And there is no rush for now, as the land now has enough water to mature the potatoes this time.
Qiao Xuejun took a shower, paying attention to the trickle of water from the pipe, and waited until 4 pm before going out.
It was still very hot at 4 pm, but in Gongzhou, the temperature had dropped below 40 degrees at this time, and it will drop further later. You can go out if you hold on.
Because of the mad cow disease quarantine, all roads leading out of the town have been blocked.
But Qiao Xuejun didn't go outside. She went directly to the mountain along the path marked by the system.
She looked at her watch and saw that it took 35 minutes to get from her home to the foot of the mountain.
This mountain is indeed surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the mountains on all sides are taller than it. Perhaps it is because of the special environment. When Qiao Xuejun stood at the foot of this mountain, he actually felt a slightly cool breeze.
She even wanted to sit here and rest for a while.
But obviously there was no such condition, so she immediately carried her equipment up the mountain. The situation on this mountain was better than other places. The portable thermometer showed that it was 32 degrees Celsius, which was hot, but it was completely a normal temperature. At least all the animals would not be dried into jerky.
There is also a big difference between the sunny slope and the north slope of the mountain. The wood that fell on the sunny slope has been dried and is very suitable for burning, but the wood on the shady slope still contains some water and is a bit heavier.
When Qiao Xuejun reached the middle of the mountain, she checked the time again, and it was about 35 minutes. Adding the previous 35 minutes, the total journey was 70 minutes.
If we go back, we have to go down the mountain, which will make us walk faster, but carrying firewood on our backs, we probably won't be able to go much faster, so we will still need to leave about an hour for the journey.
That is to say, it is early April now, and the sun sets completely at 7:30 in the evening, so she needs to go down the mountain before 6:30. Now it is 5 o'clock, and she only has an hour and a half to work.
What can you do in an hour and a half?
Seeing that the condition of the mountain was so good, she wanted to take a look to see if there were any wild rabbits, pheasants or something else alive.
Qiao Xuejun didn't have time to think too much. He looked at the sunny and shady slopes, roughly assessing the situation, and started to work. He went to the sunny slope to pick up branches. It was estimated that few people would come to this mountain, and no one would pick up the branches that had fallen all over the mountain.
As they started picking up the firewood, Qiao Xuejun suddenly remembered something and asked the system, "You can teleport things into the shelter, can you teleport these firewood?"
System: "Yes! But this place is too far from the shelter, and we need additional energy, that is, food..."
Qiao Xuejun continued to bend down and pick up the things: "That's fine, just pretend I didn't ask."
System: ...Don’t you even ask how much food you need?
Originally, Qiao Xuejun brought an axe, and was confidently preparing to chop some slightly thicker branches into neat pieces and put them in her pocket to take away. However, she tried to chop the tree roots a few times with the axe, and after one chop, only a small hole was made in the root.
I might be able to cut it through by dark, and if I cut it into pieces, I might be able to do it by dawn.
Qiao Xuejun gave up decisively and chose to pick up the branches that had fallen on the ground.
She dragged a woven bag of potatoes that could hold 200 kilograms, picked up potatoes as she walked, and also took note of the vegetation characteristics of the mountain.
In the end, she had loaded about seventy or eighty kilograms of firewood, and it was already dark.
The alarm on my cell phone rang, it was half past six.
Must get down the mountain immediately.
