In the book, I was fed by my sister

Wild ginseng is not easy to find. You may not be lucky enough to find one even if you wander around the mountain all day. That place not far from the foot of the mountain is where people often go to chop wood, but even pheasants don't roam there.

Now, in this place, ginseng actually grows! Cheng Xiuwen and Li Xingxing reached an agreement almost without hesitation:

The fewer people who know about this, the better. There is no time to lose, take action immediately!

Yu'e suddenly felt something was wrong, wondering if they had let something slip! Since the news had already spread, she had to let her grandfather know! Her family couldn't let this happen.

She was about to run away, but Cheng Xiuwen grabbed her and said, "Girl, come with me. I'll take you to my house later and give you all the delicious and fun things in my house."

Li Xingxing also encouraged her sister: "Rongrong, hold Lizhi's hand tightly, and let's go to the mountains to play together later."

Song Li raised her eyes and her gaze fell on Rongrong's brother.

She was now in the body of a young child, but she witnessed the greed in the eyes of those adults who were called "tall".

She couldn't help but recall the time after her sister left. At that time, she was too young and unable to protect herself, and no team was willing to take her in. In the end, she could only survive in those cannibalistic teams, serving as their backup food, living in endless fear.

Just as she was immersed in the memories of the past, a warm little hand gently rested on her wrist, accompanied by a hint of apology. Rongrong said hesitantly: "I think I said something wrong, I'm sorry."

Song Li didn't blame him. A child of his age would speak out what was hidden in his heart if provoked by others. She just blamed herself for overestimating herself and putting such things on the table.

Then, the six of them started walking up the mountain. The adults thought they were walking too slowly, so they picked up the children. Finally, they arrived at the place the children had mentioned.

From this place, the village can be seen at a glance. Their blood began to boil and they began to search busily.

From excitement to confusion, to anger.

"Girls! Think about it again!"

"It's right here!" Rongrong and the other girl said in unison.

Li Xingxing came and sat down to wipe his sweat. Children don't lie. It was probably true that there was only one ginseng.

"What about the top part? Where did you put it?"

Rongrong and Yu'e looked at each other, their little brains couldn't think of a solution, and they were even more afraid that what the two people said was inconsistent.

Rongrong spoke first: "I, I don't know."

Yu'e heard her say this and followed suit: "Me too."

This made Li Xingxing and the others even angrier, thinking that the two of them were playing tricks on them. But they couldn't do anything to the two little kids, so they could only hold their breath and continue searching.

Song Li replied: "It's still in the soil of my home."

Upon hearing this, the two men rushed down the mountain without stopping.

As soon as we got to the foot of the mountain, we saw the adults of other children looking for Song Li. When the adults of several children heard their children crying and came back, they saw that they were covered in mud and asked which child they had fought with! Several people came out to seek justice for their children and met one after another on the road.

"Look at this. Last year, Xuechuan and his gang from Guifang's family were also beaten by that girl. It was really shameful that they couldn't win when there were more than one of them." As they were talking, they saw Cheng Xiuwen and others coming over.

Cheng Xiuwen and Li Xingxing looked at each other, and Cheng Xiuwen stepped forward and said with a smile, "It seems that we have encountered the same thing. I just asked my family about it. These children went to the Song family's land to destroy it. The little girl was naturally angry when she saw it, and she stepped forward to argue. It's our own children who are wrong."

Hearing this, the other parents showed embarrassment on their faces. They looked at the Song family's ruined land and secretly felt lucky that nothing was planted.

One of the parents said with emotion: "This girl is incredible! She looked so sick before, but now she is the most aggressive among the children in the village."

Song Li stood aside, a small, harmless person, quietly listening to these words. Unexpectedly, Guan Zi's mother spoke on her behalf in order to get rid of these people.

Cheng Xiuwen chatted with other parents for a while, and then after the others gradually dispersed, Cheng Xiuwen walked to the Song family's land and began to search carefully.

"It's true!" Li Xingxing exclaimed in surprise.

Cheng Xiuwen also hurried over to check, but soon her expression turned depressed: "It's rotten!" Their hearts instantly sank to the bottom, as if they were doused with cold water. It was really a pity that such a big ginseng was rotten in the ground.

Yu'e leaned close to Song Li's ear and asked, "When was it buried in the ground?"

"I guess it fell into the dirt when I was fighting."

"I remember it was fine, how come it rotted so quickly?"

"Maybe Li Guan and the others stepped on him."

"Then do we still have to go to the mountains to look for it?"

"No, I don't have that luck anymore. Let's think about ways to make money. We'll take our time."

Li Xingxing looked at Rongrong and said seriously, "If you see wild ginseng in the future, you must take it home. Look how wasteful you are."

Li Rongrong pouted and muttered aggrievedly, "We found this together. How can I make the decision alone?"

Li Xingxing widened her eyes and taught her in a serious tone: "Stupid! Then you can discuss it with them and then divide it equally, wouldn't that be fine?"

"No! This is everyone's thing, and everyone should have the final say on how to deal with it. Humph! You're so annoying! I don't want to talk to you today!" After saying that, Rongrong turned her head away angrily, ran to Yu'e and Song Li, and chatted with them.

The three of them went to the hall to play together, but since there were too few people, even the game of hide-and-seek became boring.

"Li!" Song Li, who was playing in the sand, heard someone calling her name, so she looked up and saw it was Da Mai. Da Mai was holding a string of red candied haws in his hand, and was walking towards her leisurely.

Damai can now communicate normally, but he has to speak a few words at a time.

Since the last snowstorm, Grandma Gu's legs and feet have become less agile and she can only sit on a chair to weave bamboo baskets every day. The task of going to the city to sell these bamboo baskets fell on Da Mai.

Song Li took the candied haws handed to her by Damai. There were five of them on a stick. She pulled them off and distributed them to everyone.

"Wow, so sweet!" Yu'e seldom eats candied haws. There are many people in her family and it is impossible for her grandfather to buy one for everyone. If he buys too little, there won't be enough to share, so no one would just eat it.

Song Li asked Da Mai curiously, "Did you sell all the bamboo baskets? Did you use the money from selling the bamboo baskets to buy these candied haws?"

Da Mai nodded and waved her hands to indicate that she didn't mean that. She tried to organize her words, "The bamboo basket... take it, sister. The money is mine."

Song Li nodded, not quite understanding, to show that she understood. In fact, she didn't fully understand what Da Mai wanted to say, but she knew that if she continued to ask, Da Mai would only become more and more anxious.

She saw that Barley was holding a bowl, so she asked, "What's in that bowl?"

Barley lowered his hand, revealing the gray water.

"What is this? Can we eat it?" Rongrong and the other girl also came forward.

Barley shook his head: "Brine."

Rongrong asked in confusion: "What is that? Sister Xiaoxiao is making stewed food?"

Da Mai was stunned for a moment. Xiaoxiao just asked her to bring it back to Song Ran and said it was poisonous and could not be eaten, but did not say what it was used for.

Song Li said, "I remembered! Should I give it to my sister?"

Barley nodded.

"It's for making tofu. Looks like we'll have tofu tonight." Song Li remembered eating it twice in winter. Two days ago, she and her sister talked about grinding tofu to eat. "Come to my house in the afternoon and I'll give you some soy milk to drink."

Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement, thinking that she was really lucky to have the chance to drink soy milk. Grinding tofu is a laborious process, so her mother didn't like to do it.

"You came early so you can see the donkey pulling the mill. It's fun. You just use some grass to lead it and it will follow you."
