my angel

Chapter 42

Huahua didn't dare to go up, so He Qinghuan had no choice but to put her in the mountaineering bag, leaving only one ventilation hole.

This time was completely different from the previous riding experience. The raft was bumping in the waves at a high speed. The people on the raft were all tightly grasping the ash sticks below, and no one dared to relax.

Huahua kept twisting and turning in her mountaineering bag, yelling uneasily, asking He Qinghuan to let her out.

Who can take care of her at this time.

After landing on the shore, He Qinghuan immediately released Huahua on the ground and led her. Huahua has gained several kilograms in the past few days, and she has already weighed about [-] kilograms. Who would love to carry her on her back?

Only then did Bai Fucheng tell him that when he was in the village just now, there was a sheepskin raft carrying a warrior woman, and the livestock and bacon were washed away by the rapids.

He Qinghuan sighed, and Bai Fucheng put his arms around his shoulders to comfort him.

Survival in primitive society is the same as performing missions in the army, and perhaps there will be no news after this visit.

The group of less than 300 people who crossed the river were all young men and women with dozens of children.

It's elite.

The speed of advancement is much faster than that of the large troops.

After walking for a short time, I found that there was an alluvial plain at the corner of the river at the foot of the mountain, which was not too big and had an area of ​​more than ten hectares.

Dry reeds, cattail grass, and dried stalks of taro trembled in the wind.

It is estimated that a taro rushed to the ground one day and took root. After a long time, this large area was reproduced.

He Qinghuan rushed over: "We have something to eat in winter."

Bai Fucheng: "What is this?"

He Qinghuan: "You don't know what he is?"

"I recognize the pole of the lotus root because of the thorns on it. I really don't recognize this one."

He Qinghuan gave him a blank look: "Let the troops set up camp, and all dig this. When the ground freezes, they won't be able to dig."

Bai Fucheng immediately ordered to go down, the women set up camp, and the men began to dig the same poles as the envoy.

The crowd dug out a large, black, hairy mass in the soil. "What is this? Can it be eaten?"

And itchy hands.

The God Envoy commanded: "If your hands are itchy, go do other work, cut reeds and weave thick mats. If your hands are not itchy, continue digging."

Bai Fucheng came back and saw: "Isn't this taro?"

He Qinghuan kept working under him, slightly sarcastic: "Don't you also recognize this?"

Bai Fucheng smiled embarrassedly: "Didn't I just see it in the market? I really haven't seen it in the field."

He Qinghuan said: "There are so many, we must dig them out before the freeze, but we can't take them away.

Store in place.Dig a big hole in the ground, I think this place is easy to dig. "

Bai Fucheng patted his chest: "I can dig cellars."

He Qinghuan said: "Okay, then you go digging, find a place at the foot of the mountain that is leeward and facing the sun."

Huahua ran over, jumped over, and was not interested in smelling the dark things.

He Qinghuan called Bai Fucheng who was leaving, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

"I know." Bai Fucheng replied from a distance.

Everyone was engaged in the work of harvesting taro. Bai Fucheng took the man who was allergic to taro to dig the cellar, the rest of the men and women dug taro, the children harvested rushes and reeds, and a dozen women were in charge of logistics, setting up tents, and hunting. , lighting fires, cooking, and watching very young children.

Around evening, He Qinghuan returned to the tent and taught the woman how to stew meat with taro.

Fresh meat, no matter mutton, pork, beef, any meat is fine, eat what you can get.

Skim the foam from the white boiled meat, remove it, and fry the meat and peeled and cut taro in the boiled white oil.

Then put them in a pot and stew together, put the water for cooking the meat just now, put the seasoning, and put the small pieces of bacon made in the morning.

Do not add water in the middle, cook once.

Too bad there was no soy sauce, it was white.

The woman followed his example and peeled the taro. Some people are allergic, and it's okay. After a long time of exposure, the allergy will disappear.

The woman chirped: "I didn't expect such a long-haired and ugly thing to be white inside."

"It's called people can't be judged by their appearance, and sea water can't be measured."

"What do you mean you can't judge people by their appearance?"

"It's just that people can't just look at their looks, they have to look at their hearts."

"Yes, yes."

"What is God Envoy Da Renhai?"

"The sea is very big and the lake is so big that you can't see the edge. But the sea water is salty, and the lake is fresh."

"This taro is so hard, are the gray spots inside okay?"

"It's okay. This shows that this taro is very good. We harvested it at the right time, when it has the most starch in the year."

"My lord, why do taro and sweet potatoes grow differently? They both grow in the soil."

