Traveling through 1942 with space

This ravine is very close to the nearby forest. If it were morning or afternoon, Hou Xiaoge would never dare to bring anyone here. In case they encountered large carnivores, it would be like a takeaway being delivered to their door.

But now is the hottest time of the day. The yellow earth feels hot even through the straw sandals, not to mention the carnivores wearing leather. They must be hiding in the cave and taking a nap!

I have to say, we really came to the right place in this ravine. Although it looks bare on top, there is actually a lot of green below.

The two brothers pulled each other and slid down the roadless dirt slope, heading straight for the green part.

"Heiwa, look, there are sour dates." Erhuan couldn't help drooling when he saw the red and green sour dates, and ran over.

Hou Xiaoge naturally saw it as well, but his attention was not on the sour dates. Instead, he discovered something better.

When his mental power was released, he saw a huge black and yellow-striped snake as thick as an arm coiled in a dirt hole covered by grass not far away. It looked like it was about two meters long.

No matter whether snakes are poisonous or not, few people are not afraid of them when they see them. Although Hou Xiaoge has lived two lives as a human, he is also afraid of snakes.

However, Hou Xiaoge did not shout out immediately. Instead, he prepared to call Erhuan later to confirm whether the snake was poisonous or not before taking action.

After checking the surroundings, they found no other danger except scorpions and mosquitoes hiding in the cracks in the soil. Hou Xiaoge also walked over and collected the sour jujubes and jujube leaves with Erhuan, eating them as well.

These jujube trees were not big. After half an hour, the two of them had harvested almost one pound of jujubes and three or four pounds of jujube leaves by plucking more than a dozen trees.

After picking the sour jujube leaves, the two brothers were not idle either. They started picking wild vegetables and weeds on the ground.

However, compared to leaves, the roots and stems of weeds are more nutritious and easier to fill your stomach.

But the weeds had strong roots and stems, and even an adult couldn't pull them out, let alone a child. Fortunately, both of them were armed with two sickles when they came out.

With the help of sickles, they could cut the wild vegetables very quickly. In less than half an hour, the two of them had cut all the weeds.

"Brother Erhuan, come here quickly. There is a hole in the earth here. There should be something inside." Hou Xiaoge gently cut away the pile of grass that was blocking the snake hole and called his cousin Erhuan.

"Let me dig it out, let me dig it out!" Er Huan was very excited. He rolled up his tattered sleeves and was about to put his hand into the hole.

"Oh, oh, oh! There are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants in this ravine. It would be bad if there was a poisonous snake in it. Find a stick and try to poke it." Hou Xiaoge knew that there was a snake in the cave, so he quickly stopped Erhuan's reckless behavior.

Although Hou Xiaoge guessed that the snake in the cave was a rat snake based on his experience in his previous life, being bitten by such a large snake, regardless of whether it was poisonous or not, was no joke.

"Okay, poke it with a stick." Erhuan was also startled when he heard there was a snake.

While Erhuan was poking the snake hole, Hou Xiaoge also found a one-meter-long stick and hid aside, waiting for the snake to come out of the hole to make sure whether it was poisonous or not before beating it.

"Fizz!"

With a whoosh, a big snake more than two meters long shot out of the hole.

“Eh!”

Seeing the big snake rushing out, Er Huan was so scared that he hid aside.

"Brother Erhuan, come and check if this snake is poisonous or not. Is it a rat snake?" Hou Xiaoge shouted to Erhuan while chasing.

"Don't be anxious, let me see! It's a rat snake for sure." Er Huan shouted excitedly after seeing the big snake clearly.

Since it is confirmed that it is not a poisonous snake, what are you waiting for? Just do it. Hou Xiaoge picked up the stick and started hitting it.

However, the two-meter-long snake was very strong. With Hou Xiaoge's current strength, he could not kill it with a stick. If it ran away, the loss would be great.

