As soon as Brother Cheng Yuandong left, Mingyi ran to dig wild vegetables, saying that digging wild vegetables was just digging wild vegetables, and there was absolutely no excuse.
Cheng Mingli was surprised for a moment, thinking she was just talking, who knew she was actually going to dig!
Cheng Yuanxi saw his son stunned, shook his head and chuckled, "Go looking for wild vegetables, what are you doing stupidly?"
"Oh~" Cheng Mingli ran to his sister and looked for wild vegetables next to her.
Cheng Yuanxi's smile did not diminish, he put the water bag on his waist and started to dig wild vegetables; after half a month, he could eat fresh wild vegetables again, and they were green~
"Dad, how long do we have to walk to reach Yanhai?" Mingyi asked while digging wild vegetables.
"It's almost half a month away; we've been traveling for more than two months, almost three months, so it should be soon." In fact, he wasn't sure. After all, he had never been there. He just heard what business people said.
Cheng Mingli stopped what he was doing and looked up in confusion not far away, "Then can we settle down?"
Cheng Yuanxi was speechless, "Should, can I?"
Forehead?
Cheng Mingli turned to look at his father, seriously?
Cheng Yuanxi nodded to express his seriousness.
Mingyi clearly saw the cleverness of the father and son, "Father, brother, we have money. If there is still drought in the coastal area, don't leave. When you settle down and find a way to live, you will have to rely on the sea."
Find a way to survive.
The seaside is rich in resources, but there is no way to go to the sea. If you can go to the sea and find one or two islands with rich resources, it will be comfortable.
"We'll see then." Cheng Yuanxi said.
Cheng Mingli was unsure.
Mingyi felt that even if there was a drought in Yanhai, she could not leave, and it would be useless to leave again; a natural disaster was coming, who knew whether it would be a flood or something else, so she had to be mentally prepared.
It's a pity that she can't say this.
There was no way to say it, and no evidence; the entire clan was here, let alone other clan members, and even her own grandfather would not believe it.
What followed was endless silence, each digging wild vegetables until Cheng Yuandong and others came to find them.
"Uncle San." Cheng Mingzhi and others shouted.
"Here you are, go get the water while others dig wild vegetables. We finally encountered fresh wild vegetables. Dig more and you can eat them today." After Cheng Yuanxi finished speaking, he continued to dig.
The eldest son of Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Mingzhi was responsible for collecting water. Cheng Minglian and Cheng Mingxin took a casual look and each found a place with plenty of wild vegetables to squat.
Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan saw that nothing happened to them, so they also ran to gather wild vegetables.
After the two large pots were filled with water, the group of people walked back with the iron pots on wooden supports; it took two people to lift the iron pot, and there were no ropes to fix the branches. Mingyi and Mingli also came in handy, helping to hold the pot horizontally. The book knows how to fix the iron pot to prevent it from running away.
The way down the mountain is particularly difficult. Once the iron pot tilts, it will fall out. After carrying it for such a long distance, it would be a waste if the water overflows; it is a waste of time, energy, manpower and material resources.
Therefore, they were extra careful and naturally walked slower.
It was close to noon before returning to the camp.
"They're back."
A crisp shout rang out, Mingyi raised her eyes and saw that it was Cheng Mingyue.
Is this kid going to cause trouble again?
When Mingyi was confused, she saw Cheng Mingyue also looking over, even raising her chin provocatively, with a proud look that was truly indescribable.
Why are you so proud?
Is there something wrong?
Mingyi withdrew her gaze and walked towards Chen Daya. When she came closer, she took her mother's arm and said with a bright smile, "Mom, we found water. This time it's mountain spring water. It's delicious."
"I know you found the water. It is said that you found it." Chen Daya was held by her daughter with one hand and patted her back with the other. "My Yiyi family is really amazing. Every time we go out, we can always find something." .”
The same goes for searching for water. The people who followed them came back before them, and none of them found the water source. The people who had gone back had come back, and they were all frustrated.
Mingyi smiled lightly and said with a light look on her face, "Mom, we won't be afraid of running out of water for a while."
"It's a good thing that we can continue on our way." Chen Daya nodded, looked at the three brothers and Cheng Mingyi who were surrounded by tribesmen, and shook his head silently, "Did you find much water?"
"I don't know. The water flowing out is small, but it keeps flowing."
Chen Daya nodded, "Well, you and your brother should find a place to rest for a while. The sun is getting stronger and stronger."
"Okay." Mingyi ran to the crowd and pulled out her brother. Seeing that her father and the others were surrounded and unable to come out, the tribesmen were still chattering and asking questions. The main idea was to ask about the source of water.
Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan helped maintain the water. These were two large pots of water that they had brought down so hard that they could not be splashed by their saliva.
Cheng Yuanxi felt uncomfortable being surrounded. The weather was already hot, but it became even hotter when there were more people. Everyone was still talking, and the heat was running straight towards them, making it even hotter.
"Okay, okay, let's leave now and let Yuan Xi and the others take a breather. Let's take a rest before we talk about water. We are all members of the same clan. If Yuan Xi and the others discover water, they won't watch you feel uncomfortable without telling them. Yours." The clan leader stepped forward and sent them away.
However, Mingyi heard that was not the case.
It's not that she is petty, she always feels that the clan leader's tone is too natural.
However, she couldn't say anything about the ancient clan. If a younger generation could contribute to the clan, it was considered capable and honorable in the eyes of the older generation.
"Yuanxi will not monopolize the water source. Let our family Mingyi take everyone there in the afternoon. Now let's give way and let us have a meal first, okay?" Cheng Yuanxi said in a natural voice after returning from the journey with a dry mouth and a hot head. A little rushed.
The clan leader nodded, "Have a good rest. Let's disperse first. In the afternoon, Mingyi will take everyone to find the water source."
Everyone then dispersed. Mingyi took Mingli and ran to dig out the bowls for eating. When the iron pot was put down, they ran over holding a stack of bowls.
"Dad, uncle and uncle, cousins, take a drink of water and rest for a while."
"Yiyi is still sensible." Cheng Yuandong smiled happily, someone else's daughter is a little cotton-padded jacket!
Cheng Yuannan took a bowl, poured a bowl of water into one of the large iron pots, and drank. He drank it, and instantly let out a sigh of relief.
"Cool!"
Others followed suit, and although they drank boldly, they didn't waste even a drop of water.
After drinking a bowl of water, their thirst was quenched. They sat on the floor and took a few deep breaths. When they drank the water, they took one breath and sat down directly on the ground, feeling dizzy from the heat.
"Bring over the cooked meal." Luo Cuihua greeted her daughters-in-law.
Li Lianhua, Feng Juhua and Chen Daya stepped forward to help set the meal. They only had a few sets of bowls and chopsticks, and the pots were placed at the table. Luo Cuihua was responsible for dividing the porridge.
Wild vegetable porridge, mostly wild vegetables, brown rice porridge mixed with a little refined grains.
In this way, it is not easy to be noticed by others, but it can also nourish the body; it will not cause too much damage to the body. A big pot of porridge will look too much, and one bowl for each person will eat up more than half.
If you are not full, you can change the bowl.
