The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

After about two quarters of an hour, Old Lady Wang finally used a stick to dig out the cassava. The cassava was just dug out, and it was completely black. Because of the high temperature, it was still emitting hot steam.

He looked like he had no appetite at all.

Old Lady Wang took a piece of cassava, peeled off the skin, and was about to eat it.

"Mom" several voices came at the same time.

Old Mrs. Wang stopped and frowned as she looked at her son and daughter-in-law.

Wang Zhuzi: "Mom, I'm hungry, let me eat first."

Zhao Lishui also said, "Mom, I'm hungry too. Give me this first." She was about to take the cassava from Old Lady Wang's hand, but Old Lady Wang glared at her and she didn't dare to move.

Zhang Xing'er also said, "Mom, give this to me. I haven't tasted it yet." Then she went to get Grandma Wang's cassava.

Old Lady Wang lifted up the cassava and scolded, "Don't you have hands? How dare you snatch my things? Do you want me to chew them up and feed them to you?"

After saying this, she felt her hand lighten. It turned out that the cassava was taken away by Wang Chengzi. After Wang Chengzi took the cassava from Old Lady Wang's hand.

He took a bite so fast that no one could react.

When Old Lady Wang turned around, she heard a "gulp". A large mouthful of cassava was swallowed by Wang Chengzi.

Old Lady Wang's eyes suddenly turned red. She raised her hand high and slapped Wang Chengzi on the back. There was a "smack" sound. She didn't hold back her strength at all.

Everyone around felt a pain in their backs.

Wang Chengzi smiled and said, "Mom, I just ate a piece of cassava, please don't get angry."

Old Mrs. Wang was so angry that her fingers were shaking as she pointed at him.

How could she not get angry? Although Guaibao said that this thing was not poisonous, no one had eaten it.

Even the scholar Qian, who had seen so much of the world, had never seen this. She was old anyway. She would try it first to see if it was poisonous. If it was, it would be fine. Anyway, she had lived enough.

It would be better if it was not poisonous, so that the whole family would have more food and could survive longer.

But Wang Chengzi is only a little boy, if something happens to him, how will Zhang Xing'er and Gou Wa Xiaomi survive?

How can she live? At her old age, should she experience the pain of seeing her loved ones die?

How could Old Lady Wang not be angry?

Xiaomi saw that Old Lady Wang's hands were shaking, so she ran over and hugged her.

Said to Mrs. Wang: "Grandma, don't be angry. This is really edible. It's okay."

After hearing what Xiaomi said, Old Lady Wang calmed down. She just glared at Wang Chengzi fiercely and said, "Just wait for me. See how I'll deal with you later."

Wang Chengzi smiled at Old Lady Wang. He knew he had been impulsive. But he couldn't bear to watch his mother test the poison.

After laughing, he hugged Xiaomi to his arms. He touched Xiaomi's forehead with his forehead and said, "My dear. You are really my sweetheart."

After waiting for a while, Mrs. Wang saw that Wang Chengzi had no reaction. She was relieved.

The villagers also breathed a sigh of relief. Then Old Lady Wang distributed the remaining cassava to her family. She also gave one piece each to Chief Qian and Qian Yongye.

Chief Qian tasted it and found it soft and sticky. He felt full after eating one piece.

It is also very suitable for the elderly. It is relatively soft. Chief Qian did not expect that cassava tasted so good.

After eating the cassava, Chief Qian asked Xiaomi, "My dear, do you have any more cassava?"

Xiaomi nodded. "A lot. A huge area full of them."

Chief Qian stood up and quickly called on the villagers to dig cassava. These are all food.

The villagers were immediately excited when they heard this. They ran to the cassava field excitedly.

When we arrived at the place, we were even more excited when we heard Zhao Lishui say that there was cassava under the bushes.

Some people burst into tears, and Boss Zhou cried the most.

You know, he has been to Daqing Mountain eight times, if not ten times. But he didn't find anything edible.

If he had discovered it earlier, his brother might not have starved to death.

Thinking of this, Boss Zhou cried even louder.

The villagers saw that Zhou Lao Da was crying so hard, but they didn't laugh at him. They just patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Then they started digging cassava. Cassava is really hard to dig, but the villagers worked very hard.

This time, it was the same as the last time we dug for Yu Linglong. We dug together, and then divided it among the families. We tried to ensure fairness as much as possible.

But this time, Chief Qian also said that since it was the Wang family who discovered it, he would give the Wang family an extra 50 kilograms. The villagers had no objection.

It took two days to dig up all the cassava this time. And the harvest was abundant. Every household received 50 to 60 kilograms. The Wang family received more than 100 kilograms.

After the distribution, Chief Qian also gave a special instruction: Pregnant women and children should eat as much grain as possible and eat less cassava, which is poisonous.

Everyone agreed.

When fleeing famine, there were many children in Hehua Village. Every family had one. There was only one pregnant woman. Qian Lizheng's second daughter-in-law was just four months pregnant.

Qian Lizheng's family is well-off, and the nutrition for the early pregnancy is adequate. So her current condition is pretty good.

After they finished digging cassava, the villagers set out again. Digging cassava took two days, so they had to speed up to get down the mountain before winter came.

Otherwise, if winter comes before they leave the mountain, they might freeze to death.

Hunter Wang went ahead alone this time with dry food. Because the water they got from the stream last time had been used up, they had to find a water source as soon as possible.

This time, Hunter Wang set out with the mission of finding water.

As we went deeper into the mountains, we saw more plants. And because the sun was blocked by the tall trees, the plants on the ground looked full of life.

Even the ground began to grow wet and slippery with moss, making the road even more difficult to walk on.

The villagers were not in good condition either. After a long period without water, their mouths were dry and their lips were like the land that had not been moistened by rain for a long time.

Cracked, dry, with pieces of dead skin. They were breathing heavily. Like zombies, they walked forward numbly.

Xiaomi knew that she couldn't go on like this. She had to find a way to get the water out of her space. Otherwise, someone would not be able to hold on.

She turned to look at the Wang family, who were slightly better off than the villagers, but also looked overwhelmed.

I was thinking about how to get the water out properly. Suddenly, I saw a very special tree out of the corner of my eye.

The bark on the upper part of the tree remains green, but the bark on the lower part takes on a cracked bark appearance.

Looking up, the branches look like green corals, and they only grow at the top of the tree.

The shape of the trunk is also very unique. It is tapered at both ends and bulges in the middle. It looks like a bottle.

Bottles. Wait, bottles.
