183 Send the Buddha to the West
This steamed bun is not only a little dirty, but also has a pungent smell.
She really couldn't eat it.
Of course, no one has given her steamed buns yet.
At this time, a little child came to Ling Yao's side with a steamed bun, holding the dried steamed bun in his little hand, and said in a milky voice: "Uncle, eat steamed buns." ”
The child is about three or four years old, with yellow muscles and no nutrition.
Most of the children at this time have baby fat, but the children in front of them basically have no baby fat.
Ling Yao looked at the child, smiled slightly, and said, "Uncle is not hungry, you can eat it yourself." ”
The child was stunned, and seeing that Ling Yao didn't want his own steamed buns, he looked back at his mother.
It's better to stand still and not know what to do.
"Since Uncle doesn't want it, then you can eat it yourself."
A woman in her thirties looked at her child with pity.
Because of the cowherd, everyone did not get infected with wind and cold because of the rain.
Although I was cold and hungry, I was fortunate not to get sick.
An old man looked outside and said slowly: "This rain, I don't know when it will stop!" ”
It seems that it can't stop for a while.
"It's about to stop, right?"
Ling Yao looked at the sky and spoke thoughtfully.
The villages at the foot of the mountain were all flooded, and through the cracks in the trees, the yellow flood water outside could be faintly seen.
"Everyone saves some dry steamed buns to eat to maintain their strength, so as not to go hungry tomorrow."
A man said loudly.
They came out to flee this time, and everyone brought some food with them, but not a lot.
Save a little, it can probably last for three or four days.
When the rain stops, they can temporarily look for some wild vegetables or other wild fruits in the mountains.
The banana hearts made by the cowherd can also be used as food.
After one day, the next day the rain was lighter.
However, the flood under the mountain has not yet receded, and several men said, "Let's go out and find some wild fruits or wild vegetables." ”
"Yes, while the rain is light now, it will be gray this day, and maybe it will rain again."
So, several young and strong men left the shelter one after another to look outside for food.
They are also villagers in the vicinity, so they are familiar with the conditions in the mountains here, and know where to find wild vegetables and fruits.
This time, Ling Yao didn't follow, she sat on a tree stump to rest.
At this time, Qing Xuan's voice sounded in his head.
She glanced at Qing Xuan, and Qing Xuan also looked at her.
"Aren't we leaving?"
Qing Xuan used secret language to speak, and only Ling Yao could hear it.
They've already wasted two days here, are they going to waste any more?
Ling Yao also immediately responded, "It's a bit bad to leave suddenly now, and it's not sure if they are safe yet." ”
"We shouldn't care about it so much."
"I know, but we've already taken care of it, so let's do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west."
"A-Yao, you don't have to be so kind."
"If I don't do this, my conscience will not pass."
The two communicated for a while, and Qing Xuan was helpless, knowing that he couldn't persuade Ling Yao, so he also closed his mouth.
The only thing he can do now is to tide over the difficulties with these ordinary people with Ah Yao.
About two hours passed, and the young men who had gone out in search of food came back one after another.
"I found a wild cucumber."
A man used his clothes to pocket a large handful of wild cucumbers, which were small and covered with thorn-like flesh, which could be eaten directly without prickly hands.
Wild cucumbers are green, sour and crunchy, and the taste is okay.
The second man came back with some wild kiwi in his arms, wild kiwi was small, some hard, and sour to eat.
After all, they were freshly picked, and almost all of them were hard.
It tastes naturally sour, but it can't be done.
But if you can eat it, it's food.
Wild kiwi fruit is sweet when ripe, but it is not enough to wait for a day or two to ripen, at least a week.
The third man came back, and he didn't bring anything to eat, but some dry firewood.
The dry firewood has not been drenched in rain and can be burned to keep warm.
"Where did you find all this dry firewood?"
"In a small hole, someone should have chopped firewood there and forgot to take it away, so I took it out and just made a fire for us to keep warm."
"Is there anything else in the cave?"
"No, that's all, in order to prevent this firewood from raining, I covered it with my own clothes, I hope it can be lit and warm everyone."
It's not that cold here, but it's still a little cold.
Although Ling Yao made her surroundings warm, she was not unavoidable of the cold.
It's just not that cold.
If you make it warm, it's too obvious and easy to be suspicious of others.
"Hurry up and put the firewood here, it's a little drier here."
Then, the last man returned.
The man walked quickly, almost running back, with a look of joy on his face.
"Great, we have meat to eat."
As soon as they heard that there was meat to eat, everyone's eyes lit up.
"There's meat to eat, what meat?"
Even if it's a little minced meat.
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, the man shook his clothes, and more than two dozen crabs, about the size of an egg, fell down one after another.
"Hey, I thought it was some kind of meat, but it turned out to be a crab." Someone opened his mouth in frustration, and Bai was happy
"What's wrong with the crab? Crabs are also meat, don't you want to eat them? ”
"Well, it's better to eat than no meat."
"We don't have a pot, how can we get crabs?"
"Just roast it over the fire!"
"Do you have any fire breaks?"
Everyone shook their heads, where is there any fire fold.
Ling Yao took out a fire fold from behind his back and slowly spoke, "I just have a fire fold, do you need it?" ”
"Brother Cowherd, thank you so much."
"You're welcome."
Ling Yao spoke lightly.
Watching them chop the dry wood little by little with a knife, for the sake of the fire primer, so they made the dry wood into very thin strips, which gave rise to the fire primer.
After about a quarter of an hour, with the exclamations of several men, the fire was finally lit.
"There's a fire, let's roast the crabs first, and dry the wet clothes outside."
Everyone works together and has a clear goal.
Grilled crab for grilled crabs, grilled clothes for grilled clothes.
Eating hot grilled crabs and wearing dried clothes, everyone finally felt warmer.
Ling Yao saw that these people relied on her secret help, as well as their own unity, even in the face of disaster, their faces were finally full of happiness.
The fire, it seems, is hope.
There was a little fire in those dark eyes.
Sure enough, it was raining heavily outside, and everyone gathered around the fire to make jokes.
Ling Yao was also given a roasted crab, but she didn't eat it, just ate two wild cucumbers.
"Brother Cowherd, how can you fill your stomach with so much food?"
A man brought two more crabs.
