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

Zhao Yeqing found a few chicory plants.

There are not many in number, and they are a little old. Many of them have flowers, and the flowers are like yellow wild chrysanthemums.

The flowering plants were all relatively old, so she could only pick a handful of young leaves.

But it’s barely enough to eat with noodles.

There is a small ditch along the side of the mountain. There should have been a source of water before, but now it is dry.

It’s no wonder that chicory, which grows close to water, grows here.

Zhao Yeqing walked over and knelt down to take a look.

The water source has been drying up for some time and the ditch has completely dried up.

Just as she was about to get up and walk, facing the sun, she vaguely saw something shining in the crevices of the rocks in the ditch.

She opened a crack in the stone and found a piece of green transparent glass inside.

Like the dregs of a beer bottle.

This piece of debris is about the size of a fingernail, and its edges have been smoothed.

This doesn't look like it was left by the original owner of the cabin, not to mention that it's some distance away from the cabin.

The glass shards were polished smooth and must have been in the water for a long time, as if they were washed here.

Zhao Yeqing raised his eyes and looked upstream of the ditch.

In the later division, the meadow no longer belongs to the Meishan Mountains.

This meadow is closest to Meishan Mountain and has the lowest terrain. Going further west, the altitude is more than 2,000 meters.

That's where the meadow development scenic area is.

The altitude over there is higher and the temperature is lower than here. Logically speaking, if there are still people living up there, they shouldn't go towards them.

Zhao Yeqing also hoped that no one would come over. People's hearts are too complicated.

He just kept it in mind and took the wild vegetables home.

-

Dusk is getting darker.

Dahuang returned home with the sheep and cubs.

As soon as they entered the door, the three cubs ran around in front of Zhao Yeqing.

I didn't jump on her, because I was afraid that I was really tired from playing.

Zhao Yeqing fed dried meat to all three children.

Sticky and Xuebing didn't come back, and neither did Mu Xi.

Without electric tools, the efficiency is too low.

Zhao Yeqing thought about calling the people back first, and then finish the unfinished work tomorrow. It was too dangerous to be in the woods at night.

Before I even went out, I heard the sound of a cart.

She hurriedly ran out and helped pull the cart back.

Zhao Yeqing lifted one armrest of the cart. The wood on the cart was heavy and heavy, so she used all her strength to move.

Seeing her flushed face, Mu Xi smiled and pushed her away in disgust, "Go back and bring tea and water to your brother."

By the time she finished pouring the water and came out, Mu Xi had already pulled the cart behind the house.

The bathroom was built here, close to the well for easy access to water.

The two picked the most honest board and took the remaining black paint from the house.

According to the ID card found in the house, he wrote the owner's name and placed it in front of the grave next to the house.

I had thought about erecting a monument before, and I remembered to bring some incense back when I went down the mountain several times.

The owner of the house was about the same age as his grandparents. The two of them worshiped in front of the tomb and burned paper money as if they were their elders.

Mu Xi built a bathroom behind the house, and Zhao Yeqing cooked noodles in the house.

The noodles were cooked very quickly, and it only took a few minutes to boil water, but the dogs' dinner tonight gave her a headache.

After thinking about it, I steamed a large bowl of rice and picked out the rabbit that I hadn't eaten in the past few days.

This rabbit was originally intended to be smoked and turned into dried rabbit meat. It would be eaten later when there were no prey, but now it is almost half-dried.

Zhao Yeqing cut the rabbit in half, put half of it in water and boiled it for ten minutes. The semi-dry rabbit meat was not thick, and it was easy to cut once it was lightly boiled.

Tear off the meat and chop the bones with your hands. When the rice is ready, mix the pilaf and rice together.

Leave the bones alone, wait for the dog to finish the meal, and then play with them.

Hang the other half of the rabbit back and continue smoking.

After the dog rice is ready, start cooking the noodles.

After dinner, the two went to the back of the house to build a bathroom.

The light from the oil lamp is not very bright, but what I have to do now is not very precise, so I can make do with it.

The bathroom is only two square meters. We dug several large pits under the toilet and dug out a lot of soil. There were also some stones left from the foundation of the toilet.

It’s barely enough to build a small bathroom.

It is also built with wooden boards. Building a bathroom is more complicated than using wooden boards to build a wall before. Stability and load-bearing must be taken into consideration. After all, a roof must be built on top.

Bring the mud that was dug out before, spread it on the ground in a thick layer, about ten centimeters thick, two square meters in size, and compact the soil.

Then around these two square rectangular blocks of earth, a circle of stones was placed to reinforce the foundation.

Holes were dug out at the four corners, and the supporting main beams were inserted, and then backfilled with soil and compacted.

The main beam is the same as the wooden boards used to make the surrounding walls, a little more than two meters high, and four beams are placed horizontally. The main beam and the beams were notched in advance, and they were fixed with a hammer.

Dig out a long groove where the planks are to be inserted into the foundation, knock the planks in one by one, and then backfill and compact them with soil just like the main beams.

Zhao Yeqing wanted to use the bathroom to take a shower tonight. The movements of his hands were so nimble that he knocked in the wooden planks of a wall in two or three strokes.

After driving nails between the wooden boards of the wall and the beams, use wooden boards to top them off.

The foundation is made of dirt, and if you splash water when taking a shower, it will become muddy.

Dig out a shallow layer of soil in the middle of the foundation, sprinkle sand with gravel dug from streams and ditches on top, and then lay a layer of wooden boards on top.

Not all wooden boards can be the exact size. If the size is off, it will have to be re-sawed, and a drainage outlet will have to be opened in the corner.

By the time the bathroom was finished, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Yeqing finally got his wish and used the bathroom at night.

But I fell asleep less than three hours after taking a shower.

Zhao Yeqing was woken up by the sound of the door being pulled open. The one who woke up earlier was Mu Xi. As soon as she stood up, Mu Xi had already stood up and opened the door.

Mu Mu jumped in and screamed anxiously. Zhao Yeqing got up and took a look. Xue Pan who came in behind him was covered in blood.

Zhao Yeqing's hands were shaking instantly. He took two big steps forward to see the situation of the snow cake. Mu Xi walked out of the door with a gun in hand.

Under the moonlight, the figures of a dozen animals were vague and unclear.

Zhao Yeqing looked out, protecting the snow cake behind him, and looked at the animals that were almost outside the fence.

Dahuang also rushed out of the house and barked loudly outside.

Perhaps seeing the two leopards getting reinforcements, one of the animals made a whistle-like cry, and then the animals slowly retreated together. After retreating a few meters away, a few of them ducked and disappeared. .

Zhao Yeqing didn't recognize what kind of animal it was. It looked like a wolf, but smaller than a wolf.

It looks a bit like a fox, but it is bigger and has longer legs.

Mu Xi checked outside that the animals had not left and returned, then he touched Dahuang's head and returned to the house.

Zhao Yeqing picked up Xuebing and gently turned the fur to carefully examine the wound.

After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief. His body was covered in blood and looked scary. There was only a bloody scar on his body near his buttocks.

Zhao Yeqing cut off the hair near the snow cake's wound, cleaned the wound, disinfected and applied medicine.

She touched Xuebing's head to comfort her, frowning in distress, and asked, "What kind of animal is that?"
