Chapter 191

There was no way. The gate didn't open, so everyone had to wait outside the city.

Fortunately, Da'an county is not like Zhengwu county. Zhengwu county completely rejects refugees and is completely incompatible. However, Da'an county has released refugees in an orderly manner.

The refugees coming from behind need to go to the garrison to get bamboo sticks. There is a number on the bamboo sticks. Those who call the number can go in.

Liu Yuanwai, Xiao's family and Li Chengru's family each got a bamboo stick and waited outside.

Da'an county has a high altitude, strong sunshine and strong wind. I heard that the early refugees said that they were heated in the sun during the day, and would be cold at night. It's useless to wrap a quilt and need a fire.

There are few woods nearby, so you can't pick up firewood, but you can pick up cow dung and horse dung on the grassland to burn.

As soon as the refugees who came back heard about burning dung, they couldn't accept it at all. The old man Xiao complained first: "Why are the people here so dirty? Are cow dung and horse dung something that can be burned? How smelly it burns?"

The refugee in front said, "don't burn the cold dead, pick up the dry ones that don't smell. People here still use them to cook. Don't they all come like this?"

Lao Xiao disagreed: "anyway, I'd rather die cold than use that thing to keep warm."

Others also hesitated. Do they really want to pick up these things?

Seeing that everyone hesitated, ye Xiaoxian stood up again: "don't be hypocritical. The temperature difference here is large. We can dry the dead during the day and cold the dead at night. We'd better pick up some for preparation, otherwise it's too late when it's dark. Baofeng, Baocheng, Baoxue, big aunt and third aunt, let's pick up some."

Wang Mudan and Chen Ju also hesitated. They thought that those were feces. How smelly it should be to burn. In the past, there were pigs at home, and the pig feces were also very smelly. Once burned, I'm afraid the whole village would have to complain.

Ye Xiaoxian said, "do you want to be smelly or cold? Well, you're not afraid of cold, but what about these little ones? How old are Baoyang and Baoxue? Can they carry the cold?"

Wang Mudan and Chen Ju are unwilling to go.

There are wooden sticks on the carriage, which are used to prevent thieves. Now these sticks are used to hold cow dung and horse dung, and what they catch is brought back on the board.

Seeing that the Xiao family had gone to pick up dung, the family outside Liu had to go, otherwise, as other refugees said, it would be miserable to be frozen to death in the middle of the night.

I managed to escape here. I was not killed by bandits on the road. I was starved to death. It's said that I lost the dead.

Only Li Chengru and Feng can't move.

Li Chengru never did these things, but Fengsheng was a servant. Seeing that everyone went to pick it up, he had to pick it up.

But Feng Sheng was very good. He knew that if their master and servant had a fire alone, they would have to pick up a lot of dry dung. He went to find ye and said that everyone shared a fire at night, and the horse dung he picked up belonged to Xiao's family.

Of course, ye Xiaoxian won't refuse. Fengsheng and Li Chengru saved her life and came all the way. Because they were walking together, she was not afraid of bandits.

A group of people picked up horse dung and cow dung all afternoon and burned it when it was cold at night.

Seeing a lot of horse dung here, old man Xiao hid far away and refused to take a look.

After the horse dung is picked up, the next step is to find water.

Although it is dry and windy here, it is not so short of water. It is just difficult to find water. Because a lot of water is groundwater, and the river channel often changes. If there is grassland, there are small rivers everywhere. If it is a desert, water is rarely seen.

So people here follow the water. They won't live in the same place. When the water retreats, they will move to another place, commonly known as nomadism.

Liu Yuanwai went to ask the early refugees where there was water. The refugees said there was a spring not far ahead, but the water flow was very small, so they had to wait in line.

Ye Xiaoxian asks Xiao Tongshu to fetch a bucket of water. She wants to wash her hands, make something to eat before dark, and cook some porridge for everyone.

……

Seeing everyone sitting down to rest, ye Xiaoxian wanted to walk around.

Da'an county is a watershed, with desert Gobi on one side and grassland on the other. At present, although the green of grassland has faded a little, according to Ye Xiaoxian's experience, there should be a lot of wild vegetables in it.

Along the way, they eat mostly dry food and rarely eat green vegetables. They are almost constipated for many days.

Of course, there are many wild vegetables along the way, and there will even be some wild fruits in the forest, but no one dares to delay the trip. Besides, there are corpses everywhere. Who dares to eat the food there.

But it's different in Da'an county. No one here will starve to death. There are some good people in the city who come out from time to time to give some steamed buns to the starving people, so this area is very clean.

When ye Xiaoxian was a chef in the last life, some wild vegetables came to the hotel from time to time. Some rich people were tired of eating delicacies and came to look for this, many of them from the grassland.

She walked around and soon found the dandelion on the grassland. This dandelion is also called "mother-in-law Ding", which is a little bitter, but it will have a different taste if it is made into cakes with flour.

