Chapter 440 Autumn Harvest Ends
The sun sets in the west, birds return to the forest, and smoke curls around the roof.
The two sisters went home first. Han Li went around outside and found some round dates in his satchel.
The two sisters made some cold dishes in the house, and Han Li made a bowl of smoothie, mixed it with cut round dates and mixed it with honey.
The three of them gathered around the table in the courtyard, took a bite of smoothie, and the fatigue from the whole day disappeared with a chill.
"It's so cool and comfortable, but this year we were so busy that we forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival again."
"Yes, Brother Li, I didn't even think of it if you didn't tell me. Now that you mentioned it, I want to eat mooncakes, especially the five-nut mooncakes. Think about the green plum silk, rose silk, almonds, olive kernels, peach kernels, and sesame seeds in it. , walnut kernels are so delicious when combined together.”
"It's been eight or nine days since the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you want to eat moon cakes, there's no place to buy them. How about we make some moon cakes ourselves after the food is in storage."
"Sister, can you still make mooncakes?"
"If you want to eat the kind you buy, don't worry about it. I can't make it without the tools. I make the mooncakes from home, but we can add more fillings to them. It should be delicious after baking for a while."
"If you make it yourself, you can use bear fat to knead the dough. The crust will be very soft."
While chatting and joking, the three of them handed over the dinner. The two sisters packed up the dishes and went to find Hao Hongmin and the others to discuss what to take home.
Han Li took the dog for a stroll to the edge of a small river far away from the village. He let the dog wander around and then got into a dense reed bush nearby.
Not long after, a gentle breeze came and created ripples on the river surface. Fish tumbled on the blue waves, and the waves shattered the shadow of the moonlight.
After a long time, the place returned to its original peace, except for the flowers and plants that had been moistened by the autumn dew.
.
A figure packed up his clothes and hurriedly left the reeds. After a while, Han Li whistled to summon the dogs to go home, leaving only the sparkling and shining river surface.
A few more days have passed, and basically all the food in Shanghe Village has been dried and stored in the warehouse.
At this time, there was basically nothing going on in the village. Most of the educated youths were slumped on the kang and did not want to move.
Villagers with limited legs and feet tend their vegetable gardens at home, drying what needs to be dried, rinsing what needs to be watered, and marinating what needs to be marinated.
The nimble villagers began to collect mountain products, wild vegetables, haul firewood, and burn charcoal. In short, they were all preparing for the long winter.
Even the children in the village have gathered in groups of twos and threes, holding shovels and bags in the ground and starting to look for the grain that was taken away by the voles, so as to increase their family's income.
There are also many older children who have been catching fish, river mussels and other small things in the water recently, because they want to fatten the pigs at home so that they can have more meat to eat when they kill the pigs.
The Yun sisters, like other educated youths, would not want to move when they were lying on the kang. This posture could last three days and two nights.
However, Han Li did not rest. Although his family of three would go home to visit relatives this year, He Mi would live in his house, so he had to prepare a lot of things.
However, Han Li did not plan to burn charcoal, an indispensable material, by himself this year. Every time, he would end up just like the kiln-burning workers, so he placed orders with several villagers early.
Although there is a lot of firewood in Han Li's decomposition space, this year is different from last year. Last year, he could add some to the firewood stack at any time. In addition, he often went out, so others had no idea how much firewood he brought back and consumed.
But this year it won't work if only He Mi is here. Han Li not only has to bring back a lot of chopped firewood, but also has to go through some scene work.
There were also various nuts, of which Han Li had very little decomposition space, especially pine nuts, which had been depleted for a year.
So Han Li comforted the two sisters last night and asked them to recover at home and regain their senses. He would go around the mountain to explore the way first, and then go into the mountain together after they have recovered in two days.
So early this morning, after Han Li was awakened by his biological clock, he kissed the two sisters and set off with an axe, rope, and basket.
A fat little squirrel squatted on Han Li's shoulder. The sparrow couldn't see the road yet so it stayed in its carrier. Two lynxes were jumping happily around.
Han Li has gone into the mountains countless times in the past year or so, and there is no need for sparrows to lead the way for shorter distances.
He kept running straight past the outside of the conversation and towards the deepest place.
While Han Li was being run away, the sun had already risen high.
Han Li was quickly attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him. Even though he had seen it many times last year, seeing it again still gave him a great shock and impact.
Under the crisp autumn sky and clear skies, the layers of forest are dyed with boundless autumn colors.
Red, yellow, orange, purple, green and other colors make this mountain very colorful, extraordinarily gorgeous and full of layers.
Han Li stopped at the top of the mountain to admire it for a while, shouted loudly and continued on his way.
After he arrived at a place where the villagers basically wouldn't touch it, everything within the scope of his mental power was taken into the decomposition space.
