An Ziqi's ancient life

Chapter 6 The Woods

An Ziqin led An Zimin with a vegetable basket, and An Ziqi followed, and together they went to Daqingshan behind the village.

Taoyuan Village is a village surrounded by mountains on one side and water on three sides, and its geographical location is quite good.An Ziqi looked at the rolling mountains and forests and felt his heart itch. It's a good place for people with wood-type supernatural powers. Just looking at it, you can tell that there are rich species inside, and the smell of wood is also very strong. It doesn't look like modern pollution is serious "Don't look! I won't agree to let you play in the mountains!" An Ziqin said angrily.

An Ziqi was taken aback, he was actually seen through.

"Didn't you see that there is still snow on the top of the mountain? It's still very cold these days, even father and the others have to go with several people to go into the mountain! I heard that there are big tigers and wolves deep in the forest!" An Zi Qin pointed to the top of the mountain and persuaded him earnestly.

"Okay...then sister, where are we going to mow the grass?" An Ziqi felt that it was inconvenient to enter the mountain now, so he might as well find a chance to go secretly later.

"No!" An Ziqin pointed again, "On the edge of the Qing River, at the foot of the mountain."

Well, it's still next to Daqingshan, so we can see if there are any plants that can be used.

When they got to the wetland, An Ziqi discovered that the grass An Ziqin was going to mow was water celery!Obediently, this is a good thing!

"Is this the grass to feed the chickens?" An Ziqi pointed at the piece of water celery.

"That's right, the villagers cut them up to feed pigs, chickens, and cows. Those animals love to eat them!" An Ziqin said naturally.

An Ziqi instantly felt that the ancient people really had no shortage of vegetables!In the last days, most people can't afford such edible vegetables with good taste!Usually, as long as the plants are not poisonous, they are all pulled out!There is too little to eat in the last days.

"Sister, that's water celery, it's a wild vegetable, we can eat it too!"

"Really?" An Ziqin was dubious.

"Of course! Let's get some more and let mother cook for us!" An Ziqi was full of confidence.

"Okay, I'll cut more."

An Ziqin began to cut wild vegetables, because there was only one machete, An Ziqi and An Zimin had to help pull them out with their hands.

"I'll go over there to see if there are any edible wild vegetables!" An Ziqi took advantage of An Ziqin's distraction and was about to run away.

"Okay, we can't go far." An Ziqin didn't lift his head.

An Ziqi threw the wild vegetables in his basket into the basket, and walked along the Qinghe River into the small forest. This place is only the outskirts of Daqing Mountain, so there is no danger. Besides, An Ziqi is not afraid of danger.

After entering the forest, An Ziqi took a deep breath. Although the trees hadn't reached the time when their branches and leaves were luxuriant, the ones that were more resistant to cold had already grown new leaves.A gust of wood energy rushed towards An Ziqi's body, turned into billowing energy, and was sucked into An Ziqi's body. An Ziqi was overjoyed, and quickly circulated it. After a few cycles, An Ziqi felt his body lighten, and his eyes opened up.

An Ziqi knew that he had entered the ranks of first-level supernatural beings.Although this body is still thin and not tall, An Ziqi's serious illness in his body has completely healed, and he only needs to supplement enough nutrients to ensure that he grows upright!

Randomly breaking a branch as thick as an arm, An Ziqi's strength is no less than his father's now. This is the huge gap between supernatural beings and ordinary people.

I'm hungry again!An Ziqi was a little helpless, the energy needed by the supernatural beings was too great!

He searched for several edible plants based on his breath, and An Ziqi chewed them raw.In the last days, food is hard to find, and it doesn't matter whether it's raw or cooked.

An Ziqi found mushrooms under several old trees again!It must have rained a few days ago.

An Ziqi stared at the mushrooms and considered for a long time, finally picked them and pocketed them in the hem of his clothes.No way, he really has some shadows about mushrooms, who made his incomprehensible friend the best at "growing" mushrooms!During those days, he was really afraid of this mushroom-like thing.However, although he didn't want to eat it, those two little radish heads in his family needed it!

An Ziqi closed his eyes, and carefully sensed his surroundings through the surrounding vegetation.Although wood-type power users do not have the powerful mental power of spirit-type power users, their ability to sense life is unmatched by other power users, especially in places with a lot of vegetation, which is simply a paradise for wood-type power users.

Suddenly, An Ziqi opened his eyes, and the branch in his hand flew away, and went straight into a dense weeds. He only heard a groan and scream, and then there was no movement.

An Ziqi walked over slowly, pulled out the grass, picked up the branches, and brought out a hare that had been knocked unconscious.This kind of hare is the best at hiding. Most people can't find it, and if they find it, they may not be able to catch it. They run very fast.I don't know how much effort his father spent to catch such a one.

An Ziqi found a few more grass stalks, which were too tender and not strong. With a flash of blue light in his hand, the grass stalks grew at a speed visible to the naked eye and became old.An Ziqi felt that it was almost done, so he stopped, tied the rabbit's neck, and held the other end in his hand.

An Ziqi gave a wry smile as he consumed more than half of the energy in his body, as expected of a tasteless ability in the early stage!Throw a ball of blue light at the rabbit, and the rabbit wakes up leisurely. Seeing that he is actually tied up, he struggles endlessly. How can An Ziqi's grass stalk keep earning for a long time, so he has to be pitiful. He looked at An Ziqi.

