Xie Yi made the cage and sat beside Ke Tu.

"How is Lang Ye's injury?"

"It's healed." Speaking of this, Ah Qing's mood improved a little, "Xie Yi, your medicine is very effective, and the wound healed much faster than before. "

"I made a few more bottles of medicine, and you can take them to share with everyone later." Xie Yixin took out the medicine powder and put it aside, "Where is the hunting place you mentioned just now?"

"It is the highest one in the east. That mountain."

"It would take a day to go to that place." The mountain has obvious characteristics, and it looks dark from a distance, and it must be densely populated with trees.

"Stay here for one night after hunting. If there are too few prey, we may stay for a few more days." Ketu was planning, "When you go, bring more arrows and stone spears..."

"You and I Let's go together."

"No," Ketu shook his head, "only part of the hunting warriors will go, you and others can hunt nearby." He paused, "If we don't come back, you don't want to go to that place. Xie Yi was stunned for

a moment, and when Ke Tu said that he might not come back, his heart suddenly tugged. "I'm going with Ah Qing, you stay in the cave. You are the chief of the clan, and your back injury hasn't healed yet, so you can't hunt even if you go there."

"No, Xie Yi..."

"If you die there, you will die with the herd clansmen. What's the difference?" Xie Yiyi became a little excited when he thought that Ke Tu might die in the barren mountains and old forests, "If I can't go, then you don't have to go either."

Ke Tu was very insistent this time, "No, the clan There is no food here."

"I'll think about whether there is any other way to eat food, if it doesn't work, let's go together." Xie Yi frowned, and began to think about what else could be eaten in winter.

Even if he is thrown into the ice and snow by himself, he can still survive, but there are more than 50 people in the family, men, women and children, at least in a short while...

Kemu, who had been hiding in the corner when he heard about the stocking, heard the two suddenly quarreling, and moved over timidly, "Brother, brother Xie Yi, the rabbits I raised have grown bigger...can be eaten by the people, Goshawk If you want to eat meat, I won't raise it anymore."

Xie Yi knew that his tone was a bit aggressive just now, and he might have frightened him, so he said slowly, "No, you can raise it first, maybe you will have a baby rabbit in a while That's right."

By the way, the field mouse that Kemu hunted last time!

Xie Yi asked Kemu, "Where did you hunt the rats last time?" Rats are timid and generally don't leave their nests too far, and their ability to store food is also top-notch.

"It's just to the east, near the mountain where Dolu and I often go."

"So, Ah Qing, you guys are still hunting nearby tomorrow. Guo Li and I will take our women and children to dig mouse holes. If we don't find enough food by then , let's talk about hunting in the deep mountains."

"Okay." Ah Qing nodded, he and his clansmen have seen the changes in the clan since Xie Yi came, and they also trust the messenger of God.

"Ke Tu, you will come with me tomorrow." Xie Yi was worried about Ke Tu's back injury, and didn't want him to go hunting, but he also knew that according to his temper, he would definitely not be idle.

The next day, a group of people brought stone shovels and stone knives made by Shishi, and the children carried bamboo bows, and went to the place where Kemu hunted mice.

Weeds are overgrown in the mountains and forests, and the mouse hole is really hard to find. Fortunately, the people who came this time were all careful women and children who love to play. It didn't take long to find a suspected hole.

Several children were very interested in digging holes, and Kemu and Duolu worked very hard in the middle.

Most of the mouse holes going upwards are secondary holes and false holes, Xie Yi asked them to dig down along the direction of the holes.

The rats in the cave were alarmed and ran out from other openings, and Ke Tuyi shot one of them down with a crossbow arrow. After seeing Ke Tuyi, Ke Mu stopped digging and just stood guard nearby with his bow and arrows. In the end, no mouse came out again.

The diggers found the mouse's granary after two shifts.

The food in the rat barn is arranged very carefully, every kind of food is stacked in one place, and the walls of the cave are dry and well preserved. Xie took a look. There were soybeans, corn, millet, wheat, and oats in it. There were many kinds of them, among which soybeans and corn were the most.

Xie Yi asked them to use the bags they had prepared long ago to sort and pack the things, and then began to dig the next mouse hole.

When digging again, it was much faster. Duolu and Kemu looked around with the other two children holding bows and arrows, and they actually shot a few fat mice for them.

Xie Yi and Ke Tu sat on the side, Xie Yi told Ke Tu how to use the dug grain, and when he was talking about corn grits, exclamations came from the digging crowd.

"Hey, what is this?"

"Long worm, go away, you will die if you are bitten by this thing." As soon as Guoli

's voice fell, everyone took a few steps back. After a while, someone said cautiously , "Why is it not moving, is it dead?"

"I don't know, should we still dig?"

"Let me take a look." Xie Yi pushed aside the crowd and walked over, and saw a thick arm coiled in the dug hole. The red striped snake, motionless, apparently hibernating.

"It doesn't matter, it will sleep when the weather turns cold." Xie Yi stretched out his hand to pinch the snake's seven inches, but Ketu's arrow was caught by his hand faster, it "swished" through the snake's head and nailed it. on the ground.

"Don't touch this, you'll die if you get bitten." Ketu and the others also encountered long worms when they were hunting, and some members of the tribe died within a few steps after being bitten.

Xie smiled at him, and brought up the dead snake for everyone to see, "Don't panic when you meet this one next time, because it runs much faster than people, and if you hit it on the seven inches or on the head, it's easy to kill it." It can kill it," Xie Yi compared the position of seven inches on the snake's body, "generally the position of seven inches is close to the head, this long insect is probably here."

Xie Yi also had no way to tell them about the ratio, so he could only briefly talk about it, and then put the snake into the animal skin bag and asked them to continue digging.

"Go back tonight and make something delicious for you." Xie Yi shook the animal skin bag with a smile on his face.

This time digging the mouse hole was quite fruitful, except for more than twenty fat mice, everyone brought a full set of household items, including the two bamboo baskets brought by Qing Shui and A Hua.

A basket of grain was too heavy to carry, so Xie Yi helped Qing Shui carry the bamboo basket, and the other strong women in the clan took turns to carry it.

After returning home, Xie Xie left a part of each kind of grain full of grains, and planned to try to grow seeds next year. Others picked out wheat and corn and asked them to wash and dry them first, so that they could be ground into flour tomorrow.

With the food, Ke Tu feels much more at ease, and what Xie Yi said is delicious is what he never forgets.

"You're really on par with Ah Hua, foodie!" Xie Yi finished complaining, and took out the snake to deal with it.

He skinned the snake and took out the gallbladder, then tied the gallbladder duct with a thread and hung it aside to dry. This thing can be given to Wusi later, he is definitely interested.

Xie Yiyi divided the snake into two parts, cut one part into meat sections about ten centimeters, poured oil into a clay pot to heat, put in dried chili, ginger and snake meat and stir-fried for a while, poured bone soup and stewed until the snake meat Seventy percent is rotten, then take out the meat and soup separately. Pour a little more oil and stir-fry the red pepper until fragrant, pour the snake meat into the pan and stir-fry twice.

Cut the other smaller portion into shreds, add minced ginger and a little pepper powder and stir-fry for a few times, then add the broth that has just been made and simmer until it is cooked.

The snake meat soup is delicious, and the spicy snake meat is tender and delicious, allowing the three of them to feast on it.

"Brother, shall we still dig mouse holes? I want to catch some more worms to eat." Ke Mu finished feeding the eagle and rabbit, and hung up beside Ke Tu.

"Tomorrow."