"They are different varieties and have different tastes. There is also something that grows in the soil called potatoes, which are also delicious."

. . . . . . . . .

The warriors worked hard for a while in the darkening evening, and came back only after smelling the scent from the tent.

Wow, this is meaty, so soft, so slippery, so glutinous, it would be great if my parents could eat it.

Warriors also like to eat meaty taro.

The reason they don't like to eat green vegetables is because they don't have a meaty taste, but the taro is full of the umami and salty taste of the gravy, not to mention how delicious it is.

After being fried again, the aroma of the oil is unmatched by anything.

Don't say that fried food is unhealthy, these primitive people lack the nourishment of oil, it doesn't matter to eat some fried food.The amount of exercise is huge, and it is all consumed.

This meal, everyone ate to their hearts' content, taro is really a good thing.

The northwest wind blew all night, and the sky became darker and thicker.

The next day, some warriors went to dig the cellar, and the prey also shot ten gazelles, antelopes, and impalas of different sizes. The hares stopped and hurriedly dug taro.

Huahua went to make trouble in the food department where the prey was processed, and wanted to eat raw meat, but He Qinghuan fed the cooked bones by his side and gnawed slowly.

The woman digs taro with her child on her back, and He Qinghuan organizes a temporary kindergarten.

Because the children here can help adults with work at the age of five, about 30 children under the age of five were allowed to watch over the two aunts, freeing their mothers to concentrate on work.

The older children helped to pick up the taro and put them in the baskets, and the adults dug them, and they were responsible for the transportation. They had already worked for half a day yesterday, and they continued to do it today. They are much more proficient in their business.

Bai Fucheng dug two large pits five meters by two meters by one meter.

There is no iron yet, but the primitive people had a kind of hardwood like iron wood, which was very hard. Usually, each person held a spear made of this kind of wood.

Now digging pits with wider shovels made of iron wood is not slow. The power of more than 250 people is amazing, especially when you find something good to eat.

It's a life-threatening job.

The weather was also unstable, and the overwhelming momentum of the dark clouds also made everyone step up.

In the evening, they hadn't collected half of them yet, and they didn't feel tired. They just felt that it was a pity that there were still so many things that hadn't been harvested.

He Qinghuan decided to dig out two ten-cubic-meter cellars tomorrow. If it really snowed heavily, the road would be even more difficult.

He has asked the warrior who led the way in detail, and he only needs to go around this mountain ridge to get inside.

This ridge is curved, with mountains to the north and west, the mountains to the north are higher, and the mountains to the west are lower.

There is a gap in the upper half of the mountain ridge in the west, which is relatively short and they turned over here, but it is relatively steep.

It would be difficult to pass with livestock and luggage.

You can only go south along the mountain ridge in the west, and go around halfway up the mountain in the south.

Because there are many ferocious giant beasts living on the grassland on the other side of the mountain ridge, they can only sneak past under the cover of the woods on the mountainside with woods.

After arriving there, the mountain ridge in the west is divided into two mountains from southwest to northeast. The outer mountain ridge is higher, which is the mountain ridge you see now, and the inner ridge facing the grassland is shorter.

Two mountain ridges form a long and narrow valley, about ten miles long.

There is another canyon in the north-south direction at one-third of the canyon exit. This canyon is very short and wide, and belongs to the branches of the same canyon.

The exit of the canyon is at the northwest corner of the entire large arc-shaped mountain range, halfway up the mountain, surrounded by trees and rocks.

As long as people are sent out at the entrance of the canyon to guard against thorns, a relatively safe camp can be created.

This canyon can be temporarily used to spend the winter and hide from wild animals.

There is a mountain between this gorge and the taro cellar. It is very convenient to come over the mountain to dig taro.

He Qinghuan has roughly designed the construction of the canyon based on the description, and lamented that everything must have a handy tool.

During the evening party, the leaders Chunshan, Tamkun Xiaohua, and Shishi were all there, and everyone knew his thinking.

Use branches on the ground to explain design concepts and engineering principles while drawing.

If there is something wrong or unclear, communicate with each other, so that if you work together, the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.

A hut similar to the hobbit in Lord of the Rings, warm in winter and cool in summer.

Half of it is underground, the top is supported by tree stumps, and the surrounding stones are trimmed by the mountain. The roof is made of interlaced trees, covered with thick mats made of reeds and thatch, and the outside is covered with stone chips and then smeared with mud.

It is generally the design concept, and the specific situation will have to wait until we enter the canyon to see the actual situation.
