C5 No field

Lu Jinfeng did not try to act, and directly chased after him, only taking two steps, his body swaying a little.

With sharp eyes, Chen Mu Mu walked over to help him up, "What's wrong?"

"My chest is a bit stuffy, my footsteps are weak, I just need to rest for a bit." Lu Jinfeng glanced at the hand she was grabbing and gently struggled.

It was as if she was actually molesting him.

Chen Mu Mu rolled his eyes and emphasized the strength beside his hand, "Enough, a grown man is so devoted to his mother. How can I take advantage of you? If you have the ability to do so, leave by yourself."

Even if she wanted tofu, with his appearance, would she even be able to bite him?

Her question made Lu Jinfeng's throat clench, and he shut his mouth.

Seeing that the other party was sensible, Chen Mu didn't bother about it anymore. He picked up the small basket on his back and half-dragged the other party out, while insulting him at the same time.

"I've been busy all day and I've only picked some wild vegetables, but it's still not enough for two meals. How stupid."

"The land is barren, and the villagers often go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. To be able to gather this much is already a fortunate thing." Perhaps it was because she had saved him without caring about her own safety, Lu Jinfeng answered with a rare chance.

"That's because you're stupid!" Chen Mu Mu didn't hold back his words.

Lu Jinfeng scoffed at her, "Are you that powerful?

"More than you, anyway." As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the place where she had placed her small basket. Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu pouted and looked at him, "What's wrong? Worship me?"

Lu Jinfeng had a strange expression on his face, he kept quiet for a bit, then looked up at her: "You want to eat bamboo?"

"You're the one who's eating bamboo, your whole family is eating bamboo! "This is a bamboo shoot, very tender. It can be used as a dish and has no experience." Chen Mu Mu couldn't help but retort.

No wonder why there were so many bamboo shoots on the mountain. She thought that the forest was rich in resources, but it turned out that the villagers did not know that bamboo shoots could be eaten!

"It can be eaten?" Lu Jinfeng picked up a bamboo shoot and looked at it, then shook his head: "Fine, since I'm already at the stage of eating bark anyway, it's fine to eat bamboo shoots."

You're just eating bamboo, not a national treasure! Chen Mu couldn't be bothered to even pay attention to him.

However, Lu Jinfeng didn't stop there. He picked up the mushroom from the basket and threw it outside.

"These mushrooms are poisonous and cannot be eaten carelessly."

"Stop, if you throw it again, I'll chop it off!" Chen Mu Mu Mu held his hand that had dropped something, and his face was red and green. "To think that you were born and bred here, you couldn't even tell what kind of mushrooms you were, and lost all the face of the villagers."

This idiot was about to anger her to death.

Lu Jinfeng's face ashened, and retorted: "No one from the village eats these mushrooms."

"That's them, not me." Chen Mu Mu Mu picked up the discarded mushrooms and rolled his eyes at him, "Tonight, I'll eat it if you don't. If you don't, you'll poison me to death!"

Lu Jinfeng said helplessly: "It's up to you."

Her heart was so tired, she couldn't communicate with this woman at all. She liked eating bamboo and poisonous mushrooms, so she could just eat them. Once she ate the consequences, she would know the price for disobedience.

It was getting dark and the road down the mountain was not easy to walk. The two of them had to put in a lot of effort and finally got home before nightfall.

Madam Lee had already prepared food and was looking forward to it. When she saw the two, she half-reprimanded them and half-welcomed them as she sized them up.

"Why did you come back so late? Did you run into some wild beast on the mountain? Why are your clothes both wet?"

This was the first time Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu Mu had seen the Madam Lee, an unsophisticated looking woman. Her long hair was wrapped in a cloth, and her facial features were very ordinary.

Chen Mu had a good impression of the Madam Lee, but just when she was about to reply, Lu Jinfeng pinched her and spoke first: "I didn't encounter any wild beasts, I just wanted to catch a mountain chicken. When I wanted to catch one, I was tripped by the grass and fell into the water, but unfortunately the mountain chicken ran away as well."

"We don't have that carnivorous life. If we run, we run. Our body is more important. Next time, we can't do such a dangerous thing." Madam Lee hurriedly pushed the two into the house, "Quickly go and change your wet clothes, you don't have to get sick."

Change clothes with Lu Jinfeng?

Chen Mu Mu's eyebrows twitched and pulled at Madam Lee's arm. "Mother, I don't have any clothes."

Mother? Lu Jinfeng's brows twitched, and looked into her eyes.

Chen Mu's face did not turn red nor did his heart skip a beat, he continued to pull Madam Lee's arm and miserably said: "Mother, I only have this set of clothes on me."

"Look at my brain. You only have this set of clothes, and haven't even made a new one. Come with me to my room and wear my old clothes."

"Alright, sorry for troubling you mother." Chen Mu Mu laughed and followed Madam Lee into another room.

She was about to die from the cold, so she decided to put her face aside first.

Madam Lee had already prepared dinner, Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng would be able to eat after changing their clothes.

It was still a bowl of rice with only three to four grains. The ratio of rice to water was calculated as one to ten million yuan.

The corner of Chen Mu Mu's mouth twitched as he took out a mushroom and bamboo shoot from his basket, washed them and put them into the pot.

Madam Lee's gaze followed her strangely as she asked with some doubt, "Mu Mu, there's poison in the mushrooms, and bamboo can't be eaten. Are you being too hungry?"

