Back at the camp, many villagers came back from digging herbs.
"Oh my god! Miss Gao and the Huo brothers actually caught pheasants and rabbits, and dug up so many herbs."
Some villagers screamed when they saw Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian and his brothers.
"Uncle Lizheng, grandpa and grandma, aunt, and aunt, have someone prepare the pheasants and rabbits. We'll have chicken soup and rabbit meat for dinner tonight."
Gao Zhijun held a pheasant in one hand, Huo Jinqian held four wild rabbits, and Huo Jinfeng held two cute little white rabbits, one for himself and one for Sister Jinxiu.
"Okay, will mother take someone to deal with it?"
Mrs. Lu happily took the pheasant from Gao Zhijun, while Mrs. Lao and Mrs. Yu took the hare from Huo Jinqian and took them to the front to be processed.
"Uncle Lizheng, this is called cassava. It can be eaten as food. We will eat it tomorrow."
Gao Zhijun pointed at Huo Jinhao and Huo Jinbai carrying baskets of long and big cassava and said to the village head.
"Oh my god! It's so big, can it really be eaten?"
The village head picked up a long and thick cassava and shouted in shock.
"It's edible, but a little messy. If not handled properly, it can be poisonous.
So, Uncle Village Head, please leave this cassava with me tonight to prevent anyone from stealing it and eating it. If you discover it too late, someone may die.
If handled properly, it will be the best food for those fleeing famine because it is resistant to hunger.
Just eat it once and you won’t feel hungry for the whole day.
But the elderly and children should eat less, as it is difficult to digest."
Gao Zhijun introduces the uses and dangers of cassava.
In fact, sweet potatoes and cassava are not easy to digest.
Flour-based grains are indigestible.
Eating too much sweet potato will not cause much harm to the human body, but cassava is different. Cassava itself contains mild toxins, and it is easy to cause poisoning if eaten without cooking.
When the village head heard that it would cause poisoning, the first thing he thought of was that it could not be eaten. But then he thought again, the girl said it was edible, so he should believe her. She would not harm the villagers.
If you want to harm someone, why not just say it at the beginning? Then you can harm them without anyone knowing.
Why bother telling them?
"Okay, I'll listen to you, girl."
"Uncle Lizheng, how are they digging?"
Gao Zhijun asked about what she cared about most.
When he said this, the village head almost couldn't see his eyes when he laughed. This was the happiest thing that had happened to him since he fled from famine.
There is strength in numbers. The villagers have already dug about 30 meters. If they continue like this, they will soon find the water outlet: "We have dug 30 meters, and water should be available in two days.
Also, Tiezhu led his men to find a water outlet, and they also started digging."
Thirty meters? You should be able to feel the soil is moist. If the soil is too moist, it is not far from the water outlet. You still need to go and check it out.
"That's great, I'll go check it out."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she walked towards the direction of the well, followed by Huo Jinqian.
"Miss Gao is here? We've already dug about thirty meters."
Da Zhuang said happily and excitedly when he saw Gao Zhijun.
She is really capable. Not only did she save herself, she also saved Huojia Village.
Now she is leading them to find water. She is really a capable person who can do everything. It is the luck of Huojia Village to meet her.
"Thank you for your hard work! Let me see how the soil is doing."
Gao Zhijun nodded as a greeting, then squatted down and pinched the soil with her hands. It was sticky and very close to the water outlet.
"Brother, dig up some mud and show it to me!"
Gao Zhijun said to Huo Jinzhou who was in the deep pit.
Huo Jinzhou, Huo Jinting, Huo Jinqing and Zhang Yu dug the soil below, while the rest of the people pulled the soil up from above.
Because the pit was not big enough to accommodate too many people at once, they had to take turns digging the mud.
"Yes, sister!"
Huo Jinzhou dug a large piece of soil from below and put it on a dustpan, and asked someone to pull it up.
After being pulled up, Gao Zhijun smelled the soil, pinched the soil, then her eyes lit up, she thought of something, and immediately jumped down with the rope. Dazhuang, who was holding the rope in one hand, was so scared that he almost dropped the rope. Fortunately, Huo Jinqian, who had been observing Gao Zhijun, quickly helped Dazhuang hold the rope to prevent Gao Zhijun from falling.
Of course, Gao Zhijun couldn't fall down. Thirty meters is child's play for a cliff climbing expert.
The reason she held the rope was to gain some help to jump down.
He jumped down steadily, scaring the Huo brothers and Huo Jinqian in the pit so much that they broke out in sweat and their hearts began to beat wildly.
The villagers of Huojia Village were even more terrified and stunned, not knowing what was going on.
"Sister, you scared us to death.
Don’t do this again next time. What if you fall down and break your leg? "
This was the first time Huo Jinzhou scolded Gao Zhijun. He had a good personality and usually wouldn't scold anyone.
However, Gao Zhijun went too far this time. If she is not taught a lesson, who knows what big thing will happen next time.
"Yes, sister (Miss Gao), don't do that next time. If you fall from such a height, you will be crippled if not dead."
Huo Jinting, Huo Jinqing and Zhang Yu also scolded him, their hearts still pounding.
"I'm sorry, I forgot for a moment, I won't do it again next time!"
Seeing their worried expressions and listening to their scolding, Gao Zhijun did not feel unhappy. Instead, she felt warm in her heart. This is the feeling of being cared for.
In her previous life, she had never felt this kind of care from others. All she had was indifference and perfunctory interactions with others.
