Liu Meibao and Qingya were busy for a while, the branches scattered on the ground had already been picked up, and they didn't bring machetes or other tools, relying on thin arms and legs to only pick up a small half basket.

The sun has risen very high, and I only ate half a cake of sorghum corn and wild vegetables last night, although it is a girl's small amount of food, but I am also hungry.

With a gurgling sound in their stomachs, the master and servant couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Miss, I still have a little cake left over from last night, you can eat it." Qingya suddenly took out a black cake less than half the size of a palm from her arms and handed it over.

This kid really has nothing to say to himself, a young lady, and secretly saves a bite every time to quench the young lady's hunger when she is hungry.

Liu Meibao hurriedly said thank you, which made Qingya very scared.

Under Liu Meibao's repeated requests, the two divided the small cake into two pieces.

"Miss, let's go back while eating." Qingya choked on the dry cake and rolled her eyes, while saying, thinking that if you can't eat dry food at home, you can at least drink hot wild vegetable soup.

Liu Meibao couldn't help but shudder at the thought of having to eat the food that he couldn't imagine in his life for more than 20 years after he went back, and that it was very likely that he would have to eat it for a long time in the future.

Her eyes swept around, the sun shining through the branches on the ground, the sound of birds chirping in the woods, and the fat birds jumping and feeding in between.

"Qingya, pour out the firewood." Liu Meibao suddenly remembered something, stood up, and began to untie the rope on the basket.

"Do what?" Qingya was puzzled, but did what she said.

"Open meat." Liu Meibao grinned and smiled.

Propping up the basket with a piece of firewood, crumpling the uneaten cakes and scattering them under the basket, the hemp rope is not long enough, seeing that there is no one on the left and right, Liu Meibao reached out and untied the skirt.

Qingya opened her mouth wide and looked stunned.

"What are you afraid of, it's not that you don't have pants...."Liu Meibao said with a smile, urging her to untie it too.

Qing Yasang's face was flushed, and she explained it according to her words, but it was to replace Liu Meibao's nepotism.

"Miss, that's enough," she whispered, lifting her pants and feeling a little embarrassed.

Liu Meibao knew that this was the bottom line of this little girl, smiled slightly and stopped talking, pulling the barely enough rope and hiding behind the tree with Qingya waiting for the greedy bird to throw herself into the net.

"Miss, if the birds don't eat it, the cake will be wasted...."Qingya said with a look of pity.

Liu Meibao shushed at her, staring intently at the wooden basket, and after a while, two birds jumped in, Qingya only patted her shoulder excitedly, Liu Meibao was unmoved, and waited until a few more went in before pulling down the rope.

In this way, half a day later, the skirt pocket was fully loaded, there was food, the master and servant were not in a hurry to go home, and they opened meat by the stream below the mountain, Liu Meibao first beat the birds wrapped in the skirt on the ground and fainted to death, and then wrapped in mud and set up a pile of firewood and began to wait for the delicious food to be completed.

"Miss, can you eat it this way?" Qingya asked with a blank look in her eyes, shaking her skirt.

"It's just a pity for your skirt," Liu Meibao said with a smile.

Qingya grinned, "Just go back and wash up..."

The two were talking, and there was the sound of hurried footsteps not far away.

"You're here," a voice of anxiety and worry came at the same time.

Liu Meibao looked back and saw that it was "herself" cousin running over, this child gave her a good impression, and hurriedly stood up to say hello.

"So here, go home and eat....." He said with obvious relief, smelling the fragrance before the words fell, and then his eyes fell on the fire, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister, what are you doing?" ”

"It's called a flower bird." Liu Meibao smiled, while greeting him, the title cousin is still not used to calling out, ".. Come and taste it.."

"What is it?" My cousin asked, not understanding.

As she spoke, Liu Meibao had already squatted down, picked up the ashes with a stick, looked at them, and rolled out the burned dry and cracked mud balls one by one.

Liu Meibao's maternal grandfather's family name is Zhou, what is the name of the uncle, Qingya doesn't know, only knows that the uncle's surname is Song, and she is also a local, the village people are called Song Sanniangzi, and the cousin's name is Liangyu, although this Zhou's family is not a powerful official family, but it is also a local family in Xie County, otherwise there will be no family team that can go into battle to kill the enemy, thinking that if Zhou Liangyu is not affected by this family change, he will also be a pampered young master, from birth to the present, it is also the first time to live such a hard life.

When the mud was knocked open, the bird feathers fell off, and the shiny and burnt bird meat appeared in front of him with the scent, Liu Meibao clearly heard the sound of the young man swallowing saliva.

From the initial reserve, to the last three and a half children let go of their hands and feet, and only ate their hands and mouths full of oil.

"Wait, don't eat it all." Liu Meibao looked at the less and less mud balls, and said hurriedly.

Qingya and Zhou Liangyu, who were reaching out to grab the mud ball, withdrew their hands a little sneeringly, ashamed of their forgetfulness, the elder brother naturally had to take care of his sister, and of course the maid couldn't grab food with the young lady.

"Take it back to my uncle and wife." Liu Meibao said with a smile.

Qingya and Zhou Liangyu were very surprised, glanced at each other, and immediately became happy again, Qingya felt that the young lady had really become more sensible, Zhou Liangyu was full of meat in the palm of her hand, and she was naturally willing to be close to her sister.

"Sister's body is good, you should eat more...."Zhou Liangyu still said, his eyes were full of concern.

