Chapter 105： Sweet as a jelly

Chapter 105: It’s as sweet as sugar

Early on the next morning, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru also ate steamed buns with the help of convenience.

Then there are Li Lao Er, Li Lao San and Li Lao Si...

While having breakfast, Jiayin drank porridge and glanced at the busy villagers guiltily, feeling a little uncomfortable.

After all, this is the time when everyone works together to survive.

She took the whole family to eat secretly, which is a bit unreasonable no matter how you say it.

But she is just a child, and she cannot expose the existence of space.

I can only try my best to protect my loved ones in my own way.

Hope to find opportunities in a while to use more food and vegetables in the space.

In this way, the villagers can also benefit...

The sun rises and the moon sets, dawn and night pass, and everyone advances towards the mountains step by step.

Perhaps they have gradually adapted to the intensity, and few of them are tired.

But if you eat sorghum and wild vegetable porridge, everyone will lose weight.

Seeing this, several old men called everyone to discuss whether they should stop and rest for a day and concentrate their efforts on hunting.

At least eat one meal of meat, otherwise everyone’s body will not be able to bear it.

This proposal was responded to by everyone. It was too painful to hear my stomach growling every day and have to trek hard.

The young men are even more happy. They have been learning for so long and are quite familiar with the slingshot, and they are finally going to put it to use.

Jiayin always wanted to find opportunities to get things from space, so he wanted to go hunting with him.

Li Laosi was afraid of danger, but Mrs. Li interceded for her granddaughter.

“Fu Niu is lucky, so take the Fourth Brother with you, maybe you can actually get something good.”

Li Laosi couldn't help it, so he wrapped his daughter tightly and held it tightly to his chest.

He was afraid that his daughter would be behind him and he would not be able to see anything if something happened.

Jiayin is also well-behaved. She lies in front of her father and rolls her big eyes, refusing to cause any trouble.

Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou took Jiayi Liu Yang, two villagers, and two and a half boys selected by Uncle Zhao, and then plunged into the mountains and forests to the south.

Hunting and exploring the way.

At the beginning, everyone was not lucky. They only encountered two pheasants, which was not enough to fill the teeth of the family.

Seeing that the sun was turning to the west, everyone was a little hungry and anxious.

Jiayin even prepared to bring out a few space rabbits, but God couldn’t bear to let them down.

A wild boar and two piglets appeared in front of everyone.

The mother and son were wagging their tails as they huddled under the roots of the tree. They had no idea that someone was already eager to put them into the iron pot.

As a precaution, Liu Biaotou asked the two villagers and the young men to disperse and slowly surround them to prevent the wild boar from escaping.

Li Laosi drew his bow and arrow, and when he saw Liu Biaotou, he also raised his long sword.

The long arrow in his hand shot out with a whoosh!

Wild boars like to wallow in mud ponds most, and the mud shell they roll around is their most natural armor.

Even with Li Laosi’s natural strength, when he shot an arrow, the arrow only penetrated half of the wild boar’s belly.

The wild boar is in so much pain that it goes crazy.

The two little wild boars were startled and ran away.

It happened to be in the direction of Liu Yang and Jiayi. The two boys jumped out and kicked the little wild boar head-on. The little wild boar was kicked over. Before it could get up, the two boys' hatchets hit it.

On the other side, Liu Biaotou's long knife also chopped off half of the wild boar's head.

The wild boar didn't even bark a few times before it died unwillingly.

Two villagers and the other two and a half young men, let alone taking action, before they could see what was going on, it was a foregone conclusion that the three wild boars would become dinner.

They were so happy, "There is pork to eat, there is pork to eat!"

“Hurry up and take it home!”

Boat Liu and Li Laosi were also happy. Just as Li Laosi was about to step forward, the good news became urgent.

She just borrowed the wild boar, but she did some tricks.

“Dad, there, there!”

She grabbed her father and struggled toward the small clearing behind a tree. An idea flashed in Li Laosi's mind, and he quickly rushed over.

