Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

"Sister, what are you thinking about?"

Wang also pricked up her ears.

Liu Siyu came back to her senses and said, "I was imagining the delicious food made by Ziguo."

She chatted casually without blushing or beating her heart.

It’s better not to publicize it until the hand cream is made.

First, he didn't want outsiders to know, and second, the change couldn't be too obvious all of a sudden, which would arouse suspicion from Wang's mother and son.

The most important thing is that I have no money now, and it is not easy to get these medicinal materials together.

Wang obviously didn't believe her words, thinking that she was just being stubborn and actually couldn't let go of Zhang Zhiyuan.

Liu Sihan was much simpler, her bright eyes were filled with joy.

I confirmed again: "Sister, can acorns really make delicious food?"

"Yeah," Liu Siyu nodded affirmatively.

They were looking forward to the delicious acorns here, but they didn't know that there was an uproar outside.

By the creek, Mrs. Zhang was exaggerating the story of how Liu Siyu was carried back by a boy from Xinghua Village.

When he got excited, he smashed the hammer hard on the stone slab.

"Oh, you didn't see it. The two of them were flirting in front of Wang and me. I don't know how they would be intimate behind others' backs!"

Another skinny woman, Wang Cuihua, rolled her eyes with a malicious look on her face.

She didn't have any good feelings towards Liu Siyu at all. She was obviously a country girl, but she acted like a lady from a wealthy family all day long and looked down on others.

Today she finally got the chance, and if she didn't say a few bad words to her, she would be doing a disservice to her.

"This girl from the Liu family is really capable. On one hand, she is flirting with Zhiyuan, and on the other hand, she is hooking up with the people from Xinghua Village. She really has the best of both worlds."

"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. With parents like that, how can a daughter be good?"

Another woman, Niu Pangya, also agreed.

"You've hit the nail on the head. His father hooked up with the daughter of a wealthy man, married a stepmother, and then hooked up with a hunter. There isn't a single decent person in this family, bah..."

He spat fiercely as he said this.

Mrs. Zhang was secretly proud to see that she had stirred up these people's emotions.

Continue to build the fire path.

"Zhiyuan is the only scholar in our village. He is just too kind, otherwise how could he be seduced by such a seductive woman."

Others echoed.

The three people in the room were completely unaware of the situation. Liu Siyu and Wang took up the gauze and rubbed it repeatedly, and kept rinsing it with water.

After filtering through gauze, the smooth acorn powder flows into the basin with the water, and finally only a large mass of residue remains in the gauze.

Seeing that the work was done, Liu Siyu said happily: "Leave the stale water here overnight, and pour out the clean water on top tomorrow, and you will be able to see the acorn surface."

Wang still has some doubts until now and can only hold on to the last glimmer of hope.

If it's really edible, we can get through this winter.

He glanced at the huge mess again and asked, "What should I do with this?"

Liu Siyu frowned slightly. If she had pigs, this could be used as pig feed, but her family didn't even have chickens, let alone pigs.

You can only throw it into the pit and vomit it.

"I don't have any pigs at home, so the manure is a good fertilizer."

Wang heard that pigs were edible, so she was reluctant to give them up to vomit their feces.

"Since pigs can eat them, I will collect them first. When we are fine after eating the acorns, I will give them to other people to feed the pigs."

Liu Siyu was a little confused. Could it be that pigs are more valuable than human lives?

However, she was too lazy to argue with Wang.

"it's up to you."

Speaking of food, I suddenly thought of the rabbit, and couldn't help feeling regretful.

"I finally caught a rabbit, but it was given away before I could even taste it. I think I'd better quit my job as a cattle herder as soon as possible."

Wang disagreed.

"Xiao Niu's illness was just an accident. We finally made it to the end of the year. If you quit now, all the hard work for the year will be in vain. Xiao Niu doesn't want you to take care of him anyway, so you'd better not think of such a thing."

Liu Siyu shrugged.

"I'm just suggesting that herding cattle is a high-risk, low-income job. If you think it's worthwhile, it's up to you."

Wang also understood that herding cattle for others was risky, and the village chief's family was good at calculating.

But if I didn’t herd cattle for others, there wouldn’t be enough food at home.

Besides, plowing the soil is hard work without a man in the house. Liu Siyu didn't understand her difficulties at all.

My heart ached and my tone became even more harsh.

"Don't worry about the cows. Besides, I'm the head of the family and I make the decisions about family affairs."

When Liu Sihan saw her sister and mother arguing, scenes of their past quarrels came to her mind.

Instantly tense.

"Stop arguing. Let's talk about herding cattle next year, okay?"

"Okay," the two answered at the same time. Liu Siyu and Wang looked at each other and said nothing more.

Liu Siyu didn't want to get dragged into this matter. She would leave this home sooner or later and didn't want to argue over these trivial matters that were not worth it.

The most important thing is that she understood that in the situation of extreme lack of food and clothing, all principles became empty talk.

After a quick lunch, Liu Siyu took Liu Sihan up the mountain.

The main purpose of going up the mountain this time was to find medicinal herbs, but after searching for a long time, I didn't find any.

The main reason is that after entering winter, all the herbs have dried up and are difficult to identify.

Imagination is beautiful. I thought that after finding the herbs, I would be able to make herbal hand cream soon.

It would not only solve the problem of food and clothing, but also be a good way to make money. However, the reality is so cruel.

Just when Liu Siyu was feeling frustrated, the rustling sound of leaves swaying came from the woods.

She didn't pay much attention at first and thought it was a villager.

But when she saw Liu Sihan's trembling legs, she instantly realized that the situation was not good.

He asked alertly, "What's that thing in the woods?"

"But... maybe... it's a wild boar." Liu Sihan leaned towards his sister with trembling lips.

When Liu Siyu heard the wild boar, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Although she had never seen it with her own eyes, she had seen many videos of wild boars attacking people in her previous life.

At this moment, his mind was full of the wild boar's long fangs. He thought to himself that it was all over. If he encountered a wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms, he and his sister would have to die here today.

Seeing the swaying tree shadow getting closer and closer to them, Liu Sihan's legs began to tremble.

"Sister, what should I do?"

Liu Siyu turned her head to look at her trembling brother, and her inner fear grew.

Subconsciously, she raised the axe and smashed it hard at the wild boar. Her strong desire to survive made her not even bother to look back. She grabbed Liu Sihan and ran forward desperately.

The wild boar was hit by the hatchet and was completely enraged. It grunted and chased after the two men.

The grunting of the wild boar was like a death warrant to Liu Siyu and her brother. They were so frightened that they had no idea where to go and could only run forward desperately.

Wild boars have lived in the mountains and forests since they were young, and they run on four legs, so they caught up with the person in the blink of an eye.

Liu Siyu looked back in horror. The wild boar's relentless pursuit made her heart instantly rise to her throat.

With their abilities, they are obviously no match for the wild boar.

You can't win by running, and you can't win by fighting.

Just at this critical moment, the road ahead turned into a steep slope.
