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

Wei Ci and Song Hexuan sat beside the campfire, chatting from time to time about the interesting things that happened today.

"Brother, I have never dared to imagine such a life before."

Song Hexuan drank wine and looked at Wei Ci beside him.

Wei Ci smiled and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Now, I also have a wife and children. I can't live with my head on the edge of a knife all day long."

"Well, you have to pay for your life to live a wealthy life. It's better to live a comfortable life like this now. You only have to worry about daily necessities. It's time to start a family and start a business." Song Hexuan nodded, feeling that he didn't have to worry about losing his head. "

Over the years, he and Wei Ci have been dependent on each other, taking care of the whole family. The relationship between the two brothers has become deeper and deeper. It is not an exaggeration to say that they would die for each other.

"Master, there are many wounded people coming down the mountain." Wei Yi suddenly came over and bowed to the two of them.

"Oh? What does it look like? Describe it to me."

"It's like this, Master. When I look at this group of people, they look a bit like an army I formed myself. The wounded who are sent here are also soldiers."

"Oh! The city lord has escaped, but I didn't expect someone to step up and form an army. It's interesting. You can continue to watch. If the identity is found out, we can help if there is any need."

"it is good."

After all, it was not a problem to use a makeshift earthen stove to cook every day, so everyone decided to go find clay and make an earthen kang.

It must be said that the products in the mountains are so rich. Not only did they find the clay and stones they needed, they also found a large field of kudzu.

Everyone was divided into two groups. One group went out with hoes to dig kudzu roots, while the other group stayed in the camp to burn earthen stoves.

This patch of kudzu was accidentally discovered by Shen Nan. Although she had never seen kudzu in real life, she once watched a video by a rural blogger and the kudzu in it was exactly like this one.

The kudzu vines are very thick, probably thicker than my own arm, and have grown for who knows how many years.

"Xiao Nan, are you sure this is really edible? Uncle Li Zheng is so old that he has never seen anything like this before. Has he really seen this kind of thing?

I just dug with a hoe, and when the hoe went down, it almost made a gap. How can our teeth move? "Li Zheng asked around the green vine in front of him.

"Uncle, what we want to eat is not this, but the rhizome at the bottom." She looked helplessly at the little old man in front of her, her eyebrows almost wrinkled into a knot. She turned her head helplessly, trying hard not to laugh out loud. Come.

"really?"

"Of course it's true."

Not long after, Ono called someone over.

"Second girl, what are your orders?"

"Please help me dig out all the kudzu roots in this area. I will prepare delicious food for you then."

When everyone heard that there was something delicious to eat, they immediately swung their hoes and dug at the roots of the trees at their feet, without even considering whether the job was tiring or not.

The rhizome of the kudzu root that has been growing for decades is deeply rooted in the soil.

It's as difficult as it is to dig. Everyone dug almost to more than one meter underground, but they haven't completely dug out the kudzu root yet.

I continued digging in the direction of the kudzu root for almost half an hour, and finally the complete picture of the kudzu root was revealed, a rhizome almost 3 meters long.

This root is really too thick, about three times larger than the vine. This kudzu root alone is estimated to weigh almost a hundred kilograms.

If all of this was dug out, dozens or hundreds of kilograms of kudzu powder could be produced.

She helped with a hoe. At first, she thought digging the soil was quite interesting. Watching the kudzu slowly reveal its original shape in front of everyone, it felt good and very fulfilling.

But as time went by, the friction between the hoe handle and her hand increased. She only felt that her hand was dry, and she didn't pay much attention. After a while, a few blisters appeared on the joints of her fingers?

"Second sister, what's wrong with your hand? There's water flowing." Sanwa looked at her hoe handle in shock. There were obvious water stains on it, but it hadn't rained in this mountain for a long time, and it was clear that there was only dry weather here. Mud, where does the water come from?

"Ah?" She followed Sanwa's line of sight and discovered that there was a blister on her middle finger. It had burst, and the pus flowing out of it was stuck to the handle of the hoe.

"Second sister, why do you have so many blisters on your hands?" Sanwa looked at her left hand again. There were also two blisters on it, and there was another blister on the little finger of her right hand. They were densely packed and looked a little scary.

The blisters were rubbed so hard that they looked like they were about to burst at any moment. Xiaoye took the hoe from her hand painfully, pushed her to sit next to her, and did not allow her to work anymore.

Shen Nan was a little embarrassed because the original owner had been doing the job for so many years. The skin on her hands was rough and fleshy. She thought she was fine, but she didn't expect that she was so bad that she couldn't even do digging work.

"Xiaonan, just rest nearby. We, the old men, have to do these jobs. You are a girl and have a smart mind. Just watch us work. If there is anything wrong, you can tell us immediately. Uncle said, I will change it."

After this experience, she was too embarrassed to pick up a hoe anymore, so she simply looked for the location of kudzu nearby. Wherever there was kudzu, she would stick a small stick in the ground to remind everyone.

Everyone followed him to mark the ground and dug several nests of large kudzu roots.

The dug kudzu root was placed randomly on the ground, looking no different from an ordinary tree stump. At this time, everyone still couldn't believe what delicious food could be made from this tree root.

"Li Zheng, Xiao Nan, how many tree roots have you dug? Is it possible that this thing can really be made into food?" When Uncle Wang came back carrying dry firewood, he passed by this place and said hello to them.

"Uncle Wang, you fought so quickly and brought back such a big load of firewood." Shen Nan couldn't help but sigh when he saw Uncle Wang carrying a big load of firewood on his back.

"Yes, yes, it's still early now. If I carry this one back, can I chop off two more backs later?"

"Okay, then go back quickly and be careful where you step."

"okay."

After a while, several villagers passed by nearby. They looked at Shen Nan, Li Zheng and others digging kudzu roots, but they still couldn't understand that it would be better to go find two backs of dry firewood to do such a thing.

"Sanwa, Nannan, call everyone back for dinner!" Nian stood at the entrance of the camp, made his hands like a trumpet, and shouted into the forest in front of him.

"Mom, I heard that." Sanwa heard his mother calling them to go home for dinner, and responded immediately, and then said to everyone: "Mom is ready to cook, let's take the things back for dinner, I'm almost starving to death. "

"Let's go, let's carry all these kudzu roots back."
