The four of them ate seven fishes and a large chicken, at least twenty pounds of meat.

After eating, the four of them sat there lazily, enjoying the breeze and not wanting to move.

The four of them sat in the shade, and the wind was a little cold.

Xia Lunong had just finished eating, and the blood had all rushed to his stomach. His head was getting sleepy, and he hugged his arms and rubbed against his brother.

His brother looked down at him, took off his coat and wrapped it around him.

He lowered his head and sniffed lightly. There was his brother's unique fragrance in the clothes, and this fragrance made him feel very at ease.

He scratched his clothes and asked, "Brother, aren't you cold?"

"No, go to sleep." His brother touched his forehead with his warm hand and asked, "Do you want to rest your head on my legs?"

Xia Lunong was so sleepy that he nodded subconsciously, moved his butt down, and lay down to rest his head on his brother's legs. His movements were very natural.

Yan Xinian turned to look at his brothers with a strange look in his eyes. He did not react, pulled off his clothes, and fell asleep happily.

Before falling asleep, Xia Lunong vaguely heard Yan Xinian say, "The wind is so cold, and you say you are not cold, wear mine."

As he spoke, another piece of clothing with body temperature fell on his arm, which must be the clothes of his brother.

He did not hear what his brother said, he subconsciously pulled the clothes again, covered his brother with half of it, and then fell asleep with peace of mind.

Xia Lunong also slept for a while, he was not at ease sleeping outside.

After waking up, he looked around, his brother was still there, but Yan Xinian and Liao Cheng were gone.

He rubbed his dizzy forehead, "Where did Brother Xi Nian and the others go?"

"They said they went for a walk nearby." Xia Huoqu handed over the water bottle, "Drink some water."

Xia Lunong took it and drank, "Brother, are we going back today?"

"Stay here for one night and go back tomorrow." Xia Huoqu said, "There are more prey at night, let's see if we can catch anything."

Xia Lunong's heartbeat quickened, feeling a little excited, "Let's go out at night."

"Without you, Xi Nian and I will go."

"Ah?" Xia Lunong's enthusiasm shrank like a punctured balloon. "Brother Liao Cheng and I will stay here?"

Xia Huoqu: "We can't stay here for long. Are you awake? I'll take you around this small mountain village."

Xia Lunong stood up with his legs softened by sleep and shook his head. "Didn't we finish the tour this morning?"

"We just looked around this morning. This small village has been visited by more than one group of people. How could we have found so many things?"

That was true. Xia Lunong cheered up, put on his backpack, and followed his brother.

The two walked around the village and found many vegetable fields next to the ruins. Most of them were scattered here and there, not in a large scale.

The vegetables were mostly submerged in the grass, and they looked very thin, and the leaves were almost eaten by insects.

The two wandered around for quite a while, found a bunch of garlic, dug some dandelions and wild wheat.

Xia Lunong had several cuts from the grass leaves on his body, and it was itchy and painful when he sweated.

He scratched his neck, but didn't say anything, but this action, his red face, and his neck streaked with sweat revealed his discomfort.

Xia Huoqu looked at the sky and said, "Let's go back first, your brother should be back."

"Why don't we go for a walk?" Xia Lunong scratched his neck again and waved his hand to drive away the buzzing insects. "I remember there are several families with vegetable gardens ahead."

When he was searching for supplies in the ruins in the morning, he had not completely failed to observe the surrounding situation. He could still tell which were wastelands and which were vegetable gardens.

Xia Huoqu agreed, "Let's go."

Xia Lunong tightened her backpack and continued to move forward with the bamboo in her hand.

They had to knock the weeds in front of them as they walked, so as not to accidentally run into any fierce snakes or insects.

This small mountain village has been deserted for a long time, and the vegetable garden has been abandoned for a long time. Even if they accidentally find some vegetables, there are not many edible parts.

They didn't walk for long before they found a small piece of carrots in the vegetable garden.

The carrot leaves looked lush and not damaged by insects. As a result, when they pulled them up, they found that the carrots underneath were about the size of a human thumb, short and thin, with many small roots.

Xia Lunong couldn't hide her disappointment and said angrily, "The leaves look so big, how come they are so small?"

"Without fertilizer, carrots won't grow very big," Xia Huoqu said, "Pull them out first, if you pull more, you can have a plate of vegetables."

Xia Lunong nodded, bent down and continued to pull out carrots with all her might.

After a while, the two of them pulled out all the carrots in a small area, and slowly collected half a bag of carrots with a unique smell.

Xia Lunong's mood improved again.

Xia Huoqu saw him hanging his head and looking depressed for a while, and then smiling, and there was a smile in his eyes.

Xia Lunong didn't realize that his expression changed many times, he cheered up and continued to move forward.

Behind a ruin, there is another vegetable garden.

Xia Lunong used a bamboo pole to split the weeds and was surprised to find vegetable seedlings underneath. "Brother, these are pepper seedlings!"

