The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 34 The Banana Tree Is the Savior
If she remembers correctly, she should have seen cutting banana trees to get water for drinking in a certain episode of the Wilderness Survival Program.

It seems that the core of the plantain tree can be eaten, so isn't it the dozens of plantain trees by the mud pond?Ok?Try it first, take a machete and two water bags, and cut off a large piece of skin from the root of the banana tree.

For more than ten seconds, water dripped out along the tree's wound, which was a heartfelt gesture to the show crew.

For a quarter of an hour, I filled up a water bag and took half a sip. Hey, it’s not bad, it’s sweet.

Sister Yuan and the others were called, and the empty water bladders were brought over. They cut a few more cuts in the plantain tree, and finally cut down the whole tree after no water came out. Layer by layer, the outer skin was peeled off, revealing the white leaves. The core of the tree is full of water, sweet and thirst-quenching.

The women couldn't help laughing, who would have thought that the food used to feed pigs would be so delicious.

"Big head girl, how do you know this is edible?" Aunt Yuan asked after biting a plantain core.

"Uncle, pigs can be eaten, so they are definitely not poisonous. The man ate them, at least they are not bad. I just wanted to chop them up and try them. When I chopped them up, I found that there was still water in them. It would be cheaper for us. Is it?" Cuihua looked at her with an expression that you couldn't even imagine.

"Speaking of which, it's really ah, medicine can't kill pigs, don't many people eat those pigweeds?" Several old women began to discuss, what wild vegetables they saw along the way might be edible, wild vegetable exchange meeting open.

The attendants of the Fu family also picked up the water and cut down the banana trees. Dozens of banana trees were removed in a short while, and a part of the water bag was filled. The core of the banana tree was very popular. Then chew the plantain core, a must.

Fu Yi's team didn't come back until the last two wild banana trees were cut down. They actually persisted for ten days. It was too difficult!

The two groups of people gathered information, and the plague in Bazhou City has been fully covered.There are two options for bypassing Bazhou Prefecture, one is to go north to Yuanguang Prefecture, cross the mountains to enter Zhonghan Prefecture, and the other is to bypass Dongqingchuan to Anning County.Qingchuan has mountains that are steeper than Dashanling, and the distance is twice that of Yuanyuan Guangfu. After everyone discussed it, they moved obliquely from the northwest and went straight north.

The temperature in Fuyue has risen to over 35 degrees, and Cuihua has measured it with an outdoor thermometer every day.The big rocks in the space, the gossip poles are as dry as dirt.

From this time on, the team changed to a night walk, and the cub's bunt became shorter and shorter again and again. There was no water to wash it, and it was soaked and dry with sweat. She also shaved off her hair, and her head was bald. They all had lice, okay?When the other women saw it, they also shaved their children's heads. Lice are contagious, so if we stay together every day, the bald heads are easy to clean up.The scalp is tanned.

Two days after the last sip of plantain water was consumed, the team had to stop again.

If they couldn't find any more water, they would die of thirst. It seemed that there was no other way but to cheat.

Cuihua took her iron gun and carried an empty water bag in a basket, and searched along the lower reaches of the mountain stream. In a dry puddle, she dug a hole that was bigger than a dustpan and was more than one meter deep. .

Finally, I saw a little moist soil, and dug another half a meter, and began to store water, introducing the river water in the space into the puddle.After the puddle was full of water, the water level in the puddle no longer dropped, and cleared up, I filled my water bag with water before returning to the camp.

Knowing that she had dug the water source, everyone cheered. Fu Yi and the others looked at Cuihua more kindly than they looked at Jin Yuanbao. This is really a capable person.

Filled up the water bladders of all the people in the team, and washed their faces with water, boiled the last steamed buns, as if injected with a big wave of chicken blood, sweeping away the haze.

Seven days later, Yuanguang Mansion.

The group who drank the sauerkraut porridge licked their bowls clean, and haven't eaten a single grain of rice for a long time.

"You said, we want to tell other villagers that we are all tired of eating beef and mutton, so we want to drink sauerkraut porridge, will people not believe it?"

"No, they will think that your brain is broken and you are crazy, and then they will exchange porridge with you for meat, hahahaha."

"Oh, we just don't have that kind of life, it's not bad to be able to drink sauerkraut porridge for a lifetime."

