Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

The two of them were busy with their work while chatting about tomorrow's plans.

It was not until ten o'clock that I stopped working and prepared to pack up and rest. I still have to go to the reed marsh tomorrow!

The reed marsh is quite far from home, so they plan not to come back tomorrow night!

They had a dreamless night and both got up early the next day.

Lu Chuan went to the back to feed the chickens and ducks, and also changed the water for today and tomorrow. Just make sure there is enough water for the next two days.

Add more chicken and duck food. Don't let them go hungry.

After finishing, I dug some earthworms and put them in the fish basket as bait.

Xu Han was preparing the things she would need for staying overnight outside.

Take your blanket, kettle, pots and pans and whatever else you can use! Just like going camping!

It is the end of April now, and the weather is great! This trip is also a trip for fun! Relax!

After packing up, the two left the house, and this time they did not put the fish baskets near their home.

I heard from Lu Chuan that there is a big river over there on the other side of the reed marsh. It would be nice to fish nearby. The reed marsh is also a good place to put fish baskets!

In this way, the two of them walked and stopped along the way. The main reason was that Xu Han had never walked such a long distance and was a bit overwhelmed. If it weren't for Xu Han, Lu Chuan would have arrived long ago with his speed.

Finally arrived at the destination after lunch.

The two of them walked and stopped along the way, eating and drinking. Although they didn't have a formal lunch, they were not hungry. So they didn't have lunch!

After arriving at the reed marsh, Xu Han was very excited. She actually thought that she would be able to see a lot of ducks and duck eggs!

But after searching for a long time, I didn't see a single duck...

"Have you ever seen such a stupid duck? Standing in the most conspicuous place waiting for others to hunt it!"

Xu Han also reacted, but still said stubbornly, "That's not necessarily true!"

Lu Chuan looked at her with amusement and said, "Let's go! I'll take you to find it!"

After saying that, he took a step forward. Lu Chuan took Xu Han into the reed marsh, turning here and there, and soon Xu Han lost her way.

I can't tell east, west, south, or north. If that's the case, then forget it. Lu Chuan is still here! I won't get lost!

Finally we arrived at a place with a wider view, and from a distance we saw a few wild ducks that were frightened and flew away!

There were also a lot of duck eggs left on the ground.

"You pick up duck eggs here, but don't pick them all up. Leave some for them! Otherwise they won't be able to build nests here!" Lu Chuan said to Xu Han.

"Okay, I know. You go catch the ducks! Just let Heidian accompany me!" Xu Han took out a bamboo basket and started picking up the ducks without even looking at Lu Chuan!

Lu Chuan suddenly felt that he was not as good as a duck egg in Xu Han's eyes! He was deeply hurt. No, he must catch more wild ducks to prove his strength.

"Don't go too far, stay here!" Lu Chuan still reminded him worriedly.

"Got it." Xu Han replied without raising her head!

All right! Lu Chuan gave up! He led Hei Feng away directly!

Xu Han has completely entered the state. The feeling of picking duck eggs is so cool, just like picking mushrooms, it is addictive!

I still remember that in modern times, Xu Han often saw videos of people picking eggs at chicken farms, picking them up one by one. She felt itchy to do so, and this time it was finally her turn.

There were more than 10 to 20 eggs in each nest, and some had five or six. Xu Han didn't pick them all up, but left some for the ducks to hatch and breed!

While picking up the ducks, Xu Han suddenly heard the cry of a black dot. She looked up and saw that it was a newly hatched duckling. It was so cute! The fluffy look made people happy!

If the duck pen at home wasn’t too small, Xu Han really wanted to take them all back home and raise them!

Although they could raise them in the creek at the door, it was not very convenient, so Xu Han reluctantly gave up the idea!

It’s better to just pick up duck eggs! Duck eggs are also good!

In this way, Xu Han kept picking up duck eggs and didn't even notice that the sun had set. It was Lu Chuan's voice that brought Xu Han back from her immersion in picking duck eggs!

"It's getting dark, let's go to the cave first and come back to pick up duck eggs tomorrow!" Lu Chuan said to Xu Han. In his hand, he was holding the wild ducks he had hunted today, about twenty of them.

"Okay, let's go!" Xu Han looked at her space and saw that there were about 10 baskets of wild duck eggs.

Although she was still reluctant to leave, Xu Han also knew that it was getting dark and it would be dangerous in the deep mountains! One should not be too greedy. Besides, she could come again tomorrow!

It’s safer to go back to the cave now!

On the way back, I also collected the fish baskets that I had put in at noon. I have to say that the harvest was really good.

The five fish baskets collected a total of one and a half buckets of fish and shrimp, including several large fish weighing about three pounds!

Maybe no one has ever caught the fish here, so they are stupid and have no vigilance, so they are especially easy to catch!

After collecting the fish baskets, continue to prepare them and collect them when you come tomorrow morning.

The two walked for about half an hour and finally arrived at the cave where Lu Chuan had temporarily lived before dark!

The cave was not very big, and there were some simple stones and clay pots inside. They should have been prepared by Lu Chuan as a temporary resting place after hunting.

Lu Chuan picked up some dry firewood nearby to use for making fire at night!

Xu Han came into the cave, cleaned it up simply, took out the bed from the space, and placed it directly in the cave!

This is so convenient! If Xu Han didn't have this cheating space, how could she have such a comfortable living environment!

But the cave is too small, and there is no space left after putting down a 1.5-meter bed!

Anyway, I don’t have to cook today, and I have stored hot water in the space, so I don’t even need to boil hot water. It doesn’t matter if the space is a little smaller!

In this way, the two of them finished their dinner in the small space, simply washed up, and then rested!

There is no need for people to keep watch at night, just block the cave door, there are two dogs! They are much more alert than people.

It was still very cold at night. Although the entrance to the cave was blocked, cold wind still blew in from time to time.

The two of them covered themselves with thick quilts and didn't feel so cold anymore!

Lu Chuan also joked, "This is the most comfortable and warmest cave I've ever lived in after so many times! This is all thanks to Xu Han."

Faced with Lu Chuan's flattery, Xu Han accepted it all without any hesitation!

Although they lived in a cave deep in the mountains, Xu Han might have an inexplicable trust and peace of mind in Lu Chuan. Although she could hear the cries of wild animals from time to time, she still fell asleep quickly...

On the second day, after breakfast, the two came to the reed marsh again. There were not as many ducks here today as yesterday. It might be that Lu Chuan was frightened when he was hunting yesterday, and many of them flew away!
