Chapter 17: Vines entangled with wild donkeys



Wang Juanhua walked over quickly, her eyes suddenly lit up and her mouth started to water.

In front of my mother, I saw a field of wild strawberries growing on the ground.

The bright red little berries are perfectly ripe, each one is extremely plump and juicy, and feels like it will burst if you pinch it.

"Mom, these are wild berries! I didn't expect there would be such a large patch before everyone picked them all! They must weigh several kilograms, right?"

"Let me try it!"

"Wait, Mom, what if it's poisonous?"

"So I'll try it first. Go tell them to bring something over, quickly. You can eat it if I don't poison you to death."

Wang Yi picked one and put it in his mouth, and the sweet and sour taste immediately spread all over his tongue.

tasty!

It is good for promoting salivation and relieving summer heat, and tastes great.

Good things in this state are obviously the product of the system.

But she only ate a small handful, wiped her mouth, and didn't eat any more.

This thing is so sweet, it must be full of sugar, but she doesn't crave sugar, it will only make her gain weight, which is useless.

It’s only five kilograms in total, and there are more than a dozen people below.

Give it to a few children to eat. Wouldn’t it be nice if she could secretly chew on the sugarcane when she has the chance in the future?

"Mom, I'm here! What did you find?"

Qubing ran up breathlessly with an empty pot in his hand, followed closely by Shoucheng Liugen, Lanmiao, and his two twin daughters-in-law.

Everyone worked together to pick all the berries on the ground, filling a large basin. Shoucheng and Liugen carried them to the rocky beach.

Shenggen pinched a grain and put it in his mouth, then looked at his mother. She had been eating it for a long time and there was nothing wrong with it. His father had taught him how to identify this thing when he was a child.

"These are wild berries. They are edible. Eat them with confidence."

"Woohoo! That's great! Let's eat. Yuan'er, come quickly. Uncle will give you something delicious!"

The happiest child was the seventh one to get rid of the disease. Children are carefree and get extremely happy when they have something new to play with.

Wang Yi watched the whole family eating berries, then happily lay down on a big rock nearby and found a big leaf to place on his forehead.

Rest for a while, I'm really tired. Eat quickly, eat more, so that you can have more strength when I catch wild donkeys later.

"It's all thanks to Mom today, otherwise we would have missed this patch of berries. Hey, where's Mom? Why don't you come over and eat?"

Shoucheng said with a smile, and when he turned around, he saw that Wang Yi had fallen asleep.

The second son, Li Chengcai, paused for a moment and said, "I'll wrap some in leaves for Mom, and eat the rest. This stuff won't keep well."

The whole family had a delicious meal of wild strawberries, and they were not bad when eaten with coarse bread.

After drinking some water that had been boiled last night, the family felt rested enough and prepared to set off again.

After Wang Yi woke up, he looked at a bunch of strawberries wrapped in leaves beside him and suddenly became dazed.

After living alone for a long time, she never thought that anyone would leave food for her.

For so many years, I have been alone when I was cold and alone when I was hot, but I had long forgotten that people can still care about each other.

Another glance at the system page revealed that her filial piety points had reached 91, with another 12 points added. Aside from the two little ones who were clueless, everyone else was grateful to her.

Unexpectedly, I had unknowingly approached the goal of 100 points that I had set for myself.

When it reaches 100 points, it can be exchanged for 100 taels of silver. She also thought that with 100 taels, no matter what system it is, with her ability and qualifications, she can also make a career in ancient times.

Looking at the berries wrapped in green leaves, Wang Yi's mouth curled up unconsciously, and she felt happy. But this thought actually began to fade away.

These wild berries taste really sweet.

"There are still 4,300 steps to complete the mission."

Phew, we still have to continue.

I have actually walked more than 20,000 steps today, thanks to the two points of physical fitness from the previous mission.

Otherwise, never mind her and Li Wangshi in the previous life, neither of them could walk 20,000 steps in this body. The increase of two points in physical fitness allowed her to replenish a lot of energy after taking a short nap.

This must have something to do with her secretly chewing a piece of sugarcane in the middle of the night.

"Mom, are you awake? Let's go. We can't spend the night in the mountains." Looking at his mother's lazy look, Li Chengcai still had a little disgust towards her in his eyes. It was not the time when he yelled at his mother to save berries for her just now.

All the prey around here has been caught, and the wolves and tigers in the mountains have started to come down to the village.

Therefore, they had to spend the night far away from the mountain. Even though it was just a small hill, it was not suitable for camping at night.

"Let's go, let's go now."

Wang Yi walked briskly and went down the mountain smoothly with his family.

The sun is setting and night is about to fall.

But there is no village in front and no shop behind. This place is bare. War and banditry have emptied the area.

Finally, Wang Yi looked at the system task with a smile and took the last step.

"Congratulations on completing the 30,000-step daily mission! Mission rewards are being distributed."

As soon as the voice fell, Wang Yi suddenly pointed at the dead woods in front and shouted, "Son, look what that is!"

They saw dry creepers crisscrossing the withered forest, covered with cockleburs and thorns everywhere. A red tail swung back and forth, and their approach startled the creatures inside.

"Ah ...

"donkey?"

"It's a wild donkey!"

"Mom, why are there wild donkeys here?"

"Look, the wild donkey is entangled in vines, catch it quickly! Third brother and fourth brother, come on!" The seventh brother jumped three feet high and shouted in surprise.

Jinbao and Yinbao's eyes suddenly lit up. They threw their things on their wives and rushed out swiftly.

The eldest brother Shenggen pulled out the machete left by his dead father and chased after him.

"First, use the rope to trap it! Trapeze it! Don't kill it, there's a donkey carrying things!" Wang Yi ran over with a smile on her face, no slower than the young man's pace. But no one paid attention to her at the moment, all eyes drawn to the wild donkey trapped in the vines.

"Just watch, mother!"

Except for the second and fifth sons, all the sons came forward.

First, they took out a hemp rope from the package, put a slip knot on it, and put it around the donkey's head, and tied it to a big tree nearby. Then they began to cut the vines that trapped the wild donkey.

The wild donkey kept struggling and kicking, with wounds all over its body from the vines. It almost kicked Shenggen in the stomach, which frightened the female relatives and made them scream. Wang Juanhua was so nervous that she almost cried.

The men were very strong and they quickly cut the vines off the donkey and successfully rescued it.

If we hadn't tied the donkey's neck first, it would have been too strong to tie it up.

Even so, wild donkeys are difficult to tame.

"Tie it up first and try to raise it. If it really doesn't behave, when we run out of food, we can kill it and eat its meat."

Shenggen spat out a mouthful of blood. He had just been accidentally kicked in the face by the donkey's hind hoof, and nearly broke a tooth. Fortunately, it was just a glancing blow, and the tooth only pierced the inside of his cheek, so it wasn't a big deal.

But he looked happy.

A wild donkey!

Just for food, their whole family can fool their way to Qingdong City!
