Li Si snorted: "I'm not stupid! Let the third brother go, what does it mean? ”

"What do you mean?" Li Yi asked.

Li Si looked at the fool and glanced at Li Yi: "It shows that the old lady needs a cow!" ”

Li paused for a moment: "What do you mean?" Is the old lady going up the mountain looking for something very heavy? Do you have to carry it back? ”

Seeing Li Si nodding, Li kept patting his chest.

"Fortunately, it is good! Sure enough, it's still your kid who has a lot of eyes. ”

And at this time, in the shack outside the wall of the Li family's small courtyard.

Li Er, who shouted hoarsely, punched the ground.

"Okay, you Xu, with the support of the old lady, dare not to send food to Lao Tzu! When I can go back, see if I don't ......."

Just as he was talking about the most ruthless place, Li Er recalled in his mind what the old lady said before.

Thinking about it again, Li Er vaguely felt a little chill in his back, what was going on?

Could it be that the old lady really said it? Otherwise, where did she Xu have the courage to dare to do this to him?

In a flash of inspiration, he suddenly figured it out.

Li Qian has just emerged, and the Xu family dares to do this, and when Li Qian is older in the future, he will not really end up as miserable as the old lady said?

A slap in the face.

"Change! It must be changed! "Otherwise, it's really like what the old lady said, when this family has to rely on Li Gan to support itself, get him a clay pot grave, and it can be regarded as that kid has a conscience!

***

The next day, Lin Tao, who had not been able to sleep for eight hours for several days, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When they got up, Li Yi and Li Si sat on the ground and tied thatch, yawning one after another.

"Okay? Hurry up and hand it over! ”

Li Er's voice suddenly came from the roof, and Lin Tao was startled.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Li Er standing on the stairs.

"Morning, mother!"

"Why are you here?"

"Look at what my mother said! At home, when I need to work hard, how can I really hide in the shack and be lazy! Don't worry, when the house is built, I'll go back and stay! My mother is angry, I will never leave the shack. ”

Lin Tao even suspected that this was Li Si, a kid, who taught Li Er to say it.

It is also a fact that there are many things to do at home and there is a shortage of labor. Thinking of this, Lin Tao didn't throw Li Er out of the door.

In the stove shed, the second elder was already busy.

Lin Tao went in to fetch water, and saw that the old lady was putting the millet nest into a back basket.

"Last night, I heard that you were going up the mountain, so your father and I got up early in the morning and steamed some nests for you."

Looking at the steaming nest, Lin Tao's heart was warm.

Is this what it's like to be missed?

In front of her, the old lady may have seen her silent, afraid that she wouldn't, so she hurriedly explained: "You can starve, and neither can Linglan!" ”

Lin Tao, who came back to her senses, hurriedly said, "Thank you, mother." ”

Lin Tao didn't know which strength she had touched the old lady again, and the old lady's eyes were red, so she wiped her tears again.

Lin Tao, who was embarrassed, hurriedly fetched water and washed up.

When the sky was bright, Lin Tao took Li San and Xiao Linglan out.

Xiao Linglan, who looks like a rabbit, is still a little afraid of her and is reluctant to let her hold hands. I had no choice but to let Li San take care of Xiao Nizi more.

As soon as these words came out, Li San was stunned, so he simply hugged Xiao Linglan and put it in his back basket.

Amused Xiao Nizi and giggled.

This is the first time Lin Tao has seen Xiao Nizi since she came here, and she smiled so happily. I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth.

To say that Li San was called a cow by that kid is really not an exaggeration.

On the way up the mountain, he carried Xiao Linglan on his back, and he didn't take a breath of air.

Walking through the cultivated land and into the forest, Lin Tao focused his attention on searching.

However......

It's still the same as last time, and I walked for a long time, but I didn't find what she wanted.

But she had obviously seen it in the memory of the original owner, and the original owner called it weed.

Lin Tao had no choice but to turn around and ask, "Is there a hairy buckwheat near here?" ”

"What is a hairy buckwheat?" Li San asked.

"It's ......" Lin Tao pressed his hand down, half a meter to a meter above the ground: "It's so tall, and there are some white pubescence on it." The stems are slender, pale green with a reddish tinge. The leaves are alternate, and the petioles are about this long. ”

Compare one to about nine centimeters in length: "The leaves are triangular, green above, pale green below, with fine white pubescence on the veins, and the flowers are small, clustered together, like umbrellas, and produce small fruits, which are very small triangular shapes." ”

Xiao Linglan suddenly raised her hand: "I've seen it." Then the two little paws gestured back and forth, Xu and Xiao Li Qian were not there, and Lin Tao was stunned.

In the end, it was Li San who took the little lily of the valley out of the back basket, and the little guy led the way.

After nearly halfway back, Little Lily of the Valley began to walk down.

Steep gravel mountain, if you don't pay attention, your feet will slip.

Lin Tao unconsciously reached out and held Xiao Linglan tightly.

When the little guy looked up at her, his eyes were timid, like a white rabbit that had been caught.

Fortunately, this difficult road is not too long.

When Little Lily of the Valley stopped, there was a slope between two mountains in front of her, which was exactly the front and back of the mountain in the direction they came!

That large area of dense woolly buckwheat is so full of mountains that you can't see the end.

Got it! It's been found!

"Grandma? It? Xiao Linglan habitually hugged Li San's leg again, poked out a little head, and her voice was so quiet that you couldn't hear it.

"Yes, it's right! How did Lan Lan know about this? ”

Xiao Linglan suddenly shrank back, and her voice became even quieter: "Spring, I haven't eaten, A-Niang is here to pick it." ”

Some images flashed through Lin Tao's mind.

In the first year, the mountains were covered with heavy snow throughout the winter, and at the beginning of spring, not to mention herbs, even wild vegetables were pitiful.

In addition, the snow melted late, and the grain could not be planted in early spring, so everyone went up to the mountains to find food.

As long as it can be walked and eaten, it has been dug up almost completely.

Relying on the original owner's house, who walked in the mountains to dig medicine, there was even more shortage of food!

The original owner was also ruthless, and he ate tightly with Li Si and himself.

In order not to starve to death, Xu could only eat some things that others did not dare to eat, or what others thought were not delicious.

This hairy buckwheat is a combination of the two!

I heard that some people ate too much and collapsed to death!

Its leaves and stems are sour in taste and slightly bitter and pungent on the tongue, making it difficult to swallow.

If something that is not tasty and may eat the dead, naturally no one will pay attention to it.

And this has become Xu's lifesaver!

The two little ones only relied on a little bit of woolly buckwheat every meal, and they survived with a big fate.

The original owner's memory fragment about the woolly buckwheat was when the Xu family was secretly cooking it in the middle of the night, and the original owner saw it once.

At that time, the original owner still felt that this thing could eat the dead, and if the second girl was eaten to death, it would be just right!

Where is the original owner, it is simply vicious!

Looking at Xiao Linglan's appearance again, she is obviously afraid of Mao Ye buckwheat.

Although Li San didn't say anything, he picked the leaves of the wild buckwheat with a bad face.

It seems that he also thinks that this thing will eat the dead!
