Chapter 491 Search
There are still obstacles and traps outside.
After enclosing the entire perimeter, build wooden houses inside.
The plan is like this, but they have just arrived now, and everything can only be done from scratch.
This place is in the depths of the big forest, and everyone knows that it is a dangerous place, so they immediately start working when they arrive, and no one dares to neglect their efforts.
Otherwise, after grinding and grinding, the one that gets worn off in the end is very likely to be his own life.
Even the women helped clear weeds and carry stones.
As for the food, Mu Qingli took Xiao Ya'er, Xiao Luan and ten women to look for it, and later cooked with another ten women.
Uh, in fact, it is to cook a few pots of hot soup, steam yam and kudzu root, and barbecue in a large clay pot.
Xiaoyaer and Xiaoluan took the big tortoise to hunt, while Mu Qingli led ten women to find food such as yams and wild vegetables.
There are a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, even in this season, you can still find a lot.
All kinds of wild fruits are also ripe in this season, and once picked, there will be a big basket and two big baskets.
There are also a lot of yams and so on, but they are a bit sporadic, which makes Mu Qingli a little impatient.
Fortunately, the people in the village have been accustomed to a meat-based life for generations, as long as there is barbecue and a few fruits, it will be fine.
Not everyone is like Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen, who feel uncomfortable without eating rice or pasta for two days.
At first, everyone murmured to themselves, is it really okay for such a few people to be responsible for the food of hundreds of people? Are you going to starve?
Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about hunting, no matter how powerful Mu Qingli is, she is alone! Can you hunt enough to feed hundreds of people?
As a result, Mu Qingli didn't go hunting at all, but let Xiao Ya'er and Xiao Luan go...
Everyone: "..."
Mu Qingli saw the various looks of the crowd, but ignored them.
She wanted to go hunting with Xiao Ya'er and the others, but there was no other way, she had to follow these ten people to protect their safety.
When Xiaoya'er Xiaoluan and the big turtle came back, they saw the prey on the back of the big turtle. Everyone's eyes widened and they were stunned. They were speechless.
The big turtle followed Xiaoya'er and Xiaoluan three times before bringing back all the prey, which was enough for everyone to eat for two days.
More than 600 people worked in full swing, and the speed was extremely fast. In less than three days, the entire land was enclosed. Even the thorns and thorns on the wall were densely inserted.
Everyone was greatly relieved.
This land is circled, which means that safety is guaranteed.
Speaking of staying in the mountains for two or three nights, listening to all kinds of strange, long and short calls at night, everyone was worried.
I'm afraid of being attacked by wolves in case.
The reason why Mo Yunshen recruited so many people at the beginning was because he was looking forward to enclosing the territory as soon as possible.
One more night of delay means more danger. These are all fatal dangers, and they cannot be faked at all.
After the place is circled, all that is left is to cut wood and build houses.
This does not require six hundred people.
After some discussion, Mo Yunshen sent three hundred and twenty people back first, which happened to be a team of guards and twenty women.
The number of people was reduced by half at once, and the pressure of cooking was also reduced a lot.
Seeing that the leftover food was enough for a day or two, Mu Qingli asked Xiao Ya'er and Xiao Luan to escort the women out to pick wild vegetables and search for yams, and went to the distant mountains by herself.
She wants to find out if there are any vast valleys and pastures where large groups of wild animals come and go. If there is such a place, hunting will be much easier in the future, and it will not be as troublesome as it is now.
Besides, there is a big tortoise, even if the place is far away, it doesn't matter.
Mu Qingli's luck is not bad. Today, I just wanted to take a casual stroll to see how lucky I was. Who knew that after climbing a mountain, I really found this vast valley with fertile water and grass, and wild animals swarming in groups. Large herds of bison, wild deer, and wild sheep are grazing leisurely with their tails flicking.
There are also many small animals such as hares, pheasants, and marmots poking their heads in the long grass above the knees.
Mu Qingli couldn't help being overjoyed, now it's all over, this is a natural meat bank!
Seeing that the aquatic plants are plump, the prey is also plump. A wild buffalo weighs one or two thousand catties. If two of them are killed, it will feed more than three hundred people for several days. Wouldn't it be much easier?
After remembering the location, Mu Qingli hunted two wild oxen and two wild sheep, put them on the back of a big turtle, and brought them back.
Originally, she wanted Mo Yunshen to take the big turtle back, so it would be more convenient on the way.
Mo Yunshen refused, saying that they still need to hunt here, and they need the big turtle more than he does.
Mu Qingli thought about it, so she left the big turtle behind.
I took these two bison and two wild sheep back today, and I don’t need to hunt again for at least three days.
These days, everyone ate a lot of wild deer, wild sheep, and other prey. They hadn’t eaten bison yet. In the evening, they roasted tender beef and cooked two large pots of steaming beef soup. It is packed in a large wooden barrel, mixed with wild mushrooms and wild vegetables, not to mention how delicious it is.
Mu Qingli also became interested, and asked Xiao Ya'er to pick a piece of the most tender beef, about seven or eight catties, slice it into thin slices with a knife and marinate, and chop a pheasant into pieces and marinate, and turn on a small stove Make barbecue and eat.
The aroma spread, making the women greedy, and they cut up a lot of beef and roasted it together.
Now that the source of meat has been resolved, Mu Qingli is also relieved. Although there are not many wild vegetables in this season, there are many wild fruits, and there are also many yams and kudzu roots, which are enough to satisfy the hunger.
Mu Qingli gave Xiaoya'er and Xiaoluan the tasks of accompanying the women in picking wild vegetables and looking for yams, and rode around on the big turtle by herself.
Look for tea leaves.
At the same time, look for yams, wild taro and other things.
What she was looking for was not one or two or two clusters of yams or wild taros, but pieces of them.
In this big forest, whether it is yam or other plants, because the resources are too rich, and no one digs them, they grow year after year, and it is easy to develop into pieces, and there are very few single plants. Detached.
Even when the aunts and sisters-in-law went to dig yams near the place where they built their footholds, they always found a piece of yam, just a small piece.
But if you look at a certain place and dig out, there are at least one or two hundred catties, and there are more than four or five hundred catties.
What she was looking for was the kind that occupied at least half a mountain or half a valley, and would cost tens of thousands of catties no matter what.
After wandering around for two days, after she despised countless small pieces, she finally came across a large piece of yam growing in a valley. According to visual estimation, there must be hundreds of acres.
Mu Qingli was so happy that she took eight women to dig the next day.