Whether it is chestnuts, wild walnuts, wild dates, persimmons, wild pears, wild grapes, pine nuts, or mushrooms, as long as they are good and mature, they become his goods.
Han Li did not even spare those fallen trees, trunks, branches, and cones. His main goal was to clean up the environment.
What? Lightning-struck wood? There were too many of these in this forest.
However, there were very few trees that were struck by lightning and revived, so Han Li counted all the lightning-struck wood as firewood.
When it was time to rest, Han Li would choose to sit under those towering red pines. At this time, it was the turn of the little squirrel to work hard, but this time it only needed to bite off the pine cones on the tree. When the pine cones fell to the ground, they would naturally be broken down into pine nuts by Han Li and collected.
This way, probably because of the two lynxes, basically no big beasts were encountered, only small animals such as pheasants and hares. However, lynxes do not eat white rice when they grow up, and small things that they stare at rarely run away.
The supplies in the mountains at this time are really abundant, but the disadvantage of the shorter days during the autumn harvest is also obvious, especially in the mountains and in the dense forests, it gets dark earlier.
So Han Li didn't have much harvest on the first day, and it was time to set up camp. He casually built a semi-hidden hut on a hillside, fed himself and the lynx, and fell asleep.
On the second day, he continued the unfinished work of yesterday. He was busy until noon. Han Li sat under a red pine tree to prepare his lunch. The little squirrel kept biting off one pine cone after another at the top of the tree that towered into the sky.
When Han Li closed his eyes and was leisurely, the two lynxes lying beside him suddenly stood up and growled.
This is a large wild animal coming, because if it is a small animal like a pheasant or a hare, the lynx will go directly to catch it.
Han Li opened his eyes and stood up, took out a spear from the decomposition space, and looked at the direction where the lynx was looking.
At this time, the weeds and bushes were very lush, and no prey could be seen at all, and no trace of them was found within the range of mental power.
However, it didn't take long for Han Li to find out what dared to come over under the threat of the two lynxes.
Wild boars, no, a group of wild boars, a dozen wild boars of all sizes.
Han Li was delighted when he found them. The autumn protection team had worked for more than a month without finding this thing, but he didn't expect to encounter it today. If it came, he would not leave. It just happened to be a gift for him to go home to visit his relatives and father-in-law.
Han Li asked the two lynxes to go around and cover the rear. He stabbed the spear into the ground, took out five or six and put them on his back, and a few short javelins appeared in his hands. This time he wanted to try to keep all these cute little things.
Han Li stood with his feet neither forward nor backward, and his eyes were fixed on the direction where the wild boars came out.
This group of wild boars was really bold. They didn't take Han Li seriously at all, and they swaggered out of the bushes.
At this time, the two lynxes had circled behind the wild boars and then yelled at the top of their lungs.
The big wild boars were relatively calm, but the little wild boars were not. They rushed forward when they heard the howling of the lynxes behind them, which led the big wild boars to run forward as well.
At this time, Han Li flashed out from behind the red pine tree. His arms continuously threw out the short javelin. The little wild boars that missed the target in front of him fell down with a scream. At this time, the big wild boars began to get jealous and rushed straight towards Han Li. The remaining wild boars also rushed along.
Han Li took out five or six semi-automatic rifles from his back and quickly fired a magazine of bullets. At this time, the distance between the two sides was very close. Even if the remaining three wild boars wanted to turn around and run away, it was too late. Han Li also had no chance to change bullets.
Han Li grabbed the spear that had just been stabbed into the ground and swept it sideways with his legs, waist, and arms at the same time.
"Crack."
"Ah, roar..."
The spear broke, and the front legs of the two wild boars were broken, but Han Li did not stop attacking. He stabbed the broken spear in his hand directly into the eyes of the intact wild boar.
Another wild boar screamed at the scene. Han Li quickly came to the short-legged wild boar with his feet, and hit the heads of the two wild boars with his fists containing that "strength".
Bang, bang.
The brains of the two wild boars were smashed, and now they were lying on the ground without even a hum, only their limbs were still twitching unconsciously.
At this time, the wild boar that was stabbed in the eye fell to the ground and died after running a long way, and the two lynxes finished off all the wild boars hit by Han Li and dragged them here.
Han Li rubbed their heads and took out some internal organs as a reward, and then all the wild boars were collected into the decomposition space.
The second day after Han Li entered the mountain, the old educated youth came to their senses. They picked up shovels and hoes and joined the team to find food. As for mountain products, nuts and firewood, they could do it later, but there were limited vole nests in the ground. If they started late, they would have nothing.
After three days, the new educated youth also joined in the search. After all, nothing was more important than food.
Hao Hongmin, Yang Xiuying, Wu Lili, Qi Ruying, Yuan Hongying and others can go home to visit their relatives this year, but the current situation is polarized.
