Chapter 909: Famine, Natural Disasters 66
As soon as the Cheng Yuandong brothers left, Mingyi ran to dig wild vegetables, saying that digging wild vegetables is digging wild vegetables, and there was absolutely no excuse.
Cheng Mingli was surprised, thinking that she was just talking, who knew if she was really going to dig!
Cheng Yuanxi saw that his son was dumbfounded, shook his head and chuckled, "Go find wild vegetables, what are you doing stupidly?" ”
"Oh~" Cheng Mingli ran to his sister's side and looked for wild vegetables next to her.
Cheng Yuanxi smiled unabated, pinned the water bag to his waist, and began to dig wild vegetables; After half a month, I can eat fresh wild vegetables again, and I can see the green~
"Dad, how long do we have to walk to get to Yanhai?" Mingyi asked while digging wild vegetables.
"It's almost there, it's about half a month in time; We've been walking for more than two months, almost three months, and it should be soon. Actually, he wasn't sure, after all, he hadn't been there, but he had only heard from the merchants.
Cheng Mingli stopped what he was doing, and looked up at the distance in confusion, "Then can we live in peace?" ”
Cheng Yuan said, "Yes, can?" ”
Forehead?
Cheng Mingli turned his head to look at his father, seriously?
Cheng Yuanxi nodded seriously.
The wit of the father and son, Mingyi saw it clearly, "Dad, brother, we have silver; If you go to the coastal area, if there is still a drought, don't leave, settle down and find a way to live, and always rely on the sea. ”
You can survive if you want to find a way.
The seaside is rich in resources, but you can't go to sea, if you can go to sea and find one or two resource-rich islands, then it will be comfortable.
"We'll see when the time comes." Cheng Yuan West Road.
Cheng Mingli didn't know the bottom in his heart.
Mingyi felt that even if Yanhai was dry, he couldn't go, and it was useless to go again; Natural disasters are coming, who knows if it is a flood or something else, you must always be mentally prepared.
Unfortunately, she couldn't say that.
I can't say, and I don't have evidence; The whole clan is here, let alone other clansmen, her own grandfather won't believe it.
What followed was endless silence, digging wild vegetables until Cheng Yuandong and the others came over.
"Third uncle." Cheng Mingming and the others shouted.
"Here you are, fetch water, and the others will dig up wild vegetables; I finally came across fresh wild vegetables, dig more, and I can let go of eating today. After Cheng Yuanxi finished speaking, he continued.
The eldest son of Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Mingzhi was responsible for receiving water, and Cheng Minglian and Cheng Mingxin glanced at it at random, and each found a place with a lot of wild vegetables to squat.
Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan saw that there was nothing wrong with them, and they also ran to pick up wild vegetables.
After the two cauldrons were filled with water, the group walked back with the wooden iron pots; An iron pot was carried by two people, and there was no rope to fix the branches, and Mingyi and Mingli also came in handy, helping to hold the horizontal Shuzhi fixed iron pot to prevent it from running.
The road down the mountain is particularly difficult, and the iron pot will pour out once it is tilted, and it is not a waste to carry such a long way if the water overflows; Waste of time, energy, manpower, and material resources.
Therefore, they are extra careful and walk more slowly.
It was close to noon before returning to the station.
"They're back."
A crisp shout sounded, and Mingyi raised her eyes to see that it was Cheng Mingyue.
This baby won't make trouble again, right?
Mingyi was puzzled, only to see Cheng Mingyue also look over, and even raised her chin provocatively, her triumphant appearance was really indescribable.
What are you proud of?
Is there something wrong?
Mingyi withdrew her gaze, walked towards Chen Daya, stepped forward and grabbed her mother's arm, and said with a bright smile, "Mother, we have found water, this time it is mountain spring water, it is delicious." ”
"I know you found the water, and it is said that you found it." Chen Daya was held by her daughter with one hand, hugged her daughter with the other and patted her on the back, "My family etiquette is really amazing, every time I go out, I can always find something." ”
The search for water is the same, the people who followed them before came back one step ahead of them, and none of them found a water source; How to go back, how to come back, one by one depressed.
Mingyi chuckled and brisked, "Mother, we are not afraid of running out of water for a while in the future." ”
"It's good to be able to keep going." Chen Daya nodded, looked at the three brothers who were surrounded by the clansmen and Cheng Mingyi, and shook his head silently, "Did you find a lot of water?" ”
"I don't know, the water that comes out is small, but it keeps flowing."
Chen Daya nodded, "Well, you and your brother find a place to rest for a while, the sun is getting stronger and stronger." ”
"Okay." Mingyi ran into the crowd and pulled out his brother, seeing that his father was surrounded and couldn't come out, and the clansmen were still chattering and asking, the central idea was to ask the water source.
Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan helped maintain the water, which were two large pots of water that they had worked so hard to bring down, and they couldn't be splashed by their saliva.
Cheng Yuanxi was uncomfortable being surrounded, the weather was already hot, and it became even hotter when there were more people; One by one was still talking, and the heat ran straight towards them, and it was even hotter.
"Okay, okay, let's disperse first, let Yuanxi and them take a breath; Take a break and talk about the water thing, everyone is a member of the clan, Yuanxi They found water, and they won't look at you and don't tell you. The patriarch stepped forward and sent him away.
However, Mingyi didn't sound like that.
It's not that she is small-minded, and she always feels that the patriarch's tone is too deserved.
However, she can't say anything about the ancient clan, a junior can contribute to the clan, and in the eyes of the older generation, he is capable and glorious.
"Yuanxi will not monopolize the water source, let our family Mingyi take everyone there in the afternoon, now let us have a meal first, okay?" When he came back from a hurry, his mouth was dry, and his hot head was dizzy, and Cheng Yuanxi's tone naturally rushed a little.
The patriarch nodded, "Have a good rest, everyone will disperse first, and in the afternoon Mingyi will take everyone to find a water source." ”
Everyone dispersed, Mingyi pulled Mingli and ran to turn out the bowls for eating, and when they saw the iron pot put down, they ran over with a stack of bowls.
"Dad, uncle and second uncle, cousins will drink saliva and rest for a while."
"It's still sensible." Cheng Yuandong smiled with relief, other people's daughters are little padded jackets!
Cheng Yuannan took a bowl, poured a bowl of water into one of the large iron pots and drank it; Gulping down, he let out a comfortable sigh in an instant.
"Cool!"
Others did the same, and although they drank boldly, they didn't waste even a drop of water.
A bowl of water went down, quenched their thirst, and they sat on the ground and gasped for breath; When I drank water, I took a breath, and I sat on the ground with a hot dizziness.
"Bring me the boiled rice." Luo Cuihua greeted several daughters-in-law.
Li Lianhua, Feng Juhua and Chen Daya stepped forward to help set the meal, just a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and the pot was brought to the table and placed, and Luo Cuihua was responsible for distributing the porridge.
Wild vegetable porridge, wild vegetables are the majority, and brown rice porridge is mixed with a little fine grain.
In this way, it is not easy to be seen by others, and at the same time, it can nourish the body; Don't lose your body too much, a big pot of porridge looks too much, and one bowl for one person goes to more than half.
If you are not full, you can turn the bowl.