Liu Meibao smiled and shook her head, her body is weak due to heart disease, but it is not a big deal, it will be good to exercise more in the future, after all, now rely on this aunt to live, it is better to please people than to annoy people.

When I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw Song Sanniang standing outside the door and looking out, and when she saw them coming, her face was stretched longer.

"Why didn't you die outside?" She snorted and turned to enter.

"Mother.." Zhou Liangyu glanced at Liu Meibao timidly, and saw that Liu Meibao's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't seem to hear Song Sanniang's words, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly followed with a mud ball to offer treasures, "Mother, my sister made you a flower and bird." ”

"What do you mean by flowers and birds?" Song Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and went to look at the mud ball in her son's hand.

Zhou Liangyu had already broken the mud on the ground, and carefully took out the still hot and fragrant bird meat, "Mother, you can taste it, it's delicious." ”

Song Sanniang was stunned for a moment, the smell of meat penetrated into her nose, and she subconsciously opened her mouth and took a bite.

Although there is no oil and salt sauce to accompany it, for people who have not tasted meat for almost a year, it is still delicious and almost bites your tongue.

"If you have spare time, you can beat half a bundle of firewood and exchange it for half a liter of beans, which is weird!" Song Sanniang came back to her senses, raised her eyebrows and shouted, "If you don't eat meat, you'll starve to death!" ”

scolded his son for this, but his eyes glared at Liu Meibao fiercely.

"Mother..."Zhou Liangyu pulled the sleeves of Song Sanniang's clothes with a little pleading.

Liu Meibao smiled and replied, "Yes, I'll remember it later." As he spoke, he spread out the firewood he had gathered by the wall to dry.

Seeing that she didn't cry because she covered her face as usual, Song Sanniang was also a little surprised, but she didn't think much about it, scolded a few words and went into the house, and soon heard the sound of weaving.

This kind of voice has been almost non-stop day and night since Liu Meibao woke up, but the clothes worn by the family could not be simpler.

"The cloth woven by my uncle and wife is good, and if you go to the county town to sell it, you will earn more money than others." Qingya explained to her.

Sure enough, the next day, Song Sanniang took out a piece of cloth that she had just woven and asked Zhou Liangyu to sell it.

"Mother, it's better to go again tomorrow." Zhou Liangyu said with some embarrassment, "I just told the Li Chief's family that I will help plow the ground today." ”

The helper can earn a few pennies a day by plowing the land, and taking care of a meal is also a good benefit for the idlers in the village, and the Chang's family, like all the landlords and old wealth, is the most stingy, and the work done by ten people can be pressed into three people, so it is not easy to go to his house to help, and many people want to break their heads.

Song Sanniang nodded when she heard this, while saying that I will sell it, she stuffed half of the black cake in her hand to Zhou Liangyu, looked up and saw Liu Meibao frowning and chewing the cake with a hard to swallow look, and snatched it away.

"If an idler doesn't move for a day, it's enough to eat and drink." She said angrily and handed the cake to Zhou Liangyu again.

Zhou Liangyu shouted helplessly with a bit of reproach, dissatisfaction, and did not answer.

"It's okay, it's okay, brother, let's eat." Liu Meibao hurriedly said, smiling, "My brother is doing heavy work today, so he naturally has to eat enough, otherwise he will hurt himself." ”

Song Sanniang frowned and looked at her twice, but did not speak.

"I said that the mayor's family is in charge of the food, wouldn't it be a loss to eat enough in your own house." Zhou Liangyu touched his head and smiled, got up and walked out as he spoke, "I'm full, I'm gone." ”

Song Sanniang snorted, put the cake back into the shallow basket on the table, got up and walked away.

"Miss, let's eat." Qingya smiled and picked up the cake and handed it to Liu Meibao.

Liu Meibao didn't answer.

"Uncle, this is for you to eat, or you will leave early as usual." Qingya thought she didn't dare to eat, so she whispered.

Liu Meibao sighed, but still didn't eat.

"I'm full." She laughed and stood up and stepped aside.

The young lady has always eaten very little, and Qingya didn't say much, looked at the cake, and carefully looked at Song Sanniang's house, and reached out to grab it.

"Who knows if there will be such a good thing in the next meal, eat it first and save it in your stomach...", she muttered in a low voice, and ate it in large gulps.

Liu Meibao stood in the yard, frowned, stretched out her hand and patted her stomach gently, full, where can I be full, but it's not the same thing to always eat this.

Her temperament is indifferent, either she was born like this, or she was acquired because of her family, in short, she quickly accepted the unthinkable thing of borrowing corpses to resurrect souls.

But now that we accept this fact, we have to consider reality.

Through a simple conversation with Qingya, it can be seen that this is not any dynasty in history that she is familiar with.

But even if you know, it's useless, as a woman, you don't have to think about things like pointing out the country, but after all, you are a person who has received more than 20 years of modern education, and it's just a bit of a wasted adventure to come back from the dead and wait for death.

What's more, if you want to eat and wait for death, you have to create this environment first.

Shen Liumei has been alive for more than 20 years, although she is not a child of a rich and noble family, she has really never been guilty, and she can't live if she really wants to eat bran like this for the rest of her life.

Qingya washed the dishes and chopsticks, and Song Sanniang came out of the house, carrying the cloth in her hand and a basket in the other, looking like she was going to the city.

"Auntie.." Liu Meibao's eyes lit up and hurriedly shouted.

Song Sanniang looked at her at this time, and did not speak with a straight face.

"Since my brother is not available, why don't I do this errand job." Liu Meibao said with a smile.
