Chapter 31

Several people discussed for a long time, and finally decided to bring their own family members up. It is better for the whole family to flee the famine than to wander alone.

After listening for a while, Jin Yan left. She went to find the fleeing sheep, killed two sheep and brought them back together.

Seeing her coming back so early, Jiang Yan looked puzzled, "You came back so soon? Didn't you say to go out and see the situation?"

She put the sheep aside, took a sip of water and said solemnly, "I just met someone in the mountains. I was afraid they would find out, so I came back first."

"What?" Jiang Yan looked at her incredulously, "How did you meet someone?"

Jin Yan simply recounted the situation just now, "Anyway, what I heard from them is that the outside is already in chaos, and it seems that it is really drought."

Even the water source has been seized by the government, can this be serious?

Jiang Yan's face was heavy, and he suddenly grabbed her arm and said, "You haven't been discovered by them, have you?"

Jin Yan shook his head, "No, I don't dare to come forward without knowing their details."

Otherwise, she can let others take away her prey?
"It's fine if you don't have it. The chaos outside is like that. Since this group of people dare to come here, it means that they have nowhere to go. If they accidentally bump into them, I'm afraid they will have some bad thoughts about you and me."

These days, ordinary people dare not enter the mountains easily, especially in the deep mountains and old forests where there are many dangers.

There is a basis for this, because there are no people in the deep mountains all the year round, the trees are taller than the sky, the grass is deeper than the water, there are so many wild beasts, and poisonous substances all over the mountains and plains.

That is to say, Jin Yan, who is not afraid of death, has always been clever, and those who escape her hands are either dead or disabled, otherwise they will suffer.

Apart from these, those people were all men, and Jiang Yan didn't even have to think about what he would do when he suddenly discovered that there was an unarmed woman in this mountain.

Jin Yan felt that he was a bit of a soldier, but he ran to the deep mountains to survive, how could he be so scary.

"Could it be that you are overthinking it? I think they are just desperate to find food."

"Ah, you are still inexperienced in the world, and you don't know the sinister human heart. These people will not retain their humanity if they are so hungry." Jiang Yan was afraid that she would not believe him, so he pulled her very firmly, "Listen to me, these few days Surround them day by day, don't let them find you, it's always right to be on guard."

It's not uncommon to kill for food these years, but it's a famine year, people can't survive, and the government can't control it.

Jin Yan thought for a while and listened to him, "But I heard they said they would bring people in, maybe there will be more people in the mountain stream in two days, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide."

If there are too many people, it is inevitable that people will discover the existence of the cave, and there may be a lot of trouble at that time.

Jiang Yan didn't dare to be sloppy anymore, he hesitated at home for a while and ran outside the cave, moving this east and west Lala that.

Jin Yan couldn't even understand, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Yan was holding on to his crutches, fiddling with all his heart, "Our cave is too obvious, so it's easy for people to spot it. I'll do some tricks so we can be safer."

Those people seemed to be at the end of their way, otherwise they wouldn't have come to this deep mountain.

People in this world are especially wary of foreigners, if they know of their existence, they are very likely to do something outrageous.

They'd better stay out of the way unless necessary.

Jin Yan watched him busy in silence, and at this moment he made people feel very at ease. Jin Yan really didn't feel any danger, even if there was danger, he could always deal with it, but he was always afraid.

And every time he explained to himself, he didn't realize that what he said was that she was afraid that she would be in danger.

This made her feel a little touched.

She has lived for more than ten years in her life, and she is indeed more experienced than Jiang Yan, who was born and raised here, but she has never experienced wars, nor has she seen the dangers of people's hearts.

She is always three-point vigilant and seven-point innocent towards people.

Her education since she was a child told her to be kind, to help each other, and not to be afraid even if something happened, because the wicked will reap their rewards.

In their hearts, law and morality are heaven.

But the people here, even if they were born in the country, what can they do? They still have no reassuring support, no three views and morals to consolidate people's hearts.

They are really weak, unable to pray to God or worship Buddha, they can only rely on means of survival to keep themselves from being targeted by outsiders.

Jin Yan took a deep breath, "Let me help you."

The two moved quickly, especially Jin Yan with a good brain, Jiang Yan understood as soon as she said it.

Soon the entrance of the cave was hidden. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to find it.

After finishing all this, she went out to check the situation again. Perhaps because of Jiang Yan's influence, she also felt that these five people were still hidden dangers, so it's better to be vigilant.

Fortunately, these people were all thinking outside, and returned the same way after eating and drinking, and Jin Yan also discovered the place where they went out.

That place was hidden enough, it was a gap between two mountains, the width was only two people wide, if they hadn't been cutting there with knives, they wouldn't have been able to cut a path.

No wonder it's been so long, she can't find a place to go out here.

She went out to have a look, and found that there was still a forest outside the mountain stream, but the forest outside was obviously much more desolate.

The soil on the ground is dry and hard, not to mention people in this forest, not even a bird can be seen.

Jin Yan didn't continue walking, and went back to dig a lot of vegetables along the way, and even caught a few fish back.

Now she knows that the outside world is in chaos, and many people will come in the near future, the resources will definitely be greatly reduced, and it will be even more inconvenient to avoid these people.

So while these people were gone, she had to stock up on some food.

When Jin Yan returned, Jiang Yan was cooking sheepskin, and the lamb was neatly divided by him, "This sheepskin is good, you can keep it to make a sheepskin coat."

Jiang Yan also nodded in satisfaction, and took the things in her hands, "Go and rest for a while, let me bring these things."

Jin Yan went to wash his hands first, and then washed the dishes he brought back.

The food in the mountains is getting less and less, and she also tries not to touch the stock at home. It is best if she can find food outside. If she can't find it, she will eat meat.

I have been hunting recently. Although there are a lot of wild game at home, none of these animals are fat, and there is not much meat. Almost all of them are dried meat and bacon, and the ones that cannot be saved are used for frying or stewing soup.

She made some salted fish, each of which was as big as two or three catties, and they both could only eat half of one.

Because the fish in the river are so delicious, all the fish she catches are of good quality, big size, and few thorns. As long as they are cleaned and steamed, they can be eaten.

Take one every time you want to eat, and it can also satisfy your appetite.

Jiang Yan said to her while cleaning the sheepskin, "I don't think we can stay in this mountain stream anymore. Now that someone comes in, we can't keep hiding, but if someone finds out, there will be no dispute."

"But where can we go when we go out? Haven't you heard that the outside is in chaos?"

She went in and took half a salted fish out, washed it with clean water, shredded the ginger, and steamed it in a pot together.

The wild vegetables are fried in oil, and the staple food is black potatoes steamed with shredded ginger and salted fish, one for each person.