Now that he has planted vegetables, Xia Lunong has become very good at identifying vegetable seedlings. "There are also two eggplants."

He squatted down excitedly to dig.

Xia Huoqu grabbed his collar and gently lifted him up. "No need, these are all wild seedlings. Even if they are planted well, they won't produce much fruit."

"Oh." Xia Lunong looked down, his face full of regret.

Xia Huoqu took him to continue walking, "See if you can find something else."

"I think it's difficult. Vegetable fields usually grow eggplants, peppers, winter melons, and pumpkins. Even if there are other plants, they are not good seedlings..."

Xia Lunong walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of green plants. He suddenly grabbed his brother's clothes and said, "Brother, look! What is that?"

"What?"

"Chives! Is that leek?!"

Xia Lunong took a few steps forward and pulled away the weeds. In front of him, there was a large green leaf mixed with weeds, growing vigorously in all directions.

He reached out and plucked off a leaf. The tender and thick leaf flesh was immediately rubbed to produce green juice, exuding the unique spicy smell of leek.

Xia Huoqu smiled, "It seems we are lucky."

"Let's cut them and eat them back?" Xia Lunong pulled away the weeds beside them, "One, two, three, four, five, six, a total of six, enough for us to eat."

"Cut it." Xia Huoqu said, "Be careful of the ants hidden in it, I'll do it."

Xia Lunong took out the labor protection gloves from the bag and put them on, "I'll join in."

The two brothers cut the chives one by one.

The backpack couldn't hold them all, so after cutting a bunch of chives, the two cut some weeds from the side and tied them up.

It was unknown how long the chives had been growing here, and there were also old and yellow leaves inside, which could not be kept.

The two of them simply cleaned up, and in the end there were fourteen bunches of chives that could be used, which weighed at least ten pounds.

Xia Lunong smiled while holding the leeks, "It feels like cut grass."

Ordinary vegetables don't have this much yield.

Xia Huoqu said, "Leeks are easier to store, take them back and share them. Didn't Liao Quannan give you bamboo shoots? Send some to his house to return the favor."

Xia Lunong didn't expect his brother to still remember this, and nodded quickly. Xia Huoqu

wiped his sweat, "Let's go, I guess we can't find any vegetables, and your old brothers should be back."

Xia Lunong followed his brother forward, walked two steps, and suddenly stopped.

Xia Huoqu looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Xia Lunong turned around and looked at the cut leeks, "Brother, these leeks should have been planted before the disaster, right?"

Looking at the neat traces, they don't look wild.

Xia Huoqu knew what he was thinking as soon as he heard him. "You want to dig them up and plant them?"

"Yeah! Don't we eat the leaves of chives? Cut one crop and another will grow. We don't have anything to plant behind our house, so it's just right to plant these chives."

Xia Huoqu was just too lazy to bother, so he didn't object to what he said. "Then dig."

Xia Lunong took out a small hoe from his backpack and a cloth bag. "Brother, we can each dig one side. It won't take long."

They had cut off all the chive leaves, leaving only the roots. It really didn't take much effort to dig them up.

Xia Huoqu was very strong. He could dig a handful of soil with his hoe and could dig up a plant in just a few strokes.

Xia Lunong was slower, but she was more energetic. It didn't take long to dig up a plant.

When they were digging, they kept some soil at the roots. After they were done, they stuffed the soil and roots into the cloth bag.

When they returned to the temporary base, Yan Xinian and Liao Cheng had already returned.

As soon as Liao Cheng saw Xia Lunong, he said, "Wow, what have you been doing? You're covered in dirt."

"I dug up a few leeks." Xia Lunong put down the leeks in his arms and opened his backpack to show them. "The root system is very developed and it's growing very well. Brother Liao Cheng, do you want some? If you do, I'll give you two."

Liao Cheng leaned over to take a look and said, "Why do you want this? Go to Old Liu and exchange two for them. It's convenient and safe."

Xia Huo said, "It hasn't mutated. It's really growing well."

Liao Cheng said no more, picked up his backpack and showed it to Xia Lunong and the others. "You cut the leeks, and we just happened to find a nest of eggs. I guess they were laid by the chickens this morning. Let's have scrambled eggs with leeks tonight?"

Xia Lunong didn't object. "It's just right to get some chicken oil to fry."

"Yeah, I haven't eaten scrambled eggs with leeks for a long time. I broke one on the way and the yolk was orange. Authentic local eggs must be delicious when used to stir-fry leeks."

The two of them sang in unison and became more and more excited as they talked, almost drooling.

Yan Xi Nian looked up at the sky and said, "Then let's cook early. It just so happens that we can go out early in the evening and come back early."

"Okay, Xiao Nong, let me give you a clue, what to eat for dinner?"

Xia Lu Nong thought for a while and asked her brothers for their opinions, "We also found half a bag of carrots in the afternoon, and we can either eat leek omelette, carrots in chicken soup, or shredded chicken. ? Just cook the chicken to save it." Liao Cheng
