Fertile land

Chapter 11

Collect all the bird's nests, put them into snakeskin bags, pull on the vines and plan to go down.

Suddenly, she found that there seemed to be a hole on the side of the cliff. The door was blocked by short trees and some vines.

You can't find it unless it's up here, it's so dark...

"Miaomiao, there is a cave over here. Mom, go in and have a look. You must not run around, do you understand?"

"Mom, hurry up, Miaomiao is a little scared!"

Miaomiao shouted loudly to her from above.

"Okay! Mom will be back soon!"

I concentrated my mind and didn't look down. Fortunately, there was a path as wide as my hand on the cliff. I stretched my fingers and climbed over it boldly...

Sure enough, when we arrived at the entrance of the cave, we found that the hole was not big and was formed naturally.

There are some water dragon bones growing at the entrance of the cave, which can be used as medicinal materials.

However, compared with the bird's nest, it was not worth much, so she didn't care.

There were some green vegetation growing inside the cave. She observed it and found a super fat water dragon...

She couldn't help but pull it out.

When I pulled up the water keel, I found bees buzzing. Looking in the direction, I saw that bees were gathering on the cliff not far away.

If there are bees, it seems there is wild honey!
There are many bird's nests on the top of the cave, more than just outside.

She pulled the branches on the stone and climbed up, first picking all the bird's nests inside!
After that, I came up with the idea of ​​honey.

It looks like there are a lot of bees, this must be a crag bee, it's quite big!
After thinking about it, I piled all the bird's nests on the ground first.

Fortunately, she had a flint on her body. She searched for some branches with leaves in the cave, lit them and roasted them with smoke...

I saw the bees flying away buzzing, and at about the same time...

He took off his coat and covered his face, took a deep breath, and walked over...

I had no other tools, so I had to pick it with my hands. I casually broke a branch and drove away the remaining bees...

I quickly reached out and picked a few pieces of honeycomb filled with honey, quickly put them into snakeskin bags, and then stopped picking...

Bees are extremely protective of their food. Even though she covered her face with clothes, she was still stung around her eyes. The back of her hand also hurt so much that she was also stung...

I instantly felt the burning and stinging sensation, and endured the pain and returned to the place where I had placed the bird's nest.

He pulled out the bee stings from his hands and picked out the testicles on his eyelids.

After picking up the bird's nests and stuffing them into his arms, his hands quickly swelled into pig's hooves.

She couldn't see around her eyes, and she felt uncomfortable. It must have been swollen...

I vaguely heard the sound of Miao Miao shouting outside...

At this time, I couldn't care about that much. I touched the bird's nest on my chest, picked up the water dragon bone, and went out carrying the snakeskin bag...

She was worried about Miao Miao. One was afraid of wild animals, and the other was that the cliff was too dangerous. She was young after all. If she missed the mark, she would definitely regret it...

Climbed out along the original path...

Miaomiao looked at the side of the cliff with worried eyes, until she saw her mother's figure appear, she finally breathed a sigh of relief...

"Mom, you've been gone for a long time..."

Luo Zhi'er shouted to Miao Miao to give way, and the giant jumped down the stone steps.

"Ouch!"

Bird's nests are scattered on the ground...

"Mom, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Miaomiao went to help her and was shocked when she saw her mother's face.

Her mother usually has a lot of flesh on her face, but now her whole head is so swollen, especially around her eyes, which are only squinting...

"Haha, it's okay. I was stung by a bee and will be fine in a few days!"

"Mom, does it hurt? Miaomiao, please give me a whimper!"

Miaomiao stepped forward and blew her...

Luo Zhi'er felt warm...

"Okay! It won't hurt anymore after being called by Miaomiao. Let's put these bird's nests away!"

"Mom, is this bird's nest edible?"

Miaomiao was full of curiosity about the world and saw her mother climbing for a long time just to pick this milky white nest.

At this age, she is confused about everything.

"Of course, silly girl, I will make it for you to try later! It tastes very delicious!"

Luo Zhi'er broke off a piece of honey for Miao Miao and fed it into her mouth.

Miaomiao is so sweet...

