The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

Xu Shi was worried that he would be targeted by the horse bandits. Gu Danian did not need Gu Qi's special instructions. Gu Danian speeded up his steps.

By noon, the two of them simply ate something and didn't stop to rest. They just hurry up.

Until nightfall, I found a secluded place to make a fire and rest.This place is close to the border, and there are no people along the way, let alone the villages and towns.

However, Gu Qi noticed that the mountains in this area were gradually becoming lush.

Many trees were luxuriant, and Gu Qi plucked a handful of weeds along the way, crushed them lightly, and dipped his hands with green and sticky sap.

Gu Qi asked Gu Danian to make some food, and he planned to walk up the mountain.

The vegetation is growing well, not only because the place is remote and uninhabited, but also because there is a water source here.There is not much water in the water bladder, not enough water and food will affect tomorrow's footsteps.

Following the growth traces of the plants and leaves, Gu Qi saw a stream of water babbling down from the mountain after walking a cup of tea.Meandering and converging into a creek.

The stream is not big, but the water is exceptionally clear.

Gu Qi took a sip. The water was clean and sweet, and it was the best water Gu Qi had ever drank.It is much better than the well water bought by Huayinzi in Yuanan Town.

Gu Qi filled the water bladder on his body with water from the stream.Seeing that the terrain on the edge of the stream was fairly even, he took advantage of the night to punch for another hour.

After sweating profusely, I gave myself a good scrub with the stream water.Although there is no clean new clothes to change, it is also much refreshed.

Since crossing over, it has always been difficult to use water, and I can't take care of eating and drinking every day, and it is naturally even more difficult to wash.If you can save some water on weekdays, rinse your mouth and brush your teeth at most, and wipe your face when you are lucky.

It is extravagant to be able to carefully clean up like this tonight, and to wash the withered and yellow hair that is attached.

After cleaning up, pulling up his hair, and tying a ponytail, Gu Qi found some wild fruits nearby along the stream.

Gu Qi tasted one, it tasted sweet and sour, not too delicious.The advantage is that it is juicy and refreshing, so I simply carried it down to improve Gu Danian's meals.

On the way down the mountain, Gu Qi also accidentally found a nest of bird eggs.It was definitely a surprise for Gu Qi, who had not eaten meat and fish for several months.

This bad body needs too much protein to build muscle.

Sure enough, when trees move to death, people move to live.

With water and lush vegetation, as long as you go further south, the situation will only get better and you may see many animals by then.

Gu Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that it would never be the same again when he stayed in Linping Mountain, where the entire mountain top was bare for dozens of miles, not to mention living creatures, and it was hard to find even a grass lump.

It's inconvenient to do things late at night now.

Gu Qi decided to wait until tomorrow to find a time to go up the mountain to have a look.If you can hunt some pheasants and the like, the life along the way will be much easier.

With the snack of bird eggs, Gu Danian's face also looked better, swept away the previous decadence.Hearing Gu Qi explain that he wants to go up the mountain again to take a look,

Gu Danian volunteered: "Then daddy will go up with you tomorrow, and daddy will help you."

"Don't you feel tired?" Gu Qi glanced at Gu Danian.

Gu Danian didn't feel embarrassed either, and said with a naive smile, "When you're full, you'll have energy, but you won't be tired."

Gu Qi didn't refuse. Although Gu Danian couldn't be of much help in hunting, it would be good to gather some firewood and gather some wild vegetables and fruits.

The next morning, the two of them had a full meal and went all the way to the south, approaching Shishi.

Gu Qi took Gu Danian along a mountain and entered the forest.The mountains here are continuous, and there are no people all year round, so Gu Qi did not take Gu Danian into the deep forest for fear of wild animals.

He only pointed some wild vegetables and fruits along the road for Gu Danian to pick. When he encountered the available medicinal materials, Gu Qi started to dig carefully.Gu Danian didn't understand the properties of medicine, and he didn't have the tools at hand.

"Let's rest here first." After finding a puddle, Gu Qi instructed Gu Danian to take care of his luggage and replenish the water bag, while he took the dagger and walked to another place.

She noticed the wild fruits here just now, and there were tooth marks gnawed by some small animals. If she carefully distinguished the traces of soil and grass around her, she could also see that there must be small prey such as pheasants and hares.

Without a shotgun or a bow and arrow, Gu Qi could only use a dagger to patiently cut a small slingshot for himself, and use bamboo as a string.Gu Qi's manual work is average, the simple slingshot is not strong, but it is enough to hit a pheasant at close range.

Following the traces, Gu Qi was lucky and soon saw a pheasant.

"It's pretty fat."

Gu Qi carefully hides his figure.Squinting slightly, the hand holding the slingshot turned, only to hear a small sound of stones penetrating the air, followed by a rooster.The stone hit the pheasant's neck with enough force.

He cut a vine branch and tied the pheasant to the side. Gu Qi listened to the movement behind the grass and walked in a few steps. Sure enough, he saw two pheasants and a nest of wild eggs not far away.

Now that the weather is hot, and we are in a hurry to travel, too much meat is not easy to store.Gu Qi thought about it and decided not to kill them all.

When he got up, two stones shot out one after another, and the startled two pheasants flew in a panic.Gu Qi easily collected the wild eggs and brought the unfortunate pheasant that had been half-dazed before to fight with Gu Danian.

The two went down the mountain and simply cleaned up the pheasant. There was not enough seasoning. Gu Qi hollowed out the belly of the pheasant and stuffed some wild chrysanthemums and wild fruits into it.Then use the sour fruit to squeeze out the juice and spread it on the surface of the chicken.

It takes too long to stew soup, and it is not convenient to carry. It is best to barbecue.

A nest of wild eggs is enough for ten, and raw wild eggs are inconvenient to carry, so Gu Qi boiled the eggs.

Gu Danian and Gu Danian ate whole grain flour cakes, ate two wild eggs and half a pheasant each, packed up the rest of the food, and covered the bamboo basket with leaves and grass for shade, against the bright sky. , continue on your way.

......

"Girl, is there a fire in front of you?!"

The two walked all the way until it was completely dark, and they could not find a suitable place to stay.Just as he was about to leave for a while, Gu Danian was the first to see the fire not far away, and said in surprise.
