After the Earthquake of Rebirth

Just as Ning Xiaowen guessed, Huzi pulled Du Cheng to talk about hunting.

Now that there are so many people in Da Cangyun and Xiao Cangyun, if you want to hunt, you have to go further in, cross Xiao Cangyun and enter the depths of the mountains.Today, I ran into a shop that sells rabbits. They must have gone hunting, otherwise it would be impossible to sell so many rabbits at once.

Du Cheng thought about it, and now the law and order on the mountain is not bad, and the house has installed a gate, even if he and Hu Zi leave for a few days, there is no problem in terms of safety.

But if you go into the deep mountains, you can't just have him and Hu Zi. No matter how good they are, if they encounter an accident, they don't even have a helper. It's too dangerous.

But you can't find someone you are not familiar with. If you encounter danger and make trouble, it is better not to look for it.

You can ask Wang Yang and the others.

A total of half a day, the rabbit over there was also out of the pot, and more than five catties of bone-in rabbit meat came out. Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen didn't eat much, and Huzi and Du Cheng ate up all of it.The bones were not too clean, and they were put into the food bowl with the meat. Du Dabao took Ning Xiaobao and Ning Xiaobei to gnaw without lifting their heads.

During the meal, Hu Zi talked about his and Du Cheng's plans, and Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen didn't object, and asked them to bring a large bowl of braised rabbit meat left alone to Wang Yang and the others after the meal, by the way Ask what they mean.

Wang Yang and the others were a little embarrassed to take the rabbit meat, but they nodded after hearing Huzi's thoughts.

Unlike Ning Qiyan, they have food at home, Wang Yang and the others often have to go down the mountain to buy food, and they have seen a few times at the foot of the mountain bringing prey out to exchange things. They have long been greedy, but leaving the two girls , the remaining four boys grew up in the city and have never hunted before. If they go into the mountains, let alone hunting, it is a question of whether they can come out the same way.

When walking in the mountains, it is not enough to have a sense of direction.

It’s not that they never thought of finding Huzi and Du Cheng as a partner before, but Wang Yang and the others were worried that they were inexperienced and would not be able to catch things. According to Huzi’s personality, it was impossible for them to return empty-handed. They always took advantage, even if Huzi didn’t mind , I don't have such a big face.

Unexpectedly, Hu Zi and Du Cheng would bring it up first.Since the two of them don't think they are a burden, they are naturally willing to go.

Don't hurry up early, they made an appointment to prepare things in the afternoon and set off early tomorrow morning.Wang Yang and his four boys couldn't all leave, and finally decided that Yang Yu, who had the weakest physical strength, would stay, and the other three followed Huzi and Du Cheng into the mountain.Although Yang Yu is not tall and thin, but fetching water and carrying things is better than a girl, and in case of danger, leaving a boy around can always resist it until Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen rush over .

After talking, Huzi and Du Cheng went home to prepare things.

The tent that Wang Yang and the others returned was dug out by Ning Xiaowen. They were in the wild, and everyone was not familiar with the situation in the mountains. Sleeping in a tent at night would give them some peace of mind.A lighter, a fully charged flashlight, plus two solar panels, a kettle, medicines...

Ning Qiyan started to prepare dry food that was convenient to eat when going out.The rice was made in two pots, with pickles, and made into rice balls.Enough for five people to leave for lunch and dinner for the day.Any more and it might go rancid.The rest is the biscuits piled up in the cave that no one has eaten, and a small pot. If there is no purifier in the water source, you can drink it after boiling it.

Looking at the things the two packed up, Beard grinned.Such two big backpacks are enough for him and Du Cheng to carry.Isn't it just for two or three days? !It's like going on an outing. I used to go hunting in the mountains in my hometown, but I haven't seen Ning Xiaowen prepare such a complete set for him? !

But no matter what he thought in his heart, he listened to Ning Xiaowen's instructions honestly, he could recite whatever he was asked to recite, and he could wear whatever he was asked to wear.This was learned from Du Cheng.It's just a little more, as long as it can calm Xiaowen's heart, no matter how much he can recite, if one day Ning Xiaowen no longer cares about him so much, he should find a place to cry!

