Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 6 Foraging
At the end of the year, the end of the world, when the cold window is about to dawn.

Before dawn, Lin Xiaoxiao got up.

For a person like her who usually can't sleep for eight hours at all, sleeping from dark to dawn is even more impossible.

It was only four o'clock, and Gongshu's family was still asleep.It is not dawn, and they cannot get up early.

In the cold wind in the early morning of winter, Lin Xiaoxiao came to the kitchen shivering with the light of her mobile phone.

Lin Xiaoxiao had seen firewood-burning farmhouse stoves before at farmhouses in mountainous areas, and she knew how to burn them.

The only problem was the flint and steel, which she didn't know much about.But it doesn't matter, she has a lighter in her backpack.

Lin Xiaoxiao lit a fire to boil water to make ginger soup.No need to ask anymore, there must still be only ginger soup for breakfast today.

After a bowl of ginger soup, my body warmed up.Lin Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if she was alive again.

It was still early, two hours before the sun came out, Lin Xiaoxiao decided to go out for food.

She tore off a post-it note, left a note explaining her whereabouts in the hut, and filled the vacuum flask with ginger soup. Then Lin Xiaoxiao put on her bag and went out. When she went out, she took a bamboo basket from the kitchen.

When she came down from the mountain yesterday, she passed a small stream and planned to go there first to see if she could catch fish.

Lin Xiaoxiao happened to have fishing equipment and bait in her bag.

Before going to the snow-capped mountains the day before yesterday, she had fished in the creek near the farmhouse where she lived temporarily.

When it comes to fishing by the stream in winter, I have to mention sister Qi.Back then, she watched Sister Li's video about fish in snowy water. Every winter, Lin Xiaoxiao would find a mountainous area to play for a few days, during which fishing was indispensable.

The creek was in a canyon at the foot of the snow mountain, a little distance from Wuzhang Village, and the sky was slightly bright when Lin Xiaoxiao arrived.

Lin Xiaoxiao's bait is a special bait bought from the Internet, which is more attractive to fish than ordinary bait, and it is also called a fishing cheat.

After a while, seven or eight fish were hooked.

Gayu, also known as yellow catfish, is also called yellow spicy ding in some places.

Generally, there will be fish in slow-flowing shoals.Ga fish has no scales, no thorns, and the meat is fresh and tender. It is one of Lin Xiaoxiao's favorite fish.

Seeing that there were already a dozen squids in the bamboo basket, Lin Xiaoxiao decided to return.She is not greedy, mainly because she is hungry.

What Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know was that at this time, the loser of Wuzhang Village was buzzing because of the note she left.

Early in the morning, the main room of the public loser was full of people.All five members of the public loser were there, as were the village head and several village elders.

What brought them together was the note left by Lin Xiaoxiao.

Holding the note left by Lin Xiaoxiao in his hand, the village chief looked left, right, up and down, his whole face wrinkled into a ball.

Lin Xiaoxiao used post-it notes for the note.She was too careless. There was no paper in this era, and documents were either written on animal skins or on bamboo slips and silk.

Fortunately, the villagers didn't pay much attention to this piece of paper.The focus of their dispute was Lin Xiaoxiao's handwriting.

As a civil servant, Lin Xiaoxiao can write beautiful lowercase letters.However, the common script of Hu State is Xiaozhuan.

"Village Chief, what did Shannv write?"

"Ah, I don't recognize it."

"Hey, aren't you literate?"

"I just learned a few characters from my father when I was young, and I can barely read official documents, and it's the first time I've seen heavenly books written by gods."

Sanya was lying on Daya's lap, with a sad look on the verge of crying: "Is Sister Shannu gone?"

Da Ya straightened her younger sister's body, and her expression was a little sad: "The mountain girl may have returned to the mountain."

Sanya asked again: "Does Sister Shannv dislike us for not entertaining her well? I see that she didn't have enough to eat last night?"

Sanya's question made Gongshu's family look embarrassed.

"You didn't prepare food for Shannv last night?" the village elder asked Gong Shugou severely.

Gongshu Gou said aggrievedly: "The child's mother asked me to cook two eggs for Shannv last night, but Shannv refused, and even took her own food to share with us. I thought I would give Shannv some eggs this morning Boiling eggs, I never thought that when I got up, I would find that Shannv had left. My eggs are all cooked, and they are still simmering in the pot."

Gongshu's wife blamed herself: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't just see Shannu has a good temper. Cough."

Seeing the repentance of Gongshu's family, the village head and elders couldn't continue to blame.After all, there is no one in the entire village who can eat enough, and everyone knows the situation well, so they can only sigh again and again.

Suddenly hearing the door of Gongshu's house being pushed open, everyone in the house lifted the curtain to look out, and saw Shannv coming in from the outside carrying a bamboo basket, all of them immediately blushed with joy.

Lin Xiaoxiao saw a lot of people in the room, and greeted everyone with a smile: "Everyone is here, have you eaten? I caught some fish and made fish soup for everyone to drink."

"The mountain girl is back!"

"The mountain girl didn't leave!"

Amid the excited cheers of the crowd, Lin Xiaoxiao was rushed into the main room, and the bamboo basket in her hand was taken by the big girl.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked the big girl: "I just caught some fresh fish, take a few to make breakfast fish soup, and eat the rest at noon, will you make it?"

"Yes, yes," Da Ya nodded again and again, with a smile on her face, "In summer, we often go fishing in the river, and we keep it for ourselves."

Gayu will live in shallow water when it is warm, and live in deep water when it is cold.Ordinary fishing methods are difficult to catch fish in water streams in winter, but Lin Xiaoxiao was able to reap the rewards because of the special bait used.

Big Ya went to the kitchen with the bamboo basket, and Er Ya followed to help.

Lin Xiaoxiao was surrounded by everyone and sat in the main room. After some conversation, she found out what happened.

To put it bluntly, it was a joke that Lin Xiaoxiao took for granted.

She left a note explaining her whereabouts, but Gongshu's family couldn't read.They went to the village head and the elders, but they still didn't recognize them.People in the village only thought that after she left the "Book from Heaven", she went back to the mountain and continued to be a fairy.It would be fine if Lin Xiaoxiao just went back to the mountains, but the public loser was afraid that she would be slighted, so he left without saying goodbye.

Hearing that Gongshu Gou cooked her two eggs for breakfast early in the morning, Lin Xiaoxiao was very touched, and without asking, she could think of what Gongshujia bought the eggs for.

Lin Xiaoxiao would not ask such stupid questions as why the public loser doesn't raise chickens by himself.What to feed chickens when people can't get enough to eat?
Since Lin Xiaoxiao didn't leave without saying goodbye, everyone immediately beamed with joy.

Lin Xiaoxiao drank fish soup with everyone.The fish soup made with ginger does not need extra seasoning, and it is delicious enough to make people bite off their tongues.

Especially these fish live in a pollution-free and pure natural environment, the pure freshness of the fish makes Lin Xiaoxiao drool just thinking about it.

After drinking the fish soup, the village head and village elders have not left yet.It happened that Lin Xiaoxiao had some questions, so she asked while everyone was around.

Wuzhang Village has fields to grow food, and there are mountains and rivers around it, which can be regarded as rich in natural resources.

In the era when the land was not strictly controlled, the people living here should not go hungry. Why do the villagers in Wuzhang Village not have enough to eat?
