Although Qin Lang is young, he is already very sensible.
Therefore, at that time, Jiang was cutting a road in front with a woodcutter, and he followed behind, keeping silent and immersed himself in the road.
Because he was not familiar with the mountains and wanted to avoid encountering large beasts, Shi Jiang did not walk very fast.
In addition, in some places, there is no way to go forward and you can only take a detour. Therefore, at the end of the day, I didn’t even climb the first hill.
However, after Jiang cut the thorns along the way, he actually frightened a pheasant.
However, the pheasant flew too fast, and Shi Jiang didn't have time to catch it. Instead, there were more than a dozen green pheasant eggs lying in the pheasant nest on the ground.
In addition, the harvest in the fields has just been harvested, and it is the end of autumn.
Naturally all the crops in the fields have been harvested, otherwise those Hunu would not have taken this opportunity to attack the village.
But in the mountains, especially deep in the mountains, there are still many wild fruits and other things hanging on the trees.
After all, there are too many wild beasts in the mountains. If one accidentally encounters one, he may become a meal for those wild beasts.
After putting away the wild eggs, Shi Jiang raised his head and looked at the sky. I was afraid that in two hours, the sun would set.
At that time, it would be too dangerous for them to continue their journey.
After looking around, Shi Jiang saw a rock protruding from the distance, forming a triangle. It wasn't very big, but it was just right for the mother and son to stay.
Even if it rains, there is still a shelter above your head so you don't have to worry about getting wet.
Shi Jiang handed Qin Lang the woodcutter and asked him to cut off the branches around the rock first.
Take a hoe yourself and clean the land to avoid snakes, rats, insects and ants.
Because no one had been here, the ground was full of fallen leaves. When the ground was pulled apart, the leaves inside were all rotten. Because they were pulled apart, the insects inside were crawling everywhere.
Shi Jiang felt a numbness in his back, and he dug a layer into the ground to pull out all the bugs.
At this time, Qin Lang also came over with a bundle of firewood.
He was worried, even if he had firewood, he had no pot or food, what should he do?
Then she was surprised to see her mother take out a small iron pot from the package she took off her back.
"When you went to chop wood just now, did you find any water nearby?"
Upon hearing his mother's question, Qin Lang shook his head.
It's not easy to find water sources in these deep mountains and old forests.
Shi Jiang thought for a while and realized that there was water in his mustard space, but it was just not convenient to take it out.
So, she said to Qin Lang.
"You start the fire here first, cut more firewood, put the branches from this side to this side, and burn the entire triangular area. Mom, go find water, be careful yourself."
The bugs on the ground just now gave her some goosebumps, and she couldn't bear to just lie on the ground like this.
Therefore, burning this entire area is regarded as disinfection.
In addition, after the burning, the ground is hot. If you lie on it like this, you won't feel cold in the middle of the night.
After giving instructions and seeing Qin Lang nodding, Shi Jiang left.
She was not looking for a water source, but a container that could hold water.
Although she now has a small iron pot in her hand, the water is still too little. After putting a handful of rice in and cooking the porridge, there will be no water left to drink.
She had to prepare some water that she could drink when she was thirsty when she was on her way tomorrow.
Qin Lang didn't cry out for thirst during the whole day today. Although it was the first day, Qin Lang was sensible and knew that there were no water bladders for the mother and son to drink.
Thinking of this, Shi Jiang regretted it very much. She should have bought more water bags earlier.
She remembered to buy grain, salt, and a small iron pot, but she forgot to buy a water bag.
After all, although this place is located on the border, there is still no shortage of water.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so much green grass on the grassland for the Hunus to graze.
Regret is regret, you still have to think of a solution.
However, after walking around in a big circle and still unable to find a suitable container or water source, Shi Jiang could only go back angrily with an iron pot of water taken out from the space.
Qin Lang had burned everything on the ground, and then formed a circle outside, throwing a few firewood over from time to time to form a flame isolation zone.
Generally, snakes, rats, insects and ants cannot come in. As for large beasts, Qin Lang has never thought about it. After all, he has never encountered those jackals, tigers and leopards.
Shi Jiang was very satisfied with what Qin Lang did.
So, after placing the small iron pot on the fire, Shi Jiang threw all the dozen eggs he picked up before into the pot and cooked them.
After all, if you are traveling with raw eggs tomorrow, it might be inconvenient for you to travel because they are easy to break.
It is better to cook it all and eat it in two or three days to supplement nutrients.
After the eggs were cooked, Shi Jiang took them out and gave four to Qin Lang for him to eat.
These wild eggs are much smaller than those raised at home, but they are also much larger than bird eggs. Therefore, Qin Lang, a child, is actually quite full after eating four wild eggs.
Shi Jiang ate three and stopped eating. She put the rest into the package.
Then he took out a thin blanket from the package, spread it on the ground, and let Qin Lang lie down on it to rest.
And he was leaning against the stone wall, squinting his eyes and falling asleep.
It was also lucky for the mother and son that no large beasts appeared after one night, and the originally burning fire turned into ashes.
Using the water in the iron pot, Shi Jiang and Qin Lang wet the cloths, wiped them briefly, and continued on their way.
This time, while walking along the road, both of them checked from time to time to see if there was any sound of water flowing around them.
But, where is the source of water so easy to find?
After seven days in a row, Shi Jiang glanced at the sun above his head, sweating profusely.
A few days ago, mother and son still had a chance to walk back and get out of the mountains.
But now, they have climbed over a mountain and almost lost half of their lives. If they climb back again, they will probably die on the spot!
However, the past few days have not been fruitless, at least Qin Lang now wears two water jugs dug out of wood on his waist.
Shi Jiang also wore two on his waist. At least when he was on the road, he would not be afraid of being thirsty and running out of water.
Just when Jiang and Qin Lang felt that there might not be any large beasts in the mountains, they saw a tiger with the word "king" on its forehead, slowly approaching the mother and son from the front with graceful steps.
Shi Jiang slowly stood in front of Qin Lang, then swallowed hard and lowered his voice.
"Wait a minute, if mom tells you to run, just run. Don't look back. Keep running forward until you reach the place where we rested last night. Then find a higher tree and climb on it to wait for me. Do you know?"
Qin Lang only felt that his legs were like noodles, trembling non-stop.
When I heard my mother's words, tears fell down, but I still nodded vigorously.
