Try to believe

The only clay pot was broken. Except for Fu Ning who was still not very sensible, Luo and Fu An, the grandfather and grandson, all had sad expressions on their faces.

Yu Ying took some red mushrooms from the house and walked out. She also took some wild vegetables and radishes that had not been processed in the yard and washed them.

While cleaning the red mushrooms, Fu An stared at her without blinking, his eyes as big as copper bells, fearing that she would poison them.

Yu Ying didn't care. While washing the wild cucumbers, she ate a few. The sweetness melted in her mouth, and the bitterness in her heart was diluted a little.

But when she ate the wild fruit, Fu An couldn't help swallowing several times. Even the little girl Fu Ning was so greedy that she started sucking her fingers, which was quite pitiful.

It's not tasty to eat alone, but eating too much of the fruit is not good either, so Yu Ying only filled half a bowl with it. She didn't give it directly to Fu An and Funing, but gave it to Luo Shi.

Mrs. Luo saw a vague figure and knew it was Mrs. Yu. Because Mrs. Yu had treated Erlang's leg today, her attitude had improved a lot. She asked, "What's wrong?"

Yu Ying took Luo's calloused hands and placed the wooden bowl in them. Her attitude was neither cold nor warm. She said calmly, "Eat some wild fruits first to fill your stomach."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his work.

Mrs. Luo held the bowl, her face a little stunned, and she was not used to Mrs. Yu's kindness for a while.

At this time, Fu An came over and stood beside his grandmother, whispering, "Grandma, I'm watching. She hasn't tampered with the fruit."

Although the voice was small, it reached Yu Ying's ears.

Yu Ying squatted down beside the fire rack, picking at the still sparking firewood in the fire. After a moment's thought, her tone became more teasing: "Since you dared to treat my legs and eyes, are you still afraid that I will poison you?"

When Mrs. Luo heard this, she was silent for a moment, then she found a wild fruit and put it in her mouth.

Originally, he just wanted to make sure there was no problem before giving it to the children, but after tasting the sweetness of the wild fruit, his face suddenly froze.

All the sweet wild fruits around here have been picked. There are no fruits as sweet as these except in the mountains.

"You went into the mountains?!" Luo's face turned serious.

Yu Ying didn't hide it from her: "It went in, but not deep."

Luo's expression grew even graver. "The wild beasts and venomous snakes in those mountains are extremely dangerous. Countless people in this village have been eaten by wild beasts, and countless others have been poisoned by venomous snakes. Others avoid the mountains, so how dare you enter?!"

Luo's tone was a little anxious, but Yu Ying knew that Luo was kind-hearted, so she didn't get angry. She just said slowly, "If I could survive, I would naturally not go into the mountains."

She knew that the ancients revered mountains, but she didn't know they were afraid of them to this extent.

She stood up and looked out of the yard, at the village ahead that was shrouded in dusk. All she could see were dilapidated thatched houses.

Not only the Fu family is poor, but the entire Lingshui Village is poor.

Yu Ying asked her helplessly, "If we want to survive, eating only wild vegetables without oil or salt every day, can we live like this? Even if adults can bear it, can children bear it? Can Erlang in the house bear it?"

She paused, then continued, "I know the mountains are dangerous, and I'm afraid, but I can't just sit there and wait for something good to happen."

How could Luo not know what Yu was talking about?

Mrs. Luo couldn't refute. She lowered her head and handed the bowl of fruit to her grandson after a while: "Take it and eat with Ningning."

Fu An hesitated for a moment, looked at Yu Ying, then looked at the wild fruits in the bowl that were still dripping with water and were mouth-watering. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and didn't know whether he should give in.

But after a while, he figured it out.

He just doesn't get along with the Yu family, why should he have a problem with food?

He took the bowl and ran to his sister. He fed his sister a pill without eating it himself.

After little Funing ate a sweet wild fruit, a smile suddenly appeared on his dirty little face, and his little fangs were faintly visible.