This night, the four of them went to bed early, and Ning Qiyan tossed and turned a little bit unable to sleep, always thinking of the scene of Du Cheng's accident in his previous life.

He couldn't explain his worries clearly. Besides, it's not yet the time of the food crisis in more than a year. Although the law and order outside can't be the same as it was before the earthquake, five big men went hunting in the mountains and were targeted by people for hunting. Feasibility is low.He has no reason to stop them.Not to mention Wang Yang and the others, Huzi's vigilance and force value alone are comparable to Du Cheng's. It is very difficult for the two to watch each other.

The night passed, and the four of them woke up at dawn in the morning. Ning Xiaowen checked the things that Huzi and the others were going to bring. Ning Qiyan chopped dumplings and kneaded noodles. They were still dumplings filled with bean sprouts and eggs.After dinner, the three of Wang Yang came up to look for them.

Before leaving, Du Cheng was last, and before leaving the cave, he hugged Ning Qiyan.

"Don't worry, we won't go to the deep mountains, there is no danger. Wait for me at home with peace of mind."

Ning Qiyan sighed and hugged Du Cheng back.

"Be careful when you meet people. My biggest worry is not when you are hunting, but because I am afraid that you will conflict with others."

Du Cheng smiled, "It's not that far yet."

Ning Qiyan nodded, he understood, but he was still worried.

After seeing off the five people, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen didn't bother to clean up, and sat silently in the yard for a while.

In the end, it was Ning Xiaowen who took the feathers from the chickens and ducks that had been saved during this period and pulled Ning Qiyan to start cleaning them up.

On the other side, Du Cheng and the others walked down the mountain road.According to their thinking, to leave the area where the government is stationed, they have to cross Xiao Cangyun.Since moving into the mountains, the five of them have never been to Xiao Cangyun.Compared with the lively scene at Da Cangyun, Xiao Cangyun's here gives people a relatively depressing feeling.

Although the plague has passed for a long time, the sorrow has not dissipated.People in Da Cangyun didn't know that among the 37 people who died in that disaster, nearly 25 were from Xiao Cangyun.As for the citizens who moved to Cangyun Mountain at the beginning, Da Cangyun accounted for more than 200 million people, while Xiao Cangyun had a total of less than 100 million people.

Wang Yang and the others, who were a little excited at first, fell silent after passing Xiao Cangyun.

They didn't want to guess why the half-dug caves were abandoned, and they didn't want to think about why the dirty clothes of the fifteen and sixteen-year-old children were not cleaned by their families.

But they had to face the answer they knew clearly in the mountains of grief.

When they are still picky about not being able to eat meat, maybe the people here would rather eat bran swallowed vegetables for a lifetime than hope that their departed relatives can survive.

"This is the reality." Hu Zi put away the ID card registered when he left the checkpoint, and suddenly said.

"I know, it's just that when we were at home, we were still complaining about our current dissatisfaction, and looking at them again, we wanted to slap ourselves." Wang Yang said self-deprecatingly.

Ke Chengwei and Wang Zhixiang lowered their heads in silence.

"The only thing you can do is to live well, and don't let your family members far away become like them."

After a long silence, the three nodded.

Exiting the outermost checkpoint of Xiao Cangyun is the mountain forest that has not been classified as a living area by the government, because there are no people living there, dry and collapsed trees are everywhere, and it is extremely messy.

"If we can bring these dead trees back, maybe we can exchange them for something!" Hu Zi walked in the front, avoiding a dead tree with a diameter of nearly one meter.

Now almost all the dead trees, big and small, have been cut down and collected by people. Let alone the severe winter that is likely to be faced in the future, these branches and dry grass are indispensable for cooking and boiling water.

Du Cheng's eyes moved slightly, and finally suppressed the thoughts in his heart.

It's not the time yet, wait until the secret of the space is no longer concealed, and then come back with Qiyan.

Seeing that the time was almost up, several people decided to stop, have lunch, and rest by the way.

