Chapter 381: Famine Era I
Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info waited for Jiuyue to go out, looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but grow her mouth, now it's July and August this autumn, in her memory, it should be fruitful, even if the leaves are yellow, it is not time to fall, but, what did she see!
There are no leaves on the trees for a long time, even the bark has been ripped off, although there is still food in the fields, but everywhere there are weeds, the wheat, not even the height of their own arms, especially the whole mountain, except for a long distance, there is a trace of blue, near it, has long become earthy yellow, the trees on the mountain, it is estimated that they are exactly the same as the trees in front of them, they have been plucked and the leaves have been smoked!
Jiuyue carried the basket on her back, not knowing where to go, this scene was really miserable!
"Jiuyue, what are you still doing standing here? Hurry up and dig the roots of the tree with the eldest mother! A weak voice came, Jiuyue turned her head, and saw a woman with a yellow face, blue bags under her eyes, and a thin body saying to herself!
"Aunt Gu!" Jiuyue said hello according to her memory, and then followed the crowd, moved to the deep mountain together, standing at the foot of the mountain, Jiuyue breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, although the leaves were picked up, but the bark was not peeled, as long as it was not peeled, the trees will sprout next year, as long as the trees sprout, there will be hope!
Aunt Gu looked at Jiuyue who was in a daze, and hurriedly reminded, "Jiuyue, don't be in a daze, hurry up and dig it, otherwise, it will be gone in a while!" ”
"Oh oh oh!" Jiuyue hurriedly nodded, squatted on the ground, and began to dig the soil, choosing several edible grass roots and putting them in the back basket!
After a while, the earth, which was still with a hint of greenery, suddenly became yellow, and the surroundings were full of silence, except for life, no other sound could be heard, which made people can't help but be afraid!
"Auntie, I see that there is still a lot of grass on that mountain? Why don't we go there? Jiuyue pointed to the mountains in the distance and asked, after all, it's time to eat grass roots, there should be a lot of edible plants in the mountains in the distance, why don't you go there!
"Silly girl, there are leopards, tigers, and fierce wild boars, bears, etc., in the deep mountains, and they can still survive, but if we go in, we can't get out alive!" Aunt Gu said weakly!
When Jiuyue heard the news, her little heart also fluttered, no one had ever been there, I don't know if it should be rich, now in Huang has just started, take advantage of this time, practice martial arts well, and when the time comes, you can also win a life!
After Jiuyue thought about this clearly, she dug up some edible grass roots, and suddenly dug up, looking at a red lump, Jiuyue hurriedly dug them up, large and small, there were five or six sweet potatoes!
Jiuyue put them in the back basket, and it was full at once, mainly because the back basket was too small, but when Jiuyue was carrying them, it was still a little difficult!
The surrounding women, seeing Jiuyue's harvest, all cast envious eyes, Jiuyue took these sweet potatoes, returned home, washed them without even shaving the skin, and cooked them with the grass roots!
Although things are difficult to eat, but there are many things, Jiuyue didn't feed March to eat or hugged her, went to kindergarten, looked at a thin bowl of gruel in front of her, Jiuyue fed it into the child's mouth, and before it was a while, she saw the bottom!
Back at home, Jiuyue took the needle and thread, and barely changed a few clothes but couldn't change it, because there was no thread at home!
But the two children finally had clothes to wear, and Jiuyue put them next to their pillows, and fell asleep in the moonlight at dusk!
The next morning, Jiuyue opened her eyes early in the morning, and after practicing her internal strength for a while, she went to the yard to sprinkle a few sets of punches, and her originally weak body began to improve!
Most people here don't eat breakfast, because they don't know how to maintain health, but they really don't have so much food!
Jiuyue dug back the grass roots and sweet potatoes yesterday, if you save a little to eat, you can still eat for three or four days, while there is still time, Jiuyue made a few fish baskets and put them by the river, although this small river has been touched by the children in the village, Jiuyue still wants to try it, can you do a little fish!
I made a few more sets, put them on the edge of the deep mountain, and went a few meters forward, after digging some wild vegetables, I hurriedly ran out, how long will I go, only to hear a tiger roar through the sky, Jiuyue was suddenly shocked to the ground, covering his ears, his heart was beating non-stop, and he couldn't help but be glad that he ran fast, otherwise, it would be good to leave a whole corpse!
Carrying these wild vegetables, Jiuyue returned home, but found that there was a woman standing at the door, Jiuyue's brows furrowed slightly, but she still stepped forward and nodded politely, "Hello auntie, I don't know about you...... What are you doing standing on our doorstep? ”
"Yo, you're about Jiuyue, your blessing has arrived!" Lai Pozi stretched out her swarthy hand and touched it towards Jiuyue's face, Jiuyue hurriedly took a step back, leaving Lai Pozi empty!
Lai Pozi smiled embarrassedly, "I'm Lai Pozi, little girl, I'm here today to discuss something important with you, I'm ......"
"I don't need to, get out of here!" When I heard the name in September, I immediately thought of who this person was, this Lai Pozi didn't have a good reputation, in the old society, she sold the daughter of the good family to a bad place, after the founding of New China, she also got criticized, greeting the New Year, its business opportunities have come again, walking the streets and alleys all day long, and the reputation is to help people go on blind dates, but ah...... Specializing in child bride-in-law business!
"Little girl, I haven't said it yet, what do you refuse, you don't look at it, what time is it now, I won't hurt you back then, I guarantee that you can have a bite to eat and live well, as for your two sisters and younger brothers, I will find them a good family, you ......"
Before the woman finished speaking, Jiuyue picked up the stick and hit her, only making the old woman scream in pain, the pig that was killed was exactly the same!
"You have good things and bad things, even if I starve to death, I won't let my brothers and sisters out, I tell you, you must not appear in front of me, otherwise, I will go to Qingdao to sue you, saying that you want to practice the old social ideology and sell me to others as a child daughter-in-law!"
"I ...... No, I just want you to live...... Please spare me...... Ahh......hhh Don't fight, I'll go, I'll go...... Ahhhh......h
