Porridge and side dishes [farming]

Er Gouzi shook his head: "No, if you eat people, you won't put down your things and leave."

Er Gouzi just doesn't understand common sense, but it doesn't mean he's really stupid.And hunting also depends on the brain.What Er Gouzi said made sense, Li Ji felt sleepy, and started talking to Er Gouzi to divert his attention, at this time Er Gouzi suddenly reached out and blocked Li Ji's mouth.

Before Li Ji could react, Er Gouzi whispered, "Here we come."

Then Er Gouzi went down the kang lightly, put on his shoes, and stood at the door of the outer room with his ears pressed against the door, listening.

Little Tail seemed to be humming twice, but he didn't dare to call out, keeping his voice very low.It's no wonder that even the vigilant Er Gouzi couldn't wake up with such a sound.

Ergouzi made a judgment, opened the door suddenly and rushed out.

Li Ji hurriedly dug out the fire book, lit the oil lamp and followed out.

When Li Ji arrived at the gate, Er Gouzi had already pinned the unlucky guy to the ground.

When Li Ji approached and took a look, he was stunned.Li Ji, who was pinned to the ground and struggled, knew that he was the mountain wolf who met each other.

And there was a dead yellow skin beside the wolf, obviously it was today's "gift".

"Er Gouzi, take it easy, it shouldn't be healed yet, don't break it anymore." Li Ji couldn't laugh or cry, Er Gouzi let go of Li Ji's words, and the wolf broke free from the bondage and ran away in a blink of an eye. .

After running a few feet away, it still looked back.The distance was too far, Li Ji couldn't see his expression, he could only see the shadow, the wolf's eyes reflected the light of the oil lamp, it looked a little scary.

Li Ji squatted down and picked up the dead yellow skin, and smiled at the wolf: "Thank you, but don't send it here in the future. If the villagers see it, they will beat you to death."

Of course the wolf didn't understand these words. Seeing Li Ji picked up the yellow leather bag, it turned around and jumped a few times before disappearing.

Li Ji turned to look at Er Gouzi and smiled helplessly: "It is said that this animal has human nature. I gave him some medicine a few days ago and he started delivering things to our house."

This is at least better than some people. They also used medicine. The wolf didn't know the value of the medicine. He only knew that he would send prey every night after saving him. Gao Orion's family on the other side didn't hear a word of thanks.Of course, the possibility that his family would be ashamed to come is not ruled out.

"The leather is all bitten." Er Gouzi said.

Li Ji likes leather, and he likes complete leather, so Er Gouzi will try his best to satisfy this every time he hunts.When I first met Li Ji, Li Ji once lost his temper because of a yellow skin. Er Gouzi remembered very clearly that this skin was broken, and he was afraid that Li Ji would be unhappy.

How did Li Ji know the twists and turns in Er Gouzi's stomach?I just thought Ergouzi really cared about Pizi.

"It's okay, it's good for us to keep it for ourselves, but we can't always take other people's things for nothing, just keep the skin. Let's stew the meat and send it to the mountains. If he comes every day, he will definitely be able to eat it."

Although Li Ji was afraid, this wolf repayment gave Li Ji a different experience.He suddenly looked forward to getting along with the wolf.In fact, it would be nice to make friends with wolves in this way.

The wolf saved his life at the beginning, and he saved the wolf's life later on. Many people don't have this fate.

What Li Ji said, Er Gouzi never had any other thoughts, first removed the yellow skin, put it in a cool place, and the two of them lay down on the kang to sleep, and the next morning they got up and finished stewing the pig food Brush the pot clean and stew the yellow skin.When the two people's food is ready to eat, the stew here is almost ready.

Find a small pot that you don't usually use to put the meat in, walk up the road up the mountain, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, you see a stone in the bushes by the side of the road, so you put the meat pot on it.

The two of them went home and went to see if the meat was eaten tomorrow. If they did, they would send the meat over in the future.

It's not too troublesome, after all, the skin Li Ji sent over is kept.

The weather is getting colder, and this year is dry. At this time, the food is harvested, and the villagers have a rare leisure time.But at this time, the villagers found that the stream was getting smaller and smaller by using water.

Every household is struggling to store water. Seeing the stream getting smaller and smaller, they feel more and more uneasy.

Li Ji and Er Gouzi were carrying water upstream, and they also noticed this.Li Ji went back to the village to inquire, and everyone asked about the old man of the Li family.

The word from the old man of the Li family is that this stream has been passed down for generations and has never been cut off.

The small village in the village has been the source for several lifetimes.Back then, they came to this barren land after escaping from drought and famine. Because the surrounding area was dry, there was only one stream here that kept flowing through the years, so they all settled down by the stream.Counting hundreds of years, no great drought has ever stopped flowing. It can be said that the village is counting on this stream for survival.

If the stream really stops flowing one day, the villagers will probably have to leave their homes for a place where they can dig wells.