As for the hunting this time, Hu Zi and Du Cheng discussed it, and they will not go any further if they go a little further.For one thing, the two of them are not familiar with this mountain range, and if they enter rashly, it may be dangerous.Secondly, looking at this road, there are already traces of wild animals at the current place, and if you go a little further in, you should be able to catch a few prey.

The three of Wang Yang brought all the biscuits that are easy to store. They had already eaten up the ones they collected when they were in the city, and they bought them from the redemption point now.

Ning Qiyan prepared a lot of rice balls, enough for five people to eat twice, and the biscuits didn't move, so let's eat tightly on the rice balls first.

After eating and resting for less than half an hour, the five of them continued to go deeper and walked for about an hour, over the mountain, and based on experience, Huzi found a place near the water source to camp.Wang Yang took Ke Chengwei to set up a tent, and Hu Zi and Du Cheng took Wang Zhixiang to check around first.

Among the few, only Huzi had hunting experience. He first found a mark left by a hare, and then instructed the two of them how to distinguish it. After making sure that Du Cheng and Wang Zhixiang remembered it, the three searched nearby separately.

When Wang Yang and the others set up the tent and came to find them, the three of them had already confirmed a route that the rabbits often took recently.Huzi took out a roll of steel wire from his pocket, cut it about six meters, made a very simple looper, and set it up with branches.

"That's it?" Wang Yang asked in surprise.

Huzi looked at him amusedly, "That's it! How difficult do you think? There are no children at the bottom of the mountain who can't do this. The difficulty is to find the traces of prey."

After learning how to do it, the five people dispersed with the cut steel wires.

Catch as many rabbits as possible before the hares come out for food in the dark.

Before dark, all the talents returned to the tent one after another, asked everyone about their results, and raised their eyebrows with beards.Unexpectedly, all the steel wires that were distributed were used up, and it seemed that there were a lot of hares nearby.

Du Cheng and Hu Zi filled their stomachs and sat outside the tent leaning against the tent to rest.There were three restless young men left.

If it wasn't for the fear of startling the hare, even Wang Zhixiang, the most stable of the three, would have squatted beside the lasso and stared.

After all, they are all children in the city. It is the first time to hunt by themselves, and the excitement can be imagined.

Seeing that it was too late, Hu Zi almost grabbed Wang Yang and the three of them and threw them into the tent, forcing them to rest.After walking for most of the day today, everyone is tired, so they have to rest for one night, and tomorrow he plans to lead a few people to catch pheasants overnight. If he doesn't sleep tonight, he won't have the energy to hunt tomorrow.

He and Du Cheng were in charge of the night watch. It wasn't that they felt sorry for the three little ones. Wang Yang's vigilance was too low. Even if they kept their eyes open all night, they might not be able to detect danger in advance.

After daybreak, Hu Zi and Du Cheng woke up almost at the same time, and saw the three people in the tent snoring, Du Cheng stayed and continued to watch, while Hu Zi went to look at several places where he was set up.

Then Du Cheng went to watch it, and when they came back, the two had a good harvest. They got six sets of beards and caught three hares. Except for one that was dying, the other two had been strangled to death by the noose.Du Cheng played five sets and got two dead rabbits.

After Wang Yang and the others got up and checked, and came back, Hu Zi looked at the embarrassed Wang Yang and Ke Chengwei with a wooden face.

It's not because of Wang Yang and Ke Chengwei's empty hands, but because they didn't expect that they couldn't find a place to set them up.

Wang Zhixiang was carrying two rabbits, and stared at the embarrassed Wang Yang and Ke Chengwei in astonishment, not knowing what to say.

Beard twitched the corner of his mouth in the end, and had to follow the two of them to search again according to their memories.

Not for the rabbit, just for those steel wires.

After the three left, Wang Zhixiang and Du Cheng looked at each other for a while, then suddenly laughed, and Du Cheng also smiled.

"These two are really talented!" Wang Zhixiang sighed with a smile. In fact, he wanted to say: Are these two funny? !
