Chapter 008 Changes
When coming, he traversed mountains and ridges; on the way back, Gu Siwei simply made a raft, binding several logs as thick as a bowl with vines, and directly set it down along the river.
As for the persimmons in the space, if Gu Siwei is willing, but those things need to be picked one by one, he doesn't have that kind of leisure time. Moreover, for Gu Siwei, the villagers are on the verge of not having enough to eat, so it shouldn't matter whether the persimmons are in the space or outside of it.
As the village grew larger in Gu Siwei's sight, the villagers quickly noticed Gu Siwei.
Gu Siwei directly handed the chicken to Liu Fulin, saying: "Thanks to the care of the villagers these days, this little thing is deserved."
There are some chicken pieces added to the porridge
Returning to bask in the sun while continuing to crack open the chestnuts, when it was time for a meal, everyone heard the ringing of the bell and got up to head to the dining hall
Gu Siwei did not deceive him; he directly mentioned the location of the persimmon tree.
Light travels in a straight line, and Gu Siwei is still quite close to the village, at most about ten kilometers in a straight line. However, if there is no space for Gu Siwei to walk on two legs, it is estimated that it would take at least a day to return to the village.
What materials are needed for building a new house? Essentially, they are wood, cement, and stone. As for tiles, Gu Siwei feels they are risky. Currently, with the nationwide movement, it is uncertain whether tiles are available. Even if they are, it is likely that people would not spend money to buy them
An elderly gentleman who had come over to join the fun asked while puffing on his pipe
Two days later, Gu Siwei prepared to return to the village and heard the roar of a tiger in the forest
This is not that Gu Siwei is truly idle; Old Gu is preparing to settle in the village. In the future, there will certainly need to be a place to live. Given those dilapidated houses in the village, how could someone like Gu Siwei, who has been away for decades, possibly get used to living there
The layers of food transmission naturally lead to Gu Siwei being the best at hetushu.com. Slightly burnt wild chickens are given to the sycophants, while those that are more burnt are given to the sycophants' subordinates. The dark and unappealing ones, along with the bones, are finally allocated to the monkey group
There are hoof prints of pigs by the river, and there is also pig droppings; if this is not a wild boar, then what is it
This ... ...
Comrade Gu, where did you catch this wild chicken? It is so plump
In summary, today's meal was much livelier than before. Although there was only one chicken, it seemed that everyone truly enjoyed the flavors.
This coin was packed by the old Gu, leaving a group of old men speechless, with some simply choosing to remain silent and continue sucking on the persimmons in their hands
After chatting for a while, everyone had eaten some persimmons, and now they could not even have chicken. Thus, everyone helped Gu Siwei pull the raft ashore. After gathering together to chat for a while, they each took home three to five persimmons.
I have eaten in the mountains
Liu Dezhuz asked: "Where are there many persimmons?"
Soon, Gu Siwei discovered traces of wild boars by the river. Although he was not very familiar with wild boars, he recalled the old saying: one has either eaten pork or seen a pig run. Regardless, he knew what a pig's trotters looked like.
The echo that reverberated through the mountains and forests instantly made Gu Siwei understand what kind of might was called the roar of the tiger in the mountains and forests
Awoo! Awoo!
Approaching Liu Fulin, Gu Siwei handed over four wild chickens that were tied together in pairs.
Delicious
Guo Xiangping was taken aback after hearing this, looking at Gu Siwei in disbelief: "You can go to the top of that mountain?"
Some people still find it hard to believe
Old Gu, this is just nonsense. Whether something is fishy or not depends on the quantity. If one chicken is chopped into pieces and put into two large pots for dozens of people in the village to eat, if that is considered fishy, then a whole chicken would surely be overwhelmingly fishy to the point of being rotten
Hmm, it really is hetushucom.com wild persimmons
Gu Siwei brought the raft to the shore, greeted the onlookers enjoying the spectacle, and then lifted the four wild chickens from the raft
The children finished off that tiny bit of meat, and what remained was passed around in the mouths of the adults in each household. The leftover bones were then taken away by the dogs to be gnawed on, ensuring that not a single bit was wasted
What seems like flat ground when climbing mountains and crossing ridges is not something an ordinary person can achieve; even among seasoned climbers, there are very few who can ascend a cliff of several dozen meters without any equipment
It is indeed strange; Gu Siwei complained about the fishy taste and lack of flavor while eating, yet when a whole chicken is placed in a large pot, the porridge that comes out is truly much more fragrant and sweet than before
Did you go up
Try it
Gu Siwei addressed Liu Fulin, as well as Captain Yang Chuanwu.
Upon hearing his words about sweetness, the children by the shore, already drooling with desire, could no longer contain themselves and immediately began to reach out and grab.
Although the taste is poor, this is the first time Gu Siwei has eaten a full meal since coming here. Decades later, he may not feel that eating a full meal is anything special, but what about now
It has been very smooth; from upstream to downstream, everything has gone exceptionally well, reminiscent of the lines "The cries of the monkeys on both banks never cease, and the raft has already passed through several mountains."
To this end, Yang Chuanwu also sought the opinion of Gu Siwei
Liu Dezhuzhi reached out and took one, simply wiped it and sent it to his mouth
Liu Dezhuzhi immediately took a bite of the half-eaten persimmon in his hand, reached out to lift the vine bundle, and placed it on the shore
Taking a bite, he grinned and shouted at the people on the shore: "Sweet!"
