Chapter 21: The Search for Human Life
Early the next morning, Lin Wanwan woke up early.
She didn't know when she had fallen asleep last night, but it was clear that she had slept very comfortably.
It's just that Xu Luqing, who was beside her, didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night because of her.
Xu Luqing originally pretended to sleep for her peace of mind.
Finally stayed up until Lin Wanwan fell asleep, he was relieved, he didn't have to deliberately control his breathing, who knew that this girl was not honest in sleeping, and one foot almost didn't reach between his legs.
Although Xu Luqing couldn't stand up anymore, his calves were still slightly perceptual, and he could naturally feel her touch.
He couldn't go to Nolin in the middle of the night, so he could only endure her harassment from late at night.
Until Lin Wanwan got up, Xu Luqing didn't open his eyes.
Lin Wanwan thought he was still asleep, so she didn't call him, got dressed and went out.
Li Xiuzhi saw that she was up and didn't need to call herself, so she smiled with satisfaction.
Although she doesn't have to work in Lin Wanwan, no one wants to marry a lazy daughter-in-law to enter the door.
What's more, last night they agreed to dig wild vegetable roots together, if Lin Wanwan couldn't afford to lie in bed, Li Xiuzhi couldn't force her to go, but she would feel a little uncomfortable.
"Mom, I didn't wake up late, did I?"
Lin Wanwan asked uneasily, she didn't know what time Li Xiuzhi usually went out, but when she came out of the house, Li Xiuzhi was ready.
"No, it's just the right time."
Li Xiuzhi handed her the small basket in her hand, and there was a small curved shovel in it.
"I originally thought that you young people would sleep late, and if you couldn't get up, I would wait for you to wake up, but I didn't expect you to wake up so early."
The smile on Li Xiuzhi's face was much more real, she took a small basket again, and walked out of the house side by side with Lin Wanwan.
"That's right, let's go a little earlier, and we can dig more wild vegetable roots. Now the drought is terrible, and there are no wild vegetable roots to eat, so we can still dig more, and it's good to pickle them up if we can't finish eating. ”
That being said, but their wild vegetable roots have always only been when they don't have enough to eat, and there is no chance to leave them at all, and now Lin Wanwan, who is like a rice bucket, is not to mention.
"Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you."
Lin Wanwan didn't understand this, but she was obedient.
Li Xiuzhi was very satisfied with her attitude, and naturally she would not be angry.
Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a big problem, Li Xiuzhi suffered losses when she was young, and she treated her daughter-in-law very kindly.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left the house and went all the way east.
The people in the village are scattered around digging wild vegetable roots, in order to find a piece of land with many wild vegetable roots, so that they can dig a little more.
Their village is big enough and the land is not small, but now it has been mottled with traces of excavation.
The charred yellow earth became drier and drier when exposed to the sun, and some of it seemed to have turned white.
Lin Wanwan and the others had already arrived early enough, but there were still many people in the field.
It's a pity that even if they came early, the results were not good, and there were a few wild vegetable roots in the small basket.
At this time, the people have been tortured by hunger and have no human form, they are wooden and silent, even if they see acquaintances, they are unable to chat.
Li Xiuzhi didn't say much, took Lin Wanwan to a place with few people, squatted down and began to dig the soil.
The long-arid land is very dry by the sun, and Lin Wanwan needs to use his strength to dig a gap in the hard land, and then find human vitality from this dry and lifeless land.
