Chapter 197 Stepping on shit luck!
Xu Lizheng was also very happy, and excitedly said to everyone: "It's a good fortune to pick up a hare that was frozen to death as soon as we went up the mountain.

Don't be discouraged, everyone, you can also find something to eat, let's continue! "

"Okay, continue!" The villagers were all very excited, thinking that they could find food, maybe even meat, and they were all very motivated.

And Tao Xi threw the frozen hare into the back basket, and then continued to lead everyone inside.

"Is the tree frozen to death?"

Jian Dalang asked a question in a low voice, and Tao Xi answered patiently: "This tree is more resistant to cold, but it's just frozen.

When winter passes and spring comes, they will all recover, and we will all be fine. "

"Oh."

Jian Dalang looked at Tao Xi with some changes in his eyes. In the past, he only heard that she was very powerful. This is the first time he has come into contact with the powerful Tao Xi.

Jian Shiming naturally felt the change in his eyes when he looked at his wife, and stood in front of Jian Dalang without moving.

"Let me carry the backpack."

Jian Shiming reached for Tao Xi's pannier, and he still hasn't forgotten that Tao Xi is a special moment.

Tao Xi hastily refused, "No need, I'll do it, watch your step."

She and Jian Shiming were at the forefront. Before they knew it, the people in Taomu Village had gradually taken them as their backbone.

"I picked up a pheasant!"

Suddenly a voice of surprise came to everyone's ears. Tao Xi and the others looked up and found that Wang Laogen's grandson Wang Qiu was holding a pheasant in his hand, his little face flushed with excitement.

He almost fell, only to pull a half-dead pheasant out of the pit.

The pheasant's eyeballs were still moving, but his body was frozen stiff.

"It's not dead yet, you're lucky!"

Xu Lizheng patted Wang Qiu's shoulder happily, making everyone laugh and say:
"You have stepped on shit luck."

"I want to step on such a good shit luck."

"Meat, I haven't tasted meat for a long time!"

"..."

Everyone continued to walk in, but their luck was not so good, and not everyone could pick up the meat.

It's more about scraping off the snow on the surface, and then digging some green wild vegetables or bark with difficulty.

After walking for more than an hour, except for Tao Xi and Wang Qiu, the others didn't gain much, but they were more or less full.

However, many people have already felt melancholy in their hearts. If this continues every day, they are afraid that they will still go hungry.

As she walked, she came to the place where Tao Xi dug winter bamboo shoots last time, her eyes lit up slightly.

This winter bamboo shoot is also an edible food, and it will not freeze in winter. She immediately told Jian Shiming about this idea.

Jian Shiming was very happy, "The winter bamboo shoots you made last time didn't have astringent taste at all. In fact, even if there is astringent taste, everyone will eat it now in order to survive."

"Okay then, let's talk to Li Zheng."

Tao Xi hurriedly called Xu Lizheng to the front, and then brushed away the surface snow on the ground in front of him. Fortunately, the snow in the mountains was not as thick as outside.

Because there were trees that blocked most of the snowflakes, she dug with a small iron handle and said to Xu Lizheng:

"Lizheng, winter bamboo shoots are not tasty, but they are still food. Since we have encountered them, don't waste them."

As she spoke, she had already dug out a small section of winter bamboo shoots and peeled off the outer skin to reveal the tender bamboo shoots inside.

Xu Lizheng's eyes sparkled, "Brother Ming's brains are still smart, we didn't eat this before the drought.

Even if we don't want to eat anymore, since we met, we naturally can't waste it, everyone said, right? "

"Correct!"

"Dig, in order to survive, what is unpalatable!"

"No, I just want to live well now."

"..."

Everyone took out their own tools one by one, following Tao Xi's example, planing off the snow on the surface, and then digging up on the spot.

boom!
Suddenly there was a bang not far away, as if someone had fallen, followed by footsteps, and when Tao Xi and the others looked over, they saw a man running away in a hurry.

Xu Lizheng complained angrily, "It must be from Lishu Village, it depends on what we can find to eat."

For the people in Lishu Village, everyone didn't like them very much.

Suddenly someone said anxiously: "Then they won't grab our winter bamboo shoots?"

"A group of thieves, I really want to pick one at a time."

"You run so fast!"

"..."

"This mountain is not ours either, let them do whatever they want."

Tao Xi snorted nonchalantly. She was so focused on Taomu Village and her family that she had no time to take care of the people in Lishu Village.

Instead, Jian Shiming reminded, "There are a lot of bamboos in our back mountains, it would be a good thing if they were more diligent and able to dig bamboo shoots.

In this way, we don’t have to worry about the food in our village every day. "

In fact, everyone in Taomu Village still has some food in stock, isn't this forced by the people of Lishu Village?

When Jian Shiming said this, Xu Lizheng agreed, "Yes, it would be a good thing if they can solve the food problem by themselves.

I'm just afraid that everyone is too lazy to do anything and still want to get it for nothing from us. "

"You are right, but if they dare to come again, I will beat them up once!"

Jian Dalang has a quick temper, and once he came out with Tao Xi, he was subdued by Tao Xi's strength.

At the moment, he is digging winter bamboo shoots behind Tao Xi.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and they didn't think how difficult the freezing weather was. The bamboo forest was not small, and they dug it for an hour or two.

Soon everyone's back baskets were full of winter bamboo shoots, and some people picked up some wild vegetables by the way. Even though their faces were flushed from the cold, their eyes were bright.

Only then did Xu Lizheng take the lead and walk back, "Okay, let's go back quickly, there is still a big family at home."

Xu Lizheng was actually a little worried. He was really worried about the character of the people in Lishu Village.

Everyone thought the same in their hearts, and they walked down the mountain obediently with their backpacks on their backs.

In fact, the distance they walked was not too far, but because the road was difficult to walk in winter, they felt that they had walked a long way.

At the foot of the mountain, Xu Lizheng said: "You don't need to share the things you find, just take them back and eat.

Tomorrow, you will be housekeepers. Those left today will go to the mountains tomorrow. If they belong to the same family and there are no guards at home, they can go to the mountains together. "

Such an arrangement is actually very fair. Although some people are greedy for Tao Xi and Wang Qiu's meat, no one dares to question Xu Lizheng's words.

So everyone went back home. When Tao Xi and Jian Shiming came back with Jian Dalang and Jian's second son, they saw the old bitch Jian and the children sweeping the snow in the yard.

They also cleared some snow from the roof, of course only the edges, but it also lightened the burden on the house.

Seeing them come back, everyone was very happy, "Sister-in-law, come and warm your hands."

Jian Erni was still caring. When she saw Tao Xi and Jian Shiming's hands were red with cold and swollen like radishes, her eyes turned red with distress.