Could An Ziqi be that soft-hearted person who is still thinking about steaming the rabbit?It’s still braised in soy sauce to supplement nutrition for the family. I didn’t see the rabbit’s begging for mercy at all, and I just pretended I didn’t see it!

The ability is almost exhausted, An Ziqi's face turned pale, but fortunately, the wood energy here is strong, and it should recover soon. There is no crystal nucleus here that can quickly replenish and cultivate the ability, and it can only be absorbed by the body. An Ziqi can't help it. Dare to use the power again.

So, An Ziqi dragged the rabbit, carried the mushrooms, and continued walking inside holding up the branches.

Suddenly, An Ziqi's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to a bush.This bush is about two meters high, with sparse leaves and withered leaves, but no new leaves.An Ziqi put the mushrooms on the ground first, and then tied the rabbit under a nearby tree.I rolled up my sleeves and walked to the bush, first loosened the soil under the bush with a branch, then grabbed the lower branch of the bush, pulled it out hard, and a bunch of swollen roots were pulled out.

There are seven or eight sweet potato-like lumps connected together on that root, An Ziqi knew that it was cassava.

Cassava is a shrub-like perennial crop. The whole plant is poisonous, and the root is edible. As long as it is cooked properly, the toxin can be removed and it is very nutritious.

An Ziqi only pulled out one, and felt that it was enough. He wrote down the location here, and will come back next time.

An Ziqi picked the cassava, continued to tie it with grass stems, picked up a bunch of mushrooms, and picked up the mushrooms. The rabbit pulled it away and walked outside.He was worried that the two siblings would look for him when they saw that he hadn't returned for a long time, and he would cry to death if something happened.

On the way back, I picked up some grass seeds, or seeds of edible plants, and stuffed them all into the sleeves. Thanks to the convenient storage bags invented by the ancient working people.

Before they left the woods, An Ziqi heard An Ziqin and An Zimin's anxious calls.An Ziqi's heart warmed up, and he stepped faster.The rabbit was dragged to the point of utter misery, "Sister! Zimin! I'm here!" An Ziqi yelled loudly.

After a while, An Ziqin and An Zimin hurried over.

"Don't worry, I haven't lost it yet, slow down." Seeing the two of them sweating from running, An Ziqi felt very distressed.

"Brother, didn't you tell me not to go into the mountains?" An Ziqin questioned before she could catch her breath. She was terrified.

"I didn't go in, it's in the outskirts of the woods!" An Ziqi quickly explained.

"The grove is also under the mountain!" An Ziqin got angry.

"Yeah, my brother made me and my sister very worried!" An Zimin also complained.

An Ziqi hurriedly begged for mercy, coaxed them, and said a lot of good things before the two of them calmed down.

An Ziqi quickly pulled the rabbit over to present the treasure, which surprised the two buns.

"Brother is amazing! The first time I went to the woods, I caught a rabbit! Dad is not as good as you!" An Zimin's eyes sparkled.

"Rabbit meat is delicious, but brother, you are not allowed to go alone next time! How dangerous!" An Ziqin was not very happy.

An Ziqi felt very warm, and it felt good to have family members. In the last days, he went out and went back. Jiang Siya only cared about how many supplies he brought back, and never worried about whether he was in danger!What an idiot he was!

"Well, let's go together in the future!" An Ziqi promised.

"En!" An Ziqin nodded.

"Brother, what is this? Sweet potato?" An Zimin pointed at An Ziqi's hand.

An Ziqi brought the food over, "This is cassava, you can eat it after the poison is removed! It's as delicious as sweet potatoes."

"Really? Then we won't have to go hungry in the future! That's great!" An Zimin jumped up happily.

"Well, with me in the future, I won't let you go hungry again."

"Let's go back! The vegetable basket is still by the river."

"Ok!"

"it is good!"

The three walked towards the river holding hands.

"Hide the mushrooms and rabbits, if they see them, they will cause a lot of trouble." An Ziqi said.

"En!" An Ziqin took some water celery out of the basket, "Put it here!"

An Ziqi nodded, and put the mushrooms in.

"What about the rabbit?" An Zimin was worried.

"How about it!" An Ziqi threw the rabbit into An Zimin's arms, and An Zimin hugged him quickly, "Cover it with your clothes, and I'll carry you home."

After speaking, he carried him on his back.An Ziqin followed behind with a basket.

"Brother, your strength has grown. You couldn't carry Zimin on your back before!" An Zimin asked curiously from behind.

"Well, when my brother recovers from his illness, his strength will increase! Naturally, he will move Zimin on his back!"

"Oh……"

An Ziqin looked at An Ziqi's face, and found that he really didn't show any reluctance, and he didn't even feel sick, so he felt relieved.

Li Langzhong is really good, and he must repay this favor in the future!

An Ziqi didn't know that An Ziqin had already found an excuse for his change, so he didn't have to explain it.

The three returned home without any risk, and met no one on the way.An Ziqin kept some of the water celery, and gave the rest to the chickens. These chickens were raised by her since she was a child, but unfortunately she never even ate a single egg laid by the chickens.
