Chu Ling was hit to death that night.

But Lao Wan didn't feel anything. The two hundred taels of silver he got for no reason was enough for him to live a carefree life.

A hunter needs extremely good luck to earn one hundred taels.

Obviously, Lao Wan is very lucky.

This incident gave Xu Wenyan a deeper understanding of the darkness of ancient society.

Human nature is something that is truly unpredictable.

"Brother Chen, let's go."

I have to go to the shelter today. Because of what happened yesterday, Xu Wenyan didn’t even celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. There will be a Mid-Autumn Festival party here.

Xu Wenyan didn't go to Xiaoman, but took Xiaohu and Yuyin to the county for a trip.

I heard there’s a lantern festival or something like that, it’s going to be quite lively.

Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan who was in a daze beside him and asked with concern: "Wife, what's wrong with you?" Xu Wenyan's expression has been a little strange since she came back yesterday.

"Brother Chen." Xu Wenyan held his chin and said lazily.

"Brother Chen is here."

"Let's find a deserted place and live there alone." Xu Wenyan looked at Chen Sanlin, with an unfathomable depth in his eyes.

Chen Sanlin smiled softly and said, "Okay, where do you want to go? I can accompany you anytime."

"What about Xiaodong and the others? What are you going to do?" Xu Wenyan leaned on Chen Sanlin's shoulder, as if only in this way could she feel at ease.

"You can leave it to Uncle Jianye. They still like Xiaodong and the others." Chen Sanlin put his arm around Xu Wenyan's shoulders and patted him gently.

After hearing Chen Sanlin's answer, Xu Wenyan just hugged him and said nothing.

The leaves on the roadside have already turned slightly yellow.

As the autumn wind blows, countless leaves fall one after another, showing the unique breath of autumn.

"Brother Chen, this road was built by Zhan Laowu and his men, right?"

We are almost at the shelter now. About 200 meters away, the weeds and branches around have been cleared away.

The shed at the edge was also repaired more solidly, and the trough inside was filled with hay, which was enough to provide enough hay for two days.

Chen Sanlin locked the mule.

Xu Wenyan saw the path down the mountain at a glance: "They did a good job, they slightly repaired the road down the mountain."

"Yeah, I'm still a little shaky. I'll go ahead."

On the way down the mountain, we passed through the red bean field again. At this time, the beans were ready to be picked.

Walk a little further down and you can see the orchard at the foot of the mountain.

There is no result this year, so we have to wait until next year, after all, it was only transplanted not long ago.

"Uncle Wu! Uncle Xu and the others are here." The children who were still playing in the yard shouted immediately.

Although they were young, they knew that it was Xu Wenyan who provided them with enough food. There were few people here, but they lived quite comfortably.

"I'm working. I'll ask Aunt Zhang to cook something for you." Zhan Laowu got up and walked inside, but was stopped by Xu Wenyan.

"No, we already had breakfast."

The two followed Zhan Laowu into the fields.

It is true that there is strength in numbers.

When Xu Wenyan and his team first came, they reclaimed more than ten acres of land in a year.

These people have only been here for a few months, but they already own forty or fifty acres of land. If there weren't so little land available, they would probably have reclaimed even more.

In their words, doing nothing every day is just like doing nothing.

In addition, there was a lot of hay and coal stored.

When Chen Sanlin came before, he caught a lot of rabbits alive, so the old pens can now be used.

"We saw an iron-eating beast a few days ago. Although it was far away, it was still a little scary." Zhan Laowu said, "We only saw one. Fortunately, there were many of us, so they didn't go into the shelter."

“Well, we’ve seen it before, I don’t know if it’s the same one, you need to form a team of at least five or six people when you go out.

The forests are still very dangerous.”

When we got to the back mountain, half of the land was planted with crops, and the other half was empty.

This is what Xu Wenyan requested. We can grow watermelons in the future. This year, we can just take care of it and fertilize the land.

"By the way, over there in the pond, we used vines to link the trees and slightly surrounded it." Zhan Laowu gestured, "We also found a lot of the frogs and eels you brought back before.

We want to keep them.”

The fence was built to prevent larger wild animals from coming in, and they also cleared some of the grass and trees outside the pond.

"I'll go, there are a few trees in there that have bloomed, have you also removed them?" The Roselle was Xu Wenyan's treasure! Who would he complain to if he removed them?

Seeing Xu Wenyan's anxious look, Zhan Laowu hurriedly recalled: "No, what color is the flower, red?"

"Purple."

Without saying much, Xu Wenyan walked towards the pond and glanced at the mushroom field. The larger mushrooms and wood ears had all been picked.

There were still some small ones left. When Xu Wenyan and the other two arrived at the place, fortunately the Roselle trees were fine.

It looks like it has matured.

"Help me pick them quickly. We can pick a lot from these trees."

Roselle is also called roselle. The shape of the flower is irregular and the calyx is purple-red or black-red.

The corolla is yellow-brown with linear stripes on the outer surface and yellow-brown at the base of the inner surface.

Although the flower is large in size, it is light in weight, has a shiny texture, a faint fragrance and a sour taste.

Roselle has the effects of strengthening the lungs and relieving cough, lowering blood pressure, and sobering up.

It is usually used to soak in water and taken. The water is mostly light purple in color, and the color will change depending on the amount.

Xu Wenyan quite likes the original sour taste of Roselle.

Nowadays, it is mostly used to make fruit tea, and Xu Wenyan thinks so too.

Anyway, it can be preserved for a long time after being dried. When the wild fruits come out in spring and summer, you can make fruit tea or flower tea with dried bitter orange and honey.

There are many types of scented tea, including rose, honeysuckle, jasmine, osmanthus, chrysanthemum, magnolia, etc.

Because the roselle flowers are light, many of them grow on one tree. In just a few minutes, the three people's backpacks were full.

After three or four trips back and forth, these Roselle flowers have been completely hollowed out.

Looking at the reeds and cattails in the distance, as long as the famine does not last too long.

You can eat just the roots and stems of these plants for a long, long time.

"Brother Chen, let's stay in the shelter for a day."

Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan and for some reason he felt a surge of heartache. Combined with what he heard on his mule cart today, Chen Sanlin always felt that Xu Wenyan had something on his mind.

"Okay, you can stay as long as you want."

"We have filled the quilts, so you can rest assured." said Zhan Laowu.

Xu Wenyan nodded: "Brother Chen and I have to go to the back mountain later, I will make lunch."
