Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 345 345 Cow Flying in the Sky

Jiang Li smiled after hearing this, "You like me to catch it tomorrow and roast it for you."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, "Have a rest overnight, and tomorrow morning we'll see if we can find rice near here."

While cooking, she summed it up and felt that her idea of ​​finding rice seeds was wrong.

You should not look for the rice in later generations, because even if there is rice now, it should be the kind of wild rice with long stalks and long beards on the grains, which looks like barnyard grass.

Seeing her frowning, Jiang Li felt relieved, moved to her side, and said softly, "Okay, I'll burn two bonfires by the river tonight, you go to the river to freshen up and get a good night's sleep."

Yao Xiaoqing's face was a little hot, and she smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's time to wash it well, the smell on your body is almost the same as the sour smell in the woods."

Afraid that she would be embarrassed, Jiang Li pointed to his long sour hair, "I stink worse than you."

"The two of us stink here!" Yao Xiaoqing gave him a reproachful look, and picked up a spoon to scoop up the porridge.

Heiba ​​and Daliang washed their hands, ran back briskly, and each of them picked up a big fish that had been grilled by Jiang Li and stuck it on the ground, and started to chew.

Heiba's eyes lit up: "It's delicious, even better than the fish in Ning River."

"Let me try it." Yao Xiaoqing picked up one and took a bite, and found that the fish was so tender that people could swallow it with their tongues. "Yes, it is indeed delicious."

Seeing that everyone likes grilled fish, Jiang Li smiled proudly, "I don't even look at anyone's craftsmanship. I rank second in grilled fish and barbecue, and no one dares to rank first."

Yao Xiaoqing pointed to the river, "Look, you two, cows are flying in the sky!"

Heiba ​​and Daliang hastily turned their heads to look over, "Why didn't we see it?"

"Stupid!" Jiang Li smiled and patted Heiba, "Xiaoqing said I was talking big and bragging!"

Da Liang looked at Yao Xiaoqing seriously, "Qing Wu, grilled fish is really delicious!"

"Yes, it's delicious." Yao Xiaoqing smiled.

The three men ate delicious mushroom soup, and felt satisfied after eating a fat grilled fish, and then felt full after eating some dried meat.

It was oppressively hot in the woods, and after dark, black mosquitoes flew over the campfire, making a disturbing buzz.

From time to time, moths flew into the fire, emitting a smell of barbecue.

Yao Xiaoqing rolled up the wormwood and threw it on the bonfire, a puff of smoke rose, and the mosquitoes flew farther away.

Jiang Li thought of the water snake in the river, and said, "There are long worms in the river. Going to the river to take a bath will burn two bonfires."

"Just grab some firewood and light it on the beach." Heiba ​​said.

Da Liang picked up a bundle of firewood, "Let's go!"

The water in the river was cool and pleasant, and the three of them buried themselves in the water, and quickly washed away the greasy sweat from their bodies.

Heiba ​​and Daliang laughed and splashed water on each other, Jiang Li quickly cleaned up, changed into clean clothes, and felt much more comfortable.

Looking back, I saw two people holding dirty clothes and going to the shore.Jiang Li stopped the two of them to wash their clothes and trousers together, and took them back to dry on wooden sticks.

"Xiaoqing, you should go faster when you wash, there are long worms and giant pythons in the water." Jiang Li told Yao Xiaoqing, "Call me if there is anything wrong, I will wait for you here."

One must be careful when bathing in the river at night in summer, as the long worms and giant pythons in the water are hard to guard against.

"Got it, I'm bringing the dagger with me."

After talking, Yao Xiaoqing stepped on the steps on the big tree and went up to the tree house, peeled off the flower curtain, and saw that there was an animal skin mat in the hut, and it was soft to step on with bare feet, as if it was covered with a thick carpet.

She took out a bamboo tube in the back basket, which contained soap liquid, and smelled the fragrance of wild flowers hanging around the house.I thought about cutting some back after these flowers died, and tying them to the tree house.

She took out a set of Gebu underwear from her mountaineering bag. She likes the clothes made of Gebu very much. They are thin and comfortable to wear.

Yao Xiaoqing arrived at the river, looked around vigilantly, took off her shoes and walked into the water, walked to waist-deep position, immersed in the water and quickly washed up.

After smelling her hair, she had already exuded a refreshing smell, so she went ashore and changed into clean clothes and pants, cleaned the dirty laundry room, and returned to the campfire, and saw Jiang Li sitting there alone, Heiba ​​and Da Liang had already gone to bed. The tree went to sleep.

Jiang Li handed over two wooden sticks with clean shaved burrs, and the two of them held the other and put their clothes on.

Jiang Li took the wooden stick on which the clothes were drying, and said softly, "You dry your hair, I tied a few loops next to the tree house, and just put the wooden stick on the loops."

"Thank you!" Yao Xiaoqing sat by the bonfire, took off the horn comb from her head, her long black hair was scattered on her shoulders, and slowly combed it with the comb.

Jiang Li hung up his clothes and turned his head to look at the girl who was combing her hair by the fire. She had black waist-length hair, a smooth forehead, two black eyebrows, and a pair of clear eyes, which were as pure as autumn water.

Under the handsome Joan's nose, two lips were as bright red as cherries, with a seductive luster.His mind fluttered, his heart seemed to jump out of his chest, he hurriedly turned around and straightened his clothes to dry, calmed down a bit before walking back to the campfire.

Looking at Yao Xiaoqing's honey-colored skin, he blushed a little, took out some fruits from his pocket and handed them to her, "Xiaoqing, do you think we should rest for two days before looking for them, or should we walk around?"

Yao Xiaoqing stopped baking her long hair, took the maroon fruit, thought for a while and said, "Let's look along the river bank tomorrow morning, if we can't find it, forget it."

Jiang Li looked at her tenderly, "I didn't find it here, next time I go hunting on the other side of the river, I will search hard, and I will find it one day."

"Yeah!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled at him, "I will find it one day, otherwise where did the rice we eat come from! Unless it is another time and space."

Jiang Li nodded and stretched out his hand to Yao Xiaoqing, "If you eat the fruit, give me the comb and I'll comb it for you, is that okay?" Before he finished speaking, he felt that his ears were ripe.

I was still a little worried, worried that Yao Xiaoqing would think he was frivolous.

Yao Xiaoqing turned to look at him, smiled and handed him the horn comb, took a bite of the crunchy and sweet fruit and turned around: "Jiang Li, were you from the north or the south?"

Jiang Li held her long black hair and combed it gently, "I grew up in the south, and I have been stationed in the north before I came here. There is rice in the barracks." After a pause, he continued, "Xiaoqing must have been from the south before. , that’s why I’m so persistent in looking for rice.”

"I was born in the South and grew up in the South. Three meals a day are all white rice...and occasionally I eat pasta." Yao Xiaoqing sighed, "Sometimes I eat white rice in my dreams."

"It's also because of the abundance of food and clothing in your place that you become obsessed with food. In Dajin, the common people are grateful to have a mouthful of brown rice to eat. To tell you the truth, I was hungry for a few days when I first arrived. "

Jiang Li remembered that when he first came here, he was covered in injuries, and he had to suffer from hunger and cold. Fortunately, Yao Xiaoqing didn't see him in the most embarrassing state.
