"We're all family, so it's a bit strange for mother to say that."
Lin Yiran pulled the corners of her lips awkwardly.
She felt a little embarrassed because of such sentimentality, but she also had her own purpose.
This is called everyone takes what they need, and no one owes anyone anything.
Lin Yiran pulled her hand out from Madam Xiao's hand and stuffed the peeled bird eggs into her hand.
"Mom, eat quickly. I'm very quick at peeling the eggs. Look..."
As she spoke, Lin Yiran picked up a bird egg as if she was presenting a treasure, and knocked it against the wall of the cave again. In the blink of an eye, the egg was peeled.
Old Madam Xiao looked at Lin Yiran's funny expression and smiled.
She really liked Lin's personality. She was generous, unpretentious, and open-minded.
The sisters-in-law looked at each other and started laughing, feeling a rare moment of relaxation.
Lin Yiran grinned and stuffed the whole bird egg into her mouth.
The sisters-in-law followed Lin Yiran's example, knocking the roasted bird eggs against the cave wall, peeling them with a smile, and eating them in small bites.
Lin Yiran looked at the young and old of the Xiao family. Although they were wearing dirty prison uniforms, they still ate elegantly. The manners engraved in their bones would not change because of the harsh environment.
While the young and old in the Xiao family were concentrating on eating bird eggs, Lin Yiran collected the salt on the quilt.
Even with so many Rhus chinensis fruits, only a small handful of salt was produced.
Lin Yiran deliberately bent down to cover her hands with the shadow of her body, and quietly took a handful of salt from the space and added it in to mix it.
"Wow, it doesn't look like much, but there's actually a big handful of salt, enough to last for a while."
Lin Yiran looked at the handful of salt in her hand and said with a smile.
Madam Xiao looked up and widened her eyes in surprise, "That's quite a lot."
"There's quite a lot of salt. I'll pick some more tomorrow when I see them on my way."
The sister-in-law was sitting next to Lin Yiran and was also shocked when she saw the handful of white salt.
I didn't think it was much when I was making it, but I didn't expect it to be quite a lot.
The second sister-in-law had just eaten half of the bird egg in her hand and moved to Lin Yiran's side with a smile.
"Give me some salt, my mouth is very bland."
I haven't eaten much salt for several days and I feel a little uncomfortable.
"Come here and put some salt on the eggs. They will taste better."
Lin Yiran stretched out her hand and smiled, inviting everyone to come over and have some salt.
She is not lacking in salt, but the Xiao family, young and old, are very lacking in salt.
During the few days in the Guangfeng City prison, I basically didn't eat any salt. I only ate multi-grain steamed buns with cold water.
"Mm, it really smells better."
The second sister-in-law pinched a little salt and sprinkled it on the bird eggs. She took a bite and her eyes lit up.
Seeing this, the others came over with the remaining bird eggs in their hands, pinching some salt and eating them.
Although there were a lot of bird eggs, everyone only ate one and stopped.
The road ahead of us is still long, and we cannot eat all the food at once. We must always make plans for the future.
Madam Xiao looked at the salt in Lin Yiran's hand, thought for a moment, picked up the sword next to the quilt and cut a small piece of the hem.
"Pack the salt in it."
"Okay." Lin Yiran responded, took the piece of cloth, and carefully wrapped the salt in it.
From then on, she was responsible for keeping the salt and could add salt to it at any time.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yunzhan returned to the cave carrying a bunch of slaughtered wild animals.
"Yun Zhan, come and eat the bird eggs first. They're still hot."
Old Madam Xiao waved to Xiao Yunzhan, her eyes full of joy.
Having experienced too much joy and sorrow in the past few days, she now has nothing else to ask for but that her family be safe and sound.
Xiao Yunzhan smiled, handed the slaughtered wild animal to his second sister-in-law, and threw a stack of horsetail leaves on the ground.
When he was killing a wild animal, he saw a large patch of herb next to it and pulled it all back.
Firstly, these safflower leaves can be used to wrap roasted game, and it is impossible to eat all the game tonight.
Secondly, walking horse placenta can eliminate rheumatism, strengthen muscles and bones, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. If you often live in caves where there is heavy humidity, you can boil some walking horse placenta and drink it to eliminate rheumatism.
Thirdly, the horse's fetus contains some moisture, so if you can't find water on the road, it can at least quench your thirst.
Walking tire
Xiao Yunzhan looked up at Old Madam Xiao and said, "Mother, I'll cover the entrance to the cave first, and come over to eat later."
It was getting darker outside, and the cries of various wild animals in the mountains could be heard one after another.
With so many of them living here, it would easily attract the attention of wild animals, so the entrance to the cave must be blocked.
When Lin Yiran heard this, she quickly stood up and said,
"I went to block the entrance to the cave. I put a big rock at the entrance and it was blocked very tightly."
Even if Xiao Yunzhan was a martial arts master, he might not be able to move the stone she chose.
Xiao Yunzhan's pupils trembled. He was still wondering where such a big stone came from at the entrance of the cave.
Clearly, when he went hunting, there was no stone at the entrance of the cave.
Could it be that Lin Yiran moved that stone here?
That shouldn't be possible. Even if Lin Yiran has some strength, it's impossible for her to move a stone weighing eight or nine hundred kilograms.
It was difficult for him to lift such a heavy stone, but he could still lift 400 to 500 kilograms.
"That stone is too heavy to move..."
"Fourth brother, you really underestimated my fourth sister-in-law."
The second sister-in-law was using a stick to pierce the wild animals. She smiled and said loudly,
"When you went hunting, my fourth sister-in-law went out to look for firewood. She brought the stone over and blocked the entrance to the cave. I couldn't even move it..."