I folded some large leaves, separated the snakeskin bag from other things in the backpack, and then put a layer on the outside to prevent honey from leaking.

Then collect the bird's nests...

Then the two of them reached the top of the mountain...

Behind the top of the mountain is a series of large mountains. The further you go inside, the deeper and deeper you become, and the less visited...

I heard scary sounds coming from inside from time to time, and thought of wild boars, big cats, etc...

She was worried about Miaomiao. She was too weak to be hit and couldn't run away, so she didn't dare to go inside...

Let her come again next time she has a chance!
I raised my head and looked at the sun. Because I had been picking up acorns for a long time, the sun was a bit to the west.

I'm afraid there's still a tough battle to fight when I get home!

I found a place with a wide view on the top of the mountain, and there was a ravine on the side.

I put down my backpack and planned to make lunch for the afternoon. My mother and I would eat and then go home.

I found a flat stone slab in the ravine, washed it, took it, burned it in the fire, put some oil, and fried the wild eggs on it...

I just picked up some fat matsutake mushrooms and bird's nests and washed them with water in the ravine.

When I come back, I put a tea jar full of cleaned bird's nests and water in the fire to boil, and then add some honey...

Find thin branches and insert them into a skewer shape, apply some lard and bake on the fire.

I made five or six skewers, the lard seeped into them, and they were grilled until they were sizzling. I almost sprinkled some salt on them...

After a while, the aroma filled the air. Miaomiao swallowed her saliva and looked at her with pleading eyes. She couldn't help it anymore.

"Mom, it smells so good!"

Luo Zhi'er chuckled, "Miao Miao is a snack!"

Miaomiao smiled sweetly and thought to herself, so does my mother.

First, give Miao Miao a bunch of matsutake mushrooms to eat.

Then, fried eggs…

"Mom, this is how the omelette tastes. It's so fragrant! I used to see grandma making omelette for my fourth uncle and I wanted to eat it, but grandma beat me up and even scolded me..."

It hurts to say that.

From then on, she never dared to ask for omelette from her mother again...

Luo Zhi'er felt that Miao Miao was really pitiful, which made her feel distressed. How could a child not be greedy? However, this family was too partial...

"Then Miaomiao, eat more!"

"Mom, you eat too!"

After they had eaten, drank, and rested enough, they went down the mountain.

She told Miaomiao not to tell her family what happened today...

Especially about the bird's nest, don't tell anyone.

Miaomiao nodded heavily!

"Understood, mother!"

On the way to a wasteland, Miao Miao saw some fresh snake fruits on the edge, so she picked them up and ate them.

Luo Zhi'er helped her pick a handful and saw the fat shepherd's purse nearby, so she dug some with a sickle.

Thinking of the wild boar meat yesterday, maybe we can make dumplings at home?
She thought too much...

When I was almost home, I found a place nearby, placed the water spout there, and covered it with hay...

By the time they got home, Zhou had already returned from selling pork.

Sit on the door board and curse...

When Shanshan saw Luo Zhi'er returning home after dark, she was so angry that she rushed over with a roar...

The whole family looked at the couple with angry eyes...

"You damn little hooves, you still know how to come back?"

Mrs. Zhou rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards her, looking like she wouldn't give up until she was killed. . .

Luo Zhi'er took a look and saw a big rock behind him. Can he survive if he fell on it?
Mrs. Zhou planned to hit you to death, and then she dared to get up and slap this little hoof a few times to vent her anger...

Going against the will of God?
The persimmons are softly pinch!

All the daughters-in-law in the house are so unruly, and everything she says is treated as fart, where is the dignity?

Luo Zhi'er quickly pulled Miao Miao over, and in a flash, Zhou didn't even expect that she would hide. She didn't know what she was kicked by, but she was thrown into the mud!

"Ouch! You're going to kill me!" Li Zhuzhen rushed over and scolded her together with her mother! "Third sister-in-law, you dare to hide? Why don't you apologize to my mother quickly!"

Luo Zhi'er smiled coldly and remained unmoved!
"Damn you fat hooves! I'm going against the will of God. I've only been out for half a day and you've disappeared..."

