Li Dalang led the way in front, and Erlang kept holding the quilt tightly in his arms, which was explained by Xiao Wu, and he must protect it. It was also the Cao family who was caught off guard by Situ Yan's mistake, and lost face, so he didn't care about it for a while, so Erlang left the quilt.

San Lang and Shiro held Situ Yan's hand together, and several people walked towards the west of the village with a smile and a smile.

The village house and the ancestral hall are in the middle of the village, all the way Situ Yan carefully looked at this Lijia Village in the late autumn morning light, although the houses of the people who live in them are dilapidated, but at least they can shelter from the wind and rain, and most of the houses that no one lives in have collapsed, not to mention that they can't live, I'm afraid that they will be smashed if they get close.

There are not many families who raise chickens, Situ Yan listened carefully, it seems that there are less than ten households, and she can't hear the distant ones clearly. After all, this body has not been trained, and she has no experience and no use. There are even fewer dog owners, and it sounds like there are fewer than five.

Situ Yan also saw some vegetable plots in some yards, which should be planted with cabbage and radish, thinking that this winter vegetable is single, maybe there is no greenhouse! And I didn't see one of the three most common old things in the Northeast winter, "potatoes".

On the way, I saw some village women and some young children carrying baskets in the direction of the Great Wilderness Mountain, Situ Yan greeted these people politely, she still has to take care of the reputation among the villagers, for the sake of a few brothers, she can't be too cold and arrogant. The direction of this walk is exactly the opposite of Li Daniu's house at the head of the village, the farther west it goes, the closer it is to the Great Wilderness Mountain, it seems that this Li Gouzi's house should be close to the side of the mountain.

After walking for a while, I saw a thatched house in the distance, most of the thorny courtyard walls had collapsed, and the courtyard door was hanging crookedly to the side. Situ Yan sighed in her heart, but there was a happy look on her face. She didn't want Li Dalang and them to feel uncomfortable. As long as the family can be together and live in such a place, it is really not a problem for her as a special soldier. It's much better than the tropical rainforest, which uses the sky as the furnace and the earth as the furnace.

Li Dalang glanced at Situ Yan guiltily, until he knew that his little sister could read and write, he felt that this little sister was very different, thinking that his little sister would follow him to endure hardships in the future, his heart was sad. Bent over and hugged Situ Yan, "Little Wu, I'm sorry, the eldest brother made you suffer with you." ”

Situ Yan was still a little uncomfortable when she was held in her arms by a half-grown child, and she was about to refuse, but after listening to Li Dalang's words, she was moved in her heart again, "When Li Dalang sees such a house, he doesn't think about himself, but he is afraid that she will not be used to it." ”

"Big brother, it's very good here, it's close to the mountain, how easy it is to chop firewood and dig vegetables. And we can be together as a family now, that's the most important thing. Xiao Wu didn't feel bitter. ”

"Hmm." This made Li Dalang's eyes a little red, and the little sister was a well-behaved person. He looked at the second brother, the third brother and the fourth brother around him, all three of them stared at him, these are his relatives, they are the people he will protect in the future, his mother said, to have a good heart, to protect his younger brothers, he has never dared to forget, now he has a sister, he has to work more, save a dowry for his sister, and marry a daughter-in-law for his younger brothers.

Situ Yan saw that Li Dalang was a little excited, and hurriedly moved, "Big brother, let's go into that room and have a look?" ”

"Okay." Li Dalang raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and took his younger siblings into the courtyard of Li Gouzi's house.

The door of the main house was opened, and it was said that it was the main house, but in fact it was just an adobe house connected to the stove, and the inner room was even more empty, only an earthen kang, which seemed to be a little cracked, and it was definitely not burned in winter. Situ Yan thought that as long as she could barely sleep, she would choose a place as soon as possible and build their own house according to her plan.

There was nothing to see in this main room, so I turned out to see the stove room, and there was a black kang stove by the door, and there was nothing else. "How could this house be so empty, didn't this family die suddenly? Why do you still have time to move? Situ Yan didn't think for a while, this was moved away, it was obvious that the people in the village knew that the family was dead and secretly took it away.

