An orphan girl from a farming family: Everyday farming in the mountains during natural disasters

In addition to meat, there must be vegetables. In the morning, she picked some Chinese cabbage, washed it, and stir-fried it with lard into a dish of green vegetables.

Soak some dried cucumber slices, squeeze out the water, add salt, brown sugar and chili powder and mix.

All three dishes are ready.

The rice just scooped out was steaming hot and cooked white.

She hadn't eaten rice for a long time. She swallowed unconsciously as she looked at it. It was not so hot anymore, so she impatiently used chopsticks to scoop a mouthful of rice into her mouth.

Sweet and soft.

She narrowed her eyes and was so moved that she was about to cry.

"Wow, the rice I grow is so delicious!"

At noon today, Heihei had a very rich meal, including half a bowl of rice, a boiled rabbit with vegetables, and a bowl of rice soup.

After eating rice, Xia Qingyue picked up the cold rabbit with chopsticks. The rabbit meat was hot and absorbed the flavor of spices. It was covered with shiny red oil. The first bite tasted firm and spicy.

The flavor is not yet absorbed. If you want to eat the rabbit cold, you need to let it cool down. It will taste better if you let it sit for a longer time.

She specially killed a few rabbits. This dish is rich in oil and can be kept for two or three days without any problem. After eating the rabbit meat, the chili oil and chili peppers are even more delicious when mixed with noodles.

With this dish, I don’t have to cook meat in the next few days. It’s convenient and saves trouble.

After the busy farming season and the rice harvest, it was already early September. Her hair, which had been cut, had grown back a bit and now reached a little below her shoulders.

There is nothing to do for the time being. The firewood at home is almost gone, so I have to go out and get some more.

She really didn't expect that from April to September, not a drop of rain fell.

"I don't know what the situation is like outside, but the biggest benefit may be that it will be convenient for us to find firewood."

She thought that since she had to go out to find firewood, she might as well go and check on the Li family. She hadn't been there for a long time.

After thinking about it, she went to the cellar and carried back 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes and konjac.

When she opened the cave door, she was greeted by withered yellow grass that was taller than her. She walked a little forward and the straight grass pricked her and hurt her.

In the past, she often went out, so the grass at the entrance of the cave was not so dense. But after she hadn't been out for a while, the weeds grew wildly and became a mess.

She crawled out along the gable wall.

Heihei was leading the way. It was very excited after being out for such a long time. If she hadn't been calling it, it would have run away long ago.

On the way there, she found that she didn't meet anyone near where she lived. So she walked towards the river where the Li family lived, and began to meet people, in groups of three or five, both men and women.

Relying on Heihei's warning, she avoided those people, made a big circle and came to the cave where the Li family lived.

There was only a short distance left to go, Heihei pricked up his ears and stared in a certain direction in the woods.

This is another discovery.

"Heihei, come and hide with me." She found a patch of grass and walked over.

Not hearing Heihei catching up, she turned her head in confusion and saw it standing there without moving.

"Heihei, come here quickly!" She waved at Heihei anxiously.

Heihei ran over.

This is right.

A man, a dog and a cat hid in the haystack. After a while, they heard footsteps and voices talking.

As she listened, Xia Qingyue felt that the voices sounded familiar. She looked up quietly and found that it was Chen Yuzhen and the others!

She glanced around and saw that there was no one else around, so it was safe, so she showed up.

"Uncle, aunt!"

"Qingyue!"

"It's Sister Qingyue!"

Chen Yuzhen and others were very surprised and happy to see Xia Qingyue.

"Hurry, let's go back first." Li Benfu ran to open the cave door and let them go in first. He stayed there to keep watch and then went in last.

Entering the cave outside, Xia Qingyue found that the area here had expanded a lot, there were more furniture, the breath of life was overwhelming, and it looked very warm.

"Sister Qingyue, drink some water quickly." Li Weikan poured her a glass of water.

She took the bowl and held it in her hand. All the Li family members looked at her.

At the same time, she looked back at the Li family, with a gleam of joy in her eyes, "Uncle, I'm glad you're back safely."

Mr. and Mrs. Li Benfu look energetic and have rosy complexions.

Li Weikang, Li Weisheng, and Chen Dawei and his son have become darker and thinner, with obvious scars on their faces and backs of their hands. It can be seen that they have suffered a lot in Tianlang Village, but their mental state is still okay.

Li Benfu said, "Qingyue, thank you for your concern. I heard Yuzhen tell me about what happened later. How is it? Are you still short of water?"

"There's water." Feeling a little embarrassed by their fiery gazes, she picked up the bowl and drank the water.

"Sister Qingyue, you must be hungry. Let's go cook now." Li Weisheng said with a smile.

Li Weikang raised his hand and patted his brother's shoulder. "Let's go inside and prepare lunch. Sister Qingyue, please sit down for a while."

As soon as the two brothers left, Chen Dawei found out half a bowl of plump grapes from somewhere.

The grapes are not big and dark purple in color. They are wild grapes.

For Xia Qingyue, who hadn't eaten fruit for a long time, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva when she saw this.

"Qingyue, eat the grapes. These are what we found outside."

"Yes, Qingyue, eat it quickly, it tastes so sweet." Chen Yuzhen stuffed the bowl of grapes into Xia Qingyue's hands and said, "We have all eaten it."

Unable to refuse the kindness, Xia Qingyue took a grape, put the butt end to her mouth, pressed the grape skin with her hand, and put the juicy flesh into her mouth. After tasting the flavor, she raised her eyebrows.

acid.

Chen Yuzhen and the others looked at her with a smile, and she smiled back at them, "It's really good, very delicious."

She was sure they had not eaten the grapes before, they might have just been found and there were only a few of them.

"Uncle, aunt, please sit down, don't stand!"

After she said this, Li Benfu and his wife sat down next to Chen Dawei, and Chen Youmao, who was too timid to look at people, sat down.

During the conversation, Xia Qingyue learned the details of the night attack on Tianlang Village by Guan Jianshan and his gang.

After telling the thrilling story of that night, Li Benfu frowned and said something shocking: "Qingyue, Guan Jianshan's group are not ordinary people. They have killed people on the battlefield and are deserters under King Yun's command!"

"Deserter?" She widened her eyes in surprise.

No wonder that group of people looked different from ordinary people.

"Wait, the deserter of King Yun, then, then who is in charge of Xiangzhou now?"

"He is the former deposed crown prince, the fourth prince. Now he is the King of Yue."

Xia Qingyue took a deep breath and thought, so that's how it is.

The King of Yue occupied several major cities in the south of Dayuan. He was invincible and unstoppable. If he continued to develop like this, would he be able to unify all the cities and ascend the throne to become king?

In this way, there will be no war and the world will be peaceful, right?

Li Benfu and the others naturally thought of this as well.

Chen Yuzhen said: "Although this is possible, it may not be realized within one or two years."

Yes, the war will not end at least in the short term.

"By the way, we also met Tan Xiaozhu that time. She also escaped and did not die!"

Just as Li Benfu finished speaking, a clanging sound came from the corner.

Li Weisheng held his hands in the air, holding something. Under the dim light, his facial expression gradually became ferocious and hideous.

There was a wooden basin rolling around at his feet, making a slight clanging sound.
