Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down

When Lin Shu returned to the cave, she looked so radiant and beautiful that Mrs. Wu and her four sons felt itchy all over.

Under Lin Shu's instructions, the five mothers ran towards the shallow pit.

At noon, the Lin family members, after washing up, gathered at the entrance of the cave with their dry hair loose.

Lin Shu actually smelled a scent of grass and trees. She wondered what they used to wash their hair.

...

"Little sister, there is meat to eat."

Lin Hongyi held up two skinned rabbits and showed them off to Lin Shu.

"Brother has tanned the rabbit skins and made you a coat to keep you warm."

Lin Hongyi thought of all the rabbit furs that had been snatched away from the front yard, leaving his six-year-old sister without a cotton coat, let alone a rabbit fur jacket.

"Brother is awesome. Our whole family needs fur coats to wear in winter."

Lin Shu clapped her hands cooperatively, her face full of joy.

This body was already drooling like crazy, and she had no control over it at all.

"My daughter, Dad has hunted a little wild boar and will put it away later." Lin Erzhuang said unwillingly.

How can a father let his son steal the limelight? I believe the big wild boar will be here soon.

“Dad Lin is also very capable, we now have meat to eat.

In order to have more meat to eat later, I want ten large wooden racks. "

Lin Shu was very considerate and took the opportunity to put forward her request.

The Qiankun bag has the function of preserving freshness, so every inch should be utilized, and it will be more convenient with a storage rack.

After hearing what his daughter said, Lin Erzhuang was so happy that he smiled foolishly, and the knife he used to cut the little wild boar left an afterimage.

The disassembled wild boar, along with its bones and meat, was stored in the Qiankun bag.

He was reluctant to even throw away the internal organs, so he would just go to the river to wash them when no one was around.

...

The family chatted and laughed on the two pots and soon had a meaty lunch.

Sorghum rice and rabbit stew.

Although it only tasted salty, the whole family enjoyed it very much. After all, it was a rare piece of meat.

As I remember, the original owner only ate meat during the Chinese New Year, with seven mouths sharing a two-finger-sized piece of meat.

After eating and taking a nap, Lin Shu put away the things that shouldn't have appeared.

When going down the mountain, Lin Shu was wearing a gray patched jacket and gray coarse cloth cropped trousers.

He had a grey turban on his head and sweat was streaming down his face like a stream.

Cicadas were humming lazily, and villagers spread bamboo mats under the eaves to enjoy the cool air.

The Lin family walked along the wall back home, and the villagers who were enjoying the cool air asked curiously.

"Erzhuang, where did your family go?" Lin Dacheng asked puzzledly.

"Hey, Brother Dacheng, it's hard to put it into words!" Lin Erzhuang shook his head and said with an unspeakable look on his face.

"If there is anything wrong with what you say, fellow villagers, come and sit down."

Lin Dacheng gossiped and asked the Lin family to sit down. The family made way for their seats and waited with their ears pricked up.

A smile flashed in Lin Erzhuang's eyes. He put down the backpack and fanned Lin Shu with a straw fan, saying.

"You also know what happened last night. My mother insisted that I pay ten taels of silver, otherwise she would not give my family any food.

There was no other choice but to take his wife and children into the mountains to try his luck.

Fortunately, we caught two snakes, so the whole family didn’t starve to death.”

“Snakes are good things, but they are hard to catch.

Otherwise, I will have to go into the mountains to try my luck." Lin Dacheng shook his head and whispered.

"Your eldest son has returned in a carriage, and he has brought a distinguished guest with him."

"Oh~"

Lin Erzhuang's heart skipped a beat, thinking that what is meant to come will eventually come.

He became more and more certain that everything in his dream was real, and Linjia Village would become the focus of outside attention.

Lin Erzhuang hurried back home with his family. As soon as he entered the backyard, he heard voices coming from the front.

There was sarcasm in Lin Erzhuang's eyes. The boss's family had all returned.

It seems that life in town is not easy either, so he has come back to beg for money.

"Dad Lin, do you want to go to the front to see the distinguished guest?" Lin Shu whispered in his ear.