Fu An fed his sister and took one to taste himself.

Fu An hadn't eaten sweet wild fruits for two years since his father went to the quarry. When he ate the wild fruits, a smile appeared on Fu An's face that Yu Ying had never seen before.

Yu Ying withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and continued to work, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose slightly.

After Yu Ying dug out the firewood with sparks, she also took out the pottery fragments that were larger than her palm from the fire, cleaned them and set them aside.

Afterwards, she used a hatchet to chop a piece of remaining bamboo, a thumb-sized thin bamboo, into eight thick bamboo sticks.

After simply sharpening the bamboo skewers, I threaded the red mushrooms onto them. After stringing them together, I placed them horizontally on two stones. I got up and went out to the yard to pick up a few larger stones and built a simple barbecue stove about a foot long.

When I was a child, when there were no barbecue grills, my family would use a few bricks to make barbecue.

Finally, he placed the firewood with sparks into the ravine and used some dry leaves to reignite the fire.

After the fire stabilized, Yu Ying placed the skewered red mushrooms horizontally on it, and finally put the piece of pottery jar fragment on the fire to roast.

After a while, the water stains on the pottery shards slowly began to boil.

Seeing this, Yu Ying picked the wild amaranth into pieces about half a finger long and placed them on the pottery shards.

Because there was no oil, both the wild vegetables and the red mushrooms would easily become burnt or scorched, so Yu Ying sprinkled some water on them from time to time.

Turn over the red mushrooms every once in a while, or use bamboo chopsticks to turn over the wild vegetables.

Gradually, the roasted red mushrooms gave off a faint roasted aroma.

Fu An sniffed the scent and looked at the half-cooked poisonous mushroom, thinking that no matter how fragrant the poisonous mushroom was, he would never eat a bite of it.

Seeing that the wild vegetables were cooked, Yu Ying put them into the bowl, picked up the crushed vegetables she had just washed and crushed them directly, and the purple-black juice dripped into the wild vegetables.

Squeeze a few fruits and then stir evenly.

A few bites of wild vegetables are not enough to fill my stomach, but having a bite to fill my stomach is better than going hungry.

She handed it to Fu An: "Bring it in to your uncle first."

Fu An looked at his grandmother hesitantly: "She didn't put any poisonous red mushrooms in it."

Luo thought about it for a while and felt that what Yu said was right.

If she had doubted her, she shouldn't have asked her to help heal Jiro's leg in the first place.

Moreover, if Yu really wanted to poison them, she could have poisoned the water tank at night. Why would she poison the food now?

Thinking of this, Luo chose to trust Yu for once. She turned to her grandson and said, "Send it to my uncle."

Fu An listened to Luo's words the most. After getting her permission, he gave the bowl with a few wild fruits to his sister, picked up the bowl with wild vegetables and trotted towards the thatched hut.

Yu Ying again selected the vegetables, placed them on the pottery shards and began to fry them.

In the house.

After the bones were adjusted and reset, Fu Wei slept weakly for the whole afternoon until he woke up with a "bang".

The noise in the yard came into the house through the window with rolled-up straw curtains. He sat up on the bamboo bed, looked out of the yard, and saw Yu's busy figure.

This Yu family is a little different.

But what if they are different?

Fu Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, looked away, and looked at his legs which were tied with bamboo, and fell into deep thought.

If you look into it, Yu's change is not good for anyone.

At this time, the bamboo curtain was lifted, and Fu An came over with wild vegetables and placed them on the edge of the bed.

"Uncle, that woman did it."

Fu Wei's eyes turned slightly and fell on the wild vegetables in the bowl. They looked better than before.

After being silent for a while, he finally took it in his hand, picked up some with bamboo chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Fu An watched his uncle eat it closely and asked curiously, "Does it taste different from what grandma makes?"

Fu Wei took a quick bite and tasted a different flavor.

