Chapter 379 Since it's here, how can I miss it?
Chen Xiuyu followed Lu Lu silently, and both of them walked very slowly.
Along the way, I saw many dilapidated thatched houses built with straw. These were the places where the educated youths lived at that time. The houses were empty and no one took care of them. Some of the grass walls had collapsed. , exposing the wooden poles inside which the rammed straw plays the role of tension and frame.
The surrounding land is full of plants, mostly corn, melon and vegetables.
"The land in the Great Wilderness is vast and sparsely populated, surrounded by fertile wasteland waiting to be developed and utilized. The right time and place created a good opportunity for us to plant private plots at that time. Therefore, the educated youths and workers showed their talents and competed to farm. There are a lot of corn, potatoes, radishes, melons and other things.
In autumn, every family has a very good harvest. The golden corn is hung all over the eaves, and the thatched houses are decorated with brilliance and gold.
Some people even plant rows of tree stumps like electric poles in front of the door, nail big iron nails on three sides at about shoulder height, and then tie the corn with soft leaves pair by pair, and move to the iron from three directions. It can be hung on nails and can be hung more than two meters high.
As a result, rows of golden pillars full of corn stood in great numbers, forming a beautiful landscape, which is really beautiful. "
Lu Lu looked at the dilapidated houses along the way, and talked about the beautiful scenes full of life in his memory while walking.
"You also planted before?" Chen Xiuyu asked with her big eyes blinking.
"Planting, but it was only the first two years of planting. Later, after I met Mr. Zhao in the sideline team, I didn't take care of it much. I simply planted some melons that didn't need much care. As for the others, After I learned some hunting skills, I went into the mountains to set traps, or borrowed a gun from Raymond, went hunting in the wilderness, and exchanged meat with them.”
Lu Lu smiled and said: "Compared to vegetables, it is more difficult for everyone to eat meat. We all know that there are many wild animals in the wilderness, but it is not an easy task to catch them. We are very happy to exchange meat with them for vegetables. "
"It's obviously lazy!"
Chen Xiuyu curled her lips and easily grasped Lu Lu's pulse: "Do you like noodles?"
Chen Xiuyu doesn't think it's as simple as not to grow anything else, but to grow melons.
"alright!"
Lu Lu didn't expect that Chen Xiuyu would guess this.
"Then let's plant some next year!" Chen Xiuyu thought about it and made a decision.
In Lu Lu's opinion, the noodles of the Great Northern Wilderness are unique, round, dark blue, the size of a football or a coconut, heavy, and very porcelain-like.
This thing, chopped into pieces, can be used for porridge or steamed. It is sweet and noodle-like. It is better than sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes. It can be called a delicacy.
But the strange thing is, if you leave the Great Wilderness, you can hardly see them in other places.
Soon, Lu Lu arrived at the thatched hut where he lived before.
The house is still in good condition, but it has not been taken care of for a long time, the door panels are a little crooked, the thatch on the roof has not been replaced for a long time, and it is already a little rotten, and even new weeds have grown in some places, swaying in the wind.
He pushed them away and took a look. The ground inside was damp, and there were even inedible mushrooms growing in the corners.
The earthen kang, earthen stove and wooden shelves for placing things are still there.
It's just that the tables and benches have been removed, and it looks empty.
Also, the mats on the kang that had been roughly woven with ulagrass had disappeared.
Most of these things are not lacking in the homes of other workers, and they should be picked up by migrant workers on the farm.
Most of these migrant workers were housed in these vacant thatched huts, and Lu Lu saw several people living in them along the way.
After tying the horses to the stakes next to the house behind the house, Lu Lu began to take care of it: "We'll just live here for a few days."
Chen Xiuyu also came over to help clean up.
The two of them worked hard for more than half an hour, and the room seemed much more comfortable.
"You get some firewood to put the stove together, the humidity in the room is a little heavy, you have to cook it well! The cafeteria of the sideline team should have dinner at this time, I'll go get some and come back to eat together, after the meal, let's rest for a while, I'll take you to herd horses and hunt roe deer."
"it is good!"
Many people in the sideline team were transferred to help collect food, but after all, there were still so many miscellaneous things to do in the sideline team, and half of the staff was left, so the cafeteria still had to operate.
Lu Lu first went to the small shop of the sideline team, bought two large enamel jars and two spoons, washed them with well water, and went to the cafeteria.
It was time for dinner to be served inside, but the chef did not change. He was a little surprised when he saw Lu Lu suddenly. Lu Lu originally wanted to spend money on food, but was blocked by the master directly. I ordered some food, picked good dishes, and filled two big jars to the brim.
After Lu Lu thanked him gratefully, he left with his mug in hand.
The main purpose is to visit Lei Meng. Although there are still many familiar people here, Lu Lu doesn't want to disturb them and cause them unnecessary trouble.
He just considered that it was necessary for him to get some wild game and send it to the cafeteria.
Every time Zhao Tuanqing came to the sideline team, he would do this. He didn't want to take advantage of others. Anyway, now he is no longer from the farm, but just an outsider.
When she returned to the thatched hut, Chen Xiuyu had already lit the stove, borrowed a sickle from someone else, cut a bundle of Ula grass, and spread it on the kang.
The pipeline of the stove fire is connected to the kang, and the temperature rises, and the curling steam can be seen above.
Seeing Lu Lu came back, she rushed out to greet her.
"I'm lucky today, there are braised pork, fried potatoes and mushrooms!"
Lu Lu handed her a rice bowl, and the couple squatted in front of the thatched hut, eating with gusto.
