After lunch, Mrs. Tang and Xuan Zhenzhu went to work, and Tang Manjin also went to earn work points. Tang Mantong was basically homeless, either on business trips or on business trips, and was busier than the commune president.
Tang Niannian was the only one left at home again, and the little Jiujin girl also went out to play with her friends.
Tang Niannian went out with a basket on his back. He purposely passed by a group of villagers working and walked slowly.
"Nian girl, what are you going to do?" someone asked loudly.
"Pull out bamboo shoots. There are many bamboo shoots on the mountain over there."
Tang Niannian pointed to the mountain in front of him. It was far away from Zhou Siming's mountain.
"There are indeed a lot of bamboo shoots over there, but there are also a lot of snakes. Nian girl, please be careful." Someone kindly reminded me.
Now that the weather is hot, all the snakes and insects on the mountain have emerged, and you can often encounter them when going up the mountain.
"If you see it, grab it and make soup!"
Tang Niannian said expressionlessly, there is still a shameless snake in her space, it has been released several times, but it has come back again.
The villagers all laughed, and they didn't think Tang Niannian was talking nonsense. Rural girls are very courageous, and few are afraid of snakes and insects. In the past, when there was a famine, being able to eat a snake would make people happier than gods.
It's a pity that during famine, not even a single insect can be found, let alone snakes. They may all starve to death.
In front of many villagers, Tang Niannian slowly walked away and climbed up the mountain.
But as soon as she reached the mountain, she took a shortcut to Zhou Siming's side. Normal people would definitely not be able to climb over it because she had to climb over a cliff and she would fall down if she was not careful.
But Tang Niannian could do it easily.
About ten minutes later, she arrived and hid in the bushes. Zhou Siming and the others did not notice that Tang Niannian was squatting in boredom. There was a bush of walnuts on her left, and the fruit was still green, not blue.
There is a pokeweed plant on the right, and the fruit is also green, not purple. When she was a child, she used pokeweed fruits to dye her nails, but nothing happened. Sure enough, human cubs have a novice protection period.
There is also a clump of red sorrel near my right foot, with small red flowers that are particularly lush.
Tang Niannian yawned. She was extremely bored. She took out her knife and dug out a few sorrel plants. They looked like crystal clear radishes. She wiped them on her pants casually and stuffed them into her mouth to eat. They tasted sweet and crunchy. good.
She grabbed a handful of Bangbangui leaves and stuffed them into her mouth. It was slightly better than Suanjinjin, not so sour. She preferred eating the blue fruits of Bangbangui, which were sweet.
Gangbangui, also called Snake Tuicao, a childhood snack
Red sorrel is also a clover, and there are also ones with small yellow flowers.
The root is like this
Phytolacca is poisonous and very powerful.
Tang Niannian looked at the entrance of the cave while chewing grass.
These people worked enthusiastically, carrying stones one after another. These stones were moved by her to block them. There was room to transport them, so it didn't take too much time.
It was cloudy today, the sun was not shining, and there were still a few low dark clouds in the sky. Zhou Siming looked up at the sky, his brows knitted together.
"Hurry up, it's going to rain!"
Zhou Siming drank, and then said coldly to Liu Kangri, who was standing beside him, "You go to work too!"
Stupid and lazy, I hate it once I watch it.
Liu Kangri was stunned and looked at Zhou Siming in disbelief. He thought he was joking, but when he saw the cold and disgusted look in Mr. Zhou's eyes, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that Zhou Siming was not joking.
"I...I've never done any of these jobs!"
Liu Kangri didn't want to do it. He had never done such rough work since he was born.
Although the Liu family is not a wealthy family, he was born and raised in fine clothing and food. Even during the war years, he never suffered hardship. It should be said that the most miserable time in his life was after liberation.
But he has never done such menial work. This is done by low-class people.
How could he, the dignified eldest son of the Liu family, do the work of a lower class person?
"If you don't want to do it, do you want me to do it?"
Zhou Siming sarcastically said, he really treated himself as a toy.
Liu Kangri gritted his teeth, and when he lowered his head, his eyes were full of hatred, but soon he raised his head with a smile on his face, "Of course I can't let Duke Zhou do it, I'll go right away!"
