On the road to escape famine, others ate vegetables but I ate meat

Chapter 53 Water spinach
Liu shook her head. "No, I'll help you walk a little further. I see your legs are so weak, it's hard to believe you can walk."

Gu Xue: “…”

It’s definitely my biological mother.

On the road.

A group of people followed behind Lan Yue and the others, keeping a distance from them that was neither too far nor too close.

"Brother, there are those two teams' carriages ahead." Gu Xue said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that we would run into them again."

"Well, we have no right to interfere in other people's affairs." Gu Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Lan Yue, shall we find a place to eat?"

They walked for several hours and had a simple lunch of a few cakes. On the way they also saw many people who had no food. In order to avoid trouble, they simply did not cook.

"Rest where you are."

Lan Yue looked towards the forest and said, "I'm going to go find some wild animals. You guys start making a fire first."

As soon as Lan Yue entered the woods, Xu Yi and Xu Qi looked at each other. They wanted to follow and deal with Lan Yue, but it was obvious that they were no match for her.

Zhang Wenda didn't have much meat in the food he brought, and he was afraid it would spoil on the way. They had a big meal last night. He looked around and saw that many people had also entered the forest. He stood up and said, "I'll go with the others to see if we can catch any pheasants."

Xu Yi nodded. To be honest, he also wanted to eat meat, especially like last night. The feeling of eating meat in big mouthfuls really brought him back to the days when he was the eldest son of the Xu family.

Xu Yi took out some dry food and shared it with Xu Qi and Xu Yin.

He and Xu Rou ate dry steamed buns and swallowed them with water.

His eyes fell on Gu Yan and his family not far away.

Unexpectedly, she saved two people. Saving people in this situation of natural disaster and war would undoubtedly bring herself a lot of trouble.

Thinking of the woman’s fair and beautiful face, Xu Yi suddenly felt that the steamed bun in his hand was no longer delicious.

Li Rui watched as many people started to set up pots and cook. She glanced at her elder brother and parents.

Li Qi: "Your mother and I will go find some water, you and your eldest brother will build a pot, and you can go collect firewood."

"Mom and Dad, I'm going to find some water. You and my little sister wait here." Li Yu was worried about his family going to find water. It was getting dark and it was unsafe.

The two did not refuse, "Rui'er, come on, let's go collect firewood."

The three of them went to collect firewood but did not go far. For the safety of their family, they all carefully observed the situation around them.

If their family has no fighting power, they may not be able to save the things on the carriage.

"Rui'er, when you're out, you have to control your temper and don't talk to others carelessly, okay?"

Li Rui looked at her mother and nodded. Of course she knew, but that beautiful young lady was really pleasing to the eyes. It would be great if she could become her sister-in-law.

After the three of them collected the firewood and were about to go back, they saw a dark blue figure walking past them.

This girl is so beautiful!
Even if she was wearing men's clothes, it couldn't hide her appearance. Anyone who knew a little bit could tell at a glance that she was a girl.

"Mom and Dad, when you looked at that person just now, was he a boy or a girl?" Li Rui looked at Lan Yue, who seemed a little taller, and rolled her eyes. She decided to test her parents.

Li Qi and Chen glared at her. "You little girl, you want to test me and your mother? Don't you see who took care of you when you were a child? She... is naturally someone like you."

Li Qi lowered his voice when he spoke. He didn't expect that this girl was so smart at such a young age. She knew that she was beautiful and didn't want to cause trouble, so she wore men's clothes and combed her hair into a men's hairstyle. If you don't look carefully, you really don't know whether the other person is a man or a woman. Of course, if the other person is a little older, maybe it won't be hidden, right?

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to have such a good eye." Li Rui laughed, "Mom and Dad, what do you think about letting her be my sister-in-law?"

Li Qi and Chen stopped and turned to look at Li Rui with contempt and a look as if they were looking at a fool. "Do you think your brother is a good person? Don't mess with her. She is not someone we can mess with."

The last sentence comes with a warning.

Li Rui: “…”

She has already provoked him, what should she do?
Lan Yue took a rabbit, a fish and a pheasant, and picked some water spinach.

"Sister Lan Yue, you are so awesome!"

Nanyu and Gu Xue's eyes lit up when they saw what Lan Yue brought back. Sister Lan Yue always managed to catch rabbits! And pheasants! So big and fat!
fish!
The fish was also very big, looking like it weighed ten kilograms.

The rabbit and pheasant were brought back after being cleaned by Lan Yue. The fish was too fishy, ​​so she didn't process it.

"Auntie Liu, thank you for taking this fish." Lan Yue gave the fish to Auntie Liu.

Liu took the fish with a smile. It was quite heavy.

"No trouble, no trouble. I'll clean it up first." Liu asked Gu Xue to help put the boards in place and asked Nan Yu to help drain the water.

"Are you going to finish all of this tonight?" Nanyu smacked his lips, his eyes casually sweeping over the things in Lanyue's hands, "What are these?" They were green and looked like weeds.

"This is... a wild vegetable." Lan Yue didn't mention water spinach. She handed the vegetable to Nan Yan and said, "Please help me wash it."

Gu Yan plucked a leaf from the wild vegetable in Nan Yan's hand, observed it carefully, and then smelled it. His eyes suddenly lit up, "This is water spinach, which is also called water spinach in books. It has many aliases, and each place has a different name." After he finished speaking, he looked at Lan Yue with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect you to discover this kind of vegetable."

Lan Yue was a little surprised. "Water spinach? Water spinach?"

Gu Yan nodded, "This kind of vegetable can also be found in the wild, but few people can find it. People in some places may grow it as a vegetable, but people in other places don't eat it, so few people know it."

Lan Yue said "Oh". She didn't expect that the people here actually knew each other.

There are still many seeds in her space that have not been planted. When she has time tonight, she will go in and take a look, and plant them all. This way, she will not lack vegetables to eat, and they will be spiritual vegetables.

"I didn't expect Mr. Gu to be so knowledgeable." Nan Yu was listening with great interest. He had eaten a lot of wild vegetables before, but unfortunately he didn't know their names. Everyone called all edible vegetables wild vegetables.

To the point that now he only knows Chinese cabbage and wild vegetables.

Gu Yan smiled faintly, "Do you want to learn to read?"

Nan Yu was delighted, "Brother Gu is willing to teach me?"

"Of course, as long as you are willing to learn."

"Ah, woooo, I am willing, Brother Gu." Nan Yu choked up. He never thought that he would be able to read and write one day. His family used to be very poor, so poor that they couldn't buy food and his sister couldn't go to school, let alone him being able to read and write.

"Brother Gu, I want to learn too." Nan Yan had learned a little before, but due to family reasons, she had never been to school. But she was smart, and once she started to learn, she could learn it in a short time.