"Xiao Wu, the things here are all taken away by the villagers." Shiro Zhizi has this sister, and he feels that he has grown up a lot, and he taught his little sister like an adult.

Looking at Li Shilang like this, several people couldn't close their mouths when they laughed, this laughter, the atmosphere that was still a little dull just now was a lot more relaxed, and the mood of the five people also improved.

"My brothers said okay, let me be the housekeeper, then start busy as I said! The eldest brother first went to borrow a sickle to cut the thatch, the second brother and the third brother stayed to clean up the house, sweep the dust and wipe the ashes, and the fourth brother and I went into the mountains to dig wild vegetables and find food. We haven't even eaten breakfast yet? ”

"Little Five, we eat two meals a day, and we don't have to eat breakfast." Li Erlang also rushed to talk to his little sister this time, he liked to listen to his little sister's voice.

"That's not good, our family will have to eat three meals in the future, so that my brothers can make up for the loss, and I will listen to this matter in the future."

Seeing Situ Yan's insistence, Li Dalang thought that the little sister had eaten three meals before, but now he was afraid that he was hungry, and his heart was even more sad. But he has no choice but to listen to Xiaomei's arrangement. I thought in my heart, eat less in the future, and then I can cook three meals for my little sister.

Situ Yan never thought that Li Dalang would think like this, so she first put the basket behind her on the ground, took out a rag from the bottom of the basket, and handed it to Li Erlang, "Second brother and third brother use this to wipe the house." Thinking that there was not even a thing to hold water at home, she was discouraged, she had everything in her ring, she wanted food and food, and she wanted to eat, but at this time she was still hungry, but she couldn't conjure up food for no reason, that would cause suspicion, it was not that she couldn't trust the brothers of the Li family, it was really more dangerous for one more person to know, and the ancient ring was the last retreat she left for herself.

A few people were standing in the yard, worrying about what to fill with water, when they heard a female voice behind them, "Yo babies, what's the matter, haven't you eaten breakfast yet?" ”

Several people turned around together, and saw the village's daughter-in-law, Aunt Fu, coming in with a lot of things.

Da Lang and Erlang hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and Da Lang was a little reluctant, "Aunt Fu, why did you take these things?" It's too much for me to accept. ”

"What's the matter, I think my aunt's things are broken, and I can't look at it!"

"Auntie, look at what you said, I didn't mean that."

"I know that your kid is a hard-mouthed man, these things are not for you a few stinky boys, they are for little girls. It's nothing if you are hungry for a few meals, so why can't you let a little girl suffer with you. Okay, this is all idle at home, don't push it, take it all first, if you have a good life in the future, remember your aunt's good son. "Aunt Fu knows that if this thing is given to Da Lang, I am afraid that he will not accept it, but if it is said to be for the little girl, this Da Lang will accept it, so I will say it a little screwed.

"My aunt is kind-hearted, and she gave things clearly, and she didn't let us thank you. Then Xiao Wu accepted it. Situ Yan knew that people were polite. She just glanced at it, and saw a wooden barrel, a wooden basin, a stoneware pot, and five catties of black noodles. This look also makes it clear that whoever can save these things in their lives is clearly specially prepared for them. The affection of sending charcoal in the snow, she Situ Yan wrote it down.

"Just you little girl, sweet mouth. It's much stronger than my little sheep, and he helped carry these things, but seeing that it's coming, as soon as he picks up his things, people run away. What a pouting gourd. After talking for a while, Aunt Fu asked if there was anything that needed help, and several people shook their heads again and again, people brought things, and they couldn't even drink saliva, and then let people help them work, then they were too different things.

sent away Aunt Fu, and a few more aunts came to send things, some were a bowl, some were a few vegetables, and some people sent two eggs, anyway, in addition to Li Daniu's family, almost the whole village had come. There aren't many things, but at least a few people can live their lives now.

"Big brother, this thing is complete, at least let's live our lives first, first build a stove with stones on the edge of the courtyard, don't be too big, use this stoneware pot to burn something and eat it first, so that we can work." Situ Yan wanted to get a few people something to eat before entering the mountain.

