Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 57

"set off!"

Jiang Yiyu took the lead and whipped his horse whip, and twenty-eight mule/donkey carts carrying people set off to the provincial capital.

Life in Jiangjia Village was pretty good. In addition to the old Jiang family, there were thirteen other families that had cars, but they were all ox carts, which were too slow for long-distance travel. So Jiang Yipei arranged for his own donkey cart and mule cart to go on the road, and left three ox carts at home and in the village as backup.

Jiangjia Village is far from the city center. If you walk, if you start before dawn, you will not arrive until three or four in the afternoon. Now it is bright, almost seven o'clock. Since we are catching a bus, we can go a little faster and try to arrive at two in the afternoon.

Another team gathered in the drying yard.

Jiang Yipei had originally arranged for only the second team to go up the mountain today, but now, except for the elderly and children who were not convenient to climb the mountain, and the tribesmen with special tasks, everyone over the age of twelve, regardless of gender or age, came here spontaneously and waited to set off to the mountain.

In previous years, the drying yard was the busiest place during summer and autumn harvests. This year, with the arrival of a harvester, the drying yard is no longer covered with rice. Instead, rows of bamboo poles have been set up, with all kinds of vegetables still dripping with water hanging on them, waiting to be dried into vegetables.

The elderly and children who stay in the village also have to take care of drying the vegetables.

Jiang Xiaomi was originally going to the provincial capital to stock up on goods, but after learning about the function of Jiang Xiubai's mall, Jiang Yipei and Jiang Suying agreed that there was no need to make this trip.

After all, it is really inconvenient for a girl to travel on business with a group of grown men.

Jiang Yipei was really worried. After all, it would take a long time and the journey would be far. He wouldn't be able to get there the first time if anything happened. But his disappointing son was injured on the battlefield, and he considered it again and again before agreeing to Jiang Xiaomi's volunteering. Now he has made up his mind and will not let her go no matter what.

So Jiang Xiaomi had to follow the team up the mountain, but it was also very exciting up the mountain!

Brother Duo at the head of the village and his family are hunters in the village. Today he is going to teach everyone how to dig traps to catch wild boars. I heard that when he was young, he hunted tigers and blind bears in the mountains!

The people who went up the mountain were divided into three groups: one group went for vegetarian food, one group went for meat-eating food, and one group went for medicinal herbs.

Jiang Suying still led her servants and maids to collect herbs, and some tribesmen who knew about medicinal herbs also joined her team.

In addition, the women took the girls to dig wild vegetables and collect firewood, while the men went hunting.

Jiang Xiaomi would never go to pick wild vegetables. She insisted on going hunting with him. Jiang Lizheng had no choice but to let her go with him. He said with a stern face, "Be careful. Follow behind grandpa. Don't run around. The wild boars in the mountains are very powerful. Their long tusks can pierce a person's stomach!"

"Really?" Jiang Xiaomi's eyes widened like a kitten, full of curiosity.

Jiang Lizheng choked. He said this to scare his eldest granddaughter and hoped that she would stay at the foot of the mountain. Unexpectedly, she seemed to be more interested.

"Grandpa, I want to watch the wild boar hunting!" Jiang Xiaomi shook Jiang Lizheng's arm and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't run around! I'll just stay by your side, okay?"

"Don't worry, grandpa, I will take care of her!" Jiang Xiubai said from the side.

He wished Jiang Xiaomi was with him! He was not familiar with these people subjectively!

My granddaughter is begging to watch wild boar hunting!

How to do?

Jiang Li didn't want to agree, but she was acting like a spoiled brat!

Jiang Xiaomi finally got her wish and followed the hunting team, holding a thick wooden stick in her hand.

Jiang Lizheng felt a little relieved as he watched his eldest granddaughter vigorously swinging a wooden stick that was thicker than her arm.

only--

When did this kid learn martial arts?

Jiang Lizheng thought that he should interrogate Jiang Yipei when he got home. How could he let his good granddaughter wield a knife or a gun!

What if you hurt yourself!

Jiang Yipei, who was testing the kang plate at home but failed, suddenly sneezed.

But Jiang Lizheng changed his mind and thought, since Xiaomi had acquired supernatural powers, he should learn some skills to protect himself!

The boss did the right thing.

Jiang Yipei sneezed again when he saw the chimney was producing smoke smoothly.

Afraid that he would catch a cold, he went back to his room and drank two packets of Isatis root in anger.

"Brother Duo! Can I do this?"

Jiang Xiaomi, who is of a higher seniority, calls Jiang the hunter, who is in his forties and is setting a bird trap, "Big Brother".

Although the men in the village are not as professional at hunting as the hunter Jiang and his family, they can still set up small traps to catch birds.

Along the way, from time to time, in expected and unexpected places, bend down a sapling, chop off the top, and then stick it into the ground. With the help of a few small branches, take out a hemp rope to tie the bird alive, and sprinkle a handful of shriveled millet. A trap is completed. As long as the bird eats the food, it will most likely not escape.

The setting of the small trap only takes one minute and is simple to operate. Jiang Xiaomi learned it after just two glances.

"Okay!" Hunter Jiang handed Jiang Xiaomi a hemp rope about one meter long. It was her first time, so her hands were inevitably a little clumsy. Hunter Jiang gave her some pointers from time to time, and soon the small trap was set up. It was very simple.

Jiang Xiubai was eager to learn how to do it, but he was clumsy and couldn't tie a loose button, hahahaha——

"Going further in is deep into the mountains. There are many animals in there, including wolves and tigers. Everyone should bring their weapons with you. If you encounter them, don't panic. Just listen to my command. We are here to hunt meat, so why should we be afraid of them?" said the hunter Jiang.

Jiang Yitao tightened the machete in his hand and echoed: "When disaster strikes, these beasts will have nothing to eat and will come down the mountain to eat us! It's up to you guys whether we eat them or they eat us!"
