Chapter 495 Go First

Today is already the twelfth day of the return journey, and the return journey is halfway through.

It happened that there were three or five tall persimmon trees near the campsite, and the men climbed to the trees to pick the fruits.

At this time, the leaves on the persimmon tree have all fallen off, leaving the tree full of red persimmons so densely packed that there are countless numbers, not to mention how beautiful it is.

I was lucky today. I picked half a basket of fungus from a dead branch of a very tall tree nearby, washed it and threw it into a clay pot to make soup. It was not easy to find fresh and tender wild vegetables with two handfuls. , Two wild onions cut into sections, stewed with big bones, it is an extremely delicious soup.

Drinking a bowl in this season will make you feel comfortable.

The hunting people came back soon, and there was a lot of noise and excitement.

When everyone looked at it, they couldn't help being startled, only to see a colorful tiger on the back of the big tortoise!

"Ah! What a big tiger!"

"I have tiger meat to eat tonight!"

"No, we are really lucky!"

"No one was hurt?"

"Seeing that you are worried, how could someone be injured with the village head here?"

"That's right, the big tortoise is also very powerful! I've seen it with my own eyes, a wild deer was silent when it was slapped down with one paw!"

"..."

The whole camp was boiling, the women sighed in amazement, the men who didn't go hunting were extremely envious, and envied that the people who went there were so lucky that they brought back such a big guy.

The people who went there were full of excitement and pride, telling people about the thrills and excitement of this trip with their eyes shining...

Look at this fierce tiger, no matter what, it weighs three thousand catties, it is considered a very huge behemoth, no wonder everyone is proud of it.

Moreover, this big guy's territory is very wide. Since it appears in this area, I believe there will be no other beasts infesting it, so I can sleep more comfortably tonight.

For a while, everyone went to a water source farther away from the camp, and dismembered the tiger.

After a while, someone came over with four fattened pheasants that had been killed and cleaned. These were hunted by Mo Yunshen casually, and asked Mu Qingli and the others to use them to make soup first.

Immediately, a woman who is good at cooking took it, threw it directly into a large pottery pot, and lit a fire to boil it.

Fungus, wild vegetables and wild onions will be added later.

The yams were also washed, neatly stacked in another earthenware pot, filled with water, covered with a lid, and steamed over high heat.

After a while, everyone packed the processed tiger meat in baskets and carried them back one by one.

Two tiger bones with a lot of meat were put directly into the pot and stewed together, and the tiger meat was strung on tree sticks, and piles of bonfires were set up. A dozen people roasted and ate by themselves, and everyone brought simple seasonings with them. with.

After eating meat, eat some yam and drink a bowl of hot soup, life is no worse than at home.

The peeled tiger skin was hung on a tree not far away to dry, and I would take it away when I left tomorrow. After returning to the village, we will see how to distribute and deal with them.

This tiger is very big. After slaughtering and removing the viscera, it still has two thousand three or four hundred catties, which is enough for tomorrow's breakfast and noon.

Along the way, there are gains every day, and everyone gets closer to home every day, and everyone feels happier.

After this day-to-day experience, the members of this team of guards have also greatly improved their ability to survive in the big forest.

Several of them are exceptionally outstanding. I believe that with their leadership, they can also venture into the big forest. Of course, they can't go too deep.

Everyone else was happy, only Mo Yunshen lost the opportunity to get close to his wife, he could only watch it every day, and he couldn't even touch his little hands, so he felt a little depressed. So it is not good to say that there are too many people, he wished that each of them would be able to take charge of their own affairs early, so as not to disturb him and his wife all the time...

Seeing that he was about to leave the big forest.

One more day, you can walk out of the big forest, and in the afternoon, you can go home.

We can't just let everyone go back empty-handed like this. After coming out this trip, there must be some gains no matter what, right?

Mu Qingli discussed with Mo Yunshen, she, Xiao Ya'er, and Xiao Luan took the twenty women to leave the next day, leave the big forest, and return to the village.

Mo Yunshen led three hundred of them around the big forest again, no matter what, each of them had to hunt a prey.

Naturally, the women also have their share, and it will be distributed to them when they go back.

The women who thought it was over and could only pick some wild fruits and vegetables to go back could not help being happy.

After parting the next day, Mu Qingli took them all the way out of the big forest almost non-stop.

Someone looked at the wild fruits in the mountains and was greedy, so they asked Mu Qingli if they could pick them?

After hearing this, several women echoed and said yes, saying that this place is not far from the outside mountains and forests, so they will be able to return to the village in the afternoon, and if they walk out of the big forest, they will have more time.

It's a pity that these wild fruits, if you don't pick them, will fall to the ground and be damaged...

Mu Qingli was annoyed and funny when she heard it, why do these people like putting the cart before the horse so much? Is life not as valuable as a few fruits?

Although they are good at work and have good strength, even if a wild boar comes, they will be so frightened that their legs will become weak and they will not be able to walk.

What about twenty people, twenty people who have no fighting power and are very likely to be hindered, can she, Xiao Ya'er, and Xiao Luan really protect them?

Mu Qingli refused without hesitation, saying that this is not the time to really want to pick wild fruits, and besides, is there still a shortage of food at home? Urging all the women to hurry on their way.

Otherwise, if you run into a wild boar or something, you won't be able to run...

Although the women were a little disapproving of her words, they couldn't hold on any longer. I had no choice but to follow her and leave with regret all the way.

Finally walking out of the big forest, Mu Qingli breathed a sigh of relief. Leaving the big forest, the danger is reduced by at least half.

At noon, everyone returned to the village.

Among the twenty women, eight were from the lower village and twelve were from the upper village.

Mu Qingli asked people from the village to share the meat tomorrow evening, and people from the lower village to go to Zhang Zishan's house the next morning, and she and Mo Yunshen would take their share to the village.

All the women's spirits lifted, and then they became a little more happy.

"Finally back!" Walking into the courtyard, Xiao Ya'er and Xiao Luan had smiles in their eyes, obviously they were very attached to this family.

"Yeah," Mu Qingli's eyes were turning green, her stomach was burning with hunger, she licked her lips and smiled, "I will cook white rice tonight, and I want to eat twice-cooked pork, spicy chicken, and sour Spicy lotus root slices and braised pork ribs, Xiao Ya’er, it’s up to you!”
