Chapter 176 Blueberries
"No need." Xiao Ningxue shook her head indifferently, "They don't have transportation, and they will soon be left behind."

"That's right." Wang Yonggui nodded in agreement with his pipe in his mouth, and they left.

However, the road was muddy, and carts had to be pushed from time to time, and the horse-drawn carts and ox carts were not moving fast, and they didn't even get rid of them after walking for a whole day.

In the evening, I chose a place with a gentle slope to settle down.

All the horses, carts and ox carts were rushed to one place and tied to a safe place in the innermost side of the slope.

The food on the car is all food for survival, which must be protected.

The old people and children of Xue Andong's village also settled in the innermost part, and the men's tents were set up in the outermost part.It has to be said that Wang Yonggui has considered everything in every detail.

We were divided into three groups, one group set up tents, one group made mud bricks to build a stove, and the other group went out to cut thorns and bushes for firewood.

Xiao Ningxue and Xue Ruyun Sai Dongshi and the others also went out to chop firewood with their hatchets.

On a slope of melting ice and snow ahead, there are clusters in the east and clusters in the west, covered with low shrubs.

Xiao Ningxue thought it was a seabuckthorn tree, but ran over and was surprised, it turned out to be a blueberry tree.

The dry trees are covered with naturally dried blueberries. It must be because the weather is too dry and the sun is too strong, even the trees and fruits are dried.

Take a few off and taste, the sweet and sour taste is delicious.

Xiao Ningxue was delighted, she loved to eat blueberries in modern times, but it was a pity that they were expensive, and she was not willing to buy them often with her salary.

I never thought that now in ancient times, I can realize the freedom of blueberries.He hurriedly took out a basket and picked it up excitedly.

Just as they were picking Huan, Xue Ruyun and Sai Dongshi each came over with a handful.

"Xiaoxue, can this fruit be eaten?"
Seeing that Xiao Ningxue had picked it happily, Xue Ruyun asked in bewilderment.

"You can eat it, you can eat it, it's called blueberry, and it's rich in nutrition." Xiao Ningxue hurriedly picked it while answering, "Hurry up and pick it up together, and finish this piece."

This thing is not available everywhere, and it is the first time I have come across it after walking so far.

Seeing that these dried blueberries were black and not slippery, Xue Ruyun couldn't accept it.

"But this black one, are you sure it's not poisonous?"

"Of course not." Xiao Ningxue grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing happily while explaining to them, "Don't think it's black, this black thing is called anthocyanin, which can beautify the skin and fight against diseases." Aging can also treat and prevent many diseases, which is the best that can’t be met.”

After speaking, he grinned, his mouth was stained purple.

Xue Ruyun glanced at her with disgust.

"Hiss~ Look at your mouth, aren't you afraid that your Ah Wen will dislike you?"

Xiao Ningxue raised her eyebrows and made a face at her, "If he dares to despise me, then I will let him eat more and make his mouth darker than mine!"

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to stick out his tongue and show his teeth, his small mouth was dark, cute and funny.

Xiao Ningxue said that blueberry is so good, which one of you is not tempted? Women love beauty, and they wish they could stay young forever!
They didn't listen to other effects, but they all heard about beauty and beauty, who would dislike it? They all grabbed it and stuffed it into their mouths.

They really didn't disappoint them. These dried blueberries are thick and juicy, sweet and sour.

After being naturally matured, it is dried in the hot sun, and the nutrition is firmly locked, which is more delicious than artificial drying.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise after tasting it, and they turned into "Dry Hand Guanyin" one after another, happily picking it.

After a while, four full baskets were picked.

Xiao Ningxue didn't just pick the fruits, but also came up with the idea of ​​blueberry trees. If these trees didn't dry out, wouldn't they be transplanted?
If you can transplant a blueberry orchard and sell blueberries in the future, it will be a profitable industry.Thinking of this, Xiao Ningxue hastily squatted down, pawing at the roots of the tree to inspect.

This look surprised her again.

Although the branches of these tenacious plants are dead, the roots are still green and alive!
"This is great!" Xiao Ningxue was very pleasantly surprised, "Hurry up, hurry up, get a hoe, dig out these blueberry trees, and then come to the resettlement site and plant a blueberry orchard."

So everyone brought hoes, cut off the dry branches at the root, and then dug out the roots with soil, and then wrapped the roots with oilcloth, and loaded them all into the bullock cart.

A total of thirty or forty pockets were dug, and after dark, they searched around with a torch, and as long as they were found, they were all dug out.

As for the four baskets of fruits that were picked, everyone came to taste them one after another. After tasting them, they grinned with blackened mouths and praised the deliciousness with smiles.

Those people at the bottom of Qigan Mountain, when they wanted the men of Taohua Village to help them, they were all dying, unable to carry or lift, and they were all miserable.

There is no one here to help them, didn't they also catch up with the ox carts and carriages in Taohua Village by themselves?
Now a fire was lit far to the east.

I had to live in a tent before, and my nose was full of tears, but now there is no one to give me mercy, so I can still live well?
The clothes are not lost, there are thorns and bushes everywhere, with hands and feet, how can it be impossible to survive?
The men have reflected on themselves, and feel that helping others should be done in moderation. If people become dependent on each other, if you don't help them, you will become ruthless instead!
With them stationed nearby, they had to send more people to watch the night.

There are five to six hundred people in their team. If they have any evil thoughts, they will be hard to guard against. Be careful in everything.

Spend the night with nothing to say.

On the second day, Xiao Ningxue stopped flirting with Wu Chongwen, and ran all over the mountains and plains with Xue Ruyun, Shi Jiang Jinrui and the others, looking for blueberries everywhere.

It also allowed them to find many, all of which grew from one hillside to another, and if they found one, that hilltop designated it all.

So along the way, a lot of blueberry trees were dug.

Worried that the bullock cart wouldn't fit, Xiao Ningxue would put it in the space when no one was prepared.

Three or four days later, the blueberry tree was gone, but she found another good thing, wild black wolfberry.

Like blueberries, the fruit and the branch were dried by the hot sun, leaving only the roots alive.

After the fruits are picked, the branches are cut off, and then the roots are dug out with the soil, and all are loaded into the truck.

The harvest is not small, but it also delays a lot of time, and the speed is much slower than usual.

So those people at the foot of Qigan Ridge have always followed behind them, and they have not been left behind by them.

They followed all the way, not to mention getting rich in other aspects, at least they don't worry about getting lost, right? After all, no one has been here before, once they lose their way, it's over.

After walking for another seven or eight days, gradually, the snow became less and less.

When stationed that day, everyone ran a long way before finding a piece of snow at the foot of a shady hillside and bringing it back to boil water.

Along the way, the water problem was solved in this way.

But now that the snow is almost gone, where should I find water?