"If Shu'er wants to see it, Dad will go."

"Hehe, the river clams are more important. We have to get out before they know about it."

Seeing that he didn't want to get close, Lin Shu didn't force him.

When a noble person appears in the village, it is most likely that he came here because of the falling meteor that night.

Everyone knows their own business, so it’s better not to get involved.

When Lin Shu saw the mess in the house, she knew without a second thought that it was Old Lady Lin who did it, and she was extremely speechless.

【Jump as hard as you can! 】

Lin Shu spat inwardly. She was waiting to see the joke that Old Lady Lin would make when she found out that the silver was lost.

"Dad, grandma is going too far." Lin Hongtian said angrily.

"It's most important to do your own thing. Dad will take you out soon." Lin Erzhuang said, suppressing his anger.

He knew that now was not the time to fight with the people in the front yard, and everything should be focused on preparing supplies.

He has the unique gift of foresight. If he doesn't lead his wife and children to live a decent life, he might as well die.

Lin Erzhuang stopped Wu's hand from packing up, took the only water pitcher and wooden barrel in the house and left quietly.

...

Xiaoqing River.

The naughty boy swam freely in the muddy river, and his body was as black and slippery as a loach.

Lin Erzhuang chose a shady place, and the whole family started picking river clams.

Lin Shu still maintained the image of not being able to walk in front of people. She lay on the ground and picked up river clams with herself as the origin. Baozi had been sent into the space when she went down the mountain.

After a while, a hill of clams appeared around Lin Shu.

Under the guidance of Lin Shu, the family cut open the clam meat, cleaned out the dirt inside, and loosened the axe feet.

Boil in boiling water, remove from the water, cut into thin slices and dry in the sun.

The thin slices of clam meat dried quickly under the scorching sun and were collected while being dried.

When the villagers came to the river to fetch water, the Lin family had collected nearly twenty kilograms of clam meat slices.

Of course, the clam meat slices displayed in the open weigh less than two pounds, and the rest are already in the Qiankun bag.

...

"Er Zhuang, can you eat this?

It smells fishy and you can't chew it, so don't waste your energy." Lin Dayou said sympathetically.

"There's nothing to eat at home, and wild vegetables are hard to find, but this is meat after all.

It's better than starving to death, I have no choice." Lin Erzhuang frowned and smiled bitterly.

The air was filled with a fishy smell, which became even more unbearable when exposed to the sun, but you got used to it after a while.

But the villagers watching are different!

In their eyes, Lin Erzhuang's family could no longer survive as they had to eat such filthy food.

When I thought about what happened last night, I knew that it was Old Lady Lin who forced me to do it, and I felt more and more sympathetic towards Lin Erzhuang's family.

Sympathy aside, no one had extra rice, so they all shook their heads and went to fetch water to irrigate the fields.

From afar, the crops in the fields have withered, but the scorching sun above is still shining.

Lin Shu knew that no matter how much water she carried, it would not solve the fundamental problem.

Even if heavy rain falls, the crops for this season will be ruined and the futile struggle will be in vain.

...

The news that Lin Erzhuang's family was so hungry that they had to eat pickled food quickly spread among the villagers who carried water.

Because Old Man Lin's family had a distinguished guest, they did not go to work in the fields, and Lin Erzhuang also perfectly avoided the fate of carrying water.

The last ray of sunlight disappeared into the clouds, and the villagers dragged their tired bodies back home.

The second beggar slapped a handful of mosquitoes to death, and when he smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the earthenware jar, he started to swallow his saliva. He scratched his hair that had become sticky, and said with a drooling face.

"Brother Erzhuang, this is really delicious! Let me try a bowl."

"Get lost! If you want to eat, go get it yourself! Didn't you see that my family worked so hard for half a day to get this little?

You can feed your whole family if you eat well, how dare you fight with these kids for food?" Lin Erzhuang said unhappily.

This guy is notoriously lazy and greedy in the village. He spends all day taking food from one family and another.

Anyone who sees him will have a headache.
