However, no one came forward to speak up for her even though she was howling.
On the contrary, many people pointed out the dishonesty of Mr. Zheng.
"Ren Xiushui taught you things and you got into trouble. If I were you, I would have to beat you up if you were so stubborn."
"That's right, Xiushui, don't bother with this kind of person. We are not the same kind of people as her."
Boss Zheng was packing up and listening to what was happening here.
Originally, he was thinking about letting the women solve the problem.
I know that my wife is sometimes unreasonable, but I also think it's just a trivial matter. What if you, Wen Xiushui, teach her a lesson?
However, he never expected that Wen Xiushui, at such a young age, would be so disrespectful to his wife.
Stepping on a woman's face would be a loss of face for him. So now that the situation was not right, Boss Zheng had no choice but to step forward.
"Come back here, you damn bitch! Yesterday, Mom said she'd punish you by not giving you any food today, and now you're messing with me again. Even though I'm young, I'm quite petty. Can you beat me?"
"I just wanted to make amends today so that my mother can calm down..."
The couple left with a grumble, accompanied by Old Lady Zheng's thunderous roar: "Don't give her any food."
…
After breakfast we set off again.
Unlike before when everyone was lazy and gossiping, today when they were on the road, everyone was busy and quickly rushed to cut dry grass and some vines while walking.
Inspired by the Wen family, many people now realize that simply fleeing famine is not enough.
You also need to collect more things, whether it is a straw mat or a straw sleeping bag, they are all necessary for escaping famine.
There is wisdom in numbers, and many people thought that since straw mats can be used as sleeping mats at night, they can also be worn around the body to keep warm when it is cold.
If I weave it a little longer, leaving enough ropes around it, can I tie it up at night and use it as a simple sleeping bag?
It’s just a matter of tying a few more knots when you sleep.
Just like that, after opening up our minds, the styles of sleeping bags have become more diverse.
Regardless of whether they were men or women, everyone was busy weaving as they walked.
Straw mats are good things. The more of them the better. You can use them as a cushion for your buttocks and tie them up to sleep on at night.
We set out again today, and the children took the initiative to ask to follow Sister Xiushui.
Because of the mountain road, the group moved slowly.
The adults agreed to the little ones' request.
Without Xiushui saying anything, Heimei had already greeted her brothers and sisters in advance.
"I've memorized everything. If I see something I haven't seen before, I'll bring it to my sister.
My sister is in charge of keeping everything, so all the food and drinks are given to her."
Xiushui smiled politely. It was really comfortable to have a sister who cared about everything.
The little ones responded loudly, and at first, a group of people rushed forward.
From time to time, one of them would cut a handful of half-dead grass, and another would pull a vine.
The little kids would dig up any unfamiliar plants they saw.
The speed of this group of people behind them became slower and slower.
Xiushui has always wanted to find some different plants. She wants something that can make money quickly.
After all, the Wen family has so many people, and it would be very annoying if they had no money.
We walked and searched all the way, and at noon we arrived at a cliff. It was cool and there was some water source.
So the old village chief decided that everyone should rest here at noon and cook something to eat.
There is only half an hour left.
The Wen family, who originally wanted to eat pancakes, now decided to cook some wild vegetable dumpling soup.
There is soup and dumplings, and some slices of pheasant caught last night. It smells so good!
Xiushui is now fully responsible for collecting everything, so scooping out coarse and thin noodles is not as troublesome as before.
Because of this, she no longer has to cook all the time.
After giving the flour to her second aunt, she went out with a few children to cut grass and look for wild animals.
It's the same in other families. Those who cook cook, those who collect firewood, cut grass and look for things all have clear division of labor.
Li still took the Wen brothers to go hunting. In a place like this, sometimes you have to be willing to fight.
In fact, Xiushui also wanted to go. After all, she had not received any living creatures so far.
The system does not accept dead things, it wants only living things, including plants.
Unfortunately, she didn't have any strong skills, and the Wen family didn't trust her, so she could only think about it.
It’s rare to have such a good place to take a break at noon, so Xiushui still wants to walk a little further.
I don’t know if she was just unlucky or what, but as she was walking, she suddenly disappeared.
"sister?"
Heimei had just pulled out a piece of juicy grass and was about to give it to her, but when she turned around, the person was gone.
She was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran back.
"elder sister……"
Seeing the big hole, Hei Mei was scared.
Xiushui, who was stunned by the fall, shook off the sand and stones on her head and then quickly responded.
"Hey, I'm fine, I just stepped into a sand pit full of dead leaves. I don't know who dug a trap here... Hey, Hei Mei, something seems wrong. There's a canal leading out...
This pit seems to be a natural cave."
At this time, Xiushui adapted to the darkness below and saw clearly the corridor full of vines in front of him. He confirmed that this was an underground river ditch that had been washed out.
"Don't panic, Hei Mei. Let me take a look ahead. There are a lot of wild vegetables down here. We'll have some wild vegetables to eat today."
Maybe because this place is dark and humid, there are indeed a lot of wild vegetables here.
There are a lot of purslane alone, and they look so juicy and pleasing to the eye.
