There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

Chapter 39 I Smell Meat
The mountain forest that I just walked through is now shrouded in thick fog. Only the trees that are closer to the cave can still see green. As for the trees that can barely be seen below, all the trees that can barely be seen have no crowns, and only blackened trunks remain.

As for the forests covered by dense fog, one doesn't have to think about what it will be like.

The mountain wind was blowing, and the thick smoke was blown in another direction. Otherwise, if all of them flowed to the cave, they would be directly suffocated to death in the cave.

But even if they weren't smoked to death, everyone was almost dead.

The village was burned and the mountains and forests were destroyed. How could they go back?

The roots of Yongping Village were completely cut off.

Let alone those women and old people, even the men couldn't help crying.

The village chief was helped out of the cave. Seeing the scene at the bottom of the mountain, he almost couldn't lift his breath and passed out.

Fortunately, he had already imagined such a possibility when he was in the cave, so he can still hold his breath at the moment.

"Okay, everyone wipe away your tears, hurry up and get some firewood back! The village is destroyed, the mountain is also destroyed, we have no way out, we have to look forward."

He couldn't say anything more exciting now.

No one moved.

It was Quan Quanjin who yelled: "What are you doing standing there! What's the use of crying? Why don't you hurry up and do something useful!"

After yelling, Quan Quanjin wiped away the tears on his face, and called his brothers to start looking for firewood.

There was not much dry firewood collected before the rain, and some of the firewood burned in the cave were brought out by their Qi family from home.

With so many people, the remaining firewood is simply not enough.

Except for the youngest Lao Liu who stayed to take care of his parents, the Qi family brothers all walked down the mountain with hatchets, hoes and the like.

They dare not enter places with too much smoke, and it is useless to enter, so they gather firewood in the green forest.

The rain made the firewood wet, but it didn't matter, it could still be used after taking it back and roasting it next to the fire.

The other men in the village also wiped their tears one after another and joined the team of collecting firewood.

The women cried longer, but they also cleaned up their things while crying.

With so many people, the cave would definitely not be able to accommodate them, so they had to quickly find a way to build a shed.

There is no suitable wood for support, so the women move the things on the wooden cart at home, then erect the wooden cart, fix it with stones, wood, etc., and tie the coarse cloth or oiled paper brought from home to the On the handle of the cart.

In this way, a triangular space is created.

Although the space is not large, one or two people can always stay inside.

Yi Meng also came out after handing Qi Manman over to Qi Cheng.

Seeing that everyone was doing this, she also asked her three sister-in-laws to build tents with her siblings.

But the Qi family had a lot of wooden carts, five in total, so Yi Meng asked everyone to form a semicircle with wooden carts, and then fixed oiled paper on the top.

This kind of space can be larger, and more people can be seated in it.

The ground was still wet and there were many stones. Yimeng looked around and said to Qi Dalang, "Dalang, bring your younger brothers back to get some leaves."

Qi Dalang responded, and called Erlang to Liulang to collect leaves.

Ai Zhaodi is the fifth daughter-in-law of the Qi family, and now she has tied up a corner of oil paper, so she comes over to Yimeng and asks: "Sister-in-law four, the leaves are all green and not easy to burn, what are we doing with them?"

"Put it in a pan and fry it dry, and spread it on the ground to prevent moisture and make the ground less hard."

Yi Meng walked into the cave while explaining.

When she came out again, there was a basket on Yi Meng's back with dry firewood in it.

Ai Zhaodi hurriedly moved down the iron pot at home, and built a fire with Yi Meng, and sat the iron pot on it when the fire ignited.

The daughter-in-law and mother-in-law of some nearby people saw it and asked, "Daughter-in-law Quan Jin, are you going to cook now?"

"No, it's for frying leaves."

Yimeng answered with her mouth, and her hands kept moving: "The ground is too wet, so I can't directly lay quilts or something, otherwise the quilts will be fried, and we will have nothing to cover in the future. So I thought about removing the rainwater on the surface of the leaves. Dry it and spread it on the ground."

"Aunts and sisters-in-law, if you don't have anything to prevent moisture, you might as well try this, it's always a way."

Yi Meng smiled at everyone, not intending to hide any secrets at all.

Now everyone's escape from famine is a certainty, and they are people from the same village, and they get along well on weekdays.

It's boring to keep secrets at a time like this, so it's better to tell everyone openly.

Everyone felt novelty when they heard it.

They really never thought that the leaves can be fried.

But the ground was really damp, and many of them were worried that if they just spread the quilt on the floor, the quilt would be useless. Unexpectedly, Qi's fourth daughter-in-law thought of a way.

At the moment, the remaining mother-in-law and daughter-in-law directed the children in the family to collect the leaves.

There are not many other things in the forest, and the number of leaves is definitely enough.

If the ground is not enough, go up the tree to pick it up.

Few children who grow up in the village can't climb trees.

Coupled with the fact that there are older children watching, the adults are not worried.

Soon, more than a dozen fires were ignited at the entrance of the cave, and there were half-stained leaves in a large pot.

The women took the shovels and started to fry the leaves. After feeling that there was no water on the surface, they sent them to the tent and spread them on the ground.

The first layer of leaves would return to the moisture soon after it was put on, but no one cared.

Continue to fry, continue to put.

After the tent was covered with leaves nearly half a foot thick, the moisture in the tent dissipated a lot.

In addition, the leaves themselves have temperature, which makes the tent a little hotter than the outside.

Some wise women noticed this, and hurriedly said to those close to them: "Fry the leaves in the tent again before entering the tent at night. It's hot, and it's good to lie down."

This proposal was quickly approved by all.

The leaves were fried wildly, and the men who gathered firewood came back.

Unlike when everyone was sad when they left, everyone who came back was all smiling.

"Why do I smell meat?"

The child with a sharp nose took a deep breath and ran towards his father: "Dad, have you eaten meat? I can smell meat!"

Following the child's words, other people also subconsciously smelled it, and indeed they smelled a vague smell of barbecue.

The man walking in front said with a smile: "Many animals in the forest were burned to death. We saw many intact ones and picked them up. You can eat them after cleaning them up."

This news made the originally sluggish team liven up in an instant.

Although the home is ruined, it is a good thing to have a meal of meat!
If they are full of food and drink, they can better find a new home, no.