She picked some and carried them in her arms.

After a while, I found another kind of endive, which is sweet in bitterness and fragrant in sweetness. It can be used as soup, cold mix or raw food. It has the effect of clearing heat and detoxification.

The more you go on, the more surprises you will get. Finally, I found Platycodon grandiflorum, which is a baby. It can not only cook, but also have a strong medicinal effect. It is suitable to eat in dry weather.

But ye Xiaoxian didn't bring a cloth bag when she came. There were many wild vegetables. She didn't know where to put them after picking them. She was about to take off her coat to carry wild vegetables when she suddenly heard a sound behind her.

She turned and found Li Chengru standing behind her.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.

"Can't I come out for a breath?" Li Chengru is fierce.

When he was fierce, ye Xiaoxian laughed instead.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Chengru asked angrily.

Ye Xiaoxian smiled and said, "I was thinking that although you are a good-looking person and a rich child, you may not be happy in your short life?"

Li Chengru's face darkened: "why do you say I'm unhappy? I'm very happy."

"Oh? Then why do you keep a straight face all day? On the surface, you are fierce to everyone, but in fact, your heart is not like this. In fact, you are very kind and willing to help others, but you keep a straight face all day, which makes others afraid to approach you. Therefore, don't tangle and contradiction in your heart. On the surface, you don't care what others think of you, but in your heart, you want others to be sure You, don't you? "

Ye Xiaoxian analyzed it with a smile, but Li Chengru was angry: "don't think you know me very well. You don't know what kind of person I am."

Ye Xiaoxian didn't care and said, "then I don't know. I'm not familiar with you. Don't be angry if you don't analyze it correctly. If you're angry, you won't lose anything to me."

"You..." Li Chengru became more angry.

He wanted to get some air so that he wouldn't be among the refugees all the time. As a result, when he came here, he saw Ye Xiaoxian picking wild vegetables. Ye Xiaoxian stood on the grassland, standing alone and graceful. Li Chengru was inevitably stunned. He thought that he must have seen more unkempt refugees these days, so that it's pleasant to see a village girl now.

Now ye Xiaoxian still guesses that if he is in the capital, he must punish her. A little village girl dares to guess his thoughts, which is against the law.

As soon as Li Chengru was angry, he turned and left.

Ye Xiaoxian looked at his back and couldn't help shaking her head. Such spoiled and proud rich children are really hard to serve in any generation.

She continued to pick wild vegetables.

……

When ye Xiaoxian came back, Xiao Tongshu had brought back two buckets of water. Ye Xiaoxian washed the sediment on the wild vegetables with a basin of water, and then asked them to light a fire.

In this environment, you can't pay too much attention. As long as there is no sand in the dishes, you can't get them completely clean.

Wang Mudan and Chen Ju used cow dung and horse dung to make a fire for the first time. It took a long time to light the dry dung. Ye Xiaoxian rubbed the dough when they made a fire.

Some wild vegetables were used by her to make soup. Some dried meat grains were added and sprinkled with salt. It was a pot of good soup. It was sweet, but the water went away.

Another part of wild vegetables was chopped by her, pasted with dough, and then baked into a big cake. Everyone has a share of the big cake, and everyone can share a large piece, which can be regarded as a full meal.

The family outside Liu felt that it was a good thing to go with Ye Xiaoxian. Originally, it was a refugee. Their original intention was not to starve to death, but they didn't expect to hurt their stomach on the way with Ye Xiaoxian.

It's just that I'm sorry I didn't eat green food.

Liu Yuanwai's family praised Ye Xiaoxian while eating. With Ye Xiaoxian, their family only needs to make a fire and provide pots, utensils and ingredients.

Li Chengru saw Ye Xiaoxian picking wild vegetables at the beginning. Did he still want to eat these wild herbs? Unexpectedly, when he was assigned to a bowl of vegetable soup, he took a sip and felt the fragrance Qinpi. He drank all over his body soft, as if his dry Qi had been watered.

This is a rare human delicacy.

Take another bite of the pancake. The pancake is golden on both sides, but it is fluffy. Take a bite full of teeth and stay fragrant. Li Chengru still wants to eat one after eating.

However, he saw that everyone had only one, and he didn't want much.

Looking at Ye Xiaoxian, she has been busy since she came back from picking wild vegetables. She is very serious in every step of washing, cutting and cooking. Her appearance of concentrating on cooking is different from that of teasing him. When teasing him, she looks like a female hooligan.

Li Chengru couldn't help looking at Ye Xiaoxian. Ye Xiaoxian suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Chengru.

It was too late for Li Chengru to divert his attention. He just felt embarrassed.

He thought Ye Xiaoxian would be embarrassed. Who knows, ye Xiaoxian handed him the remaining pancake and teased him: "if you want to eat, just say it. Look at you, your saliva is running down."

Li Chengru: "
