"Huh? Okay, then you can rest for a while. Old man Li was about to get out of the shack, but after all, he was a little unwilling, and turned around and said, "Why don't you count how much more grain you have harvested today?" ”

"Well, I don't need to count, I know it in my heart." Li Zhi took the water handed over by Mrs. Li, and said after drinking a few sips.

"That's about 40 percent more than in previous days." Li Zhi wiped his mouth with his hand.

"That's so much?" Old man Li was overjoyed, and he was so happy that his eyes couldn't see.

"Well, this is to be harvested in advance, those people can no longer say that they have eaten all, there is no food left, even if it is grass, I want it, and this amount will come up." Li Zhi nodded.

"Grass? Why do you need grass? Mrs. Li was puzzled, "I can't find this grass, and I still want it from them?" ”

"Don't have grass, people will think that we are picky, even if there is still food, people will be tempted to tell us that there is no food, only weeds left, then we can harvest less and less." Li Zhi patiently explained.

"That's... How much of this weed does it take? Old man Li asked, there was not as much food as he thought.

"Weeds account for about half of the extra forty percent." Li Zhi replied.

"It's... So much grass! Old man Li's voice suddenly became louder.

"Could it be that sooner or later we all have to eat grass?" Mrs. Li also said worriedly, "This thing doesn't matter if it's full, no matter how hungry it is." ”

"Could it be that some families deliberately take grass when they have food?" Old man Li asked.

"There may be one or two, and I'm not sure if I can eat them." Li Zhi replied hesitantly, "After all, it has been out for so many days, and even if these two families have food, there is not much left, and the food shortage is only a matter of the next two days, and it will not affect the overall situation." ”

"Okay, Dad, why is this more than the other day, this is not happy, but worried?" Li Zhi didn't want to say any more, "Didn't we set a strategy before?" Acting by the meter is. ”

In the next few days, it was still calm.

The Li family moved the time of grain collection from after the meal to before the meal, and there was no objection from each family.

On the road, everyone still starts in the early morning, rests at noon, and rests after walking for a while in the afternoon.

And so it went on for another five or six days.

In the evening of that day, when they had rested, Da Zhu and Xiao Jie didn't bother to build a shack, and one of them ran towards the water source they had just found with two empty buckets, and each of them took a hoe along the way.

When I saw that the Li family and several other men were digging around a small pit, it seemed that the pit was small and the water was less, and the pit had to be dug bigger and deeper, and I had to wait for a while, Xiaojie handed a bucket and hoe to Dazhu, and he carried an empty bucket and turned around and ran towards the shack.

The shack has been built, Xiaojie saw that his mother was busy cleaning up, and he was very impressed, so his mother and Zhiwen took three little girls, and they were able to build the shack so quickly, Zhiwen and they all went to pick wild vegetables, practice makes perfect.

"What are you doing? Don't help yet! Xiao Yingniang said without raising her head.

Xiao Jie saw that there was no one left and right, stuffed the bucket into the shack, and helped his mother to get busy.

When Zhiwen took the three of them back to the shack, Xiao Jie had already helped his mother set up the simple stove, which was regarded as showing his face, and he went to fetch water with a bucket.

Entering the shack, Zhiwen began to clean the wild vegetables, that is, to wash the yams and alfalfa that he wanted to take to the Li family with water, but he didn't find any other wild vegetables today, so he didn't need to wash them at all.

"Busy, Aunt Song." Li Zhi said hello outside.

Hey! That's a bit of a pinch.

"Here, he Uncle Li." Xiao Yingniang handed over the yam and alfalfa that Zhiwen had just washed and handed to her.

"Thank you, Aunt Song." Li Zhi took it casually, "If you want to talk about your family, the ability to find wild vegetables is really this." After saying that, he cocked his right thumb.

"Uh, hehe, this..." Xiao Yingniang laughed dryly, didn't know how to answer, wanted to look down at Zhiwen, but felt that it was inappropriate, and froze there for a while.

"My father is a medicine collector," Zhiwen answered in time, "I followed him up the mountain to collect medicine when I was a child, and yam is a good medicine." ”

Zhiwen They have a total of seven adults and children, and four families, but everyone else on the way to escape treats them as a family, and they themselves feel that there is no need to explain, so they can be regarded as acquiescing, and it is nothing to arrange a father who can collect medicine.

"Ahh No wonder, that's a family history. Li Zhiwen said crepe and smiled again.

"Aunt Song, today's grain... It's not enough. ”

"Huh?! Aren't there so many in the past? Xiao Yingniang didn't understand what he meant.

"Look, Aunt Song, this water has become more and more difficult to find in the past two days, and it is not easy to find it, and this water is not enough, in order for everyone to use the water, our family has to dig down, and the strength is much more than before." Li Zhi explained one by one.

Xiao Yingniang doesn't like to hear this, it's not just your family who is digging the pit, everyone is helping, Dazhu and Xiaojie also took the hoe just now, and they haven't come back yet.

Zhiwen suddenly realized that the Li family is boiling frogs in warm water, and this trick is a bit clever.

First of all, the time to collect food at the door is advanced, but the things collected do not increase, just to test everyone's attitude, and this before the meal should be a lot more than after the meal, some people really can't have anything left after the meal, but before the meal, you can't say no, right?

If you don't object, let it be collected like this for a while, and after everyone gets used to it, find an excuse like today to collect more food, and the resistance will be much smaller.

However, Zhiwen doesn't plan to give more, the other party is testing his bottom line step by step, if you take a step back, he can go further, until you are forced to retreat, if you don't resist, you will only be knocked out of the bone and squeezed clean.

grabbed Xiao Yingniang, who was about to step forward and reason with Li Zhi, shook her head slightly, turned around and went into the shack, and the moment she put on the basket, she collected several yams into the warehouse, soaked them in the bucket of water next to her a few times, and then walked generously in front of Li Zhi.

"Uncle Li, look, I've found so many today." Zhiwen held the basket in front of Li Zhi, and there were only two yams left in it, none of which were given to Li Zhi, and there were more alfalfa.

"The food has long been cut off, and we plan to break up the grass and mix it in to make bread to eat." Zhiwen deliberately said pitifully, "If you don't dislike it, then... Take this on. ”

After speaking, he gritted his teeth and handed over a handful of grass.

He wants to test the family's bottom line, does he like to use violence to solve problems, or is there a trick waiting for him?

Li Zhi calmly took the grass and said with a smile: "Then thank you, Xiaozhi." ”

"Wait, Uncle Li." Zhiwen suddenly shouted to Li Zhi, who had already turned to leave.

I saw that he looked embarrassed and reluctant, but he only hesitated slightly, and handed over a handful of alfalfa, "Uncle Li, it's not easy for you, this one should be tender, let's give it to you." ”

Zhiwen can be regarded as a slight concession, if the other party can give up because of this alfalfa, it is not too greedy, and he can maintain a superficial friendship with them, if he refuses to give up, then what kind of tricks and bad moves, Zhiwen will continue.

Li Zhi did not refuse, took the alfalfa and walked straight away.
