The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 5
At this time, it was lunch time again.

The three of them were starving for a long time, and Zisu went to look for water alone, and told her father and younger brother to collect firewood and prepare wild vegetable soup.By the way, she also wanted to look around the water source to see if there were any precious medicinal materials.It would be great to find a ginseng tree!
It didn't take long to find the water source this time.Mai Xiang walked for a cup of tea when she heard the sound of ding-dong spring water. She followed the sound and found a spring.

very good!The water in the spring is much cleaner than the water in the creek!After taking a sip, it was really sweet.

Mai Xiang drank a few more sips, and then happily took out the gourd from the back basket, humming a little song and pouring water.After filling the four gourds, she carefully carried the basket on her back and walked back. There was a spring here, and there must be plenty of wild fruits and vegetables nearby.Maybe you can even pick mushrooms!

When she returned to the previous place, her father and younger brother had already lit a large bonfire, built a stone stove, and even pulled a large handful of wild vegetables, waiting for her to fetch water.

Mai Xiang happily put the gourd on the ground: "Daddy, there is a spring over there, I will wash the wild vegetables there! Daddy and Pinellia will also go together to see if they can pick wild fruits and mushrooms. Just a pheasant will do!"

"Okay, we'll go with you!" Liang Gaoshan was a daughter-in-law, and he rarely refuted what his daughter said.

When Banxia heard that the spring was found, she immediately smiled, and she would not object.

It's good to have a spring, now, you don't have to worry about running out of water in the future!
The innocent boy thought that as long as there is a spring, the water will never stop flowing.

Zisu is also very happy, as long as the spring in the deep mountain does not dry up, the family will still have a way to live.If one day, even the spring here is cut off, that will be really scary!In that case, for a poor family like hers, there is really no way out!
The father and daughter centered on the spring, looking for wild fruits, wild vegetables, and medicinal materials.There is no road in the deep mountains, and the road is completely opened by Liang Gaoshan with a small machete. One can imagine the difficulties.

Among the three, the one who recognized the medicinal material was Zisu.In her previous life, she came from a family of martial arts, so she followed her elders to know some medicinal herbs in case of emergency.

The three of them searched for a long time, and dug up a lot of wild vegetables, and the three of them had more than half of their back baskets.In addition, several edible wild fruits were found, as well as a large handful of common herbs.Liang Gaoshan said: "Okay, let's go wash the wild vegetables, and look for them after lunch!"

After eating wild vegetable soup, the father and daughter began to search for wild vegetables, wild fruits and medicinal herbs in a blanket manner, but Liang Gaoshan and Pinellia didn't know the medicinal herbs, so the results were minimal.

Mai Xiang said: "Daddy, it's better like this. Let Pinellia dig wild vegetables, and I will dig herbs. Just dig some holes in the woods, make them into traps, and see if you can hunt some pheasants and hares. "

Liang Gaoshan readily agreed: "Okay, then I'll dig a hole!" As he said, he had already gone down with a hoe, and started digging hard in front of a thorn canopy.

Mai Xiang couldn't help shaking her head, this cheap father really loves his daughter, and she will do whatever she says.His simple and honest appearance can't help but move Mai Xiang, making her heart warm.

This cheap father has one thing in common with the father in her previous life, that is, the father's love for her children is so full that it will overflow.From Mai Xiang's point of view, although she is not smart enough, she is honest and cute.

The sun set early in the mountains, and before one knew it, the forest gradually darkened.Mai Xiang crawled back and forth in the forest, her cheeks were scratched several times by the sharp grass.In the ear, there was faintly the anxious call of cheap father: "Mai Xiang! Where are you? It's getting dark, come back quickly!"
