"Brother, look, we have meat to eat."

Lin Ruan carried Xiuxiu into the courtyard gate, put her on the ground, and the little girl carried the fish to find Lin Han to offer treasure.

Lin Han still remembered that Lin Ruan had brought him back, his face was long, he glanced at the fish, swallowed his saliva secretly, turned around and went out.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"I'm going to collect firewood, don't run around at home."

Lin Ruan looked at the awkward little fart and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

After drying the clothes, he took out a rusty kitchen knife from the pile of household clothes sent by the patriarch, and carried it to the river to sharpen it.

As soon as he got home and packed up the fish, Lin Han came back with a large bundle of dry firewood, still holding a handful of wild onions in his hand.

The awkward child didn't want to talk to Lin Ruan, so he peeled the wild onion, put it on the stove, and turned around and went into the house to continue sulking.

Lin Ruan didn't care about him, took the wild onion and stuffed it into the fish's belly, and went to prepare the rack for grilling fish.

While she was busy, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl appeared in front of the courtyard gate.

"Ah Ruan, Xiuxiu, busy."

"Sister Lian'er!" When Xiuxiu saw the girl, she smiled and pounced.

This girl is Aunt Zhou's daughter, Zhou Lian'er.

Zhou Lian'er smiled and took Xiuxiu's hand and walked into the courtyard, "Ah Ruan, my mother asked me to bring you some salt." ”

As he spoke, he handed Lin Ruan a coarse porcelain bowl in his hand, which contained a small half bowl of coarse salt.

Lin Ruan was also not polite, and reached out to take it. Anyway, they already owe so much favor to the Zhou family, and this small half bowl of salt is nothing.

"If you are really sleepy, someone will send a pillow, Sister Lian'er, stay here to eat at noon, I caught a fish in the river and prepared to roast it."

Only then did Zhou Lian'er notice that there was a fish on the shelf behind Lin Ruan.

"Is there such a big fish in the river in front of the door?"

Lin Ruan nodded without changing his face: "Yes, and it's still a crucian carp." ”

Zhou Lian'er was even more surprised, she had never seen such a big crucian carp, and the common crucian carp was the size of a palm at most.

But surprise to surprise, Zhou Lian'er still didn't stay to eat fish, no matter how Xiuxiu kept it, she still insisted on going back to her home.

When Lin Han came out, the little adult generally raised his head and said: "Uncle Zhou's family takes care of us, we must keep it in mind, and if we have the ability in the future, we must repay them well." ”

Lin Ruan didn't bother to pay attention to him, pinched a little salt and sprinkled it on the fish, and began to make a fire to grill the fish.

Lin Han saw that she ignored herself, and entered the house with an awkward hum.

Xiuxiu tilted her head and asked Lin Ruan, "Sister, what's wrong with my brother?" You've taken him to play games, why isn't he happy? ”

Lin Ruan almost laughed out loud, and hurriedly held back, "Maybe I haven't played enough, and when I go back, Sister Ah will take him to play again, and he will be happy." ”

"Can you take me with you? I want to play too. ”

"Yes."

Xiuxiu got the answer she wanted, and grinned happily.

The smell of fish meat gradually wafted through the courtyard, and Xiuxiu swallowed desperately.

"Sister, are you alright?"

Lin Ruan was pasting coarse grain cakes in the pot, and turned his head to look at the fish, "It's almost good, wait a little longer." ”

When the cake was pasted, the fish was also grilled to a golden brown on both sides, and the aroma was overflowing, not to mention Xiuxiu, even Lin Ruan himself couldn't help it.

This body is really lacking in nutrients, not to mention eating good things, even a full meal is extremely rare, and now smelling the fragrance of this fish, the gluttonous worms in the stomach are about to run out.

There was no table, so Lin Ruan brought the cakes and fish to the big stone in the courtyard, and then shouted into the house.

"It's time to eat."

Lin Han was still angry, and he wanted to say that he wouldn't eat it, but in the end he came out grinding.

Lin Ruan didn't wait for him, divided the fish into three parts, ate the head himself, gave the belly to Xiuxiu, and left the tail of the fish on the plate.

I don't know if it's because I'm hungry or because of my ability, Lin Ruan thinks this fish is so delicious.

It was those coarse grain cakes that made Lin Ruan very disgusted.

This thing is so stinging.

But she didn't waste food, in the last few years of life, in the most difficult time, she even gnawed the bark and grass roots, so she cherished food very much, no matter how bad it was, it would never be wasted.

After eating a meal, Xiuxiu happily covered her stomach and smiled.

"Sister, the fish is so delicious."

Lin Ruan smiled and wiped the food residue on her face, "After it's delicious, Sister will catch fish for you every day." ”

Xiuxiu was just about to nod, but Lin said coldly: "Are you waiting for you to catch the fish in the river?" ”

Lin Ruan didn't bother to pay attention to him, took Xiuxiu's hand and went into the house to take a nap, and threw down a sentence: "Wash the pot and bowl." ”

Lin Han: ......

Lin Ruan slept for a while, and when he woke up, he saw that Xiuxiu and Lin Han were sleeping soundly, so he went out lightly, pinned the kitchen knife to his waist, and went to the mountain.

Funiu Mountain is not too high, and there are often people in the mountain, so there is nothing valuable, and you have to turn over to the other side of the mountain to have a harvest.

The original owner also often went into the mountain, so Lin Ruan had a general impression of the terrain in this mountain, and he didn't stop all the way to the top of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Lin Ruan knew how tall the Shenwu Mountain behind him was, and it was several times higher than the Funiu Mountain.

From the mountainside, a thick fog shrouded you, and only a faint silhouette could be seen.

There are absolutely countless good things in this mountain, but at the same time, there will be many deadly dangers.

For Lin Ruan, who has been wandering in the last days for a few years, these are nothing.

No matter how dangerous it is, can there still be zombies and mutant beasts? In the last few years, she was able to live peacefully for several years with just two fists, and now that she has the ability, it is not worth mentioning to enter this Shenwu Mountain.

From the top of the mountain, go down to Shenwu Mountain, the closer to the foot of the mountain, the more inaccessible the people. The weeds in the mountains and forests are much more lush than on that side.

There are naturally more snakes, insects, rats and ants on the ground.

Lin Ruan didn't pay attention to these things at all, and when he saw them, he stepped on them directly.

As soon as she reached the bottom of the mountain, she saw several hares running past her.

Can anything she see run away?

After a while, all the hares were tied to their legs, and the rabbits hung unconsciously.

Continue to move forward, and soon arrive at the foot of Shenwu Mountain.

The bottom of the mountain is no different from a normal mountain, except that the weeds are too overgrown, but you can occasionally see half of the footprints of a person. Probably left behind by some brave hunters while hunting.

Lin Ruan plunged into the mountains, and before he had gone far, he saw a very luxuriant wild vine in front of him, and there were many fruits hanging on it that had not yet grown and ripened.

It's only July, a month before the grapes are ripe, and with the low temperature in the mountains, it looks like it will take at least a month and a half for these wild grapes to grow.

None of this was a problem for Lin Ruan, who imagined in his mind the whole vine full of clusters of large, round purple fruits.
