Before the tarantula got up to fight back, I passed it and immediately lit the dead wood, and it was buried under the sea of ​​fire. There were field cooking utensils around, which showed that someone had used it in the wild, but there was no trace of the person. There is only one possibility. The spider devoured it in a nest somewhere, since it can eat people, it must not stay.

Walking back, I saw that Yunwen had rescued the wild horse. It was not big. It stood upright and only reached my waist. It had chestnut skin and a dark brown mane on its body. I still don’t know if it is a pocket horse. It can only be so big, or it is still in the juvenile development stage, which can only be judged by seeing it gnashing its teeth.

However, it is more likely that it should be a young foal, because its movements are clumsy, its limbs are longer than its trunk, and it should still be developing.

Yunwen probably went to fetch some hay and young grass specially for him to eat. The pony was chewing vigilantly, and the way its mouth moved from side to side seemed a bit funny. Yunwen tried to touch its mane. He didn't resist, and gave it food, and the little guy looked trustful and easy to deceive.

"Zhou Bo, are you alright? Where's the spider?" Yun Wen hurriedly asked when she saw me coming.

"It's burned, but there may be a spider's nest near here, we have to hurry down the mountain." I said.

"Okay, can I have a merciless request?" Yunwen asked.

When I looked at her eyes, I immediately understood what she meant. Presumably, it was because of me that so many of her fox friends lost their lives in vain. I should have fulfilled one of her wishes.

"You want to say, help Xiao Ma find his family back? Okay, when I get to the bottom of the mountain, if I have a chance, I will try to see it." I said.

"Well, that's great, you're so kind! Sanfu, thank you brother." Yunwen said with a smile.

"Sanfu? What's the name?" I also laughed.

"I just named it. Now it is the dog days between the minor heat and the major heat, so it is called the dog days, and it is a bit like Sanfu, which symbolizes that all three of us are blessed. Do you think it is okay?" Yunwen asked.

"That's right, the meaning is good, and it's easy to hear and remember. Then let's go quickly. A large number of spiders will come in a while, and we will have a hard time." I said.

"Okay, but it's injured on its leg, so it can't go too hastily, Zhou Bo, can you show some understanding." Yunwen grabbed my sleeve and said coquettishly with her watery eyes.

She seldom asks me to do things, since she rarely asks, how can she not agree?

I coughed, my vanity was fully satisfied, and I said, "It's a small matter, let's go."

"It's so kind of you!"

After some deliberation, I still took the broken hanging pot away, and then walked down the mountain with Yunwen and Sanfu. There were slopes all the way, and it was easy to walk, just beware of any more tarantulas coming. , there are many dead animals wrapped in spider silk near the mountain wall, big and small, really scary, but we didn't touch their spider food, so they won't attack easily.

Furthermore, I always light a torch, and if they come, I will light all those spider threads, and I will not be afraid of them.

Follow the slope to the bottom of the mountain. There is a forest in front of you, which is the other end of the dangerous forest area. You can see many wild deer grazing in the dense forest, looking peaceful and quiet.

What surprised me was that there was a wooden fence not far ahead, and inside it was a place like an ancient military tent. Not only that, but also paid attention to ostentation. Big traditional characters: "Milong Military Aircraft".

"Milong military aircraft? It seems that they are using it as a transit station here." Yunwen analyzed.

"The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade. This unintentionally left us with a good place to live. It happened that the horse's leg was seriously injured. Let's rest here, give it some treatment, and then find the horse. Send it back with Qun, and I will find some grass and water, so that it can quench its thirst and eat something, how about it?" I asked.

"Of course, I'll cook for you when you're looking for something later. Let's think about the itinerary after we're full. Anyway, it's not far to go down the mountain to Zhalong Mountain. Take your time." Yunwen Said.

We went into the station, and the fence was set up to prevent wild beasts from outside. It was two meters high and had wooden thorns on it. They all cried out in surprise, and saw that this place is not simple, there is a well and a wooden barrel for fetching water, and a water wheel behind it, which should have been used to irrigate the good fields here, but now the good fields are no longer there, and the weeds are not. few.

This is the outer courtyard, as well as the inner room. When I opened the door of the inner room, Yunwen and I were even more surprised. There are two floors in total, with stairs on the left side, three or four dining tables on the first floor, and a dining table on the right side. In the place of cooking, there is an obvious big pot on the stove, which can be used to cook porridge and make big pot rice.

However, this pot is more than 500 years old, and there is no rust removal thing. I am afraid that it will not be able to be used. It is not as good as the stainless steel modern hanging pot I brought, but my pot has already broken a hole, and the two are not the same. Bar.There is also a large stone mill not far from the stove. The workmanship is much better than mine, and the grinding of teeth is a top-notch craft.

It's just that moss has grown on the stone mill, so it needs to be treated before it can be used again.

In addition, there are no bowls and chopsticks here. Yunwen also told me that in ancient times when marching and fighting, soldiers did not have very good conditions, so they might use helmets as bowls and fold two branches as chopsticks. Besides, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also used a kind of The food for the march is just big pancakes, which can be carried in strings, why use bowls and chopsticks when there are pancakes?Therefore, the Milong camp during the Jiajing period should also use the above method.

There are still a lot of wheat stalks growing outside, which must be the origin of Milongying's marching rations and pancakes, but after so long, there should be no authentic wheat outside, only wild wheat.

"It's all done, there is water and grass, I don't have to go out to look for it." I said.

"Not only that, there are empty mangers and reins outside. They can be washed and used directly for Sanfu in a while. As for the food, those wild wheats are also called wild oats. They are also very nutritious. They can be used to make tea, barley The bran and wheat straw can be eaten by Sanfu, and after shelling, they can be ground or made into steamed buns, or baked at high temperature to make oatmeal, and there are many ways to eat it.” Yunwen said.

I smiled, Milongying thought of it for future generations.

The well water has been turbid after many years of use. It is not as clear and edible as the mountain spring water flowing from the waterwheel in the backyard. Therefore, we only use the well water to scrub things. We cleaned the stone trough used by the horses and poured mountain spring water into it. , put some tender grass, hay and wheat stalks for Sanfu to eat and drink, and we prepared our own food.

The wild wheat has grown a lot, and we all gathered it. Yunwen was in charge of washing the wheat with buckets, and I went upstairs to take a look around. There were two or three rooms above, all equipped with wooden beds, so I opened the windows , drive away mildew, ready to sleep at night.

Then I cleaned the forks and military jugs I picked up near the tarantula nest on the hillside. I had heard of some old methods, using eggs to descale. Put some bird's eggs in it, and cook it twice to achieve descaling.

The last troublesome thing is this broken pot. Just when I felt at a loss as to what to use, I suddenly remembered the stove. If I took the iron pot away and built a gap, wouldn’t it be used as a high-temperature furnace for smelting iron? ?Once iron can be smelted, it can be transformed and that place can be filled.

Once the pot is ready to be used, all kinds of food can be produced, and there is no need to worry about the food for the march to Zhalong Mountain. If you have water and food, you will not be afraid of a long journey.
