The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 2 Still Paying Taxes
When she woke up from hunger, it was almost dark. Chu Ying ate the cattail stalks, put the cattail roots in the basket from before, and twisted a rope to hang the basket on the beam of the house, a little higher than the ground, so as to avoid moisture get mouldy.

Spreading cattail leaves on the ground can isolate some of the cold air on the ground and make it slightly warmer.Chu Ying didn't know how long she could survive with her small and weak body in this unfamiliar world with nothing, and she didn't know what she would do next.

Chu Ying looked at the sky, which was slightly cold until it was bright, and her body did not move, as if she was dead.A big spider slowly crawled up her face, Chu Ying grabbed it, pinched off its head, stuffed it into her mouth, swallowed it reluctantly, and poked her finger at the cattail root hanging on the beam.

Although I thought of my mother's beggar chicken countless times, I touched my belly that was about to collapse, and I just wanted to slap myself, sleep with your sister, and get up to find something to eat.

Chu Ying took out the rocks she found yesterday, sharpened the sharper ones, took out a wooden root that was more comfortable to hold, held it against the top with a small blade, smashed it down with a stone, and smashed a big stone Put it in the gap, fix both ends with rope, and then tie it a few times, and swing it a few times, it is quite powerful, and another big stone is also made in the same way.

Chu Ying tied the 5 small blades to the place where the handshake was held with a rope.Looking at the blade, I thought that I brought back a small snake yesterday. When I went out, I saw that there were already worms. I wanted to blame myself for losing my strength. I ate some cattail roots, cleaned up and went out to look for food.

When she was a few steps away from home, she heard rustling sounds, saw some gray-white things moving through the grass, Chu Ying picked up a stone and threw it at it.When I ran over, I saw a gray and white rabbit still struggling after being smashed.

Chu Ying grabbed it with her hands, closed her eyes, and twisted the rabbit's neck with all her strength, but the original owner was relatively weak, so it took a lot of effort to kill the rabbit.Seeing that his hands were covered with blood, he hurriedly took the rabbit home and hoisted up a bucket of water to wash it.

The knife cut under the rabbit's skin little by little, and after a while a whole skinned rabbit lay on the cattail leaves.Rabbit skin Chu Ying made a triangle with three wooden sticks, fixed it with a rope, and stretched the rabbit skin.Tear off some of the meat on top.

Chu Ying picked up the two stones next to the pile of stones, thinking that they should be the original flint, but after using it many times, it was useless, and the skinned rabbit waited for no one, so she had to start a fire quickly.

I had no choice but to take a relatively smooth piece of wood, drill a small hole in the wood to make fire, and sprinkle a little bit of toner on the small hole.

After working for a long time and sweating a little, finally some sparks were placed in the dried cattail leaves that were twisted into a small lump, blown with the mouth, thick smoke rose, and the flames burst out all of a sudden. Add firewood.

Chu Ying wiped her face with her clothes, and felt that she was so useless that she couldn’t even use a flint. She was really embarrassing to a special soldier. The principle of sparks produced by the friction between the flint and the magnesium rod was similar, and it was indeed a little tricky to use it for the first time. , but you should be more proficient in using it a few times in the future.

Chu Ying inserted wood with branches on both sides of the fire, and skewered rabbit meat was placed in the middle. Although it was a small rabbit, the meat was still considerable.

As the tongue of fire licked the rabbit, the meat gradually became darker and squeaked with oil. The aroma filled the whole room, and Chu Ying couldn't help laughing.

"Little rabbit, you really gave up your life for righteousness. This kind of fearless spirit is commendable. Don't worry, I will cherish every inch of your flesh."

After the roast was finished, Chu Ying devoured it. After a while, there were only bones left. Chu Ying licked and licked the bones, still reminiscing about the delicious rabbit meat just now.

Chu Ying licked the oil from the corner of her mouth clean, looked at the sky at the door, and felt that life was actually quite easy.But when Chu Ying didn't hunt a single rabbit all afternoon, she felt that God was too weak.

