Chapter 118 Chapter 118
The next morning, Qingcang and Changfeng began to barbecue for breakfast. Xiaoxi salted the fish that had been cleaned yesterday, and after the salting was done, took it out and stored it in the sun to eat after the snow season.

After the meal, Xiaoxi fed the little candy, and took it out for Qingcang to help carry. Today, she and Changfeng are going to find some food that can be stored for a long time.

In previous hot seasons, things could not be preserved because of the hot weather. Changfeng and the others would eat and catch as much as they could, and they had never had the habit of storing food.

It was only after Xiaoxi reminded them that they would stay here to spend this snow season, so they had to store enough food.

At this time, the prey brought back from the hot weather will go bad if left for too long. No matter how much prey they catch, they will not be able to keep it now, so Chang Feng and Qing Cang are not very busy now.

At this time, they have a lot of time, and they can just accompany the creek to find food that can be stored. If it is after the frost season, their males will be busy catching prey every day, and then they will have no time to accompany her.

On this day, Chang Feng carried Xiaoxi on his back and ran for a long distance and went to many places. He found several edible foods, but he couldn't find the sweet rice they ate last year.

When Xiaoxi came out, he brought two extra-large animal skin bags, which were almost full at the moment. What surprised Xiaoxi that day was that they found some corn-like plants under a hillside.

It's just that the height of the corn stalks is as high as two small streams, and the corn cobs are much larger than the modern ones. Although these corns have not grown old yet, it will be the right time to make boiled corn.

So Xiaoxi broke half of the bag and came back, thinking about grilled corn, corn stew, and boiled corn, the thought of these Xiaoxi is drooling, really haven't eaten for a long time.

To be on the safe side, after going back, Xiaoxi asked Changfeng to catch a small animal to test the poison, so that she dared to let everyone eat it.

Looking at the sun-dried eggplant peppers, cumin, Chinese prickly ash, and some seasonings from the creek in another animal skin bag, I also dug them back.

When the sun was setting, Xiaoxi and the others went back. Although they didn't find sweet rice, Xiaoxi looked at the two bulging animal skin bags on the left and right, so today's trip was not in vain.

In this way, Xiaoxi and Changfeng went out early and returned late for several days, but they did not find sweet rice. They wondered if there was no such plant in this area.

So they didn't force it any more. Fortunately, they found a lot of corn, and it was a good way to store food when they came to take back the corn here when the elders came.

This day, because Qing Cang was invited by Ah Hong's family to help with the kang, Xiao Xi and the others didn't go out, Chang Feng took Feng Yuan to a distant forest to hunt, and Xiao Xi was left with Xiao Candy at home.

Xiaoxi held Xiao Candy and took a piece of animal skin in her hand. She came to the arbor built by Chang Feng and Qing Cang the day before yesterday, spread out the animal skin in her hand, and put the fleshy little candy on it play by youself.

Enclosing a fence made of wood, even if Xiaotang turns over, she will not turn over, so that she has something to do, and she is not afraid of being exposed to the scorching sun.

Xiaoxi took a few toys for Xiao Candy to play with. Seeing that she was playing well, she walked out of the shed and dried the salted fish that had been marinated during this period. show.

I also took out the eggplant peppers, cumin, peppercorns, and taro slices that I found out for a while, dried them and stored them.

I thought that after a while, she would like to pickle some pickles, so that there would be vegetables to eat during the snow season.

The red fruit in Houshan can be picked these days, and I can pick more this year. Although every day is very busy, Xiaoxi is very satisfied.

Xiaoxi was busy taking out the things he had brought back for a while to dry, when he heard a commotion outside the valley, and then there was a knock on the big wooden door at the entrance of the valley, accompanied by Xiaohua's loud voice, "Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi Xi, I'm here, open the door."

Xiaoxi shook her head helplessly when she heard Xiaohua's loud voice, and ran to open the door for the ultrasound.

When I opened the wooden door, I saw Xiaohua holding a small stone, Xiaoya and Yun standing behind her, and several females greeted with smiles, and Xiaoxi hurriedly invited them into their valley.

Xiaoxi looked at Xiaohua and said, "You moved here today, why didn't you say anything?"

"I didn't tell you, but I wanted to give you a surprise!" Xiaohua walked into the valley of Xiaoxi's house and was stunned by the scenery in front of her.

There is a stone road at the foot, colorful flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the road, and the field on the side is divided into small fields, on which various vegetable seedlings are transplanted.

At the fork of the path, there is still a small rocky mountain with a strange shape. When the valley was cleared, the creek saw that this natural rockery looked good, so it stayed.

A pergola was built not far from the stone mountain, and a swing was built between two trees next to the shed.

A stone slab was paved not far in front, and various things were dried on it. At the corner of the valley where there was a spring, a pool was built with stones.

