Old Mrs. Huang walked around in the forest for a while, feeling a little disappointed. It seemed that she had gained nothing today.
Fu Bao had already fallen asleep in the basket, and she began to dream again. She floated and could see everything here clearly.
She saw the two hedgehogs under the branch. She picked up the hedgehogs and threw them towards Old Mrs. Huang. Old Mrs. Huang was startled and said, "Hey! Hedgehogs! Not bad, not bad, quite fat."
Hedgehogs can also be sold and are considered game. Mrs. Huang threw the hedgehog into Huang Nianmei's basket.
Old Mrs. Huang led them back and forth, and unknowingly they had reached the mountains. She pretended to have something on her mind and didn't pay much attention.
Suddenly, they saw a snake entangled in a tree, staring at them coldly.
Mrs. Huang was startled. She was only 20 centimeters away from the snake.
This snake is a venomous snake. The venomous snake suddenly tilted its neck and fell to the ground. Is this the first snake to fall to death?
Fu Bao looked at the snake with a smile and continued to look for good things. The main reason was that the life of the people in the village was too hard. She couldn't change much, but she could save a little.
After all, she didn't want to die young. At this moment, she didn't know whether it was because of sympathy or because of her own longevity.
Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she actually saw kudzu root. Fu Bao turned around and found that a large area here was actually filled with kudzu root.
Fu Bao was overjoyed. She remembered here that Pueraria lobata can be used as a staple food. Pueraria lobata can be ground into powder to make soup, brewed into tea, made into soup, or mixed with rice to eat together.
This large area can help many people, but she is not in a hurry. She will wait until she finishes digging the yams!
She found a few more pheasants and threw them all to Mrs. Huang. Mrs. Huang quickly put the six pheasants away and sent them to the town in exchange for some food.
Mrs. Huang took stock of today's prey with a smile, and then went home with Fu Bao on her back.
As soon as they walked to the road, they saw Li Xiaoqin holding Sanya walking in the mountains. She usually didn't go out.
She looked at Old Mrs. Huang and said, "You are also going up the mountain to look for food now. It seems that your family is so poor that you are almost chewing tree bark, right?"
Several women nearby gathered around and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk... You have a cow at home, why are you so poor? Let me see, what is in your basket?"
Qian Xiu'e grabbed Huang Nianmei's basket directly, and suddenly caught something soft. She was delighted, how could this look like meat?
She grabbed it directly, said "Ah" when she saw it, and fell to the ground: "Snake...snake!"
Douya and Gu Chunhua next to them were also trembling with fear. Li Xiaoqin trembled and said, "Do you really dare to eat anything?"
Old Mrs. Huang glared at her fiercely and said, "Yes, if the situation gets too urgent, I'll even kill them."
Fu Bao stood up from his backpack with a smile and asked, "Is human flesh delicious?"
Li Xiaoqin was startled when she saw Fu Bao suddenly appeared. Fu Bao looked at her, it seemed that he hadn't learned his lesson last time!
Should she let her spend another night in the latrine?
Li Xiaoqin took the others and ran away. When she got home, Old Mrs. Huang said: "We can't tell anyone what happened in the mountains. If anyone does, I will starve him to death."
Huang Nianmei repeatedly stated that she would never tell anyone.
Lunch was thick rice porridge. Mrs. Huang prepared rice for them and then started to make lunch for Fu Bao.
At noon, I stewed eggs and added rice paste. As soon as it was done, Huangdou's mother came in with Huangdou.
She looked at the stewed eggs on the table and said, "Hey! Auntie, we're having lunch! Do you want to eat stewed eggs? It's so delicious..."
Fu Bao also put a little sesame oil on his stewed eggs. Mrs. Huang said expressionlessly: "Put the soybeans there and let them eat them together."
Huang Dou's mother said: "I brought a bowl. Why don't you put some rice and stewed eggs in it? I'll take it back and feed it slowly."
Old Mrs. Huang snorted coldly: "The extra Fu Bao from my family will be distributed to this child. What? You still want to take it back?"
Huang Dou’s mother quickly said: “Didn’t he have several brothers?”
"You mean I have to support your family?" Mrs. Huang frowned and said, "Do you want to eat? If you don't want to eat, get out."
Mother Soybean was so angry that her chest hurt. She put the soybean heavily on the stool and said, "It's the same for the big ones, and it's the same for the little ones. Aren't they all the same?"
Mrs. Huang snorted coldly and ignored her, so she left in anger.
Huang Dou looked at Fu Bao pitifully, and Fu Bao sighed: "Don't be afraid, I will protect... protect... protect you."
Why is it so difficult to protect someone?
Fu Bao gave him half of the rice cereal and egg custard. After eating, Fu Bao took Soybean to play in the yard.
There are many vegetables planted in the yard, and butterflies and bees fly over from time to time.
Soybean can walk, but the speed is slower than Fubao. Fubao squats in the yard and looks at her little gray rabbits. These little gray rabbits can survive by eating grass, and they have grown fat and strong in just a few months. .
She thought that if she kept breeding rabbits, she would have a steady stream of money.
Just as she was thinking about it, Aunt Zhou came in wiping her tears and said, "Sister, I'm here to pick up my Doudou."
Seeing her crying, Old Mrs. Huang said helplessly: "What's wrong with you?"
Aunt Zhou sighed and said:
"Old sister, why do you think my life is so miserable? Doudou's mother went back and told me today.
Why should I be nice to Doudou? Other children would have to suffer and starve. Just like Doudou, wouldn't he die if he didn't save him? "
People's hearts are biased. Mrs. Huang is partial to Fu Bao, but Doudou's mother is partial to Doudou's eldest brother. On the contrary, the youngest Huang Dou is not favored by others.
Mrs. Huang sighed, patted her shoulder and said, "It will be fine when the child grows up."
After they returned, Old Mrs. Huang sighed and carried Fu Bao into the house.
After waiting for the people to come back, Old Mrs. Huang discussed with Old Man Huang before going to call the village chief.
The village chief looked at Old Mrs. Huang and said, "What? Yam?"
Old Mrs. Huang nodded and said: "Yes, what I mean is, find a few tight-lipped people, let's dig yams together in the mountains, and then each family will share a little, at least we can survive for a while."
The village chief suddenly knelt down towards Old Mrs. Huang, frightening Old Mrs. Huang and said, "What are you doing? You scared me to death, you scared me to death..."
"I just want to thank you on behalf of the people in our village." At this time, not many people can say this.
Old Mrs. Huang looked at him and said, "It's useless for you to thank me. You have to thank our Fubao for this. She discovered the yam, right Fubao?"
The village chief stood up and said with tears in his eyes: "The blessing is not only your family's blessing, but also the blessing of our entire Huangjia Village!"
Fu Bao got goosebumps from what he said, could he not be so disgusting?
That night, the village chief took eighteen strong men and dug all night. Only when the rooster crowed in the morning did the yams enter the village warehouse.
The next day, food was distributed in Huangjiacun...
