The supplies in the space surprised and delighted Li Lanzhen.
A complete set of outdoor activity equipment, the largest of which was a green thick canvas tent, two small shovels, two air mattresses, ten raincoats, and many other outdoor items. Li Lanzhen didn't bother to look at them carefully, since they were safest in the space anyway.
Let's take a look at the others.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that these were all products from the same merchant who had given them a lot of work safety supplies during their last exchange of goods.
This time, they also gave us a lot of winter clothes, quilts, and a lot of cotton and silk fabrics, including plaid, polka dot, and many other colorful and beautiful patterns.
The cotton shoes all had black velvet soles with multiple layers.
Yarn, in all colors, is great, it's the most practical. You can knit sweaters and vests that you can wear underneath so no one can see them.
A complete set of cutting tools was provided, except for a sewing machine.
There were also a dozen or so shovels, hoes, sickles, and machetes.
The most important thing is the grain, starting with five sacks of wheat bran, which was what I needed last time. The merchant remembered it and gave me that much.
Buckwheat noodles, corn noodles, black rice, millet, and more than twenty boxes of dried noodles.
Even children's snacks are available, including milk powder. When Li Lanzhen saw the milk powder, she was as happy as a child.
Now, the eldest daughter-in-law's newborn grandson has food to eat, with all sorts of candies, packed in several bags.
There are more than three pounds of brown sugar, and two kinds of salt, coarse salt and fine salt, both in large quantities.
There was still no medicine to prevent miscarriage this time. She was a little worried about Zhang Yueniang. She was in her late stages of pregnancy, and the journey to escape famine would be very difficult. She was going to scold her eldest son tomorrow. He never chose a time to do this. Being pregnant was so hard. What a troublesome boy.
Leaning against a big tree, after looking at all the supplies, he felt the system was right, laughed, and said to the system, "Thank you, System."
The system snorted coldly, "You're welcome. We're all in this together. You should focus on your own business and find a place to settle down soon."
"Tongzi, I feel like you're giving me your last words, hahaha."
"Host, please note that you must not curse the system with words."
"Hmph, if you can't take a joke, then forget it. I'm leaving. I'll look around and see if there's anything else good."
Not long after Li Lanzhen left, she found a patch of sand ginseng.
The purplish-blue flowers, like upside-down purplish-blue bells, sway gently in the wind, standing alone in this mountain forest, beautiful in their own way.
The roots of Adenophora stricta are large, non-toxic, and have a sweet and bitter taste. They are nourishing, dispel cold and heat, and clear the lungs.
This is a great item. I'll take it and put it in my storage space. I'll take it out whenever I need it.
After a lot of work, Li Lanzhen harvested more than a hundred sand ginseng roots of varying sizes.
After sitting down to rest for a while, Li Lanzhen was very puzzled. How could there be no animals in such a big mountain? She didn't even find any pheasants or rabbits.
Oh, not that there wasn't. Yesterday, didn't Xue Laohu and his son hunt a lot of wild animals? They were probably just going in the wrong direction.
If we don't meet them, so be it; it's not like we're going to starve.
Today I'll pretend to take a pheasant and a rabbit from my online space and cook them with potatoes.
While they can replenish their energy here, they'll do their best. There's plenty of good food to eat in the mountains. The villagers, except for those who are unsteady on their feet and those who leave an elderly person to look after the children, all go up the mountain to find something to eat.
In just two days, every household had a great harvest.
After a good and satisfying meal, both adults and children are full of energy.
Gou Dan and his grandson would bring wild vegetables to Li Lanzhen's house every day. The vegetables were always cleaned and washed in the stream before being brought over. Li Lanzhen would tell them not to bring them, but they would still bring them the next day as promised. They just wouldn't listen.
When Gou Dan arrived in the mountains, it was like a little forest elf had wandered into paradise. He would go up the mountain twice a day and bring back anything that was edible.
In his eyes, the wild vegetables covering the mountain can be divided into only two categories: those that are edible and those that are inedible.
If I come across some wild vegetables or fruits that I don't recognize but look good, I'll take a few home and ask my grandma to identify them. If they're edible, I'll go find them; if not, I'll throw them away.
The grandmother and grandson worked together seamlessly. While Gou Dan went up the mountain to find food, his grandmother would clean and prepare the food at home, washing and drying the food, and pickling the food and putting it into earthenware jars for them to eat on their journey to escape famine.
Ever since Ma Dazui was hung up and stood on his daughter's head, Liu Ya was afraid that she wouldn't be able to support her and would lose her mother, so she held on with all her might.
He kept reminding Ma Dazui to persevere.
Back in the cave, the queue at Ma Dazui's house began to change.
Ma Dazui is number one, and he's the undisputed boss at home. Liu Ya is number two.
The two older brothers were very grateful to Liu Ya for shielding their mother with her head, as she had saved them from losing her.
From then on, her brothers treated Liu Ya extremely well.
They'll leave her in the cave for the next few days while they go up the mountain to find food.
Han Mingxiang rested in the cave for a day, then stopped. He carried a basket on his back and went up the mountain with his two older brothers to find food.
Knowing that it was Gou Dan who had held Gu Yuli back, the village chief's family brought a pound of grain and wild vegetables to thank Gou Dan.
However, Gu Yuli and her two daughters were not among the people who came.
Grandma Gou Dan did not forgive Gu Yuli and her two daughters just because the village chief came to thank her.
She remembered it; one day she would definitely get her hands on Gu Yuli.
He couldn't bear to let his own son, Gou Dan, do heavy work, let alone support a grown woman with his head.
But she was still restless and caused a ruckus, which increased Gou Dan's burden. She's truly shameless and invincible!
From that day on, the villagers took extra care of Gou Dan, and would take him along whenever they found something good.
After Han Mingxiang woke up, Li Lanzhen had a private conversation with him, explaining why they had ended up there and been discovered by the robbery leader that day.
Han Mingxiang was silent for a while, then told Li Lanzhen that on that day, they had already arrived at this cave, and the village chief had asked everyone to choose a cave.
After settling in, he went to find Li Lanzhen, but he secretly left, followed by a group of people.
Among them was Gu Yuli, so Han Mingxiang had no choice but to take them with him. Gu Yuli followed him closely all the way, asking him questions from time to time, and calling him "Brother Mingxiang" every time.
After being cornered by Han Mingxiang several times, he finally stopped shouting.
However, they couldn't find Li Lanzhen, either on or off the mountain.
Han Mingxiang was anxious and frustrated when he suddenly encountered that group of people. He told everyone to keep quiet, squat down, and wait for them to leave before taking any action.
Instead of leaving, those people walked towards them and stopped just two meters away from where they were hiding.
He started urinating, and just then, Gu Yuli shouted "Run!" and darted out, running towards the mountains.
After they discovered her, they caught up with Gu Yuli in a few steps, grabbed her and pulled her back. Gu Yuli then shouted and revealed the location where Han Mingxiang and the others were hiding.
What followed was what Li Lanzhen knew.
Li Lanzhen was very angry, so she went to find Gu Yuli and her two daughters again.
When she arrived, the village chief's family was having dinner. Although they had separated their households, the mother and her two children still chose to live in the same cave as the village chief.
Li Lanzhen went straight in, pulled Gu Yuli out, and slapped her several times.
"It's all because of you, you troublemaker. You got caught and even betrayed Han Mingxiang and the others. You're a real traitor."
"I'm telling you today, stay away from my youngest son from now on. Or I'll break your legs!"
After he finished cursing, he left, completely ignoring Han Yanyan's crying and the village chief's family's astonishment.
