The Great Yan Emperor passed away, and the princes, vying for the throne, attacked each other. Coupled with a severe drought and a locust plague, refugees were rampant.
To escape the famine a...
Lin Feng took off his coat and packed the watermelon, not daring to delay any longer. He had already been away for more than half an hour, and his family would be worried.
After climbing up the small valley with great effort, Lin Feng walked towards the foot of the mountain holding the watermelon.
When I returned to my family, the villagers were lying on the ground sleeping and resting as family units.
"Son! Have you found water?" Mother Lin asked anxiously when she saw something wrapped in clothes in Lin Feng's arms.
After avoiding the gazes of outsiders, Lin Feng undressed. His family members didn't recognize the thing. There was still some juice flowing out of the wound cut by the dagger.
Father Lin asked him, "What kind of fruit is this? Why is it so big?"
Lin Feng raised the corner of his mouth, looking proud: "I didn't know, this thing grows in a small ravine. My son has tasted it. It's very juicy and very sweet. Everyone come and try it."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he cut the watermelon with a dagger. Immediately, a fragrant smell came out. Lin's mother quickly took a piece of watermelon and handed it to her daughter-in-law Yang Jingyi. The latter was already very thirsty, so she quickly started to eat it.
Lin Feng's younger sister also got a piece of watermelon, and the little girl couldn't wait to start eating it.
The whole family gathered in a corner and ate secretly, not daring to make any noise.
Father Lin whispered, "This wild fruit is really good. I've never seen anything like it in my life. These black ones should be seeds. We should save them. After we settle down, we can plant some and maybe sell them for a good price."
Lin Feng nodded, then carefully collected the watermelon seeds that everyone spit out.
After the family divided the watermelon, they even kept the rind. Everyone thought the rind was edible, but it just had no taste.
Under the scorching sun, the family felt much better after eating watermelon. Not only did it quench their thirst, but they also felt a little full.
The villagers did not notice that Lin Feng's family was stealing food. In fact, they were also stealing food, and it was a common phenomenon.
No one will find fault with you because in this world, the preciousness of food is more important than face.
Younger sister Lin Ling took a fist-sized stone and gave it to her elder sister-in-law Yang Jingyi: "Sister-in-law, this is a green stone I picked up. I'm giving it to you. It looks nice, doesn't it? Hehehe!"
Lin Feng was resting with his eyes closed. After opening his eyes, he glanced at the green stone in his little sister's hand, and then closed his eyes again. This kind of transparent green stone is everywhere. It is not surprising that it is not eaten or drunk.
Lin Feng is not surprising, but if people on Earth see it, they will scream wildly, because this kind of green stone has a nice name on Earth, called jadeite, and it is an imperial green jadeite with full water content, which is extremely valuable. Just the piece of stone in her hand can definitely be sold for tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.
Yang Jingyi accepted the jade with a smile and patted her little head: "My little sister is thoughtful. Thank you."
When the little girl heard her sister-in-law's thanks, her eyes were so happy that they almost curved.
At this time, a little girl slightly older than Lin Ling came over, holding a red wheat cake in her hand. After coming to Lin Ling, she took a big bite of the cake and said proudly, "This cake is really delicious. You don't have it at home, do you?"
Lin Ling shook her head and said, "My family eats black rice cakes and can't afford red wheat."
There is also wheat on this continent, but the wheat here is red and the yield is extremely low. Only wealthy families can afford it. Ordinary people can only eat black rice. This black rice is different from the black rice on Earth. The black rice here tastes very poor, and its appearance is thin and long, and it makes your throat hurt when you eat it.
The little girl holding the red wheat cake is the granddaughter of the patriarch, named Lin Yan.
Needless to say, the clan leader's family has a high status and owns a lot of land assets. They are the richest family in the village and one of the few families in the village that can afford to eat red wheat.
"Poor guy, what a shame." Lin Yan ate the red wheat cake and did not forget to mock Lin Ling.
After hearing what the little brat said, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. His little sister was simple and kind, and was often bullied by children of the same age. She didn't dare to say a word even when being bullied.
But as the eldest brother, he was a little angry. After Lin Feng got up, he walked over and snatched the red wheat cake from her hand, put it into his mouth and started eating: "Yanzi, how did you know I was hungry? Little sister, try this red wheat cake, it's very fragrant."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he tore off a piece of red wheat cake and stuffed it into his little sister's mouth. The little girl quickly started chewing it. The red wheat cake was indeed delicious.
When the clan leader's granddaughter saw that her red wheat cakes were taken away, tears immediately flowed from the corners of her eyes. She ran back to her family crying loudly and complained to the adults in the family about Lin Feng's robbery.
Father Lin blamed Lin Feng: "You stole her red wheat biscuit balls? You know the character of the clan leader's daughter-in-law. Aren't you looking for trouble?"
Lin Feng handed the remaining red wheat cake to his younger sister, then said nonchalantly, "Who told her to mess with my younger sister? She deserves it!"
Just as Lin's father was about to accuse again, a plump woman came over aggressively, holding the crying Lin Yan in her hand.
"What a shameless family! What kind of world is this? How dare they steal my food? Everyone, come and see! This family is shameless! They stole my daughter's pancakes."
When the woman came, she started cursing without asking any questions, which made Lin's father and mother very ashamed.
The villagers gathered around after hearing the noise, which made Lin Feng's family even more embarrassed.
"How could this be possible?"
"Lin Feng usually has a bad temper, but you can't steal other people's food, right?"
