Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Zhao Yeqing was so angry that he took a stainless steel basin filled with water and a bottle of shower gel from the bathroom in the room, walked back to the terrace and turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone.

Wild boars are afraid of strong light, but the light of the mobile phone flashlight is diffuse. She turned it on just in the hope that it would act as a little deterrent.

The wild boar, which was still squeaking in the field, seemed a little irritated when it was illuminated by the inexplicable light, and let out a low growl towards the terrace.

Zhao Yeqing raised the stainless steel basin and slapped the shower gel bottle on it! clang! clang! 'Knocking hard.

In addition to bright lights, wild boars are also afraid of loud, harsh sounds.

When the wild boar heard the sound, it was so frightened that it backed away. Zhao Yeqing was actually frightened. Looking at the wild boar's eyes shining in the darkness, she could only hit the stainless steel basin hard to try to drive it away.

The wild boar bared its sharp fangs and roared several times, but in the face of the increasingly frequent knocking sounds, it turned around and ran into the forest unwillingly.

Zhao Yeqing turned off the flashlight and stayed on the terrace for a while. After making sure that the wild boar didn't turn around and come back, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, the fields in the village at the foot of the mountain had been attacked by wild boars several times. In their area, officials would send people to kill a certain number of wild boars every year to prevent too many wild boars from coming down the mountain and affecting farmers' harvests.

At that time, we went door to door to publicize wild boar defense methods. For example, if wild boars are afraid of strong light, they can shine a bright flashlight into their eyes to drive them away. If they are also afraid of noise, they can use loudspeakers to play high-pitched music in the fields all night, or raising dogs also has a certain effect.

But none of the above three things are currently within her reach. She can't buy a bright flashlight, and she doesn't have a speaker. Besides, her vegetable patch is right outside her room. If loud music is played at night, she doesn't have to sleep.

Now the dog has nowhere to look.

Zhao Yeqing put on his coat and sat on the terrace on a small bench, thinking until morning.

Finally, I thought of a more reliable method.

Set up torches next to the greenhouse.

The wild boar was also afraid of fire, but the burning time of the torch was limited. She thought that if there was rosin, the burning time of the torch could be greatly increased.

It's daylight now. Wild boars are usually active in the evening and early morning. When it's dark, it's safe to go out now.

Zhao Yeqing went to the vegetable garden to check. Fortunately, only the sweet potato area was attacked. Half of the shed in this area fell down and needed to be rebuilt. Nearly half of the sweet potato blocks in the field were also dug up.

The previously hydroponically grown stems had just sprouted, which could make up for the loss, but the damaged greenhouse had to be chopped and rebuilt with bamboo.

By the time the greenhouse was repaired and potatoes and sweet potatoes were replanted, the chickens, geese, and forest musk deer in the yard had already started to protest.

Zhao Yeqing glanced at the time and realized that it was already past ten o'clock. The animals hadn't been fed yet, and he hadn't had breakfast either.

I just said I would eat well yesterday, but I didn’t do it today.

She quickly poured the feed into the trough. The forest deer's food had to be cut freshly. It had a very naughty mouth. The grass picked the day before yesterday seemed a little wilted and she would not eat it today.

Zeqi is not hard to find. It is on the hill behind the house, just two steps away.

After cutting fresh varnish, Lin She was finally satisfied.

Zhao Yeqing walked to the chicken coop and looked down to see three eggs lying inside. She bought a total of three hens, a rooster and five chicks. It seemed that the three hens had made a contribution today.

I took out the eggs and looked at the light to confirm that they were all infertile eggs, and then I took them into the kitchen with confidence.

I don’t plan to eat eggs in the morning. Among the snacks I brought back from the truck are some bagged breads. The shelf life is only one month. There are only a few days left, so I can eat them for breakfast.

She didn't sleep well last night, so she made herself a cup of coffee and bread.

The coffee was the ground coffee she brought back before, and there was also a bottle of freeze-dried coffee. This was gone after she finished drinking it. She decided not to take it out and drink it easily unless she needed to refresh herself like today.

Zhao Yeqing was sitting in the living room opposite the door, eating breakfast, and looked up to see the courtyard outside.

She listened to the birds chirping outside, looked at the big white geese strutting in the yard, chewed bread in her mouth, and the bitter taste of dark roasted coffee lingered in her mouth. She thought that if she could find a tea tree, it could be a refreshing substitute for coffee. .

There is a hilltop in the Meishan Mountains that is rich in tea, called Er tea, which is a kind of green tea.

She prefers green tea to black tea. Green tea is a bit bitter, but after drinking it, it has a sweet aftertaste that lingers on the tongue for a long time.

Determined to set tea as a to-do list in the future, Zhao Yeqing planned to pack up and go out.

Today's mission is to find pine oil.

Pine trees like shade. There is a large pine forest in the north of the mountain where the light is short. Some injured pine trees will have a lot of rosin condensed on the wound section. However, this situation is usually rare. If you want to get a lot of rosin, you still need to Cut trees to get oil.

She has seen how pine cutters operate. People living in the mountains rely on the mountains to eat. After their area was no longer a protected area, some mountain forests were re-planned. Some people cut pine oil in the mountains where there were pine trees. Selling money was not uncommon, but she had only seen it before.

Her home faces the south, and the north is on the other side of the mountain. It takes more than two hours to walk there, and the terrain in that section is complicated. There are no roads, so she has to go through the mountains and forests. After weighing it, she gave up going to the north and just walked slightly north. See if you can find pine trees. If you can find a dozen pine trees, it will be enough to last until winter.

Prepare the tools - the chisel that grandpa used to do carpentry and the ax and hammer she bought newly, and then bring a hatchet and a dozen bamboo tubes.

Use scissors to make plastic bottles into drop-shaped plastic pieces, which are stuck in the pine tree to catch the rosin flowing out, and then guide the flow into the bamboo tube.

After preparing her tools and putting on her small backpack to go out, Zhao Yeqing stood in front of the mirror, fully equipped and making sure not to show any skin except for her eyes.

The further north you go, the higher the humidity and the cooler conditions, and there are more leeches than in the south.

At this time, the mountain fog had just completely dispersed, and the humidity was still high. The dew on the grass on the road had not evaporated completely, and the waterproof trouser legs were covered with water droplets.

Zhao Yeqing felt something was wrong with her feet. She lowered her head and saw a leech trying to get in on the shoe. She raised her foot and shook it out with all her strength.

Fortunately, I was wearing leather boots, the stiff kind.

After walking for about half a mile, the woods near the north were darker than those in the south. There were not many birds chirping, but more of the sharp and elongated chirping of insects. Echoing in the quiet forest, it seems even more deserted.

There were several large trees that were nearly a hundred years old next to Zhao Yeqing. She thought they looked familiar. She had never thought of seeing them before. When she looked further, she had an impression.

There is a rare and relatively open place in front of the house, with a small patch of Chinese toon trees growing there. This is the place where her grandfather took her to pick Chinese toon buds when she was little.

Sure enough, taste is the most profound in people's memory.