"Xiao Wu is fine, we are not hungry, let's work first! If Xiao Wu is hungry, here is a cake sent by the third aunt, you eat it first. "Li Erlang has never eaten such an early meal since he can remember, and he has two meals a day. Although I just heard Xiao Wu say that I will eat three meals in the future, I didn't take it seriously, the time has not yet arrived, and I only ate the cake last night, and I am not hungry at this time, I don't think I need to eat it!

"Second brother, you are the time to grow your body, how can you not eat, from today on, our family has three meals a day, and my brothers should eat more, grow fat and taller, so that they can take care of Xiao Wu. And Xiao Wu's cooking is delicious! ”

Li Dalang glanced at his younger brothers, all of them were yellow, hungry and thin, as if a thin gust of wind on their bodies could blow them away, and he felt uncomfortable. It's a big deal that he can do more, and he can't let his younger siblings have enough to eat, so he agreed after thinking about it.

Situ Yan asked Li Erlang to take the bucket to the village to carry water, and then asked San Lang to wash the wooden bucket, clay pot and wild vegetables, Li Dalang has already begun to build a stove on the side of the courtyard wall, Situ Yan took a closer look at the things sent by the villagers, and put them in the main house with Shilang, leaving only four sweet potatoes, looking for no potatoes, and picking out some vegetables, the eggs were not left, and the sweet potatoes could not be eaten together.

Seeing that everything was ready, he took a sweet potato and asked Li Shilang, "Fourth brother, is there anything similar to this sweet potato, which is round and smaller than sweet potato, with a very thin skin and earthy yellow color." Situ Yan gestured as she spoke.

"Yes, but that one is poisonous and can't be eaten, someone in our village ate that three years ago, and the whole family died overnight, but miserable! We all call it a poisonous egg. Li Shilang thought for a while, and felt that Xiao Wu should be asking about poisonous eggs everywhere on the mountain.

Situ Yan listened to it for a while, and after thinking about it, she understood, it must be that the potatoes sprouted, and the people in the village didn't know, so they ate the sprouts together before they were poisoned, and then pressed the joy in their hearts and asked, "Is there a lot of this thing?" ”

"It's a lot, it's everywhere on the mountain, but you can't eat it, and no one digs it."

Situ Yan's heart was happy, with this, they could live much better this winter, but they still had to find a way to persuade the brothers of the Li family to eat this thing. As long as she eats first and is fine, I believe that the brothers will naturally believe it.

With winter food at home, he will not starve to death, and he will not expose the ring, which makes Situ Yan inexplicably feel at ease.

I put this matter down first, didn't mention it again, washed the dishes, and scooped a bowl of black noodles from the noodle bag sent by Aunt Fu. Seeing that Erlang and Sanlang walked back, the eldest brother also picked up firewood and lit the stove at this time.

When she started cooking, Situ Yan didn't let them help. A few people looked at Xiao Wu as if he could cook, so they didn't help anymore, took things and began to clean the house and yard. There were only Situ Yan and Li Dalang left in the courtyard all of a sudden.

Situ Yan poured half of the water into the stoneware pot, and then cut the sweet potato into pieces with the dagger on his body. Li Dalang was shocked at first when he saw that Xiaomei still had a knife hidden on her body, but he didn't ask too much, and after thinking about it, he understood that Xiaomei was found from such a far away alone, and this thing was probably kept for self-defense. I don't care if I think about it.

When the sweet potato soup is boiled, the black noodles are mixed into a batter with water, and a little bit is poured into the jar to make sweet potato gnocchi, and the sweet potato and the gnocchi are eight minutes cooked, so the wild vegetables are torn apart by hand and boiled together, and when the pot is about to be raised, no one pays attention to take out the salt from the ancient ring and put some into it, and the sweet potato and wild vegetable gnocchi soup is done.

After tasting the taste, the soup tastes good, but this black gnocchi Situ Yan is the same as chewing wax, and it is difficult to swallow. She gave her brothers more gnocchi and less sweet potatoes in their bowls, and her own bowls were just sweet potato soup.

Breakfast was done, and then a few people were called to eat.
