Chapter 22: Walking into a Trap
"God of time travel, look, you are jealous that I lived such a happy life in my previous life, and you want to see how miserable I am in this life, right? But you forgot one thing, knowledge is power, knowledge is the capital to change my destiny, with knowledge, I will have wisdom, with knowledge capital, a wise mind, how can I do business at a loss, how can I be unhappy? Do you know where you lost? Haha! You lost because you kept my memories of my previous life, and the knowledge I learned in my previous life was not learned in vain. You regret it! Regret for letting me travel through time, hum! You envy me to live a life of parasites in the underworld, and make me travel through time to suffer, wishful thinking! Look, I am still living a good life now, with meat to eat every day, people outside can't even fill their stomachs, but I eat meat every day, so what, am I still very happy, jealous! Jealous! What can you do to me?"
Yike has been living in the forest for several months. There is no one to talk to, no one to communicate with, and he feels suffocated to death. So he never falls behind in his daily task of cursing the time-travel god.
The Great God of Time Travel:? ? ? ? ? ?
"Autumn is here, and it's getting cold so early in the mountains. Hehehehehe! Fortunately, my kudzu clothes are ready." Yi Ke muttered to himself as he put on his inner clothes and then covered himself with a kudzu clothes on the outside.
Kudzu clothes, as the name suggests, are clothes made of kudzu vines. Yike moved the kudzu vines from the orchard back to the cave like ants moving house. She put the kudzu vines into the pot and boiled them every day. After boiling, she rubbed them in water. She rubbed the boiled kudzu vine skin gently with her hands and the skin fell off. What was left in the water was the fiber. After washing it with water several times, the turbid water became clear and the water was white. This was the fiber she wanted. After the fibers are dried, they are twisted into ropes and knitted into clothes using sweater knitting made from four bamboo sticks. Just like that, the Kudzu clothes are completed.
Yike was happy for several days when she finished weaving her first kudzu shirt. During that time, she spent almost every day cutting kudzu vines, boiling kudzu vines, drying kudzu fibers, twisting fiber threads, weaving kudzu shirts and kudzu pants, and also weaving two pairs of shoes with kudzu fiber threads. The soles are made of wood. Without cloth, the soles cannot be made, so wood has to be used instead. These shoes can only be worn in caves. When going to the mountains, only straw sandals can be worn. The shoes that Yike was wearing when he escaped had already worn out. It's rotten, so let's prepare to make two pairs of leather shoes. We will use the animal skin like pangolin. She tried it and found it very strong and wear-resistant, so she kept it and prepared to make leather shoes. Since settling down in the cave, Yi Ke has been busy every day. In the summer, he is busy looking for wild vegetables to transplant, busy picking herbs to transplant, and busy harvesting peaches in the orchard to make dried peaches.
The method of making dried peaches is very simple. Peel the peaches, cut them into pieces, pour them into boiling water, and then take them out and dry them after they are cooked. The dried peaches can be stored for a long time. They can be eaten as snacks or as meals in the mountains. Because it doesn’t contain sugar, it’s not very sweet, but she is still very satisfied. Be content with what you have!
Now that autumn has come, Yike has become even busier, running around like a top every day. The pears, grapes and apricots in the orchard need to be picked, the peppers and peppercorns in the pepper garden can be collected, and the sweet potatoes in the sweet potato field can be dug. She doesn't want to waste the sweet potato vines, so she keeps them to feed the pigs in the winter. We also need to prepare a lot of firewood for winter...
So, the apricots were cooked and dried into dried apricots; the grapes were picked and dried into raisins, and the pears were also dried into dried pears. Anything that can be solved with the help of solar energy, you can just use the sun to dry it and eat it in the winter. Hehe, it's so sweet!
"Master of time travel, you are this..." Yike stretched out his finger and pointed downwards, haha! I despise you!
The Great God of Traveling:…
The peppers grown in the pepper garden are the kind of long peppers. The bright red peppers hang on the branches like long hooks, hidden in the dense green leaves. I picked these ripe peppers and put them in my backpack, filling up half of the basket. As for the chili peppers that Yi Ke had been longing for, she immediately fried some dried chili peppers and ground them into powder after picking them. She then put them in a bamboo tube and called it a secret weapon.
There are only five Sichuan pepper trees in the chili garden, growing on a hillside. The pepper fruits are small and grow in bunches like small cherries. The ripe pepper fruits are bright red, like red spiders dotted on the pepper trees. First, pick the ripe peppercorns and put them in bamboo tubes. There are not many peppercorns, and only five bamboo tubes are full. It’s a pity that there is not enough peppercorns, because peppercorns can not only be used as seasoning to make dishes more fragrant and increase appetite, but can also be used as medicine to kill bacteria, disinfect, and repel mosquitoes. If we had more, we could make more mosquito repellents. Mosquitoes are the most common insects in these mountains.
Although the wild ginger in the pepper garden has matured, I am too busy, so I just let it stay hidden in the ground.