Sure enough, a small patch of sweet potato vines grew behind the tree.

He took a deep breath and patted his daughter's back gently, feeling extremely complicated in his heart.

He did not dare to explore what magical ability his daughter had, whether it was luck, blessing, or something else.

He was just heartbroken that at such a young age, she had to flee with her family and wander all the time.

If she had been reborn in a wealthy family, wouldn't she have had to suffer so much, and she wouldn't have had to do everything possible to feed her family?

The steamed buns sneaked into their mouths at night, the suicidal rabbits that appeared from time to time, the pheasants that delivered eggs to their doorsteps, and the sweet potatoes growing in the barren mountains and ridges in front of them. Even the vines were fresh and tender and could be fried in a pot...

Jiayin felt her father's choking, and gently pressed against his chest, obediently saying nothing.

Actually, Dad didn’t know that all this was painful to others, but to her it was sweet happiness.

She is not afraid of hardship, but she is afraid of not having any relatives, wandering in the cold world like a lonely soul, waiting for aging and death.

She cherishes every bustling day now...

In the camp, everyone was preparing to light a fire and make dinner while looking southward, all thinking about the hunting team.

Seeing that after walking for most of the day, the hunting team has not returned yet.

Did you encounter any danger in the woods?

Uncle Zhao beat his legs in annoyance, blaming himself again for his incompetence.

If their legs and feet were fine, they would have gone to greet them long ago, why are they in such a hurry.

Fortunately, not long after, the villagers guarding outside the forest in the south started shouting loudly.

“I’m back, I’m back!”

“Wild boar, we’ve hit a wild boar!”

The whole camp was boiling, and men, women, old and young were running forward almost madly.

“It’ll be good to come back, it’ll be good to come back!”

“I’m really afraid something will happen to you!”

Mrs. Li quickly picked up her granddaughter and made sure she was fine before looking at the trophies her son had brought back.

The villagers couldn't help but cheer, "Why are there still sweet potatoes? So many! Enough to eat for several days!"

Liu Biaotou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "We were very lucky this time. We killed these three wild boars that were trying to eat, and then we found a patch of sweet potatoes growing there. No wonder the wild boars couldn't eat them. If you don’t open your eyes, you will be picked up by us all!”

Everyone carried the wild boar and sweet potato back with all their hands and feet, pretending not to notice the embarrassment of Li Laosi and others.

Since they didn’t bring bags, the basket they brought couldn’t hold so many sweet potatoes, so they had to take off their clothes and pants. Now that they were wearing middle coat, they really looked out of shape...

Uncle Zhao and others were also very excited and ordered the villagers to send the wild boar downstream of the water source to disembowel it.

The women kept their feet off the floor, preparing to boil water for stew.

Wash the sweet potato vines, chop them into small pieces, blanch them in water, and dip them in miso to taste delicious.

As for wild boar, it is best to stew it with dried vegetables brought from home.

Dried vegetables can also absorb the flavor of meat when eaten in soup.

Of course, the sweet potatoes are also washed a lot, cut into pieces, and stewed in the same way. When the time comes, they will be eaten by the children and the elderly with bad teeth. They will be fragrant and soft.

In the entire camp, men, women, old and young were all busy looking for wild boars and sweet potatoes.

Mrs. Li guessed that her granddaughter had played a role in it and hugged her. She couldn't get enough of her.

Jiayin suddenly remembered that she had brought a gift to her grandma, so she took the old lady to see the basket that Jiayi carried back.

There are a handful of small flowers in the basket. The stems and leaves are nothing special, but the petals are green.

Mrs. Li held it in her hand, looked left and right, and asked her granddaughter with a smile, "Did Fu Niu bring this to grandma?"

Jiayin nodded, lowered his head and sniffed, liking the fragrance of the flower very much.

When Mrs. Li wanted to talk again, Doctor Zhang happened to be passing by. When she saw the flower, her expression suddenly changed.

“Throw it away, throw it away quickly!”
