From the very beginning, the journey was a day of forced marching. The village chief pinched everyone's bottom line and secretly accelerated the pace again and again.
There were also voices of doubt within the team, saying that the village chief was moving too fast and no one could keep up.
However, the elders at home quickly suppressed it. Now we have to hurry up and store wild vegetables.
The old man thought that by saving time on the road, he could have more time to dig wild vegetables.
When the weather gets cold in the future, wild vegetables can be eaten as food.
It was soon time for the lunch break, and everyone looked for a place to rest as the village chief sounded the gong.
After Yun the butcher parked all the cars at home, he took the three brothers to the mountains to cut grass and collect firewood.
After Yun Yiyi helped Zhang set up the stove, she followed her into the mountains. Xie Zirui also followed behind.
This time, Yun Yiyi wanted to find some water while looking for wild vegetables. Finding water was an urgent matter.
"Dad, you guys mow the grass here, I'll go check out the woods up there."
Butcher Yun straightened up and said, "Yiyi, don't run too far. It's not safe to be alone in the mountains."
"Uncle Yun, how about I go with Yiyi?"
Yun Yiyi waved her hand hurriedly, "Brother Zirui, you can stay here and dig wild vegetables. Bringing you along will slow me down."
Xie Zirui lowered his head embarrassedly.
Yun Yiyi suddenly realized that what she said was a bit inappropriate.
"Brother Zirui, I didn't mean to leave you out. I just wanted to go to the mountains for a walk and come back. I won't go far away, so it's faster and more convenient for me to go alone."
"All right."
"Yiyi, then you should go quickly. Don't play around and don't go deep into the mountains. Oh, and take your iron rod with you."
Yun Yiyi also remembered that she had never used the iron rod since she bought it.
"Dad, I'll get it now." After saying that, Yun Yiyi ran to get the iron rod.
After she hurriedly got the iron rod, she ran up the mountain again.
Butcher Yun looked at Yun Yiyi running away, shook his head, and continued to cut grass.
Yun Yiyi carried the iron stick, walked through the woods and continued into the mountains.
She climbed to the middle of the mountain and found some wild vegetables, but no water.
Yun Yiyi sat on a big rock, looking at the woods not far away, wondering where she could find water in the mountains?
Forget it, Yun Yiyi stood up and continued walking along the woods halfway up the mountain. She had made up her mind not to climb up the mountain.
After walking in the woods for more than twenty minutes, Yun Yiyi felt that the sound of birds singing in the woods became more frequent.
Yun Yiyi looked up and saw quite a few birds in the trees. Then she looked down and saw that the grass seemed a little darker here, and there were more signs of animal activity on the ground.
Yun Yiyi walked forward excitedly and found a small stone pool under a huge rock.
The inside of the stone pond is blocked by huge rocks, and the outside is covered by trees. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.
Yun Yiyi came to the stone pond and found that it was an irregular circle with a diameter of about one meter.
A layer of fallen leaves covered the stone pool, making it difficult to tell its depth. The water, once it exceeded the pool's surface, flowed down the slope.
It seems that the stone pond is a moving stone pond, not a stagnant pool of water. The water in the stone pond is drinkable.
Yun Yiyi took an iron stick and poked it into the stone pool, and found that the pool was about 60 centimeters deep.
Yun Yiyi knocked on the bottom of the stone pond with a stick, and a crisp knocking sound was made. It seemed that the bottom of the stone pond was also made of stone.
Yun Yiyi put down the iron rod, ran to the side and kicked down a small tree.
Then, Yun Yiyi came back with the whole tree. She placed the tree in the stone pond, hugged it with both hands, and swept the fallen leaves out.
Soon, the fallen leaves in the pond were almost cleared away.
Yun Yiyi put down the small tree and looked carefully at the water in the pond.
The water in the pool was only slightly turbid, but soon it became clear.
Yun Yiyi used her hands to clear the remaining fallen leaves out of the stone pool. This time, she finally discovered that the water in the stone pool was flowing out from the cracks in the boulders.
The current isn't too strong, but it's not too weak either. Getting water from this pool is definitely a breeze. The only thing to worry about is that you might have to wait a while before you can get out of the water.
However, this is also good. It takes time to transport water from the stone pool to the foot of the mountain.
Yun Yiyi went to the side and plucked a bunch of grass, tied it up, and then used the grass to wipe the inside of the stone pond.
The water in the stone pond became turbid.
When everyone comes to fetch water, they can first use buckets to clean the water in the stone pond.
Although the water is muddy, it can be fed to mules and donkeys.
Later, the clear water stored in the stone pond can be used for drinking and cooking.
Yun Yiyi is now at the bottom of the stone pond, washing her hands, face and feet.
Then she walked around the stone pond. Next to the place where the water flowed, the wild vegetables and weeds grew particularly lush.
Now we have a place to dig wild vegetables.
Yun Yiyi walked down along the path where the stone pool flowed, and found a crooked pear tree at the foot of a hillside.
The pear tree is not very tall, and the whole tree has a crooked neck, leaning against the hillside.
Yun Yiyi climbed up the pear tree in a few steps and found that there were still twenty or thirty wild pears on the tree.
Yun Yiyi reached out and picked a wild pear, took a bite, and found it juicy, sweet, crispy, and very delicious.
Initially, Yun Yiyi thought it would be astringent because of its small size, but the taste was a real surprise to her.
It is estimated that the water in the stone pond flows down, and the pear trees have enough water, so they can bear pears in such a year.
Yun Yiyi ate all the pears, then climbed up the tree, quickly picked all the pears on the tree, put them in her clothes pocket, and took her down the tree.
Yun Yiyi continued walking down the mountain with the wild pears in her bag. After walking for more than half an hour, she finally reached the official road.
She walked back along the official road and walked for more than half an hour before she arrived at the place where the people of Yunjia Village rested.
"Mom, look what delicious food I found for you?"
Zhang was startled. She turned around and saw Yun Yiyi with her hair disheveled, her clothes rolled up, and a big bag of things in it.
Fortunately, Yun Yiyi was wearing the clothes of Third Brother Yun, which were a little big, so her belly was not exposed.
Zhang stood up hurriedly. "Yiyi, where did you go to buy this? What's in your pocket?"
As Zhang spoke, she placed a basket in front of Yun Yiyi.
Yun Yiyi gently placed the wild pears in her clothes into the basket.
"Mom, look, I found the wild pear."
When Zhang saw the wild pears in the basket, she immediately came to Yun Yiyi, lifted her clothes and looked at them carefully.
Yun Yiyi was a little confused by Zhang's trick. "Mom, I'm not hurt. That pear tree is very short. Really, Mom, I didn't lie to you."
