Chapter 53 Beware

"It's bitter vegetables." The four Gu Jinli were very happy, and Luo Huiniang was even more protective of the bundle of bitter vegetables.

Bitter weed is one of the most common wild vegetables. It grows all year round, but now it is mid-October, and it is a famine year. They can still find wild vegetables, which proves that the situation of the famine is getting better.

They continued to wander in the mountains, and saw a few scattered wild plants, but these wild plants had been killed by the frost, and only rotten leaves and stems were left, which could not be eaten.

Tian Xiaohua was very sorry. Looking at the rotten wild vegetables, he said, "If we had arrived half a month earlier, we would have dug up a lot of wild vegetables, so we wouldn't have to spend money to buy food."

Her family was very poor, her parents didn't have much money, and the whole family felt distressed for spending a copper plate.

Luo Huiniang was naturally optimistic. After hearing Tian Xiaohua's words, she said, "We have a good luck today. If we look again, we should be able to find other food."

Tian Xiaohua nodded heavily, her head kept down, she was looking for wild vegetables, her serious appearance almost stared a hole in the ground.

Gu Jinan looked up and looked around, watching out for victims who went into the mountains to find food, while checking to see if there were any wild fruits on the dead trees.

Gu Jinli's luck was good. He found more than a dozen Rehmannia glutinosa plants with rotten leaves but intact roots. Rehmannia glutinosa is not a medicinal herb for the treatment of wind and cold, but it can be sold for money.

There will always be a day when they will settle down. They need money to settle down. She is saving these medicinal materials now, which means she is saving money, which she will need later.

When Luo Huiniang saw that Gu Jinli was digging some strange things again, she didn't say anything anymore, she was used to it.

The group of four stayed in the mountain for more than half an hour. Seeing that it was getting dark, they stopped looking for food and started to go out of the mountain, trotting away to the resting place at the foot of the mountain.

On the way, I met many victims who came back looking for food. Everyone had something to eat in their hands. It seems that this mountain has a lot of mountains.

When she was about to return to the resting place at the foot of the mountain, Luo Huiniang ran too fast and almost hit a woman. Fortunately, she was good at her feet and stopped in time, so she didn't hit anyone.

The woman suddenly fell to the ground, hugging her left foot and shouting, "Ah, my foot! Why don't you look at people when you walk, you hurt my foot, you have to pay..." After the woman saw Gu Jinli, His throat seemed to be strangled, and his voice disappeared immediately.

She got up from the ground neatly, and complained at Luo Huiniang's dissatisfaction: "Be careful when you walk in the future, it's okay to bump into me, but if you bump into a wicked person, you won't be able to eat and walk around."

After saying that, he turned his head and left.

Gu Jinli stared at the back of the woman with unkind eyes. It was the woman who was out of shape, and she also came here.

Gu Jin'an also recognized the woman, clenched the hatchet in his hand, and said, "It's her, the disfigured woman who carried her child with the man to ask for medicine when the temple was destroyed."

Luo Huiniang was completely stunned by the woman's series of movements. When she heard Gu Jin'an's words, she reacted and hurriedly looked at the woman who had walked away. She had good eyesight. After a while, she pointed to the front and shouted, "And that child!"

Xu was because her voice was too loud, and the child immediately looked towards her with gloomy eyes, staring at Luo Huiniang fiercely.

Luo Huiniang was frightened, and after a brief fright, she was angry.When the temple was destroyed a few days ago, she still sympathized with this woman, and felt that their family was pitiful. Now it seems that this family is a bad embryo, and there is no good person.

Gu Jinli frowned. The child was only five or six years old. He was very quiet when the temple was destroyed, and he looked sickly. Now he can look at people with such a cruel look, obviously he is not a good person.

The woman knew that they were looking at her, and without looking back, took the child away.

A few of Gu Jinli didn't catch up, only if they were stupid.When this woman and child appeared here, her family's man and Wu Da's accomplices must also be there. If they catch up, there will be an accident.

"Let's go." Gu Jinli took the herbs he found and walked to their resting place first.

Not long after the four of them returned, Luo Fu, Gu Dashan, and Gu Dafu also came back after looking for food.

Everyone is lucky today. Father Luo and his team found more than 30 wild sweet potatoes.

The three Qin family found a nest of hibernating snakes, a total of eight snakes, ranging from large to small.Afraid of scaring the women and children of several families, they have already removed the head and skin of the snake, leaving only the flesh of the snake with blood streaks in white.

Several families were very happy when they saw these things.

Chu took the half bag of sweet potatoes handed by Father Luo, and smiled happily: "There are quite a few sweet potatoes."

Then he asked the third grandmother: "San Auntie, let's have roasted sweet potatoes tonight."

The third grandmother nodded: "Okay, let's eat roasted sweet potatoes. Let's roast all these sweet potatoes and have a good meal."

Chen Shi had already taken the snake meat from Qin Sanlang's hands. Hearing what the third grandmother said, he hurriedly stuffed the snake meat into Gu Dewang, ran to Chu Shi's side, grabbed the sack containing sweet potatoes, and said with a smile: "Sister Luo, go make a fire, and I'll shake off the sand on the sweet potatoes."

Before waiting for Chu to speak, he had already dragged the sack and called for his two sons to leave.As soon as he turned his back, he reached out and took four sweet potatoes from the sack and stuffed them into his two sons.

The third grandmother's face was very ugly. This Chen family really wants to be greedy for everything, but seeing Gu Dewang and Gu Defa, who were starving and thin, the third grandma didn't scold Chen after all.

She pulled the Chu family, took the wild vegetables that Luo Huiniang handed over, and said, "Let's go, let's make a wild vegetable soup."

That night, there were more than [-] people in several families, and each was given a roasted sweet potato and a small bowl of wild vegetable snake broth. It was the most hearty meal they had eaten at the Qifu camp since they escaped from the famine. pause.

After eating, Gu Jinli told everyone about the disfigured woman he met on the road: "That woman is not simple. She is in the same group as Da Wu, and Da Wu's accomplices must be at the foot of this mountain. We have to be careful."

Several families were shocked when they heard her words, and the women were even more shocked.

Chen shi hurriedly looked around with his eyes. After not seeing the woman, he patted his heart and said to Gu Jinli, "Xiaoyu, you shouldn't offend them. It's alright now, they will definitely find a chance to take revenge on us."

Gu Jinli hehe, shook the dagger in his hand, and said, "Aunt Gui, they have seen my ruthlessness and dare not trouble me, but you can't tell, they saw that you didn't have a knife in your hand, and you were thin and thin. I'll hit you."

So you better be nice to me, or I won't save you when you are robbed.

Seeing the knife in Gu Jinli's hand, Mrs. Chen shrank back in fright and stopped talking when she thought of Gu Jinli breaking Wu Da's tendons and hamstrings.

Gu Dagui was so angry with Chen that she lost her temper. This mother-in-law is always like this, and she has to suffer to be honest.

"Don't worry, that group of people dare not touch us easily." Qin Laodao said, "However, that group of people are not good people, we should be careful."

Qin Lao looked at Qin Sanlang and said to him: "Sanlang, go around and see where they are staying."

Qin Saburo nodded and plunged into the night.
