happy apocalypse

Chapter 23
The next day we decided to go into the mountains.

Although we have been here for several days, we only really entered the mountain today.

Walking on the path into the mountain, the roadside is covered with various shrubs, and there are also some tall pine and fir trees.On the left is a gurgling clear mountain stream.There are many calamus growing beside the mountain stream, with small blue flowers, elegant and fresh.

We walked slowly to the depths of the mountain, and the trees in our eyes became taller and thicker.I'm surrounded by trees and I feel like I'm surrounded by greenery.

My uncle took us to the pine forest of our house. The [-]-acre pine forest is a big one, and it took a long time to walk from one end to the other.After recognizing the scope of our pine forest, we drove our little uncle away.

Looking at the pine forest that now belongs to our family, I don't know how to describe the feeling in my heart.Every pine tree is tall and straight. Standing under the tree, I have to look up to see the crown of the tree. My visual inspection is at least 30 to [-] meters.A gust of wind blows, the leaves sway with the wind, arousing waves of pines, beautiful, really beautiful.

Even here, I feel a sense of tranquility away from the world.This pine forest is like a holy and pure land beyond the mortal world. Here, I forget the apocalypse, and remove all the strong camouflage. It filters away all the anxiety and annoyance accumulated in my body for a long time, and makes every strand of my spirit and every cell All are full of vitality.

I took Jiang Zhi's hand and ran from this pine tree to that pine tree, admiring the beautiful scenery to my heart's content.Jiang Zhi let me run in the pine forest, laughing happily.

After a while I awoke from the shock of the pine forest.Lying on the thick pine needles on the ground with Jiang Zhi, looking at the sky blocked by the tree crown, sighing.

"I think I'm just a layman, and I can't learn to be noble."

"What's wrong."

"I was touched by this pine forest for a while, and I automatically returned to reality. Now when I see the pine tree, my thought is, how many pine cones can this tree grow, is it enough for my son to eat; if all the branches are returned to the space Is it enough for us to survive the cold winter; even the pine needles on the ground I want to take them away, thinking that it will be the end of the world, everything is a resource, so we can’t waste it. You say I’m vulgar.” I I grabbed a handful of pine needles on the ground, gathered them on my head, let go, and let them fall onto my clothes.

"I don't know if it's vulgar or not, but I like it, because I just thought about it." Jiang Zhi also imitated me and sprinkled a handful of pine needles on his body.

"In this case, let's start." I sat up suddenly and regained my enthusiasm.

We take out the tools from the space and divide the labor and cooperate.I picked out larger pine branches from a pine forest and piled them together. Jiang Zhi used a rake to hug the pine needles, and I put them in sacks.

We didn't even finish an acre all morning, but we found a good thing under a pine tree.Pine mushrooms, commonly known as "sticky dumplings", are orange-yellow, and their meat is thick. It is especially delicious when stewed with chicken.

It was noon, we decided not to go back, it was a waste of time going back and forth.But if you stay in the mountains, you have to eat at noon. The mountains here are beautiful, and the water is even more beautiful. It has the artistic conception of martial arts novels. I decided to imitate the heroes of ancient times. I haven't made it yet and decided to give it a try.

Step [-]: We went back to the space first, Jiang Zhi went to the grass to catch a big rooster, and killed it outside the space. (I think killing chickens pollutes the space environment) I am in charge of going to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water to pluck the chickens.

Step [-]: Jiang Zhi put the slaughtered chicken into boiling hot water by the stream outside to remove feathers, viscera and wash. (Viscera can’t be wasted either. I gave it to the little dog in the space. Oh, it’s a big dog now, and it doesn’t seem to know me very well. Not much, because Jiang Zhi became obsessed with the brook when he was cultivating, and it is true that dual cultivation in the brook is more effective. So he only comes here when it is time to feed. It stands to reason that they should be grateful to us, but they are swaying at me. The complexion, I really only feed unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. I decided to put them in the grassland, and the future food will be grass. In fact, dog meat is also quite delicious, I can think about it.)
Step [-]: I found some salt in the space, and pulled some onions, ginger and garlic from the ground.When I was looking for salt again, I found a good thing-bbq sauce. I think it will be delicious if the chicken is brushed with this sauce.

Step [-]: Jiang Zhi washed the freshly picked pine mushrooms in the creek, tore them apart and put them in the chicken belly together with green onion, ginger and garlic.Salt and sauce rubbed over the chicken.

Step [-]: Jiang Zhi went to the puddle in the space and picked a lotus leaf (the lotus has been harvested several times in the space), wrapped the chicken in the lotus leaf, pulled a grass by the stream, and tied the lotus leaf .

Step [-]: Jiang Zhi dug a small pit by the stream and buried the chicken in it. We lit a small fire above it, and put a small pot on it to cook vegetable porridge. (It is not allowed to light the fire on the mountain, but we lit it under special circumstances.)
After lighting the fire for a while, I became a little impatient, so I left the task of watching the fire to Jiang Zhi, and wandered around by myself.

