This group of people really know how to divide the work and cooperate. No matter whether they are out hunting or working at home, they will always quickly arrange one person for each link, and then everyone works together to complete the task quickly and efficiently. Ji Lang admires them every time he sees this.

They don't even have to say it, they will quickly find what they want to do and their position.

Only Ji Lang now has nothing in his hands, and is strolling back and forth like a gadget.

Of course, he was not really idle. After looking around, he felt that this place was not very suitable for digging terraces. However, the large area next to it, although it was a slope, was not steep and was very wide, suitable for cultivation.

While they were busy, Li and Lan also came out with baskets on their backs. They did not go down the mountain, but went to the sunny side of the mountain. The edible wild vegetables were still in the tender sprout stage. Ji Lang did not recognize them, but Li and Lan knew some of them.

After eating dried vegetables throughout the cold season, he was really fed up. Last night, he found it a little difficult to swallow the bacon that tasted so delicious.

Li thought he was sick, but after asking him, he found out that he just wanted to eat fresh vegetables and meat.

So the two of them came out early in the morning with baskets on their backs, intending to try their luck on the sunny side of the mountain. If they could pick some fresh wild vegetables, it would improve everyone's situation.

Ji Lang walked a little far away and didn't see Li and Lan. When he came back, they had already walked for a while, otherwise he would have liked to follow them to identify some wild vegetables.

Everyone was hungry, so they didn't stay outside for too long. They went home after finishing their work.

Not long after, Li and Lan also came back with a small basket of green sprouts that looked fresh.

Ji Lang felt satisfied with just a stir-fried vegetable soup and a bowl of clear soup noodles. Others were used to eating dried vegetables and salted meat, but it was Ji Lang's first time experiencing the cold season, and it was still a little unbearable. The only fresh vegetables he could eat throughout the cold season were winter bamboo shoots and the tomatoes he grew himself, and there was no green leafy vegetables at all.

Although he had never liked eating green leafy vegetables and fruits since he was a child, he felt a little uncomfortable not eating them for such a long time.

Ji Lang put down the bowl with satisfaction and spoke, "I want to tell you something. This warm season I plan to open up more land to plant potatoes and pumpkins. I've already found a location, right next to the previous land. I hope you will work with me these days."

Everyone else waved their hands to indicate that they had nothing to do. After all, during this period, the flowers, plants and trees had not yet grown, so it was not a good time to go out hunting. It would take at least half a month before they could go out, so they were just sitting around doing nothing anyway.

Another thing is that they have eaten a lot of the things they grow throughout the winter season, and it is indeed much more convenient than collecting them in the wild.

Xi Shi was already very interested in growing this kind of food, and when he heard what Ji Lang said, he became even happier and asked Ji Lang excitedly, "Can we grow other wild vegetables?"

"What wild vegetables have seeds?" Ji Lang asked him.

"As for the wild vegetables in the mountains, we can dig them up with their roots and plant them in the fields. It may be difficult now, but won't it be convenient to eat them in the future?" Xi Shi thought this was reliable. Regardless of how many types to plant, at least the wild onions all over the mountains can be dug up and planted by himself. This kind of wild vegetable is delicious whether stir-fried with meat or eaten cold. It can be used as a main dish or as a side dish. Everyone likes it very much.

Ji Lang patted his thigh and said, "Yes, I was not thinking clearly. I only thought about planting with seeds. Then we can dig up wild grass seedlings and bring them back. We can also keep planting and collecting seeds, and then use the seeds to plant later."

In that case, more land would need to be dug out.

These guys were not lazy. They worked as soon as they said they would. Every day they carried hoes and went out early and came back late. Soon, the piece of land that Ji Lang liked was cleared.

Not only the rotten dead branches on the ground, but also the grass roots in the ground and the newly grown sprouts that were not sure whether they were weeds or wild vegetables, were all eaten in one pot.

We took five or six truckloads of grass roots home alone. Everyone agreed not to waste them and brought back the grass roots and dead branches. After drying them, they could be used for heating the kang or cooking.

Although several large plots of land had been cleared, the weather was still very cold. Everyone worked during the day when the sun was still warm, and returned home when the sun went down in the afternoon. It was still cold at night. Ji Lang did not dare to start farming so early, fearing that the seeds would be frozen to death, which would be a waste.

