Chapter 786

Li Chanjuan nodded: "yes, in the carriage, she told me not to worry. She must have a way to escape. She also told us to find a hidden and safe place to hide and not to be caught again."

Wen Yan Lao Tao nodded busily: "yes, let's stop talking nonsense here and go! Otherwise, what will the people of Southern Qin do when they come back? "

Chen Wu: "take your food and luggage and go to the mountains first."

On the way, Chen Wu asked Lao Tao, "is there any place to hide here?"

Lao Tao: "yes, the cunning rabbit has three caves. Our family has lived in this place for decades, and we can't be familiar with it any more. I know a place where there is water, but it's a little far away."

Chen Wu: "how long will it take?"

Lao Tao: "most of the time."

The group of people with food and luggage on their back rushed to the road. They didn't meet any people along the way and entered the mountain smoothly.

In the afternoon, Lao Tao took us to a house in the mountains.

Everyone was surprised that there was a house here, a two-story wooden house. It was tall and solid. There was a two meter high wooden wall around the outside of the wooden house. However, when we walked inside, we found that the wooden house had been for some years.

Old Tao said, "there used to be a family of herb gatherers here. Later, the family left, leaving this house without owner."

Tao Lei knew who his father was talking about, and he still had the impression: "I remember playing here, but at that time there seemed to be no fence here."

Lao Tao: "the wall was built later. There are wild wolves here, but they are fierce. The reason why I didn't choose to hide here is that I was worried that the beasts on the mountain would attack me."

Lao Tao's words are not complete, but we all know that it is not very safe here. There is no danger outside. What they are facing now is the danger from the mountains and forests.

Li Chan Juan: "only two of our old bones don't dare to live in, but now we have a lot of people. Chen Wu and Xiao Yang are good at martial arts. Even if there are beasts, they can beat them away!"

Tan Yang agreed: "the third aunt is right!"

Li Chanjuan laughed, "well, let's clean the house before it gets dark. There are so many ashes that we can't live in."

The party put things in the yard, and then found rags and wooden buckets from the house and went to the nearby river to draw water.

There should be some furniture in the wooden house, and there is no shortage of pots and pans, but they are too dirty to use without a good brush.

The river nearby is more than two meters deep, and there are still small fish swimming around. Chen Wu went down to catch some fish and sent them to the kitchen for the women to take care of.

Tan Yang went to the mountains around the house to see what dangerous and useful things were nearby.

Now the weather is good, the vegetation in the mountain forest is luxuriant, and there are many small animals. If those beasts can eat and drink enough in their own territory, they usually don't come to attack people.

Tan Yang turned around and found no danger except a few poisonous snakes.

Before dark, everyone worked together to clean up the house inside and outside, and the grass in the yard was also cleaned up.

Chen Wu went out of the door and brought back a few bamboo sticks, which were made into bamboo poles to dry clothes for everyone.

Li Changyan, with Nian Nian and Nian Nian, prepares dinner for everyone in the kitchen. The dishes are fried bacon with wild vegetables, fried fish and mushroom soup. The whole family ate several jin of rice.

Before we go to sleep, we all think about the same thing. We have to go to the mountain to find food tomorrow.

Lao Tao is familiar with this place, and his family's herb gatherers are his good friends. Although they don't come here often, they also come here two or three times a year to send good tea to their friends.

Old Tao knows where there are fruit trees, where there are herbs, and where there are dangers that he can't go.

In the early morning, the men went to the mountains with bamboo baskets to find food. The women stayed at home to wash clothes and cook. By the way, they moved all the owner's things to the yard. The useful ones were left, and the useless ones were thrown away, otherwise they would occupy space.

"These clothes are not broken. They can be worn after washing." Turning to a box of clothes, Li Chanjuan took them out and looked at them one by one.

The clothes used to be made of better materials. People who collect herbs often go to the mountains. The clothes they wear are stronger than ordinary people. Otherwise, they are easily worn out.

They can wear clothes of all sizes. Li Chanjuan and Li Changyan cooked soap horn soup and washed and dried these clothes.

After washing clothes, they almost have to prepare the afternoon meal. Now there is not much food. They can only eat two meals a day. Li Chanjuan also thinks about reclaiming the few fields in the yard and planting a la carte.

There's no need to cook too much. It's enough to have Li Chanjuan and Li Changyan in the kitchen. Tao Xin takes Nian Nian and Nian Nian with a basket to pick up stones in the yard, clear some of the stones on the ground, and turn back to turn the floor.

The sun was very bright outside. Taoxin took his two sisters to do some rest. There were more stones in the field. They didn't pick up half of them until the men came back.

We can't finish the work until tomorrow. Taoxin can't wait to see what they've found.However, Lao Tao accidentally sprained his foot when he went up the mountain. He didn't agree with his old age. Fortunately, he didn't break his bone, just sprained his tendon.

Tao Lei: "my aunt gave us a lot of medicine. I'll see if I can cure sprain."

Tao Lei took out the big package of medicine, and Chen Wu helped him to search for it. He found a package. It said that smashing the herbal medicine, adding water to make a paste, and then rubbing it on the affected area for a long time can relieve muscle injury.

Lao Tao craned his neck and looked at him: "you can't use so much. Smash a little bit first. Don't waste it."

They don't know much about medicine here. Even if there are herbs on the mountain, they don't know a few of them. They used to have strong resistance when they got sick. It's hard for Xu Qing to prepare so many herbs for them with heart and consideration.

Tao Lei: "there is no amount written on it. I'll try a little bit first."

Lao Tao nodded and looked at the others: "Oh, it's OK to have a little injury. Take out the food we're looking for. Don't be bored."

Wen Yan, Chen Wu and Tan Yang go and pour out the things in the bamboo basket.

There are wild vegetables, wild fruits and spices in it. The key point is that there are five rabbits still alive.

"This rabbit is so big, isn't it a litter?" Li Chanjuan asked.

Tan Yang: "well."

Li Chanjuan is reluctant to kill. If she wants to raise it, it's not enough for everyone to share so much meat. It's better to wait for the rabbit to grow up.

Before Tan Yang brought back a deer is also in the yard, Li Chanjuan think thin did not kill, intend to raise some fat.

"Keep it. We'll catch some next time." Chen Wu also said.

Li Changyan took the weeds and spices to the kitchen. She never picked up stones every year. She used to help choose vegetables.
