Escape from the desert

Chapter 4 Finding Wild Vegetables

The periphery of the mountain looks a bit desolate, and all the edible wild vegetables on the ground have been dug up by the villagers, and the slope is full of potholes.

"Mother, I'm here to dig wild vegetables, you rest against the big tree, it's getting late, we won't go up the mountain, it's here, the mountain is dangerous."

Jiang Yan looked at the quiet forest not far away. When the sky darkened, she looked even more eerie and terrifying. Seeing that both of them were looking for wild vegetables, she also walked around.

【Old iron!Discover the Natural Wild Ash! 】

[Natural wild ash, six cents a pound! 】

Looking at the picture in her mind, Jiang Yan looked at a piece of gray scorpion, which is a common gray dish. You can't eat too much of this dish. If you eat too much, your skin will turn red and your body will tingle, so people in the village will not eat this dish. .

She didn't expect that this gray dish also has medicinal value, and it can be developed now.

Jiang Yan grinned and squatted on the field ridge picking ash vegetables, and a sharp voice suddenly exploded in her ear.

"That shameless dog is stealing my food!!"

The gradually darkening sky affected the sight, and when someone walked in, he took a look: "Yo! It turned out to be Aunt Jiang of the Lin family!"

Liu Shi pinched her waist and shouted extraordinarily loudly. She and Jiang Yan had disliked each other since they were young, and they often played and fought each other, but she had never been able to fight each other, and today she finally found an excuse.

"Shameless old bastard, doing things like stealing chickens all day long,"

With her voice, Lin Nan, who was not far away, also looked over.

Several pieces of land at the foot of the mountain belong to the Liu family, and Jiang Yan is now standing on the ridge of her family.

"Aunt Jiang, I'm afraid your skin is thicker than the adobe wall of my house. If you steal food today, will you still steal people tomorrow?"

"It also happens that you are a widow, which is convenient..."

Jiang Yan's head is full of black lines.

Even if she was yelled at by a woman who looked a few years older than her, she was slandered at every bite.

She threw the gray cabbage in her hand on the ground, and said in a cold voice, "Yo! Sister Liu doesn't even know the gray cabbage? Or is it that all of your family's crops are gray cabbage?"

Liu Shi could see clearly now that Jiang Yan was holding gray vegetables.

The taste of gray cabbage is not good. If you eat too much, your whole body will tingle. The villagers always thought it was a poisonous dish, let alone people eat it, even poultry would not be eaten. , no one would think of taking this dish to satisfy their hunger.

Liu Shi knew that he was wrong, but he was very stubborn, and scolded with his waist: "I can't eat this gray dish, I watched you walk back and forth in my field from afar, who knows if you want to secretly dig My food."

Jiang Yan sighed, she didn't know where the old sister-in-law got her confidence, and she didn't like the lonely old lettuce in her field.

"Sister Liu misunderstood. It's not that there is no extra food at home, so I just dig some ash vegetables to satisfy my hunger. As long as I don't eat more, it's fine. Anyway, I won't die."

"If Mrs. Liu has extra food at home, why don't you lend it to our family, and I'll pay it back to you after the autumn harvest, which will save me a day looking for wild vegetables on your ridge..."

Her face was tired and panting, the wound on her head was also obvious, and her messy body looked a little pitiful.

Liu's eyes were about to pop out of shock. She had always been against her, and Aunt Jiang, who wanted to strangle her to death, would actually put down her posture and ask her to borrow food!
"Bah! Borrow food! Don't say I don't have any extra, even if I have it, I can't lend it to you!"

Turning around and leaving, she even thought that Sister Jiang had broken her brain today and wanted to borrow food from her, so go find a ghost!
Seeing that the people were gone, Jiang Yan picked up all the vegetables on the ground, squatted on the ridge, and continued to pull the gray vegetables.

After a while, she stopped, and the beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, and she could even feel the sticky sweat on her chest and back.

Yuan Shen has always been lazy, and her body is very weak. She felt tired and panicked after only a few movements.

Jiang Yan took a look at the ash vegetables dug up, more than three kilograms, and more than half a kilogram of plantain, and looked at Lin Nan and Liu Xiaomeng in the distance, making sure that no one saw it before selling it.

Three catties of ash cabbage yielded 18 cents, and half a catty of plantains gained 3 cents, a total of 21 cents, and the points became 2.3 points.

"Second child! Xiaomeng, it's getting late, go home."

She shouted, stood up, suddenly felt dizzy, and it took a long time to recover.

When I touched it, I remembered that my head had been smashed, and the wound had not been treated. It seemed that there was another reason for the wound besides low blood sugar.

In ancient times, minor injuries and illnesses were very likely to be fatal. If you accidentally get tetanus due to inflammation and infection, it would be life-threatening.

She could only buy anti-inflammatory medicine for 16 wen in the plane mall. She originally wanted to buy some disinfectant, but it also cost 16 wen, and she had no money.

Bending down and digging for vegetables for a long time, Jiang Yan didn't dare to spend it indiscriminately.

She hammered her sore old arms and legs, and Lin Nan brought Liu Xiaomeng over, one carrying a bundle of firewood and the other carrying a half-frame of wild vegetables.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"No, go home."

Lin Nan nodded and followed behind Jiang Yan. As soon as the three of them walked to the door of the house, they heard lively voices coming from the house.

"Big brother, the second brother is getting married today. Do we have to put some tables in our house to invite the villagers to dinner?"

"Mother doesn't have money, so even if she has, she won't give the second brother a banquet."

"That's right, mother doesn't like second sister-in-law."

"Anyway, the second brother likes it. After the second brother makes money, it's okay to have a banquet."

"........."

Jiang Yan walked into the yard and saw that everyone was surrounded by the humble table that could not bear to look directly.

The original has five sons, the eldest son Lin Dong is 19 years old this year, and when he just turned 16, he married a daughter-in-law, Wang Jinhua, who is the same age as her, and they gave birth to a son at the end of the year - Xiaodouzi It is the backbone of this home.

The second son, Lin Nan, is 16 years old this year. He is more assertive among the sons. He doesn't like the daughter-in-law Yuanshen ordered for him, so he tries to tell Yuanshen that his wish has come true now. It is precisely because of this that she He is more filial to Jiang Yan now.

The third son, Lin Xi, is 15 years old this year. He is the strongest of the several sons, and his physique looks stronger than the others.

The fourth son, Lin Bei, is 12 years old this year. He is the smartest. He is two extremes with the third child.

The youngest son, Lin Feng, is only eight years old, and he is thin and only a few pounds of meat. What's even more pitiful is that he had a high fever when he was a child, and his brain burned out. It is precisely because of this that the original body hates him, and he beats or scolds him. The little guy often hides in fear when he sees the original body.

As soon as Jiang Yan entered the door, her voice stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at her subconsciously, especially the fifth, hiding behind the fourth.

Lin Dong: "Mother, you are back."

Lin Xi: "Mother, I've already picked up the water."

Lin Bei: "Mother, I also chopped firewood and came back."

Lin Feng: "Mother..."

Jiang Yan pursed her lips, the mother of this voice... She really knows how to shut her mouth!