Several times, the rabbit was almost caught, but the rabbit shrank and fled to the thorny bushes, and it was difficult for me to walk into the thorny field without thick fur, so I could only thump the ground and sigh, glaring at the thorny bushes. The thorny and thorny land will kill you sooner or later.

Helpless, Chu Ying had no choice but to go to the lake to collect cattails. At least cattails can be obtained with hard work. It seems that the rabbit in the morning is really a blind cat and a dead mouse.

When he was about to get home, he ran into Brother Wang who had come back from chopping firewood, and the two walked together. "Chu Ying, do you eat this every day?"

"Yeah, it's not bad, it's just that the sex is cool, so you can't eat too much." Chu Ying saw that Brother Wang was dressed neatly, and his house was a second-in-law's yard. If he gets married, forget it.

"Yeah." Chu Ying saw that Brother Wang continued to walk, thinking of her dirty thoughts just now, it was really shameful, as a modern person, how could she use this method to get along?If the squad leader found out about this, it would be 10 kilometers away.

As soon as Chu Ying and Brother Wang arrived at Wang's house, a ferocious woman rushed over with a kitchen knife in her left hand and cursed in her mouth.

"Damn, tell you not to talk to this plague god, you are not obedient, are you? Her mother went to the Xianling Temple to climb the mountain to pray for her, and she came back with her life, but she still wanted to die. How can her mother bear it? Come with me "Brother Wang stepped forward to stop his agitated mother, and signaled Chu Ying to leave quickly.

Chu Ying touched the scabbed scar on her forehead, and seemed to understand something. The original owner's mother loved the original owner so much, and she needed to live a good life.Even if you have no money, no food and only a dilapidated house, you still have to work hard to live, because this body is not completely yours. Of course, you can kill yourself with a ruthless heart, but the hope of the original owner's mother for the original owner will also dissipate, let alone even if you It may be difficult to return to the previous world after death.

When Chu Ying returned home, she pushed aside the cattail fringes, took out the floc inside and put them on her coat. The cattails can be said to be full of treasures. They can be ground into powder in summer, and can be used as a good kind of fire in winter and autumn.Both stems and roots are good carbohydrates.

But the amount collected at one time is too small, and I don’t have a big container to hold it. Tomorrow, I can use reeds to make a few baskets by the lake and carry them on my shoulders. It will be much better, and I can bring more cattails.

After all the cattails are half-coated, we may be able to survive the winter by collecting more. I don’t know whether it is the south or the north, and how cold the winter will be.

Chu Ying picked up the stone ax and was going to look at the bushes, firstly to chop some firewood, and secondly to open up a road to find the rabbit's old nest.But some thorns still scratched Chu Ying's arm.Chu Ying was tied with a straw rope and dragged back directly, and she didn't know how many holes her hands would be bruised by holding her.

On the way, Chu Ying kept paying attention to these weeds. Since Big Brother Wang said that these are her own wasteland, the grass is also counted, and maybe it can be sold to make food for livestock.

And I don't know if there will be any rubbish in the city to pick up. Thinking of this, Chu Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In the next two days by the lake, Chu Ying processed the cattails and stems and put them in a basket made of reed poles. Although it was a bit rough, it could hold a lot of things. It is also much easier to start a fire.

In the lake, Chu Ying also put a few fishing traps made of reeds, and used earthworms dug in the soil as bait, hoping that some stupid fish would burrow into them, and it was already dark when they got home.

After lighting the fire, Chu Ying continued to peel the cattail velvet. The weather gradually became colder. Even if she wore 3 pieces of clothes, she still felt a little chilly when she went out in the morning.

Have to buy some cloth and make a plush one, or make two of them together.But the needlework is still a problem, it is really seven things to open the door - firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, Chu Ying, who is still on the food and clothing line, just wants to eat.