In any case, the situation is quite difficult; within a radius of about 10 miles, there are no small animals like wild chickens left. Not to mention wild chickens, even field mice are rarely seen around here now
He wanted to take it, but Liu Fulin felt a bit embarrassed. Just a couple of days ago, he had indirectly asked the person when they would leave, and now seeing them come back carrying a chicken, he reached out to take it
Secondly, nearly all the edible items nearby have been consumed, whether they are wild fruits or wild vegetables, all treated as food. There is not even a drop to drink, and naturally, the wild chickens in the mountains will no longer come around.
The four monkeys sitting not far away do not seem to mind; each of them is wide-eyed, eagerly gazing at Gu Siwei. A little farther from them is the entire monkey troop.
Grass can be used for the roof, but it is impossible to use grass for the beams, so the wood that Gu Siwei used to build the raft comes into play
There are still wild persimmons picked in the basket
With this idea in mind, Gu Siwei continued to search along the riverbank.
Gu Siwei replied with a sentence, and after speaking, he saw Liu Dezhu handing him a persimmon, so he waved his hand
Someone is coming, someone is coming
Gu Siwei definitely would not eat it; he has no interest in competing with the children for food. Moreover, he has already eaten over here.
Old Man Liu! Captain Yang! ... ...
Walking about ten kilometers in a day? This is not an exaggeration at all. This is a mountainous area, and as the saying goes, "the view of the mountains can tire a horse to death." Moreover, when you are in the mountains, what appears to be close is actually quite distant. The villages on two mountain peaks can see each other, yet it is not surprising if it takes you one or two days to traverse the rugged mountain paths.
He tore a piece of chicken breast, and after tasting it, Gu Siwei found the fishy smell still quite strong. However, it was not entirely unpalatable. Given the current conditions, Gu Siwei could only act like a Ninja Turtle.
Guo Xiangping asked, "Could you tell me where the persimmon tree is located, approximately in which area?"
The chicken was not completely consumed; only one rooster was eaten, while the remaining larger rooster and two hens were not touched, all of which are kept in the storeroom of the dining hall
It is not quite chicken nuggets; chicken cubes are more accurate. Whether it is bone or meat, they are roughly the size of a finger joint. These items generally end up in the bowls of children of all ages.
I don't know, anyway, Gu Siwei is preparing to take a look around. If it really doesn't work, he will still use grass to cover the roof.
Gu Siwei was very eager to see a tiger, but unfortunately, he had no ability to find one. After realizing this, Gu Siwei honestly turned around and headed back to the village along the riverbank
The villagers are quite discerning when it comes to this item; there are persimmon trees in the village, and the fruits produced are also quite good. However, in terms of appearance, they fall far short compared to these persimmons
Gu Siwei followed Liu Fulin and his grandson Liu Dezhu back to their small courtyard
The two no longer stood on ceremony and each took a persimmon.
"Not too many, but there are still some. I don't have any bags or containers here, so I can only bring this much back. There should be about two or three more baskets in the village over there, but that's uncertain. Right now, these persimmons might attract birds or something," Gu Siwei said.
The feeding order of this wild small group led by Gu Siwei is as follows: first is Gu Siwei, second is the sycophant, third are the three subordinates of the sycophant, and finally, it is the monkey group
Upon discovering the wild boar, Gu Siwei decided to wait for a while; however, after waiting for several hours without any results, Gu Siwei continued to search upstream
The old gentleman is an experienced mountain dweller, aware that it is quite difficult to catch a wild chicken that has grown this fat. There are mainly two reasons for this: first, over the years, the villagers have faced hardships, and all the easily catchable wild chickens in the vicinity have already been caught.
The old gentleman nodded after listening and fell silent.
Gu Siwei, feeling quite pleased, patted his own belly, almost wishing to sing a song to express his sentiments
While Gu Siwei was speaking, Liu Dezhu was already standing on the raft, reaching out to push aside some of the hay covering it, revealing persimmons that were bright red like little lanterns.
Gu Siwei pointed at the grass bag placed on the raft, stating that the grass and the book bag were essentially just a few vines haphazardly woven together, containing the persimmons that Gu Siwei had received from the monkey.
Is this a wild persimmon
The village has acquired some game, but Gu Siwei does not wish to return so soon. He is eager to familiarize himself further with the mountainous forests. To be precise, he wants to explore the riverbanks to see what plants and animals are available for consumption nearby. After all, it would be nice to have a change of flavor from the daily cornmeal.
Those capable of such deeds can be counted on one hand, even when considering all the nearby villages combined
Desiring a comfortable living environment, Gu Siwei contemplated that he must take action to build a new house
Gu Siwei brought wild chicken, so the porridge in the pot at night is naturally going to taste better.
It is not Guo Xiangping either, and the nearby elderly individuals are somewhat bewildered, as they know where this place is, yet none of them have the ability to go up there
Do you think this is tragic? The original Monkey King can now only gnaw on bones, and they are the kind that have been chewed countless times by other monkeys. Not to mention the meat, even the flavor of wild chicken is no longer left.
The children's cries drew all the adults out of their homes. They first saw Gu Siwei, and then noticed the four mountain chickens on Gu Siwei's raft, which made the smiles on many faces even more pronounced
Gu Siwei said: "I am not quite sure what place it is, but I just caught it when I saw it"
Gu Siwei, with a hint of showiness, said with a smile: "Well, I went up there, and although it looks quite dangerous, it’s actually nothing much"
The mischievous children rushed forward eagerly, running alongside the lumberjack by the river, shouting and calling out as they ran
Yang Chuanwu was somewhat incredulous; these wild persimmons were even tastier than the ones grown in the village. Where could one possibly argue this point
Waiting to be brought ashore, half of the persimmons are already gone
Upon seeing the village, the water gradually calmed down, and Gu Siwei used a stick as thick as his arm as a pole.