The stream is getting smaller and smaller, and now it looks like a basin. It takes half a day to fetch water and fill it into a bucket. Now the village can't wait to block the water source so that not a drop of water will flow out.

Although they have this idea, no one is so wicked. There must be people in the downstream pointing at this stream to survive. This is the case in the villages far from the water source on the mountain. The people in the downstream must be more short of water.

If you can't cut off the downstream way of life, you can only go upstream to find it.If you look for the upper reaches, you must go into the deep mountains. The ancestors have a legacy that you can't go to the mountains to be dangerous. Why don't you find out the situation and drink water?

Li Ji just went to the village to inquire about it, and was stopped by the village chief to see if he could persuade Er Gouzi to take two people up the mountain to have a look. I can't explain what's going on.

There are two strong men in the village, but they are definitely not as comfortable as Er Gouzi on the mountain, so it's hard to say if something happens.

Li Ji couldn't make a decision either, so he went home and asked Er Gouzi, who shook his head when he heard it.

"The prey like to drink by the water, and all the powerful beasts hunt by the water. Walking by the water will encounter a lot of dangers."

Even Er Gouzi dare not stay by the water for a long time in the deep mountains, because there is no guarantee that the beast will come up and kill you in a flash of God's kung fu.

If you can't do it in the deep mountains, you can only look at the nearby mountains.But no matter how you look at the nearby mountains, there is no problem. The water flow on the mountain is similar to the bottom of the mountain.

If the water problem is still at the source, but no one can enter the mountain except Er Gouzi, and Er Gouzi dare not go in.

What to do became a big problem.

Since we can't figure out the reason, we can only store as much water as possible right now.Li Ji's first three large tanks, one second tank and one tank were all full, carrying buckets to fill up all the containers that could be used in the house, Li Ji also felt the tense atmosphere in the village.

I heard from the old man that such a situation has never happened in previous years. What could be the matter?

I was confused all night, got up the next morning and went, looked at the door, there were two more rabbits.Li Ji thought to himself that wolves are very powerful, and they can catch prey and send them over every day.

Li Ji went directly up the mountain to have a look. The place where the food was put yesterday was gone, and the small pot was still intact.

It seems that when the wolf came down the mountain, it ate everything it encountered.

Unspeakably satisfied, Li Ji went home and stewed the two rabbits before sending them to the mountain.

Such scraps of skin have been saved at home, and the price of selling them is only half of the whole skin, so it is better to keep them at home.I made a few pairs of insoles, and it would be nice to piece together the rest to make a cushion or something.

Picking up the prey at the door in the morning, stewing it and then sending it up the mountain, it actually lasted for a few days.

Just a few days later, the stream stopped flowing completely.

Although the weather has turned cooler, there has not been a single autumn rain.It seems that winter will last for a while, how can people live without water?

Now every household is not short of water, but they are already worried, and some sentimental ones start to wipe their tears, thinking about what to do when the water runs out before it snows, whether to go to relatives or simply move out of here .

Li Ji's family is the one with the least water shortage for the time being. If the water in the house is only used for daily cooking and drinking, it will be no problem for a month or two. If you save it for three months, you can survive. It must be winter by then.

It's just that there is no autumn rain now, can it really snow in winter?

Li Ji, who was thinking long-term, also began to feel anxious.

It is the village head who worries most about this kind of thing.It is impossible to let the people in the village die of thirst.The remote village is a bit remote, and it is still a little far away from other villages.

Even so, the stupid method should be used.

Don't you dare to go up the mountain, and don't you dare to go far to borrow water from other villages with wells?Not to mention borrowing water, even buying water is easy as long as the draft problem is solved.

In the end, I made an agreement with a village ten miles away, and I would go there to fetch water once in two or three days, and I would only charge three Wen for a car.

Wooden carts cannot hold water tanks, and the water tanks are too heavy, so only buckets can be used. However, if the buckets are staggered and stacked together, they can hold a lot of water. Three penny is not much, and one penny is enough to buy it from door to door for a long time. water.

It is no problem to transport the water back to the family with half a bucket, and it is no problem to stick to it for two or three days.

Li Ji's family was also counted, and they also paid for the water to come every day.

The original stream water in the village is spring water from the mountains, which tastes sweet, and it tastes good when you drink snow-melted water in winter. Some people have never drank well water since they were young, and they were really uncomfortable when they first drank it.

But I'm not used to drinking and there is no other water to use.

Li Ji’s family raises a lot of open-mouthed beasts. Cows and pigs consume a lot of water. Three and a half buckets of water are definitely not enough. In the end, Li Ji’s family simply staggered with others and did not use the water bought together in the village. Time to buy one.Because there are only five or six barrels in total, and people only charge one copper coin to buy water, so Li Ji can afford it.

There is such a household that has the least water shortage in the whole village, and that is the firewood pond owner who runs a fish pond. However, there are still fish in the fish pond, so the water is also tight, and the fish needs to be changed. For this reason, he was also very worried.
