Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

"Fubao, kid, slow down."

Seeing her daughter running ahead, Zhang Yanzi became extremely worried and hurriedly followed.

The sound of the three people walking scared away the rat that was drinking water.

"Mom, look, there are so many wild vegetables." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't stop until Jiang Fubao shouted in surprise from somewhere.

The two men pushed aside the weeds and walked over.

There was actually a small pit there.

Very shallow.

It's like a washbasin buried in the ground.

The pit was surrounded by wild vegetables.

"Oh, this is Artemisia annua!! Chop it into small pieces, rub it with coarse flour, add some lard and make it into a pancake. It smells so good! It's a pity that there are so few of them, so it's hard to find them. I didn't expect there are so many here. Come on, Swallow, pick the vegetables quickly."

Zhang Jinlan didn’t care about the ferocious beasts at all. She forgot about them the moment she saw the wild vegetables.

Her eyes lit up, she squatted on the ground, raised her hands and started grabbing Kuku.

Even the hand left an afterimage.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very fast.

After a while, the wild vegetables occupied one third of the backpack.

Jiang Fubao discovered that the wild vegetable called Artemisia annua by her grandmother was different from what she had imagined.

It is not the Artemisia annua from which artemisinin can be extracted.

But it is ordinary wormwood.

It is indeed an imaginary world, the names of wild vegetables are different.

Seeing that they were focused, Jiang Fubao strolled around slowly by himself.

Just now she carefully examined the puddle and found a black hole as big as a pipe from which water was leaking.

The water level stopped rising only when the pit was just filled up, and did not overflow, just like an automatic water-replenishing machine.

It's amazing.

So in this place, there is water under the soil, so the trees grow lushly and there are also a lot of weeds and wild vegetables.

Fortunately, it is in the inner circle.

Otherwise, the villagers would have discovered it long ago.

There are no wild vegetables.

No weeds will remain.

Like a swarm of locusts.

Jiang Fubao complained in his heart.

Along the way, the bare ground speaks for itself.

[Oh oh——my claws hurt so much. 】

suddenly.

Jiang Fubao heard the sound of birds not far ahead.

Judging from the sound in his heart, it seems that his claws were injured.

Still a male.

It is probably a big bird. It will taste good whether you roast it or stew it in soup.

But she was too weak.

Can't catch.

Jiang Fubao returned to the puddle and said to Zhang Jinlan, "Grandma, I heard some noise over there, it sounded like a bird. Let's go and see if there are any bird eggs." She concealed the fact that the bird was injured.

After all, it can't be explained.

"Bird? Yan Zi, you stay here and pick some vegetables. Fu Bao and I will go over and take a look."

Bird eggs are much more tempting than wild vegetables.

Zhang Jinlan took her granddaughter along the way with anticipation on her face.

After walking through the bushes, they saw a wild pheasant under a tree.

Its claws were bleeding and it was thrashing back and forth in place.

Wild pheasants don't fly high, but they run extremely fast and are difficult to catch.

Zhang Jinlan smiled so much that her upper lip didn’t touch her lower lip.

"Fubao, just stand here and don't move. Grandma will go catch wild pheasants." She lowered her voice and Jiang Fubao nodded.

She wouldn't cause trouble at such an important moment.

I thought it was some big bird.

It turned out to be a pheasant.

What a strange cry.

But the feathers of this wild pheasant are so beautiful, so colorful.

The tail has patterns and is very long, like a phoenix feather.

It looks like she is wearing a pearl necklace around her neck.

Just as Jiang Fubao was quietly admiring the pheasant.

Zhang Jinlan rushed towards the tree in one quick step. The pheasant sensed the danger, flapped its wings, and flew to a height of more than two meters, but it did not last long before its body fell down.

A chicken is a chicken after all.

Different from birds.

It can never truly fly.

Just as it tried to fly again, Zhang Jinlan grabbed its wings.

【Ohhhh, let me go, you stinky human! 】

"Oh oh oh-"

The inner voice mixed with the crowing of a rooster reached Jiang Fubao's ears.

"A-nanny is awesome! We caught a wild pheasant. I want to drink chicken soup and eat chicken!"

Jiang Fubao was very happy.

"Okay, since Fubao wants to eat it, then we won't sell the pheasant and let Fubao eat it!" Zhang Jinlan originally wanted her son to take it to town and sell it.

I heard my granddaughter wanted chicken soup.

She didn't hesitate for a second.

I agreed immediately.

Half an hour later.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren went down the mountain.

The pheasants were hidden in a backpack and covered with wild vegetables.

For fear of encountering villagers, some chopped dead firewood was placed on top of the wild vegetables.

"Hey, sister Jinlan, are you coming down the mountain? What's in your backpack? Are they wild vegetables? Tell me where to find them. My family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat. I spent the whole morning searching and only found three wild vegetables. These are barely enough to fill my stomach. My grandchildren must be so hungry that they have no flesh left on their faces."

As soon as I got out of the mountain path, I ran into the village widow Ma Qingmei.

Her deceased husband's surname was also Jiang.

The two families are of the same clan.

For fear of mentioning her sad past, the villagers never called her by her husband's surname but her full name.

She gave birth to four sons, plus grandchildren.

There are twenty people in the family.

More than the Jiang family.

Ma Qingmei saw Zhang Jinlan and the other two.

His eyes rolled around.

Pretend to be pitiful.

"How could that be possible? They are all dead firewood. Oh, it's so difficult. My Yamato took his brother and sons to the town to find work. Our family is so poor that we can't even afford brown rice porridge. I searched for the whole morning but there was no sign of wild vegetables. I had no choice but to come back. I can't go back empty-handed.

There is no one at home to chop wood, so I thought I could just pick up some dead wood to burn. If that doesn't work, I can just boil some water and add some salt to fill my stomach. Sister Qingmei, you are so lucky that you can dig up wild vegetables, unlike me, which are very moldy."

Zhang Jinlan is not stupid.

She interrupted Ma Qingmei.

Pretending to be even more pitiful than her.

It seems to be saying, at least you have three wild vegetables to eat.

And I can only drink water to fill my stomach.

This made Ma Qingmei's face turn red and green.

"Okay, I'm going home to boil some water. I didn't even have breakfast, and I'm so hungry that I'm seeing stars. I'm leaving, Sister Qingmei."

Zhang Jinlan was too lazy to talk to her any more.

After saying hello, he left with his daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

"Bah! What the hell, do you think I'm stupid? I heard some noise in the basket, maybe they caught some bird. You're so stingy, you didn't even tell me a wild vegetable when I asked. Eat it, or at least eat a poisonous bird to kill your whole family!"

Ma Qingmei spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at the backs of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.

He cursed a few words under his breath and walked away with his butt twisted.

"This widow Ma is getting worse day by day. Her scheming is all over her face. She thinks everyone else is stupid and she is the only smart one. She has lived in vain at her old age."

After they walked away, Zhang Jinlan turned around and glared at Ma Qingmei's back.

"Mom, you guys are finally back. Did you dig up any wild vegetables?"

As soon as she entered the house, Sun Pingmei asked impatiently.

"I dug it up. What about you?"

Zhang Jinlan put down the backpack and asked back.

"No, not a single hair was seen, it was all weeds, eh."
