"The hunters are back, the hunters are back. They've brought back a lot of wild boars and even a big bear."
"Not only are there big wild boars and big bears, but there's also a giant snake. Oh my god, that snake must have at least a hundred pounds of meat. We can eat meat now. We have meat to eat."
“So much meat…”
Hearing a group of children running over excitedly, Yan Hong and a few others also ran over with the left-behind families.
From a distance, I could see a female leader leading the group, striding towards them while carrying prey.
Li Qingfang looked happy and waved as soon as she saw the Wen family.
"Mom, mom, we have more dishes tonight, so we can eat as much meat as we want."
Wen Bibo smiled and gave her a thumbs up. "Good, well done."
Wen Changxuan also shouted and waved his hands. "My mother is the best, my mother is the best, the best mother in the world."
The Wen family's younger children also joined in the shouting. "Fifth Aunt is so great..."
Although Li Qingfang still felt shy, she... inexplicably enjoyed it.
Wen Xiuli, who was standing beside her holding the baby, looked at her man eagerly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was not injured.
As soon as Bao Fengming put down his prey, he turned around and strode towards his wife and children.
"Shui Gen, let daddy hug you."
Xiu Li quickly slapped him. "Go away, I told you to wash your hands before holding the baby. Didn't you hear Xiu Shui say that children have weak immunity?
If you get infected by touching an animal outside, it will be troublesome for our family if you come back here and get infected."
The man chuckled. "Well, my wife is right. I have to go wash my hands."
Zhang, who was standing nearby, quickly came over with some water. "I knew you'd want to wash your hands as soon as you got back. Wash them quickly. It's a good thing water is easy to find now."
If it's as hard to find as before, I won't be willing to just give up."
The group of people laughed out loud. "It's not that bad, but the further south you go, the better it gets.
Do these indications also mean that everything is moving in the right direction for us? "
The old village chief's words made everyone nod, and the smiles on their faces became more sincere.
As long as the situation of escaping famine gets better and better, all the hard work along the way will be worth it.
Xiushui also went on a trip, after all, if she didn't encounter any prey, she could cheat or something.
However, this time I actually managed to kill some animals, so I didn't have to cheat.
She was of no use hunting, but she did find a lot of medicinal herbs.
Among them, Codonopsis pilosula was the most abundant. She and her companions were so happy to pick such a large piece of Codonopsis pilosula that they smiled happily.
The old lady's eyes fell on the big wild boar in front of her, the big bear, and finally the snake.
"Xiu, such a big snake, you didn't scare anyone, did you?"
"Grandma, this snake was so scared when it saw us that it wanted to run away, and our people were even more excited when they saw it.
Scary? Oh, not at all. People in our village now think of animals as meat when they see them. And they think of grass as something that can be exchanged for points."
The old lady was delighted to hear this. "That's not so bad. During this journey, all the wild hay and other things we found at the beginning have become good materials for weaving things.
We'll need a lot of herbs later, and since you've taught us how to recognize them, we should treasure every herb we see."
Gouzi's grandmother smiled and said, "Although this journey of fleeing famine was hard, I really learned a lot.
Take collecting herbs for example. We didn’t know there were so many herbs in the past.
Many pigs used to eat this plant as a kind of wild boar grass. But now it is different. This plant is a medicine, and it is a good medicine for treating women's diseases.
There are also plantain, dandelion, alfalfa... wild dogwood... these things were only used to feed pigs in the past.
I never thought that it's not only edible for pigs, but can also be used as a medicinal herb. In the future, if someone in my family has a simple illness, I can make some medicinal soup myself."
Several people nodded continuously.
"That's right, it's true. Rather than saying we're fleeing famine, it's more like we're learning things along the way.
I learned to identify herbs and simple treatment methods. More importantly, by identifying herbs, even the words related to them, as well as the stories behind them, are now known to everyone in our village..."
When this was mentioned, everyone's face was filled with joy.
Uncle San, the oldest man in the crowd, was stroking his beard and sighing.
“To be honest, when I first heard about fleeing famine, I thought that since I was already old, I could just die in the village without burdening my children and grandchildren, and without suffering.
My grandson stopped me and said that even if he had to carry me on his back, he had to carry me to the end of the field.
I couldn't bear to let him go, so I just dragged him away.
I have so many feelings along the way. As everyone said, we are not fleeing from famine, but learning things all the time.
But you also have to remember that all the changes in our industry were brought to us by the Wen family.
From now on, if anyone is dishonest and ungrateful towards the Wen family, we will punish them according to the village rules."
The old lady quickly waved her hands. "No need for that."
As they traveled along the way, they gave guidance and support to their fellow villagers because they knew that it was difficult to support themselves alone.
Are you saying that those with high ideological awareness should pull in the whole village? Sorry, I really haven't thought about it that way.
Many things are just a favor, and now I'm being solemnly asked to remember this favor...
Even though the old lady was thick-skinned, her face burned when she heard this.
The old village chief agreed seriously. "No, I also think what Third Uncle said is right. I remember everything that happened to my elder sister's family along the way.
