Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 352 Picking up a pheasant

"Okay, don't worry. We are not stupid. Everyone can be lazy, especially the Taoist priest. Hahahaha," Grandpa Zhao said with a smile.

"You're the only one who's diligent. Okay, stop talking, while the weather isn't too hot, start dismantling the shed. Xiaochuan and I will do it, and you can continue to teach Mu'er according to your plan."

"Yes, yes, yes. Work is work, but Mu'er's enlightenment cannot be delayed any longer." Lu Chuan stood up and spoke.

"I understand. I'll help you guys when I'm free."

After that, everyone stood up, and Xu Han went back to her housewife duties. While they were renovating the backyard, Xu Han was responsible for the housework.

The firewood shed in the front yard is no longer used. Xu Han had said before that he wanted to tear it down, but there was never enough time to do it. Today, we can finally start the work.

"Let's put the dismantled wood and bamboo outside first and use them as firewood later."

"Okay, let's put it outside first. The previous bamboo thorns are almost burned out. We can burn these next. They can be used for a while."

"Okay, then I'll move everything outside. There's still some charcoal left in the firewood shed. Where should I put it?" asked Grandpa Zhao.

"Let's put it in the former woodshed first, and then see if we can build a woodshed in the backyard in winter. The woodshed will be too crowded in the front yard. Then we can move the doghouse to the backyard and leave the front yard completely empty. This way it will look brighter." Xu Han explained.

"Well, that's fine too. We can also build the doghouse and the woodshed first and then lay the bluestone slabs. This way we don't have to tear them down later."

"That's a good suggestion. I just forgot about the woodshed and the doghouse."

"Hahaha, it's not too late to think about it now. Hasn't the construction started yet?"

"Okay, let's start dismantling the woodshed."

Lu Chuan first climbed up and threw down the thatch on the roof. Because it had been there for a long time, all the thatch had weathered. Although Lu Chuan repaired it several times in the middle, it was almost all broken.

If it is not removed now, it will definitely leak when it rains heavily in the summer.

"Just carry these straws into the kitchen to use as a fire starter."

"Sure, there aren't many. If there's not enough space in the kitchen, just put it outside. Anyway, judging from the weather, it doesn't look like it's going to rain in the near future."

The bamboo used before has almost become old and cannot be used when building the new firewood shed, so we have to choose new ones.

So when Lu Chuan was dismantling the house, he chopped all the bamboos so that he could use them directly as firewood.

The firewood shed was not very big, and the two of them dismantled it completely in just one morning.

In the afternoon, after lunch, Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest went to the bluestone pile to look for stones, while Xu Han cleaned up the house and waited until mid-afternoon before taking the dogs to find Lu Chuan.

When Xu Han came, she also took a small basket with her, planning to pick some wild vegetables on the way back.

"Black Spot, come here quickly, don't go to the creek."

While Xu Han was picking wild celery beside the stream, she was shouting to the black spots in the water to come up.

This wild celery is delicious when used to stir-fry beef or make dumplings.

Thinking of dumplings, Xu Han realized that she really hadn't eaten them recently. It seems that she can make arrangements for them in the near future.

After picking the fruits for a while, Xu Han discovered that the black spot did not come up. Instead, it was moving further and further into the water. So she walked forward a few steps to see why the black spot did not come up.

"Black Spot, what are you doing? Come up here quickly, we are leaving."

"Woof woof woof." The black spot shouted loudly in one direction.

Xu Han was instantly worried. What happened? Black Spot rarely disobeys.

Xu Han could now clearly see that the black spot wanted to go to the other side, but he was worried about Xu Han and Fantuan beside him.

Xu Han walked forward a few steps and still didn't see anything. Judging from Heidian's reaction, it didn't seem like he was in danger, otherwise Heidian would have called out and taken a defensive stance.

"Black Spot, have you discovered anything?" Xu Han asked.

Hearing this, Black Spot screamed a few more times. Xu Han did not dare to be careless. She did not have good skills and did not dare to act rashly.

Although this place is not far from home, there are not many people here. If there really are any large prey or people, Xu Han probably won't be able to escape.

But then he thought that if it was dangerous, Black Spot would not do that, so he plucked up his courage and went straight into the stream.

The river water was still quite cold at this time of year, and Xu Han shivered as soon as he went in.

But I thought since I was already wet, I might as well move forward.

In fact, Xu Han seldom goes to the other side of the stream and is not very familiar with this place.

There is no bridge here, so if you want to cross the stream you have to go through the water.

It was okay in the summer, not too cold. She would go there occasionally, but in other seasons, Xu Han would hardly go there.

So even though it was very close, I was not very familiar with the valley across the stream.

However, Lu Chuan often crosses to the other side, so it seems that he needs to build a bridge as soon as possible.

This will also make it convenient to go to the creek in the future. In fact, Xu Han had this idea during the disaster year, but later he was afraid that the bridge would be damaged by the flood, so he did not build it.

As for the drought, although there was no water in the stream and she could go directly across, there was nothing to eat in the mountains at that time, so Xu Han was too lazy to go.

When Xu Han followed the black dot to the other side of the stream, the black dot quickly ran towards a bush.

Xu Han followed closely. After Heidian stopped, he called out to Xu Han a few more times.

"Wang Wang Wang."

"Did you discover something?" Xu Han ran over quickly.

As Xu Han approached, she heard a chirping sound. "Hahaha, Heidian, you are awesome too, you are a pheasant."

"Why isn't the hen here? These chicks look like they've been hungry for a long time."

Xu Han was puzzled, thinking that the hen might have met with an accident and died.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have left her children here to starve miserably.

Xu Han thought about it, took out a backpack from the space, put some hay at the bottom of the backpack, put the chicks directly into the backpack and took them home.

If I don't take them back, these chicks will either starve to death or be eaten by other animals.

In that case, I might as well take it home and raise it myself.

When the chicks grow up a little, clip their wing feathers so that they can't fly far.

Moreover, pheasants are not particularly difficult to raise if they are raised from a young age. They will become the same as domestic chickens after a long time.

"Leave the black spot and go find Lu Chuan."

Xu Han put on the backpack, waded across the stream, and continued walking in the direction where Lu Chuan was.
