Chapter 80 Chapter 80
Since it was broad daylight, Ye Yu did not use her ability to teleport, but climbed up step by step. This was not a big deal for her.
The sparrow, who was used to hitchhiking, seemed puzzled. It tilted its head, its eyes blank for a long time, then jumped twice on her shoulder and called: "Chirp, chirp, chirp."
"Store food."
Ye Yu called out.
The sparrows immediately became quiet and obediently clung to Ye Yu's shoulders or flew close to her.
Hua Feifei and the others all praised the sparrow for its intelligence in storing food. In fact, due to its small size, the sparrow's brain capacity is limited, and it can only remember a few fixed commands and habits over and over again.
Even gradually becoming worse than Chicken No. 1, although mocking Chicken No. 1 is also one of the habits.
It is so stupid that it is a bit mentally retarded, but because it has been conditioned and trained well, it does not require too many fancy ideas. It is easy to pet and raise, so it has been a pet ever since.
Whoosh——
A snake with yellow horizontal stripes on its trunk had been lying in ambush for a long time. Suddenly, it jumped out from the branch on the right, opened its mouth wide, showing its sharp teeth, and almost took away all the stored food.
Ye Yu was quick-witted and snapped the snake's neck, hitting the snake at its most vulnerable part. But in reality, a more rapid and limited lethal method than snapping the snake's neck is to snap the neck, but this requires more skills, otherwise there is a high chance of being bitten.
This is a king cobra, commonly known as the rat snake. It is non-venomous and large in size. It feeds on birds, rodents, and snakes. It has a violent and ferocious temperament and will actively attack people. It is so violent that even after its head and body have been separated, the snake's head still makes a muffled sound like the vibration of a motorcycle engine when it flies into the bushes.
Ye Yu put the snake body into the storage space.
This was not the first snake she had encountered on the road. With the arrival of spring, everything came back to life and snakes also woke up from hibernation. Some snakes that had been hungry for most of the winter would attack people regardless of their size.
The king cobra, which is aggressive but non-venomous, is not so bad. Cobras are poisonous but not very active. However, the highly venomous five-step snakes, silver ring snakes, and bamboo pit vipers, which are insidious and poisonous, are hard to guard against. They kill quite a few people every year.
Although Ye Yu felt that he would not be easily killed by poisonous snakes with his third-level supernatural power of self-healing, he did not want to be bitten by them. No matter whether it was a blood coagulant toxin or a nerve toxin, the process of resistance would still be uncomfortable.
So he stopped and piled up his equipment.
Especially on the feet, put on a pair of black waterproof boots. The boots are from this era and can provide protection as long as they are not bitten through and injected with venom.
Keep going.
All the snakes encountered, whether poisonous or not, as long as they are not pregnant and are not young snakes, have become the real reserve food in the space. Roasted meat and snake soup are quite delicious. They are more elastic and delicate than eels, with less umami flavor and less earthy smell.
Ye Yu encountered not only snakes, but also other animals, which was no less than what she caught from traps. But what surprised her most was the green that broke through the ground in the spring.
This is not Versailles.
We are still in an era of food and clothing shortages, and people basically eat seasonal fruits and vegetables. The vegetables in winter are always the same. Nowadays, Ye Yu has no shortage of meat, but lacks vegetables. He is happy to see green.
Moreover, there are abundant varieties of wild vegetables in the mountains.
Many common wild flowers and weeds such as shepherd's purse, amaranth, bracken, amaranth, dandelion, gray vegetable, bitter sesame, water celery, etc. can be eaten.
Probably no one does not like to eat shepherd's purse dumplings, shepherd's purse wontons, and shepherd's purse porridge. They are fresh and delicious. Even if some wild vegetables are not suitable for making dumplings, you can rinse them with cold water and stir-fry or eat them cold. They are delicious and nutritious.
There is actually wild toon, which has a unique fresh fragrance. People who like this taste will love it, but those who don’t like it will find it a bit strange.
There is also wild garlic, also known as small-root garlic, which is delicious when mixed with tofu, fried bacon, or scrambled eggs, as well as wild ginger. These are all pure, natural, and pollution-free seasonings that fell from the sky.
In fact, Ye Yu doesn't know all the wild vegetables, and the current plant atlas is very different from that in the last days.
But she was prepared.
She doesn't understand, but the villagers do. Which village kid didn't grow up digging wild vegetables?
"Bamboo forest in the West Mountain and mushrooms in the East Mountain", the wild vegetables in the East Mountain have also emerged. The women, the elderly and the children in the village have begun to dig wild vegetables in the East Mountain. Ye Yu has accompanied them several times. With their help, he has recognized more and more wild vegetables.
But Ye Yu basically would not pick or dig wild vegetables in Dongshan, mainly because she had a big appetite. If she dug in Dongshan, the amount dug by others would definitely be reduced.
God knows how much self-control Ye Yu had to leave a mountain of wild vegetables for the villagers of Wangjiagou. If he had just been reborn, this would have been almost impossible.
The villagers were unaware of Ye Yu's difficult psychological journey and had a better impression of her. They even said that when the weather gets warmer, they would teach her how to identify the various edible mushrooms.
This is a good feeling!
Ye Yu didn't have to worry so much in Xishan, even though there were a few families living there. But if she were to worry about everything, she wouldn't be that kind of person.
Whenever she saw wild vegetables, she would basically not let them go, and she climbed up almost like a bulldozer. She had never climbed a mountain so slowly before.
Ye Yu has storage space. Time in the storage space tends to be static infinitely, and it is a vacuum environment, so it cannot be damaged at all. Naturally, the goose passes by and the feathers are plucked, and the beast leaves, leaving the skin.
