In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

"Hey, it was Dashan and his mother who died. The snake was too poisonous. In less than two hours, both of them died." When Li Zheng said this, he felt deeply guilty for the two of them.

"Da Shan lost his father a long time ago, and he and his mother depended on each other for life. Unexpectedly, he...hey, it's all my fault."

"Uncle, it's not your fault. We are also responsible. It's because we didn't take good care of the two of them." Lin Hu was extremely sad.

"It's not everyone's fault, but those beasts. If it weren't for these barbarian soldiers, we wouldn't have hid in the mountains. If we hadn't hid in the mountains, the two of them wouldn't have died." Li Zheng was crying, feeling even more uncomfortable. .

"Uncle, please relax, this is not your fault, nor is it everyone's fault. These barbarian soldiers are coming for our Yan country and have nothing to do with you." Shen Nan comforted.

"Yes, we don't know when they will be gone. They can sleep in the mountains forever, which is considered a good death." Li Zheng's words made everyone feel happy.

Yes, they themselves don’t know how long they can live, so just live as long as they can.

"By the way, uncle, we don't have any spare houses here for the time being. We can only rest here for one night. Tomorrow we will organize people to go out to cut trees and build wooden houses.

Everyone looked around and saw that indeed, they only had two rows of houses here, and the Shen family brought more than 70 people with them. They must have slept together.

My group had received so much help from their family over the years, so why did they have the nerve to occupy other people's houses? Besides, there were quite a few of them, with 50 to [-] people in their prime, so why worry about not being able to build a house?

They had been starving and freezing in the mountains for so many days before, because they were afraid that the sound of felling trees would alert the barbarians who came to search in the mountains. Now that they had the protection of the Shen family, they naturally built the wooden house with peace of mind.

"Uncle, if you don't mind, just build a shed aside."

"Okay." Li Zheng was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

"By the way, take all these things back. We are not short of food, and we can't ask for your things."

Nian pointed to the food on the table that the villagers had brought out. When they were invited to have a meal just now, the villagers insisted on paying them with food, and Nian couldn't refuse at any cost.

"These are all we brought down from the mountains along the way, and they are all given to you. We are just filling our stomachs right now. These things are too expensive." Li Zheng pointed to the small mountain of things piled on the table.

There are fungus, white fungus, several common mushrooms, a small bag of dendrobium, and a sack of pine nuts.

"How can this work?"

"With your protection, we naturally have to get something as reward. This is a rule passed down by our ancestors. I will naturally give it to you. Besides, this is what we all want, so just take it."

Nian couldn't resist, and everyone insisted again and again, so she could only put the things away.

After lunch, Li Zheng took everyone to cut down trees nearby. Nian asked Shen Nan to stay and talk to her.

"What's wrong, mother?"

"Nan Nan, how would you live without your mother? The world is so chaotic. Fortunately, your eldest sister is back, and so is your mother."

Nian was still recalling what happened that year, and couldn't help but feel sad.

"Okay, mother, how many years have passed and our life is very good now. Don't bother with that."

"Okay, okay, okay, Mom, I'm not annoyed anymore, I'm not annoyed anymore, you can peel the pine nuts with me, Mom will fry the pine nuts for you today."

"I don't know where they found so many pine buds. I'm afraid they knocked all the pine nuts off the trees. Then what would the squirrels eat?"

"What do you care about? People have their own way of living, and wild animals have their own way of living."

These pine nuts are all dry. If you knock them with a wooden stick, the pine nuts inside will fall out. You don't need to peel them out one by one with your hands.

A sack of pine nuts was processed in just ten minutes with the combined efforts of everyone. Nian cleaned the iron pot and poured the pine nuts into the iron pot for frying.

There is no need to add anything to fresh pine nuts. Just fry them in an iron pot over low heat and they will be very fragrant.

"Nannan, try it and see if it's cooked. This thing is delicious when cooked. It's more fragrant than pumpkin seeds." Nian shoveled a shovelful of pine nuts for her alone and put them on a large plate to cool. Just like treating a child, he looked at her and smiled.

Facing her mother's earnest gaze, Shen Nan didn't care whether the pine nuts were hot or not, so she took one and stuffed it into her mouth.

Crack the pine nuts open with your teeth. After eating one, he was full of praise: "Mom, it's cooked, it's very fragrant."

"It's good when it's cooked, it's good when it's cooked, then I'll shovel all these and eat them at my leisure."

"Okay." Naturally, such a delicious thing cannot be kept for too long, so we wait for Nian's pine nuts to be fried.

When everyone has something to do, they grab a handful and put it in their pockets. When their teeth are itchy, they take out a small handful and knock them.

The two plates of pine nuts quickly reached the bottom. Nian was very helpless, knowing that these greedy little kids couldn't keep anything.

The villagers were not as strong as Wei Ci and they, so they usually had to work together to carry a piece of wood back.

None of us are indifferent, and we all try to help if we can.

Help them split the wood, and the stronger ones are responsible for laying the foundation, inserting the treated wood deeply into the foundation, and then filling the holes with soil and compacting them.

The labor force of more than 100 people cannot be underestimated. They work from lunch at noon until dark.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, the wooden houses that the villagers will live in have been initially completed. At least everyone will not freeze to death when they go in to sleep at night.

After such a big help, the villagers decided to treat their family members to a meal. There were more than 70 people in the Shen family. The food consumed in one meal was not a small amount, so the Nian family naturally refused.

"Sister Nian, don't worry. When we were in the village that day, the people in our village made a lot of money thanks to the workshop run by your girl.

In fact, there are a lot of things to bring up the mountain, not to mention we have so many family members. If each family contributes a little, we can treat you to a meal. You must eat this meal today. "

It was hard to refuse such hospitality, so Nian had no choice but to agree. I want to help them more in the next time.

In order to treat them to this meal, many people took out all the bacon, dried fish and rabbit they had collected at home.

With so many things, the meal they cooked was no worse than the meal the Shen family treated them to at noon.

Everyone is very proud of this and are not unhappy because of the lack of food. This is why the Shen family is willing to help the people in the village.

If there are such neighbors and they do not develop good relations, it would be a shame for them.
