Chapter 420 Laughter Chapter
Liu Jingxue was also in the mountains at this time, leading the villagers to collect herbs.
It has been a while since I led the villagers into the mountains to collect herbs. Many villagers in the village have already known the common herbs in the mountains and how to process and dry them.
Liu Jingxue felt that in a few days, there would be no need for her to accompany the villagers as they could go into the mountains to collect herbs on their own.
She can free her hands to do her own things.
During this period, I had to take the villagers into the mountains and neglected my cultivation.
Now that she has reached the sixth level of Qi training, she should cultivate her spiritual sense, expand the range of her spiritual sense, and after reaching the limit of the sixth level of Qi training, she can take elixirs to expand her spiritual sense.
But since I didn't have much time to practice during this period, I put this matter aside.
When the villagers no longer need to be accompanied by her into the mountains, she can resume her previous routine, working in the morning, making medicine and practicing in the afternoon, and also setting aside some time for practice in the evening.
Speaking of making medicine, when she encountered herbs that needed to be ground, sliced, or prepared by other methods in the space, she, who was equivalent to the creator of the world in the space, could complete it with just a thought.
But outside the space, although she can do these things with the help of spiritual consciousness, she still needs a set of tools to show off.
If one day I need to make medicine in front of others, I will be in a dilemma.
When I left Xinshi before, I put some of the original owner's grandfather's tools into the space, so I can take them out for emergency, but I am still missing two tools.
Liu Jingxue planned to make the two tools herself in the space and put them there in case of emergency.
Liu Jingxue was picking herbs and occasionally answering questions from villagers.
In order to ensure the safety of the villagers and the children who went into the mountains with them, she always kept her spiritual awareness outward to monitor the situation in the mountains and the production teams at the foot of the mountains.
She also overheard the conversation between Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao.
Seeing Zhao Junhao's greedy look, Liu Jingxue almost laughed out loud.
This unfortunate child, sitting on a treasure mountain but unable to hunt, can only watch the prey run rampant in front of him. It's so pitiful.
Their lives are worse than those of the villagers and those people in the cowshed.
Villagers can go up the mountain to hunt.
Every few days the people in the cowshed would deliver some fresh game, as well as cured fish and meat left over from last winter, so there would always be a meal with meat every day.
However, they were not the only two youths who could not eat meat. Except for the five youths who lived in the dormitory, no one else could eat meat.
Among the five people living in the dormitory, there were three male educated youth. The traps they set could occasionally catch one or two prey, which satisfied their cravings from time to time.
Liu Jingxue was originally puzzled. The three new male educated youth were said to have been trained since childhood, and hunting pheasants, rabbits, etc. should be a piece of cake for them. So why did they eat such vegetarian food?
But I didn't expect that it was because they were wary of each other and afraid of being reported by the other party.
"I really don't know how chaotic things are in Beijing, or what kind of psychological trauma the Zheng family has left on Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao, making them so cautious." Liu Jingxue shook her head.
So, in such turbulent times, hiding in the countryside is the safest thing to do.
However, even the countryside is not absolutely safe. It would have to be a place like the Red Star Production Brigade where the people are simple and honest and the brigade cadres don't do anything reckless.
If, as in the novels I have read before, the brigade cadres took the lead in bullying the educated youth, then the countryside would be even less safe than the city.
Although she heard the conversation between the two, Liu Jingxue did not plan to do anything. She was not their parents who could do everything for them. It was just that they could not eat meat, but they would not starve to death without rice.
Besides, the two of them were stupid. They didn’t want Zheng Pengcheng to know that they were hunting and damaging collective assets, so they wouldn’t secretly roast the meat on the mountain and eat it all before going down the mountain.
Even the children in the team would roast bird eggs and sparrows in the mountains from time to time. Two adults like them could hold their urine to death.
Liu Jingxue saw with her spiritual sense that a male villager was carrying a large load of firewood with a wild rabbit hanging on one side of the pile of firewood. He passed by not far from Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao.
Seeing the two, the villager even greeted them, "Zhou Zhiqing, Zhao Zhiqing, you didn't go to work this afternoon."
“There was not much work to do in the fields, so we simply didn’t go. We took this opportunity to chop more firewood, in case we had to work in the fields and had no time to chop firewood.
You have a good harvest today, you caught two wild rabbits." Zhou Mingxuan replied.
Since the two came here, they have been getting full work points, and the villagers have a good impression of them.
In addition, both of them are good at talking and can coax people. Unlike Zheng Pengcheng who is arrogant, they are very popular among the villagers and can chat with most people.
The villagers grinned and said, "Our harvest is just passable, not as good as yours.
You two are good at hunting, and you must have gotten more than us."
The two men felt bitter. What good were their abilities? They didn't dare to use them.
After the villagers left, Zhao Junhao sighed, "We are so miserable. Since we came here, we haven't even touched the hair of the prey, but in the eyes of the villagers, we still think we have a good harvest.
If we tell this to others, I’m afraid no one will believe it.”
"Forget it. Since we are not planning to go to town tomorrow, let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat meat." Zhou Mingxuan comforted him.
"You still have meat coupons, but I don't have any, so I can't buy meat and vegetables."
Zhou Mingxuan choked, "I don't think I have any left either. I used it up a few times before."
"What else is there to say? Just continue to eat vegetarian food."
Zhao Junhao answered weakly, and Liu Jingxue always felt that he would burst into tears in the next second.
Liu Jingxue couldn't bear to watch it any longer. These two people were too stupid.
Didn’t Grandpa Wu say that his little grandson has a sharp mind? That’s how he is.
He also said that he likes doing business. But with his inflexible attitude, he will be ripped off if he does business.
Originally, she didn't intend to care about them, but seeing how stupid they were, Liu Jingxue felt dizzy and had a headache.
Forget it, for Grandpa Wu’s sake, I should remind them.
Her eyes rolled and she came up with an idea. After scanning the presence of the hares with her spiritual sense, she immediately went over to catch them and caught three hares.
He called Tiedan who was not far away and said, "Tiedan, come here."
"Sister Xiaoxue, you called me?" Tiedan put the herbs in his hand into his grandmother's backpack and ran over happily.
"You and your friends have performed very well these days, so Sister Xiaoxue decided to reward you.
You can deal with these three prey yourselves and roast them.
You should have brought salt and seasoning, right?"
Children in the mountains learn to handle prey from a very young age.
Moreover, whenever they go into the mountains, they usually bring some salt and seasonings with them, so Liu Jingxue asked this question.
During this period, Liu Jingxue would occasionally hunt some food and roast it for the children. They had gotten used to it, and Tiedan didn't make a fuss and gladly accepted it.
"Great, we have barbecue to eat again, thank you Sister Xiaoxue.
Don't worry, Sister Xiaoxue, we have brought matches, salt and seasonings." Tiedan said happily.
"Go ahead, and remember to cover the fire when you're done to avoid causing a forest fire," Liu Jingxue reminded him, and pointed him to a place, telling them to go and grill not far from Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao.
"Okay, Sister Xiaoxue." Tiedan agreed, called his friends, and went to the place she pointed.
Liu Jingxue was not pointing blindly. There was a small pond there, which was just convenient for them to clean their prey.
I have done what I should do. I hope those two are smarter and can get some inspiration from this.
