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

At noon, everyone had a good meal, rested for a while, and then started on their journey.

As we walked further forward, the leaves on the trees changed noticeably.

From deep green to withered yellow. Before they knew it, they had been in the mountains for more than twenty days.

At this time, they walked into a pine forest. Many squirrels saw them coming and ran up the trees in fear.

Then he hid behind the tree trunk, secretly poked his head out to look at them, and kept making squeaking sounds.

Wang Chengzi saw Xiaomi was curious and put her on his neck so that she could see more clearly.

Seeing that Xiaomi was reading seriously, Tuanzi found the introduction of squirrels from the database and read it to her.

Tuanzi: “Squirrels have large, bright eyes and long ears with a tuft of hair at the tip, which is especially noticeable in winter.

When squirrels find abundant food in the fall, they use tree holes or dig holes in the ground to store fruits and other food, and block the hole entrance with soil or fallen leaves.

Xiaomi nodded as she listened. Suddenly, something flashed through her mind.

So he stopped Tuanzi and said, "Wait, what did you say?"

Tuanzi said it again.

Xiaomi repeated in a low voice: "To hunt, hide in tree holes. What do squirrels eat?"

Tuanzi quickly added: "They mainly feed on nuts such as acorns, chestnuts, and walnuts."

Xiaomi slapped his head and said, "Yes, squirrels eat nuts. It's autumn now. They must have collected a lot of nuts and hidden them."

Tuanzi thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. But he didn't understand why Xiaomi was so excited.

"Xiaomi, isn't this normal? Squirrels store food for the winter in the fall."

Xiaomi chuckled twice: "Tuanzi, you don't understand this, their food is also food for us."

Tuanzi realized: "I understand, you want to find their food and eat it."

"How clever. Tuanzi, whether we can have enough to eat depends on you. Tell me when you find the food cave."

So Tuanzi began to search the nearby tree holes carefully.

Soon, they found one. Tuanzi: "Xiaomi found it. Go ahead, I'll tell you when we get there."

Xiaomi quickly asked Wang Chengzi to take her there. Wang Chengzi didn't even ask Xiaomi where she was going. He just followed her.

"Here we are. This is the one in front of us."

Xiaomi looked up at the thick tree and found a hole in it. The hole was about two meters from the ground.

The entrance of the hole is very smooth and flat, and it is obvious that it was created by countless squirrels entering and exiting it.

"Dad, look at this tree hole." Xiaomi pointed at the tree hole and asked Wang Chengzi to look.

Wang Chengzi followed Xiaomi's finger and saw a tree hole. He said to Xiaomi, "My dear, what's wrong with the tree hole?"

As he said that, he put his hand in. Xiaomi looked at him and hissed. She thought that her father really trusted her.

I just put my hand in without worrying about whether there were bugs, snakes or anything like that inside.

Wang Chengzi reached his hand in and felt around inside. He frowned slightly, then relaxed.

He took his hand out of the hole and found a handful of hazelnuts in his hand.

Wang Chengzi hugged Xiaomi and spun around. He gave her another big kiss on the face. Even his voice was filled with joy.

He laughed heartily. Then he said to Xiaomi, "My dear, you are really the lucky star of our Wang family. Dad loves you so much."

After that, he carried Xiaomi to the front of the team. When Chief Qian saw Wang Chengzi running over with Xiaomi in his arms, he still had a smile on his face.

He joked, "Chengzi, what good thing happened to you? Did you find some money?"

Wang Chengzi smiled and shook the hazelnuts in his hand. He said to Chief Qian, "Isn't this a good thing? In my opinion, this is more exciting than picking up money."

When Chief Qian saw the hazelnuts in Wang Chengzi's hand, he stopped smiling. With a tense face, he asked Wang Chengzi, "Chengzi, where did you get them?"

Wang Chengzi pointed in the direction of the tree hole and said, "It was taken out of the tree hole. It must be some animal's winter food. It's full. I guess there shouldn't be a shortage."

After hearing this, Chief Qian immediately asked Wang Chengzi to take him there. Wang Chengzi held Xiaomi in his arms and walked back.

When he left, he did not forget to stop by Wang's house and picked up a sack.

After they arrived under the tree, Wang Chengzi started to dig out the hole in the tree. Qian Youliang took the sack and continued to dig out the things under the tree.

Patriarch Qian and Xiaomi were sitting on the ground under the tree.

Xiaomi took out a sweet potato jelly and chewed it. Then he looked up and watched them busying themselves. This sweet potato jelly was also won in the sign-in lottery.

These days, I have been drawing sweet potato chips, which are steamed from small sweet potatoes. They are exquisitely golden in color, with a honey-colored glow. They are fragrant and sweet.

"Grandpa Clan Leader, do you want to eat?" Seeing that Clan Leader Qian was looking at her, Xiaomi took out another sweet potato from her bosom and handed it to Clan Leader Qian.

Chief Qian didn't want to eat Xiaomi's food. He just stared at Xiaomi in a trance.

But at this moment, looking at the dried sweet potatoes handed over by Xiaomi, I could smell the sweet scent of the sweet potatoes.

I couldn't help it, I raised my hand to take it and said to Xiaomi: "Grandpa thanks you, my dear."

Chief Qian took a bite and found it soft, sticky and sweet. It was unlike the dried sweet potatoes he had sun-dried at home, which were very dry and hard. He then chewed it slowly.

So the old man and the young man sat under the tree and watched Wang Chengzi and Qian Youliang dig holes in the tree.

Qian Youliang and his companions dug for more than a quarter of an hour before they cleaned the tree hole. The number of hazelnuts, chestnuts, pine nuts and other nuts they dug out far exceeded Wang Chengzi's expectations.

The sack of food at home was actually half full, probably about 50 to 60 kilograms.

They were all very happy. Chief Qian's hands were shaking as he touched the sack.

"It would be great if there were a few more caves like this. If we save some food, it will definitely be enough for us to get out of the Daqing Mountains." Qian Youliang said with emotion.

Patriarch Qian and Wang Chengzi also nodded.

Listening to Qian Youliang's words, Xiaomi took another bite of the sweet potato and said to Qian Youliang, "Yes, there are some. Who said there are none?"

Qian Youliang almost knelt down before Xiaomi after hearing this: "My dear, where is it? Nowhere else can I find it? Just tell me and I promise to give it to you.

You are the lifesaver of our village. From now on, you are my dear aunt. Aunt, please say something. I will go right away."

After hearing what his youngest son said, Chief Qian curled his lips and said nothing.

He also agreed. It was just that he was too old to bring himself to do that. As long as he could save the lives of the villagers, he would be fine even if he called me grandma.
