Ning Xue'er was furious, and the system was speechless, "Host, the yam grows underground, and what you see is the yam vine." ”

Ning Xue'er: ".............."

For the underground yams, Ning Xue'er really had no choice. She came out today to collect firewood, and she didn't bring anything with her except a basket. If she wants to cut the yam by hand, it is absolutely impossible.

So, Ning Xue'er quietly asked the system: "Can this place be marked?" I'll dig it later. ”

System: "Of course, but it costs 50 points a month to activate the map navigation function." ”

Fifty points!!! Ning Xue'er is about to jump, God knows how hard she memorizes for points every day. Besides, points can be exchanged for things, which is equivalent to money in the real world, so no matter how many points there are, Ning Xue'er is a treasure.

For Ning Xue'er's careful thinking, the system is naturally well understood. It turned over and sold a moe, "Host, it is most appropriate for you to open the map navigation function at this time, first, you can use it to find yams, and secondly, you will definitely not get lost when you wander around the mountains." ”

Ning Xue'er weighed it and gritted her teeth. No way, after all, the system makes sense.

After that, Ning Xue'er swaggered around the mountains for a long time. Everywhere you go, the system will alert: host, hawthorn found; host, where grapes are found; host, yam found; host, found chestnut ..............

Ning Xue'er instructed the system to mark as she walked around.

The sun gradually set in the west, and Ning Xue'er saw that it was not early, so she picked up some firewood before returning home from the mountain.

When she got home, she put the firewood into the kitchen and washed her hands, and Ning Xueer began to make a fire to cook porridge.

There are still cakes in the morning, a little sauerkraut at home, and a bowl of hot rice porridge, and dinner is all alive.

After the family had eaten, Ning Xueer cleaned up quickly, washed again, and lay on the bed.

The next day, Ning Xue'er took a shovel and carried a basket on her back to dig yams.

But I never thought that on the way up the mountain, I met an old acquaintance, Zhang Yisheng.

I haven't seen Zhang Yisheng for a long time, and Ning Xue'er only feels that his whole person has lost weight and turned black. And his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was haggard, and he didn't have a good rest.

When Zhang Yisheng saw Ning Xue'er, he reluctantly smiled, "Xue'er, where are you going?" ”

"Go up the hill and dig something." Ning Xue'er shook the shovel in her hand.

"Coincidentally, I'm going up the mountain too, let's go together."

So, the two of them went up the mountain together again.

On the way, Ning Xue'er cautiously glanced at Zhang Yisheng many times before asking, "Brother Zhang, where have you been these days?" ”

"I ran everywhere, I went wherever there was work to do, and finally made some money, and the result was ............."

Zhang Yisheng shook his head helplessly, everything is fate!

"What's the matter, Brother Zhang, is something happening?" Ning Xue'er anxiously pulled Zhang Yisheng's sleeve, her eyes full of concern.

Zhang Yisheng, who was physically and mentally exhausted, finally got the attention of others, his eyes were red, he held back his tears, and told Ning Xue'er what had happened recently.

It turned out that just a few days ago, Zhang Yisheng's father, Zhang Orion, went into the mountains to hunt and unfortunately ran into a blind bear. Although Zhang Orion is experienced and skilled, he is not as powerful as the blind bear, although he has picked up a life, but he has lost a leg.

Zhang Orion is the pillar of the Zhang family, and when he fell ill, the livelihood of the whole family was gone. These days, only Zhang Yisheng suffered, he raised money everywhere, and at the same time sought medical advice, in just a few days, people lost a lot of weight.

Ning Xue'er was very sympathetic to Zhang Yisheng, and immediately wanted to go to his house to see Zhang Orion, she clearly remembered that when she fell into the water, Zhang Orion sent two rabbits.

However, Zhang Yisheng didn't go home, and she couldn't take the initiative to ask for a girl's house, so Ning Xueer could only follow Zhang Yisheng to the mountain.

Zhang Yisheng walked in front, he turned his head abruptly and asked, "Xue'er, what are you going to dig?" I'll help you when I get the trap right. ”

Ning Xue'er was worried that Zhang Yisheng hadn't heard of yams, so she winked mischievously and said, "You'll know later." ”

After going up the mountain, Zhang Yisheng dug a few traps in a familiar way, and followed Ning Xue'er to dig yams.

However, when Ning Xue'er pointed to a green vine and asked him to dig with a shovel, he was still shocked.

There was a slight surprise in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. Zhang Yisheng dug hard with a shovel, and in a few moments, he dug out something like a dead tree root.

He picked it up and handed it to Ning Xue'er, who took it in his hand and looked at it, it was indeed a yam.

She nodded with a smile, "Brother Zhang, keep digging, this is the thing." ”

Zhang Yisheng was digging yams, and Ning Xue'er was not idle, she was picking up firewood around.

The two of them acted separately, and in less than half an hour, the two back baskets brought by Ning Xue'er were full.

Zhang Yisheng had no choice but to take Ning Xue'er home.

Zhang Yisheng's family lives at the foot of the mountain, far from Caoqiao Village. As soon as she entered the small courtyard, Ning Xue'er saw a girl about twelve or thirteen years old drying clothes in the courtyard.

"Honey," Zhang Yisheng put down the basket and called.