It is still oil-free and salt-free, but it has a light sweet fragrance, and the original sour taste of the wild vegetables is also covered up. Although it is not delicious yet, it is much more delicious than the wild vegetables that were difficult to swallow before.

After a while, Fu An ran out of the house holding the empty food and said excitedly, "Grandma, my uncle has finished eating everything today!"

Upon hearing this, Luo was surprised.

On weekdays, Erlang would only eat a few bites for lunch or dinner and would not eat more. Luo Shi did not expect that he could finish it today.

Yu Ying turned her head and looked in the direction of the thatched hut. After meeting those black eyes in mid-air, she withdrew her gaze, picked up the almost cooked red mushrooms, and placed them horizontally on the bowl.

The roasted red mushrooms were even more fragrant than before. Little girl Ningning didn't know whether they were poisonous or not. She only knew that the red mushrooms looked delicious, and she looked at them without blinking.

Because of malnutrition, his face is very small, so his eyes appear particularly large.

Yu Ying felt distressed when she thought of the little girl's premature death.

She thought that she should do her best to change the fate of Fu Jia Dalang being crushed to death. Perhaps only in this way could she change the fate of this family.

The third round of wild vegetables on the pottery shards was ready. Yu Ying put her mind at ease, picked up all the wild vegetables and put them into the bowl, and continued with the fourth round.

It wasn't until the fifth time that she stopped.

After squeezing the sweet juice of the wild fruits into the wild vegetables, they were divided into three portions. Yu Ying asked Fu An to come and serve them to his grandmother and sister.

Yu Ying had no intention of taking the initiative to share the red mushrooms with them.

After all, a person's mindset isn't easily changed. She thought the red mushroom wasn't poisonous, but the Fu family, and even the entire village, thought it was. At this point, arguing about right and wrong was pointless.

After sorting the weeds, Yu Ying picked up a bunch of red mushrooms, blew off the ash on them, and then took a bite.

Yu Ying, who had eaten all kinds of delicious food, felt at this moment that the roasted red mushrooms were the most delicious of all the food she had ever eaten.

After Mrs. Luo tasted the wild vegetables prepared by Mrs. Yu, she was stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt that the wild vegetables she had prepared before were all pig food.

There is obviously no seasoning, just a little bit of sweet juice from wild fruits, why is there such a big difference?

Just now, although Mrs. Luo couldn't see, Fu An's little mouth told the whole process of Yu Ying cooking.

Seeing Yu Ying eat the red mushroom and the wild vegetables with great relish, Fu An's eyes widened and he said to his grandmother in disbelief, "Grandma, she, she ate poisonous mushrooms!"

When Luo heard Fu'an say that Yu had eaten the poisonous mushroom, he was shocked at first, but then he began to doubt whether the red mushroom was really poisonous.

After a long silence, Luo finally spoke and asked Yu Ying, "Is that mushroom really non-toxic?"

Yu Ying said truthfully, "Not all brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous. I've eaten this kind of mushroom before, and it's non-toxic. But don't worry, I won't force you to eat it."

Mrs. Luo hesitated for a moment, then seemed to compromise. She handed her the bowl and said, "Give me some too."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ying looked surprised.

Fu An was even more surprised and quickly advised: "Grandma, those are poisonous mushrooms, you can't eat them!"

Mrs. Luo hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandma believes your aunt."

Yu Ying was a little uncomfortable when she suddenly heard the name "Auntie". She was also surprised that Luo's attitude changed so quickly.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Ying finally put a red mushroom into Luo's bowl and said, "Try it first. If you think it's okay, give it to Fu An and Funing."

Luo took back the bowl and was about to pick up the red mushroom, but it was suddenly snatched away by Fu An, who grabbed the red mushroom with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it a few times quickly and swallowed it into his throat like a warrior cutting his wrists.

Judging from the situation, he seems to want to test the poison first.

But after eating the red mushroom, his frowning expression gradually changed.

He blinked and thought: Although this poisonous mushroom is poisonous, it is quite delicious...
