Chapter 36: Don't be afraid, count me!

There is a small stream in this small valley, the water is not much, but it is very clear, and in addition to this, there are clumps of sweet potato vines growing on the ground.

Tao Xi was pleasantly surprised to dig out one, although it was not as strong as her space, but this sweet potato was also the size of a fist.

She looked around excitedly, this sweet potato field should be wild, maybe the sweet potatoes left behind by people who had passed by here, so that the sweet potatoes grew one after another.

Maybe it's because it's a drought now, and the leaves of this sweet potato are a little yellow, but I'm afraid that in a few days, these sweet potatoes will also dry up!

Tao Xi hurriedly loaded a few bamboo tubes of water, planed a few sweet potatoes and put them in the back basket, and even brought some sweet potato vines, so he happily rushed back.

Just arrived, Jian Shiwu impatiently urged: "Li Zheng said that he was about to leave, why are you so long!" ”

Because of the locusts crossing the border before, Li Zheng was worried that the locusts would make a comeback, so he planned to hurry away.

Tao Xi was too lazy to take care of Jian Shiwu, pulled the sick Xi Shi to the side, and opened his mouth mysteriously.

"Xianggong, we are saved!"

"Did you find something to eat?"

Jian Shiming could think of this, Tao Xi couldn't help laughing, lowered his voice and said, "I not only found something to eat, but also found a lot of food." ”

She quietly lifted the back basket, "See?" There's a valley in front of you, and there's a sweet potato field in it, and you think we're not going to starve to death? ”

"Really?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Jian Shiming's eyes, if this was the case..., then they would definitely be able to rush to the south earlier.

"Really, I don't lie to you, I visually inspected it, and there are about a few hundred catties of sweet potatoes."

Tao Xi lowered his voice and deliberately guided: "Xianggong, what do you say?" We can't take that much. ”

"I'll go find Lizheng, you found this sweet potato, you can always share more, as for the rest, we can't be too greedy, we have to give others a way to live, do you agree?"

Jian Shiming is not kind-hearted, because there are so many sweet potatoes, if their family takes them all, they can't protect them.

It's that Tao Xi can fit into the space, but she won't have the opportunity to take it out in the future, only if everyone has it, she has the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, so she nodded busily.

"Listen to each other!"

"You wait!"

Jian Shiming's steps were light, and he immediately went to find Lizheng, who looked very eager.

When Li Zheng heard this, his happy eyebrows were about to jump, and he repeatedly asked Tao Xi for confirmation, and after getting a positive answer, he calmed down.

"There are only two hundred and ninety-five people left in our village now, but if everyone knows about this land, they will definitely compete for it, and I am afraid that it will be chaotic."

Everyone is hungry, and when they are hungry, they are prone to accidents.

"Li Zheng, I suggest that you don't talk about finding sweet potatoes yet, just say that you should organize people to go out to find food and water, and one strong laborer from one household, and then make it clear to these dozens of people before we enter the valley.

If anyone dares to make trouble, his family will not be able to share the sweet potatoes, and everyone will definitely be obedient when the time comes. ”

Jian Shiming's smart brain turned wildly, "Of course, if the person from that family is a thorn, Li Zheng can let their family change people." ”

"Yes, do as you say!"

Li Zheng patted his thigh, which can be regarded as agreeing with Jian Shiming's words, a reader deserves to be a reader, and his brain is always clearer than him at critical moments.

Li Zheng gathered everyone together and talked about it, and everyone was immediately dissatisfied.

"Lizheng, I can still walk for a while, let's look for food later."

"yes, what if this locust makes a comeback?"

"It's important to escape, you won't starve to death for a while."

“……”

Everyone was not very willing, this was what Jian Shiming had expected a long time ago, and when Tao Xi appeared, she made a silent gesture, holding the gong in her hand, and slammed it.

"I just found a water source, there is not much water, if you want to drink water, listen to Lizheng's words, I will take you there."

"Hear me?"

Li Zhenghu made a tiger face and made a final decision, "There is a man in the family, don't talk nonsense, come with us." ”

"But Lizheng, just filling water, we women can do it."

"That's right, my man should stay and take care of the old man and children."

“……”

Li Zheng was a little helpless, and said angrily: "In the mountains, there are stones, if you women really have that physical strength, then it's okay."

By the way, everyone just happened to look for something to eat along the way, and they all carried baskets on their backs, and if they found something to eat, they would not go in vain. ”

Li Zheng didn't move, everyone didn't notice, I heard that it was all stones, most of the women still flinched and let the men go, after all, there was not much water, and only men could grab it.

Like Jian Erniang, there is no man in the family, so she went into battle.

Jian Lao Er came to Jian Er Niangzi, "Lady, I'll go to our house, you take care of your father and mother and children." ”

"I'm not a family with you!"

Jian Erniang immediately shook her face, brought Sanni to Tao Xi and them, and said quite embarrassedly:

"Shi Ming, can you let Sanni and Erni stay for a while?"

"Whatever you want."

Jian Shiming didn't do too much, since he was the enemy of the old woman, he was their friend.

Besides, he also looks down on Mrs. Jane and Mrs. Jane's second child.

"Thank you!"

Jian Erniang hurriedly bowed and thanked her, which made Jian Er, who was not far away, feel very uncomfortable.

But Jane's old wife was still dead, shouting in her mouth, "Second child, you have already divorced her, what else to see, our family will go to fetch water."

Remember, one bamboo tube per person, less is yours. ”

"I see, mother."

Jian Lao Er is an old scalper, serving the old Jane family forever, which really makes people lament his misfortune but anger him.

After everyone was assembled, Tao Xi explained to Erni before leaving, "Erni, if anyone who doesn't have long eyes dares to bully you, don't be afraid, kill me." ”

"Uh-huh."

Jian Erni nodded her head when she was taught, obviously she heard it, which made Sanni next to her very envious.

If... If she and Sister Dani had learned to resist at the beginning, wouldn't Sister Dani have been hungry and weak, and finally pushed into the locust pile by the dead old woman?

She clenched her little fists, and in the future, she would never let others bully her again!

Li Zheng took the lead when Ming Taoxi took the lead, followed by forty or fifty people, and when he broke away from the big team, Li Zheng said the purpose of the trip, and his tone couldn't help but bring joy.

"Brother Ming's daughter-in-law just found a sweet potato field, she is kind-hearted, and plans to share this sweet potato with all of us, you have to remember the good of her Jane's family."

"Sweet potatoes?"

"After calling so many of us, is there a lot of sweet potatoes?"

"Aren't we going to starve, then?"

"Brother Ming's daughter-in-law, is it true?"

"Thanks to Jane's mother, you don't have to go hungry in the future."
