"Little brother!"
Leng Furong screamed in fear and lost her composure immediately. Chaoge dropped the branch and backpack in his hands and placed them next to Leng Furong, then rushed down quickly!
There were many refugees behind them, but not one of them reached out to stop the two brothers from rolling down the mountain.
Fortunately, after seeing the two brothers rolling out more than ten meters, Leng Liecheng grabbed a bunch of vines and held Leng Xiaoran's collar tightly with one hand, thus preventing them from rolling further down the mountain!
Chaoge breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two brothers stop, and hurriedly chased after them.
It is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down, but fortunately Chaoge secretly drank a lot of space stream water, so he had enough energy and physical strength, and soon came to the two brothers.
Leng Xiaoran was quite frightened and was crying loudly in Leng Liecheng's arms. His two hands were tightly grasping his second brother's shirt, and he was crying miserably with tears and snot.
"Are you okay? Are you two hurt anywhere?"
Chaoge steadied himself, quickly took the crying Leng Xiaoran from Leng Liecheng's hands, and checked him up and down.
"It should be fine, just a few scrapes.
I didn't protect him well just now. I stepped on a stone and lost my balance, so I rolled down with him."
Leng Liecheng didn't care about his scraped palms and cheeks, and with a look of remorse on his face, he also checked Leng Xiaoran's body.
"This mountain road is steep, it's normal to slip, don't blame yourself.
I took a look and it was just a minor skin injury, nothing serious."
Chaoge gently patted the weeds off Leng Xiaoran's body, and softly comforted Leng Liecheng who was feeling guilty.
Leng Xiaoran, who was originally crying loudly and was frightened, slowly stopped crying after hearing his second brother's words. Although his sobbing was still uncontrollable, he still reached out to help Leng Liecheng clean the weeds and dust off his body.
"Don't blame me, I'm not feeling bad, I'm just scared. I'm fine now, thank you for protecting me!"
Hearing Leng Xiaoran's soft voice with a hint of tears, Leng Liecheng felt much better.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Just as they helped the two brothers up, Leng Furong came down carefully.
His panicked look and red eyes showed that he was obviously terrified.
After all, this mountain is rugged and steep. If you lose your balance, you might fall down and lose half your life if you don't die.
Not far behind her, Zhou Daqiang was running hurriedly.
Another explanation is inevitable.
"It's good that you're okay. Let's keep going. Many people in the village have walked a long way ahead. We shouldn't lose them."
Daqiang reached out and pulled Leng Xiaoran, ready to take him up the mountain. Unexpectedly, when Chaoge reached out and was about to grab the vines next to him to climb up, he looked up and his calm eyes suddenly lit up!
“Wild Huaishan!
What luck! We won't be hungry anymore!"
Chaoge never expected that the dangerous experience just now would allow them to have the incredible luck to meet Ye Huaishan.
Fortunately, she did not forget that there were many refugees around her who were short of food, so when she exclaimed, she kept her voice low.
"What is Ye Huaishan?"
Several people looked at Chaoge's excited little face in confusion, and Leng Furong asked with a puzzled look on her face.
“It’s yam.”
After calming down, Chaoge remembered that in this era, no one seemed to grow yam, but yam had been used as medicine, and many wealthy families would use it to make medicinal food.
"Is it the yam in the chicken soup and yam porridge I had before?"
After hearing Chaoge's explanation, Leng Furong's mind immediately flashed back to the food she had eaten at the mansion.
She didn’t think yam was delicious before, but her mother and aunt said that yam is nutritious and stewing chicken or making soup with yam is good for the body, so she has eaten a lot of it and even got tired of it!
But now, hearing the word "yam", Leng Furong couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Yes, that's great. We finally have food."
Chaoge excitedly held Leng Furong's hand, unable to suppress the joy in his eyes.
If she had yam, she wouldn't have to look for opportunities to take wild fruits from the space.
Yam is a good kind of carbohydrate and an important substance for their bodies to replenish energy.
I was a little disappointed with this mountain, but I didn't expect that Chaoge would rekindle hope in the next second.
"Chao Ge, hurry up, don't fall behind!"
Looking back, he saw that Chaoge and her siblings were already dozens of meters behind him. Zhou Dong shouted at them from above.
"Okay!"
Chaoge responded loudly, but then she immediately looked at Zhou Daqiang.
"Brother Daqiang, I took a look and this area is full of vines of wild yam. I think there should be quite a lot of them.
Its rhizomes are difficult to dig and take some time.
But this thing can keep you hungry and is a rare food. You might as well talk to Uncle Dong and let them go first, and we will chase him later.
Remember to bring your hoe back later and dig some, it will at least provide you with food for a few days."
"Ah, this, this is just a tree root, can it be eaten?
Besides, if we dig, the refugees nearby will see us and come to steal it, right? "
"No matter what, if we want to rob, it depends on who is quicker. We can't stop so many refugees."
Zhou Daqiang felt that what Chaoge said made sense, so he nodded and hurried up to tell his father the good news.
Rather than letting these yams be snatched away by unknown refugees, Zhou Dong felt that it would be better for people from his village to dig them.
After a while, Zhou Dong returned cautiously with a group of people.
The refugees who continued to climb up the mountain looked at them coming down with confusion on their faces.
But when asked whether there was an accident ahead, Zhou Dong and his group refused to answer.
Leng Liecheng actually couldn't suppress his happiness on his cold face, but at the same time, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Digging yam is not only hard work, but also time-consuming and laborious. Even if Chaoge wants to keep it all for herself, she does not have the time and strength to do so.
Then she took the three siblings of the Leng family, occupied a piece of land, picked up branches and started digging.
Sure enough, before they succeeded in digging out a yam, the refugees who were passing by and going up the mountain surrounded them without asking any questions, wanting to see if they could get anything for themselves.
But when they saw Chaoge and his men digging up tree roots, the refugees who were full of expectations were disappointed and left in anger.
Some refugees, like Chaoge and his friends, had nothing left and crowded around them, ready to start looting at any time.