In addition to wild vegetables, there are also wild fruits. However, the wild fruits nowadays are only prickly ash, wood sorrel, thatch root, raspberry, etc. There is nothing wrong with classifying them as wild vegetables. The only difference is whether they can be eaten raw and whether they taste good.
There are some wild fruits that are more like fruits, such as the mulberry fruit, the jujube fruit, the mulberry vine, the mulberry fruit, the pyracantha fruit, etc. They are a bit sour now, so it is better to take note and wait until they are more mature.
Ye Yu knew that he had a strong memory, but there were too many wild fruits in the mountains. To be on the safe side, in addition to drawing a map in his mind, he also took out a notebook to scribble.
But seriously, it's so funny that if you don't know, you might think it's some kind of geographical research.
If Hua Feifei and the other two saw this, they would probably be scared to death. Ye Yu actually had the day to take notes.
For food?
No wonder.
When Ye Yu reached the top of Nanshan Mountain, it was already two and a half hours later. In order to conceal his supernatural powers, the backpack behind him was filled to the brim and some prey was hung on the side.
The forest ranger, Mr. Wang, who had been sitting on the top of the mountain waiting for who knows how long, knew that her gains were definitely more than that. He could basically guess that Ye Yu had some strange abilities that made people unable to figure out no matter how hard they tried, and that might involve more subtle metaphysics.
There was no other way. Ye Yu was too ruthless in her hunting of prey at Nanshan Mountain. As a forest ranger, Wang Laoyezi couldn't help but pay attention. But it was even more impossible for her to give up hunting at Nanshan Mountain. As long as she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never admit it.
Mr. Wang had no intention of exposing it.
Ye Yu's appetite was indeed huge, but animals would reproduce and wild vegetables would grow again, so Nanshan could still support her alone. As long as she didn't wipe out her species and roots and followed the principles of hunting, he would turn a blind eye.
"Grandpa is roasting sweet potatoes, can you give me one?" Ye Yu went over with a smile. It had been more than two hours since lunch, and there was still a little space left in his stomach.
"Go, go, go." Old Master Wang glared at her unhappily. Was this girl Zhou Paopi in her previous life?
Although she was dissatisfied, she still gave her two of them, one was the sweet potato and the other was a taro.
As they were hungry, Ye Yu also offered two chickens and gave Wang Laoyezi two chicken legs.
Old Master Wang had never lacked fried meat in his life, and he did not have as strong an obsession with meat as other people in the village. He ate two chicken legs mainly because he was amused by Ye Yu's reluctant look, so he asked for more.
"..." Ye Yu sighed, "You are old now, take it easy and don't ruin your health."
Old Master Wang is just like other old people. The older he gets, the more he refuses to admit his age. Upon hearing this, he immediately blew his beard and glared: "What do you mean by broken? This little thing is not enough for an old man like me to fill the gaps between my teeth."
Elm leaves:
"Go on, blow."
Since the old man ate half of her chicken, she also helped him with the roasted sweet potatoes, corn and other things, so it could be considered a one-for-one exchange.
"belch."
A little bit supportive.
Mr. Wang:
"...You should not damage your stomach."
"No, no." Ye Yu touched his swollen belly and replied, thinking that even if it was damaged, it would heal itself. Isn't this what super powers are used for? The future apocalyptic super powers would definitely agree.
There was no need to bury the bones left after eating the chicken. When Old Man Wang blew a whistle, five brown-red dogs ran out from the southeast, northwest, and northeast of the forest.
This is the hunting dog raised by Mr. Wang. It is different from the big yellow dog that guards the villagers at the foot of the mountain. Although it is of medium size, its limbs are strong and powerful, especially the muscles of the hind limbs. The smooth lines when it runs are so handsome.
The way hunting dogs are raised is also different from that of domestic dogs at the foot of the mountain. Half of the time, they are free-range. Ye Yu has met them more than once in Nanshan, and they are creatures that have witnessed her use various spatial powers.
The five hounds were also very obedient.
Even though they were drooling, they would not fight for the bones in front of them. Moreover, they would not eat what Ye Yu fed them, but would only bite what Old Master Wang threw out.
Mr. Wang raised his head proudly and said, "How is my dog?"
"Not bad." Ye Yu gave a thumbs up and glanced at the food supplies on his shoulder. Look at others, they can hunt, while you can only chirp and catch some insects at most.
Old Master Wang asked Ye Yu if he wanted to raise one. He was reluctant to give away the five hunting dogs, and dogs were very loyal, so they might not be raised well if given away. However, one of his female hunting dogs was pregnant, so he could give Ye Yu and the others one or two puppies.
Ye Yu was a little hesitant. If she didn't have the ability to travel freely between mountains and forests, then of course she would need a hunting dog. However, the ability to travel freely between mountains and forests meant that it didn't seem to make much difference whether she had a hunting dog or not.
But she could understand the old man's good intentions. He saw that she went in and out of Nanshan too often, and hoped that the hunting dog could help take care of her. Besides, there is no hunter without a hunting dog.
Secondly, Mr. Wang has deep feelings for these hunting dogs and hopes to find a good place for them. If sparrows, one of the four pests of elm trees, can be raised to be sleek and smooth, then hunting dogs will definitely not be a problem.
Ye Yu agreed: "Okay, thank you, old man." When the time comes, if Hua Feifei and the other two are interested, they can also come to Nanshan to practice. Mountain hunting dogs are the best companions.
"Hmph, you got it for free."
