Chapter 2709: Hunting and Digging for Herbs (I)
"Second sister, are you going to the back mountain to cut grass for pigs in the afternoon?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Ermei.
"Go ahead, you don't want to go cut grass for the pigs with us, do you?"
"No, I wanted to go hunting in the back mountains. You know how hard it is to buy meat in the county town, so I wanted to try my luck in the back mountains."
"So you want to go hunting, but it's very dangerous to go hunting in the back mountains now. Why don't you go later? I'll let my dad go with you."
"Uncle Pingjiang doesn't need to accompany me. I've participated in winter hunting before, and I can protect myself even if I encounter danger, so don't worry."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Ermei remembered that it was Lu Xiaoxiao who caught the most prey during last year's winter hunting. So she no longer stopped Lu Xiaoxiao from hunting, but took down the bow and arrow hanging on the wall and handed it to Lu Xiaoxiao.
Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at the bow and arrow in Liu Ermei's hand. She originally wanted to refuse because she didn't need a bow and arrow for hunting.
But when she thought that Liu Ermei would be worried because she didn't want the bow and arrow, she took the bow and arrow that Liu Ermei handed to her.
"Let's go. Let's set off now so that I can hunt more prey." Lu Xiaoxiao said to Liu Ermei after putting the bow and arrow on her back.
"Okay, let's go now."
After more than ten minutes, Lu Xiaoxiao stood at the foot of the mountain. She saw that everything on the mountain was beginning to revive, so she said to Liu Ermei, "Second sister, you should stop picking grass for pigs in the future. Pick herbs instead. You can earn more this way than picking grass for pigs."
"Xiaoxiao, are you still collecting herbs?" Liu Ermei asked after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
"Yes, why not? Wild herbs are much more effective than artificially grown herbs."
"Okay, then I'll start collecting herbs from next week. However, I've never collected herbs in the spring, so I need you to teach me."
"No problem. If I see any herbs while I'm hunting, I'll pick them up for you as samples."
"good."
"Then I'm going up the mountain. I'll be at your house to pick up the car before five o'clock."
"Be careful and don't put yourself in danger just for hunting."
"I understand." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she waved to Liu Ermei and then quickly walked up the mountain.
When Lu Xiaoxiao could no longer see her, Liu Ermei took Liu Sanmei and Liu Simei to cut grass for the pigs.
Half an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao came to the entrance of the small world. When she saw the big stone and dead branches at the entrance of the small world, she knew that no one had ever entered the small world, so she quickly moved the dead branches and big stone aside, and then walked into the small world.
After Lu Xiaoxiao entered the small world, she saw that it was as peaceful and harmonious as before, which made her body and mind relax. She looked at the time and saw that it was not yet two o'clock, so she found a flat grass and lay down.
After she lay on the grass, looking at the clouds slowly floating in the sky and hearing the chirping of birds, she actually felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
After Lu Xiaoxiao lay on the grass for about half an hour, she stood up and walked towards the slope behind.
She dug a lot of herbs on that slope last year. Since she had time today, she planned to go there to dig some more.
She had almost used up all the herbs stored in her space. Now Liu Biao had gone to work in the county again. If nothing unexpected happened, Liu Gouzi and the other two would also go to work in the county.
Therefore, Liu Ermei could not rely on herself to dig herbs for her use. In addition, she could not find anyone to help her dig herbs for the time being, so she could only dig them by herself. She could not buy them on the black market. Although she was not short of money, she did not want to waste money.
