There are many edible wild vegetables on the back mountain of Houyang Village. Compared with the back mountain of Qingyang Village, there seem to be more types of wild vegetables on this mountain.
In less than an hour, they found seven or eight edible wild vegetables in the surrounding mountains.
"I didn't expect there to be so many edible wild vegetables on this mountain."
Bai Heng was following Wang Sihai, and Bai Heng also heard some of what they said.
"The resources in the mountains are very rich. As long as you know how to do it, most of the people living on the mountains will never starve to death."
Having said this, Ying Qingci paused for a moment, and then said, "Sometimes, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish. Only in this way can we help the refugees to the greatest extent."
Just like, if you give a refugee a meal, they will look forward to the next meal, forgetting that they were also farmers who could grow crops before fleeing.
Giving them stability makes them forget the feeling of running around and working hard for life, and it also increases their laziness.
Therefore, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish.
After Wang Sihai heard Ying Qingci's words, he suddenly straightened up. Ying Qingci's words made him suddenly enlightened.
"That's what the girl said."
Before, he had been thinking about how to settle the refugees and how to prevent them from going hungry, but he forgot that even with disaster relief food, they still had to live.
If they get used to receiving subsidies from the government, it will not be good news for their future.
Now they can receive appropriate subsidies, but it is true that they cannot be provided by the government every time.
"Of course, Master Wang, these are just my personal opinions, don't mind."
For some reason, Ying Qingci always felt that Wang Sihai... always seemed a little... cautious in front of her?
Is it her imagination?
Could it be because?
She glanced at Wang Sihai and said nothing more. She glanced around, and when her peripheral vision caught sight of the withered plants not far away, Ying Qingci's steps stagnated.
There was a dying plant growing there. She stepped forward and took a look. The upper part of the plant had withered, and only the root system was still faintly alive, but it was very weak.
"Miss Ying, can this plant be eaten?" Bai Heng saw Ying Qingci in front of a dying plant and couldn't help but frowned in confusion, "But, is this plant about to die?"
"This is not an edible plant, but a wild flower." As she said that, Ying Qingci took out a small shovel from her backpack, carefully dug out the entire plant, and instilled some nutrients into it where no one else could see it. The vitality of life.
"I'll take it back and see if I can save it."
Bai Heng glanced at her with admiration. She was really a kind-hearted girl.
If it were anyone else, their request to go up the mountain would probably be rejected. Miss Ying deserves their respect.
Although it is half dead now, judging from its appearance, it has long oval leaves, lush branches and leaves, and dense flowers. Although it is extremely dry, it can still be vaguely recognized.
This dying plant should be Jianlan. Like the Paphiopedilum she saved before, they are both rare plants and both belong to the orchid family.
Putting away the Jianlan, Ying Qingci followed the others and walked towards the mountain.
The mountains are full of greenery, with tall trees standing in the sky, with only a few withered yellow spots occasionally. The breeze blew slowly, rustling the leaves, and picked up the layers of fallen leaves on the ground.
The sun shines through the treetops, falls on the gaps in the forest, and sprinkles on the ground, dappled and dripping. The catcher on the side is panting from exhaustion.
"Sir, if you go further in, you will reach deep mountains."
Wang Sihai also had anxiety in his eyes. Although he encountered a lot of plants along the way, there was still no trace of food that could really satisfy his hunger.
"Sir, we are all tired. Why don't we take a rest before continuing on our way?"
Bai Heng took a look around. The detectives were all sweating profusely from exhaustion. Needless to say, he himself felt a little thirsty now.
"Okay, let's take a rest first and replenish our strength."
Wang Sihai took a look and found that they had also been searching on the mountain all morning, and they must be tired now.
Ying Qingci nodded and took out the food he had brought with him from his backpack, but his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.
"Sir, here it is." Bai Heng stepped forward and handed a piece of cake to Wang Sihai. Wang Sihai reached out to take it, but his eyes fell on the dried meat in Ying Qingci's hand.
It was obviously very ordinary dried meat, but for some reason, when he saw Ying Qing's valuable things, he remembered the warm banquet he had at Ying's house. Although the food was ordinary, it reminded him of it. endless.
Ying Qingci's perception of the outside world was very keen, so she naturally noticed Wang Sihai's gaze and the movements of her hands.
"Master Wang, do you want to eat some?"
Ask politely.
"Thank you very much, Miss Ying."
Wang Sihai was a little embarrassed, but he held it back for a while, but still couldn't hold back the desire in his heart.
Bai Heng was a little surprised by this. After all, he knew their family very well and would never take anything away from the people, but now...
"Captain Bai, I still have some here, take it and share it with the others."
Since it was given to Wang Sihai, Ying Qingci cannot pretend that he didn't see it.
"Okay, I thanked the girl for them."
"Miss Ying, I see that you seem to know the mountains very well, as well as the edible plants in the mountains. Have you often gone to the mountains before?"
Ying Qingci's eyes flashed slightly. The original owner was indeed pampered by her family in the past and was somewhat indiscriminate, but she was not the original owner.
"Part of it is the influence of people in my family, and part of it is taught to me by an old man I met at the foot of the mountain when I was a child."
"Old man?"
"Well, the old man seemed to be passing by our village at that time, and I happened to show her the way. He taught me for a few days, and then left me some books and left."
Wang Sihai looked suspicious, but couldn't find any flaws in this argument. He could only nod and took a bite of the dried meat in his hand.
When the dried meat entered his mouth, the aroma instantly filled his mouth. Sure enough, this dried meat did not disappoint him.
In addition, the other detectives also ate the dried meat Bai Heng gave them, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Boss, isn't this meaty and delicious?"
"Yes, yes, it is strong and fragrant, with a hint of sweetness..."
Bai Heng took a bite and looked at his master with some confusion. He didn't expect that he would have such a heavy appetite.
"Miss Ying gave this to us. If you want to thank me, thank Miss Ying."
"Thank you, Miss Ying!"
"Thank you!"
Ying Qingci smiled at them and didn't say much.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on the grass not far away. She stepped forward, pushed aside the grass, and picked up a small, slightly black fruit...
