Chapter 17: peanuts and hares
Chapter 17 Peanuts and Hare
Nangong Anshan said: "You can drink as much as you want, but we can still persist. Your life is at stake."
Yu Shi thanked again and again, and then continued to drink porridge.
Thinking that her son hadn't eaten rice for several days, she forced him to drink a few sips too.
After Wei Zhongshan finished his porridge, he glanced at the bamboo tube and said, "Ashan, next time I meet a water source, I will wash it and return it to you."
Nangong Anshan said: "It's okay, I'll give it to you, let's use it as a tool to hold water."
"Thank you, Shan."
After Shi Shi recovered, Zhou Lizheng let them continue their journey.
Since two days ago, Mrs. Qiu has been following behind Nangong Anshan's family.
Seeing that they gave the precious porridge to outsiders, their jealous eyes turned red.
Really too much!
Nangong Anshan felt someone staring at her behind her, and when she turned her head, she saw her grandparents, aunt, second aunt, and third bedroom were all staring at her.
"Stare again, I'll cut out your eyeballs!"
Those people didn't know why, but suddenly felt a pain in their eyeballs, and quickly looked away.
"Hmph." Nangong Anshan turned her head and continued pushing the person.
Yang Ruolan sat on the cart, looked at the food they had left, and immediately became frowning.
There are seven people in their family now, and they are all growing up. There is not much food in the basket now, and it is estimated that there will not be enough food for today.
Nangong Anshan naturally saw what A Niang was worried about, so she didn't speak.
She now has the six merits, and she can get a lot of food out, it's nothing more than asking her to think of an excuse.
This time is the same as the places I passed by before. The places I passed by were all bare, and the people in Qingshan Village looked anxious.
It was already noon, Zhou Lizheng wanted to stop, but seeing that there was no water or food nearby, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and let everyone continue walking.
After all, they saw a mountain in front of them, and there should be food if there is a mountain.
Everyone had no objection and continued walking.
Finally, they came to the foot of a mountain.
Zhou Lizheng looked at the map and said to all his children: "According to the map guide, to reach Liwang's fief as soon as possible, we need to reach Hanshui City first, and we only need two days to climb this mountain. If we bypass this Mountain, we need to spend five days. You can ask the family members to see how they want to go. But please rest assured that this mountain is famously safe because there are so many people walking, and it has never been violent. The beast appeared."
"Yes."
After a while his children came back.
"Father, they all say over the mountain."
"Okay." Zhou Lizheng said: "Then let's rest where we are, and we will go up the mountain when we wake up tomorrow morning."
This place is not bad, at least it can make them see some green.
Everyone relaxed immediately, those who had food started to cook, and those who had no food started to look for food at the foot of the mountain.
Nangong Anshan poured all the rice into the pot, which was only enough for three people, and it was porridge.
Mrs. Qiu was next door, and at a glance, she saw that Nangong Anshan didn't have much rice, so she proudly said: "I told you that you didn't know how to save money before, and you ate dry rice every day, and you just gave it to others. Let me see what you eat. Tell me You, we all still have some food, and we can last for many days."
Nangong Miao also taunted: "People like you are only hungry."
Nangong Anshan raised her eyebrows and said, "Who said I only have these foods?"
"Don't be so stubborn." Qiu said sarcastically, "Do you know how many people disliked you during this period of time? You actually eat dry rice, eggs, and pancakes every day while fleeing. It's really life-threatening. I advise you, It’s better to run faster, and follow to pick wild vegetables and dig grass roots to eat, so as not to end up with nothing.”
Nangong Anshan snorted, "Don't worry about it, don't worry, our food is guaranteed to be a hundred times better than yours."
After speaking, she asked her second brother to guard the family and make porridge from the leftover rice, while she walked up the mountain with a basket on her back.
Qiu and his family members said: "Just wait and see, when she can't find anything to eat, she will come back and ask us for it. We must not give it to her, and let them go hungry."
"Yes, Ma'am."
It wasn't long before Nangong Anshan came back. From a distance, her back basket seemed to be full of things.
She came to the family, put the basket in front of the family, and took out the contents.
Everyone in the Nangong family's eyes widened in surprise.
Yang Ruolan said: "This... is this a peanut? Are there peanuts on the mountain? And the peanuts are very good."
Nangong Anshan said: "Well, yes, but I found that one, and I didn't look around."
When the merit is five, it can be exchanged for peanuts, which can be without soil or with soil. In order to deceive people, she asked Boy Tai Le to give her one with soil.
Yang Ruolan and the children breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Peanuts are also very full. There are at least dozens of catties of peanuts in the back basket. Now they can not be hungry for several days.
Ashan was right. God really gave her good luck, allowing her to find food easily.
Nangong Anshan opened another cloth bag, revealing the hare inside.
Everyone was even more shocked, "Rabbit?"
Nangong Anshan said: "That's right, let's make rabbit stewed peanuts tonight."
Yang Ruolan and the children were looking forward to it. They have meat to eat tonight.
The Qiu family and their daughters and granddaughters were stunned when they saw that Nangong Anshan found the hare and peanuts.
Nangong Anshan noticed the gazes of Qiu Shi and others, and said with a smile: "I've let you down, I have meat tonight."
Qiu's face was a little embarrassed, but he still licked his face and asked, "Where did you find your hare and peanuts?"
Nangong Anshan pointed in one direction, and said with a very generous look, "It's right there."
The Qiu family and their family did not waste any time, leaving one person to cook, while the others ran there.
The people nearby also heard what Nangong Anshan said, and they followed Qiu and the others before it was completely dark.
They don't want to catch rabbits, they just want to dig peanuts.
Peanuts are preserved properly, but they can be preserved for a long time.
Seeing this, Nangong Sheng said, "Ah Shan, why don't we go there too, we have a lot of people, and we can definitely bring more this time, so don't take advantage of them, Nai."
"Second brother, don't worry, I'm not stupid, the Qiu family is about to sell me, how can I find food for her? I'm sure there are no more around, but there are other things."
"what?"
"I'll find out later."
