I carried the wheat up the mountain in batches with the backpack. After five or six trips, I had basically transported all the wheat up. The remaining rotten wood that would grow wood ear mushrooms was also transported twice in the same way. After all the wood was transported up, I took the backpack off the vines, carried it on my back, tied the wooden ox and horse to the vines, and climbed up alone along the vines. I soon returned to the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain.

Then the three of us worked together to pull the wooden ox and flowing horse at the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and the operation was completed.

This time, I mainly saw that the wolves were scared yesterday and would not come over in a short time. The hunting method of the Gu Diao is to confuse people with sound first. I haven't heard it for such a long time, so I guessed that it was full and went to sleep. Therefore, I dared to take a gamble and chose this time to go down.

There is also an element of gambling in it.

"Yunwen, Bailu also taught you a lot of skills, including some medicine usage and cooking. I may have to trouble you to buy these in the future." I said.

"Okay, I'll go cook now." Yunwen said obediently.

"Yingchun, doing things will make you feel more fulfilled and reduce some of the negative emotions. I'll have to trouble you to get some earthen urns, pots, and jars for our daily use, okay?" I asked

She was in a daze for a long time, and after a while, she nodded. Her expression was dazed and the nodding movement was almost non-existent.

Seeing her like this, I didn't know what to say. Besides, I had a lot of work to do today. The wheat needed to be processed, otherwise we would have no food for the second half of the year.

I can't control too much. I have to cure my inner demons myself.

Faced with so much wheat, the first thing that came to my mind was to quickly find a flat place to use as a threshing floor. After flattening the place and drying the wheat for a while, I would make a flail to beat the wheat, and then I could thresh the wheat. Then I would make some barrels to make a barn to store it.

However, this is a mountainous area and there is no flat area nearby. I have to clear a piece of land, otherwise, I will not be able to carry out the next work. So I took the engineer shovel and went down from the isolated peak to the second mountain road. The mountain road here is wider and there is a suitable place. There is a relatively flat land, but there are too many weeds. I used the engineer shovel to clean it up and compacted the land. It can be regarded as a better wheat field.

Then they went up and took down all the bundles of wheat, spread them flat on the ground, and let the sun expose them fully to the sun. When the moisture in the wheat was completely dry, it would be easier to thresh.

I had to untie and lay out the piles, untie and lay them out again, and I was so tired that I was sweating all over. I haven't done farm work for a long time, and my endurance in these areas is not as good as before.

Just when I finished, Yunwen came down from the stone steps and called me to eat. I responded casually out of instinct, but then I felt something was wrong. I was being too instinctive and treating this place as my hometown in the countryside. I hurried to explain to Yunwen.

Unexpectedly, she smiled and said, "When you respond like that, I feel like we are an old married couple in a rural area."

I scratched my neck, feeling very embarrassed. Actually, I really thought so in a daze just now.

"If you feel offended by me, I'm sorry," I said.

"Don't think about it. I think it's quite interesting. There's nothing offensive about it. Come and eat." Yunwen covered her mouth with her hands and smiled. She turned her head shyly and walked up quickly in small steps, just like a little jumping rabbit.

I have almost finished processing the wheat. The temperature now is almost as high as in summer, but sometimes the temperature difference between day and night makes us feel like a late spring cold snap. Therefore, I dry the wheat in the sun, just like when I was in the countryside before. It will take three or four days to dry it out basically.

When we went upstairs to eat, since there were no earthenware basins or bowls at all, we only had two slices of roasted beef, some scented tea, and some soaked black fungus mixed with sauce. The taste of the sauce was similar to the one Song Bailu made, but it was still a little lacking in heat, and it always felt like something was missing.

Little Yingchun had a stern face and sat down reluctantly after Yunwen's persuasion, but she didn't want to eat a single bite.

"Yingchun, eat quickly. Only when you are full will you have strength to survive." Yunwen said.

Yingchun tore off a piece of beef, tasted it, and spat it out, saying, "It's so hard and fishy! Can you cook? You are so far behind my sister! I don't want your cooking, I want the food cooked by my sister, I want my sister! Woo woo woo!"

Yingchun pushed away the beef and cold-mixed black fungus on the stone that had been moved temporarily, and was about to go crazy and knock over the tea in the bronze jar, but I stopped her. She cried loudly, and her crying was very irritating.

"If you don't want to eat, just leave. You can go find your sister, no one will stop you. But food is precious. If you mess around again, I won't be polite to you." I said.

"Zhou Bo..." Yunwen hurriedly persuaded, she shook her head at me.

Of course I know she hopes I can understand Yingchun, after all, she has lost her loved ones, but I can't do that.

"Did you hear that?" I continued to scold Yingchun.

She stood up angrily, shook off my hand, and said, "Zhou Bo, you are such a cold-blooded animal, I misjudged you! As soon as my sister left, you began to reveal your true colors. You make me feel disgusted! I won't eat it anymore, are you satisfied? I would rather starve to death than eat a bite of your food again."

After she shouted, she ran away. Yunwen wanted to chase her, but I held her back.

"Zhou Bo, you're going too far. What if she really can't get over it if you do this? You can't do this. I also think you're cold-blooded!" Yunwen said coquettishly.

"Listen to me, we can be sad and upset, but this is not home. Crying, throwing tantrums, and being willful will only erode the rules we have worked so hard to establish like poisonous insects, and will make our team more and more dispersed! Besides, in the wild, food is everything, it is life. If we don't know how to respect it, shouldn't such behavior be reprimanded?" I asked.

Yunwen sat down. Although she tended to be emotional, she had worked as a flight attendant before. She was better than ordinary people in listening and rational understanding. She quickly understood what I said and just sighed a few times.

"Yes, you were born a special forces soldier and you understand the wild more thoroughly than we do. Without you, we would have died hundreds of times. I understand what you said, but can you be more tolerant to Xiao Yingchun?" Yunwen asked.

I shook my head, sighed, and said, "Tolerating her will only make her lose her sense of propriety. She should understand that she is not a greenhouse flower. This is the cruel wilderness."

I tore off a piece of the roast beef and shared it with Yunwen, and we each ate it bite by bite. Although the cold-mixed black fungus was a little lacking in flavor, I still ate it with great relish, and Yunwen accompanied me as she finished it bite by bite.

After lunch, we had to go down the stone steps to the second level of the mountain wheat field to get some more wheat seeds, keeping some for the next batch of wheat planting.

When I passed Yingchun, who was lying on the ground in a tantrum, I said, "Girl, don't forget what your sister told you."

After saying that, I took the snakeskin bag and went down the stone steps. When I arrived at the wheat field, I selected some fuller and more promising wheat seeds and put them into the snakeskin bag, tied them up, and looked around again. The second layer of the mountain, which was lower than the solitary peak, was the long road that looked like a city wall. There were cliffs in front and behind, and only the long and unobstructed mountain roads on the left and right.

I plan to plant crops on the second layer next time, but that will be in autumn and winter.

After finishing all this, I was planning to go back to the isolated peak, but I was attracted by the two stone statues again. I wanted to go over and take a look. There was a special attraction urging me, so I followed the inspiration and walked past the stone statues. After walking for a few minutes, I saw the dead corner where the second layer of the mountain and the isolated peak met, but at the same time I also saw a cave blocked by rocks.
