Chapter 22: First Entering the Forest



The winter in Northeast China is really cold! Although winter has just begun, the temperature...

Feeling the small stone tied to my chest, I feel a bit pitiful for having such a heartless mother.

I quickly wrapped the child more tightly in the coat, thinking that when we go into the mountains later, I will put Xiao Shitou in the small courtyard and let Xiao Ai take care of him. Anyway, it is spring there all year round, neither too cold nor too hot, which is just right.

I couldn't help but think of Xiaolu again. It would be even better if I could cultivate another mutant plant. I really need a full-time nanny around me...

Haha, what good things are you thinking about? This is not the end of the world. He laughed as he said this. He really wants to take advantage of everything.

As I was thinking, I soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. It is said that you live by the mountain and eat by the mountain, and you live by the water. Shijia Village is backed by a mountain, so naturally many people go into the mountain to hunt for treasures and hunt during the slack season.

Hunting, picking fruits, digging herbs, collecting firewood...

In later generations, by collecting and summarizing so many books and materials, she, who was particularly interested in geography and customs, learned a lot of useful knowledge, which was of great help in her later search for rare mutant beasts.

As for why I'm searching for rare mutant beasts? Can I just say I want to comfort my internal organs...

Of course, there are also many medicinal herbs in the deep mountains, such as ginseng, deer antler, saposhnikovia divaricata, bupleurum, scutellaria, plantain seed, polygonatum, etc.

He slowly went deeper into the mountains and slipped into the small courtyard. He put the little stone whose face was red from the cold into the children's room and fed it some magical spring water. His face recovered visibly. Then he walked out of the courtyard with peace of mind and drank to his heart's content. His health got better and better.

There are still many living creatures in the mountains and forests of Northeast China, including wolves, red deer, roe deer, foxes, and even bears and tigers. Hunters in the village can be seen here all year round.

It was almost eaten up by hungry people during the natural disasters in the past few years, and now it can only be found in the deep mountains.

I hope I can also come across a rabbit, red deer or something like that. I haven’t eaten fresh wild animals for a long time. As Chu Xi said this, he actually swallowed his saliva embarrassingly.

The forest was relatively quiet in early winter. Apart from hunting two pheasants and a rabbit, we didn't find anything else along the way.

Besides, there is too little pheasant meat and it can’t be sold at a high price.

Even though his mental strength hadn't recovered yet, the impact of the space explosion was still quite significant, and his physical foundation was too weak. With the current coverage area of over a hundred meters, the search range was too small.

As we walked and stopped, we discovered many rare trees.

This local area belongs to Longfeng Mountain, and the forest coverage area at this time reaches more than 60%. It is located in the southern section of Daxinganling Mountains. There are many red pines and spruces on the mountain.

The fruit of red pine is the Northeast pine nut. Wild red pine nuts are particularly precious. Red pine is also a very good material for construction and furniture.

Thinking of the vast land in the space, she used the little mental strength she had just recovered to start the work of a porter.

Because of her poor health, although the space was brought over intact, her two most relied-upon abilities, spatial blade and teleportation, were only beginning to recover slowly, but it was barely enough.

People should be content.

Then a hardworking tree digger appeared in the depths of the forest. We couldn't dig the trees that were too thick and big, so we picked the small ones first.

If she wasn't afraid of attracting attention, she would have wanted to drive the excavator out of the space, but unfortunately she didn't dare...

I don't know if there are any rangers or hunters in this area.

Looking at the large forest that had appeared on the edge of the forest in the space and the small medicinal garden on the edge of the yard, Chu Xi smiled like an old farmer.

Seeing that it was getting late, he turned around and walked back.

My mental power dispersed, and I gained a lot on the way back. Did they start to move around in the afternoon?

There was a total of one big wild boar, two small wild boars, five pheasants, three rabbits, and a big red deer.

Looking down at his thin arms and legs, Chu Xi, who was still very frail, did not try to show off his strength. Instead, he swung a sharp space blade at the wild boar, almost cutting off the entire head. The wild boar fell down after a few steps, bleeding profusely. He took it away!

Other animals simply rely on mental power to aim, and they can be solved by just raising their hands and throwing stones. They are basically precise strikes, specifically hitting the head, so they usually faint instead of dying directly.

When I was about to leave the mountain, I casually collected some firewood and put it in the backpack, and placed two pheasants and two rabbits under the firewood in advance.

But you dare not let others see it casually. You have to know that the mountain belongs to the collective, and the wild animals on the mountain naturally belong to the collective as well. Although hunting is a customary practice, taking them out openly is asking for trouble.

She planned to go to the county tomorrow to try to find a black market and explore the route to see if she could sell some of the supplies in the space, exchange them for some money, and buy some daily necessities.

You have to know that she didn't have a penny on her. All the money and food in the family were in the hands of Old Lady Shi. Even when she cooked, she had to ask her for money.

She must keep a rabbit in the open, otherwise it will be difficult to find an excuse to go to the county town tomorrow. She will probably be asked to go to work again. Who will care whether she is sick or not? Selling the rabbit is just to shut her up. As for the money from selling the rabbit... they can forget about it!