He put the remaining potatoes in a basket and moved them all to the kitchen. Cooking was done in the kitchen every day, so there was heat there and the temperature was higher than outside, which helped the potatoes to sprout.

Jilang planned to wait until the potatoes sprouted, then he would clean them up and start planting.

Last time, Xishi mentioned that after coming back from digging wild vegetable seedlings, Li and Lan went out to dig several times, sometimes alone, and sometimes with other people. Now there is a large area of ​​transplanted wild vegetables. Some are still alive after being moved, and some are wilted but still alive. With such vitality, it is no wonder that they can survive outside where weeds grow.

The sun here acts like a catalyst. Before long, patches of small buds on the mountain grow to calf height, and some leaves quietly hang on the branches.

Maybe the temperature is still not high enough, or the potatoes are still in dormancy, the potatoes in the kitchen have not sprouted yet. Zhou and Xiaoying are ready to set off with Ye.

There was still a lot of dried meat left over from the cold season, and Ji Lang poured it all into bags and put them in their backpacks. Li and Lan baked a lot of pancakes for them, and added other dried vegetables and seasonings, filling up three baskets.

Three people who are ready to travel light and rely on themselves:......

Not only is there a big bag of tents and sleeping bags, but there is also a big bag of clothes and weapons, which are also necessary. But these three big baskets of food, if you carry them outside and really encounter danger, are you going to feed them to wild animals?

The three of them picked and chose and combined the three large baskets into one basket, leaving more than two baskets of things.

Li was very worried, "Ye, if you don't bring these things with you, what will you eat if you can't catch any prey outside?" Although Ye was not her child, he had been thin since he was young, and he was a hard-working man. He usually worked silently at home. Li had long regarded him as a junior in her family. How could such a thin person catch prey outside? How could she feel at ease?

"Don't worry, Aunt Li. Xiaoying and I are here. Ye won't starve." Zhou patted his chest and assured, "We will definitely take him out and bring him back safely."

Xiaoying also nodded, "Yes, don't worry, my brother and I have lived outside for so long, and I remember all the places where it is relatively safe and where we can hunt prey. You can rest assured."

These two men are indeed capable, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to chase Dayu and his men for so long without dying. However, Ye seldom goes out, let alone to such a far place. By the time he returns from this trip, half of the warm season may have passed. Everyone can't help but feel worried.

Uncle Lin, in particular, always felt bad that Ye had to take risks because of him. The weather had gotten warmer recently, so Uncle Lin could go out too. He carefully put a small bone knife that he had kept for self-defense into Ye's package and said, "When you go out, you must be more vigilant. You have good perception and tracking abilities. When you sense danger, try to avoid conflict. Put the gun that Ji Lang gave you in a convenient place. Even if you really encounter danger, try to pull away and don't get close. You don't have the strength and speed, and it will be difficult to escape if you get close..." Uncle Lin kept on giving instructions, and Ye listened quietly. This was the first time he left his father, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy and scared, but he didn't regret the choice he made.

Ye thought that it would be great if he could find the magic herb this time. If not, then at least he could go to the place where the old lady from the Snow Mountain Tribe picked the magic herb before. Because Ji Lang said that plants choose the environment that suits them best. If he knew the specific appearance of the place where the magic herb grew, he would have a greater chance of finding it by looking for it in such a place in the future.

The three of them packed up what they needed to pack without wasting time. After breakfast the next morning, they set off with their bags on their backs.

Ji Lang stood on the top of the mountain and watched the three people walking down the mountain very quickly. When they were in the mountains, their figures were occasionally blocked by wild vegetables and trees. Slowly they walked away and disappeared in a green valley.

After the three of them left, the tribe also began to patrol the territory every reincarnation. Sa's body had recovered well, but the two cubs were not weaned yet and could not leave her. Originally, because of her pregnancy and then because of the cold season, she had been restrained. She was eager to go with them, but was defeated by the whining of the two cubs.

"No wonder, Am, you stopped following the hunting team after you gave birth to Brother Guo and Brother Qing. I understand now." Sa Shi collapsed on the kang, feeling a little unhappy. He stretched out his hand to tickle the exposed soles of the two cubs' feet as if to do something naughty.

