Scavenging wasteland in the last days: I have fields, cattle and a villa

Grandma Sun had a broken leg and had to stay in bed. The family lost a labor force and her life was miserable now. She could only eat one meal a day.

So the youngest daughter Sun Fangfang hated Jiang Yuan and always wanted to find a chance to take revenge, but she was afraid that she would also break her leg.

A broken leg is not terrible, but the days after a broken leg are really unbearable.

She is forty-three years old but has not yet married. Originally, her brother and sister-in-law disliked her, but because her mother took care of her, she lived a pretty good life.

But now her mother has a broken leg, and her brother and sister-in-law despise her as a useless old thing. They only give her a bowl of vegetables for two days. She sees her mother getting thinner and thinner, and her condition becomes worse and worse.

If his legs were no longer in good shape, he would probably be left at home to starve to death.

Sun Fangfang hated Jiang Yuan and wanted to take revenge on her, but she was afraid that her legs would be broken and she would become like her mother.

No, given how disgusted her brother and sister-in-law were towards her, she might not even be given food and would starve to death immediately.

So she didn't dare to take revenge, so she could only try her best to find some food and take it back to prevent her brother and sister-in-law from driving her out.

So besides cursing Jiang Yuan and Lin Xiao for a good death, she dared not do anything and strode forward to scavenge elsewhere.

But there were also brave poor people who were not in the robbery team last time and followed Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan didn't pay attention at first, but after walking for almost half an hour, the three men behind her still followed her all the way. Even when they passed several wastelands with wild vegetables on the roadside, they didn't see them looking for food.

She was a little tired of being followed.

"The road is so wide, do you have to walk with me?"

Jiang Yuan turned around sharply.

The three men were very cautious and immediately hid behind the tree.

Although they had not experienced it personally, they knew that she had weapons and had to guard against them.

That dog look... made Jiang Yuan particularly speechless.

"You go your way, and we go ours. Does this road belong to your family, and you are the only one who can walk it?"

Then she heard the shameless speech.

I don't usually see a tail behind me. This time I came out alone. These people may think that I am easy to bully.

From the looks of them, they didn't look like they were here to rob. They probably thought she had some secret base and wanted to follow her to scavenge.

Anyway, she has no goal today, so she can follow her as long as they have the patience.

Then she continued walking, followed by the three men.

This walk lasted nearly half an hour.

It was getting brighter and the sun was rising.

Finally they couldn't stand it anymore.

"Damn girl, are you kidding us?"

There are obviously a lot of green vegetables, cabbage, mulberry leaves, etc. on the way. As long as you look for it patiently, you will definitely get something.

But she ignored it and kept moving forward.

The three of them couldn't bear it any longer and strode forward, blocking Jiang Yuan's way.

"We each went our own way, and I didn't let you follow. Why am I just kidding you?"

Who just said it was irrelevant?

Jiang Yuan looked at the three of them with a sneer.

"Where...are you going?"

The man in the middle asked through gritted teeth.

They are all in their thirties, less than 1.7 meters tall and thin.

This is a characteristic of men in the slums. Probably due to malnutrition, he not only looks thin, but also has a dark complexion. In more severe cases, he looks like he has been poisoned.

In short, it is unhealthy.

"I think there are fewer people and more food in places farther away."

Jiang Yuan narrowed her eyes and smiled as she explained.

Look at her, she is so kind, there is nothing wrong with her words, right? They all have good intentions.

"Are you sick? Are you afraid of encountering wild animals if you stay far away?"

The expressions on the three people's faces changed when they saw her, and they even gave up and wanted to go back.

The living area of ​​the slum is also divided into three areas.

One is a residential area, the second is a scavenging area, and the third is a hunting area.

The poor have always been in the scavenging areas and rarely come near hunting areas.

The reed jungle that Jiang Yuan saw was the dividing line between the scavenging area and the hunting area, and Zhang Hu's residence was nearby.

The closer you get to the hunting area, the more dangerous it is. Therefore, the poor basically scavenge in familiar areas of life, and almost only move around two-thirds of the scavenging area. There are very few people in the one-third close to the hunting area. go.

Although the possibility of wild beasts running into scavenging areas is small, it is not unheard of, and if it does happen it can be fatal.

It is no exaggeration to say that even wild rats or pheasants are lethal to humans.

The place where Lin Xiao and Jiang Yuan found a large amount of food and medicinal materials was the one third where other poor people were unwilling to move.

"I can't help it. I don't have much food at home. If you don't take risks, you will starve to death. Do you want to come together? We can also take care of you."

Jiang Yuan smiled.

The three men looked at each other.

Their family doesn't have much food, but...it's not to the point where they'll starve to death if they don't find food for a day. Do they deserve to risk their lives?

The little girl had no idea how terrifying it was in the distance.

"It's almost autumn, we can't go far."

Jiang Yuan thought it would take some effort to drive away the three followers.

But after hesitating for a while, the three of them actually turned back.

He also said something without beginning or end.

Autumn, isn’t it the harvest season? Can't go far?

Jiang Yuan has been scavenging in that third of the area recently. Except for encountering a green python and a talking red vine, the rest... seems to be going well, right?

Although if Lin Xiao hadn't reacted quickly the first time and had the space to help the second time, she would definitely have died, but didn't she survive in the end?

So these people are less courageous than me.

Jiang Yuan watched them turn back and look for food in the mulberry forest not far away, silently despising them.

A group of people who have both evil intentions and courage are really not scary at all.

She continued to stride forward and reached the place where she had dug the melons.

Brother Wang is probably busy setting traps and hunting these days, so he hasn't been here for a while.

She dug for more than an hour and harvested twenty-one pig liver grasses. She also marked several places where there were soil melons.

The pig liver grass weighs nearly sixty kilograms, and there are probably two or three potatoes harvested. The total adds up to at least one hundred kilograms.

This is not feasible. My strength is too small. If I get lucky and find a lot of food after a whole day of scavenging, will I not be able to take it back?

Jiang Yuan was a little troubled.

But then I thought that Brother Wang Hu lived nearby. If I couldn't take him back, maybe I could ask him for help.

Thinking about it, she dug out a soil melon from the marked place, and then went straight to Wang Hu's house with sixty pounds of pig liver grass.

But when he saw that he was alone, he was also very surprised.

But she didn't reveal much about Lin Xiao's whereabouts. She only said that she was sick and needed to rest more.

Then he gave away the soil melon he dug.

"Brother Wang, Lin Xiao hasn't come with me these days. I can't carry too much by myself, so I want to put all the herbs I find around here with you, and wait until you have time to go to the exchange. Can you help me exchange the herbs for points?"

A twenty kilograms of local melon should be worth the hard work.