What's more, after he takes advantage of the Zhou family to achieve great success, he will definitely let that bastard Zhou Siming know how powerful he is!
It's just a matter of good luck. Why are you dragging her in front of him?
Liu Kangri gritted his teeth and went into the cave to work. It was a pity that he had a small body and a delicate body. He had never experienced such hardship. He could not even lift half a load of stones. He walked awkwardly and finally picked it out. I fell again at the entrance of the cave and my glasses were broken.
Zhou Siming frowned, what a waste!
Liu Kangri touched his glasses and found that one of the lenses was broken. It was his left eye with high prescription. He only had one lens. After putting it on, his vision was blurry, and he almost dropped it after taking a few steps.
Zhou Siming looked at his stumbling figure coldly, with an expressionless face and contemptuous eyes, and did not stop.
Liu Kangri waited for a long time, but did not wait for Zhou Siming to say anything. The hatred in his heart reached a high point, but he did not show it on his face, and he still picked the rocks obediently.
He endures it!
There will always be time for revenge in the future!
"Rumble..."
A thunder exploded, and Liu Kangri just walked out of the cave. He staggered with fright and almost fell down.
"How long will it take?" Zhou Siming asked coldly.
"About ten minutes!"
The subordinate replied.
Zhou Siming's brows relaxed as a few raindrops fell from the sky and hit him on the face.
"Master, please go into the cave to take shelter from the rain."
one of his men shouted.
Zhou Siming nodded and entered the hole.
The cave was not very wide, the moisture was heavy, and the mud on the ground turned into shit. Zhou Siming found a slightly cleaner place to stand.
"boom……"
The thunder became louder and louder, and dense raindrops fell. Zhou Siming's men worked in the rain. After more than ten minutes, they finally finished picking out all the stones.
"Walk!"
Zhou Siming couldn't hide his excitement, his tone rose, and even the mud on the ground was pleasing to the eye. He led all his men towards the cave, with Liu Kangri at the end.
Tang Niannian emerged from the bushes, chewing a grass stem in her mouth. She wiped the rain off her face and climbed lightly to the top of the hole. The position where she stood was exactly where she split it with a hammer yesterday.
"boom……"
A thick bolt of lightning suddenly appeared, splitting the sky in half, followed by huge thunder and heavy rain.
The corners of Tang Niannian's mouth raised, "God is so powerful, it's great!"
She took out a big hammer from the space in and out, channeled enough energy into her Dantian, and smashed it downwards. The huge impact sound was covered by the thunder, and she hit it three times in a row.
"boom……"
The place where Tang Niannian was standing collapsed, and she quickly retreated to the back and continued to smash.
There were hammering sounds one after another, accompanied by thunder. Tang Niannian was moving very fast. Before Zhou Siming and the others in the cave could react, the way out was blocked by rocks.
Tang Niannian stopped and calculated the distance of the landslide. It was about fifteen meters, which should be enough to bury someone.
Zhou Siming and his friends didn't bring their tools in, they threw them all outside. Even if they had daggers and other tools, they didn't dig them out so quickly.
There was water in it, but no food. These people could last only ten days at most.
Tang Niannian jumped down, put all the tools at the entrance of the cave into the space, and then erased all the footprints and traces on the ground, then jumped off the cliff and ran home in the rain.
After arriving home, Tang Niannian sneezed and quickly boiled water to take a bath.
The rain continued until dark, but it didn't stop, but it just became lighter. After Tang Niannian took a shower, she ran to the stove and sat down. It was called helping Mrs. Tang light the fire, but actually she wanted to roast sweet potatoes.
Tang Niannian threw a few sweet potatoes and potatoes in, and would pull them out from time to time to see if they were cooked. The sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes simmered over firewood were particularly fragrant, and even after eating them, his lips were black.
"Brighter the fire!"
Mrs. Tang stir-fried the vegetables and reminded the fire to be strong, but after she finished speaking for a long time, the fire became weaker and weaker, almost to the point of death, and the vegetables were not even hot anymore. She walked over and looked and saw Tang Niannian in the stove. Damn it, all the good fire is gone.
