Chapter 715 Stir-fried Snails

The situation in Team Five is not good. According to the doctor, the leader had broken his arm and lost too much blood, and remained unconscious for three days before waking up.

When he woke up, he couldn't accept that he had lost his arm. He was yelling and screaming at home and ruined all the vegetables in the yard, making his already poor family even worse off. His family, who had been living well because of his hunting, were disgusted with him.

Although he recovered later, he never had much energy.

With my arm gone, hunting is out of the question; I can only clear land.

His situation is somewhat similar to that of Xu Dali and his family of three. Xu Dali also lost his arm while hunting, but he lost it at the forearm, while the leader of the fifth team lost it at the upper arm.

However, the two had completely different mindsets after waking up. Naturally, the pioneering team would compare the two, and the leader of the fifth team was quickly attacked and made to look worthless, and his family's situation became increasingly difficult.

As for the other members of the five teams, even if they weren't as seriously injured as the leader, they still suffered quite a few injuries.

Two of them suffered severe internal injuries from being slapped by the bear and were no longer able to go into the mountains.

There was another person with minor injuries, but he was still terrified by the scene. After experiencing the loss of his boss's hand, he dared not even venture into the mountains, let alone go hunting.

The fifth team has now completely disbanded.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Shu Yu continued doing her things as usual, and she had almost finished playing with her few rocks, but Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi still hadn't returned.

She was somewhat worried and regretted not asking him more clearly about his whereabouts.

Two days passed, and she gradually got the hang of things at the farm. The snails she had collected last time had almost finished spitting out the sand.

Shu Yu was feeling a bit hungry and decided to stir-fry some snails to treat herself to a nice meal.

After finishing her work in the morning, she returned from the village. Once her schedule was adjusted, she no longer needed to take a nap.

She dragged a stool over and sat in the yard to cut the snails' tails.

Sanya wanted to come and help, but the family only had large scissors, not small ones. Besides, cutting snails required strength, and the little girl's tiny hands could easily poke herself.

Shu Yu didn't let her touch it, and the little girl was quite disappointed. "Second sister, is stir-fried snail really delicious?"

"Haven't Sanya ever eaten this before?"

The little girl shook her head.

Collecting snails is time-consuming and doesn't yield much meat. Back then, the family was poor; Dad had injured his leg, and Mom and Grandma were busy with farm work. She and Dahu had to gather pig feed and firewood, and being young, they weren't allowed to go to the river to collect snails.

Nobody has time to work on this stuff; everyone's in a rush to eat every day, so she still doesn't know what snails taste like.

Shu Yu originally wanted to pat her head, but with a snail in her left hand and a pair of scissors in her right, she couldn't free up her hands, so she could only say, "Then you should try it later. Is there anything that your second sister used to make that isn't delicious?"

Sanya thought of popcorn, fried chicken legs, and spicy rabbit meat, and couldn't help but swallow hard, her eyes sparkling. "No, they're all delicious, especially delicious."

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Then you just wait, we'll be able to eat it later."

It was supposed to be later, but there were so many snails that the old lady came over to help cut them after she finished her chores.

And so, it took quite a bit of time to cut out most of the snails.