Jiang Zhi worried about me, told me not to run around, and asked me not to go out of his sight.

I'm angry that I'm an adult and can take care of myself.

Jiang Zhi said: "This is in the mountains, don't forget, yesterday we just entered the bamboo forest and ran into snakes, so we may not encounter anything here." Jiang Zhi's intention was to scare me, but I heard When he mentioned yesterday's snake, his eyes lit up.

"Are there any snakes here too? Let's catch a few and bring them home." Thinking of the smell of the snake yesterday, I wanted to drool.

"You thought it was Chinese cabbage, you can have it if you want it." Jiang Zhi became angry with embarrassment. He wanted to scare me from running around, but he miscalculated my desire for delicious food.

"I know, I won't run around!"

I walked along the stream, the water was so clear and cool.I pawed at the stones under the creek, trying to find some good-looking ones to take back as gifts.

I was pulling, and my eyes casually glanced at a tuft of grass by the stream.Then I came back and pulled the stones for a long time, only to realize in my mind that I seemed to see a familiar thing just now.

I hurriedly raised my head again, looked at the grass, and saw a green grass that looked very similar to the cool grass I had seen in the alchemy book.

The whole grass has only two sword-shaped leaves, and a flower stem stands upright in the middle of the leaves, with 4 small pink flowers hanging on it, which look like small bells.Uncertain, I leaned forward and smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and there was no smell like the one described in the book.

I think this should be cool grass.But why is there cool grass here?

I didn't know what to do, so I called Jiang Zhi over. Jiang Zhi said that since I saw it, it was fate. Let's transplant it into the space first. When we have time, we will go to the study to find out. What is the cool grass? effect.I believe that the plants recorded in the space study should have some special functions.

So we transplanted this cool grass to the side of the puddle.

Soon the beggar chicken we made was cooked.We are all doing it for the first time, and we don't know if it is right.

After digging out the hot lotus leaf bag, I anxiously wanted to open the straw rope.Jiang Zhi grabbed me and said, "What's the hurry, it can't fly, wait until it's cool before opening it."

I waited for a while, and Jiang Zhicai allowed me to start.

The chicken in this space is still very fat, no matter what, it must weigh 4 or 5 catties, and Jiang Zhi and I finished eating it.The taste is average, not as good as I imagined, but it is also the result of my own labor, and whoever supports it if I don’t support it.

After we finished eating the beggar chicken, we carefully inspected the extinguished fire before leaving the creek. I was worried and asked Jiang Zhi to pour a bucket of water on it. We must not bring danger to the forest. To eliminate all security risks.

In the afternoon we continued to collect pine branches and pine needles, and we were busy until 5 o'clock in the afternoon before going down the mountain.It's not that we are tired, it's that my aunt is worried that we will go back too late.

When we returned to my aunt's house, it was already dusk and desolate. My aunt had already prepared the meal and waited for us to go back.

I asked my aunt whether she was worried that we hadn’t come back in the mountains for so long. My aunt said not to worry. The pine forest where we live is often visited by the villagers. There are no wild animals there at all, and there are very few small animals such as squirrels or pheasants. see.It's safe there.If you want to be in danger, you have to go deep into the mountains.

I think this man's deterrent power is too great, and the animals are hiding in the mountains.In fact, I wanted to catch two roe deer and deer when I came here. I heard that the meat is delicious, but it seems hopeless.

In the next few days, Jiang Zhi and I ran into the mountains every day, and we came back later every day. My aunt didn't say anything, but emphasized that we must not spend the night on the mountains.

During the few days we were on the mountain, we collected a lot of pine branches and pine needles.Then I sneaked a little deeper into the mountain, and picked up a lot of branches.I think if you make charcoal from these things, it will last a long time.

Jiang Zhi also found a place where the rotten leaves were thicker. After digging for a day, he put all the soil into a storage bag.I asked him what he wanted the soil for, but he didn't tell me, just said that he would know later.Cut, who cares, what I have is black soil, which is not much better than this.In the end we filled another 100 barrels of stream water at the mountain stream.

After going to the mountains for a few days and staying at my aunt's house for a long time, it was time for us to go home.

The author says:

I am very happy today, and finally saw that a book friend (Blooming Moment) in the book review area wrote a single chapter review for me.Even if it's just pointing out my mistakes, I'd be very grateful.real!Since I started writing this book, I have experienced the common feelings of rookie authors on the Internet.Novels written by novice authors focus on too few people.Maybe many book lovers are like me before, they just read books and never write reviews.

I am still very puzzled, my novel hits should be considered good (I think), but why there is no recommendation, no collection.Brothers and sisters, are you really not good-looking, fellow book lovers?Isn't it good looking?Does it look good?see?

I look at my recommendations and favorites one by one every day, and I am about to cry.
