The group had been on the road for half a month, but was delayed for three days by heavy rain.
It rained heavily for three days, and each person was given one steamed bun on the day of the heavy rain.
Because everyone was gathered together, Su Sijin couldn't take out the steamed buns.
I ate so much steamed cornbread that I felt like vomiting.
Today is the fourth day, the heavy rain has finally stopped and a light drizzle has begun to fall.
After a heavy rain, the weeds and leaves are dotted with water droplets, crystal clear, dreamy, poetic and beautiful.
Su Sijin came up to Tang Peng and said calmly, "Mr. Tang, I'm afraid we can't travel today!"
Tang Peng looked at her sideways, especially when he saw the gauze on her right cheek, he looked away in disgust, "So what if I can't make it?"
Su Sijin didn't care much about his attitude. There was no need to spend effort to change the preconceived notion.
"I wonder what the weather will be like tomorrow? There won't be many steamed buns left!"
"So what?"
Tang Peng didn't understand why she said this. Could she find food?
The steamed corn bread and the dry food they brought with them could only last until tomorrow.
Su Sijin said straight to the point: "The rain has subsided now, and I want to go out to find food. After the heavy rain, wild vegetables and other things should have emerged."
"I'm worried that if it rains heavily again tomorrow, we won't be trapped in the cave and starve."
Tang Peng thought for a moment, turned around and left without paying any attention to Su Sijin, but she knew that he agreed.
Sure enough, Tang Peng was talking to his subordinates. After getting everyone's approval, Tang Peng said loudly:
"Because of the rain, we can't leave for a while. You can go out and find food. Starting tomorrow, we will no longer distribute food. In short, you will have to provide your own rations."
"But if you try to take this opportunity to escape, don't blame me for being harsh with my whip."
"This..." Some people were embarrassed, some were surprised, some agreed, and everyone felt a little worried.
Tang Peng added, "Only 50 people can go out at a time, divided into groups of four. The time limit is one hour. If you want to escape, think about your parents, children, wives, and other relatives!"
"Because if you run away, your family will bear the consequences for you, and you will definitely not be able to escape. Once we catch you, hmph, my whip will not be vegetarian."
Su Sijin also explained, "I'm going to find food, Changming, you stay and take care of him."
"No." Three voices objected in unison. Lu Changji became excited and started coughing again.
Lu Changming grabbed the backpack and said, "I am a man. I am the strongest man in our family. How can I be a coward and let my sister-in-law go out and take risks?"
Seeing his face filled with grief and indignation, Su Sijin did not argue with him and asked calmly, "Do you know any wild vegetables?"
Lu Changming: ...
"Your elder brother and Changji need some herbs. Do you know which herbs they are?" Su Sijin continued to question him.
Su Sijin took the backpack from his hand, and regardless of his embarrassment and annoyance, Su Sijin pretended not to see it and continued:
"Don't you know what's going on in our family? You're so big and your martial arts skills are pretty good. If they want to bully Mother and my siblings, they'll have to think twice."
"Remember, your mission is only to protect your family, understand?"
Lu Changming was entrusted with an important task by Su Sijin. Unlike the decadence and regret he had just shown, his eyes were bright and he nodded vigorously. "I understand. I am a man. It is my responsibility to protect my family."
After Su Sijin made all the arrangements, she picked up the backpack and left the cave.
After walking a few steps, she heard someone calling her from behind, "Miss Su, wait for me."
"What do you mean, Mr. Jiang?" Su Sijin asked Jiang Hong, her eyes sweeping over the man with him.
"Let's go with Miss Su! We'll have someone to look after us."
Ever since Su Sijin gave Jiang Guan acupuncture, Jiang Guan has been able to sleep well at night and his mood has become much brighter.
All those who came out to look for food were men, except for Su Sijin, a girl. He was worried, so he followed her out.
Su Sijin nodded and accepted Jiang Guan's kindness.
The air washed by the heavy rain was fresh and beautiful. Su Sijin took a deep breath and then squatted on the ground to dig up wild vegetables.
"This is purslane, it's edible. There are a lot of it here. Let's ask everyone to come and dig it up!" Seeing no one responded, Su Sijin looked up and saw Jiang Hong was directing others to identify wild vegetables.
There are not only purslane, but also many other edible wild vegetables such as bracken and leeks.
Su Sijin raised her eyebrows, Jiang Hong knew about wild vegetables.
This was beyond her expectations. It was really surprising that a young man like Jiang Hong knew about wild vegetables.
As if sensing Su Sijin's gaze, Jiang Hong smiled back, "I've been with the Lu family army for two or three years. Survival in the wild is basic common sense. Making fire and foraging are the foundation of survival."
Su Sijin understood, and this explained why Jiang Hong knew about it.
Since they knew, Su Sijin no longer paid attention to them. She dug wild vegetables and looked for herbs, especially anti-inflammatory herbs, to prepare more. She felt that it would rain heavily tomorrow.
After the heavy rain, the mountains were full of gifts from nature. There were so many things to eat that in less than half an hour, Su Sijin's backpack was full.
When the space was full, she started to pat, pat, pat, pat, and put all the herbs and wild vegetables she saw that she couldn't take away into the space.
It will be convenient for cheating and special treatment in the future.
Su Sijin parted the grass and saw patches of wild mushrooms such as chicken mushroom, blue-headed mushroom, and yellow mushroom.
Su Sijin picked up the mushrooms in surprise and patted them excitedly. Soon, the wild mushrooms disappeared in an instant.
The moment Jiang Hong turned around, it seemed that something suddenly disappeared. When he looked closely again, there was only bare mountains. He shook his head and rubbed his eyes.
