Traveling through ancient times to farm and raise cubs with a golden finger

Chapter 113 On the Road
The family was gloomy, but Yu Xiaoxiao, who was going out for the first time, was very excited.

She has always lived in the village, and the farthest place she has been to is Fucheng. It is not that she has not thought about taking a good look at this ancient world, but in the end she was defeated by Xianyu's character.

For example, as soon as I had such an idea, my confidence was shattered by all kinds of things that might happen on the road I imagined. In the end, I still felt that there is nothing wrong with staying at home. Although I can’t see the vast world outside, I can go step by step every day. Living a leisurely life, eating melons and salted fish, I gave up this idea.

Later, as the grades got older, I felt that after staying in one place for a long time, I had feelings for this place, and I didn’t want to leave home. In addition, I had grandchildren, so she started to help take care of the children, and gradually became less and less familiar with it. The idea of ​​going out for a living came into being. Day after day, year after year of life, she got used to it and learned how to pass the boring time, so she rarely felt bored in the village.

So far, she has never had the idea of ​​wandering outside the rivers and lakes to see the vast world.

This time it could be regarded as a coincidence, which gave Yu Xiaoxiao the idea of ​​going far away. Although the main purpose was to see Qingyun's granddaughter, she didn't want to go there and come back in a hurry. She wanted to see the world in other places what does it look like.

She first went to the government to spend money to get a guide, and then she wandered around while watching the scenery while having a picnic like a game.

Not at all what the family members worried about, sleeping in the open air, gnawing on dry food and rushing on the road, not eating well, not sleeping well.

She sleeps in the space every day, and then leaves the space to lean against the tree and wait for the dawn. From time to time, she will go hunting and add meat to herself.

As for saluting, it has long been changed from a bag and a basket to a big basket with a small iron pot hanging on it. There are flour, rice and a small amount of miscellaneous grains in the basket, as well as dishes, chopsticks, pottery pots, various seasonings, clothes and shoes. There are two sets that can be changed and washed inside. There are also pastries and dried fruits for sale inside, which can be eaten when the mouth is idle or when the taste is not in the mouth.

Three days later, Yu Xiaoxiao came to the neighboring county of Anyuan County. After registering with the guide, Yu Xiaoxiao entered the county, replenished some supplies, bought some fresh and beautiful things, and left the county ,move on.

Yu Xiaoxiao's footsteps are fast, especially when there is no one around.

It wasn't until she crossed the fifth county and was approaching Yunzhou, the border between Qiongzhou and Qingzhou where the capital is located, that she met four grandparents who were also carrying their belongings on the side of the mountain road.

She didn't strike up a conversation with anyone, one was unnecessary, and the other was that Yu Xiaoxiao felt that her appearance was too abrupt.

It's better not to go to someone else's house, it's better to keep people on guard.

After all, a thin old man with gray hair suddenly appeared in the barren mountains, and he was still an old woman. Who wouldn't think too much about it, what if it was a bait sent by bandits and refugees to confuse passers-by.

Yu Xiaoxiao kept a little distance away from the grandpa and grandson, and started to stop and pick up stones, branches, and hay for the fire.

After preparing enough to cook a meal by herself, Yu Xiaoxiao used branches to clear out a place large enough to cook for herself, surrounded a simple stone stack, lit the dry grass, and set fire to the branches placed in the stone stack. , put the pot on the fire and set it up.

When the pot was hot, I picked a piece of solid lard from the lard jar and melted it in the pot, then took out the wild vegetables that I had picked and processed from the back basket, threw them into the pot, and used chopsticks to turn them over from time to time. Next, when the frying is almost done, I put a little of the chili sauce and meat sauce made by the two daughters-in-law into the pot, continue to stir fry, and then take it out of the pot.

Then he took out his handmade bamboo kettle from the back basket, poured water into the pot and rinsed it, and then added water to cook.

At this time, it was the time when the sun was at its peak, so the grandpa and grandson did not stay away from here, but enjoyed the shade under the tree not far away, and ate dry food to replenish their strength.

And the aroma of Yu Xiaoxiao's cooking successfully lured the three little ones, the old man swallowed unconsciously, but didn't look this way.

But the three younger ones were different. Even though the oldest child knew that he couldn't see it, he couldn't help but glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

The two younger ones are much more magnanimous, and their four eyes are staring straight at Yu Xiaoxiao, with longing in their eyes.

But Yu Xiaoxiao didn't say that if she was soft-hearted, she would join in. She knew that even if she was soft-hearted and gave them some, the old man would not take it, so her efforts would not be wasted. She silently stared at the fire, adding more firewood from time to time.

When the meal was ready, Yu Xiaoxiao took out the only big wooden spoon, filled the meal for herself, and extinguished the fire by the way.

While eating, she regretted that she didn't go to add meat dishes to herself today, and it was a bit tasteless to eat only wild vegetables.

It's better to stay away from the crowd and be alone, so that you won't be afraid that you, an old woman, will be regarded as a monster and freak if you go hunting.

Yu Xiaoxiao was still not full after eating a bowl of rice, so she ate the remaining half bowl, and then began to wash the pot and dishes. Originally, Yu Xiaoxiao planned to shape the remaining half bowl of rice into rice balls and take it with her. At night, I roasted a rabbit or pheasant, and it was a meal with it. I didn't expect to be eaten by myself.

But it's normal to think about it. In the past, a bowl of rice was enough because there was half a chicken or a rabbit to eat with it. Now it's not enough.

She poured all the water for washing pots and dishes on the fire, and then used branches to pull some soil to cover it, then packed her things and put them back in place, carried the basket and continued on her way. When she left, she looked back to make sure there were no When something falls, leave.

There were four grandparents over there. Only then did someone speak. It was a girl's voice: "Grandpa, that old grandma doesn't look like a bad person. Shall we go with her?"

The oldest child was dissatisfied: "You haven't talked to anyone, how do you know that he is a good person?"

The youngest one was also a boy, and he whispered the feelings of himself and his sister: "But the food she cooks is delicious, and I really want to eat it."

The big boy glared at the little boy: "What to eat, it's not like we don't have dry food, so don't put yourself in it just for a bite to eat."

The old man touched the big boy's head, and said kindly: "Listen to what your brother said, that old woman is not a simple person who can walk in the mountains alone like us. Let's not provoke you. Grandpa in Qingzhou will take you to the restaurant." Let's eat, okay?"

The big boy nodded and continued to eat his dry food. The two younger ones saw that their elder brother and grandpa were still talking, and continued to fill their stomachs.

For Yu Xiaoxiao, this was just a small episode, except that Yu Xiaoxiao was more determined to walk in the mountains and not go with others, it had no other influence.

Maybe this is the first and last time she and the grandpa and grandson met, who knows?

They are all their own passers-by, so don't worry about it.

Soon, the sky darkened while on the way, Yu Xiaoxiao went to catch a rabbit, and prepared pancakes with broth to eat at night, leaving half of the rabbit meat for tomorrow morning.
