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

Su Zhangming and Lan's father were still the first to lead the way. They were holding machetes and clearing the way. There were thorns everywhere under their feet, and they would easily trip if they were not careful.

It took four hours to climb to the middle of the mountain, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Su Yun was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back. Su Zhibang used a sickle to quickly clear a space for everyone to sit down and rest.

Wang Jie took the pepper spray and sprayed it around. Su Yun relit a mosquito coil hanging on his waist, chewing on dry food and water. Wang Jie took out a sweat towel from his bag, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and took out an umbrella to hold over Su Yun's head to make her feel more comfortable.

Half an hour later, when everyone had rested, they looked at the wild fruits all over the mountains and fields around them and suddenly didn’t know where to start.

It was not easy for them to go into the mountains, and they agreed to give priority to finding the most valuable things. These wild fruits could not be used as staple food. Without moisture, they were like chewing wax. Perhaps they had some medicinal value, but it was not what they urgently needed.

So I had to reluctantly give up this piece of wild fruit and continue walking up the mountain, hoping to find more suitable wild vegetables and fruits.

We continued to explore upwards with the drone and found that there were mostly boulders from the mountainside to the top of the mountain. There were even some unknown bushes and tree trunks growing on the boulders.

There are also some green fruits growing on the bushes. When the drone got closer, I found that they looked a bit like figs, and a bit like the fruits usually used to make jelly. It can be regarded as a harvest. After all, the extreme heat is coming, and everyone needs some cool and refreshing drinks to cool down.

The drone arrived at the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was bare and covered with rocks, with a few dead trees here and there, but no signs of other wild animals were found.

Tonight they are going to climb to the top of the mountain and stay there for the night. There is a high probability that there is nothing particularly valuable on this mountain. They will try their luck on other mountains tomorrow.

Wang Jie asked everyone to pack up quickly and continue on their way. Because there were many rocks on the top of the mountain, half-human-high shrubs were only scattered in the gray-white cracks of the rocks. Most of the rocks on the mountain were sharp, and Su Yun felt that these rocks could wipe off layer by layer of their soles.

While climbing along the way, I picked some green dried fruits and put them in a snakeskin bag. When I have time, I take them out and dry the cores. They are very good for making jelly.

Anyway, Su Yun had space, so she often picked five and put four of them in the space. Climbing is a physical job, and the large angles made it difficult for her to take care of herself, so no one noticed her little movements.

After climbing for three hours, we finally reached the top of the mountain. It was just the right time to enjoy the sunset. The wind was very strong on the top of the mountain and the sticky sweat on my body was blown dry in no time.

There was no time to enjoy the sunset. Everyone hurriedly took out the tents they brought with them, fixed the four corners, and set up camp on the top of the mountain.

Because the wind on the top of the mountain was too strong, the drone could no longer be used. Wang Jie took out a telescope to observe the surroundings. Su Zhangming set up the tent and also took a telescope to observe the surrounding situation on the top of the mountain.

I saw wisps of smoke rising from the halfway point of the neighboring mountain. It must be someone from the base who came out to look for mountain products and stayed overnight in the mountains.

Su Yun bought a high-power telescope. After Wang Jie adjusted the telescope, he could easily see that Liang Cancan and his group were resting by the fire.

Looking closely at Liang Cancan, Wang Jie saw about 10 sealed plastic bags around him. Wang Jie couldn't guess what was inside. It seemed that they had gained something on this trip. The 10 Mountains were rolling and the heights from the bottom to the top were almost the same. Normally, it would take most of a day to walk from the bottom of the mountain to the top.

Look, there is a waterfall on the hillside of the mountain behind. The water flow seems to be quite strong. It should be flowing into the creek at the bottom of the mountain. Tomorrow we will walk over to see if there are any fish in it. The creek at the bottom of the mountain has been plucked by the people in the base and there is not even a single fish left. Wang Jie observed carefully with a telescope and found that at least 20 small pools were formed under the waterfall. The pools were arranged in an orderly manner. Before the natural disaster, it would have been a niche tourist attraction. It's a pity that such a beautiful scenery was buried.

After dinner, we picked up some dead branches nearby and made a fire. Everyone took turns to keep watch while the others went to bed early.

On the second day, by the time everyone arrived at the waterfall, another day had passed.

There are more than 20 pools of water of various sizes under the waterfall, all of which are crystal clear and filled with many stream groupers and rosenbergii shrimps.

The stream grouper is the size of a palm and has a slender body. It has very obvious stripes on its body, which look very much like zebra stripes. There are usually six horizontal stripes on the sides of the body and a dark brown vertical stripe. It likes to live in rivers and streams with clear water and gravel bottoms. It mainly feeds on plankton and aquatic larvae of insects on stones and stone walls in the stream. This species of stream grouper has plump meat and its market price is higher than that of ordinary fish.

The shell of the prawn is thin, the body is fat, the meat is tender and nutritious. The head and chest of the mature prawn are full of gonads, which have a special and delicious taste similar to crab roe.

Finally, there was meat to eat again. Not only was the trip not in vain, but the harvest was also extremely great. Su Zhibang was so excited that he wanted to go into the water and swim with the fishes. There were not many dried fish left from the extreme cold last year when they caught them in the village. The children at home could not grow tall without meat, so they had to cook some fish for the children from time to time to supplement them, so the meat was consumed very quickly.

Su Yun and Wang Jie walked around the area and found that this was simply a treasure trove. Not only were there a large number of stream groupers and crayfish in the pond, but there were also many wild grapes surrounding the pond, with green, black and purple grapes hanging from the branches.

A bonfire was lit by the stream, and a group of people used local materials, scooped up more than a dozen stream stones and brought them up to roast.

On the third day in the mountains, the men went into the water to fish, while the women carried sacks and harvested wild grapes nearby.

In just half a day, Wang Jie and his team caught all the stream grouper in the pond, weighing as much as two to three hundred kilograms.

Zhang Lili and Su Yun also had a good harvest. There were more than a dozen bags of wild grapes in the space and 4 bags outside the space. It was not that they did not want to put more, but they did not have enough manpower to carry them down the mountain.
