Chapter 54: Harvest from the Forest



It was a little cooler in here. Chen Li stopped, picked up the water bag and took a big sip of water.

Phew, the weather is so hot, you can’t drink less water, or you will get heatstroke.

Looking around, I saw that there were very few people coming here, and most people wouldn't walk that far.

However, although few people come here, it does mean that no one comes. Unless it is safe, Chen Li will never use her own space outside.

Suddenly I saw some yellowish branches, and after a closer look, they looked quite familiar.

Chen Li walked over, picked up a branch nearby and started digging.

Chen Li was very strong, and the soil was relatively loose, so soon a yam wrapped in soil appeared in front of her.

The girl squatted on the ground, a smile on her face, and dimples on her cheeks were faintly visible.

It is unknown how long this yam has been growing here. Some are as thick as two of Chenli's fingers, and one is about forty to fifty centimeters long.

There should be quite a lot of yams in this area, so Chenli continued digging.

At this time, the yam is wild, so it is sold at a very high price. Most people don’t know it, but it is also considered a food.

Chen Li dug out all the yams. The six yam vines produced about 10 kilograms of yams.

We have to be very careful when digging out the agarwood. If you get it on your hands, it will be uncomfortable for a while.

After collecting a few roots and entering the space, he wrapped the yams with yam vines and picked up the things.

Thinking of the mother and son in the space, Chen Li's consciousness sank into the space, and she saw that Tuanzi had already found the bamboo forest, and the little guy was sticking his butt out to dig bamboo shoots.

As for the giant panda, all the other wounds on its body have healed, leaving only a shallow mark on its abdomen, which was the most seriously injured.

It seems that the mother and son have adapted well to the space. Chen Li decided to exit the space and walked out of the forest carrying her things.

Shen Changshan and his group were not going in the same direction as Shen Li. Shen Changshan was accompanied by Shen Jingyuan, Lin Feng and Xu You.

It’s not that the rest of the people didn’t want to come along, but they wanted to stay behind to look after the mule cart and the women in their families.

As the only male in the family, Xu You had to come along. Xu Taohua wanted to stop him, but when she saw the determined look on Xu You's face, she stopped talking.

Her younger brother had grown up and was able to take on responsibilities, and her mother had not stopped him, so she, as his married sister, was even less able to stop him.

Shen Changshan and his companions all carried bows and arrows. They walked for two quarters of an hour and dispersed the crowd when they saw some green around them.

"Gather here in two quarters of an hour, find your own companions and walk together. If you encounter any danger, shout loudly.

"good."

Forty or fifty people dispersed in twos and threes, and Shen Changshan and his companions also chose a direction and continued walking.

On the way here, brothers Lin Hu and Lin Kun looked around for a long time and only let everyone go after they found no traces of animals.

Otherwise, these people followed them out, and if anything went wrong, they would have to bear some responsibility.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone gathered at the original spot. Shen Changshan and his companions were holding two pheasants and two hares.

Xu You was also beside them, holding a handful of relatively tender wild vegetables in his hand.

The other forty or fifty people also had their own harvests, and most of them had wild vegetables and fruits in their hands.

There was also a villager holding pheasant eggs and a pheasant, another person holding two not-so-fat field mice, and several young people holding bird eggs they had taken from the trees, guarding them carefully.

A young man was grinning from ear to ear as he dug up more than a dozen yams.

"Let's go."

When the group returned to their camp, Wang Xiaolian became very excited when she saw the pheasants and rabbits in the hands of Shen Changshan and his group.

We caught a pheasant and a hare, so we'll have meat to eat tonight!

She immediately went forward, but Shen Changshan and the others avoided her without even looking at her, and then carried their things and went home.

Wang Xiaolian was stunned, turned around and saw Shen Dalong, and took the wild vegetables from his hand with a smile.

"Boss, how do we divide up those pheasants and rabbits?"

Several people next to Shen Dalong looked at him in surprise, which made him feel ashamed. He slapped Wang Xiaolian in the face, stunning her.

"What are you talking about?"

"Everyone who finds something owns it. Didn't Fourth Uncle make that clear just now?"

Wang Xiaolian also noticed the looks from the people around her, so she covered her face and turned around to follow Shen Dalong.

Shen Changshan processed the pheasant and rabbit, and feeling the vague gazes of the people around him, he handed them all over to Lin Cuicui to cook.

As for the rabbit eaten at noon, it was kept alive for tomorrow's meal.

When Chen Li came back with the yams, the pheasant and rabbit were already in the pot.

Lin Cuicui stewed the pheasant and rabbit in the same pot, put a handful of dried beans in it, and then added a handful of dried wild vegetables when it was time to serve.

As soon as this overbearing fragrance came out, several people from the nearby shops turned their eyes to it. The fragrance was so tempting.

Shen Jiabao started making a fuss again. Jiang Xiaolian had just stood up with the bowl in her hand when she felt everyone's sarcastic and contemptuous gazes.

"stop!"

Wang Xiaolian quickly retracted her steps, and Shen Jiabao looked at Shen Dalong in shock.

Shen Dalong looked at Shen Jiabao and said, "Shut up. Eat whatever you cook. If you keep making noise, you won't eat tonight!"

"Wow, wow~"

"I want grandma!"

Shen Jiabao had never been scolded so harshly by his father before, and he immediately started crying.

Shen Dalong was embarrassed and slapped him in the face.

With a "bang", Shen Jiabao fell to the ground, staring at Shen Dalong blankly with tears in his eyes.

“Ouch!”

Wang Xiaolian hugged her son distressedly and said, "Head of the family, Jiabao is still young, please talk to him nicely."

Then she looked at Shen Jiabao in her arms and said, "Son, stop making noise. I'll boil an egg for you later."

With tears in his eyes, Shen Jiabao looked at Shen Dalong's sinister eyes and didn't dare to make trouble anymore. He nodded obediently.

After Wang Xiaolian calmed her precious son, she immediately turned to look at the trembling sisters and asked, "Is the meal ready?"

Shen Dalong saw Wang Xiaolian's venting behavior but didn't say anything.

It was already very good that the two girls were raised to this age in the countryside, and for him, these two daughters were raised to be used in exchange for dowry, just like the previous two daughters.

At night, Chen Li slept in the middle, with Lin Cuicui, Xu Taohua and Li Qiaolan next to her. The men in the family slept on one side, and the mule was tied to a tree.

At night, you can hear the sound of swatting mosquitoes from time to time, but it is very quiet here because they all carry mosquito repellent pouches.

But you still have to be alert. All your belongings are on the mule cart. If someone steals them, you will lose a lot!
