Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 55

"On the first day of today, we have to walk at least eighty miles, and try to leave Qizhou as soon as possible. So don't be brave if you can't walk, and change people to rest in the bullock cart."

Song Yeqing emphasized again.

It's better to take turns taking breaths now than to be exhausted tomorrow and have to stay in the car all the time.

"Don't worry, Qingniang, we're all used to it." Uncle Wu walked with his head down like an old cow.

The mountains are high and the roads are far away. People here are really used to walking everywhere, and they have practiced it a long time ago.

"That's right, I can walk a hundred miles a day." Wu Dayuan said.

One hundred miles, fifty kilometers?you sure?

Song Yeqing looked at the two younger ones from the Wu family.

"Auntie, I will get in the car if I can't walk."

Wu Daling promised that Wu Youliang would continue.

The others didn't have any opinion, and expressed their opinions one after another, saying that they would not be brave.

"Qing Niang, we are all fine. It's just that you should go to the car."

Compared with themselves, Aunt Ge was actually more worried about Song Yeqing.

After all, in her eyes, Mrs. Song has always been a delicate little lady who can't go far.

"I'll walk a little longer." That's all Song Yeqing said.

Next, several of them took turns to sit on the bullock cart, giving way to each other and encouraging them to move forward.

They stopped to set up camp when it was getting dark, and the distance they advanced steadily exceeded Song Yeqing's original expectations.

But she didn't feel relieved, thinking that she would be able to walk such a long distance every day.

It's always easiest when you're just starting out.

Song Yeqing carried Song Chengsi out of the car. This kid slept in the dark today, but his brother got out of the car and walked for a while because he couldn't stay.

There are mountains and forests everywhere, and the team stopped on a rare open space by the roadside.

The women built fires where they were cooking.Mrs. Qi was consciously taken care of by everyone, and she was not asked to do anything.

Song Yeqing was worried about her condition, and touched her wrist while helping her out of the car.

Fortunately, the pulse condition is stable.

Fortunately, the sky is dry, the road is fairly smooth, and there are few big bumps.

"You can take a walk next to you." Sitting for a long time is not a good thing for pregnant women.

Especially today she only got out of the car a few times to eat and go to the bathroom.

Uncle Wu and Father Qi went to the forest to collect firewood, while Wu Dalang stayed in the camp and took the cows with his son to graze nearby.

He Yanxin and Wu Sanlang went to find water sources and hunt?
The population base of this world is low, most of them live in clusters around towns, and large areas of land are uninhabited.

The primeval forest covers a large area, and of course there are also a lot of wild animals.

Jackals, tigers, leopards, wild boars, black bears and other large beasts are all available.

Although these ferocious beasts seldom approach the main roads that people come and go, there are quite a lot of pheasants and hares in the forest.

When children in the village were young, they would go to the wild to trap rabbits, pheasants, and hunt birds.

Over the past year, it has become increasingly difficult to obtain food, and every family has to get it to eat, and the small animals near the village are almost gone.

The original owner also went to set it up, but it didn't work a few times.

Therefore, it is true that He Yanxin will not hunt with a bow and arrow seriously, but he will set simple traps.

The two walked for 10 to [-] minutes before reaching a low-lying place to find running water, and filled their backs with bamboo tube water bags and other tools.

He Yanxin followed his memory and set two nooses on several small animal paths.

Add Wu Sanlang's two to achieve multi-layer insurance.

In order to maintain good health, human beings must consume protein and fat in addition to carbohydrates.

If you lack these substances for a long time and you have to travel a long distance, your body is prone to major problems.

Walking with outsiders means that Song Yeqing cannot use the materials in the space unscrupulously.

So along the way, it is obligatory to obtain meat.

But I can't eat this meal, I can only wait until tomorrow morning when I come to fetch water, and if I get it, I can take it with me at night.

When the two returned to the camp, it was completely dark, and Wu Sanlang went to his wife's side.

Of course He Yanxin also wants to go...huh?What about Song Yeqing?
The He family brothers were brought by Miss Wu, but Song Yeqing was nowhere to be seen.

"Qing Niang, she said it's convenient to go." Aunt Ge replied while stirring the porridge in the pot.

Then she froze for a moment, really dizzy after staying by the fire for too long.

"No, she seems to have been out for a long time, I'll go and see."

Everyone else was busy with work, even Mrs. Qi helped add firewood while warming up the fire, but no one noticed that Song Yeqing hadn't come back after going out.

"Mom, let me go."

But before Mrs. Chen walked out of sight, Song Yeqing appeared.

She also carried a pheasant with gorgeous feathers in her hand.

Animals are storing fat for the winter, so they still look fat.

"I saw it when it was convenient, so I hit it with a stone, but I didn't expect to be killed... Haha. Good luck, right?"

Song Yeqing tried her best to explain why she got this.It's just that those two dry smiles were not very emotional, and a little embarrassing.

She did go to the toilet just now, because she didn't feel safe in the open air and walked away.

Then I found that there were a lot of small animals, so I did it.

He Yanxin:?

But he still opened his mouth to cover for her: "Yes, you are very lucky. Did you get scared just now?"

It is about whether he has the opportunity to show his ability and support the other party in this life.He Yanxin put a pending label.

It's so terrifying, how can this woman know everything?

"Yeah, it rushed over just now, it was very close to me, and it gave me a big jump."

Song Yeqing patted his right chest with his hands, forcing a look of fear.

Everyone: I really don't see where she is afraid.

But according to her description, it is really good luck that you can hit a stone at such a close distance.

That's how it got over this.

Wu Dalang took the chicken and plucked it from a distance.

Anyone who has camped in the wild knows that carnivores are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood.Stay away from your home when handling bloody food.

It's just that Song Yeqing didn't bring a knife with him when he went out, otherwise he would have dealt with it outside and brought it back.

Of course, hitting a pheasant is enough to go beyond the mark, and she will not do something stupid like disposing of the chicken cleanly.

Aunt Ge and the others took over the job of cooking for the He family, saying that they would not ask Song Yeqing to help.

So she had to make the bed.Tonight, she, the two children and Mrs. Qi will sleep in the carriage together.

In fact, Song Yeqing is not good at everything.

Survival in the wild is taught in school, including how to get food.

It's just that she has space and basically doesn't need these skills.

What's more, their world protected too many animals, and she didn't have the opportunity to practice it.

Near night is when wild animals are most active, and all kinds of small animals come out.

But because she didn't have enough muscle training and lack of experience, she missed a few times before and let go of two hares.

Song Yeqing squatted in the woods for half an hour before getting this pheasant.

There are no bows and arrows in the space, only one blow with a stone to kill, no pain, well done.

In the end everyone had a bowl of steaming chicken soup and a piece or two of chicken.

Among them, the four of the He family naturally ate the most.

Pheasant soup with porridge.

Only salt and wild ginger dug by father Qi were put in the soup, and the vegetables were plucked from home.

It can't be said how delicious it is, at least it's not that good compared to the meals Song Yeqing cooked before.

But that's all there is to it.

　This book is purely fictitious, and the characters' behavior and plot need it.In reality, wild animals should never be eaten.Although the author likes to watch wilderness survival programs, he definitely does not agree with the practice of eating game.
