Not too satisfied, but it’s better than nothing. The most important thing is to fill my stomach first!
There was a rustling sound beside his ears, and Qiao Xin turned his head to see a fat squirrel collecting nuts not far away. When he saw him looking over, the nuts in his hand fell to the ground with a snap. Then he jumped up the tree to watch.
On the hundred-meter-long grassland, fat pheasants with their families were leisurely foraging for food.
Qiao Xin swallowed her saliva, and the wild chestnuts that she was originally planning to feed into her mouth suddenly changed direction.
“Swoosh~~~”
“Swoosh~~~”
………
Li Zi hit the target with one strike, and after five or six of his companions fell, the pheasants finally realized that the guy not far away was an enemy, not a friend, and was coming to destroy the pheasants. With a swish, there was no living creature left on the grass!
She stood up and put the pheasant into the bamboo basket, then grabbed a few handfuls of dry pine needles and put them on top to cover the traces.
Although it was his first time going into the mountains and he was in poor health, Qiao Xin was already very satisfied with the harvest.
There are only a few wild chestnut trees here. However, in autumn and winter, large animals frequently appear, and villagers will not go up the mountain unless they have to. Wild chestnuts fall down one after another after they open their mouths, and no one cares about them. They were originally the food for the pine trees, but now they are all cheap to Qiao Xin.
She picked up a bunch of intact wild chestnuts under the tree and ate them as she went along. When her stomach felt full, she wrapped the rest in large leaves and put them in a bamboo basket. Chestnuts were the perfect partner for stewed chicken.
The deeper she went into the mountains, the more lush the vegetation became. Her feet made rustling sounds on the thick dead leaves and vines. Insects that used the fallen leaves as their home fled in all directions. She was alert to the sudden appearance of large animals while observing the common creatures on this road. She collected all kinds of fungus, wild fruits, and medicinal herbs until the bamboo basket could no longer hold them.
Forget it. Next time I come, I will call the eldest and third sons together. The three brothers have learned martial arts from their grandfather. They have plenty of strength. It would be a waste if they don't use it. The original owner has always been too cautious and protective of his children, which has hindered them from displaying their abilities.
Qiao Xin found a lot of calamus and cattails by the stream in the forest. She thought that few adults and children in her family wore shoes, and cattails could be used to make straw sandals, so she decided not to go any further.
She cut some slender vines and tied a large bundle of cattails. After shaking it and feeling that she could still bear it, she placed it on the bamboo basket and fixed it in place. Then she carried the basket on her back, her small body almost submerged under the cattails. She began to walk back, taking one deep step and one shallow step.
Qiao Xin gritted her teeth and persisted, but her body had been hungry for a long time and she had been sick again, so she had not yet fully recovered. She had the strength in her body but might not be able to use it. At this moment, she was supported by a belief.
Next time, next time, make sure you eat a full meal before exercising!
