Chapter 36: Collective Digging for Wild Vegetables



The next morning, the air was fresh and everything was full of vitality.

After breakfast, the group prepared to set off on their journey, and expected to arrive at the next post station this afternoon.

Before Jiang Ling got on the carriage, he did not forget to say something to the chef Chen Lei.

"Remember to pick some wild vegetables along the way. Eating meat all the time can easily cause a sore throat. Let's eat vegetarian food today!"

After hearing Jiang Ling's words, the guards became more active. Although they couldn't cook, they still knew some wild vegetables.

It's time to do something, otherwise the young master will dislike you.

So, they walked even slower on this section of the road, but even the escorting officers and soldiers were looking for wild vegetables, so who cared?

Jiang Ling's buttocks were sore from riding in a carriage for several days.

I plan to get off the car and take a walk, and watch others picking wild vegetables, hehe.

What’s the difference between this and Wang Baochuan digging wild vegetables?

As I was standing up, my sleeve was pulled.

"What's the matter?"

"Daddy, where are you going?"

The little boy clutched his sleeve tightly and stared at him with his bright big eyes without blinking.

"I just want to see them digging wild vegetables. Do you want to come?" Looking into the little guy's eyes, he couldn't refuse.

Yue Qianli has to be left alone in the carriage again, so pitiful!

Seeing his expression, Yue Qianli smiled and said with understanding.

"Take them to see it, I'm fine on my own."

"Okay, then I'll take you with me once the poison is cured."

Yue Qianli smiled slightly and nodded.

"Um."

So Jiang Ling happily took his two children to join the ranks of digging wild vegetables.

They didn't know anyone and could only follow Butler Chen and the two chefs.

Butler Chen and the two chefs each carried a backpack and a small shovel, and walked and looked along the way.

At this moment, Butler Chen suddenly raised his head, and his sharp eyes caught the clusters of fresh wild vegetables on the hillside.

An expression of ecstasy instantly appeared on his face, as if he had discovered a treasure.

Then, he displayed his Qinggong skills without hesitation and flew towards the hillside as lightly as a bird, at a speed that was astonishing.

Jiang Ling and the two children witnessed this scene and were stunned. Their mouths were opened so wide that an egg could almost be stuffed in.

They looked at Butler Chen in disbelief, secretly sighing in their hearts: "What a hard worker!"

However, this is not an isolated case.

The others were not to be outdone. They also discovered the tempting wild vegetables on the hillsides on both sides of the road.

Thus, a frantic picking operation began.

The guards flew up and down one after another, their busy figures like bees flying among the flowers.

Their eyes reveal their desire for food and hope for life.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ling suddenly realized that digging wild vegetables was a happy and enjoyable thing for them.

It felt like they were competing, but Jiang Ling had no evidence.

He even has to try his best to dig wild vegetables. It really proves the saying that men die young and childish!

In this way, they moved forward slowly, stopping and starting, flying up and down, and constantly picking wild vegetables on the roadside.

Before we knew it, nearly two hours had passed, but no one felt tired at all along the way. Instead, they were very happy.

In the end, they had a great harvest, filling three large backpacks with wild vegetables.

Among them are tender green shepherd's purse, plump purslane, fresh bracken and delicious gray vegetables.

There are a lot of wild vegetables in autumn.

These wild vegetables were enough for them to eat for several days.

Even the people from the second and third branches of the Jiang family who had been following them became smarter.

They have realized that if they want to survive, they must rely on their own hands to work hard.

Although there are still a few people who think highly of themselves and still wait for others to serve them.

The final outcome for these people was either being rejected or being thrown away.

As for most other people, they started digging wild vegetables themselves and no longer relied on others.

They gradually formed small teams, cooperating with each other and keeping each other warm.

At any time and space, the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest is everywhere.

Those who are unwilling to change may eventually be eliminated by society and become the dust of history.

Those who know how to adapt to the environment and work hard can find their own place in the difficult life.

So, they followed Jiang Ling and others and dug a lot of wild vegetables, which could at least solve the problem of food and clothing for the next two days.

Suddenly, the people who huddled together for warmth smiled at each other.

So, at lunch time, all that was served on the table was wild vegetables.

There are stir-fried bracken, cold-mixed purslane, wild vegetable meat patties, stir-fried lean meat and wild vegetable soup.

It is really crispy and delicious, with a hint of sweetness in the mouth, and you can feel the natural freshness when chewing.

Especially the cold-mixed purslane, which is sour, spicy and delicious, very appetizing, and the meat patties made with shepherd's purse are also very memorable.

No wonder wild vegetables are in great demand in modern times, whether before or after the apocalypse.

Very few people can dig it out.

Jiang Ling, Yue Qianli and the two children were very satisfied with the meal. They told the chef that they had wanted to eat it for the past two days.

It makes Chen Lei and others feel full of value and needed.

The master and the young master have finally ordered the food!

After lunch, the weather was a bit hot and humid, and Jiangling felt like it was going to rain.

He turned around and asked An San.

"San'er, how long will it take to get to the next place?"

An San was overwhelmed by Jiang Ling's "San'er" and was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Ling was just teasing him casually. These secret guard brothers who traveled thousands of miles were all pretty good.

"Ahem, half an hour."

Well, one hour. It shouldn’t rain. If we walk faster, it won’t take an hour.

"Go tell the escorting officers and soldiers to set off quickly and hurry up. It might rain heavily in an hour."

He didn't want to walk in the heavy rain, the road was difficult to walk on.

After hearing this, An San immediately went to report to the captain of the escorting officers.

The escorting officers and soldiers shouted, "Let's go! Hurry up!"

Although the other team didn't understand why, it was always right to follow them.

However, those few people still grumbled and cursed, saying that they had not rested enough, their legs were sore, and their feet were bruised.

What else is there? Just follow others and don’t flatter them.

The escorting officers and soldiers turned so pale upon hearing this that they confronted him directly.

"If you don't want to leave, don't leave. Just die here. It's normal to die from falling or illness during exile anyway!"

This sentence shocked everyone.

So, a good man is often bullied, and a good horse is often ridden.

Evildoers must be punished by evildoers!

The escorting officers and soldiers never beat or scolded them and always showed mercy to them. They didn't expect that this group of people would be so ungrateful.

Then there is no need to show any more favor.

People who are servile should be beaten and scolded before they will obey.

After their angry roars, they hurried to catch up with the crowd in front.

They are so far behind that they will not be able to cope with anything that happens.
