Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Early the next morning, the sky was still a hazy dark blue, with numerous stars still hanging in the sky, as if the guardian of the night refused to leave.

Xia Shengsheng stood in the yard, feeling the breeze gently brushing across her cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness that made her shiver.

"It's so cold! It's almost May and it's still so cold. The north is just not as good as the south!"

Xia Shengsheng couldn't help but sigh, even though she had lived in the north longer than in the south.

I also prefer the snow in the north in winter, but the warm climate in the south is also fascinating.

Gradually, the eastern sky began to turn pale, as if it was the prelude to the night.

The faint light gradually spread out, dyeing the sky a light blue, and the stars slowly disappeared in the gradually brightening sky.

Xia Shengsheng also started a busy day.

While I was boiling water for the children to wash their faces, Liu Yiyi and Liu Ercheng also came out of the house, dressed neatly.

"Why are you two up so early?"

There is still some time before the morning jog. Normally, no one gets up so early.

Because Xia Shengsheng wanted to go up the mountain today and then go to the town to arrange matters related to building a house, he got up earlier than usual.

"Mom, let me help you cook." Liu Yiyi took over the work from Xia Shengsheng.

Liu Ercheng stood there, rubbing the corner of his clothes and said, "Mom, didn't you say you would teach me kung fu and hunting skills?"

Xia Shengsheng slapped his forehead.

Oops! I forgot!

"Okay, let's start now. Let's go to the yard."

Ercheng followed Xia Shengsheng happily, extremely excited.

I thought my mother would teach him some unique martial arts.

But unexpectedly, her mother actually asked him to squat in a horse stance.

“In addition to running with everyone for half an hour every day, you can practice at home for half an hour by yourself. Don’t run around the yard, run around the entire village.

Every day before everyone gets up, you should squat in horse stance for half an hour.

When your foundation is solid, I will teach you some tricks."

Xia Shengsheng thought that he had to make a small bow and arrow suitable for Ercheng.

Although I haven't planned to let him go up the mountain in the next few years, it's okay to start training in advance.

After correcting Ercheng's horse stance several times and feeling that it was almost right, Xia Shengsheng let Ercheng practice on his own while she continued to cook.

Ercheng, who had been squatting in horse stance without saying a word, was thinking in his heart: Does my mother not know any martial arts at all?

Otherwise, why didn't they teach me any moves? Instead, they made me squat like I was going to the toilet.

Don’t mention it, I’m really tired and my legs feel so sore!

But I will definitely persevere and not let my mother look down on me.

While Xia Shengsheng was making the meat stuffing, she looked at the children in the yard and laughed secretly in her heart.

This is just the beginning, the tiring times are yet to come!

Ercheng could indeed hold on at the beginning, but after a while, he became more and more tired, his legs were so sore and he felt his legs were shaking.

Despite his own perseverance, he couldn't hold on for half an hour before he collapsed.

Xia Shengsheng heard the noise in the kitchen, but didn't come out. She just shouted at Ercheng.

"If you really can't do it, take a break and go get your brothers and sisters to get up and eat. After dinner, you guys can run."

Liu Ercheng really couldn't hold on any longer and felt like he didn't even have the strength to get up.

After hearing what Xia Shengsheng said, he still had the strength to get up from the ground and go to wake up his younger brother and sister-in-law.

Xia Shengsheng baked more than 20 pies, made a pot of spinach and egg soup, and prepared a handful of nuts for each child. Eating more nuts can supplement calcium.

After breakfast, Liu Yiyi helped Xia Shengsheng wrap two stuffed pancakes and filled a bamboo tube with water. Xia Shengsheng carried the backpack, told the children to cook their own lunch, and set off with a bow and arrow.

The closer you get to the mountain, the more you can feel the fresh scent of grass and trees in the air, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.

From time to time, some birds flew by, some landed on the branches of the trees, chirping non-stop, adding a bit of joy to this quiet morning.

Xia Shengsheng's figure gradually disappeared into the forest.

Zhu Wen, who was standing on the outskirts of the mountain and checking the pits and traps for prey, saw Xia Shengsheng entering the mountain and said, "Are you going to die?"

Xia Shengsheng's trip up the mountain this time was a little different from the previous times.

I could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the mountains was different.

The smell of blood is particularly strong.

This forced Xia Shengsheng to take it seriously.

The deeper they went into the mountains, the stronger the smell of blood became. Xia Shengsheng followed the smell and gradually found the place where the smell came from, wanting to find out what had happened to cause the entire forest to be filled with such a strong smell of blood.

Finally, after walking for more than an hour, I gradually caught some traces.

Behind the trees in the distance, there seemed to be wild fog crawling.

Xia Shengsheng saw a big tree nearby and climbed up swiftly.

Look carefully in the direction of the sound.

Only then did he discover the scene that surprised Xia Shengsheng.

The remains of corpses were scattered all over the ground, all eaten by wild beasts.

But from the fur on the ground, it can be identified that the remains here should be wolves. There are probably about a dozen of them, and this is the number of remains left.

A brown-haired beast was lying on the ground and continuing to eat.

At first Xia Shengsheng thought it was another wild boar!

When the beast on the ground has almost finished eating, it raises its head and licks its paws.

Xia Shengsheng then realized that it was a brown bear, and judging from its physique, it probably weighed about three or four hundred kilograms.

Isn't it said that bears don't eat dead creatures?

This?

This guy looks like he's eating a lot! He looks quite skilled.

Sure enough, the rumors were not credible.

Xia Shengsheng has never had a head-on confrontation with a bear.

But you can imagine that a bear is stronger than a wild boar.

Although its movements may not be as agile as a wild boar, its strength is dozens of times that of a wild boar.

A big tree can be broken with just one slap.

If a person gets slapped in the face, there is almost no chance of survival.

Xia Shengsheng didn't dare to take any risks and didn't even dare to make a sound.

She admitted that she was a coward.

But what if she was timid? In this place where there was no village or shop nearby, it seemed that no one could laugh at her.

People should be cowardly when they need to be cowardly. What matters is to protect themselves from harm and save their lives.

Xia Shengsheng quietly climbed down the tree and left the dangerous area silently.

Walking in the opposite direction.

After we were far away and made sure that the brown bear could not find us, we dared to shoot the first arrow of the day when we saw the small animal!

A skinny gray rabbit, it looks like it weighs only three or four pounds, and after removing the fur, only a skeleton is left.

"It's really not good!"

Xia Shengsheng put the hare in the basket on his back and continued searching in the mountains.
