Fertile land

Chapter 73

Although the bear meat was lost, she still had to go to Yumanlou to deliver it tomorrow.

Luo Zhi'er went into the house and woke Miaomiao up, put her in long pants, long sleeves and long socks, and mended the holes in yesterday's shoes.

Tightly covered.

I brought the wind oil essence I bought at the drug store last time and smeared it all over my body. The marks on my face that Zhou had made had become cocoons, and I applied some ointment to treat the wounds.

Wear a piece of cloth for your neck, a belt for your leggings and a waistband, a hat for farm work...

Bringing more water and a backpack made of the skin that Li Sanmao had made so smooth while killing wild animals, the couple went back to the mountain.

Li Sanmao will first go to Dahei Mountain to check the condition of the condoms, and then he will go to the fields to help when he comes back!
They were not going in the same direction, so I worriedly said a few words while walking.

When she went out, Mrs. Zhou was still cursing and saw them carrying baskets on their backs: "Those who eat dry rice have fat hooves, their bear meat has been stolen, and they still have the heart to play uphill!"

"You're an old woman, you're going to have to scold me like this all day long if you lose me?"

Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips.

"Is it fun to go uphill? You and I will go to the fields to play every day from today on!"

"His father, how can it be the same!"

"Humph!"

"Mother, why are you scolding me so early in the morning? As soon as you hear grandma's voice, Miaomiao is in a bad mood!"

"If Miaomiao doesn't like to hear it, then don't listen, just think of it as a gust of wind!"

"Oh!"

Luo Zhi'er also completely ignored the annoying sounds behind her ears, especially the fact that she hit Miaomiao, she felt uncomfortable thinking about it!

At this time, the gastrodia is bright.

They climbed up from the back mountain, but did not take the same path as yesterday.

Climbed up the other slope from the side. The ones I just picked up yesterday would not grow again so quickly.

This road is more difficult to walk than the one yesterday. After all, there are fewer people walking on it, it is remote, and it is covered with thatch, thorns, and vines. It needs to be chopped with a knife.

Miaomiao put on a sun hat, this girl got a little tan from the sun yesterday!
There aren't many fungi to pick up from this side road, maybe it's on the shady side with less sunshine.

When she reached the top of the mountain and the sun rose in the east, she drank some water, took a breather, and looked in the direction of Luojiacun. She had not been able to go there yesterday, so she decided to go there.

Destination: Lee Locust Valley, direction, but there were a lot of leeches in that place. Fortunately, she had made adequate preparations...

I continued to climb along the road at the top of the mountain and picked up a few matsutake mushrooms on the roadside and two clusters of gallinopsis mushrooms under a wild tea tree.

Seeing that there were two blown-out August blows on a vine that had opened a small opening, Luo Zhi'er hooked them off with a sickle, broke them open, and ate them one by one with Miaomiao!

This was the reason why she didn't leave Miaomiao at home. It was better to eat something wild in the mountains than at home.

"Hey, mother, look, what kind of bird is that long red tail on the tree over there?"

Miaomiao was extremely satisfied with the August fried rice in her mouth!
"That's it, Golden Pheasant."

"Oh!"

Before he finished speaking, his eyes lit up. He saw a Gallicia gallinosa not far away and hurriedly picked it up.

Miaomiao used a stick to pick up a piece of white, dry leather-like thing and threw it in front of her eyes.
"Mother, what is this?"

Luo Zhi'er was startled,
"Miao Miao, throw it down quickly, it's the skin of a snake!"

"Oh!"

She was a little worried, why is this snake skin so big?
She is not afraid of catching snakes, but she is afraid of accidentally stepping on them and biting someone. There are skins on the road. Are there many snakes nearby?
I found a path and walked down quickly...

I pried open the branches, beat them with sticks, and deliberately made some noise from a distance. The little animals, snakes, etc., would be so scared that they would run away...

Sure enough, a little squirrel jumped up because of her fright, and ran away immediately. Just as he lowered his head to pick up a few chicken droppings, Miao Miao tugged at the hem of her clothes again, and said timidly,

"Mom, look, what's in the wild bamboo forest over there?" Luo Zhi'er turned around and took a look in the direction she pointed...

The bamboo in the wild bamboo forest was split open by something, and the bamboo branches swayed and quickly fell to both sides...

This wild bamboo is very thin, short, and grows densely. How can something grow so fast and still separate?

Luo Zhi'er's intuition was that it was a snake, and it was a very thick snake. She saw the color of its tail, "Miao Miao, follow mother, don't be afraid!"

The sun is shining at noon, this is the time when snakes appear...

"Oh!"

The two women carefully descended halfway up the mountain.

After walking through the woods, I walked through countless winding mountain trails, passing by the deep white cliffs with difficulty.

Under her protection, she and Miaomiao finally arrived near Leechugou in the afternoon.

I also picked up about ten kilograms of gallinopsis fungi in my backpack.

Luo Zhi'er put down the backpack, applied Fengyou essence to Miao Miao and herself again, including the face, hands and feet, and took out the animal fur gown and cloth she prepared in the morning...

Clothes, wrap yourself tightly.

He tied his calves and waist tightly with cloth belts, and then walked forward...

Not far away, you can see small, toothpick-like creatures on the low leaves of the grass, soft and slippery blood-sucking locusts.

Some will also change color, changing their own colors with the different colors of the vegetation.

"Mom, can this insect fly?"

Miaomiao opened her eyes wide, frightened by this terrible creature.

Luo Zhi'er had a heavy expression on her face. This thing was more serious than she thought. There were actually flying locusts.

She remembered that there was a rumor about Lichuogou...

I didn't pay attention before.

A white horse walking out of the leech ditch can turn into a blood horse, and a dog walking out of it will soon bleed to the ground and die, covered in skeletons.

If a pedestrian faints, he will be sucked out of blood by the leech and die in a short time...

After taking a closer look at the situation nearby, this place is actually surrounded by mountains, with a wasteland below, like a cornucopia.

She couldn't understand why this thing grew in this place.
If you go further and go down, you can see it in the rocks, on the branches, and in the grass.

And it’s getting bigger and bigger, and it’s so greasy and scary...

She could predict it, in the creek below, in the mud, and on the grass.

Miaomiao was so frightened that she asked, "Mom, what kind of insect is this? Miaomiao is so scared. Can it eat people?"

"It's called a locust or a leech. It sucks blood. Miaomiao, please be careful not to let her get close to your body."

Luo Zhi'er held Miao Miao in her arms and continued walking forward. This was her territory. She had to come to see the situation and make plans for the future.

Although this place is in the direction of Luojia Village, it is still far away from Luojia Village because there are several mountains in the middle.

Along the way, we saw towering cliffs. We had to go over mountains and ridges and cross the cliffs. The Lichuogou was nestled in the middle. These cliffs acted as an isolation.

Coupled with the rumors about Lee Locust Valley, no one in their village is willing to come often...

Except for people like old man Luo who dug mountains and drove them away, usually no one would come.

Luo Zhi'er looked at the situation here. This entire wasteland and the mountains were 33 acres. From a high place, you could see the whole thing at a glance.

I began to think that in addition to the existence of leech, this place also has inconvenient transportation. In this case, the dealer has no way to transport the goods. It is really tiring to build roads.

It’s no wonder that in rural areas where farmland is in short supply, a large piece of wasteland like Leechugou is left empty. This is really labor-intensive.
