Tian Taohua and Li Danian handed over the arrows they had obtained to the lieutenant chief, who immediately called Wu Laoer, handed over the arrows to Wu Laoer, and told him to keep them, because he was the captain of the village protection team, and everyone was relieved to hand them over to him for safekeeping.

Tian Taohua happily returned home, and saw her mother Tian standing by the pigsty with a sad brow, looking at the little white pig in the pigsty.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Tian Taohua came to Tian and asked.

"What did you do, you and Danian found the arrow?" Tian asked about her instead.

Tian Taohua looked at Tian's thin yellow muscles, and said with some distress: "Mom, seeing that I have been gone for a few days, you have lost a lot of weight?" ”

"Let's go home." Tian dragged his daughter back to the cave.

Tian Taohua took out the roast chicken and a few steamed buns from her bag and gave them to her mother, "This is what we earned, Mom, eat it quickly." ”

Tian looked at the white steamed buns, smelled the aroma of roast chicken, tears welled up in his eyes, Tian has eaten white flour steamed buns and roast chicken since she can remember, that is, it can only be seen during the New Year, it is usually difficult to see, and it is needless to say that in this green and yellow season.

She felt that this girl was more promising than before, she knew everything, she could do anything, and she could succeed, unlike before, she only knew how to work hard, and she was buried in her heart when she suffered, and she was completely changed as a person, is it really possessed by the snake god? Tian felt uncomfortable for a while, and tears fell like beads with broken threads.

Tian Taohua wiped Tian's tears and said to her mother: "Mom, don't cry, our life will be fine." ”

"Don't cry, I'm happy, our family is protected by the snake god, and it will be fine." Tian wiped away the tears with his hands.

Tian Taohua listened, but she was thinking in her heart: I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I just crossed over and ran into some Lord Yama, and that was what he asked me for, so I agreed. With me, you must not be allowed to starve. I can only do my best to protect the villagers from outsiders and ensure that my family does not go hungry.

Tian wiped away his tears and said to Tian Taohua: "The difficulty we are facing in front of us is that our family is broken. ”

"No, this family is too poor, and I haven't prepared it yet......" Tian Taohua thought about countermeasures.

"Your brother got married last month, and he used up all the food in the house, and we broke off."

"How much food is needed to get us through?" Tian Taohua needs to understand more detailed.

"At least a month's worth of rations." Tian's eyes stared at Tian Taohua, and muttered, "This daughter is really capable, can this broken ration also be replenished?" Tian's eyes were shining.

"Let me think about it." Tian Taohua said and calculated carefully, "The whole family of five, each person is a day and a half catties, which adds up to seven and a half catties a day, and for two months, it is four hundred and fifty catties, and five hundred catties of grain is rich and surplus." After calculating, she thought that this matter could only be handed over to Xiao Tao to do, and others could not do it. Tell him to find a few rich landlords, and one family will get some of it, and then he will do it.

Tian Taohua was happy in her heart. Her mother looked out the window and saw her brother and sister-in-law out of the yard. immediately carried a basket and said to Tian Taohua: "Your brother and your sister-in-law are gone, let's hurry up and take this opportunity to go out to ask for food, otherwise we will be hungry tomorrow." ”

"Mom, no, you haven't eaten a bite of what I brought, how can you ask for food, can you walk on an empty stomach!" Tian Taohua pulled Tian to the kang table, asked Tian to sit on the kang, tore off a chicken leg and gave it to her, and said to Tian: "We have the strength to ask for food when we are full." ”

Tian Taohua pulled a chicken neck and gnawed on it, and took a steamed bun for Tian's family, telling Tian to eat that she only ate half a steamed bun and a chicken neck. The stomach was also seventy percent full, and I ran to the water tank again, poured a breath of cold water, and my stomach was full all of a sudden. It seems that drinking water is also the best way to solve hunger.

Tian Taohua burped back to the cave, looked at the extra half of the steamed buns in the paper bag, and when she saw Tian, she was wiping her mouth with her hands. Obviously, the half of the steamed bun was broken by Tian.

Tian Taohua's heart swelled up with waves, being a mother is great, and she would rather be hungry than save it for others.

With tears in her eyes, she said secretly: "This is only temporary, and it won't take two or three days for this problem to be solved." Tian also poured some cold water in front of the kitchen water tank, and also opened the burp. Tian Taohua smiled, carried the basket and went to beg for food with Tian.
