Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 8 Pause
It's getting dark, and there are often large beasts in the Beishan forest, which is no different from the primeval forest.

Firewood will scare off most beasts, so make sure you have enough firewood to last you all night.

The severe drought brought about a severe water shortage, and many of the big trees in the forest were withered, and they were dying at any point. While guarding against wild animals, they also had to prevent forest fires. The couple were so busy that they had no time to rest.

Xu Da cut firewood, and Wang built a firebreak around the mountain wall. When it was completely dark, the whole family nested in the mountain wall.

This mountain wall is a large raised rock, interlaced with the slope, forming a natural small depression.

The depression is about three meters deep, and there are small slopes on the left and right sides, which just give Xu Yue's family a simple shelter.

After a day's driving, they finally got a moment of rest. Except for Xu Yue, the whole family was exhausted and paralyzed.

Although Xu Yue is small, it is still possible to do some hot water and hot meals.

The clay pot brought by the family was too big to be used in the narrow mountain wall.Fortunately, there were mountains and rocks all around, so Xu Yue could easily find a flat rock.

Put the stone in the fire until it is boiling hot, pull it out with a branch, and then put the bamboo tube filled with water on the stone, and the water inside will heat up quickly.

Rice balls and barbecue cubes are prepared in the same way, but two extra leaves are added to avoid burning and eating ashes.

The green snake that was torn up by Mrs. Wang was non-poisonous and was supposed to be an extra meal tonight. Who would have thought that Mrs. Wang had accidentally torn the gallbladder of the snake? corpse.

After eating hot water and warm food, although the rice balls were still unpalatable, the barbecue improved the taste buds, and the family's energy and spirit were restored.

Sitting in front of the fire, Mrs. Wang polished the branches she had just cut, planning to make a small crutch for Xu Erniang and Xu Yue, and polished the wooden arrowheads in her hand by the way.

Given the Xu family's standard of living, iron arrowheads were not available, and the arrow in Wang's hand was a straight, slender, pure wooden arrow.

Such an arrow looks like a toy in the hands of a child, and was secretly ridiculed by Xu Da at that time.

But after seeing Wang's precision and strength later, Xu Da shut up.

Such arrows may be toys in the hands of others, but in the hands of Wang, they are killer weapons.

This woman's hand is steady and accurate, throwing arrows with her hand can directly hit the eyes of the running prey, basically killing them with one blow.

These are just wooden arrows. If they were replaced with real arrows, how amazing would the lethality be?

Xu Da shook his head, still unable to imagine what kind of scene it was.

Looking at the little water and food left in the basket, he only felt a headache.

The food is good. He has been to this mountain twice with Wang, and there are many animals in the forest. With his and Wang's strength, it is not difficult to get prey.

But there are only two canisters of water left, which is faster than originally expected.

This is a very helpless reality. Today I was in a hurry and the sun was shining. Er Niang alone drank half a bottle of water.

Mrs. Wang is very generous to the children, giving them a drink when they are thirsty, consuming it without restraint, and Xu Da thinks it is a miracle that there are still two bottles of water left.

Turning her head to look at Wang Shi, she was polishing an arrow against the flames, she cut off a large part of her long hair, and the rest was coiled on top of her head, fixed with a sharpened branch, her thin cheeks were tightly collapsed Standing, serious and focused.

The firelight softened the edges and corners of her cheeks that had been thinned by hunger, revealing a kind of quiet gentleness in her whole body.

"Is there any water near here?" Xu Da unconsciously lowered his voice, fearing that this rare peace would be destroyed.

Without raising her head, Wang nodded lightly, "Going deeper, there is a natural pond."

Hearing this, Xu Da finally let go of half of his heart.As long as there is water.

But thinking of the situation at the bottom of the mountain, he still tentatively said: "There is water and prey here. If the situation at the bottom of the mountain is not good, why don't we live in the mountain for a while?"

Wang's hands paused, looked up at him, knowing that he had good intentions, and didn't hit him directly, and patiently explained:
"The pond here is not deep, and no one knows when it will dry up, and there are no habitable caves here. When the temperature drops in winter, the situation will definitely be worse than we imagined."

This is a completely unknown new world, and all the information they can obtain comes from the memories left by the original body.

And in the memory of the original owner, winter is a terrible season, the kind that kills people!

So they must find a safe place to stay before winter.

Xu Da looked down at his patched linen clothes, then at the straw sandals under his feet that were on the verge of being scrapped, and fell silent.

After a while, he returned to the mountain depression, took out two specially picked fish-shaped stones from his chest pocket, and used his feet to scrape away the weeds under his feet to make a small open space, and began to divination.

When in doubt, just look at metaphysics!
Xu Yue couldn't remember how long she hadn't washed her hair, her head was itchy badly, she stared at the superstitious daddy there for a long time without making any splashes, she looked away, and shouted to Wang outside the cave:
"Mother, I want to shave my head!"

Seeing how uncomfortable she was scratching her head, Mrs. Wang beckoned Xu Yue to come to her side, loosened her bun, scratched her for her, and coaxed:
"Tomorrow there will be water to wash your hair, so bear with it, little girls are cuter if they braid their hair, so we young girls won't shave their heads, okay?"

Looking at Xu Yue's little bun face, Wang will subconsciously forget that she is not a real doll, and coax her like a child, and she is extremely patient.

Xu Yue didn't really want to become bald, and A Niang helped her scratch her head to relieve her, so she nodded and stopped shaving her hair.

Xu Dalang couldn't leave his sister for a moment, seeing Xu Yue and Wang's stay together for a little longer, he started to growl violently from his throat.

Seeing this, Xu Yue gave A Niang a helpless look, got up and went back to the depression.

When Xu Dalang saw her, he pulled out his long arm and stuffed it into his bosom, making funny faces to tease her.

With a blank expression, Xu Yue grabbed his hand and put it on her head, "Brother, scratch it."

Xu Dalang smiled ignorantly, scratched her head, then glanced at her, Xu Yue nodded encouragingly at him.

Seeing his younger sister's smile, Xu Dalang knew that he had done the right thing, he let out an excited hehe sound, and scratched her head vigorously.

At first, she couldn't grasp the strength and scratched Xu Yue a few times, but she became more and more proficient later on.

While enjoying the tickle, Xu Yue did not forget to point to the surrounding stones and plants, and taught her brother how to speak human words word by word.

Xu Erniang sat in the corner and used a sharp needle to soak her feet. She was not very proficient in the technique. She accidentally pricked herself with a needle and almost cried.

After finally picking out the blisters on his feet, his eyes fell on his tattered straw sandals involuntarily.

Thinking that she would have to wear these shoes to walk the mountain road tomorrow, Xu Erniang almost spit out old blood.

No!

For her own feet, she had to do something!