There are no green vegetables to eat, and I am not picky about sauerkraut and dried vegetables.Yuanguang Mansion's water resources are not rich, but the wells in the city are deep water wells, so water can still be used in the inn, but the price of water is comparable to the price of food.

There are 11 households in the downstream village, and each household paid 1 person and 1 tael of silver to Father Hu and Qian Butcher. Zhao Qingshan is still the accountant, and is mainly responsible for reporting the expenses along the way to everyone at any time.Now it's meaningless to eat from each family. Let's eat from the big pot, and there are not many outsiders. Wait until the public money is spent before handing over.

Because the next step is to climb the mountains, which requires higher physical strength, everyone is going to spend a few days in Yuanguang Mansion to make up for it.The inn they rented had a separate courtyard with a separate kitchen, which made it easier for the group to start fires by themselves, and Cuihua even ran at full capacity to subsidize her family.

Braised steamed duck, pickled fish, tofu balls, braised pork with preserved vegetables, and stewed whole lamb. Ms. Fu Jiaqiao stayed here for a few days, and the meal was never finished. Grandma Fu was very polite and sent a lot of ingredients to their yard , Cuihua also gave several dishes in return.

For this purchase, I bought half a carload of radish strips, and I bought a lot of dried wild vegetables, especially dried bracken. After eating enough of the bitterness of not having vegetables, many babies couldn’t pull out their poops. Some fruit for the children to eat, do not know how to do it.

Before starting, 3 old ladies fell ill in the team, the aunt of Zhao Xiucai's family, and two wives from the downstream village, hey!These days, the oil and water have become heavy, their stomachs are uncomfortable, their teeth are not good, and they eat less jerky on the road. I don’t see that the monkey cubs are fine. I don’t see them eating less jerky. The elderly are receptive.

"Hey, we old ladies, but boars can't eat fine bran, and they won't be supplemented if they get too oily, haha."

"My family didn't eat so well during the Chinese New Year. His sister-in-law of the Hu family, you girl insisted on it. You are so good at the stove!"

"She is delicious. She is taller than the stove, so she likes to take a shovel for a few times. People who are delicious usually do it."

"That's not to say, we are delicious too! We didn't expect so many ways to do it, but sister-in-law, you taught it well!" The old woman flattered, her skills are not weak.

Mrs. Zhang felt that her face was very radiant. Her daughter-in-law humiliated her, and her daughter-in-law could grow back for her at any time.

The diarrhea medicine I bought last time came in handy, and I have to wait for these old ladies to recuperate for a few days.

Among the daughters-in-law of Lao Hu's family, Zhao Sanniang, the elder sister-in-law, received a lot of preferential treatment from her mother-in-law's family and sister-in-law's family because none of her natal family followed her.

Niu Damei was relatively silent all the way, thinking about her mother's parents in her heart, and sometimes she was in a trance when she took care of her son Xiaoshan. She was beaten several times by Mrs. Zhang before she cheered up.

Jiang Laidi was also rushing to do things, her elder sister borrowed money from her, feeling guilty, plus she was beaten in the face by a gangster in Dongqing Mansion, she lost all face, and bowed her head to please men.

The old Yuan's family has Cuihua and doesn't worry about everything, and has sister Yuan to help with food and luggage, and the Ma family doesn't even moan.

Bad news came from the stationery in the space this time: Chengdu Mansion was surrounded by refugees. Although there was no violent attack, all outside the four gates were occupied by refugees, and the city was closed again.

The prefectures and counties below are also full of porridge. The refugees formed countless gangs, smashed the prefectural and county government offices, and emptied the food reserves. Those who chased King Lu had already chased King Ning, merged with King Shu, and were attacking King Ning. Nan'an Prefecture.

The territory of King Lu has been fully occupied by King Shu, and all the current officials of the state capitals have been replaced by their own people. It can be seen that the deployment of King Shu did not happen overnight. The huge think tanks of the former King of Shu now have a good place to go.

Chengdu Mansion is guarded by General Gao. However, compared with the regular army, the combat effectiveness of these refugees is still much weaker, but I am afraid that this is an organized and premeditated gang.

Although it's not good to say that, Cuihua still has to rejoice: thanks to our fast running!Chengdu Mansion is a bullseye.