The chestnuts on Chestnut Hill are also ripe. Since the chestnut started to bear fruit, it has been wearing a special coat. The reason why it is special is that this coat is full of sharp thorns like sewing needles, and the chestnut fruits are hiding in this coat. Even if the king of beasts comes, he can't do anything to it. Even the famous thief, the mouse, can't steal from it. The chestnut fruit is golden yellow, and the raw flesh is sweet and fragrant. The whole chestnut is a treasure and can be made into nutritious foods such as chestnut powder, chestnut paste, pastries, and canned foods. So Yike particularly liked chestnuts. She moved them back to the cave little by little like a squirrel. There was a pile of chestnuts not far from the firewood pile in the cave. The chestnut shells are too hard, so just leave them alone for now. Anyway, the cave is cool and won’t get damaged.
Yi Ke went to the sweet potato field. The sweet potato vines in the field were a little dry, so Yi Ke cut the vines and tied them up in bunches. These vines can also be used to feed pigs, so they cannot be wasted. In some places in the field where the sweet potato vines had been cut off, half of the sweet potato's face was exposed. Sweet potatoes were really dug out from the sweet potato field, so the name of this place no longer needed to be changed. When Yike dug out the sweet potatoes, she jumped for joy. She danced around holding the sweet potatoes, shouting that she wanted to roast the sweet potatoes, boil them, fry sweet potato pancakes, etc. She also sang "Sweet potato, sweet potato, I love you!" What a crazy girl!
Some of the vegetables in the Baicao Garden were ripe, so Yi Ke cut them and dried them; some medicinal herbs were also harvested. She also made a special bamboo rack to place the herbs, because the herbs cannot be piled together and must be placed in different categories.
One busy autumn day can make you happy and worried. The good thing is that all kinds of food are prepared, so I don’t have to worry about being hungry in the winter; the worry is that I don’t have enough clothes for the winter. Although I used the fibers from kudzu vines to weave two pieces of clothing and two pairs of trousers, they were thin. There was no cotton, no thick clothes, and no quilt. It was a miserable winter! It would be great if we had large animal fur so we could make leather clothes.
The happiest thing for Yike every day now is to visit her family members: twenty-five adult chickens, thirty half-grown young chickens, a lamb, a mother wild boar and five little wild boars.
This mother pig and her family of five are still a joke. Speaking of this joke, it all starts with Dad Pig.
"Oh, it's another sunny day!" Yike stood on the cliff platform that day, watching the sun gradually come out and rise higher and higher. Somehow, at that moment, she was particularly excited and couldn't help singing a song:
The sun is out, Luoer, I am so happy
Lang Luo, pick up the carrying pole and pull it
Light pull, up the hill Ororo
Holding a Luoer in his hand, a mountain axe
Lang Luo, not afraid of tigers, leopards, wolves and wolves
The cliffs are steep and steep, and I don't care about the
Langluo, busy chopping wood, Ouluo
…
Carrying a backpack, a machete, and a hoe on his shoulder, you can tell what Yi Ke is going to do by looking at his outfit - digging traps.
Yes, she was going to dig a big trap and prepare a gift for the wild boar. "Haha, fellow wild boars please give me some face. My leather jacket is relying on you. Be generous and come to my pit obediently!" She showed the face of a wolf grandmother. The place they were going to this time was deep in Longshan Mountain. She had lived here for so long, but she seldom went deep into it. She didn't want to risk her life.
Yi Ke explored forward cautiously, walking, stopping, listening, and looking, but he did not find any hoof prints of large animals along the way. There were no other broken branches, but I did find some chicken droppings or bird droppings.
As she walked, Yike discovered that the trees were very large and the bark on some of the trunks was rotten, as if they had been gnawed by some animals. She immediately stopped moving forward because this looked like the marks of a wild boar, so she began to dig a large pit here that was more than one meter long and about two meters deep.
Yike was thinking this way: What if animals like wild boars and wild sheep just wanted to wander around the outskirts and just happened to fall into the trap? And there are obvious signs of wild boars here.
Yi Ke was digging the hole with a fluke mentality. Just after he finished digging and before he had time to disguise himself, he heard a "grunting" sound. He looked up and saw something terrible! A wild boar weighing at least 300 pounds rushed towards her. She was stunned for a moment, "No way, what a coincidence, just when I thought about it, the food delivery guy came."
The wild boar might have thought that Yi Ke was provoking it. In order to show that its authority could not be violated, it ignored the big pit in front of Yi Ke and rushed straight towards her, wanting to cut her into pieces.
With a "plop", the big wild boar fell straight down. A wild boar and several little ones that rushed out right after it also fell into the pit. Yi Ke came to his senses and looked at the big and small wild boars in the pit with both laughter and tears.
Yi Ke used a hoe to knock the largest wild boar unconscious, and then used a sharpened bamboo stick to poke the wild boar's neck hard. Wild boars have thick skin, and it took Yi Ke a long time to poke the big wild boar to death. One could guess that this should be a family. The dad pig might have taken the mom pig and the kids out for an outing, but she ruined the atmosphere, so the dad pig got so angry that he was ready to kill her. Unexpectedly, Yi Ke outwitted him. Later, whenever I saw the pigs of all sizes in this circle, my heart was filled with joy. It seems that she still has a lucky golden finger. When she thinks about pork, the pigs will fall into her trap and deliver the food to her door. Haha! In the future, please curse less the time-travel god.
