They didn't dare go in, but Lin Xiaoxiao did.
After getting to know the pigweed with them, Lin Xiaoxiao decided to take matters into her own hands.
There are many good things on this mountain, including wild vegetables, pheasants, and rabbits.
Although there's no shortage of these things in the space, wild meat tastes better, and getting those wouldn't be difficult for her. Now that she has a choice, of course she'll choose to eat fresh meat.
The meat in her space was mostly prepared during the apocalypse; it was farmed and definitely couldn't compare to the meat from the mountains.
Among the children this time was Da Niu, who took the initiative to educate Lin Xiaoxiao about which pigs are edible and which are not.
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "Where do you usually stop going in?"
Da Niu replied, "It's right at the foot of the mountain. We can't go any further. The brigade leader said that even if there are adults around, children should avoid going into the mountains if possible, because we're afraid of running into something. The adults can hold them off for a while, but we kids can't run far."
Lin Xiaoxiao asked, "Are there many wild boars here?"
Da Niu shook his head: "The sir said there are, but I have never seen them. However, there was a time when someone went into the mountains and, I don't know where he got, encountered wolves and was killed by them."
"I heard that when they found him, he was completely mutilated; there were hardly any healthy pieces of flesh left on his body. It was quite frightening."
“No one in our village has been killed by wild boars, but in the next village, someone was killed by one of them. He was the same age as my dad.”
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, I understand. Do you know where adults usually go?"
Da Niu assumed Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to go alone, so he immediately said, "Pretty sister, we usually cut pig feed in this spot. We've already planned it out; we'll cut here today and there tomorrow."
"The grass at the foot of the mountain is enough, there's no need for the grass on the mountain. If you want to go up the mountain, there will be people in the village who can take you there. You can go with everyone then."
Da Niu was worried that Lin Xiaoxiao, with her thin arms and legs, might impulsively go in alone.
Lin Xiaoxiao listened with amusement to Da Niu's worried instructions and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
I joined them in cutting pig feed.
Da Niu is a sensible person. He always remembered that Lin Xiaoxiao had changed the malted milk powder for his family, and he gave all the pig feed he had cut to Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow: "You gave me the pig feed, so you don't want the work points anymore?"
Da Niu: "I can cut for a while longer and earn enough work points."
Lin Xiaoxiao did not refuse Da Niu's gratitude, but instead took out a piece of fruit candy from her pocket.
When Da Niu saw the fruit candy, his eyes widened.
Although he really wanted to eat it, he still didn't take it. "Sister, I don't want to trade candy with you."
Lin Xiaoxiao held out the candy, saying, "I know, this is your sister's reward for your gratitude."
"It's not a tip, eat up." Lin Xiaoxiao raised her chin.
Da Niu immediately chuckled and took the fruit candy. This time, he couldn't wait to unwrap it and eat it, then put the candy wrapper away.
Da Niu was overjoyed.
Even the most sensible child is still a child, and when they eat candy, they can't help but secretly show it off.
Da Niu didn't say he was eating candy. Instead, he walked up to everyone and made hundreds of mouth movements. Some sharp-eyed children noticed, some were envious, some didn't want to talk to him, and some even asked Da Niu where he got the candy.
Da Niu told Lin Xiaoxiao, and the cleverer child knew what was going on. He quickly gave Lin Xiaoxiao the pig feed he had cut, which made Lin Xiaoxiao both laugh and cry.
I'll just take the day off today. If anyone wants candy, I'll trade it for weeding.
Before long, Lin Xiaoxiao's basket was full of pig feed.
Seeing that they were still cutting pig feed, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You guys keep going, I'll go upstairs and take a look."
Da Niu was surprised that even after telling the pretty lady, she still wanted to go up, so he immediately stopped her: "No, you can't."
"It's best if no one goes up alone; we'll be there quickly."
Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Alright, seeing how worried these little devils are, I'd better not let them worry about me."
I came here secretly in the afternoon.
Lin Xiaoxiao found a relatively flat spot, made herself a straw mat, and sat down to rest.
Looking at these lush trees, breathing in the fresh air, and then staring at these little radish heads.
Soon, these little rascals worked quickly and efficiently, and soon they had prepared the pig feed.
Lin Xiaoxiao picked up her basket and followed them to deliver pig feed.
Da Niu said, "Pretty sister, this way you can get one centimeter."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, it's the same. You gather firewood for your sister, and she'll exchange it for candy."
The children, who were hearing about it for the first time, were incredibly excited and even discussed coming to collect firewood after cutting pig feed in the afternoon.
Lin Xiaoxiao followed behind Little Carrot Head, heading towards the village's pig farm.
The village has a total of 6 pigs, as well as 2 cows and 2 sheep.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked around and saw a very dilapidated cowshed.
Da Niu followed Lin Xiaoxiao's gaze and said, "Sister, they are in charge of raising pigs and cattle. Everyone says they are bad people, and the team leader also told us not to have any contact with the people inside."
"But I heard that there are good people among them, but no one dares to say it."
"My mother also told me not to say anything."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at everyone, whether male or female, all of them were extremely thin, and some even had difficulty walking.
Just then, a man who looked to be about 50 years old, wearing glasses, came over to feed the pigs and clean up.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded to him, then turned to Da Niu and said, "I understand what you're saying."
After finishing here, Lin Xiaoxiao went to the scorekeeper to register, and that completed her morning's work.
Lin Xiaoxiao was incredibly glad that she had changed her mind and chosen to cut pig feed instead of carrying a hoe.
These days are so great!!
Lin Xiaoxiao went back now.
Since it was still early, Lin Xiaoxiao washed her face and then heard a knock on the door.
"They're here."
Lin Xiaoxiao ran to open the door and saw Aunt Li and Wang Chunhua each carrying a basket containing a vegetable, while Wang Chunhua was pushing a bicycle.