"Why don't you tell me honestly what shameful things you did behind our back?"

howl!

Luo Zhi'er secretly retracted her foot...

"I killed you with a thousand cuts! How dare you harm your mother-in-law? Why didn't Lei chop you to death!"

I'm afraid no one in the village will hear me!

"Mom, don't be like this..."

Li Sanmao ran over quickly and pulled her.

Ms. Zhou threw her away and said, "Third brother, she's hurting me. If you don't give her some love today, I won't be done with you anymore!"

Li Sanmao looked at the fat wife with a cold face and was in a dilemma.

"Mom, what are you talking about? How could Zhi'er harm you?"

"What? Hurry up and beat her to death! If you don't teach her a lesson, mother won't obey."

This third daughter-in-law is thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and she just wants to be beaten hard!

Li Sanmao was conflicted. He knew that his mother was partial to her, but after all, she was a mother, but her daughter-in-law was not well yet. What color should she show her?
How could she harm her mother?Everyone saw that it was my mother who accidentally kicked something, and she was the one who usually cursed her!

Besides, she left snake soup and fried eggs for him yesterday, and he didn't want to part with them...

The more I look at it, the more something is wrong. Why is this face so swollen?But injured?

"Daughter-in-law, your face is..."

I want to go back to the house and show her...

Today, when I was selling meat, a pair of big black eyes always flashed through my mind.

"fine!"

"Old third!!!"

"mother…"

"What? Now that your wings are hard, you don't even dare to disobey me?"

"Mom, Miaomiao's mother didn't do anything. Don't mess around. She's not well yet. How did you hit her like this? What should you do?"

"What? Oh my god, I really forgot about my mother after marrying my daughter-in-law. I really raised a white-eyed wolf!"

Zhou slapped her thighs with both hands and rolled to the ground, bouncing so hard!This third child dares to say that she is wrong!
He pointed at his nose and cursed in a sharp voice: "You unfilial beast, you dare to contradict me for a fat hoof who eats, drinks, cheats and slips! Why are you not afraid of being struck by lightning!"

Luo Zhi'er sneered from the side, watching her performance.

But this Li Sanmao is quite enlightened and knowledgeable!
If he really dared to hit her, she, Luo Zhi'er, would have nothing to argue with him about.

"Third brother, this is your fault. We sons only listen to what mother says. If you contradict mother, you are not afraid of being struck by lightning!"

"Why don't you apologize to mother quickly!"

"Yes, yes!" Li Zhuzhu agreed!

The second child, Li Lei, came over to comfort him!In fact, it fanned the flames.

"Second brother, if your mother asked you to beat your second sister-in-law, would you do it?"

Li Sanmao was not stupid, so he directly threw the question to him and responded to him calmly.

Li Lei was startled. It turned out that this third child was not a pimple at all. He looked back at his wife Chen. She held the handkerchief tightly in her hand and gave him a fierce look...

That's it, let's have some good fruit from him tonight!

He glanced disdainfully at the third younger brother and sister who were so fat that they had no human shape...

"What a joke, who is she, Luo Zhi'er? Can she compare to Jiabao's mother?"

"Second brother, Mr. Chen is a treasure in your heart, and so is our Zhi'er in my heart!"

"what?"

Taking the wrong medicine?

Luo Zhi'er looked at Li Sanmao and knew that he was talking about Luo Zhi'er, but her cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red...

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I'm going to die... Will you fight me, Third Brother?"

"Mother, what are you doing when you get up?" Lao Litou couldn't stand it anymore. He came back to the backyard and washed his hands before he had time to rest!
Make a fuss!
How many people in Murakami will see the joke in his hometown later!
"Hurry up, don't let me follow you for real!"

Old Li looked at Mr. Zhou with big eyes and scolded him!
"father…"

Li Zhuzhen wants to plead with her father!
"You too, go on your way."

This only little girl is not young yet and has the same virtues as her mother.

She was too lazy to be taken care of by her mother. The girl next to her at the age of [-] or [-] had already passed the threshold of people seeking marriage. No wonder no one came to her door to ask for marriage...

In this world, what can a woman do if she is not diligent?