Li, who was dressing the two cubs, reached out and patted her dishonest hand. "I just didn't recover well enough to keep up with the hunting team. What are you thinking? This winter is warm and the food is good. You have recovered well. When the two cubs are older, stay with me to take care of them. You can still go out."

"That's right, you two little ones should grow up quickly." Sa Shi looked at the sun coming through the crack in the door. The dust in the air seemed to be startled by the sunlight and ran around in panic, holding their heads.

Xishi and Guoqi went out to patrol the mountains. Originally, Qingjiu was planning to go too, but then he thought that during this period, there might be some hungry wild beasts in the mountains that might come out to look for food. A large area of ​​reclaimed land had not been cleaned up yet. If even he left, it would be difficult for the remaining people to escape if they encountered danger when they went out.

Ji Lang was outside, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, and yelled, "Sa Shi, let's go. Aren't we going to the lake?"

In places close to water, with the sun, plants grow faster than in other places. A few people decided to see if they could dig up more wild vegetables, which they could both cook and grow in the fields.

Li waved his hand, "Go quickly. You can't go far away, so go to a nearby place to get some fresh air."

Sa Shi put on his shoes quickly and turned back to ask Li, "Am, aren't you going? We don't have as many wild vegetables as you do."

Li patted her back in annoyance, "What will happen to your two kids if I leave? Just leave them at home? Lan will go too. She knows a lot of wild vegetables. Follow her to dig."

Sa Shi immediately patted his butt and ran away.

Except for the two little guys, Li, and Uncle Lin, everyone else came out together. Sa Shi walked in front, followed by Ji Lang and Feng. Ji Lang was holding Xiaoman, Feng was holding Wu, then Lan was holding Chuan, and Qingjiu was at the end of the team.

The warm season had not been here for long, but many of the weeds outside had grown to Jilang's thigh level. Xiaoman walked with some difficulty. Looking around, she saw green grass all around that was taller than her. She had no idea where to go and could only let Jilang lead the way.

"Oh, I don't know when I can grow taller. These weeds are so annoying." The little guy was very distressed. In the few months before the end of the winter season, he had been worrying about his teeth falling out one after another, and had not bothered to worry about the fact that he had not grown much in height. Now that his teeth have grown out and he went out for a walk, he was tripped by the weeds under his feet and could not walk. He began to worry about his height again.

Ji Lang found it funny, "Then go back and eat an extra bowl of rice today, you will grow taller in a while."

"Father, you are lying. You said the same thing last time, but I haven't grown taller." The little guy retorted dissatisfiedly.

Wow, although you haven’t grown taller, you have grown smarter and it’s not easy to fool you.

Ji Lang looked down at the little head with a bun on it, shaking as it walked, "That's not the right time yet. When did your father lie to you? Do you want your father to carry you on his back?"

The little guy shook Ji Lang's big hand and said, "No, I want to walk by myself. I'm already a big kid. I can't be carried by my father all the time."

"Oh, how come I've become a big boy? Who said that?" Ji Lang didn't remember saying he was a big boy.

Wu next to him spoke at this time, "Brother Qing said, Brother Qing said, a child who has changed his teeth becomes a big child, and can't rely on his father and mother for everything, he has to dig wild vegetables by himself."

I don’t know when this person said this, but these kids actually remembered it. Ji Lang couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Qing Jiu at the back of the team.

Having not been exposed to the sun for the entire winter season, his skin color became a little whiter, and his naturally curly hair grew a little longer, all tied up at the back of his head, with a few strands in the front not tied up, hanging down beside his deep eye sockets. The sunlight reflected on his three-dimensional face, with distinct shadows and dark features, making his whole face look deeper and brighter.

As if he had noticed Ji Lang's gaze, the man stopped looking into the distance and looked towards Ji Lang. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly raise, and his sharp facial features softened a little.

Ji Lang couldn't help but laugh too.

When he smiles, he has two dimples on his face, which make his handsome face look more cute. Qing Jiu doesn't know what they are called, but he can't help but be attracted by these two dimples and sometimes even wants to reach out and poke them.
