Chapter 594: Digging Wild Vegetables

When Xiao Chumo and Shen Bingfeng rushed to the granary, the fire had been extinguished under the command of Yu Panxi, but the fire caused heavy losses in the barracks, and almost all the grain and grass were destroyed.

"The traitor sent someone to do it again?" Xiao Chumo's eagle eyes narrowed, looking at the mess in front of him, and his heart was not a taste.

You must know that grain and grass are the most basic supplies for an army, and if all soldiers want to have the strength to face the battle, they must have a full stomach.

"The only way to do this is to solve the matter of grain and grass first." Yu Panxi said.

After all, you can't let a group of hungry soldiers fight against Chiaki's well-trained and energetic men, so that the outcome can be predicted immediately even if there is no need to fight.

Xiao Chumo also felt that Yu Panxi's proposal was very reasonable, but it was vetoed by Shen Bingfeng, he frowned, sighed and muttered: "I'm afraid it's difficult, all the grain and grass that can be collected nearby are here, do you want to fill the stomachs of the soldiers, and forcibly take the only little rations left by those poor people?" ”

It turned out that the reason why Shen Bingfeng chose to set up camp here was because of the steep terrain here, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and on the other hand, there were fewer people living there.

Of course, Xiao Chumo and Yu Panxi are not willing to harass the people, but if they don't solve the problem of food and grass quickly, these soldiers will be hungry and give Qianqiu an opportunity to take advantage of, which is also the biggest difficulty they face at this time.

"There's another plan." Yu Panxi looked at Xiao Chumo, frowned, and said, "Even if it is difficult to fill the hungry belly, if you work harder, you can barely satisfy your stomach." ”

"What's the plan?" Xiao Chumo knew that Yu Panxi had always had a lot of clever plans, and the dilemma they were facing at the moment was probably only a dead horse as a live horse......

On the same day, under the command of Xiao Chumo, except for the soldiers who stayed in the barracks in case of accidents, the rest of the soldiers were divided into two routes, one was under the leadership of Xiao Chumo, rescuing the little grain and grass left, and the other was following Yu Panxi to dig wild vegetables in the nearby mountains.

But Yu Panxi has only eaten wild vegetables, but he never knows what kind of style and state it is when it grows on the ground? And the soldiers are even more so, they are used to fighting on the battlefield, and when they are suddenly sent to dig vegetables in the mountains, they are naturally confused.

But at this moment, Yu Panxi vaguely saw not far away, a slender woman, holding up a pregnant belly with Liujia, obviously weak, but still supporting her body, and hurried over as quickly as possible.

When Liu Man'er walked in front of Yu Panxi panting with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, she smiled, looking at Yu Panxi staring at a weed in her hand and pondering, she couldn't help laughing: "That weed can also be eaten, but the taste is dry, I'm afraid it's hard to swallow, even if there are more sugar grains, I'm afraid it's difficult to hide its own taste." ”

Seeing Liu Man'er patiently explaining the taste of this weed, Yu Panxi suddenly realized, but at the same time, she also learned one thing, "Miss Liu, do you know the wild vegetables here?" ”

"I can't say that I have eaten all of them, but the vast majority of them have been picked when I was hungry when I was a child." Referring to the hard years she spent before, Liu Man'er's eyelids revealed a touch of far-fetched helplessness, after all, if you can choose your background, who wants to be born in such a poor mountain village, and finally be sold into the Qinglou by the so-called relatives?

However, Yu Panxi didn't mind Liu Man'er, who was from a humble background, looking at her, Yu Panxi could always think of the poor woman who had a similar experience to her, but had just been redeemed by her from the Qinglou, but was lost, Cheng Yuanlian, in this era of war and chaos, there has never been any news about her, and I don't know who she was taken away, what is the situation now?

"Miss Liu, the task of teaching me to identify wild plants will be entrusted to you, but does your body really allow you to walk around the mountains like this?" Yu Panxi seemed to be a little worried.

"I'm not afraid of getting tired." It seems that Yu Panxi's affirmation is enough to make Liu Man'er ignore the tiredness, she immediately covered her lower abdomen, knelt in front of Yu Panxi, and patiently taught her to know these strange-shaped wild vegetables, under the light of the gentle sun, Yu Panxi seemed to feel that Liu Man'er's cheeks were glowing at this time, probably this is the light that a kind person should have, right?

Yu Panxi soon mastered the ability to identify the most basic wild vegetables, and shared them with other people to know, and then passed ten, ten to hundred, and the soldiers who were responsible for going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables were able to skillfully put the edible wild vegetables in the back basket.

At this time, Liu Man'er knelt on the ground for more than an hour, which was very hard for a pregnant woman with a high belly, Yu Panxi helped her up, sat on a clean boulder, and said: "Thank you Miss Liu for helping, now we can basically know wild vegetables, the mountain is cold, Miss Liu might as well go back and rest first." ”

"Can I refuse?" Who knows, for Yu Panxi's kind reminder, Liu Man'er was not very reluctant, and asked cautiously, as if she was afraid that she would accidentally make Yu Panxi angry.

Her cowardly appearance made Yu Panxi wonder if this was due to Liu Man'er's commitment to Qinglou for many years, and she had to grovel to everyone, willing to hide her unhappiness, and seemed to be smiling?

Thinking of this, Yu Panxi decided not to urge Liu Man'er to leave, but let her make her own decision, she nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "Of course you can." ”

Hearing this, Liu Man'er's face showed a relieved smile, she bit her lip lightly, looked at Yu Panxi, and muttered:

"I know that this idea of mine may be ridiculous, after all, I am humble and unworthy, but since I woke up, from the first time I saw the princess, I have a feeling of familiarity with you at first sight, princess, you are approachable, never put on a show, and you look so beautiful, I really like to chat with you."

But having said that, Liu Man'er suddenly lowered her head again, looking hesitant, and a flush appeared on her pale cheeks, which was a shy look.

Yu Panxi frowned, and while digging wild vegetables nearby, she asked, "Miss Liu, why don't you continue?" ”

"Because I don't seem to be worthy to talk to you like this, princess, after all, my background is ......" As she spoke, Liu Man'er's head hung lower, and it could be seen that she actually had a full stomach to say, but due to the huge difference in status, I don't know if I should say it?