When she was a child, Mrs. Zhou was doing farm work in the fields with her pearls, when she met a Taoist priest who asked her to become a vegetarian!

The Taoist priest plausibly said that pearls will bring wealth and fortune in the future!
That made her extremely happy. She often said that Pearl would marry the master and be his wife in the future, so that she would not have to endure hardship...

"If you keep dawdling any longer, I'll divorce you!"

Mrs. Zhou was startled by Old Man Li, "What, you still want me to notify Old Zhou's family to pick you up now?"

He got up as soon as he somersaulted, with a look of reluctance on his face.

This damn old man always thinks he is not on her side.

"What are you mumbling about?"

"I didn't!"

"Hmph!" Lao Li turned around and looked at Luo Zhi'er, with a stern look on his face and said, "Third wife, it's really your fault today. I don't blame your mother-in-law for being angry!"

"How could you not do any housework and go up the mountain to play by yourself?"

"Come back now? I'm making everyone worried!"

"That is to say, we won't see you when we wake up in the morning, so I'll be the one pulling the pig grass!"

Li Zhuzhen said quickly.

I didn’t eat the meat shuttle and did a lot of housework.

However, she didn't pull at the pigweed. Her fingernails had just been dyed with flower juice and she couldn't damage them.

She just picked up the previous one and threw it in because it was the pig that her mother cared about most.

No matter what, I have to behave in front of my father.

"Well, Pearl, you did a good job this time!" Old Man Li nodded slightly.

"Dad, I'm not lazy. I just saw that everyone hasn't gotten up yet. There are so many people at home and I shouldn't need me to cook."

"I just wanted to go up the mountain and see if I could find anything that could help my family improve their food, or maybe sell it for money..."

These words made Mrs. Zhou angry. These lazy hooves would be lazy when she wasn't around.

Even though I was already old, I was selling pork before dawn to make money, while they were sleeping soundly at home...

"Oh?"

Lao Li looked at her with turbid eyes. This third daughter-in-law had never been aware of this.

They have always tried their best to make ends meet.

She follows instructions and does housework, and goes to the fields to help when there is farm work...

When can we consider our family’s livelihood now?

"It's true, father-in-law, look, there are a lot of wild beasts in this basket!"

Luo Zhi'er put down the basket on his back, and everyone took a look in the basket. What, shepherd's purse, this thing is good for feeding pigs.

When there is a famine, you can use it to wrap your belly!
"Third daughter-in-law, isn't this shepherd's purse?" Old Li Tou said.

"That's right! I'm just lazy when I'm lazy. I must have forgotten about it. When the sun sets, I'll be scolded when I come back. I ordered some shepherd's purse to fool the big guys!"

Mrs. Chen also stepped in, probed her neck and said disdainfully.

"That's what I saw!"

Little Mrs. Zhou also came over to see the excitement. No wonder Mrs. Zhou was so angry!

She fried the pork suet today, and her mother had to kill her when she came back. Now the disaster is being diverted to the east to help her out!

Little Zhou was very hungry in the morning. When she got up and saw no one at home, she ran to the kitchen and saw the pig suet piled in the wooden basin under the chopping board and swallowed her saliva...

When the mother-in-law came back, they would not be able to share the fried oil shuttles. She must have collected them and brought them to Li Gui's school as snacks.

How can she give him any advantage? She still has a few dolls at home.

Therefore, when Mr. Chen came in, he could already see the mess being fried in the pot.

After it was fried, some salt and chopped green onions were added. The two sisters-in-law each filled half a bowl for the little baby, and the rest went into their stomachs.

Li Zhuzhu woke up late and only ate a few scraps. She was so angry that she cried and made a fuss. She said she was coming back to her mother to complain about eating alone!
Li Gui, too, smelled the fragrance of oil. He waited in his bedroom for a long time and no one called him.

When I heard Pearl crying, I realized that they had eaten them all!
In the afternoon, you pushed me and I pushed you. I didn't cook, saying I wanted to wait for Luo Zhi'er to come back to cook.

I guess I have something to eat...

He hadn't eaten anything in the morning. He was so hungry that he felt dizzy and clenched his fists with anger!
