Ning Xiyue's eyes fell on the last sign-in item, the mysterious box.
The surface of this 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 have a sense of age.
When the box was opened, there was a rolled-up 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 supplementary explanation.
The map is set against the backdrop of hunters who make a living by hunting.
A hunter named Aniu made a living by hunting in the Daqi Mountains for himself and his family.
Daqishan is the full name of the towering mountain behind the Youth League Institute and the four smaller hills connected to it. 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 places were large, and some were small.
There are places that you must never enter, 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 and process naturally by nature.
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 hidden places where medicinal herbs grow. The places where Aniu found ginseng, where he found Schisandra chinensis, where he found Saposhnikovia divaricata, where he found Asarum, etc. are all marked. The large-scale growing areas 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, reproducing endlessly and growing every year.
There are also wild fruits and various mountain products that are also good. With the map of nature's treasure house in hand, she can travel around the entire Daqi Mountain as easily as walking in her own back garden, and she can find whatever she wants.
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 advantage of it.
Ning Xiyue put away the map and planned her time.
It's not too busy after the autumn harvest, and the supplies in the mountains are abundant. She has to take advantage of this time to go and have a look. If she doesn't go, the other members of the team will.
"Host, when are you planning 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 a day. After we've checked the situation, ask my second brother to go with us. Together, we can gather the bounty 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 restless people, and there must be a lot of people going up the mountain in these days.
Live off the mountain, everyone knows that autumn is the harvest season, and the same goes for the things harvested in the mountains. In the era of material shortage, as soon as the holidays came, everyone would go to the mountains to find something to take home and store, so that they could still 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 clear the dishes and clean the kitchen.
Finally, I poured Xiaohui'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 League House in front and shouted, "Xiyue, you came out at the perfect time. Someone is looking for you outside the Youth League House. They say 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 watching curiously, and didn't want to be treated like a monkey, so 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're really smart and capable. You can cook on your own without suffering any loss, eat whatever you want, and have your own little space to be alone. You also have fewer conflicts with the educated youth. I feel relieved that you're like this, and Mom and Dad don't have to worry about you suffering any loss. You're awesome."
Ning Xiyue was also not a modest person. She accepted all the compliments and said proudly with her head held high: "That's right. I went to the countryside with the love of my family. But if I do anything better, I will not live up to their kindness."
"That's good. My parents, my elder brother, and I will be relieved if you're doing well." Ning Qingyuan nodded, then changed the subject, "By the way, where's Ning Xiaoxiao? Why haven't I seen her? I came here today to vent my anger for you."
"Don't worry about her. She's at 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 anymore. It's a waste of 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. Take a few pieces home 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 parents. You can take some back to try 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 let his eldest brother have the chance to show off. He had also eaten it, and it was handed to him by his sister personally.
Ning Xiyue also accepted half of the pastries brought by her second brother.
The two siblings exchanged supplies.
"Second brother, do you guys also want to take two days off?"
Ning Qingyuan nodded and said what he was thinking: "Yes, I also want to ask you to go to the mountains to look for things. Every year after the autumn harvest, there are some wild fruits ripening 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 go to the mountain. Now, let's go directly tomorrow morning."
