Quick travel: the life of smuggling is so exciting

For some reason, within less than three days of traveling through time, Lin Xia's lively side was completely aroused, even though she was an aloof and cold young lady in modern times.

Perhaps it is because there is no cautiousness from teachers and classmates here, no sympathetic gazes from acquaintances, and no caring words from kind-hearted people who visit at any time.

Here, she is in good health. As long as she avoids the current natural disasters and the upcoming chaos and reaches the heroine's base camp, she will have the sea to swim freely and the sky to fly freely for birds. A bright future is waiting for her!

I had strayed from the topic. Coming back to my senses, Lin Xia broke off a few thin branches from the tree, strung the cicadas into a string, and roasted them over the fire.

Slowly, an enticing aroma of meat came. Lin Xia kept swallowing her saliva and roasted the cicadas with great self-control.

She pulled one down with her hands, and it burned so much that she threw it between her left and right hands, and finally it fell to the ground.

Lin Xia didn't mind, she picked it up, blew on it, and couldn't wait to put it in her mouth.

"hiss"

It’s still so hot!

She turned the cicada over and over in her mouth before she could successfully bite off the flesh.

The shell is crispy, the flavor lingers on your lips and teeth, and the unique meaty flavor of protein...

Lin Xia enjoyed her delicious food with satisfaction.

It’s not easy. It’s the first time I’ve tasted normal food in a few days, but it tastes a bit bland, as if I forgot to add salt.

I sprinkled salt on the cicadas and ate several of them to satisfy my appetite.

The original owner's body had not eaten meat for three months. Lin Xia didn't dare to eat too much, for fear of gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea. Eating in vain was secondary, but she was afraid of death from dehydration that could not be cured by medicine.

It took more than half an hour to roast the remaining cicadas, and only half of the water in the earthenware jar had accumulated. It seemed that it would take another two or three hours to fill it up with water.

Lin Xia immediately decided to explore the surroundings and look for edible wild vegetables.

In addition to protein, vitamins are also essential.

Maybe there is really an abundant water source here, and the weeds around are very dense.

Lin Xia searched carefully inch by inch within a radius of 50 meters, and finally found a familiar wild vegetable in the east - gray-gray vegetable.

Gray-gray vegetable is a delicious wild vegetable, often available in gray-green and purple-red colors. It is not only a wild vegetable, but also a Chinese medicine with the effect of clearing heat and dampness, and treating wind-heat colds. The leaves are serrated and the back is often gray-white.

The bunch of gray-gray vegetables she found was shorter than what she usually saw. Gray-gray vegetables prefer cool climates, but now that the weather is hot, most of them have become dwarfed.

She cut down all the gray vegetables without hesitation, a whole bunch.

In fact, people usually eat the tenderer leaves of the gray vegetable, but in special periods, they cannot be so particular and all of them are left behind.

Cut all the ash greens into small pieces, pour half a pot of water into a broken clay pot, boil it, and blanch the ash greens without washing them.

After blanching, there didn't seem to be much of the gray vegetables left, but they still filled two full bowls.

Lin Xia found a slightly flat stone slab, rinsed it with boiling water from the broken clay pot, and then dried all the gray vegetables in the sun.

She is not planning to eat them now. The agave is a light-sensitive plant and cannot be exposed to the sun after eating, otherwise it will cause poisoning and redness, swelling and itching.

So I have to eat it at night.

After dealing with the gray vegetables, we continued to look for the other side.

This piece of land is truly a treasure trove. Not only can we see wild peas with small purple-red flowers, but we can also see a bunch of yellow-flowered Gelsemium elegans, also known as Gelsemium elegans.

The poison of Gelsemium elegans is very strong. It is said that Shennong died after eating it. A small amount can kill a person. Even the surrounding plants may be poisonous. With it, self-protection ability is further enhanced.

Another thing is wild peas. The wild peas in this season are too old to be eaten as vegetables, but it’s good enough that they are still edible.

Wild pea is also a traditional Chinese medicine with the effects of clearing heat, reducing inflammation and detoxifying.

