Lin Xiaoman planted a mountain of sweet potatoes in the deep mountains and old forests, but outside the mountains, the famine became more and more serious.
Once again, the old man and old lady of the Shao family took advantage of the dead of night, took their belts, and hanged themselves on the beam.
Lin Xiaoman, who was hiding at the scene, secretly loosened the knot, and the two fell down one after another.
The noise suddenly woke up the others.
Next, a group of people held each other and cried bitterly because of the food problem. Several sons and daughters-in-law cried and shouted that they would rather starve to death than let their parents die!
After crying bitterly, the old couple temporarily gave up the idea of suicide.
The next day, the four grown men of the Shao family and many young and strong men in the village gathered under the leadership of the village chief's burly son.
The village chief's son brought the big knife that his old man used to chop small animals, and a group of men, carrying baskets, tools and weapons, marched into the mountains.
There are jackals, wolves, even tigers and blind bears in the deep mountains. Usually, the villagers dare not go deep into the mountains, and they just pick up some mountain products on the edge of the mountain.
But these days, life is no longer sustainable. All edible things, such as tree bark and grass roots at the foot of the mountain have been stripped clean. The only option is to take a gamble and go deep into the mountains to find food.
The men in the village gathered together and marched deep into the forest. After cutting through the thorny bushes and going deep into the forest, they soon saw the lush and green sweet potato vines.
“It’s the sweet potato vine!”
With a loud shout, everyone excitedly worked harder to clear a path, then swarmed over and started digging up sweet potatoes.
Digging sweet potatoes in full swing...
Soon all the baskets they were carrying were filled up, and everything on their bodies was filled with sweet potatoes. Everyone was so full that they couldn't carry any more, but the sweet potato vines still seemed endless. Everyone excitedly went down the mountain and ran around to tell each other.
Unable to wait until the next day, the village chief immediately organized everyone in the village, young and old, men, women, and children, carrying wicker baskets, tools, flashlights, torches and other lighting devices, and marched deep into the mountains again.
People were assigned to keep watch for wild animals, and the villagers raced against time to dig up sweet potatoes.
Among the crowd, almost the entire Shao family was out, and anyone who could run and move was out, all working hard to dig sweet potatoes.
Lin Xiaoman hid in the shadows, and had a strong urge to take a photo of Shao Qi, who was still a teenager. Unfortunately, the system was down! Oh...
There were so many people and the noise was so loud. As the sun set, the wild animals foraging in the mountains were attracted one after another. The first to be hit were a group of about twenty wild wolves.
Lin Xiaoman: Very good, food delivered to your door.
A combination of meat and vegetables is nutritious.
"There's a wild wolf, a wild wolf!" As the sentry shouted, the villagers who were still digging sweet potatoes stopped and stood ready with hoes, sickles and other weapons.
Soon, a battle for survival over 'food' broke out.
After the fight started, Lin Xiaoman, who was hiding in the dark, made a sneaky move, throwing out spells of immobilization with no visible effect.
The wolf, which had been nimble and agile, pounced into the crowd, only to be stabbed in the neck, eyes, and stomach by the men...
With Lin Xiaoman's secret help, dozens of wild wolves were killed by the villagers soon. Seeing that the situation was not right, the other wild wolves fled in shame with their tails between their legs.
The villagers, who were cautious, naturally did not dare to chase after them.
In order to take precautionary measures and prevent the wolves from taking revenge, after all, wild wolves are creatures with extremely strong vengeful natures, and it is not impossible for the wild wolves to come down the mountain late at night and bite a few villagers to death, Lin Xiaoman chased them alone, and after getting away from the crowd, he let go and killed them.
In just a few seconds, she wiped out the entire pack of wolves.
After resolving the hidden danger, Lin Xiaoman rushed back and found that the village chief was already organizing a retreat. Everyone in the village started to go down the mountain, carrying a lot of sweet potatoes.
After returning to the village safely, everyone's faces were filled with joy, and the sadness of the past few days was blown away at this moment.
Seeing that Shao Qi and his group had returned home safely, Lin Xiaoman went up the mountain again and secretly replanted a field of sweet potatoes.
As for food, the more the better.
So, she should work harder and plant more.
After a night that was particularly difficult due to excitement, the next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the villagers gathered spontaneously, carrying various tools, and went up the mountain to dig sweet potatoes again.
In the following days, the daily routine of the villagers was to get up early and go into the mountains to dig sweet potatoes. Because the noise was so loud, not only the wild animals in the deep mountains were alarmed, but several neighboring villages also noticed the abnormality.
The team going into the mountains to dig sweet potatoes is getting larger day by day.
As for the wild beasts, no matter whether they are jackals, tigers, leopards, bears or blind men, Lin Xiaoman is there. After secretly crippling them, the huge team of sweet potato diggers, relying on their strength in numbers, can kill them with just one hammer each.
But sweet potatoes are becoming less and less available.
I worked too hard to plant, and it felt too awkward.
Lin Xiaoman stopped, and soon all the sweet potatoes were dug up by villagers from several nearby villages who heard the news.
After losing their sweet potatoes, people who were short of food and clothing began to turn their attention to wild animals. Because of Lin Xiaoman's arbitrary intervention, almost all the ferocious beasts in the mountains were killed.
Without dangerous creatures, the danger level dropped sharply. Even without sweet potatoes, there were still many people looking for food in the mountains.
Although the Shao family dug up thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes, there were many people in the family and they were consumed very quickly.
Fearing that someone might still starve to death or die from other causes, Lin Xiaoman secretly fed the animals. Today, a pheasant with a broken wing fluttered in front of him and was caught by Uncle Shao. Tomorrow, a stupid rabbit crashed into and died in front of Uncle Shao. The day after tomorrow, a wild roe deer stumbled and fell from the mountain and died in front of Uncle Shao. The day after that, Uncle Shao picked up a sheep with a broken leg...
Anyway, the four men of the Shao family always pick up something when they go into the mountains.
Eventually, these difficult days passed.
No one from the Shao family was lost, and no one in the entire village starved to death. There were only three accidental deaths.
Having successfully survived this crisis, Lin Xiaoman began to relax and slack off again.
Time flies, and several years have passed. Then it was time for conscription again, and the butterfly effect that made Lin Xiaoman dumbfounded came.
Each of the four branches of the Shao family sent a male to serve in the army, while the one who went to serve in the army was the eldest brother, Shao Qi's biological brother, Shao Qingguo, who should have been drowned.
Lin Xiaoman: ...
this??
Does it have any impact?
Maybe it has an impact!
Past experience tells Lin Xiaoman that she cannot directly incite the tragedy, but she must jump out and save the situation at a crucial critical moment when the tragedy first appears!
Shao Qingguo went to join the army, and everything that happened afterwards became a mess!
So, do something dirty!
