back to the turbulent age

Chapter 3, Humanoid Water Pump
Hearing this, both of them were surprised for a while.

Yang Huaihua frowned: "Why did you bring so much? To sell? This is life-saving food?"

Looking at the two of them, Zhao Chuanliang said seriously: "Mother, trust me once, within ten days, half a month at most, I will be able to get food. And I may have to go out for a few days. Don't worry, there will be no danger."

The two looked at each other when they heard what he said.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Tiegen nodded: "Okay, let your mother get it!"

If it weren't for the fourth child, my family might not be able to do everything.

Yang Huaihua agreed to come down and follow her son back.

Looking at the back of the two mothers leaving, Zhao Tiegen sighed, hoping for good news!
"Genzi! Why is your wife going?"

A middle-aged man next to him naturally saw the small movements of the three of them and asked with a smile.

Zhao Tiegen said with a wry smile: "Liangzi said to go to his grandfather to see if he can get some food. Otherwise, there is no way to survive the winter."

There is no way to hide it completely. During this period, the main theme of the village was to get food.Where to get food.

With a little weird movement, you can guess the purpose.

My father-in-law's family is close to the river, although the production has been reduced a lot, but it is slightly better than here, and this is just an excuse.

Tell outsiders to listen.

The man nodded slightly when he heard this, and he could guess it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Because not only Zhao Tiegen's family, but other families are trying to find a way.

Back home, Yang Huaihua took the key and went to the kitchen to open the cabinet, which was usually locked.

In the cupboard is all the rations for the family.

Yang Huaihua took out a small bag of corn kernels from the cupboard and handed it to him: "Here, do you want the others?"

Zhao Chuanliang glanced at it, and there were still a lot of corncobs in it, which will be eaten with cornmeal in the future.

I didn't take anything else, only two fist-sized sweet potatoes.

This is his ration.

Otherwise, I would not be able to persist into the mountains.

"That's enough, that's all. I'll bring a kitchen knife, a box of matches and a little salt."

Mother nodded when she heard the words: "Okay, take it, where are you going?"

"Mother, don't worry about it. Nothing will happen. I'll come back as soon as I get it done. Don't save on food at home."

Zhao Chuanliang took the good things, went back to the house, and carried the cloth burden that he often brought on his back.

After washing the sweet potatoes, looking at the worried mother at the door, she said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry, everyone will definitely come back. I'm leaving!"

After speaking, he hurried out.

The mountain is seven or eight kilometers away from here, and it takes two or three hours to walk, and I still have to go deep into the mountain.

Seeing the back of her son leaving, Yang Huaihua was worried for a while.

But it has been such a long time, and he has gone out alone several times in the past few years, so he is not too worried.

After Zhao Chuanliang came out, he gnawed on the sweet potato in his hand and walked towards the mountain.

He is a middle school student in the county. Because of the lack of food, few students can go to school, and the school doesn't care much.

And now it's a busy farming holiday, a total of [-] days.

So he doesn't need a letter of introduction either.

But if you go out of the whole county, you have to prove it. It should be a district, but after the county was changed to a district, everyone has become accustomed to this name.

Two fist-sized sweet potatoes supplemented his energy for rushing to the mountains.

On the road, some people saw him go out with a bag on his back, but no one was surprised that there were too many people going out to find a way during this time.

There are also those who apply to beg for food in the city.

It's not far away, find a place to enter the space, and plant corn on an acre of land, and he still has use for the remaining corn seeds!
After finishing it, he left the space.

Enduring weakness and walking towards the mountain, it took three hours to reach the edge of the mountain.

The trees around here have been cut down.

From time to time, there are figures of children haunting the nearby mountains and forests.

This is the advantage of occupying the geographical advantage. Unlike them, it takes two or three hours to get here. If there is no harvest, it will be a complete waste of food.

Without caring about others, he plunged into the forest.

Now it's autumn, most of the leaves have started to turn yellow, and the whole mountain forest is golden yellow.

If you are full of food and drink, you can enjoy the beauty of this autumn.

But at this moment, he was in no mood to look at these things.

Eyes have been scanning around.

A bird's nest in a tree, a corner in the grass.

But he can't get these, he doesn't have the strength to climb up the tree, and he can't catch up with hares and pheasants.

Now all he needs is a big animal to attack him.

At this moment, he really wanted to shout: "Come on, come and ravage me!"

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and we went forward for another hour, but there was no one around, because these people were also short of food, and they didn't have the strength to go deeper, fearing that they would never come out again.

One hour seems like a long time, but in fact, it only turned over two hills.

Because he wanted to detour along the gap between the two mountains.

There used to be a creek here, although it has dried up now, only where there is water will there be beasts.

"Hey, pheasant!"

"Hey, hare!"

……

Looking at the little animals that were startled away by his movements from time to time, Zhao Chuanliang's heart ached for a while.

This is all meat!
It's a good idea to wait for the rabbit!

It's good for you to bump into one!

Another hour later, the sky was already approaching dusk, and when he came to the edge of a mountain again, he stopped.

The neighborhood is notoriously haunted by wolves.

Because there is a small pool here.

After searching around, he followed the stream that was almost dry before arriving at his destination.

This is a small pool, only about a dozen square meters.

It is evening now, and some animals should come to drink water in a while.

Zhao Chuanliang prayed in his heart that it would be best to come from a big guy.

Thinking of this, he took out the last piece of sweet potato and waited beside it.

While eating sweet potatoes, looking at the water in the nearby pool, he paused while eating.

This pool is a shallow pool. If you can take it in or let it go, wouldn't you be able to drain the water?
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He hurriedly stood up, biting the sweet potato with his mouth, took off the straw sandals and put them aside, and went straight down.

Squatting on the surface of the water, inserting one hand into the water, the water disappeared visible to the naked eye after a while.

The puddle, which was only half a meter deep, was cleaned up by him in a short while.

It is simply a high-power humanoid water pump!
Seeing that there are a lot of lively crucian carp ginseng sticks inside, he was happy for a while, this is all meat!

The water pool is not big, but there are quite a lot of things in it. It is estimated that it has not been caught for too many years.

All kinds of miscellaneous fish together weigh about ten catties.

The largest crucian carp has six or seven taels.

Rice field eels and loach are not big, only the thickness of a little finger, and they happily put everything into the space.This is his first bumper harvest.

Good start!
Bringing fish into the space by handfuls is troublesome now, but it won't be so troublesome after he gets in, he can do whatever he wants!
After finishing, he closed the stall happily.

Wiping his hands, he continued to bite the sweet potato, eating happily.

Suddenly he felt something was wrong, so he turned his head to look.

He was startled when he saw the scene behind him: "Damn it!!"
