Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile

Chapter 117 1 On the Road 1 On the Mountain

Brother Dao: No problem. I, Tang Xiaolong, will remember the kindness shown to you by the Flying Dragon Team. If you need my help in the future, just let me know.

Su Zhangming: I actually wanted to ask this for a long time, your name on social media is Tang Xiaolong, why do others call you Brother Dao?

Heizi: Because our Brother Dao always uses his knife to clear a path when he goes up the mountain. We have lived in the mountains since we were young. The roads in the mountains are often covered by vines and branches, which causes people to get lost in the mountains every year. In order to make it convenient for everyone to go up and down the mountain, Brother Dao always widens the road every time he goes up the mountain. Over time, we call him Brother Dao.

Well, it sounds like he’s a pretty good person and worth making friends with.

They talked about some details, such as the position of the little girl on the truck. As for Heizi's wife, she would sit on the pallet extended from the back with her cousin during the day, and sleep on her own at night.

There are 28 people left in Brother Dao's team. They take turns to send out six trailers every day, and the others continue to walk with the first echelon behind. When the team stops to rest in the evening, the other six people come to replace the six in front. This arrangement is not bad. Everyone can hook up a trailer every four or five days, which is much better than walking all the time.

At six o'clock the next morning, when the people in the truck got up, they saw several familiar-looking men outside. The eldest cousin told them that these people were resettled by Su Yun, and that Su Yun did not want the points they earned, so he would divide them all equally among their families, so that in total each person could get 52 points.

Everyone had no objection in the first place. The car belonged to the Su family, so they had no objection to how it was arranged. Besides, they knew this group of people. They used to do reselling business in the base. Aunt Wang and Grandma Su often patronized the place, especially the dark and thin man outside and the tall man with a righteous face next to him. The two of them often drove to the west district to set up stalls.

Besides, fifty-two points are not a small amount, enough for one person to exchange for a month's food rations.

After they met and got to know each other, everyone went about their own business. The women of the Flying Dragon Team gathered at the dining table to cook pickled vegetable porridge, while the men took the children to the toilet and then checked the car and supplies.

Brother Dao was also busy. The first group to get on the trailer was Brother Dao and Heizi. They wanted to test the safety first. The method of these guys was simple and crude. They directly took the bull rope and asked the other team members to tie their thighs and waists to the truck and fix them. Only the upper body could move. In this way, holding the railing with two hands was relatively stable. At least they would not be thrown away because of the bumps of the car. In addition, the temperature was indeed a bit low today, so they put on all the clothes in their bags. They were warm and collision-proof, killing two birds with one stone. What's more amazing is that the people walking behind them took the bull rope and tied the heavier luggage to the body of the truck. From a distance, there were six men tied on both sides of the truck, and a package would occasionally bulge on the side, which was very funny.

The departure was at 7 o'clock, so everyone was in a hurry to do their own work. After breakfast, the men of the Feilong team immediately turned the large dining table over their heads, and Su Zhangming and Wang Jie pulled the rope on the roof of the RV. Dao Ge was tied to the truck at this time, watching the Feilong team busy inside and outside. He sighed in his heart, the Feilong team is full of relatives, everyone does things very naturally, without saying extra words, everyone seems to have a tacit understanding, even the woman with inconvenient legs and feet quickly packed up the remaining two folding chairs and moved them to the door of the RV. The women quickly cleaned the stove and led the children to climb into the car. Everything looked so well organized. When they tied the table, the time was almost up.

Because there were six people in the car, Su Zhibang drove more carefully, paying attention to the potholes on the road and avoiding them as much as possible.

Because they were tied up with ropes, Heizi and Daoge didn't feel any discomfort except that they felt a little tight. The little girl in the car was left in the care of Alan, and they sat side by side on the bunk to pick the blisters on the little girl's feet.

Heige's wife sat on the extension board at the rear of the car. She had the first day of walking experience and felt extremely lucky to be able to sit in the car. In fact, she also had blisters on the soles of her feet, and if she walked for another day, she would definitely not be able to walk.

The road conditions ahead were bad, and the car was becoming more and more bumpy. Many people began to feel uncomfortable, but they just endured it. Anyway, they would arrive in no more than two hours.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the car finally stopped. Brother Dao felt that his face was frozen by the cold wind. When Brother Hei's wife saw the car stop, she hurried over to help untie him, and the others also untied themselves with one hand.

The Flying Dragon Team did the same thing as usual. After getting out of the car, they set up the table first, then patrolled the surroundings and stretched their muscles.

Dao Ge watched Su Zhangming, carrying a machete and holding a shovel, walking towards a distant hillside with a few people, apparently planning to climb the mountain. Her eyes lit up, and without even taking a rest, she pulled Heizi and followed.

Catching up is his strong point, so he must perform well.

The hillside was covered with low vegetation and there was no dense forest. They squatted down and carefully identified the weeds and wild vegetables, but after looking for a long time, they found nothing useful.

Dao Ge and Heizi didn't take any tools, but they brought their dual radar eyes to scan everywhere. Finally, he found something unusual. That bunch of green leaves seemed to be the vine leaves of Pueraria lobata: Hey, that seems to be Pueraria lobata, let's go and take a look.

Su Zhangming was just a bystander without any hope, but he became excited after hearing what he said. Pueraria root is a thick tuber with a high starch content, and each tuber weighs up to one kilogram. So as long as you dig up a tuber of Pueraria, you can eat it for many days without starving to death. Pueraria root can be eaten in many ways. It can be steamed and chewed slowly, or dried and ground into powder and soaked in water to drink, or it can be used to make soup or sliced ​​into tea.

Brother Dao and Heizi had their own theories about these plants growing underground. They seemed to look around along the vines and leaves, then used shovels to dig directly at the cracks in the ground. It wasn't long before they dug out a complete Pueraria root. Seeing that he could do it easily, Su Zhangming tried to dig it himself, but he unexpectedly broke the skin of one. Brother Heizi said distressedly: Oh, it will be difficult to preserve if you make a mistake. Take it back and eat it as soon as possible.

Since there were not many tools anyway, they were all handed over to the two experienced people. The others listened to Brother Dao's science lecture like primary school students. They dug up the big ones but left the small ones. In his words, if they left the small ones, they would grow more next year. Perhaps this is the self-cultivation of mountain diggers.

More than a dozen pieces of Pueraria root were dug out from this small area, so it was just right for everyone who came to get one.

Wang Jie and Su Zhang knew that there was a lot of lotus root powder and kudzu root powder in Su Yun's space, and they didn't need to take the fresh ones back for processing, so they chose the ones with more roots, thinking that they could put them in the planting department and see if they could harvest more fruits.

They moved forward along the way, and although the harvest was small, the members of the Flying Dragon Team learned a lot of mountain-moving skills from Brother Dao.

Now even if I go up the mountain alone and see the vegetation there, I can describe it one by one.

They were not curious about what the walking team behind them looked like, because every day they could hear the mumblings of those who were changing shifts in Brother Dao's team.
