The two walked up the mountain. Although it was noon, the sun was very hot.
But because there were many trees on the mountain, the sunlight was blocked and there was a breeze blowing from time to time. Although He Xianqiu was wearing a shirt, he didn't feel very hot.
The wind in the woods blew the fallen leaves, and the two people stepped on the dry leaves, making a rustling sound.
He Xianqiu followed Ji Chenzhou all the way to the middle of the mountain. She was a little tired after walking for a long time, and her breathing became heavy.
Seeing that she could no longer walk and her face was sunburned, Ji Chenzhou quickly took out a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it to He Xianqiu.
He Xianqiu was a little stunned when she looked at the water bottle, then she was surprised. She took it and started drinking. She was indeed thirsty. She didn't think of bringing water when she came, she only remembered to bring lunch.
But this is Ji Chenzhou's water bottle, so He Xianqiu stayed away from the bottle mouth because Ji Chenzhou would also want to drink from it soon.
After drinking the water, He Xianqiu finally no longer felt thirsty and her breathing was not so heavy. She handed the water bottle to Ji Chenzhou and motioned for him to drink some water as well.
Ji Chenzhou took the water, then moved away from the bottle, raised his head and drank a few sips.
He Xianqiu watched him drinking water, and her throat began to roll. However, she didn't dare touch him anymore. After a casual glance, she looked away.
He Xianqiu was tired and didn't care whether her clothes were dirty or not. She was about to sit down when Ji Chenzhou put a cloth on the ground before she sat down.
The cloth was more than one meter wide. After He Xianqiu sat down, there was still some space left. She patted the cloth mat and looked up at Ji Chenzhou: "There's still room. Come quickly."
Ji Chenzhou looked at her, nodded, and sat down, but some distance away from her.
Although there was some distance between them, Ji Chenzhou could still smell the fragrance coming from He Xianqiu.
He Xianqiu didn't pay attention to these. She looked at the surrounding trees, and then unexpectedly discovered a patch of camellia oil fruit trees. Her eyes lit up.
Tea oil fruit can be dried and pressed to produce oil, and the yield is quite high.
The cooking oil her family uses for cooking is camellia oil. Camellia oil is very fragrant and is a pure, natural, additive-free vegetable oil, also known as tea oil.
Seeing a patch of wild camellia fruit trees, He Xianqiu turned to Ji Chenzhou and said happily, "I saw a patch of camellia fruit trees that can be used to extract oil."
As he spoke, He Xianqiu pointed to a patch of camellia trees full of camellia oil seeds.
Ji Chenzhou looked up and saw that this thing could be used to extract oil. He was a little surprised. This tea oil fruit tree would produce white hollow fruits. He loved to pick and eat them when he was a child.
But most of these tea oil fruits are not sweet and do not contain enough moisture. People in the team do not like to pick them, so they just let them fall naturally and become nutrients.
He Xianqiu was very interested in this patch of camellia trees, but he didn't dare to go there alone.
So he could only look at Ji Chenzhou with shining eyes, his eyes fully expressing: I want to go, I want to go.
Ji Chenzhou smiled helplessly, then nodded.
He Xianqiu's eyes lit up when she got the consent. She couldn't wait, so she grabbed Ji Chenzhou's sleeve and trotted over.
Ji Chenzhou just looked at her gently and then followed her.
He Xianqiu looked at the tea oil fruit seeds that fell on the ground, then broke them open and took out the seeds inside. Then he looked up excitedly and said to Ji Chenzhou, "The seeds inside can be dried and pressed for oil, so I want some."
Ji Chenzhou watched her lower her head and carefully crack the fruit, so he squatted down and bent over to help her take out the seeds inside.
The two of them picked up a lot, putting a lot in the basket and the backpack. When they thought it was almost done, He Xianqiu brushed the dust off his hands.
He turned to Ji Chenzhou and said, "That's enough. I'll take these tea oil seeds and try. But I'll need some utensils, so I have to find some tools."
Ji Chenzhou asked: "What tools do you need?"
He Xianqiu pondered for a moment: "Roasting cage, stone mortar, steaming barrel, wooden press..."
"I can do all of these. Just leave it to me when the time comes." Ji Chenzhou said in a low voice.
He Xianqiu was surprised. Ji Chenzhou knew so many things, so many that she couldn't even count them all.
She nodded: "That's great." She then praised him, "Xiao Ji, you know so many things."
Ji Chenzhou pursed his lips and smiled: "Fortunately, these are basic skills."
Thinking of the few wild guavas here, Ji Chenzhou asked her: "There are wild guavas a little further up. Do you want to pick some? They are very sweet."
He Xianqiu hadn't eaten guava for a long time when she came here. When she heard that there was guava, she nodded and was so excited.
Seeing her smiling face, Ji Chenzhou raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then took her upstairs.
After a while, the two people came down, so I put down the backpack and went up carrying the basket.
After walking about a hundred meters, He Xianqiu saw several wild guava trees.
The trees are full of green guavas hanging, laden with fruits. The guavas look so fresh and juicy that you want to take a bite.
He Xianqiu turned her head and looked at Ji Chenzhou. She smiled and said, "There are so many guavas on the tree. They look delicious. Let's go pick them."
As he spoke, He Xianqiu grabbed Ji Chenzhou's sleeve and walked forward to the wild guava tree.
Ji Chenzhou lowered his head and eyes, staring at her hand that was grasping his sleeve. Her hand was slender and beautiful, and her nails were red and shiny.
