Quick Wear: All the villains who raised me have been cleansed

"This is truly a life-saving rain, but I wonder if it will come again in the future?"

Song An leaned against the doorstep, watching his daughter and son-in-law busy outside.

"It's said in the book that if you wait for the clouds to clear, you will see the moon. We have been suffering from disasters for long enough, and it's time for the climate to return to normal."

"Dad, it's getting dark and there are a lot of mosquitoes outside. You should go back to the house with mom!"

"Now that there is no shortage of water at home, I will go to the mountains to find some food tomorrow. As long as we can get through this period and have two or three more rains, we can plant crops in the fields."

Lin Wanwan persuaded Song An to go back to the house to rest. There were indeed some mosquitoes in the yard.

Mosquitoes won't come near her, but they will bite other people from time to time.

"Okay, remember to fumigate it with mugwort later. Your mother and I will go back to the house first. You two should also finish your work and go back to the house to rest!"

In this day and age, people close the door and go to bed as soon as it gets dark.

There was no entertainment, and coupled with the drought, everyone was too hungry to have any strength.

After finally having a full meal today, the family was reluctant to waste their energy, so after Lin Wanwan and Zixian cleaned up the kitchen, they returned to the house.

"My dear wife, go to bed early. I will go into the mountains with you tomorrow."

As long as farming can be resumed here, the people who have fled will return one after another, and the officials of the court will then be back in place.

Although the previous county magistrate ran away with his wife and children.

But the imperial court will not let go of any land that can be governed.

Zixian seemed to see hope, and his spirits and energy were better than before.

"Tomorrow, you should rest at home for another day. I will go to the mountains to take a look first."

"The edible things in the mountains have probably been found by other villagers. One more of you won't make much difference."

"You have helped me a lot by taking good care of Xiaobao and our parents at home!"

Zixian was deeply moved when he heard his wife say this.

It turned out that his wife had always known about his efforts, and it seemed that the things he said two days ago were just because of hunger and irritability.

My wife is not such an ungrateful person!

"You should also rest early. When the officials return, I will be able to receive the scholar's subsidy. Then our family will surely live better and better."

After saying a few words of comfort, Lin Wanwan lay down on the bed.

This body of hers had been hungry for a long time and its quality was extremely poor.

Now that I can rest, I'd better take a good rest.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Lin Wanwan woke up early.

She had very good hearing, so she naturally heard the old man coughing coming from the west wing.

It seems that I need to find some herbs and make some cough medicine for me.

Seeing Zixian and Xiaobao still sleeping soundly on the bed, Lin Wanwan tiptoed out of bed.

But when she opened the door, Zixian was still woken up.

"You don't have to get up so early, go back to sleep!"

"Wait until I finish making breakfast, then it won't be too late to get up."

Lin Wanwan gave some instructions and went to the kitchen.

I took out two sweet potatoes and threw them into the pot, and cooked another pot of sweet potato millet porridge.

Is there anything to eat in her space?

It’s a pity that now is not the time to take it out. Not to mention her family, it is estimated that the entire village does not have any ready-made food.

Being able to take out some sweet potatoes and millet is already very eye-catching. If you take out something better, it will arouse the suspicion of your family.

But we can't just give nothing away, otherwise our family will starve to death.

After Lin Wanwan finished cooking the porridge, she drank a bowl of it herself, found a backpack in the corner of the kitchen, and wanted to go out with it.

Zixian had already taken care of Xiaobao and appeared at the door neatly dressed.

When he saw Lin Wanwan was about to go out, he was about to ask to go with her.

Then Lin Wanwan waved at him.

"Take care of the house, I'll be back soon!"

Zixian saw that Lin Wanwan quickly disappeared at the gate of the courtyard. He thought that he would not be able to catch up with her even if he ran out, so he carried the child to the kitchen.

He served the sweet potato and millet porridge and let it cool, then went to the west wing to pick up the two old people to come out for dinner.

Let’s not talk about what happened at home for now, let’s just say that Lin Wanwan came to the mountain.

Looking at the forest where even the bark of the trees had been stripped away, she felt a little desperate.

In a place like this, what can you find to eat?

But in order not to arouse her family's suspicion, she still walked into the mountains.

In addition to her, there are many other villagers who get up early in the mountains.

Everyone was like her, carrying baskets or backpacks, and searching everywhere with machetes and sickles in their hands.

Some people on the road recognized Lin Wanwan, but more people were looking for her on their own.

Everyone was so hungry that they could only move with the help of a belt.

No one had the energy to start a conversation.

Lin Wanwan was walking in the woods. All the leaves on the trees had been plucked away, so she could only look under the trees.

All the edible things had been pulled away, and the only things left were some wild grass roots that even an old cow couldn't chew.

But even these wild grass roots are wanted by people.

They would take the wild grass roots back home, roast them by the fire, and then grind them back and forth with a stone mill.

Finally, grind it into powder and drink it with water.

Although this method is time-consuming and laborious, at least you can save your life.

No one cares about the taste, they just want to survive.

Lin Wanwan did not compete with everyone for the wild grass roots, but continued to look for other food.

Seeing two old men searching everywhere in the mountains, Lin Wanwan felt a little bit reluctant.

She took out some sweet potatoes from the space, and then found a very remote mountain ridge where normal people would not come.

I dug a hole and threw the sweet potatoes in, and even threw the sweet potato vines on the ground.

Then he pretended to have just discovered it, pulled out the sweet potato vines and put them in the backpack.

Then pick out the sweet potatoes one by one.

Seeing the two old men looking at her, she looked around and then waved to them.

"Uncle Qian and Madam Qian, you are here to find food too, right? Come here quickly, don't let anyone find you!"

When the two saw Lin Wanwan calling them, they immediately put down the grass roots and walked over, supporting each other.

"I found a sweet potato here. It won't be easy to share it with you guys, so you better hide it!"

Lin Wanwan dug out two fist-sized sweet potatoes from the pit and threw them onto the embankment.

"It turns out to be Mr. Lin, you really saved our lives!"

"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone about your discovery of sweet potatoes!"

Aunt Qian took the sweet potatoes and quickly stuffed them under the basket, then carefully covered it with grass roots.

Before, it was the son and daughter-in-law who came out to find food, but because they had not gotten any supplements for a long time, they both fell ill.

The old couple had no choice but to go out and look for food themselves.

For three days in a row, there was nothing to eat except grass roots.

I didn’t expect that today, thanks to Mr. Lin, I could eat some fresh sweet potatoes.

"Didn't it rain last night? I think things will get better and better in the future, so don't worry too much!"

"I have some sweet potato vines here. If you don't mind, I can share some with you!"
