Chapter 74 The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
This day is of great significance to the people of Yangjia Village.
Men, women, young and old, all carrying baskets on their backs, crowded to the foot of Yezi Mountain.
Many people were afraid to go up the mountain, but this did not affect them from gathering at the foot of the mountain to watch the excitement.
I watched as waves of strong laborers from the village ran up the mountain. The faces of the people who came down were filled with bright smiles, and their backpacks were filled with the kudzu roots they had just dug out.
Full.
Filling everyone's weak hearts.
Yang Kaifu's mother burst into tears as she watched everyone carry down the kudzu root.
"Ancestors, bless us! We finally have some hope for this winter with so much food..."
The women squatting nearby were pale and thin, but their faces could not hide their smiles. They lovingly rubbed the dirt off the surface of the kudzu root with their big hands, piled them one by one in the backpack, and covered them with a lot of dry grass and fallen leaves.
Then the young men carried it back to the village.
This time, all the people who went into the mountains were strong laborers in their 60s.
The sole responsibility of these young men is to transport the food back to the village.
Aromatherapy instructed one by one.
"Be smart! Don't go to the village head. Hide the kudzu root in the small warehouse at the east end of the village. And keep your mouth shut..."
The woman looked serious, with a hint of anxiety.
If this were seen by the refugees at the village entrance, there would probably be nothing left but dirt.
So I gave these brats careful instructions.
Brighten your eyes.
If you see the situation is not right, run away.
Song Huilan was picking kudzu roots while happily chatting with the person next to her.
"How come my men are so capable? If Zhimu and the others hadn't insisted on going into the mountains, would they have found this kudzu root?" The woman's face was full of smugness that she could not hide.
The person next to me gave a thumbs up.
"Huilan, you married a good man!"
"That's right, she's quite courageous. Look at my wife, she was completely suppressed by Secretary He, but when she saw the food, she ran away without hesitation."
The book sister-in-law complained.
Her man is good in every way except that he is a little timid.
An untimely voice interrupted.
"Why did I hear that this Kudzu root was found by Lianba kid?"
Song Huilan habitually wanted to retort, "How capable is Yang Lian? He's just a kid, he knows nothing."
She caught a glimpse of Aunt Gui, a very decent person, who said this, and she immediately shut up in embarrassment.
"Really?"
Aunt Gui looked at Song Huilan calmly, and then her expression softened.
"Of course not. Lianbei risked her life to find this kudzu root. She was covered in blood. My husband didn't dare to delay at all and rushed her to the county hospital. There's still no news..."
There was worry in Aunt Gui's tone.
Song Huilan rolled her eyes.
You deserve a beating.
"Why, digging up kudzu root and getting covered in blood..."
"This Yezi Mountain is dangerous. The kid must have run into a wild boar. Otherwise, how do you think they got that wild boar down this morning?"
When Song Huilan mentioned the wild boar that everyone carried down in the morning, her mouth began to water.
With such a fat wild boar, they will probably be able to get a lot of meat.
I feel inexplicably excited when I think of this.
Suddenly realizing it, he said, "Wait, was that wild boar hunted by that kid Yang Lian?"
Song Huilan's expression was somewhat intriguing.
This Yang Lianbei is really amazing.
He can read and hunt wild boars, and is also good at work.
I heard that both his mother and he died.
Isn't that the son-in-law who lives with me now?!
A gleam of light flashed in the woman's eyes.
Immediately care about you.
"Is this person okay?"
Aunt Gui looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Wife Zhimu, I just said that they haven't come back yet, how would I know!"
"oh……"