But this beautiful hand was now tightly grasping his tattered sleeve, which made him a little dazed, but his feet still followed her closely.
When they arrived next to the guava, He Xianqiu let go of Ji Chenzhou's hand and started picking guavas.
Ji Chenzhou looked at her loosened hand and felt inexplicably lost.
He Xianqiu's mind was completely on guavas at this time. She picked the good-looking guavas and plucked them.
After putting the guavas in the basket, He Xianqiu noticed that Ji Chenzhou was still standing there motionless. He grabbed his sleeve and shook him: "Little Ji, pick some guavas. I want some nice ones."
As she said this, she let go of her hand and turned back to pick the guava.
Ji Chenzhou pursed his lips and whispered, "Okay."
Then he came to He Xianqiu and picked guavas. Wherever He Xianqiu was picking them, he followed him.
After picking for a while, the basket gradually became full. He Xianqiu stopped and bent down to grab the basket.
Ji Chenzhou also reached out to grab the basket, and their hands grabbed together, with Ji Chenzhou's hand grabbing the back of He Xianqiu's hand.
The back of He Xianqiu's hand felt very soft, and Ji Chenzhou quickly took his hand away as if he had been electrocuted.
He Xianqiu looked up at him, Ji Chenzhou lowered his eyes, his eyelashes drooping to hide his emotions: "Xianqiu, let me take it."
He Xianqiu nodded: "Okay."
She let go of her hand, and Ji Chenzhou quickly grabbed the basket and held it in his hand.
The two walked side by side and went down together to pick up the tea oil seeds that had just been placed below.
Ji Chenzhou bent down and put the backpack on his back, and He Xianqiu helped him lift the basket.
It was the sound of a pig squealing coming from a distance. He Xianqiu looked closely and his pupils shrank.
The wild boar had strong limbs and a huge body. It stared at them fiercely with its eyes and ran towards them, charging forward.
He Xianqiu had never seen such a scene before. She was a little scared. She whispered, "Xiao Ji, there is a wild boar ahead."
She spoke softly, not daring to speak loudly for fear of angering the wild boar.
Ji Chenzhou knew it, of course. The wild boars made loud noises, but he still calmly comforted He Xianqiu: "Don't be afraid, just put the things down and leave it alone for now."
With Ji Chenzhou's comfort, although He Xianqiu was afraid, he felt a little more at ease.
She obediently put down the basket and looked up at Ji Chenzhou.
The wild boar saw them and ran towards them, so Ji Chenzhou decided to lure the wild boar away.
After all, it would be useless if he ran up with He Xianqiu. The wild boar was large in size and strong, so he would have no chance of winning with He Xianqiu.
Because he also had to divide his attention to take into account He Xianqiu's safety.
So he asked He Xianqiu to hide behind the tree. He looked at He Xianqiu and said in a deep voice, "You hide well. I will go and lure away the wild boar."
He Xianqiu wanted to shake her head and say no, it was too dangerous, but she seemed to realize that if the wild boar came over, she would definitely be a burden, so she could only nod heavily.
He Xianqiu watched Ji Chenzhou running in another direction with a sickle in his hand. The wild boar saw him and grunted and ran towards him.
He Xianqiu hid behind a tree, looking at Ji Chenzhou worriedly, his eyes fixed on him.
Ji Chenzhou was running very fast, but the wild boar ran towards him like crazy.
Seeing the wild boar getting closer and closer to Ji Chenzhou, He Xianqiu became nervous.
But Ji Chenzhou seemed to realize that the wild boar was about to catch up with him, so he changed direction and ran.
When he changed direction, He Xianqiu could no longer see him from his position.
Not being able to see him, He Xianqiu became even more nervous. The wild boar was big and strong, and it would take at least several strong men to control it.
Ji Chenzhou is alone, and no matter how strong he is, he is not as strong as a wild boar, so He Xianqiu is very worried about him.
He Xianqiu waited there for a long time. It was only a few minutes, but she felt so tormented, as if she was in another world.
On the other side, the wild boar kept chasing Ji Chenzhou, but Ji Chenzhou knew that running was not a solution.
If he is exhausted, he will not be able to control the wild boar, so he has to find an opportunity to deal with the wild boar.
He kept running and turned to look at the wild boar chasing him. It was running too fast and rushing forward.
And it seemed to become more and more irritable as it ran, and it kept humming.
Ji Chenzhou noticed that there was a big tree with lush branches and leaves in front of him. He calculated the distance and when there were about three meters left, he ran to the other side.
When the wild boar saw him change direction, it also wanted to turn and run in his direction.
But it is huge, bulky and inflexible, and it runs very fast, with its limbs rushing forward, and it cannot be stopped even with the brakes.
Its heavy body slammed into the tree, and a loud "bang" sound was heard in an instant. Even the tall tree was shaken by it, and a large number of leaves fell down, and even some branches fell off.
Just by listening to the sound, you can feel how painful the collision was. The person would be unconscious for at least a minute or two.
Ji Chenzhou needs just one or two minutes to get rid of the wild boar.
Otherwise, by the time the wild boar recovers, there will be no chance.
Ji Chenzhou walked towards the wild boar with a sickle in his hand. When the wild boar saw him coming, it glared at him and then looked at him warily.
Ji Chenzhou's eyes were indifferent, he went up and stabbed it with a knife, his movements were extremely fast.
The wild boar screamed in pain after being stabbed by the knife, and then looked at Ji Chenzhou with eyes full of anger, as if even its nostrils were spewing flames.
Then he snorted angrily and rushed towards Ji Chenzhou.
