Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 35

There is a pond beside the path leading into the mountain. It belongs to the village collective and is used for storing water for irrigation.

Some buffaloes that are not working are bathing in it.

"It's the Ma bamboo!" Jiang Suying looked at the big green bamboo in front of her, as well as the large green bamboo shoots. "There are quite a lot of bamboo shoots. I remember this bamboo forest seems to belong to our family, right, Xiaobin?"

"Yes! This area and the large area by the river all belong to ours." Jiang Xiubin said after hearing this.

Jiangjia Village is rich in bamboo. There are bamboo forests on both sides of the river and there are also many on the mountains.

A tree may be a thousand years old, but a bamboo may be ten thousand years old. Bamboo is a good thing.

Just like the autumn harvest now, not every household has sacks, but every household has more than a dozen loads of bamboo baskets and winnowing baskets.

Many families in the village also specialize in making these bamboo products and sell them in the mountains.

When Grandpa Jiang Xiaomi was still alive, he was one of the best at it.

"Xiaomi, what are you doing?" Jiang Xiubin suddenly saw Jiang Xiaomi using a sickle to chop bamboo shoots, one at a time.

The technique was so neat and efficient.

"Chop the bamboo shoots!" Jiang Xiaomi raised her knife and snatched away another bamboo shoot: "Didn't you say this is ours? Can't I chop our own things?"

Don’t mention it, chopping bamboo shoots is great for relieving stress!

"Crunch——" The crisp sound makes it taste delicious.

"I'm not talking about that. I'm saying that these bamboo shoots are not tasty. They are bitter and astringent. Wouldn't it be a waste if you cut them off? They can still grow if you leave them there."

"Are you still thinking about growing bamboo?" Jiang Xiaomi held up a knife and said, "It's going to rain heavily, brother. Why don't you bring more food home? What are you waiting for?"

"Let it rain. What can I do if it's going to rain? Our village is located on high ground, so it won't be flooded unless something unexpected happens." Jiang Xiubin was quite calm. "Besides, our family is well prepared, right? We bought so many things, enough for our family to eat until the rain stops, right?"

How could Jiang Xiubin not know that they were purchasing in the county!

He just doesn't know where his father and the others hid those things?

But so what? He doesn't have to worry about these things anyway.

Jiang Xiubin didn't know that after the floods there would be a series of natural disasters such as snowstorms and droughts. He simply thought that the sky would clear up after the heavy rain.

As long as you can get through this period smoothly, everything will be fine.

"Then go and play. I'm going to chop bamboo shoots." Jiang Xiaomi waved her hand, letting the child live in the fairy tale world for a little longer.

When the time comes, give him the bitter and astringent bamboo shoots.

Yo hey!

It’s fun to chop bamboo shoots!

One tree, two trees, three trees, and another tree!

"When we get back, ask Uncle Zhang to get some people to come and cut down the trees. Otherwise, even if we cut down hundreds of trees, we won't have the strength to put them back." Jiang Xiubin looked at the girl wielding a knife in front of him. She didn't match the sister in his memory. She was too fierce.

Those who knew her knew that she was Miss Jiang, while those who didn’t thought she was just a knife-wielding girl at the street corner.

Jiang Xiaomi paused and said, okay, she had had enough fun.

Jiang Suying smiled and said to her daughter, "Let's see if there are any herbs we can use in the mountains."

Other things can be handed over to others, but she still has to do the task of collecting herbs herself.

There are restrictions on buying medicine in the capital city, whether you are getting medicine according to a prescription or buying ready-made pills, especially medicines such as wound medicine. You can't just buy as much as you say, and they don't know the herbalists, so there are not many herbs and pills available for purchase.

Although the regulations in the county town were not as harsh as those in the provincial capital, they were also quite strict. With Jiang Yiyu's help, he could buy a little more. However, he contacted two herbalists, but the types of herbs they had were few and the quality was only mediocre.