The ingredients in the canteen are much more than Lu Lu's. The chefs in the canteen are also very good at cooking, and the taste is not worse than Lu Lu's cooking at home. Of course, there is no comparison in oil and water.
With a bowl full of food, even Chen Xiuyu was overwhelmed, let alone Lu Lu.
It was rare for Lu Lu to see that Chen Xiuyu, who got up to wash the rice bowl after eating a good meal, rubbed her stomach again, feeling a little full from eating.
The two rested for more than half an hour. Lu Lu led Chen Xiuyu, led the horse, carried a hunting bag, took Yuanbao and them, and walked towards the edge of the forest.
Backed by Wanda Mountain, this place is in front of a large wetland.
The fertile black land is fragrant, and the Wanda Mountains stretching for thousands of miles are majestic and magnificent.
On one side is the vast primeval forest of Linhai, which is vast and vast.
On one side is the natural wetland that gathers the aura of heaven and earth and the boundless ten thousand mu fertile land, during which birds soar and chirp.
Chen Xiuyu was amazed at the abundant mountain and wild products such as mushrooms, Hericium erinaceus, pine nuts, Schisandra chinensis, and mountain grapes that can be seen everywhere in the forest.I was also surprised by the heavy ears of rice, the increasingly golden corn, the fiery red sorghum and the herds of cattle and sheep inside.
"It's only now that I really know that in our mountain... Sigh!"
Along the way, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear with what she saw.
"What happened in our mountain?" Lu Lu asked with a smile.
"Brother Lu, why do you think there is such a beautiful place in this world? I have the feeling that I don't want to go back after I come here." Chen Xiuyu said with a smile: "You said you went back to the Great Wilderness, why didn't you choose to come here? A more familiar place? This place is much better than Xiushantun."
"It's not because of you!"
Lu Lu really wanted to say such a sentence, but when the words came to his mouth, they became: "If I don't go to Xiushantun, how will I meet you? For me, each has its own advantages. I just want to change my life. It’s just a law. If I go back to the farm, I guess I can only do my job every day and live on 38 yuan a month, but when I go to the mountains, it will be a different wonderful life, the key is freedom.”
Lu Lv stepped forward to lead the way, and quickly chose a meadow for them to graze, while he himself led Yuan Bao and Chen Xiuyu into the mountains.
After living here for eight years, Lu Lu also went to the mountains to hunt and play tricks.He didn't know the specific situation in the depths of Wanda Mountain, but he knew very well what was around the sideline team.
Leading Chen Xiuyu into the mountain, Lu Lu quickly found the traces left by the Paoqun passing by, and it didn't take long before Yuanbao's fierce sound came.
Looking in the direction directed by Yuan Bao, Lu Lu quickly found a group of roe deer wandering in the valley.
There are only six robes in this group, and Lu Lu doesn't plan to beat more.
He called Chen Xiuyu, approached them quietly, aimed at one of them, and shot directly.
The gunshot rang out, and the two roe deer fell to the ground.
For the other four, the white hair on their buttocks exploded all of a sudden, instead of running away immediately, they looked towards Lu Lu instead.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Lu fired again and fired another one.
Yuan Bao and the others rushed out immediately, and only then did the remaining three jump and leap in the bushes in the valley in shock, and they were chased far away by Yuan Bao and the others.
It's not winter yet, and in such terrain, hunting dogs can't outrun roe deer at all, but as long as they leave Yuanbao and them for a certain distance, they stop and look back when they feel a little safer, causing Yuanbao and them to keep chasing them.
Lu Lu could only shoot and recall Yuan Bao and the others.
Chen Xiuyu helped pull the fur of the roe deer, and Lu Lu took the hunting knife and quickly peeled it.
After working for about an hour, the skins of the three roe deer were peeled off and fed to the dogs.
A roe deer went into the water, weighing only about [-] kilograms. Lu Lu chopped a wooden stick and carried two. Chen Xiuyu put one in a bag and carried it, and returned to the place where Zhuifeng and the others grazed. It was still early.
The things were placed on the edge of the grass, and the six well-fed dogs didn't bother to move, so they just lay beside them and guarded them. After a few days, they ran a lot of long distances, and it was enough.
Lu Lu lay directly on the grass, basking in the sun, while Chen Xiuyu couldn't stop wandering in the small river beside the grass. Not long after, she ran back quietly: "Brother Lu, there is a section of water emerging from the river below." There's a little thing on the water stump."
"What is it?"
"I can't name it, I haven't seen it before!"
"Go, go and see!"
Lu Lu followed Chen Xiuyu and walked along the river bank for about [-] meters. From a distance, he saw a small thing lying quietly on a tree stump protruding from the river: "Shuigouzi! You are so lucky!" , Just walking around like this, you can see Shuigouzi, the fur and liver are quite valuable."
"Hit?" Chen Xiuyu asked in a low voice.
"It's said to be worth money, so it must be beaten!" Lu Lu said with a smile: "I'll come, if you want to beat this thing, you can beat it on the head, otherwise it will be worthless if the fur is damaged!"
As Lu Lu spoke, he raised his gun, aimed slightly, and pulled the trigger.
The water dog fell into the river in response, and slowly drifted downstream on the gentle river.Followed Yuan Bao and a few puppies who came running over, looked at the water dog who was still twitching on the river, immediately ran to a nearby place, followed Yuan Bao and jumped into the river with a plop, and Yuan Bao, who was the first to swim up, would The water dog took it out.
"After we met Raymond, we will spend the next few days fetching water dogs and green-rooted ferrets in this place!"
Lu Lu didn't forget that this wetland and the wetland on the other side of Jiayin are rich in water dogs and green-rooted ferrets. They are all good fur. Now that we are here, how can we miss it?
