Chapter 24: Abundant harvest
The three people and the dog continued walking forward, and finally found a pool covered with animal footprints.
After a lot of work, a trap was finally dug near noon. Due to time constraints, a few nooses were placed in suitable places around the area. Yang Yun took a deep look at the pool before leaving behind Yang Qinglin and Yang Qingsen.
It was a hot summer day, and even though we were in the mountains and forests, Yang Yun was still sweating profusely from the heat.
We found a ventilated and cool place, and the three of us rested and had something to eat.
…
"Woof woof woof" Xiaobai rushed over.
Seeing the thing wrapped around Xiaobai's body, Yang Yun's scalp went numb and she quickly said, "Xiaobai, don't come over, don't come over..."
As he spoke, he jumped into Yang Qinglin's arms like a kangaroo.
Wrapped around Xiao Bai's body was a dark blue snake as thick as a child's wrist.
In her past and present life, Yang Yun was most afraid of this kind of mollusk.
Sensing Yang Yun's fear, Yang Qinglin comforted him, "Don't be afraid, he's already dead." After comforting Yang Yun, he told Yang Qingsen, "Sen'er, go put it in a bag."
Yang Qinglin and Yang Qingsen are not afraid of snakes, and they are still dead snakes.
Yang Qingsen took the two-meter-long snake from Xiaobai's body and grinned happily, "It's so long and thick, I think I can sell it for some copper coins when I get it to Jirentang..."
Xiaobai seemed to understand the situation in front of him.
After screaming a few times in grievance, he waited until the snake on his body was gone before he came to Yang Yun who had landed on the ground, biting Yang Yun's trouser leg and motioned to follow him.
The three of them followed Xiaobai for a while before Xiaobai stopped.
When Yang Qinglin looked at the small fiery red fruits on the plants in front of him, his breathing became rapid.
"Ginseng."
In her previous life, Yang Yun had watched a video of digging ginseng, and she had a deep memory of the fiery red fruit.
I was also sure that the thing in front of me was ginseng.
…
The rock crevice was remote and shady. The three of them checked the surroundings carefully and started digging after finding that there was no danger.
Yang Yun and Yang Qinglin didn't have much experience digging ginseng, but they knew not to break the roots. They took away the gravel piece by piece and started digging the mud carefully.
After what felt like a long time, a ginseng that was full of roots and looked as thick as a thumb was dug out.
Because of the careful digging, the roots are well preserved.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. There was nothing gained today. With this ginseng, the trip to the mountain was worth it.
Xiaobai, who was praised by Yang Yun, ran away happily again.
"Xiao Bai, don't run too far, we're going to check the traps and we're about to return..." Yang Yun shouted towards the blurred Bai Ying.
When Yang Yun and others arrived not far from the trap, they saw Little White running towards this side in a panic, with a crazy wild boar chasing behind him.
At this situation, Yang Yun swallowed her saliva and said to Yang Qinglin and Yang Qingsen, who also had their eyes widened in shock, "Xiaobai dares to provoke anyone."
Seeing that the wild boar was about to catch up with Xiaobai, Yang Yun was extremely nervous.
Yang Yun glanced at the larger trap not far away and made up her mind. Regardless of Yang Qinglin's objection, she stood opposite the trap and waved towards Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, lure it over here..."
Xiaobai realized that he had done something wrong and was about to run in another direction. When he heard Yang Yun's cry, he turned around and ran over.
The crazy wild boar followed directly.
"Ouch!" With the wild boar's scream, Xiaobai and Yang Yun's crisis was resolved.
This trap was intended to catch larger animals, so the trap was dug a bit deep, and the ground was full of sharpened sticks.
After waiting for a while, there was no sound from the trap. Yang Yun slowly approached the trap and saw that the wild boar had made no sound.
The wild boar has rough skin and thick flesh, and it scratches on the trees all the year round. The body is covered with pine oil. Normally, such a trap cannot be fatal.
However, it was just a coincidence that a big stone slipped from the side of the trap and hit the wild boar's weakest part - above the middle of its eyes.
I didn't expect that the big rocks, which were not cleaned because of their weight and Yang Yun's laziness, would be such a big help.
It took a lot of effort for the three of them to pull the wild boar out of the trap.
"Second brother, how can we go back?"
Looking at the "behemoth", Yang Yun was a little worried about how to get it back.
And this is also the outskirts. They have to leave quickly. It won't be nice if the smell of blood attracts other large animals.
"Don't worry, I have a solution. Just wait." Yang Qinglin smiled slightly and turned around to go to the jungle on the side. He only heard the snapping sound of branches breaking.
Yang Yun and Yang Qingsen took advantage of this time to check the noose, and luckily, a pheasant was caught in the noose.
After a while, Yang Qinglin came back with a "big tail" behind him, and Yang Yun and Yang Qingsen also restored the noose to its original state.
"Use this, but the speed is slower. It will probably be dark when we get home," Yang Qinglin said.
Isn't this just a simple version of a sledge? It's quite strong.
The three of them worked together to get the 200-pound wild boar onto the sledge, and tied the wild boar firmly to the sledge with vines.
There was nothing missing in the jungle but grass. The sledge slid effortlessly on the grass. Yang Qinglin tied a rope and Yang Qingsen tied the snake bag around his waist and pulled up a rope. The two worked together.
The sledge was pulled without much effort.
Yang Yun, carrying a basket containing hares and pheasants, and a basket containing mushrooms and bupleurum, walked in front, leading the two of them downhill.
Xiao Bai may have had enough fun and obediently opened the way in front of Yang Yun.
Except for Yang Qinglin and Yang Qingsen, who struggled a little at the beginning, the rest of the time was as easy as walking with their hands waving.
Although it was easy, Yang Qinglin and Yang Qingsen were still tired after walking for a while, and the three of them stopped.
Yang Yun took advantage of the two of them to rest and prepared to find a place to use the toilet.
Looking at the familiar plant in front of her and the red fruit, Yang Yun could not help secreting saliva in her mouth.
She actually found a patch of wild strawberries.
Strawberries are one of her favorite fruits.
Yang Yun couldn't wait to pick a few thumb-sized wild strawberries and stuffed them into her mouth without washing them.
The fragrance of strawberry, the sour and sweet taste instantly fills the nose and mouth.
"It's a pity. There are a lot of wild strawberry seedlings, but not many are mature. Otherwise, it would be a good source of income to sell them to rich people in the town..."
Yang Yun said with regret while picking wild strawberries.
Suddenly, Yang Yun seemed to think of something. Her movement of picking wild strawberries stopped, and she straightened up her bent waist, with a hint of excitement on her face.
After checking his surroundings, with a thought, a simple wooden water sprinkler appeared in his hand out of thin air.
This was specially made by Yang Yun in order to facilitate the growth of Bupleurum and mushrooms in the space.
After watering, the white fruits on the wild strawberry seedlings instantly grew larger and turned red...
