Chapter 3 Finding Food

The pair of bony hands on his body trembled slightly when he propped up on the wooden plank, and his middle qi was exhausted, only because he had not eaten enough for a long time.

Thinking about the pitiful life of these people, and thinking about the fact that he was in Jiang'an City, almost every day, he had big fish and meat, alas, he only sighed that kind of life was in a trance, like a previous life or a dream.

Qin Mo stood up from the bed with his body trembling slightly because he had no strength, gritting his teeth, and the messy hair on his head like withered grass immediately fell out in two, which really hurt the scenery...

The jute clothes on his body are only as short as his knees, so helpless, and he can't do it, at least there are more places than Xiangxiang's body...

Look at your feet and legs, your legs are so thin, they are really similar to dry wood.

There is no way, first of all, I have to get food for Xiangxiang and myself, looking at my weak body, I should have not eaten for a long time.

When I woke up, my stomach hurt from hunger, and I could feel the air breeze.

Standing on the ground and thinking about the situation again, to solve the hunger, there must be no food at home, the half bowl of sweet potato porridge is bitter, look at the color should be rotten sweet potatoes, even the things that came down from the imperial court are still like this, it is strange that there are two good grains at home, and there is also food Sister will not starve to death.

Now the only way to do this is to go outside the house to find food. Now it is advisable to go to the public fields to dig wild vegetables, as long as you can eat anyway.

Sister――

Seeing Qin Mo standing at the door of the mud wall and thinking, Xiangxiang screamed, her little face folded into a flower with a smile, and she ran over happily with her short legs...

Qin Mo responded inadvertently, but began to think about it again, and looked around from the wall, there was a famine these days, and every family was having a hard time, and the wild vegetables were only afraid that they would also be picked up, but this food must be obtained.

Fortunately, I had an ancestor in the countryside when I was a child, and I learned a lot of things by watching it, and I still have a deep memory of some game, otherwise I really don't know how to mix it when I come here.

Since I went out to pick things, it was important to have tools that could hold them, but when I looked around, there were no tools at home that could hold things.

Catching up, as soon as he went out, a wet wind penetrated the person's clothes, and the cold whole body shivered.

It was already night, and when I looked at the land in front of Pingchuan, there was land, fields, and ponds.

Many families were already cooking dinner, and everywhere there was curling smoke, coming out of the blue chimney, and the blue-gray smoke rose up, as if connected with the clouds in the gray sky.

Behind the house, there is a small dirt slope, there is sparse vegetation on it, and then look back, but the green mountains are lush, the mountains intersect vertically and horizontally, you can't see the top at a glance, the mountains are verdant, and the vegetation on the mountains is lush, seeing this, Qin Mo stood in place and was happy,

Fortunately, at least there is a mountain behind the house, the so-called relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to draft, since there is a mountain, then you can go to the mountain to find something to eat to survive, in case the mountain will give surprise is not necessarily.

Qin Mo guessed correctly, it was indeed raining just now, and there was a great drought for two months, and it only rained in the past two days, and it happened to be in time for her.

The sky is cloudy, the wind is cold, and the air is still damp...

I hope to find something to eat, thinking about it, Qin Mo stretched out his hand and tightened the clothes on his body, and plunged into the wind,

Sister――

Xiangxiang stood at the dirt door and watched, wanting to follow out, but she wore less than Qin Mo.

The wind was cold outside, and the small figure stood alone by the mud wall, shouting from afar that Qin Mo wanted to follow and was afraid of the cold wind.

As soon as Qin Mo turned around, he saw a pair of barefoot standing on the mud floor, and the two thin leg bones that leaked out like thin branches and no flesh at all, were less than a foot high.

Looking at her appearance with helpless eyes, Qin Mo's nose was sour.

Turn around and wave

Xiangxiang, don't come with you, just wait in the house, my sister will find something to eat and come back to you.

Sister-Xiangxiang listened to Qin Mo's words, stunned for a moment, Qin Mo was still hesitating, and Xiangxiang didn't listen to persuasion at all, raised her bare little feet and trotted happily to follow.

This cold wind, and it is a puddle of water, this child is barefoot, a two-year-old child, such a small foot, such tender flesh skin, the grass awl hurts very much on the foot, not to mention other things, but there is no one else in this family to take care of her except her, so it is not a matter to leave her like this, alas, thinking about it, Qin Mo felt a little more sour in his heart.

Sister. Sister. The little girl screamed, with a happy and satisfied look, and ran to Qin Mo's side briskly, raising her little face, her eyes full of sparkling longing to look at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo sighed lightly, knowing that she wanted to eat, and only wrapped her round head with two braids with one hand, and her depressed voice.

Let's go.

The weather was cold and clear, and there was a lonely silence in this countryside, with rain and fog all over the place, and the smoke from all over the place was mixed with the mist on the fields.

Occasionally passing by the grassy place, the leaves are full of water droplets.

Actually, I don't blame the big girl for starving to death.

Walking out of the house, and then passing by the fields, the ground was bare all along the way, there were few grasses, let alone the vegetables to eat, there was a green place from a distance, but it was grass that could not be eaten at all, Qin Mo pulled Xiangxiang, both of them had thin legs, one foot deep and one foot shallow foot into the soft mud.

There are a few ridges not far away, there are vegetables in them, and a few white radishes can be seen sparsely, Qin Mo wants to steal a little but is afraid of being caught and beaten so badly, when she first arrives, she can't tell the situation in this village, she doesn't dare to steal indiscriminately.

It was getting darker and darker.

Looking for wild vegetables, I still found nothing.

And Xiangxiang's expression was no longer clear in the night, and Qin Mo only heard the sound of rustling.

Sister, don't we have dinner again tonight?

Yes, definitely.

Qin Mo raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead, digging those radishes in the radish field and pulling the fibrous roots of a radish that fell to the ground.

There were no tools, only digging by hand, and the roots were deep, and Qin Mo only dug up two little finger-long fibrous roots after digging for a long time.

Moreover, people dig very hard, and their fingers hurt so much, the mud is soft at the top, and still very hard at the bottom, and the numbness of the finger pain seems to be not their own.

And Qin Mo was still digging hard.

Finally, after about half an hour, there were still only two radish fibrous roots the size of two little fingers in my hands.

Qin Mo looked at the food he had found in the palm of his hand, helpless, for the first time, Qin Mo felt helpless in a desperate situation...

I never thought that there would really be such a situation, that is, you can't find anything to eat, not even the roots of grass, even the leaves of weeds.

However, there is nothing, even if there are one or two ridges of large-leaved grass, the grass is really inedible and cannot be swallowed.

Sister...

Xiangxiang, don't worry, maybe we can still find something to eat-Qin Mo, who stood up, felt dizzy, which was caused by his poor health.

Now I'm not sure I'll find something to eat.

Alas, God, it is said that there is no endless road, why is Qin Mo really a little desperate at this moment.

Suddenly, just as she stood up and raised her head to wipe her sweat, she had already looked away, and suddenly moved her gaze back, and the next moment, Qin Mo's eyes widened in disbelief, only staring at one place, and the unstoppable joy in her heart seemed to make her almost scream.
