Chapter 17: Peanuts and Hares
Nangong Anshan said: "Even if you drink, we can still hold on, your life is at stake." ”
Yu Shi thanked him again and again, and then continued to drink the porridge.
Thinking that her son hadn't eaten rice for several days, she forced him to drink several sips.
After Wei Zhongshan finished drinking the porridge, he glanced at the bamboo tube and said, "Ah Shan, I will wash the water source next time I encounter it and return it to you." ”
Nangong Anshan said: "It's okay, I'll give it to you, use it as a tool to hold water." ”
"Thank you, Ashan."
After the equals were relieved, Zhou Lizheng let them continue their journey.
The Qiu family has been following Nangong Anshan's family since the first two days.
Seeing that they actually gave their precious porridge to outsiders to drink, the eyes of jealousy turned red.
It's really too much!
Nangong Anshan felt that someone was staring at her behind her, and when she turned her head to look, she saw that her grandmother and aunt, second aunt and people in the third room were all staring at her.
"Stare again, I'll pull your eyes out!"
Those people didn't know why, but they suddenly felt a pain in their eyes and quickly looked away.
"Hmph." Nangong Anshan turned her head and continued to push the person to walk.
Yang Ruolan sat on the cart and looked at the food they had left, and suddenly became sad.
There are now seven people in their family, all of whom are growing up, and now there is not much food in the basket, and it is estimated that there is not enough to eat today.
Nangong Anshan naturally saw what A-Niang was worried about, and she didn't speak.
She now has six merits, and she can take out a lot of food, just to make her think of excuses.
This time, like the places I passed before, the places I passed were all bare, which made the people of Qingshan Village anxious.
It was already noon, and Zhou Lizheng wanted to stop, but when he saw that there was no water or food in the resting place, he had to bite the bullet and let everyone continue walking.
After all, they saw a mountain in front of them, and if there was a mountain, there should be food.
Everyone was okay and kept walking.
Finally, they came to the base of a mountain.
Zhou Lizheng looked at the map and said to all his children: "According to the map, to reach the fiefdom of King Liwang as soon as possible, we need to reach Hanshui City first, and it will only take us two days to cross this mountain, and if we want to get around this mountain, it will take us five days." Go and ask the family members and see what they want to do. But rest assured, the mountain is notoriously safe because of the large number of people walking, and there has never been a ferocious beast. ”
"Yes."
After a while, his children were all back.
"Daddy, they all said to go over the mountain."
"Okay." Zhou Li said: "Then rest in place, wake up tomorrow morning, and we will go up the mountain." ”
It's a good place, and at least it can give them a little green.
Everyone immediately relaxed, those who had food began to cook, and those who did not have food began to go to the bottom of the mountain to find food.
Nangong Anshan poured all the rice into the pot, which was only enough for three people to eat, and it was porridge.
Qiu's family was next door, and at a glance, he saw that Nangong Anshan didn't have much rice, and said proudly: "I let you not know how to save before, eat dry rice every day, and gave what you ate to others just now, I see what you eat." I'll tell you, we still have some food, and we can last for many days. ”
Nangong Miao also mocked: "People like you are only hungry." ”
Nangong Anshan raised her eyebrows and said, "Who said I just had these foods?" ”
"Don't be hard-mouthed." Qiu sneered: "Do you know how many people look at you unpleasantly during this time? The refugees still eat dry rice, eggs, and pancakes every day, which is really deadly. I advise you, to run faster, and go to pick wild vegetables and dig up grass roots to eat, lest there end up with nothing. ”
Nangong Anshan snorted, "Don't worry about you, don't worry, our food is guaranteed to be a hundred times better than yours." ”
After speaking, she asked her second brother to guard the family and make the remaining rice into porridge, while she walked to the mountain with a basket on her back.
Qiu and his family said: "You wait and see, when she can't find anything to eat and comes back to ask us, we must not give it to her, just let them go hungry." ”
"Yes, A-Niang."
It's just that it didn't take long for Nangong Anshan to come back, and from a distance, her back basket seemed to be full of things.
When she came to her family, she put the basket in front of them.
Everyone in the Nangong family widened their eyes in surprise.
Yang Ruolan said: "This ...... Is this a peanut? Are there peanuts on the mountain? And these peanuts are in good condition. ”
Nangong Anshan said: "Well, there is, but I just found that piece, and I didn't look at it nearby." ”
When the merit is five, you can exchange it for peanuts, either without soil or with soil, and in order to hide people's eyes, she asked Taylor to give her the one with soil.
Yang Ruolan and the children breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The peanuts are also very full, and there are at least dozens of catties of peanuts in the back basket, so they can not be hungry for several days.
Ah Shan was right, God really gave her good luck and made it easy for her to find food.
Nangong Anshan opened another cloth bag, revealing the hare inside.
Everyone was shocked, "Rabbit? ”
Nangong Anshan said: "Yes, tonight we will make a rabbit stew with peanuts to eat." ”
Yang Ruolan and the children were immediately looking forward to it, they had meat to eat tonight.
Qiu and his daughters and granddaughters were stunned when they saw that Nangong Anshan had actually found hares and peanuts.
Nangong Anshan noticed the gaze of Qiu and the others, and said with a smile: "I'm disappointed with you, I have meat to eat tonight." ”
Qiu's face was suddenly a little embarrassed, but he still licked his face and asked, "Where did you find your hare and peanuts?" ”
Nangong Anshan pointed in a direction, looking very generous, and said, "It's right there." ”
Qiu and his family immediately did not delay the time, leaving one person to cook, and the others ran there.
The people nearby also heard what Nangong Anshan said, and while the sky was not yet completely dark, they also followed behind Qiu and the others.
They don't want to catch rabbits, they just want to dig peanuts.
Peanuts are well preserved, but they can last for a long time.
Seeing this, Nangong Sheng said: "Ah Shan, why don't we go over too, there are many of us, we will definitely be able to bring more down this time, don't be cheap Grandma them." ”
"Second brother, don't worry, I'm not stupid, the Qiu family is going to sell me, how can I find food for her? I'm sure there's nothing around anymore, but there's something else. ”
"What's that?"
"We'll find out later."
