Once she felt confident, she stopped dawdling.
He didn't go home after coming down the mountain; he went straight to find Liu Weimin.
In the courtyard of the village office, Liu Weimin and several village officials and elderly people were all there, and the wrinkles between his brows seemed to have not diminished at all.
"Thanks to this little bit of food, we can get through these two weeks."
"Yes, what will we do in half a month? They've stripped the land on the mountain bare."
"The well water in the village is so murky that it's impossible to draw water from it any morning."
"Sigh, there's not much water in the river anymore, and the water level is dropping every day."
Just then, Jian Dan strolled over, carrying a basket on her back.
Liu Weimin smiled.
"Little Jian, are you tired? I haven't seen you for the past few days."
The crops are all suffering from drought, and there isn't much work to be done. The villagers have to fetch water from a small river two miles away to irrigate their fields. Although it's a drop in the ocean, for the villagers, the more they irrigate, the more they can harvest.
They didn't let Jian Dan go to work either.
"Uncle, I'm going into the mountains."
Liu Weimin and the others' expressions changed. Just as they were about to say something, they simply tossed the baskets down.
"Uncle, look, is this edible?"
These days, food is everything. As soon as they heard about food, they all forgot everything else and immediately surrounded the food.
They're all experienced farmers; they can almost immediately tell if something is good or bad just by looking at it.
"This is... wild yam?"
"Let me see,"
"It really is true?"
As they spoke, they became excited, and the oldest man with the white beard's hands trembled.
"It really is wild yam! Oh my, Weimin, we haven't dug up this stuff for years!"
Liu Weimin was also very excited, only then remembering what Jian Dan had just said.
"You found it in the mountains?"
Since they know each other, we can simply leave it at that.
"Uncle, it's on the mountain, almost deep in the mountains, we haven't arrived yet."
Yeah, it seems like that whole area is like that.
"piece?"
"Not deep in the mountains?"
Simply make a thinking gesture.
"I don't think so, but the grass and stuff there is still quite green."
He simply threw down the basket and left it there. The half-full basket of food was a lifeline for him when he was starving.
"Uncle, I'm going back now. You guys discuss it. If you need me to guide you, just come find me. I'm not going up the mountain, I'll stay home."
The remaining people looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Second Master, is this wild yam?"
He slapped her across the face.
"Damn it, don't you recognize this? Didn't you eat it a few years ago?"
Liu Weimin touched his head where he had been hit, feeling a little aggrieved.
"I just can't believe it. With so many of us searching almost the entire outer area, how could they find such a treasure so easily?"
Master Liu lowered his gaze indifferently.
"This child has probably gone deep into the mountains. The grass on the outskirts has withered and died, and the greenery is half-dead."
Look at these yams, look at these, they're still fresh.
Do you understand now?
Liu Weimin nodded silently, then suddenly sighed.
"Second Uncle, we kept emphasizing that they shouldn't go into the mountains, but they came and went anyway. Not only did they come back safely, they even found this thing. Do you think we were being too cautious?"
"Skilled people are bold. Think about Zhu Zi again. He's been up there for so many days, and we still haven't seen him alive or dead. Humph!"
It's okay to be envious, but you need to have the ability to be so. Do you have that ability?
The young educated youth clearly had the ability to protect themselves; in the village, would you dare?
Liu Weimin stood up.
"Ah! Second Uncle, you're right, skill breeds daring!"
I'll go call them; they'll be ecstatic if they find out we've found food.
She briefly circled back to Liu Weimin's house, where Wang Guihua was tidying up in the yard. Seeing her return,
"Come here quickly, I found some seeds for you, and I packed some of each for you, so take them all."
At this time of year, only cabbage and radishes can still be planted, and they can be harvested just before the ground freezes.
The rest can be planted next spring.
I accepted it simply and elegantly.
"Okay, thank you, Auntie. I'll go back and pack up now. I'll come back and bother you if I have any questions later."
Wang Guihua wore a warm, aunt-like smile.
"Go back now. Just come and call me if you need anything."
She had been busy on the mountain for several days and had gained a lot, but she was also really tired. The original owner of this body was only 15 years old and still a child. She had hoped that she would be at least 168 cm tall in this life.
Once the gate is locked, I go back to the base, take a nice shower, eat my fill, and then lie on the small kang (heated brick bed) and sleep like there's no tomorrow.
The village office was bustling with activity; men from every household were there, a whole courtyard full of people surrounding Liu Weimin and his companions, bombarding them with questions.
"Village chief, is it true? There really is food?"
"Village chief, when are we going? I need to go back and get a knife."
Some men ran outside crying.
"I have to go back and tell my mom that there's food. Waaah, she won't even drink a drop of the thin porridge I make."
I have to go back and tell her that there's food now, and everyone can survive.
Liu Weimin looked at his neighbors,
"Have you all thought this through? It might not be far from the mountains, and no one can guarantee there won't be any wild animals around."
After a moment of silence,
"I've thought it through, let's go! They're new here, they're willing to go even if they're blind, and if they find food they can tell us the location, isn't that like food being delivered to our hands?"
What's left? Do we have to wait to be fed to us?
If you don't even dare to go, you might as well stay home and wait to starve to death.
Once it happens, it will happen again.
