Nongmen fierce wife, this king depends on you

Chapter 201 Horseshoe
When the soldier was called out so excitedly by her, he almost fell into the mud. He glanced timidly at Xia Mujin, and then carefully threw the things in his hand over.

There are regulations in the military camp. Their injuries have already healed, and they take care of food and drink. If you can’t keep up with the large army, then the higher-ups won’t care about you, and they will even take turns to cook and burn firewood. If they don't want to go out to fight for a lifetime, then they don't want to realize their lofty aspirations. They will only be looked down upon and their dignity will be trampled upon.

There was a precedent, but later he couldn't stand it and betrayed the general, and was skinned to death after he found out. The bloody scene made them shudder to this day, and this rule was established by the former general, that is, Shen Muhan, and it was also implemented by him at that time .

Although they are not afraid of death, they still want to die worthwhile. At this moment, Xia Mujin's actions are undoubtedly trampling on their dignity, but at this moment they can only bear it.

Xia Mujin didn't care about their strangeness at the moment, but picked up the weed, pulled a few black things from the root and put them aside to clean, then peeled off the skin with her nails, and put it directly into her mouth.

Because this thing is not small, when you put it in your mouth, your cheeks will bulge. This is what Shen Muhan saw when he walked over, half of Xia Mujin's face was as swollen as if he had been hit by something, but the bottom of his eyes were rippling. With a joyful smile, he moved his mouth and said inarticulately: "It's delicious, come, you can eat too."

As he said that, he threw the white things in his hands to a few soldiers, who looked at each other in blank dismay, until Xia Mujin urged them again, and they reluctantly put the things in their mouths.

At this moment, Xia Mujin had already finished eating one, and seeing everyone moving their mouths calmly, she asked with wide eyes, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

The expressions of the few people also ranged from surprise to surprise, and then to intoxication, Xia Mujin was happy. She just lifted her sleeves, revealing her arms like lotus joints, and then bent down to roll up her trouser legs, making everyone blush and heartbeat , Shen Muhan's eyebrows twitched, and he stepped forward a few strides to stop her movement.

"Jin'er, this is a military camp, not like home."

He said in a low voice, but his eyes stayed on the half of Xia Mujin's exposed arm, and then he pulled her sleeves down with his big hand.

Xia Mujin said slowly, she was indeed too excited, so excited that she couldn't help but want to dig by herself.

"Take it."

Shen Muhan suddenly put the clothes into her hands, said lightly, and went down to the field barefoot.

Looking at Shen Muhan's hot and perfect figure, Xia Mujin couldn't help wiping her lips, and at the corner of her mouth, she took his clothes and put them on the clean haystack by the bank, stood directly on the ridge of the field, and spread out a bag , said: "Quickly dig, pick off the black fruit and throw it into this bag."

Several people have tried this taste, and it is surprisingly good. Besides, the weather is already hot, so eating this cold food feels very refreshing, even more comfortable than taking a cold bath.

"Here, it's called horseshoe, and it can also be called water chestnut and ground pear. Its function is "to quench thirst and heat, warm the middle and replenish qi, remove red stones, eliminate wind and poison, and remove excess heat in the chest. It can be used as powder food."Don't underestimate it, it will be a delicious dish that can be served at night, and it is sweeter and more nutritious when cooked than raw. "

The people below kept digging, but Xia Hibiscus continued to spread the knowledge of horseshoe for everyone. In fact, it is still a very common fruit in modern times, but it grows in water and has many parasites. In such a different place, it is still boiled. It is safer to eat.

Besides, these are things that can’t be seen in Damiao Village, and probably can’t be seen in Kyoto either, otherwise someone would have dug them out and tried them, and this place must have been abandoned for a long time, otherwise wouldn’t they be everywhere? What she saw was just the tip of the iceberg, and she chose some seeds to take back to plant.

Also, I don't know whether it is the climate problem or the geological problem here. The horseshoe that has only matured until now makes people want to study it in detail. Besides, although the terrain of Linshan County is high, the water source is very poor. It is sufficient, and it can be seen that this place is basically fields, and there is very little land. Where there is water, fish are indispensable.

Thinking about it, Xia Mujin couldn't help laughing.

"Ah... snake, snake..."

While she was still immersed in her own thoughts, she saw that one person grabbed an arm-long "snake" and kept shouting, shaking while screaming.

It's normal to catch water snakes in such a field, Xia Mujin didn't make a fuss, but when she took a closer look, she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, Chou Chou, she came whenever she thought, quickly took out another bag, put the bag in He opened his mouth and shouted: "Haha, big baby, quickly put it in."

Everyone's face started to twitch when they heard it. Is this still a woman?

How even the snake is not afraid.

At the same time, he gave Shen Muhan a very weird look. This Shen Shizi's vision is really different, which makes people disagree.

Shen Muhan took the "water snake" from the soldier's hand and walked towards Xia Mujin.

