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

The weather was getting warmer, Ye Qing had taken off his cotton-padded clothes, and the willow trees had sprouted.

The victims on the road are also much more energetic. Wild vegetables have sprouted on the roadside, and they can still fill their stomachs by spending some time every day.

Ye Qing and his group also reduced the time they spent walking on the road. The villagers would spend an hour every day digging wild vegetables and mixing them with dried sweet potatoes. After Ye Qing ate them for a few days, he gained a little weight.

The wild boar meat was all eaten, and the children at home were drooling as they looked at the birds in the sky.

That evening, a group of people from Kaoshan Village stopped by a river to rest. They had inquired on the way and learned that it would take two days to reach Wu'an City.

Ye Qing was very happy, he could finally rest. Ye Qing had already thought about it, when he arrived in Wu'an City, he would first find a place to have a good meal, then find a place to stay and have a good sleep.

Ye Qing looked at the river beside him, then raised his hand and smelled the smell on his body. He had been wearing these clothes for almost half a month and had no place to wash them. He couldn't bear to go into Wu'an City like this.

Ye Qing took the basin from home and went to the river to fetch water. After dinner, he would boil some hot water and wash his body.

Ye Qing rubbed the dust off his body, and a mud ball appeared in a few seconds. He hadn't washed himself since he came out of the cellar.

Ye Qing first washed his hands and face by the river. When he was about to fetch water with a basin, he was attracted by a fish in the river. The fish weighed about four or five kilograms, enough for his family to eat.

"Dad, Dad, come quickly, there are fish here, come and catch them." Ye Qing could no longer control himself and wished he could jump down and catch one.

"Where is Qing Yayu?" Boss Ye ran over holding a wooden stick.

There is a river next to Kaoshan Village. The children in the village grow up in the river in the summer and have learned to catch fish since childhood.

"There, it was right there just now. It weighs about four or five kilograms." Ye Qing pointed to where the fish was.

Ye Qing's shouting alarmed the other people in the village, and everyone came over with sharpened sticks. The river was very wide and there were many fish in it.

Boss Ye turned around and made a gesture to Ye Qing to keep quiet, then walked towards the river.

Boss Ye took a few steps until the water level reached above his knees. He then stood still, raised the wooden stick in his hand, pointed the tip at the water surface, and carefully watched where the fish was swimming.

After a while, he found a fish swimming over, and Boss Ye dived into the water hard.

Then he threw the stick towards the shore, and a mullet landed on the shore. Mullet is good for nourishing the body, and both the elderly and children at home can drink fish soup.

Ye Qing looked at Boss Ye with envy, wondering when he would be able to learn it. Lin Wenxuan was much more direct, and walked over with a sharpened branch.

"Uncle Ye, can you teach me how to catch fish? I also want to nourish grandpa's body."

"Okay, you are such a filial child. Come here and I will teach you."

Lin Wenxuan had learned martial arts for two years, and often followed his grandfather up the mountain to collect herbs. He was very agile and soon mastered the technique of catching fish. Boss Ye liked this child more and more.

Others in the village could no longer sit still and went into the river. Ye Lao Er did not go into the river. He first picked up the mullet he had just caught, scraped its scales and removed its gills, all in one go. Shen took it and put it in the pot to stew. Soon the fish aroma wafted through.

Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao San caught a few more crucian carps and stopped only after they thought they were enough for the family to have two meals.

Other families in the village also caught a few. Despite his young age, Lin Wenxuan also caught a crucian carp.

The air above the convoy at night was filled with the aroma of fish.

Ye Qing boiled some water, and Zhou used curtains to enclose an area, and three cars were placed outside. Only then did Ye Qing take a hot bath inside.

The fire on the stove never went out. The women in the house washed their clothes and then lay down to sleep.

The villagers decided to stay for another day as they would soon arrive at Wu'an City. They had not yet decided where to live. There was water here, so they washed everything that could be washed at home first. Everything in the city would cost money.

Ye Qing accompanied Zhou to wash clothes by the river. After washing the clothes, they were hung directly on the tree by the river, and then took out the quilt to wash.

While fleeing the famine, everyone just laid down on the ground to rest. The quilts were covered with dirt and the color of the quilts could not be seen.

The quilt was full of cotton, and it became very heavy when wet, so Ye Qing helped Zhou wring out the water. He also brought over all the pots and pans at home and soaked them in water for a while before washing them clean.

On the road to escape the famine, there were disaster victims everywhere and no water to take a bath. My hair felt itchy and upon closer inspection, I found that I had head lice.

Ye Qing boiled mugwort water, and everyone in the family washed their hair with it, and it got much better. Doctor Lin also gave them a prescription, and when they had time, they would go dig herbs, and the head lice would be gone.

"Uncle San, we have enough fish at home. There's no need to catch any more. The water is still a little cold. Come up quickly."

"Qingya, it's okay. I'll catch a few and sell them in Wu'an city. I can get some money in exchange." Uncle Ye is very smart. He thinks about making money when he sees the fish.

Ye Qing looked at Uncle Ye with admiration. As expected of a businessman, he could find business opportunities everywhere.

Lin Wenxuan was also trying hard to catch fish with a sharp branch. Grandpa drank the fish soup made yesterday and slept a little more deeply at night.

The Lin family's grandfather and grandson were separated from their family. He was the youngest in the family, with two older brothers. Doctor Lin had only one son, who married Liu and had three sons.

The Lin family did not leave with the others. They left early and had two cows at home, so they walked easily. Unfortunately, they encountered a riot by the disaster victims. When they were escaping, Lin Wenxuan fell off the car. Doctor Lin was eager to save Sun, so he also jumped off.

When the disaster victims dispersed, the grandfather and grandson went back to look for their family, but they were no longer there.

Fortunately, both of them had food with them. They dug wild vegetables during the day and traveled at night, while also having to be on guard against other people.

When the two heard that there was food in Wu'an City, they followed the group of disaster victims there, but their food, old and young, was robbed after the first snow.

Fortunately, they met Ye Qing and his sister, so they did not freeze to death in the snow.

The two men had no money on them and had to rely on villagers for food. They hadn't eaten meat for half a year.

Now that we encounter fish, we should catch as many as we can. If we dry them, we can eat them for two more days.

Once they reach Wu'an City, Doctor Lin will be able to practice medicine and earn money. They only need to hold on for a few more days.

Doctor Lin was very pleased when he saw his little grandson concentrating on catching fish in the river. Among the three grandsons in the family, this one was his favorite.

He had studied medicine with me since he was a child and had also studied in school for several years. He was often praised by his teacher. Whether the Lin family could change its fortunes depended on this grandson.

Ye Qing also wanted to go in the water to catch fish, but the weather was still a little cold, the water was still very cool, and Zhou was watching him closely, so he didn't go in.

Everyone in the village had finished washing and drying their clothes when the headman urged them to set off. There were still more than a hundred miles to Wu'an City, and everyone was very nervous.