Many edible wild vegetables are traditional Chinese medicine. If you have the chance, pick more to prevent diseases.

I don’t know if there are other edible wild vegetables here. Lin Xia only knows a few of them. It was her grandmother who taught her how to identify and pick them in her previous life.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt depressed. She missed her grandma a little. She was the only warmth she had in more than ten years. Since her grandma passed away, she was alone and had no worries.

Holding the wild peas, she went back and did the same thing again, but this time after they were cooked, she took a small half bowl for herself, added some salt, and mixed it.

The taste was not as good as when it was tender, but Lin Xia ate it with great satisfaction and cherished it. In just three days, she had deeply felt the preciousness of food.

After eating and drinking, she put out the fire. Seeing that it was still early, she planned to wait for an hour to dry the wild vegetables and put them away before continuing to explore the mountains. Now the food could not leave her sight at all.

She didn't just sit and rest for an hour, she was going to practice climbing trees.

Climbing a tree is not an easy task. After Lin Xia slid down from a one-meter-high tree trunk for the Nth time, she was defeated.

His hands, arms and inner legs were all scratched. Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up. Lin Xia is ready to fight again later.

This forest doesn't look like there are any large wild animals, but there is water, trees, and plants, so there should be small animals. As long as we are lucky enough, we will have no shortage of food in the future.

An hour later, the wild vegetables had dried up due to the high temperature, and Lin Xia put them into the backpack.

There was half a jar of water accumulated in the good earthenware jar. Lin Xia put it into the backpack and put away the other things.

In the end, only a broken clay pot was left to collect the water.

Although she was planning to return after searching the mountain, she was worried about leaving the clay pot here to collect water, so she had to carry her belongings with her in case of any accidents.

After packing everything up, I started to tie my legs again. It was easier to walk after tying my legs yesterday. I gave a thumbs up to the old senior in my heart. He is awesome!

Lin Xia walked towards a place that had not been explored before.

suddenly,

There was a rustling of grass in the distance. She stood still for a moment and saw a pheasant quickly running away.

Lin Xia originally dreamed of catching small animals, but then she realized that she had greatly overestimated herself.

It’s too late and I can’t catch it at all.

It flew away before she could see it clearly.

She was a little unwilling, but with her small body, the probability of her catching a pheasant was almost zero, unless she knew how to set a trap, and the key was that she didn't know how!

The only trap she knew how to set was the kind seen on TV, digging a hole and inserting sharp bamboo sticks, but this kind of trap couldn't catch pheasants, because they would fly away!

You can't catch the pheasant, but you can catch its children.

Lin Xia searched carefully in the direction of the pheasant's activities and obtained 6 pheasant eggs.

She put the eggs in her backpack and clothes with satisfaction and continued walking.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xia finished beating the weeds with a stick and heard a slight rustling sound.

not good!

No sooner said than done, a meter-long tattooed snake jumped out and headed straight for Lin Xia's calf. Just as it was about to bite her, a flash of cold light flashed, and the snake's body broke into two, with both halves still twitching.

Lin Xia was scared and broke out in a cold sweat. This snake was poisonous and she almost got bitten. She had to be more careful next time.

After the shock comes the surprise. She picks up the back half first, and uses a stick to press down the snake's head with the front half. At this time, the snake's head can still rush up and bite you, so be careful.

Use your other hand to chop off the snake's head and pick up the body.

Lin Xia has never been afraid of snakes since she was a child. When other people were disgusted and afraid of these sticky, cold-blooded creatures, she dared to catch snakes and scare other children when she was very young. She called this fearlessness the induction between fellow cold-blooded animals.

Find an open space not far away, dissect the snake on the spot, dig a hole to bury the internal organs, and then clean the snake body with water.

The whole set of movements was done smoothly and in one go.

She moved very quickly because there was a strong smell of blood here. Her previous guess that there were no large wild beasts was just a guess after all. If one was attracted, she would be in trouble.

After finishing the job, he quickly changed direction and left.