Seeing such a big eel, which weighed a catty by visual estimation, Xia Mujin cheered thoroughly, and quickly stretched out the bag: "Haha, haha, uncle, hurry up, throw it in quickly."

Shen Muhan frowned and glanced at her, slandering in his heart: It can't be the second golden python, it won't be so easy to find a wife for it.

But he also checked it just now, this thing is not poisonous, and it doesn't look like a snake, and it's slippery all over, without scales, it's weird to hold it in the palm of your hand.

"Girl, is this also for eating?"

Throwing the slippery thing in the palm of her hand into the bag, Xia Mujin immediately shook the bag, and then tied the bag with a straw, Shen Muhan looked at her so cautiously and asked tentatively.

Xia Mujin finished her work, raised her head, smiled at him, raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course, it's delicious in the world, even if you eat it once, you will never forget it."

For Xia Mujin, Shen Muhan believed very much, especially in the area of ​​eating. After a pause, he said: "Everyone, hurry up and dig more, and have a full meal at night."

As soon as they heard that it was food again, those soldiers' eyes lit up completely, and they immediately put their heads down and worked hard.

This digging took place all afternoon, and Xia Mujin's mouth never closed again this afternoon.

In the evening, she asked everyone to stop working, because it was all deep mud, not to mention difficult to dig, and it was also very difficult to get out, let alone those who were in good health, even the soldiers who were practicing would probably have trouble. Not much better.

At this moment, each face was tanned black and red, and it is estimated that they will take off a layer of skin tomorrow, and their faces are also pale and very weak.

As soon as I got on the ridge, I felt that this foot was not my own, because it suddenly felt so light, it was very uncomfortable.

"Do you feel that your feet are not yours, your body is sore and weak, the mud has not been stirred for many years, the weeds in it grow year after year, and when a certain season begins to die in it again, plus there are eels and loaches As excrement is an element, this mud is poisonous and can detoxify. This is also the reason why you go down shirtless. The mud will absorb certain toxins from your body. In addition, this leech has not sucked blood for decades. The places bitten by leeches will be itchy and even swollen, but the blood in your body is sucked out by them, which is a good thing, much faster than medicine."

Shen Muhan held a bag in one hand, bead-sized beads of sweat dripped down his chin, he was not wearing a shirt, but was shirtless, Xia Mujin was holding his clothes, and the two of them chatted from time to time when she was talking The acquaintance smiled, this kind of tacit understanding was envious in everyone's eyes.

"Girl, you really know a lot. We have encountered one or two of these "water snakes" before, but we didn't know they could still be eaten."

In just one afternoon, they had already cast their eyes on Xia Mujin with admiration, completely overturned their previous resentment, and followed her wholeheartedly. It seemed that as long as it was something in this world, even a small grass on the road, she could A long story, not only can tell its origin, but also know its taste and function, which ones can be eaten, which ones can't be eaten, which ones can be eaten raw, and which ones can't. According to her, what they lack now is not food, but It's energy and confidence.

Back in the camp, Xia Mujin asked everyone for the little lancet, and took out all they had.

As a member of the army, many people have their unique skills, and there are many outstanding things, but they have not been excavated. At this time, everyone has finished their drills, and they are all sitting together in piles to rest or They were discussing something, and when Xia Mujin made a move, everyone took out the small lancets, and seeing that they were all shirtless and carrying big bags full, they were all very curious.

Xia Mujin collected more than [-] small lancets, and then asked someone to move the big wooden basin from the kitchen, and asked other people to move the horseshoes down to clean them. Here, they also asked people to prepare more than [-] bamboo boards There are small nails.

When everything was ready, she asked someone to pour the eel into a big wooden basin, which was scalded at noon, but it was huge.

The eel fell down as much as a pot, and it took two wooden pots to put it down. After it was put in, people immediately added water. The water that was added was salty water, which could make them move faster. The mud in the gills was spat out, she didn't teach them how to peel the eels immediately, but pulled Shen Muhan who had just changed clothes and came out: "Uncle, are there many plants behind here, how many edible wild vegetables are there? "

They are now trapped grasshoppers, unable to get in or out, if they sit idle like this, they will just sit and eat, and end up dead, and it would not be wasteful to use this time to do what they want to do.

Shen Muhan raised his eyes and glanced at the place Xia Mujin was pointing at. They didn't know much about Linshan County, the scope was only a city that had been abandoned for a long time, and this city was not big, so they didn't know how it was abandoned. Therefore, he was still worried about Xia Mujin's question. Although this little girl is courageous, he does not approve of such an adventure. Although she is also thinking of everyone, she paused and said: "Not far away is a forest. , the trees are densely packed, and the vines cover the surroundings. When entering the inside, it is like a blind man groping his way. Not only can he not tell the direction, but he is even more afraid of not being able to find the exit. It is so late, so don’t go. The wild vegetables are estimated to be able to survive tonight."