Xiaohua, Xiaoya and Yun couldn't help being surprised by this kind of living environment when they saw Xiaohua for the first time. Usually, the caves that everyone digs for living will be dug very high for safety.

And it was the first time I saw someone dug a cave in the valley, and it could be built so beautifully.

Seeing such a beautiful residence, Xiaohua fell in love with it, stopped hurriedly and hurried back, and said while walking: "To give you a surprise, I didn't even visit the cave where my family lives.

No, seeing how beautiful your living environment is, I can't wait to go to mine to see if it's as beautiful as yours. "

Xiaoxi is about to kneel down to Xiao Hua's rough nerves, and she goes back to other people's houses without entering the door. This is their house. Home, not even entering the house.

As expected of a family, Xiaoya and Yun, who were following Xiaohua, saw Xiaoxi's house, and couldn't help but have a longing for the cave where their family lived. They also greeted Xiaoxi and followed Xiaohua.

Xiaoxi shook her head dumbfounded, what's the matter, looking at the empty valley as if she had hallucinations just now, no one has ever been to her house.

Thinking of the longing for the new residence in Xiao Hua's eyes, Xiaoxi sighed, and hoped that the gap between them would not be too big. After all, she also visited their cave after it was completed, but it was similar to the residences of most orc families.

Even the living environment of Ah Hong's family is better than that of Xiaohua's family, because under Ah Hong's insistence, the males of his family gave up the cave they dug.

Moved the house to the valley and built it like Xiaoxi's house. Even the caves where they lived were dug in the same style, because the caves of the Drilling Mountain Jia orcs' house were better.

Sure enough, when Xiaohua came to her house again in the afternoon, she was sitting on the kang of Xiaoxi's house with a dejected expression on her face.

Seeing that on the clean and flat kang covered with sheets, there were a few toys that Changfeng made of wood for Little Candy,
Looking at the bright and tidy living cave, and then thinking about the cave dug by my own house, it is really a cave.

The newly dug cave at her house is the same as the one she used to live in. Although there is a lot of space inside, the light is very dark because it does not have a window like Xiaoxi’s house.
And it's not as low as the entrance of the Xiaoxijia mountain cave. When she came just now, she walked up the wooden stairs directly. She never knew that going up the cave could be so easy.

But the cave in my own home is still so high. Although the wooden ladder has been hung, it is really inconvenient to go up and down.

She heard that everything in this valley was designed by Xiaoxi, and she also heard from Dahe that Xiaoxi once suggested that their family dig a cave in the valley.

It's just that they saw that the valley of their home was not suitable for digging a living place, so they chose a place to dig a living cave on the mountain outside the valley.

Because the cave is outside for fear of wild animals jumping into it, the height of the dug is still more than seven or eight meters.

If there was no Xiaoxi family for comparison, the gap in Xiaohua's heart would not be so great.

Seeing Xiaohua's sullen look, Xiaoxi didn't know what to say, after all, she also suggested to force them to dig a living cave in the valley.

Maybe because it wasn't suitable, Xiaohua's family dug the cave outside the valley in the end, and she couldn't say anything more.

However, Xiaoya and his family dug a living cave in the valley. I don’t know if it is because they are afraid of safety. The cave dug by their family is slightly higher than Xiaoxi’s cave, about five meters high.

Yao once came to Xiaoxi's house and saw the stairs in front of their cave. After returning home, he also made wooden stairs, which made it much more convenient for his house to go up and down the cave.

It’s just that the area of ​​Xiaoya’s valley is larger than that of Xiaoxi’s, and there are several exits from the valley. Feng has far-sightedness. Although their valley’s shape is not good, unlike Xiaoxi’s, their valley is almost like a big one. courtyard.

But he still chose to dig the cave where he lived in the valley, and the extra valley exit was slowly built with big stones. Although the valley in their home is still in chaos, Xiaoxi believes that after they live in, the valley will be opened again. Slowly it will be sorted out very well.

It's just that none of their families have a kang. It seems that they still have to go to the holy mountain to spend the snow season. This Xiaoxi dare not persuade her. After all, it is her first time to spend the snow season here in the forest. What kind of situation is it? Only after a snow season here, she will know.

Xiaohua looked at Xiaoxi sadly and said: "Xiaoxi, tell me, is it true that the valley in our family's territory cannot be lived?"

How does Xiaoxi answer this? After all, the males must have thought carefully about digging a cave to live there. What does this make her say.

Xiaoxi didn't want her to be unhappy, so she comforted her: "If you have any ideas, go back and talk to Big Brother Meng and the others. There must be a reason why they don't want to dig caves in the valley."

When Xiaohua was picked up by their male in the evening, Xiaoxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She can only mention other people's affairs, and really has no right to make decisions.

Seeing that Xiaohua is so unhappy because of where she lives, Xiaoxi can only sigh helplessly.