The girl turned around and saw that her brother had returned, so she hurriedly put down her clothes and ran into the kitchen to pour two glasses of water.

Zhang Yisheng led Ning Xue'er into the house and looked at Zhang Orion and his wife.

Zhang Orion injured his leg and could only lie on the bed, while Zhang Yisheng's mother, Shen Chunhua, sat on the side, watching while mending clothes.

Ning Xue'er obediently called someone, and Zhang Orion agreed happily, but now that the situation at home was at home, his eyes couldn't help but dim again. Ning Xue'er smiled and said a few words of relief, drank the tea brought by honey, and the two of them did not rest, and went to the mountain again with two big back baskets.

After going up the mountain, Zhang Yisheng continued to dig yams, although he didn't know what this thing was for, but Xue'er asked him to dig him.

Ning Xue'er followed the navigation, found a chestnut tree, quickly picked some chestnuts and threw them into the back basket, and continued to collect firewood.

Ning Xue'er swept all the way, saw the firewood picked up, and didn't let go of the wild vegetables, the two of them just worked like this, and before they knew it, it was noon.

Ning Xue'er ran to call Zhang Yisheng, and the two went to their secret base, a small cave, with the basket on their backs.

As soon as she entered the cave, Ning Xue'er immediately felt much cooler. She was so tired that she sat on the big stone and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

Zhang Yisheng put down the basket and went to find two large leaves, and he used the leaves to hold some spring water and handed them to Ning Xue'er.

Ning Xue'er took it with a smile and drank it all in one go, this spring water is really thirst-quenching.

Zhang Yisheng also sat on the stone, drank some water, rested for a while, and the two of them made a fire to roast chestnuts.

Zhang Yisheng asked while lighting a fire: "Xue'er, what's the use of digging up your black thing?" ”

For Zhang Yisheng, Ning Xueer didn't want to hide it at all, she said directly: "Brother Zhang, that thing can be eaten, and it has high nutritional value, eating more is good for your health." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yisheng listened to Ning Xue'er's explanation, and was very surprised, he didn't expect that this thing like dead tree bark could still be eaten.

Thinking that his father and mother were not in good health, and Ning Xue'er said that this thing nourishes his body, Zhang Yisheng suddenly thought......... But in front of Ning Xue'er, he was embarrassed to say it, so he roasted chestnuts silently.

"Brother Zhang, thank you for helping me dig yams today, you can carry some yams when you go down the mountain later."

If it was usual, Zhang Yisheng would definitely not want Ning Xue'er's things, but right now, he nodded slightly, and he agreed.

After eating the chestnuts, the strength of the two of them recovered a little. Zhang Yisheng was in a hurry to dig yams, but was stopped by Ning Xue'er, "Brother Zhang, now that the sun is scorching, it's better to rest again, drink some water, and go back later." ”

Zhang Yisheng took into account that Ning Xue'er was a girl, so he just nodded and rested for a while.

In a moment of rest, Ning Xue'er took out the wild vegetables in the back basket and sorted them out, she thought, Brother Zhang's family has been short of money recently, and they can't afford to buy vegetables, so it's good to take wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

In the afternoon, Ning Xueer and Zhang Yisheng worked together again, and it was not until it was almost evening that the two went down the mountain with a basket on their backs.

Passing by Zhang Yisheng's house, Ning Xue'er entered, she took off the big back basket on her body, and said to Zhang Yisheng, "Brother Zhang, you can accept this firewood, and in addition, the small back basket of yam at noon is also given to you." ”

Zhang Yisheng just wanted to shake his head and refuse, Ning Xue'er immediately said: "Don't refuse, last time I fell into the water, your family gave me two rabbits, it stands to reason that I have to return the gift, but there is nothing good at home, this is just a little careful, you accept it." ”

After the words fell, Ning Xue'er picked up another yam, pulled the honey and instructed her, "Sister, this thing must be peeled before eating." ”

Ning Xue'er demonstrated as she spoke, she quickly peeled off the skin, and the yam revealed the white flesh. Then put the yam on the cutting board, cut it into pieces with a knife, put it on a plate, and finally turned to the honey and said, "After it is ready, it can be steamed in the pot and eaten." ”

Honey was stunned, she didn't expect that this thing that seemed to be similar to the roots of a dead tree could be eaten!

"Do you see clearly?" Ning Xue'er asked again with a smile.

Honey nodded emphatically, and before leaving, Ning Xue'er also intimately instructed that this yam is easy to stick, so you should be extra careful when peeling it.

When she got home, Ning Xue'er put down her things first and went to wash her hands.

After thinking about it, she decided to eat it at night steamed yam. Take out a few yams, peel them and cut them into pieces, and light a fire on the steamer.

Soon, Ning Dazhuang returned. After washing their hands, the family ate around a dining table.

Recently, Ning Dazhuang moved goods at the wharf, got some wages, and the Zhang family also knitted a piece of cloth, the family has income, there is hope for life, and the gloomy clouds shrouded in the family have all dispersed, replaced by smiles on the faces of the family.

Ning Xue'er cautiously talked about Zhang Orion's family, Ning Dazhuang sighed, and said to Zhang's family: "Child, you can send some things tomorrow." ”

Zhang wanted to speak and stopped, Ning Xue'er hurriedly said: "Dad, there are no good things at home, I think you have to go to the town tomorrow to buy some." ”
