Chapter 85 Map
Ning Xiyue's eyes fell on the last sign-in item, the mysterious box.
The surface of the box is worn out, and the paint on the box has fallen off a bit. It looks a bit old, but I wonder if the things inside also look old.
When the box was opened, there was a roll of yellowed paper inside, or rather a detailed map of the distribution of materials inside Daqishan, and a notebook recording the meaning of each location icon on the map as additional explanation.
The map is set against the backdrop of hunters who make a living by hunting.
A hunter named Aniu supported himself and his family by hunting in the Daqi Mountains.
Daqishan is the full name of the towering mountain behind the Youth League Institute and four smaller mountains. All the mountains in this area are called Daqishan.
This map is the one he has been keeping since he started hunting.
The map marked some of the places he encountered and knew on Mount Daqi that he thought were important to him. Some of the marked items were large, and some were small.
There are places that you must never step into, the territory of the big beast - the tiger, which is clearly marked by Aniu, and the big beast eats people.
He also discovered some nests of small animals that could be hunted, as well as abandoned caves in the mountains where one could temporarily stay.
Of course, the most common things in the mountains are things that grow naturally.
This is also the part that Ning Xiyue is most interested in.
Of course, there is also a map, which marks which fruit trees grow in which area. The notebook also records the time and season of maturity, as well as the variety and taste of the fruit trees.
In addition to fruit trees, there are also mushroom growing areas. The places where and what kind of mushrooms grow are recorded in the notebook and synchronized to the map.
Finally, there are secret growing places for medicinal herbs. It is marked where Aniu found ginseng, where he found Schisandra chinensis, where he found Saposhnikovia divaricata, where he found Asarum, etc. The large-scale growing places of some common medicinal herbs are also marked.
Ning Xiyue's eyes lit up as she watched. There were so many wild medicinal herbs growing vigorously, and they would continue to grow every year.
There are also wild fruits and various mountain products which are also good. With the map of nature's treasure house in hand, she can visit the entire Daqi Mountain as easily as visiting her own back garden, and she can find whatever she wants without any difficulty.
Ning Xiyue looked at the map and the notebook with supplementary instructions and was very satisfied.
You must go into the mountain when you have time. It is such a natural treasure trove, how can you do justice to this map if you don't take some of its treasures.
Ning Xiyue put away the map and planned her time.
It's not that busy after the autumn harvest, and the supplies on the mountain are abundant, so she has to take advantage of this period to go around. If she doesn't go, the other members of the team will.
"Host, when do you plan to go for a walk?"
"Let's go tomorrow. Don't we still have two days off? Get up early tomorrow morning and head into the mountains. We'll get as much as we can in one day. After we check the situation, we can ask my second brother to go with us. Together, we can collect the bounties of nature."
It just so happened that after the autumn harvest, the team gave them three days off to relieve the fatigue of the harvest. She believed that the members of the team were all people who could not sit still, and there must be a lot of people going up the mountain during these days.
Live off the mountain. Everyone knows that autumn is the harvest season, and the things harvested in the mountains are the same. In the era of material shortage, as soon as the holiday came, everyone would go to the mountains to find something to take home and store, so that they could have some dry goods from the mountains to eat when there was a shortage of food next year.
While Ning Xiyue was chatting with Tongzi, she stood up to clean up the dishes and clean the kitchen.
Finally, I poured Xiao Hui's lunch into its bowl and watched it finish eating before opening the kitchen door.
Liu Yao just happened to come around from the Youth Educator's House in front and shouted, "Xiyue, you came out at the right time. Someone is looking for you outside the Youth Educator's House. He said it's your second brother."
"Okay, thank you."
Ning Xiyue called Xiao Hui, locked the kitchen door, and hurried to the Youth League compound in front.
Just when I was thinking about my second brother, he came, even faster than Cao Cao.
Xiao Hui smelled a familiar scent and ran faster than Ning Xiyue. When Ning Xiyue arrived, Xiao Hui had already danced around her second brother several times.
"Second brother."
"Sister, I'm here to see you." Ning Qingyuan smiled happily and took off the basket on his back: "Look, I bought this at the supply and marketing cooperative today. Everything in here is for you. Put it away."
Ning Xiyue saw that everyone in the Youth League House was paying attention to them curiously. Not wanting to be treated like a monkey, she took her brother to the back of the Youth League House.
"Brother, let's go to my small kitchen and talk. I built a kitchen myself. It's very convenient."
"OK."
After walking to the back, Ning Qingyuan was very happy to see Ning Xiyue’s small kitchen, and felt relieved to see the complete furniture in the house.
All these fully demonstrate that my sister is living well in the Youth League Home.
Ning Qingyuan praised Ning Xiyue generously:
"Sister, you are really smart and capable. You can cook on your own without suffering any loss, eat whatever you want, and have your own small space to be alone. You also have fewer conflicts with the educated youth. I feel relieved when you are like this, and mom and dad don't have to worry about you suffering any loss. It's great."
Ning Xiyue was not a modest person either. She accepted all the compliments and said proudly with her head held high: "Of course, I went to the countryside with the love of my family. But if I do anything better, I will not live up to their love."
"That's good. If you're doing well, my parents, my elder brother and I will feel relieved." Ning Qingyuan nodded, and then changed the subject, "By the way, where's Ning Xiaoxiao? Why didn't I see her? I came here today to vent my anger for you."
"Don't worry about her. She's in the police station and won't be released for another two days."
Ning Xiyue told her second brother the basic situation of that night.
Ning Qingyuan snorted coldly: "She is really lucky."
"Let's not talk about her and waste our good mood."
Ning Xiyue took out a few pieces of wild boar meat from the cabinet under the cupboard.
"Brother, this is the wild boar meat I found that day. You can take a few pieces back to eat. I can't finish it all. This is all bacon that I learned to make from the aunties in the team. I also sent some to my eldest brother and my parents. You can take some back to taste my cooking skills."
"You made it yourself, so I want to try it."
Ning Qingyuan originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing what Ning Xiyue said, how could he refuse? What's more, his brother had already eaten it, and he couldn't give his eldest brother the opportunity to show off. He had also eaten it, and it was handed to him by his sister personally.
Ning Xiyue also took half of the pastries brought by her second brother.
The two siblings exchanged supplies properly.
"Second brother, are you guys going to take two days off too?"
Ning Qingyuan nodded and said what he was thinking: "Yes, I also want to find you to go to the mountains to find something. Every year after the autumn harvest, some wild fruits are ripe in the mountains. I know some hidden places. Let's go together tomorrow morning."
Ning Xiyue smiled brightly and patted her thigh: "If we don't say we are siblings, I was just planning to look for you and invite you to the mountain. Now, let's go directly tomorrow morning."