Chen Mu rubbed his forehead, "Mother, these are bamboo shoots, not bamboo shoots. They are edible. As for mushrooms, not all of them are poisonous, and only those with bright colors are not edible. "

Madam Lee opened her mouth, wanting to say something but Lu Jinfeng shot her a glance. He grabbed her hand and said: "Let her be, since that's the only thing we can eat."

It was better to die from exhaustion than from starvation. Moreover, from the looks of it, she didn't seem to be courting death. Perhaps she knew some medical skills or knew some things that he didn't?

Madam Lee agreed with her son's point of view. Although her expression was sorrowful, she didn't say anything more. Seeing Chen Mu Mu clumsily lighting the fire, he came over to help.

Very soon, a pot of fragrant mushroom bamboo shoot stew steeped with steam. Chen Mu took a deep breath and felt as if a spring breeze had blown through his stomach. He felt so comfortable that he could feel his stomach leaping with joy.

Then, he got even hungrier.

He picked up a pair of chopsticks and was about to pick up a piece of mushroom to have a taste when he suddenly heard footsteps in the courtyard. Following that, someone shouted, "Mother Xiao Feng, is mother Xiao Feng at home?"

From the sound of it, it should be a forty to fifty year old woman.

"Yes, Sister Wang. Why are you here?" Madam Lee heard the shout and rushed out.

Chen Mu Mu Mu also stuck his head out and saw a woman standing in the yard. She held a small bag of things in one hand and a vegetable basket in the other.

Chinese cabbage? Tender and tender? Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at Lu Jinfeng strangely.

Who said that the village's land was poor and could not be used to grow crops? Was it because their family didn't have any seeds?

He was lazy, blamed the land, and lived for a long time.

Lu Jinfeng met her gaze, a light flashed in his eyes, and he pretended not to see it as he directly picked up a mushroom and put it into his mouth.

"Eh, the taste is not bad?"

Nonsense, of course. After eating the rice porridge that was almost white in color, not to mention the fresh mushrooms and bamboo shoots, even the bark of the porridge had to be extremely tasty.

Chen Mu Mu Mu also grabbed the mushrooms and put them into his mouth as he listened to the conversation outside.

"Sister Wang, how can this be? Our family has been bothering you for quite some time already. How can we take your things again? You should keep it for yourself." The Madam Lee refused.

"I still have at home how much food I can eat alone. You don't have any rice left in your family, so if you don't want to eat it, you have to eat it with your two children as well. " The Aunt Wang sighed and forcefully shoved the things into Madam Lee's hands, "There are still a few pieces of ginger. That lass Mu Mu has a fever and she's cold.

Speaking till this point, Madam Lee could not refuse, and only said: "Then on behalf of my two children, I will thank Sister-in-law."

While they were talking, a fragrance wafted into their nose. The two of them were startled, Aunt Wang sniffed and asked curiously: "What smell is it that's so fragrant?"

"The two children went to the mountain during the day to gather some bamboo shoots and mushrooms. They are currently boiling the soup." Madam Lee glanced at the kitchen, "It seems like what Mu Er said is correct, this thing can also be eaten as food. Sister-in-law should come in and have a bowl as well, right? "

"No, there's still water on the stove. I need to hurry back. The two children are not well, you've worked hard."

Seeing the Aunt Wang off, the Madam Lee entered the kitchen and was captivated by the smell. Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng scooped out three bowls of mushroom soup and laughed, "Mother has a try, but I've never eaten mushrooms and bamboo shoots before. This taste is not bad."

Madam Lee picked up her bowl and drank a mouthful of soup, praising endlessly, "Little girl Mu, how did you know that the bamboo shoots and mushrooms could be eaten? I remember the people in Dongping Village didn't eat this either. "

Of course, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu wouldn't tell her that she had transmigrated. The more feudal the city was, the more superstitious it was for people. If it wasn't done well, they would just burn her like a monster. Therefore, he smiled and said, "The conditions at home are not good. Father never returns home. When I was hungry, I went to the mountain to find food. I accidentally found it."

Lu Jinfeng looked at her, deep in thought: "Your luck seems to be pretty good."

It's none of your business.

Chen Mu Mu Mu ignored him, lowering his head to drink the soup. It had to be said that after drinking the soup made from the mushrooms and bamboo shoots, his empty stomach immediately warmed up.

The feeling of being full was so wonderful that it made her so happy that her face was full of smiles.

Lady Chen, however, believed her words and said, "There are a lot of wild bamboo in the village, and there are very few people who harvest mushrooms. Tomorrow, we will go up the mountain to gather some more, and by the end of the month, there will be no need to worry about the rations."

Chen Mu's eyebrows twitched. This suggestion wasn't bad, but...

He glanced at the cabbage sent over by the Aunt Wang on the stove by the side and asked: "Mother, we will finish all the wild vegetables sooner or later, didn't you think of growing some yourself?"

"You think we don't want to plant it? "Where did you get this field from? Do you think we're you? Since you have hands and feet, why are you so lazy?" Hearing that, Lu Jinfeng was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and immediately exploded.

Chen Mu Mu Mu stopped his chopsticks and asked doubtfully, "Not even half an acre of land?"

There was a saying that people relied on the mountains to eat the water. People in this village had no fields, so their only fate was to starve to death.

She finally understood why Lu Jinfeng wanted to kick her out. There was no land, the two of them were sick as chickens, they couldn't even support themselves, and with her, they would only speed up the process of starving to death.

However, she remembered that Lu Jinfeng was the descendant of the Lu Family. The Lu Family could be considered to be a large family in the village, and even if one did not mention the rich and powerful External Minister, a well-off family was more than enough. As a member of the Lu Family, did the Lu Family not leave any land for their daughter-in-law?
