Looking at the scene in front of her, Qiuju was very excited.
"Wow! Madam, there's water here, and this cave is so spacious and huge!"
Even if I don't eat and only drink water, it won't work! I can not eat, but the little prince and the little princess can't go hungry.
I could see the worry on her face.
"Okay, don't worry. Don't they say that if you live in a mountain, you can eat there? Let's rest for a night first. We'll go find food in the mountains tomorrow morning. We'll store some food before any refugees enter."
If there were refugees passing by, the barks of the trees on this mountain would probably meet their end.
Qiu Ju had no military power, so she stayed behind to take care of the two children.
Lin Xiaoyu carried a basket and a small hoe and wandered through the mountains and forests.
I didn’t expect there were sweet potatoes in this forest. Today’s harvest was great. This basket of sweet potatoes will be enough for them to eat for half a month if they save them a little.
"Madam, how about I go and dig sweet potatoes, and you stay and take care of the young master and the young lady."
"I'd better let me go. With your frail body and no weapons, you'll be eaten by wild beasts if you go out."
"Can…!"
"Okay, don't worry about me. You've seen my skills before. I can protect myself and I'll definitely come back safely."
At this time, Qiuju was deeply immersed in self-regret.
If I had known this earlier, I would have practiced martial arts. Although I am in good health and not weak, I would still be beaten by men with much greater strength than me, not to mention the ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests.
There are not only sweet potatoes in the mountains and forests, but also yams. Yams are a bit similar to sweet potatoes, but they can be eaten raw. They taste sweet and are very thirst-quenching.
There are also many wild vegetables in the mountains and forests, but some of them are dying from the sun.
Fortunately, this forest is large enough, and the trees are tall and thick. The lush branches and leaves block the sun, allowing many wild vegetables to grow green.
After this period of hard work, there was finally food stored in the cave, so there was no need to worry about starving to death or dying of thirst.
"Ma'am, please don't go out. These are enough to last us for a while. It's not safe outside."
"I know, but I have to go out. We are staying in the mountains and don't know what the world is like outside. I have to go to the town to take a look."
Knowing that she couldn't persuade her, Qiuju could only watch her leave with concern.
There were corpses everywhere outside and the stench of decay was wafting in the air.
Lin Xiaoyu covered his mouth and nose and vomited out all the acid in his stomach.
The town, which used to be somewhat wealthy, is now in ruins. There are still one or two living people on the streets, but they are just barely surviving.
She didn't dare show her head and could only hide in the dark and watch.
"Hehehe, the boss found another one alive, but it's just skin and bones. It won't taste good if I cook it. It's too hard on my teeth."
"That's old news. If there's anything good to eat, look for something fresh and tender. Be alert and see if there's anyone passing by."
Seeing several burly men, Lin Xiaoyu quickly slipped into the space.
The eyes of those big men were red. Listening to their conversation, Lin Xiaoyu felt sour again.
He is even worse than an animal. It seems that I can only do justice for the heavens.
When they fell asleep at night, Lin Xiaoyu picked up the knife and killed them without hesitation.
I am also afraid of killing people, but when I think about how many innocent people will die at their hands as long as they are still alive, I am no longer afraid.
On the way back to the mountains, I actually saw several familiar figures on the roadside.
Aren’t these villagers from Daqingshan?
"Village Chief, why are you back again?"
"Mrs. Lin, why are you here?"
A group of people rushed back to Daqingshan. It turned out that the village chief and his friends were outside and encountered a group of red-eyed people. The whole village attacked them and they were able to escape back, but they still lost a lot of villagers.
"By the way, have any refugees ever been to Madam Lin's village?"
"I don't know either. We went up the mountain after you left, and we just came down from the mountain recently. We wanted to come to the town to see what was going on, but we didn't expect to run into you on the way back."
Lin Xiaoyu brought them back to the cave. Anyway, he had stored all the treasures in the mountains in his space. He asked them to sell the remaining night pearls after the drought was over so that they would have money to rebuild their homes.
There are many dangers and wild beasts in the depths of Daqing Mountain. Otherwise, the bark of the trees would have been stripped away by the refugees outside without leaving any residue.
Take out the insect repellent from the space and spray it on them, so that the wild animals will walk around them and not hurt them.
Perhaps because they were afraid of starving outside, the villagers peeled off all the green bark and even the green roots when they saw them.
Outside, there is not even tree bark to eat, so now they are very satisfied to have such tender tree bark and roots to eat.
We also dug up a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, such as sweet potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes, cassava, etc., and ate them sparingly. They probably fed them for two months.
In a ventilated stone house, little Jasmine and her brother were sleeping soundly.
The sky, which had been dry for a long time, finally began to rain heavily. Two or three days after the rain stopped, Lin Xiaoyu excitedly carried the basket out of the cave.
There should be a lot of wild mushrooms outside now. I really want to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms!
"Host, be careful, don't get poisoned to death."
"Bah! Can you even speak? I grew up in the mountains. I know which mushrooms are edible and which aren't. Besides, I still have your system. Don't tell me you can't identify toxins."
The system laughed dryly twice and stopped talking.
I had just stepped on half a basket of mushrooms when I suddenly saw something lying in front of me. It should be a person, right?
He walked up and turned the person over, and was shocked.
