Food in the Song Dynasty: My System Connects Mountains and Seas

Chapter 189 Survival in the Wilderness
It's just that the problem before her now is that she won't be able to go out until a month later, the system is gone, and the visual panel can't be opened, so what can she use to store the grass.

If the grass is pulled down now, she estimates that within three days, the grass and fruits will all wither and rot unless it is dried in the sun.However, she really didn't know how much of the medicinal properties could be preserved after drying.

Another one, although the appearance of this grass is very similar to the Yao grass described in the book, but as to whether it is real Yao grass or not.
Without a system to identify her, she was somewhat worried.

After all, there are many similar things in this world. I heard that some medicinal materials are similar in appearance, but their medicinal properties are very different.

After hesitating for a moment, she didn't rush to remove the grass, but chose to continue wandering in search of a hiding place.

In her opinion, the grass won't grow long anyway, so it's better to let it continue to grow, and wait until the day I really want to go out, so as to keep it fresh and don't have to run around with it on my back. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.

Maybe God really blessed her. Two quarters of an hour later, Wen Shu saw a dark and insincere hole more than ten zhang diagonally across from Yaocao.

Most of the entrance of the cave is covered by weeds, leaving only a tiny gap to remind people of its existence. If Wen Shu hadn't accidentally stepped on a part of the weeds at the entrance of the cave, they might have missed it.

Pushing away all the withered grass at the entrance of the cave, Wen Shu cautiously peeked inside.

The height of the cave is slightly higher than hers, but the depth is very long. The bright sun can only shine two feet into the entrance of the cave, and then it is wet and damp, and there is a foul smell overflowing.

The smell of feces and urine proves that wild animals have stayed in it, but I don't know if there are any more in it now?

After a moment of silence, Wen Shu picked up all the grass at the entrance of the cave and tied it into a bunch, then ignited it with a torch and threw it in.The flames were blazing, instantly illuminating the dark cave.

Wen Shu looked inside by the light of the fire, but saw that the inside was empty, and there was no worrisome beast sleeping soundly as he imagined, but there were a lot of wild animal feces piled up on the ground near the inside.

She frowned. She didn't know whether the excrement was left by passing wild animals. Or the cave already had an owner, and the "owner" just went out temporarily.

After hesitating for a moment, she turned her heart away and let it go!After finally finding a place that can shelter from the wind and rain, let's clear it out first.

As for the method of clearing the hole.
In the absence of brooms and dustpans, it can only be burned with fire.Fire can not only roast the cave to remove moisture, but also force out the bugs hidden in the corners and crevices.

After making up his mind, Wen Shu hurriedly turned around and began to pull the grass. Although it is autumn, not all the grass is withered and yellow, most of them are mixed with green and yellow.

Wen Shu picked up the withered roots and pulled them up, then gathered them into a pile.After making up more than ten piles, they moved them all into the hole, scattered them, and then went outside to find some fire-resistant twigs, and spread them layer by layer.

She didn't light the fire until every inch of the cave was filled with dry grass and twigs.

Not long after the fire started, all kinds of small insects rushed out, including a centipede with a length of one foot, a snake with a length of three feet, and a group of small insects that could not be named.

Wen Shu, who saw it from a distance, was secretly glad that it was smoked with fire, otherwise no matter what bites her, it would be enough for her.

A quarter of an hour later, the fire was extinguished, and Wen Shu went in to have a look. At this time, the inside was much drier than before, except that the manure had not been completely burnt to ashes, and there was still a faint smell permeating the air.

The cave is about two feet (6 meters) deep and only three feet wide. It is really narrow and long.Seeing this, Wen Shu had no choice but to go out again and gather some grass and branches to sprinkle on the excrement, and then lit the fire again.

After going back and forth like this for two or three times, the hole is considered to be truly clean, and the feces are also turned into black ash and melted into the plant ash.

After finishing these, the sun was already approaching noon, feeling the hunger coming from his belly, Wen Shu hurriedly returned to the stream.

Beside the boulder, the fat-stealing bird, which was dozing with its head curled up, heard the movement, and quickly opened its eyes a little, but when it saw an acquaintance, it closed its eyes again, and fell asleep with all its heart.

Wen Shu smiled, walked over and turned over the slightly curled slices of meat, then touched the fat stealing bird's head, and then lit the fire again to roast the meat.

She struggled to survive on her side, running around for the night's "accommodation". On the other side of the real world, Father Wen was guarding the city gate early in the morning.As soon as the city gate opened, he rushed to the tea shed without touching the ground.

Mrs. Zhao always got up early, but when she arrived at the tea shed today, she found that the owner came earlier than her, and she couldn't help being surprised: "Master, why are you here, where is the little owner?"

"Miss Zhao, let me ask you, did Ah Ning come to the tea shed yesterday?" Father Wen asked anxiously.

"No, I haven't seen him all day yesterday. What's the matter? What happened to the little boss?" Mrs. Zhao saw that there was something wrong with Father Wen, so she hurriedly asked.

"she"

Father Wen hesitated to speak, looking at Mrs. Zhao wondering whether to say or not, her daughter did not come home overnight, naturally, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, after all, what people say is true.

He can trust the Sun family, and won't talk nonsense outside. Although this Mrs. Zhao in front of him is a nice person, she has little contact with her after all.
"What's the matter? The boss should tell you quickly." Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Lady Zhao became anxious instead.

She couldn't help but think of the Scythe Gang who came here to make trouble not long ago.

Seeing that she was in a hurry, she seemed to really care about Ah Ning, and thought that she and Ah Ning would always be together, so she might know something, so she told the truth.

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, her complexion turned pale, and she said in a hateful voice: "It's the Scythe Gang, that group must have kidnapped my little boss. My boss, hurry up and report to the authorities."

Hearing this, Father Wen hurriedly asked what was going on.

Mrs. Zhao had nothing to hide, and she answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Father Wen's face was extremely ugly. After asking about the usual whereabouts of the Scythe Gang and the forces behind it, he hurried back to the city newspaper officer.

The soldiers guarding the county government frowned when they heard his report, and then said they knew it, and asked them to go back and wait for news, and they would send people to investigate.

Father Wen was anxious about his daughter's safety, seeing that the yamen servants were not concerned at all, and then thinking of Mrs. Zhao saying that the head of the sickle gang had a relationship with Zhou Butou of the yamen, he thought of something, and secretly gave the yamen servant a consistent Jiaozi then inadvertently asked how many arresters there were in the yamen and what their surnames were.

The yamen servant who received the money was actually the person who caught the head of Zhou, but to take advantage of the person, there must be no leaks.In addition, what this person asked was not a confidential matter, it was just a conversation.

Then he said truthfully: "There are two people in total, one surnamed Zhou and the other surnamed Jin, as usual in your case, it is usually Zhou who takes the lead.

"Hey, hey, thank you little brother, I don't know if Zhou Butou is in the yamen now?"

"I haven't gone to the court yet. When the head catcher arrives, I will tell him. You should go back and wait for the news."

Father Wen originally thought that if Catcher Zhou was in the yamen, he would rather spend some money to invite him to come out to see him, and then give him some money so that he can be flexible, go to the sickle gang to negotiate a deal, and release her daughter. up.

Hearing what the yamen servant said at this time, although he was anxious in his heart, he nodded with an apologetic smile on his face.But when he turned around, he didn't go home, but went down the steps and squatted at the gate of the government office, wanting to wait for that Zhou Butou to come and explain clearly in person.
