Chapter 9: Dig up the roots.
"What if you know?" Liu Ziyi turned to the water tank and scooped a scoop of water from the tank to drink.
Yu Guiping was a little surprised when she saw her husband admitting, "Why did you steal Lin Wan'er's rabbit meat?" Didn't you always ...... to that woman after seeing Lin Wan'er a few years ago?"
"You know what?" Liu Ziyi glared at Yu Guiping.
"I don't understand." Yu Guiping was accustomed to Liu Ziyi's cold words and cold eyes on her, and suddenly thought of something, and let out a long sigh, "Liu Ziyi, you stole Lin Wan'er's rabbit meat because you wanted her family to not have enough to eat, so you can help her and make her have a good impression of you, right?" ”
"Stupid woman!" Liu Ziyi didn't want to talk to Yu Guiping, so he went directly from the courtyard wall of the kitchen and walked over the wall with one hand.
Yu Guiping saw that her husband didn't say anything, and she was even more sure of her thoughts.
"Okay, you Lin Wan'er, relying on your good looks, you want to hook up with my husband, let my husband rack his brains to be good to you, and see how I clean you up in the future."
Liu Ziyi walked away for a while, but Yu Guiping was still not at ease, this man would come back with such a little prey today, don't you hide something outside again, and send it to the cheap woman behind her back.
Lin Wan'er made her lose such a big face in front of Feng Lao today, if her man still gave her something, she would definitely want her to look good.
The more he thought about it, the more angry Yu Guiping became, as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Lin Wan'er leading the fool and her three sons into the mountain, Yu Guiping slammed the door shut, and scolded: "Lin Wan'er, dead slut, one day I will find you to settle the old and new accounts." ”
On the second day after An Ran wore here, although she had accepted Lin Wan'er's identity, she was very worried, and she didn't worry about anything else, just worried about the family's food and drink.
When the original owner was in the Wei family before, although the life was not rich, but at least the family had land and land, the mother-in-law was capable, his father taught in the village, and from time to time he also helped her and the children, and it was no problem for the family to fill their stomachs, but now, the court placed them in this deep mountain, and sent a bag of rice grain and dozens of dollars a month, and there were many people in their family, and often there were ten days, and the rice grain was eaten, and the rest of the food could only be solved by themselves, what kind of life is this?
There are still more than ten days before the next month's payment, and when the court can't wait for the day when the court will send the food, what An Ran is counting on is Wei Lin's mother, and her mother-in-law will come early.
After the original owner found out all the living conditions here, he asked someone to send a letter to his mother-in-law, in addition to the necessary things, there are all kinds of rapeseed in the hometown must be brought, and the dozens of dollars they receive every month can not afford anything except to buy some oil and salt.
Sometimes the original owner and the children can't get food, so they can only boil a pot of water, dig up some edible roots, put some oil, put some salt, and drink the soup, but when the children are growing up, where is there enough food for this point? After coming here for three months, the three children who were originally white and chubby have now lost a lot of weight, and I don't know if my mother-in-law is here, and I will feel distressed when I see my precious grandchildren lose weight like this?
But what can be done?
Before her mother-in-law came, An Ran could only live with her stupid husband and three children, and she couldn't go hungry like this.
Damn, it's quite interesting for her to live safely, she doesn't have to eat when she doesn't get fat, and she shouts every day to lose weight and go on a diet when she has to eat.
That's how she feels the most right now.
Look at this small body, it's almost skinny, when she is in modern times, God knows how difficult it is to lose weight like this? She couldn't keep her mouth shut, she had food everywhere, and she didn't worry about money anyway.
Now that she is worried about eating like this, An Ran is really not used to it.
Entering the mountain, An Ran could only take the children to look for hares and pheasants in the periphery to make rations, and then go deep into the mountains, where there were tigers and some large carnivores, even if the martial arts were strong, they could barely cope with a large animal, if they were a group, they could only become a good meal under the mouths of those carnivores, so An Ran did not dare to take risks.
The small animals in the outer mountains are almost caught by the villagers, and sometimes it is completely by luck to catch a rabbit or pheasant or something.
The third child ordered several rabbit nests, but did not catch a rabbit, and seeing that the sun was about to go down, the third child said: "It's over, I'm hungry again." ”
"Dig up the roots." Old David sighed and said.
"That's all there is to it." The second son, Wei Zhou, began to look for edible tree roots.
An Ran is also looking for it, and she is looking for which tree roots can be eaten and which ones cannot be eaten in the mountains with the memory of the original owner.
The weather in early winter is particularly cold, and people need a lot of fat protein to survive in an extremely cold environment, otherwise they can't resist the cold, and it is normal to be frozen to death.
In another month and a half, the weather here will be so cold that it will turn water into ice, and Anran will take the children to find food, and let the stupid guards go to chop wood.
Although Wei Lin people are stupid, but the strength is there, cutting a few bundles of firewood is not a problem, surviving this winter their family needs a lot of firewood to keep warm, the firewood at home must be prepared, fortunately, Wei Lin is not short of arms and legs, except for people who are stupid, the strength is not ambiguous at all.
The four of them dug up almost half a basket of tree roots, and when they saw that it was not too early, An Ran said to the children, "Let's go back." ”
It's useless to dig too many roots, and the roots that have just been dug up can still be chewed when cooked, and if you leave it for a day, you will be old and you can't eat it at all.
Therefore, these edible roots can only be dug up and eaten.
"Your family eats tree roots again?" An Ran was startled by the voice that came out of the cold.
"Who?" An Ran turned around and saw a tall, dark-skinned man with a beard standing awkwardly by a big tree, staring at the basket in her hand.
"Mother, he is Uncle Yan in the village." Old David reminded him of his mother's words.
An Ran blinked her eyes, and at this moment she didn't have time to search for the memory of the original owner, and when she saw that the boss reminded her, she woke up like a dream, "It's Uncle Yan, yes, our family didn't catch anything today, so we ate the roots." ”
Uncle Yan threw a pheasant at An Ran, "Three children need nutrition, this chicken is for you." ”
After saying that, he limped away, and An Ran didn't have time to say thank you, but Wei Guo caught up and bowed to Uncle Yan to express his gratitude.
"Mother, we have chicken to eat today." The old three acropolis hugged the chicken happily and was happy.
An Ran looked at the direction where Uncle Yan left, and said in his heart: This person is really a good person with a cold face and a warm heart, and he must repay him well if he has the opportunity.
When I got home, I washed the roots of the tree that I dug up, and stewed a whole pot with the chicken, and lived here, there was no meal, today was lucky, I met Uncle Yan and gave a chicken, and tomorrow if their family can't catch a hare and pheasant, at least this pot of chicken soup can also top a top.
After the chicken was stewed, An Ran was a little worried again, a chicken only has two chicken legs, and there are three children in the family, how to divide it?
