After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

"The little girl is so cruel. How much can children eat? If you eat a few bites less, you can save their lives." The group of men nearby cheered.

Ye Qing said in a cold tone: "I can see that you are together. You eat so much and your face is full of red light, but you can't even raise a child." After saying that, he supported Old Man Ye and was about to leave.

At this moment, a knife flew over and stabbed directly in front of Ye Qing, just a few centimeters away from piercing his foot.

"Who told you to leave? If you have food, eat it yourself. Aren't you selfish? Hand it over and we will help you eat some." A man with a scar said fiercely.

"Everyone has nothing to eat, can we just borrow it?" another man also said pitifully.

Ye Qing looked at the knife in front of him, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes. "This is what you mean by borrowing. Take the knife and borrow it."

A few more people came out of the crowd, all holding knives in their hands.

Other people in the village also noticed the situation here and came over with sickles in their hands.

Uncle Zhou pulled Ye Qing behind him, and Boss Ye and his men also came over and scolded the group of people: "Get out of here, where can I lend you food? If you don't leave, I'll take action."

"Brothers are asking you to borrow food to give you face. Don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit."

Ye Qing pulled the slingshot in his hand, "Life or food, it's your choice."

"Oh, little girl, you're quite arrogant. It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you don't know how powerful the Horse King is." He stretched out his hand, and the knife returned to his hand. It looked like he had some kung fu experience.

"Everyone else, get out of here. This is none of your business. Leave now."

After the shouting, no one in Kaoshan Village moved. Instead, it alarmed the people behind, and several people came over with wooden sticks.

"Brothers, come on, there must be food in their car, we will get it and have a good meal later."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing hit the man who was talking nonsense directly on the mouth, knocking out one of his front teeth.

The people from Kaoshan Village were not idle either. They gathered around and, based on the tacit understanding they had developed from hunting wolves, they automatically divided into several groups.

Ye Qing focused on hitting their legs, and each stone made a hole. Soon, the group of people on the opposite side were all injured.

There were many people here, and they all fell to the ground in a few breaths. The leader struggled to get up, kneeling on the ground and begging: "We are blind and have offended you all. Please forgive us and let us go."

"Weren't you very arrogant just now? Why are you so cowardly now?" said a young man from Kaoshan Village disdainfully.

The village head glared at the young man who spoke up, and said to the group, "I will not offend others unless they offend me. Today, you were the first to speak rudely, so we took action. It is not easy to survive in a disaster year, so please be kind."

"We will never dare to do it again. We will behave ourselves properly in the future."

The village head continued, "Let's be merciful. Go away and don't let us see you again."

"Thank you for your magnanimity, sirs. We will do more good deeds in the future and never bully others again." After saying that, he kowtowed a few more times before getting up and running away.

The people around looked at the fierce people from Kaoshan Village and quietly moved away. Some people who had ulterior motives did not dare to follow them.

"You did a good job today. This is how we should do it. Only when we are united, outsiders will not dare to bully us. Now go away and go back to rest early." The head of the village waved his hand to drive them away.

The villagers also dispersed and went back to eat something and sleep a little longer.

The group walked for more than a month, but there was still no rain and the weather was still very hot. It was almost the beginning of winter, but everyone was still wearing summer clothes.

More and more people fell down on the road, and the food in the village became less and less. The villagers only had thin porridge for one meal a day.

There were no green wild vegetables on the road anymore, only some withered yellow weeds.

People are no longer picky. They mix tree roots, grass roots, and tree bark with brown rice grains, cook them and eat them, and they can still fill you up to about 50% full.

The time they stopped on the road increased, and all the villagers went out to look for food.

But there were too many people looking for food on the roadside, so I could only try to walk up the mountain, where I could find more food.

Ye Qing's lips were cracked and she leaned against a tree to rest. She had been walking for an hour today but hadn't found anything to eat.

Ye Qing was already in despair and missed his previous life terribly. He thought about how he used to throw away the bottle of mineral water he hadn't finished drinking after just one night. Now thinking about it, it was such a luxury.

"Qingya, are you okay? Do you want me to carry you down?" Ye Dalang looked at Ye Qing with a little concern.

"No need bro, I'm fine, I'm just tired, let me rest here for a while."

"That's good. I picked up some vines and we have ropes to tie the car up."

"What kind of vine is this? Is it strong?" Ye Qing asked as he walked over here.

Ye Qing picked up the vine and took a look at it. It was a little withered and yellow, but it looked very familiar.

A little unsure, I looked at it carefully, then picked it up and smelled it.

"Brother, where did you find this? Take me to see it."

"Qingya, I picked up several. If you want them, I'll give you two. It's a bit far, so you don't need to go any further."

"Brother, this looks a bit like a kind of food I know. Let's go take a look."

"Qingya, you can't eat this. It's dry inside and you can't chew it."

"Brother, please take me to have a look. Even if we can't eat it, we can still find something else to eat on the way."

Ye Dalang looked at Ye Qing lovingly and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see it."

Ye Qing walked along the mountain road for half an hour before reaching that place. There was a gentle slope with many dried grass vines on it.

Ye Qing walked over quickly, lay on the ground, and used the branches he picked up to dig the soil under the vines. The ground was too hard, and it took a lot of effort to dig a little deeper.

Ye Qing was a little surprised when he saw the red stems below. It was just as he thought, sweet potato.

Because of the drought, the sweet potatoes did not grow well and were only the size of eggs, but there were grass vines all over the area, so there should be sweet potatoes underneath.

Ah~ah~

Ye Qing shouted happily a few times. So many villagers would not have to go hungry and could hold on for a while.

"Qingya, what's wrong?" Ye Dalang's anxious voice came over.

"Brother, I found sweet potatoes, a lot of them. We don't have to go hungry anymore." Ye Qing's cheerful voice came over.

Ye Qing continued digging, and three or four sweet potatoes grew on one root.

Ye Qing rubbed the dirt off and started to eat one. It was sweet and soft and delicious.

Ye Qing gave the one in his hand to Ye Dalang again. Ye Dalang imitated Ye Qing and took a bite. He was pleasantly surprised to find that it was really edible and delicious.

"Qingya, let's dig some more and take them back to eat. How else can we eat this? How long can it be kept?"

"This is a good thing. It can be cooked or roasted, and it can be kept for a long time. If you are worried that it will not keep well, you can cut it into slices, dry it, and cook it."

Ye Chenchuan didn't bother to talk anymore and started digging with a branch.