However, although this big snake weighs only three to five kilograms at most, Hou Xiaoge suppressed his fear of snakes and used his mental power to suppress the big snake. He then used a sickle to behead the rat snake as a warning to others.

"Heiwa, you have great swordsmanship." Erhuan's eyes were full of admiration when he saw Hou Xiaoge chop the big snake with a sickle.

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile!" Hou Xiaoge couldn't help but feel excited as he looked at the big snake he had killed.

Erhuan put the big snake into the backpack, and the two brothers walked around the ravine.

After half an hour, we had a rich harvest, three big rats, two adult rabbits and a litter of little ones.

Especially the wild rabbit, Hou Xiaoge's mouth was almost stretched to his ears due to his smile.

Of course, Hou Xiaoge used his mental power to collect all the hares into the space, but when he found a mouse, he called his cousin Erhuan to catch it together.

However, the three mice were also a big harvest, each weighing more than half a kilogram, and one of them even weighed more than a kilogram, which was simply a giant among mice.

"Heiwa, this rat is so big." Er Huan laughed happily because he had meat to eat.

"Just kill it. Otherwise, it will squeak all the way and get discovered. It would be bad." Hou Xiaoge said quickly when he saw Erhuan holding a mouse and looking at it.

"middle!"

When Erhuan heard the words "discovered", he was so frightened that he smashed the mouse's head flat with a stone.

"This is so disgusting, just eat it yourself!" Hou Xiaoge looked at the bloody rat that was smashed into pieces by Erhuan with a look of disgust on his face.

"Hehe! Then I'll roast it and eat it later. The roasted rat will sizzle and smell so good." Erhuan looked at the rat with excitement.

"It's getting late, let's go back quickly! Otherwise, uncle and the others will be worried." Hou Xiaoge glanced at the sun. The two of them had been out for more than an hour.

"Yes, I'll listen to you, but I have to eat the roasted rat first before I go back."

Erhuan now obeys Hou Xiaoge's words, but he still misses his roasted rat.

"Let's go to the cave where I roasted mice yesterday morning! This ditch is too close to the forest, and I'm afraid the wolves will smell the scent and come over." Hou Xiaoge said, looking at the forest not far away.

Hearing the wolf, Erhuan was also anxious to eat the roasted mouse, so he pulled Hou Xiaoge and hurried back.

"Erhuan, what do you see there? Why are there so many human bones? Did the wolves carry people away and eat them?"

On the way back, passing by a mountain corner, Hou Xiaoge was shocked to see a lot of bones scattered in the ravine below.

"This is Dead Baby Valley! There are dirty things there, let's go quickly." Erhuan pulled Hou Xiaoge and walked away quickly, as if he had seen something scary.

Hou Xiaoge had actually heard of the term "Dead Baby Ditch" in his previous life. It was the place where people used to throw away unwanted children or children who died of illness.

As for why they were not buried, one reason is that children cannot be buried in ancestral graves, and the other is that unwanted children were abandoned in one place, which made it easier for childless people to pick them up.

When Hou Xiaoge was a child in his previous life, he often heard his grandfather talk about Siwagou, but he always thought it was just a legend. He didn't expect that he would actually see it today.

His expression changed. Hou Xiaoge was afraid that something dirty might appear, so he quickly followed Erhuan out of the ravine.

"Heiwa, I'll give you half of the roasted rat. I think that's very kind of me! But don't tell my dad that we were eating roasted rat." Erhuan said as he held up the sizzling roasted rat and was about to share half with Xiaoge.

"I won't eat the roasted rat, so give me all the pound of sour dates!"

Hou Xiaoge thought that these rats might have eaten the human flesh in Siwagou, and now he had no interest in rat meat at all.

"No problem, I'll give you all the sour dates and I'll keep the roasted mouse. As for Heiwa, I'll eat him without hesitation!" Without waiting for Xiaoge's response, Erhuan started eating with big mouthfuls of his mouthfuls, smiling broadly.
