Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 18 Hunting in the mountains
Before dawn, Mu Qing left for the academy, carrying the dried fish that his sister had prepared for him.

The whole Ping'an Village is still asleep. Mu Qing is walking on the country road, her thin back adds a bit of loneliness and loneliness, but her straight back reveals the tenacity and stubbornness of a teenager.

With the help of the faint moonlight and the faint starlight, the old man Mu has already started to get busy in the yard. In a few days, it will be the day when there is a big market in Wanli Township. He has to make more baskets before the big market. Collect and sell.

There are more than a dozen processes such as breaking bamboo, roasting, removing knots, layering, fixing colors, flattening, threading, and smoothing, all by hand. Old man Mu is so engrossed in doing it that he doesn't even know when Mu Li will leave.

Mu Li held a piece of Zamian pancake in his mouth, and after the sweet potato flour and cornmeal were mixed together, the Zamian pancake looked a bit black.

She has walked this small path up the mountain countless times. The rice on both sides of the road is golden and leads straight to the foot of the mountain. Mu Li happily thought that the rice will be harvested in a few days, and her family will have new rice to eat La.

She raised her hand to cover the scorching sun, and squinted her eyes to look at the sun, hoping that the next few days will be sunny, even cloudy, but it must not rain, and it should not rain continuously, otherwise her family will be full. The rice grains are about to be unlucky.

As her thoughts changed, Mu Li thought that her mother's medicine was only enough for the day. She secretly made a big wish, and decided that today, no matter what, she would bring back some more prey, and sell them at the market in exchange for some money to buy medicine for her mother. eat.

Thinking of this, Mu Li quickened his pace.

After leaving Ping'an Village, not far away, a carriage full of boxes and cabinets passed by her. A man and a woman were sitting in the carriage, heading towards Ping'an Village. I didn't pay attention any more, and continued to approach the mountain.

After arriving on the mountain and finding the path of the small animals, Mu Li started to set traps. She used the most primitive rope traps, commonly known as hanging neck traps.

After a while, she set up seven or eight traps.

After all this work, it was still early, and Mu Li was not idle. When she entered the mountain just now, she saw a mulberry tree growing on the slope. The mulberry tree is full of treasures. Not only the fruit is edible, but also the leaves and roots The bark is also edible.

No matter how old or young the leaves are, they can be boiled and served cold; the bark can be fried and ground into mulberry noodles, which can also be eaten.

The book also records that mulberries are sweet and sour in nature, and can be used for symptoms such as palpitations, insomnia, dizziness, fever and chills, dark eyes and tinnitus.

Her mother has been suffering from palpitations, insomnia, and dizziness recently.

In addition, July is the time to eat mulberries. The sweet and sour mulberries are delicious. Not only can they be eaten directly, but they can also be used to make wine and cook porridge. Of course, Muli can't miss this time Chance.

Take out the baskets prepared in advance from the back basket and rush to the mulberry tree on the slope. The mulberry tree is surrounded by towering trees, and the shade under the tree is cool, but because the mulberry tree grows in a sunny place, it is not covered by these towering trees. The big tree blocks the sun, so the fruit on the tree gets plenty of sunlight and bears very well.

The tree is not too tall, nor is it too thick, just enough to hug it with both arms, Mu Li put the basket on his arms, leaped vigorously, and climbed up the tree.

She climbs trees very skillfully and quickly, and she looks like an expert at first glance. She has climbed trees a lot since she was a child.

After a while, she climbed to the first fork.

Mu Li cautiously raised one foot, and sat straddling the tree branch, the mottled tree shadows shone on her head, face, and body.

From where Mu Li was sitting, through layers of leaves, he happened to be able to see Ping An Village at the foot of the mountain.

The Qingling River meanders from the foot of the mountain. Under the sunlight, it is sparkling. The lush green and golden rice at the foot of the mountain constitute a wonderful mountain landscape.

The summer wind blew past, the branches swayed with the wind, and Mu Li's body swayed slightly. Although the mountain was not high, it was still on the mountain, and Mu Li's heart was lifted by the gusts of wind.

When the wind stopped, she grabbed the branches tightly, stretched out her hands, and carefully reached for the fruit on the tree.

She picked all the fruits within reach of her hands into the basket.

When she looked up, she found that the top of her head was covered with plump mulberries one by one. Mu Li was moved by seeing it. She tried to extend her arms, and then stretched them again, but she couldn't reach them. It's not like Mu Li hadn't thought about standing still. Get up and go, but that's too dangerous.

Although the bottom of the mountain is not a cliff, but if you fall down, you will lose half your life.

In the end, Mu Li could only give up.

She picked a lot of leaves again, and came down when the basket was full.

As the saying goes, going up a mountain is easy and going down a mountain is hard, and the same goes for climbing a tree.

Mu Li hangs the baskets carefully in the crook of his arms, and cautiously lowers the mulberry tree. The wind blows the mulberry tree and bends it. Go bald.

A lot of mulberries fell down because the basket was tilted, and Mu Xin felt very distressed.

That's what she worked so hard to pick.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Mu Li bent down to pick up mulberries, and picked up everything she could see.

After finishing all this, Mu Li took the basket and walked to the set trap.

Mu Li faintly looked forward to it, she set seven or eight traps, half of them should be hooked, right?Thinking of this, Mu Li's steps became cheerful.

She came to the first trap site with the halter intact.

The second one was also empty.

The third hanging collar played a role, but did not catch small animals.

Mu Li was a little depressed, and walked all the way, intending to check out several other traps, but before the man approached, she heard a few "cuckoo" screams.

Mu Li sprinted over with a sound of "嗤", a pheasant was caught in a trap and was struggling desperately, and there were a few chicken feathers lying on the ground next to it.

Mu Li hurriedly took the pheasant out of the noose, so as not to be hanged later, she just tied up the pheasant's feet, and then, as if there was a resonance, the cock crowed in all directions, She threw the pheasant into the basket and ran over quickly.

Then she saw several pheasants struggling and flapping their wings.

Get rich, get rich.

Mu Li's eyes were blazing with wolves, and her whole body was excited. Like a tornado passing through the border, she tied up all the pheasants and threw them into the back basket like a tornado passing by.

After counting, there are three pheasants in total. She has heard that restaurants and restaurants are in urgent need of these game meats, and the purchase price is not low. About a catty, this trip can earn sixty Wen.

Thinking of earning so much money, and unexpectedly harvesting a lot of mulberries, Mu Li curled up his right index finger, rubbed his nose proudly, carried the heavy basket on his back, and went down the mountain to go home contentedly.

　Regarding the process before weaving baskets, I checked it on the Internet for nothing. It may not be so accurate. It’s all for the needs of the plot, so please don’t be serious~
　　Originally, I wanted to add a wild rabbit to hunting, but Ben Bao’s family raised a little chubby, looking at her cute and stupid appearance, I really couldn’t bear to start with the rabbit┭┮﹏┭┮
　　Everything that was agreed is for the needs of the plot, my dears, I am sorry for you┭┮﹏┭┮
