Chapter 3: Death by starvation is a big deal

June didn't walk fast, his stomach was very hungry, and the long-term hunger effect was that his legs were limp, he didn't have much strength in his body, and he walked with three breaths. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Losing the festival is a small thing, starving to death is a big thing!

After walking most of the forest, June almost didn't want to waste his two little short legs, which was simply consuming the original physical strength, and the gains outweighed the losses.

There's a big bundle of firewood waiting to be carried back!

Preparing to go back, September and Nineteen had already run over, "Fourth sister, have you found anything to eat?" ”

Two pairs of sparkling eyes watched June eagerly.

June was speechless.

Maybe it's because this sister is very competent, at least she always hides something to eat, which makes the two little ones always expect a piece of cornmeal dumplings or a piece of sweet potato that suddenly comes out of their sister's hand.

June shook her head.

September and Nineteen collapsed their heads in disappointment and walked back silently, their little shoulders drooping.

June felt sad, just to fill her stomach, such a low requirement, not big fish and meat, not delicacies from the mountains and seas, just to satisfy the problem of hunger, but she couldn't do it, she was not a fairy, she could conjure up a bunch of delicacies with a wave of her hand.

Let's go, how to change the status quo at home after going back is the root of the problem.

He turned his head to keep up with the two little boys, but was attracted by a clump of dead branches at the edge of the forest.

June's eyes lit up, "September, come and help me!" ”

As soon as September heard this, he immediately ran back, and the three-year-old nineteen saw this and ran over with all his might.

He also shouted: "Sister, sister, I can help too!" ”

June took a woodcutter to rip off the dead branches on the ground, and began to pull the soil underneath, which was actually dry and hard, and it was a little difficult to dig up.

September looked at June puzzled and asked, "Fourth sister, what are you doing?" ”

June dug a trench hard and replied, "There's food down here, let's dig it quickly." ”

This is a familiar plant in June, yam!

Of course, I don't know what it's called June here, but I'm familiar with this, but it's also because of my life in Zhuangzi back then.

September was stunned for a moment and said, "Fourth sister, this thing can't be eaten!" This thing is for the cattle and sheep in the mountains. ”

The five-year-old little head tilted to look at June strangely, and the cute little eyes seemed to be particularly worried that his sister had become a fool, and even wanted to eat the grass for the cattle and sheep, and the most important thing was that no one ate this thing.

June was stunned, cattle and sheep ate.

No, when I was in Zhuangzi, the old servant of the family clearly took this thing out by himself, and he also saw with his own eyes that the inconspicuous thing like a dry firewood stick was washed and steamed, and the skin was peeled off, and it became white and clean, delicious and delicious, soft and glutinous, how could it become a feeding for cattle and sheep?

Could it be that things are different in the two places?

June shook his head, even if it's different, I have to dig it out and take a look, I really can't eat it, even if I can eat it, it's not a waste of such a delicious taste in vain!

Dig!

June didn't say anything, lowered his head and began to dig hard.

In September, I saw that my sister didn't speak, but she was still digging, so she had to accommodate and take a small firewood knife and start digging, but she felt a little wasted in her heart.

June dug up the earth, and finally revealed a section of rhizome underneath, something the color of firewood.

With a knife, June broke a section and took it out to take a look, and sure enough, what was exposed inside was white and tender meat and sticky juice.

June hurrays.

That's right!

That's the thing.

In June, he dug out seven or eight thick yams, knocked the soil on them, found a pile of dry firewood and burned them, and buried the yams that were still carrying the soil into the soil under the pyre.

The fire was burning, and the three children warmed themselves around the fire, gesturing and laughing.

Nineteen stared blankly at the fire, tilted his head and asked June: "Fourth sister, can you really eat this?" ”

The stomach was still very cooperative.

June smiled and said, "Of course you can eat it, it will be fine in a while." ”

September was a little unconvinced, but he was very cooperative and didn't want to interrupt his sister and brother's fantasies.

In June, I pulled the firewood aside and continued to burn, and the heating was still good.

I peeled open the hot soil, revealing the yam that had changed color slightly, and I dug it out and peeled off the skin, and immediately the smell of steaming water wafted up.

June took a bite, although there was no salt or sugar, but the hungry stomach was still very cooperative and gave out a comfortable and sweet feeling the moment it sensed the food.

Nineteen couldn't wait to pounce, "Fourth sister, I want to eat too, I want to eat too!" ”

June peeled off the rest of the yam and handed it to Nineteen, instructing, "Be careful with the scalding and eat slowly." ”

Nineteen took it, even though he was hot and jumping his feet, he still couldn't stop eating it, and kept chattering while eating: "It's delicious, it's delicious!" Fourth sister, this thing is so delicious, it's better than our family's dumplings! Can I eat all of this and take the rest home with my parents! ”

June replied sadly: "Eat, this is all yours, you can eat enough today, there are still a lot of here, and the rest is enough for your father and brother to eat, you can eat with an open stomach with confidence." ”

When Nineteen heard this, he immediately smiled contentedly, sat down on the big stone on the side, and began to eat seriously.

June peeled another section for September.

September hesitated for a moment, probably estimating whether this thing could be eaten, but on the one hand, there was something with a hot aroma, and on the other hand, Nineteen ate a loud sweetness, and September finally surrendered to his stomach.

I took a bite and took a small bite, but I was quickly conquered by the soft and glutinous taste and began to eat it in large gulps.

The three children devoured it.

June told September and Nineteen not to leave, just eat here, took the basket to fill, a full basket, until it couldn't be put down at all, didn't stop, June looked carefully, these yams bushes are still a lot, it seems that people are really used as forage for cattle, no one pays attention to the yams underneath, even if they do, it is probably used as something like tree roots, no one takes it as something to eat.

This will be cheaper in June.

June combed his brows, this was the first full meal since arriving here.

My stomach is full, I feel that I have strength in my body, and my body has become warm.

If this thing wants to change the life of the family, it is impossible, but it is still possible to fill the stomach of the family for the time being.

Isn't it the strength to make some changes when you're full?

Life suddenly became a beautiful vision.
