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

The two men worked hard for more than an hour and only dug up five plants, a total of fifteen of various sizes.

The two men were so tired that they sat on the ground and dug, and their backs could not be straightened.

"Brother, let's go call someone. We are too inefficient."

"Okay, let Dad and the others bring the tools to dig. It's so tiring."

The two men carried their backpacks and walked down the mountain, preparing to give their family a surprise.

"Grandpa and grandma, we are back. Look what we brought back."

"You're back. What took you so long? You just said your father would pick you up." Li asked with concern.

"Grandma, look at the sweet potatoes we found. There are still a lot of them. We don't have to starve anymore."

"Let me see what this is. Is it edible? I've never eaten it before. It's not poisonous, is it?"

"Grandma, this is sweet potato, it's not poisonous, my brother and I ate it."

"Really? Are there many over there?"

"It's a big area. Go get some people to dig it up."

"Thank God, there is always a way out. Finally, there is some hope. Old man, while it's still early, hurry up and call for people to start digging.

Old man Ye was also very excited. He took his sons and grandsons and the farm tools at home, talked to the village head, and started digging.

Ye Qing taught Zhou how to cook sweet potatoes at home. He washed the sweet potatoes, cut them into small pieces, and put them in the pot to cook. He also grabbed a handful of brown rice, and soon a sweet fragrance wafted out.

The Ye family members who stayed in the team tasted it and were conquered by the glutinous taste. They quickly finished the porridge in the bowl, took their baskets, and went to the mountain to dig sweet potatoes.

When Ye Qing arrived at the mountain, everyone was working enthusiastically. They dug about four or five hundred kilograms of dug from the hillside. Each family could get more than ten kilograms, and if they ate sparingly, they could last for half a month.

When it was completely dark, the villagers were willing to go down the mountain. Carrying heavy loads of sweet potatoes, everyone was happy.

This is no longer just ordinary food, it is the life of the villagers. The elderly in the village have not eaten much in the past two days, and they want to save some for their children at home.

I cooked it when I got home, and the old people could have a bite, and their lives would be saved. Unless it was absolutely necessary, who would be willing to save a bite of food for the old people at home?

The camp was lively and full of energy and vitality. The children also changed their usual behavior and gathered around the pot, laughing and making noises.

The others were also discussing going to the mountain to look for it tomorrow and dig out as much as possible and take it away.

The porridge was ready, and the sweet aroma floated over the convoy. The villagers hadn't tasted sweetness for a long time, and their dreams were filled with sweetness.

The next morning, before the sun rose, everyone had already carried their backpacks to the mountain to dig sweet potatoes.

The children were also running all over the mountains, marking the sweet potato vines they saw and waiting for others to come and dig them up.

Ye Qing knew more and could find some missed places. The leaves and vines had been taken away by others, but there were actually still sweet potatoes underneath.

It took the villagers three days to dig through the entire mountain.

Each family was given more than 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes, but the villagers were worried that the weather was too hot and the sweet potatoes would go bad if left for a few days. So the whole village cut the sweet potatoes together, and in such a strong sun, they could be dried in one day.

"Qingya, should we cut the sweet potato slices thicker or thinner?"

"Cut the milk thicker. Although it will take longer to dry, it won't break when it's dried."

Soon the whole mountain was covered with sweet potatoes. The men in the village did not go out and all stayed on the mountain. Although this place was very remote, there was a possibility that other people would come.

The children were chasing the birds back and forth, while some of them took baskets, put a few grains of brown rice in them, caught birds and roasted them to eat.

Although birds have little meat, they are still a kind of meat and can satisfy children's cravings.

Ye Qing also followed a few cousins ​​to catch birds. His cousins ​​grew up in the mountains and were very skilled in catching birds.

After a while, they caught more than a dozen of them and roasted them over a fire on the mountain.

The sweet potatoes were dried and the weight was much lighter, so the team set off again.

Everyone rested during the day and traveled at night, trying to avoid crowded places. Although there were many people here, including many children and the elderly, they were afraid of encountering a large group of disaster victims.

The food in the house is given to the young people first, as these young and strong people are the main workers.

If they meet any suspicious people on the road, they need to drive them away.

Let the young people eat until they are 70% full, and everyone else should try to eat less, so that the food will be consumed quickly.

Ye Qing and his companions were walking on the road that day, and they watched from a distance as a group of people looted several carriages. When they saw the group of people from Kaoshan Village approaching, they dispersed with the food they had looted in their hands.

When Ye Qing and his group reached the carriage, they saw that the horse was gone and there was no one in the carriage. It was obvious that it had been thrown away by a wealthy family when they were in danger.

The carriage was too heavy, and they had no horses to pull it. The carriage had been looted clean, and the people from the village near the mountain just went up to take a look and then gave up.

Ye Qing was small, and he also climbed onto the carriage. Everyone thought he was just a kid who got on there for fun.

Ye Qing had the same idea. He was small in size and a small target. This kind of carriage usually had secret compartments, and the good things were hidden in the secret compartments.

Ye Qing fumbled for a while before he found one at the lower side. There were snacks inside. It had been a while since it was placed, so Ye Qing didn't mind and put it directly into his arms.

Ye Qing fumbled around for a while before finding another one. This car was occupied by female relatives. There were two wooden boxes inside, which were full of gold and silver jewelry.

"Qingya, stop playing, let's go, everyone has gone far away."

"Hey here bro."

Ye Qing also put the two boxes in his arms. Fortunately, Ye Qing was thin and the clothes he was wearing were altered by Zhou, so he could hold three boxes. The boxes were also small, and outsiders could not tell that there were things in them.

Ye Qing jumped off the carriage nimbly. Ye Dalang carried her to the wheelbarrow and pushed her to catch up with her family.

Ye Qing hid something on her body and stopped saying she was leaving. When she had a break, she gave the jewelry to her family members to keep, and she felt relieved.

After walking for another two hours, they finally stopped to rest. Ye Qing secretly gave a jewelry box to Zhou, who did not make a sound and quietly put it in the bag where she kept her clothes.

Ye Qing then took the box of cakes and the jewelry box and found Li.

"Grandma, I just found this in the carriage, please keep it." Ye Qing said in a low voice.

Li looked around and saw that everyone was busy cooking and didn't notice them, so she took it and put it away.

"Good boy, don't tell anyone else. I'll buy you some candy from now on."

"Grandma, I won't tell you. We'll use it to build a house later."

Li looked at Ye Qing with a smile, "Qingya is so good, you are still thinking about home, go and play."

Ye Qing had rested along the way and was not tired at all this time. He picked up the basket and started looking for food around.

Ye Qing looked at the dry trees and felt uncomfortable. How long would it take to escape?

Ye Qing leaned against the tree to rest, thinking about where to find food, his hands unconsciously scratching the bark. Ye Qing looked at a worm hole on the bark, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
