Fertile land

Chapter 10

The mother-in-law and her mother walked towards the top of the mountain, knocking and knocking.

Kewang saw purple-pink wild rhododendrons blooming along the way and picked two...

Plug it into two little hair buns for little Miaomiao...

But Miaomiao pouted her little mouth, she couldn't move anymore, she drooped her head and said, "Mom..." as if she was afraid that Luo Zhi'er would blame her.

She put down the backpack and carried it over. "Here, our poor little kid, come in!"

She put her in a backpack and carried her...

In the jungle, birds chirping, insects chirping, blue sky and white clouds, Miao Miao holding the edge of her basket on her back, chattering, so happy.

Along with the chirping of the summer singer cicada, she also hummed a little tune, "Only a mother is good in the world, and a child with a mother is a treasure..."

Miaomiao was carrying the basket and felt that her mother was really different. Being alone with her mother felt so happy!

Walking among the lush tree-lined paths, behind the green leaves, the cicadas were chirping loudly in this area, so the location of the two of them should be hidden.

This mountain belongs to the east of the village and is called Zhaizibao.

They were on the bag in the middle of the cow's stomach. Seeing that it was hidden, she found a piece of flat land.

After putting Miao Miao down, Luo Zhi'er stood up and looked down.

The entire Zhaoli Village has a panoramic view. Zhaoli Village is shaped like a crescent moon, like a cow's stomach.

Zhaoli Village is the largest village within a radius of dozens of miles. Most people with the surname Li and Zhao, as well as some people with other surnames, have moved here one after another.

The most populous, but also the poorest.

Smoke is rising from the roofs of some houses...

There are still more than a dozen people busy in a slightly flat area, building houses...

Luo Zhi'er took a look, closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the fresh air here, feeling refreshed... "Wow, it feels so comfortable!"

He used a sickle to chop around the flat land, gathered some dry firewood, and took out flint to make a fire!

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"Miaomiao, are you hungry? Let's eat something before climbing!"

After crawling for so long, she was worried that Miao Miao didn't have enough energy. This girl was so skinny that she was naked.

She is also a little weak...

I'm breathing heavily, and it seems that losing weight is urgent...

Luo Zhi'er took out the wild eggs from the basket on his back, found larger leaves and wrapped them one by one, buried them in the fire, and burned them...

Throw in the sweet potatoes too…

While waiting for the food, she walked around and observed.

She had just discovered that there were some acorns on these branches.

Some can be reached with just a pull.

So he pulled down the branches and started picking them, and Miaomiao also came to help...

After picking for a while, I heard a few bangs and bangs in the fire, so I took Miaomiao over and took out all the eggs...

He peeled off a bare wild egg and gave it to Miaomiao, and then peeled one off himself.

The two of them dipped in some salt and started eating.

Drink some water and eat some roasted sweet potatoes, it's still very good...

At least you feel relaxed and happy, no one is watching your every move...

"Mom, these eggs are so delicious, and the snake soup yesterday was also delicious!"

Miao Miao said.

Speaking of this, Luo Zhi'er also reminded, "Miao Miao, please remember to follow me later, be careful of snakes..."

It's summer, and that's when snakes come out...and a bite can be fatal!
"Okay, mother!"

After eating, the two of them took a break and buried the fire. Seeing that there was no problem, they started picking acorns again...

Raising his head and looking at the mottled tree-shaded sky, Luo Zhi'er boldly took the Miao Miao while picking them and walking towards the depths of the jungle towards the top of the mountain. Unknowingly, they walked to a large green bar forest...

The acorns on the branches are large and round, which means some trees grow taller.

But a lot of them fell on the ground. Miaomiao, a girl, was very quick with her hands and feet. She peeled off the leaves and picked them up on the ground...she picked the ones that could be found on the tree.

"Mom, can we eat the fruit we picked up? It's hard..."

"Yes, these acorns can be ground into powder. They have high nutritional value. Mom will make them for you to eat!"

"Great!"

Miaomiao was very happy. She would do whatever her mother did.

The food my mother makes is indeed delicious and novel. Why didn’t I make it for her before?

The little girl only took a moment to forget about it...

This acorn fruit is rich in protein, starch, and amino acids... its nutritional value is slightly lower than that of rice...

It’s great to wrap your belly around when you’re short of food!

However, people here don’t take them seriously!
Because, during the famine, they tasted something bitter and astringent, making it difficult to swallow...

This is of course an incorrect approach!

When the two were picking acorns, they also found many wild mushrooms in the grass and roots of trees.

Luo Zhi'er taught Miao Miao about fungi, and the two picked up some edible ones.

Red fungus, matsutake, gallinobacteria, green bar fungus, chicken feces yellow...

She knew that summer was when wild plants grew luxuriantly on the mountain...

Not long after walking, we found some acacia trees. There were some wild fungus growing densely on the trees. Because it had just rained, the flowers were quite big...

I walked up to him and sniffed her, but of course she didn't let go...

After a while, there were more than half of the baskets on the back!

It's noon, and the sun is scorching hot. I couldn't feel it when I was walking through the woods just now, but now I'm sweating when I come out...

The two of them spent more than an hour together, and when they saw that they were about to reach the top of the mountain, they found a shady tree to sit down to take a breather, and drank some water to replenish their fluids.

Seeing the large beads of sweat rolling down Miaomiao's face, Luo Zhi'er pulled a thin branch and wove it into a round sunhat for her to wear.

Looking around, she saw a tall cliff not far away.

With curiosity, she walked closer and took a look. Under the cliff, there was a bottomless abyss...

I kicked a small stone down with my foot and didn't hear any sound for a long time...

There are many pine trees growing at the bottom of the cliff, and the black and blue trees look black and blue because they are too far away...

This is part of Daheishan.

Looking up, there seemed to be something fluttering away on the side wall of the cliff.

Luo Zhi'er walked closer and looked around below, and suddenly felt happy.

Haha, it turns out to be it. How rare is this thing to exist in this place?

There are small milky white nests in the cracks of the stone, which are like a silk mesh. They are bird's nests...

It's just that the place where the nest is made is too hidden and dangerous, and you can't see it unless you look carefully. Normally no one would notice it and come to pick it.

This is a good thing, it is good for her body, it is a great tonic, so she quickly put down the backpack.
"Miaomiao, don't run around. Watch the basket on your back. You must stay away from the cliff here. Don't get close. Mother will go up and pick something and come down."

After saying that, he picked up the snakeskin bag, climbed up on the rocks and prepared to pick it...

Seeing the gravel falling under her feet, her scalp was numb. After all, she was too heavy, but as the saying goes, wealth is found in danger, and if you want to make money, you have to take risks...

She wedged her toes into the strong cracks in the rocks and tried to explore the way by stepping hard. She held thick vines and branches in her hands until she finally reached the gap she saw...

Finally I got a piece.

Then, move on to the second piece…

Miaomiao looked frightened below!
"Mom, you must step on it firmly!"

"Haha, don't worry Miaomiao, mother knows, you take care of yourself."

Luo Zhi'er leaned against the cliff, feeling a little dizzy and afraid of heights.

With Miao Miao's heartfelt concern, she also gained great motivation and was no longer afraid...

Search the area carefully for a while until you pick no one left.
