MTL - The Leisurely Countryside of the Farmer’s Daughter-in-law-Chapter 9 starving

  Chapter 9 Starving to death

  The two continued to move forward, and found a water pool at a turning point. The water pool was cool and deep under the cliff.

  The third brother Yang Cunli approached the pool and found that the fish inside disappeared in a flash.

  Turning to Yang Lan'er, she shouted excitedly: "Lan'er, there are still fish in this pool. The water is cold, so it's not suitable to enter the water."

  Yang Lan'er held him back and smiled, "Let's meet up with the second brother first, and see what they find?"

  Yang Cunli thought about it too, first meet them and see if they find anything? Now it seems that this valley is very suitable for living. There are caves and water sources. If there is no other exit, the safety problem can be solved. Hmm not bad. He nodded secretly.

   Soon everyone met under the cliff.

   "Second Brother, what did you discover?" Yang Cunli asked impatiently.

  Yang Cunzhi smiled easily, pointed behind him and said, "We walked all the way from there, and found no other exits, and I found that as long as there is no problem with the first line of sky, this valley is very safe."

   Pointing to the right again: "We found a piece of vines over there, and the rest seem to be low shrubs and grass."

  The fourth younger brother Yang Cunyi showed them a vine in his hand, frowned and said, "Oh, it's this kind. There is still white juice when it is broken, is it poisonous?"

  Yang Lan'er saw the vine and grabbed it. He said excitedly: "Sweet potato vine, it's really sweet potato vine. Let's go and have a look."

  The three brothers looked at Yang Lan'er's back inexplicably, and followed quickly.

   Arriving at the sweet potato field, Yang Lan'er was inexplicably excited. He said to Yang Cunzhi behind him: "Second brother, quickly dig out some sweet potatoes. Oh, they are the roots from the ground."

  Looking at this large sweet potato field, I am more determined to let my family move. He bent down and pulled a handful of sweet potato vines, and quickly threw them into the space when they were busy digging sweet potatoes and didn't notice her.

  Yang Cunzhi straightened his waist, held up the sweet potato in his hand and asked, "Lan'er, is this the one? This thing is longer than the potato we started digging. Is it eaten the same way as the potato?"

  Yang Lan'er took the sweet potato and said with a smile: "It's a little different, but it can be eaten as a meal."

   Seeing that the three brothers had already dug enough to eat: "Enough, the second brother and the third brother went to collect firewood, and Cunyi and I went to hunt rabbits. We will go to the pool for barbecue later, and the third brother knows where the water pool is."

  The speed of the division of labor and cooperation between the people was still very fast. After half an hour, Yang Lan'er and Yang Lan'er came back with four rabbits. Asking the three brothers to deal with the rabbits, she dug a shallow pit, buried the sweet potatoes in it, and set firewood directly on top of the pit.

  Just started to burn the fire, because there is no burnt grass and red carbon, the sweet potato is placed directly under the firewood, and it will be directly burned into carbon ash. So use a shallow pit to bury it, and it will be just right when it is cooked.

   Wait for the rabbit to be roasted until it is full of oil, crispy and browned. Everyone salivated when they smelled the fragrance. The two rabbits were shared among the four, and Yang Lan'er refused to eat only one rabbit leg. She wanted to save her stomach for sweet potatoes.

  After eating the roasted rabbit, Yang Lan'er put out the firewood, carefully swept the ashes aside, and released a sweet smell of sweet potatoes.

   "It smells so good, sister, is this the smell of sweet potatoes?" Yang Cunyi took a big bite of the rabbit meat.

"Ok"

  Yang Lan'er picked out all the sweet potatoes, picked a big sweet potato and squeezed it with his hands. Well, it was soft and cooked. He took one and peeled it, took a bite: "Hmm... that's the taste."

   After a few people were full, they began to pack their things. Wrap the remaining two roasted rabbits in leaves and put them in the basket. There are still a dozen roasted sweet potatoes left, and put them all in the basket.

  Yang Lan'er lifted her back basket, looked at the three brothers and said, "Let's go to the sweet potato field, pick some sweet potato leaves, and cook them for dinner."

  The second brother was surprised: "Can you still eat the sweet potato leaves?"

   "Well, the taste is not bad, crisp and refreshing."

  Yang Cunyi heard that it was so delicious, and urged: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, we are going down the mountain after picking."

  Second brother Yang Cunzhi looked up at the sky and said, "It's time to go back after picking the sweet potato leaves."

  Plucked a few handfuls of sweet potato leaves, and they walked quickly to Yixiantian.

  Yang Lan'er walked last, and found a jar from the space with her mind. When passing through the first line of sky, she saw centipedes, so she put them into the jar with chopsticks, and out of the first line of days, she has harvested more than 20 centipedes. Cover with a lid and return to space.

  Go back along the road and pay close attention to the vegetation in the woods. Because no one has set foot there all year round, the products in the deep mountains and old forests are very rich. Going back to the place where the potatoes were placed, Yang Lan'er had already picked three Ganoderma lucidum, and they were at least several decades old.

   Wild Ganoderma lucidum of this quality is hard to find in the 21st century, and it is basically cultivated artificially. There are hundreds of varieties of Ganoderma lucidum in the world, and Sun Simiao, king of medicine, once called the Ganoderma lucidum found in the forest "Qiong Zhen". Later, people called the wild Ganoderma lucidum in this mountain forest "Qiong Zhen Ganoderma lucidum".

   Everyone speeded up on the latter part of the road, and finally reached the foot of the mountain before the sun set.

  The four brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other. In fact, everyone was tense in the inner dense forest. Fortunately, no poisonous snakes and beasts were encountered.

  Yang Lan'er's eyes flashed a sly light, and she glanced at the bushes not far away. Pretentiously shouting to the three brothers: "Brother, I'm almost starving to death, and there is no food to be found on the mountain. What should I do?"

  Yang Lan'er blinked at the three of them, what else did Yang Cunyi want to say?

  Second brother Yang Cunzhi slapped him on the back of the head and shouted loudly: "Why are you still dawdling? You can't die of hunger! Go home!"

  The third elder brother walked home quickly with a suppressed smile, Yang Laner innocently blinked his eyes and followed, Yang Cunyi watched the second elder brother stare, and followed them resentfully.
