"Grandma! You are grandma."

"Wow, God has opened his eyes!" Old Mrs. Xu stopped chewing on the tree roots and sobbed while hugging Xu Ning. Zhang also threw herself into Xu Da's arms, crying bitterly.

Xu Ning's nose felt sore. She didn't know whether it was Xu Daya's remaining emotions at work or if she was really moved.

In the end, the whole Xu family hugged each other tightly and cried their hearts out.

Old Man Xu was lying on the cart, crying and laughing like a child. By the time they calmed down, the tree root soup had gotten cold.

"My dear, you are full of milk. This sweet potato is for you."

Old Mrs. Xu originally planned to eat the tree roots first and then leave the sweet potatoes for Xu Ning.

Xu Da is extremely filial. If Old Lady Xu doesn't eat first, he will leave his share for her.

"Grandma, I'm really not hungry. Grandpa and I have just secretly eaten meat." Xu Ning said softly. Seeing that everyone in Xujia Village was gathered around to eat and no one was paying attention to this side, he quickly grabbed a handful of fragrant pork jerky from the box.

The pork jerky smelled tempting, and Xu Ning quickly placed the pork jerky in the bowls of each member of the Xu family.

Old Mrs. Xu immediately covered the bowl with her hand, and Zhang's mouth was quickly covered by Xu Da. Xu Dabao also followed his brother's example and covered Xu Xiaobao's mouth. Xu Xiaobao held the bowl in his arms in an imitative manner and stretched out a hand to cover his elder brother's mouth.

Old Man Xu was half lying on the cart, grinning silently, with a few of his teeth shaking. He was the first person to know about this!

"Daya, this box..." Xu Da looked at the box that Xu Ning was holding with surprise, and Xu Ning then grabbed a handful from the box.

This time, she grabbed a handful of white sugar and placed it in each person's bowl. For the Xu family, eating something sweet to replenish their energy was crucial.

"Grandma, Dad, Mom, eat quickly, don't let anyone see you." Xu Ning gave her piece of sweet potato to Xu Da, and drank the tree root water in the bowl. Since she put a handful of sugar in it, the tree root water tasted a little sweet and was not difficult to drink.

No one in the Xu family dared to say anything. They drank the sugar soup in silence, enjoying this rare delicacy. A mouthful of pork jerky and a sip of sweet soup were so delicious that it seemed like a dream.

After eating the pork jerky given by Xu Ning and drinking the sugar water, Xu Da gnawed on the sweet old tree roots, feeling very happy.

Xu Dabao and Xu Xiaobao held the bowl tightly throughout the whole process, and only let go after licking the food in the bowl and on their hands clean, for fear that even the slightest trace of meat smell would be left and smelled by others.

Old Mrs. Xu and Zhang originally wanted to leave the pork jerky for Xu Ning, but when Xu Ning took out a handful of white rice from the box, they grabbed the pork jerky and stuffed it into their mouths like hungry tigers.

The Xu family has been fleeing famine for more than a month. At first, they could barely eat half a full meal, but now they can't even eat fresh tree roots or bark, and they are all starving.

The situation in Xujia Village was similar, especially since they encountered refugees who robbed their food several times on the road. The family was lucky to be able to survive together.

Night had already fallen, and the Xu family, young and old, gathered around the cart where Old Man Xu was lying, discussing in low voices.

"Yaya, let's hide this box. It's too unsafe to leave it like this." This is what Xu Da said.

"Dad, don't worry. No one except me can get the things inside."

"Let's hide. Dad is feeling uneasy. How about we hide next to your grandfather and cover ourselves with a blanket?"

"Okay, I'll listen to Dad." Xu Ning didn't want to argue. She wanted to eat something else tomorrow.

"Grandma, when I went to the river with mom to wash our hands in the evening, I saw some fish in the river. Let's ask dad and brother to come with me to catch some!"

"Dad, let's call Uncle Li and his family." Xu Dabao said in a low voice. The hunter Li family had helped the Xu family several times along the way, and the Xu family remembered it in their hearts.

"Yes, Brother Li is so awesome. With him around, maybe we can catch more fish!" Xu Da was a little excited, as if he had already caught some fish. From the beginning to the end, none of the Xu family members doubted what Xu Ning said about the fish in the river.

Xu Ning's heart was bulging with excitement, and he couldn't wait to confirm with the treasure chest again and again.

Treasure Box solemnly guaranteed that as long as Xu Ning spread a little bait in the mud, fish would flock to it!

After receiving a positive answer, Xu Ning felt relieved and let out a long breath.

Late at night, Xu Ning followed Xu Da and the others closely as they walked towards the river.

At this time, Xu Ning didn't know that this bait was a special fish bait.

When she reached the river, she carefully sprinkled a handful of water on the mud. After a while, there were bursts of noises in the mud.

Xu Ning was stunned by this scene, and Xu Da and his son, who had been blocking Xu Ning's movements and paying attention to his movements, were also stunned.

Li the hunter was the first to come to his senses after hearing the sound. He rushed forward, snatched the backpack from Xu Da's back, and then plunged the backpack into the mud with the mouth facing downwards.

In the blink of an eye, five or six big fish weighing two or three pounds went into the basket obediently!

"Oh my god, there really is a fish!" Xu Da woke up from his dream and looked at the fish in the basket, shaking with excitement. The next second, he jumped into the mud.

"Oh~Roar~" The fish ran around Xu Da's body, making him feel extremely itchy, and he couldn't help but let out a strange cry.

Seeing this, Xu Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Because the noise was so loud, some villagers from Xujia Village came running over with torches.

Seeing this, Xu Da hurriedly threw the fish onto the shore, while Xu Dabao quickly picked up the fish and put them into his backpack.

Xu Ning was "picking up leaks" on the side. When she saw a fish jumping out of the basket, she immediately grabbed it with her quick eyes and hands and threw it to the ground. The fish instantly became very quiet.

Xu Dabao followed suit, and when other people from Xujia Village arrived, Xu Ning and Xu Dabao had already filled their backpacks with fish.

"Oh my God, there are fish in the river! Catch them!" Someone suddenly shouted.

There were still a lot of fish splashing in the mud. The people from Xujia Village who came over jumped into the mud and caught the fish like dumplings being dropped into the mud.
