"It's bitter herbs." Gu Jinli and the four of them were very happy, and Luo Huiniang was even more precious to protect the bundle of bitter vegetables.

Bitter herbs are one of the most common wild herbs and grow all year round, but now that it is mid-October, it is another famine year, and they can still find wild herbs, which proves that the situation is improving.

As they continued to wander around the mountain, they saw a few scattered wild plants, but they had been killed by the frost, and only rotten leaves and dead stems remained, and they could not be eaten.

Tian Xiaohua was very pity, looked at the rotten wild vegetables and said: "If we come half a month earlier, we must have a lot of wild vegetables to dig up, so we don't have to spend money to buy food." ”

Her family is very poor, her father and mother don't have much money on them, and the whole family is distressed to spend a copper plate.

Luo Huiniang was naturally optimistic, and after hearing Tian Xiaohua's words, she said: "We have good luck today, if we look for it again, we should be able to find other things to eat." ”

Tian Xiaohua nodded heavily, her head kept low, looking for wild vegetables, her serious little appearance, almost staring at a hole in the ground.

Gu Jinan looked around, watching out for the victims who went into the mountains to find food, and on the other hand, he looked to see if there were any wild fruits on the dead trees.

Gu Jinli was lucky, he found more than a dozen rehmannia plants with rotten leaves but intact roots, rehmannia is not a medicinal material for treating wind and cold, but it can be sold for money.

There will always be a day when they settle down, and they need money to settle down, and she is saving these medicinal materials now, which is equivalent to saving money, which can be used in the future.

Luo Huiniang saw that Gu Jinli had dug up some strange things again, and she didn't say anything anymore, she had long been used to it.

The group of four stayed in the mountain for most of the hour, and when they saw that it was getting dark, they stopped looking for food, and began to go out of the mountain, trotting to the resting place at the foot of the mountain.

On the way, I met a lot of victims who came back from looking for food, and everyone had something to eat in their hands, and it seemed that the mountain was quite rich.

When she was about to return to the resting place at the foot of the mountain, Luo Huiniang ran too fast and almost hit a woman, but fortunately, she had good work under her feet and stopped in time, so she didn't hit anyone.

But the woman suddenly fell to the ground, hugged her left foot, and cried out, "Ah, my feet! Why don't you look at people when you walk, you hit my foot, you have to pay ......for it" After the woman saw Gu Jinli, her throat seemed to be choked, and she immediately lost her voice.

She got up from the ground neatly and complained dissatisfiedly to Luo Huiniang: "Be careful when you walk in the future, it's good to bump into me, if you bump into the wicked, you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

After saying that, he turned his head and left.

Gu Jinli stared at the back of the woman with unkind eyes, it was the woman who was broken, and she also came here.

Gu Jinan also recognized the woman, clenched the firewood knife in his hand, and said, "It's her, the woman who broke the appearance with the man holding the child to ask for medicine when the temple was broken." ”

Luo Huiniang was stunned by the woman's series of movements, and when she heard Gu Jin'an's words, she reacted, and hurriedly looked at the woman who had already walked away, her eyesight was good, and after a while, she pointed ahead and shouted, "There is still that child!" ”

Xu was too loud, and the child immediately looked at her, with a pair of eyes that were very gloomy, and glared at Luo Huiniang viciously.

Luo Huiniang was frightened, and after a short period of fright, she was angry. A few days ago, when the temple was broken, she still sympathized with this woman, and felt that their family was very pitiful, but now it seems that this family is a bad embryo, and there is no good person.

Gu Jinli frowned, the child was only five or six years old, he was very quiet when the temple was broken, and he looked sick and weak, but now he can look at people with such a cruel gaze, obviously he is not a good person.

The woman, knowing that they were watching her, did not look back, and dragged the child away.

Gu Jinli didn't catch up, and he would chase after him if he was stupid. This woman and child appeared here, and her man's accomplices and Wu Da must also be there, and something will happen if they catch up.

"Let's go." Gu Jinli carried the herbs he found and took the lead in walking towards the resting place of several of them.

Not long after the four of them came back, Father Luo, Gu Dashan, and Gu Dafu also came back looking for food.

Everyone's luck today is good, Luo's father and his party found more than 30 wild sweet potatoes.

The three members of the Qin family found a nest of hibernating snakes, a total of eight, some large and some small, the big ones were two fingers wide, and the small ones were the thickness of the little fingers. They were afraid of scaring the women and children of several families, so they had already stripped the head of the snake, leaving only the white and bloody snake flesh.

Several families were very happy to see these things.

Chu Shi took the half bag of sweet potatoes handed by Luo's father and smiled happily: "This sweet potato is really a lot." ”

asked the third grandmother again: "Third aunt, let's eat baked sweet potatoes tonight." ”

The third grandmother nodded: "Okay, just eat baked sweet potatoes, let's roast these sweet potatoes and eat them happily." ”

The Chen family had already snatched the snake meat from Qin Sanlang's hands, and when she heard the words of the third grandmother, she hurriedly stuffed the snake meat to Gu Dewang, ran to Chu's side, dragged the sack containing the sweet potatoes, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Luo, you go and make a fire, and I will shake the mud and sand off the sweet potatoes." ”

Without waiting for Chu to speak, he had already dragged the sack and called out to his two sons to leave. As soon as he turned his back, he reached out and took four sweet potatoes from the sack and stuffed them into his two sons.

The third grandmother's face is very ugly, this Chen family is really greedy for everything, but seeing Gu Dewang and Gu Defa who are hungry and thin, the third grandmother did not scold Chen after all.

She pulled the Chu family, took the wild vegetables handed by Luo Huiniang, and said, "Let's go, let's make a wild vegetable soup." ”

That night, several families of more than 30 people, each of whom received a roasted sweet potato, as well as a small half bowl of wild vegetables and snake broth, which was the most sumptuous meal they had eaten since they fled the famine, except for the one they had eaten in the Qifu camp.

After eating, Gu Jinli told everyone about the woman he met on the road: "That woman is not simple, she is in a group with Wu Da, and several of Wu Da's accomplices must be at the foot of this mountain, we have to be careful." ”

Several families were shocked when they heard her words, and the women turned white with fright.

Chen hurriedly looked around with his eyes, and after not seeing the woman, he patted his heart and said to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, you shouldn't offend them, now it's okay, they will definitely find a chance to retaliate against us." ”

Gu Jinli hehe, shook the dagger in his hand, and said: "Aunt Gui, they have seen my ruthlessness and don't dare to trouble me, but it's hard for you to say, they see that you don't have a knife in your hand, and you look thin and weak, they will probably attack you." ”

So you'd better be nice to me, or I won't save you when you're robbed.

Chen saw the knife in Gu Jinli's hand, and thought of Gu Jinli's provocation of Wu Da's tendons, so he shrank back in fright and stopped talking.

Gu Dagui was so angry with the Chen family that he lost his temper, this mother-in-law is always like this, she has to suffer losses to be honest.

"Don't worry, those people don't dare to touch us easily." Qin Lao said: "However, those people are not good at stubble, so let's be careful." ”

Qin Lao looked at Qin Sanlang and said to him, "San Lang, you go around the neighborhood and see where they settle." ”

Qin Saburo nodded and plunged into the night.
