Chapter 44 Are we going to meet wild boars?
After Liu Xinghe handed the pig grass to Liu Erjiang, she prepared to start today's itinerary, wandering around the mountain, picking up firewood and digging herbs.
Liu Erjiang stopped her and said, "Little sister, wait for me. I'll go up the mountain with you. I'm going to go up the mountain to see if there is anything in the traps, and I'll also hunt for prey."
"Okay."
Liu Xinghe thought about it and agreed. She waited for Liu Erjiang to get the sack from the house. With the dry food, the two siblings went up the mountain from the forest behind the house and headed for the highest Tiefeng Mountain in the team. They
walked all the way up. When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Liu Xinghe's backpack was full of dry firewood. All the ropes tied to the backpack were used, and the backpack was a big pointed one.
"Little sister, let's put away your basket of firewood first. I'll go get some tools. Come, follow me. I'll take you to my secret base."
Liu Xinghe followed him curiously. She didn't know that Brother Liu had a secret base.
Liu Erjiang took her around for a while and came to the edge of a cliff. He used his hands to dig away a bunch of vines growing on the edge of the cliff, and suddenly a path extending downwards was revealed.
"Huh, there is another path here? I didn't see it." Liu Xinghe was surprised with her eyes wide open.
Who would have thought that there was such a path below? It was really secretive.
"My secret base is right below, be careful."
Liu Erjiang carried Liu Xinghe's firewood basket on his back, pulled out a long vine that went vertically downward, and handed it to Liu Xinghe: "Little sister, hold this vine and walk, it's safer."
"Okay."
Liu Xinghe walked in front to lead the way, Liu Erjiang walked behind to put the pile of vines back to their original position, and then protected Liu Xinghe as they walked down.
The two siblings walked safely to the middle of the cliff and stopped. Liu Erjiang shouted to Liu Xinghe in front:
"Little sister, dig open the vines on the left, the cave entrance is behind."
Liu Xinghe did as he was told, and indeed saw the cave behind.
This made Liu Xinghe feel an inexplicable sense of surprise, it was like finding a treasure, it was too magical, who was so capable of digging a cave on the hillside, it was amazing.
Liu Xinghe walked inside and asked casually: "Second brother, this cave is hidden so secretly. The person who built it would not have hidden any treasures in it."
Liu Erjiang shrugged: "It's a pity that there is nothing here. When I found it, it was empty. But it is well hidden and no one has found it. It makes it very convenient for me to process the prey and gives me a place to rest when I go into the mountains."
This is where Liu Erjiang often stays after entering the mountains. Some of his hunting tools are hidden in it, and the prey he kills is also processed here. The meat he brings home to eat is usually cooked here before taking it back.
The cave is not very deep. After passing through the narrow cave passage, there is a large space behind, the size of a football field. There is actually a spring in the innermost part, which forms a small pool of water of two square meters. The water inside is clear and you can see the bottom.
There is also a hole on the slightly higher ground on the other side of the pool, like a funnel, which is specially used to let the water that has entered the pool leak out, so as to prevent the water in the pool from overflowing.
Looking at the appearance of the pool, there are no traces of artificial chiseling, which is all the work of nature.
Wow, this cave is too perfect, and there is flowing water.
The stones on the edge of the small pool are polished to a shine, and there is a simple stove built with stones next to it. It is obviously the best place for her second brother to handle prey and cook meat.
The cave was well-organized by her second brother. There were simple living tools and a stone platform for handling prey.
"Little sister, you can come here to rest when you go up the mountain. But you'd better ask your second brother to come with you. There are wild boars in the deep forest. It's too dangerous for a little girl like you to go into the mountain."
"Yeah, okay."
Liu Xinghe agreed, but she was thinking about wild boars in her heart.
It was a wild boar, a whole pig. She had never eaten wild boar meat, and she didn't know what it tasted like. Compared with the pig meat in her space supermarket, which one tasted better.
After Liu Erjiang put down the backpack, he walked to the wall of the cave, took out a shotgun from under the dry thatch and put it on his back, turned around and called Liu Xinghe who was looking around in the cave.
"Okay, let's put the firewood here and come back to get it when we're done. Let's go, little sister."
"Coming."
Liu Xinghe trotted forward to catch up.
When they got to the woods, Liu Xinghe took out a medicine hoe and dug as he walked: "Second brother, there are a lot of herbs here. I'll dig here for a while, and you go collect prey."
Liu Erjiang saw that the distance was not very far, and it was still a long distance from the deep forest, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, you wait for me here, the trap I made is not far ahead, call me if you have anything."
"Okay."
Liu Xinghe's eyes had already fallen on the herbs on the ground. Holding the hoe, she dug herbs crazily without raising her head.
This mountain of treasures made her so happy! !
She wished she could grow eight pairs of hands to dig at the same time. How valuable would it be in modern times! Good Chinese herbal medicine is more than ten times more expensive than Western medicine.
Liu Xinghe put most of the herbs into the space while digging, and stored a small part in the sack in her hand.
This is all money!
This wild kudzu root is old and strong, and there are also the nine-dragon plate, nine-son linked grass, heavy building, etc.
It really feels like picking up money. I can't go back today, I can't go back!
Immersed in the joy of digging herbs, Liu Xinghe unknowingly dug farther and farther, leaving the original area, and she almost stepped on a pile of fresh feces on the ground while digging.
Huh?
Liu Xinghe excitedly lay on the ground and looked at the pile of pig feces and observed: "It seems to be wild boar feces, it's still a little hot?"
Ah!
Are we going to meet wild boars?
What should I do if I get a little excited?
Liu Xinghe took out her axe and quickly searched the surroundings with her eyes like radar.
Suddenly, a humming sound entered Liu Xinghe's ears, and she tiptoed in the direction of the sound.
Liu Xinghe, who was lying behind a big tree, looked at the scene in the low ground in front of her and her eyes suddenly lit up.
A strong wild boar was lying on the back of another smaller wild boar, performing the primitive exercise of animal reproduction.
