The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!

In the second half of the night, around three or four in the morning,

After a wolf howled, it seemed like more than a dozen wolves followed suit and howled.

Shen Zhiqiu woke up from his sleep.

He wanted to get up quickly, but he got up too quickly and almost fell off the bamboo frame because he was sleeping on the edge.

Fortunately, Da Hu, who was on duty at night, was quick to grab him and prevented him from falling headfirst.

Shen Zhiqiu didn't care about too much. He looked around with his eyes open, his heart beating wildly with fear.

Just think about it, it’s the middle of the night, you’re sleeping soundly, and suddenly you hear a wolf howling. Isn’t that scary?

Shen Zhiqiu whispered to the night watchman, "There's a wolf howling."

Shen Mazi, who was on duty at night, said calmly, "Old Third, isn't it normal to hear wolves howling in the forest?"

"It's a pack of wolves, they are all howling." Shen Zhiqiu suspected that they were all scared silly.

Shen Wangfu, the second son of Shen Dahai, said: "Third brother, wolves howl at night. Let them howl as they please. Listen to the sound. It's far away from us. Listen carefully. There are other wild animals howling."

Shen Zhiqiu: ...Then why didn’t I hear it screaming at other times at night?

"Son-in-law, he called out at other times, but you were far away and you were sleeping in the cave, so you probably didn't hear it." Dahu explained beside him.

Shen Zhiqiu was speechless. This is in the wilderness, wolves and tigers are howling in the middle of the night. Isn't your reaction too calm? He is so scared.

However, he pretended to be calm, coughed dryly, and lay down again, but he could not fall asleep again.

Life is really exciting. They are people who came from a good time. The wolves they saw in their previous lives were mostly on TV.

No matter how fierce it is, it can't bite him through the screen.

It’s different now, they are all alive, and we are still sleeping in the forest. This is clearly approaching their mouths.

Oh! His wife and daughter are so careless, they are still sleeping soundly now, with no intention of waking up. Their hearts must be as big as 18 kilograms if dried up in the sun.

I lay there for another hour with my eyes closed and my mind wandering.

Shen Zhiqiu stood up and said, "Let's go and see if the bamboo we buried has been burned to charcoal."

By this time, almost all the men in the village had woken up. After hearing this, only a few of them stayed behind to protect the elderly, children, women and children, while the rest went to watch the fun.

"Go ahead and dig up the dirt. It's probably going to be hot right now, so use a shovel."

There were so many people that after each of them shoveled a few shovels, a hole had been dug out in the flat land.

Heat was still radiating from the inside.

Shen Zhiqiu knelt on the ground and dug out the food. The first things he dug out were those that were not yet fully burnt.

His eldest brother Shen Zhichun said: "Third brother, did we burn it for too short a time and not thoroughly?"

Shen Zhiqiu was also shocked. Could it be that it was not burned through?

He didn't reply and continued to dig, and what came out next was overburned bamboo residue.

He was depressed and thought to himself, how come my daughter succeeded in one try, but what’s wrong with me?

It was a little hot down there, so he asked his eldest and fourth brothers to continue digging with shovels. He wanted to see if there was not even one root left.

"Oh, Third Brother, look, look, it's burning, there's bamboo charcoal underneath."

Hearing the fourth brother's voice, Shen Zhiqiu turned around in surprise, and the men who were originally disheartened also came back.

Shen Fugui picked up a piece of bamboo charcoal in his hand, not afraid of the heat, and broke it with force. It made a "snap" sound.

Shen Zhiqiu also took two sticks and knocked them against each other. There was a crisp sound and the charcoal had a good luster. It looked similar to the bamboo charcoal they had bought before for barbecue.

Everyone was so excited that Shen Zhinan ran back with his men to get the bamboo basket.

Brother Shen, Shen Zhichun, also had an excited look on his face. He held the bamboo charcoal in both hands and observed it carefully. He didn't know what his brother wanted to see from the black bamboo charcoal.

My brother-in-law Wang Fuxi said, "Third brother, it's easy to burn bamboo charcoal. Let's burn a few more pits. I think it will be ready in the afternoon, and we can continue to burn it in the evening."

Shen Zhiqiu wondered whether he would ever encounter a bamboo forest again in the future, and that he had less food to eat, so he needed a place to store bamboo charcoal.

The main thing is that bamboo charcoal is the best desiccant. Just smash it, wrap it in cloth, and put it in grain, dried meat, or dried cicadas to prevent food from spoiling.

"Okay, let's burn more. When we catch more cicadas, we can make them into dried ones, which won't spoil easily. But we need to dig more holes and get more bamboos first. We have to wait until dark to make a fire, otherwise there will be thick smoke, which will easily expose our position."

When the men heard this, some who were digging holes started digging holes, some who were cutting bamboo started cutting bamboo, and they worked even harder, panting.

Gao Dazhuang instructed his younger brothers to help Uncle Chunzi and Uncle San to pull out the charcoal.

Because the pit was quite large and deep, it was not easy to burn the entire pit, so Shen Zhichun and Shen Zhiqiu wanted to go down into the pit and work their way up.

I spent all of this burning overnight, and I didn't want to waste any of it.

"Uncle Chunzi, Uncle San, let my brother and the others go down, you guys don't go."

"Yes, Uncle San, we brothers are the ones who do this. I see you have taken a shower, but we haven't yet. Let's do it. We'll take a shower after you're done."

As they spoke, several people jumped down, not even afraid of the heat below, that was so honest.

At five o'clock in the morning, the cicadas started chirping again. I really don't know how tired I am.

Li Jingshu also woke up, opened his eyes and walked out of the bamboo house, feeling a little dazed. He looked around at the bamboo racks and found that the men had gone somewhere.

Many women got up and started to work. Shen Zhinan and the others came back with bamboo baskets and were about to leave when they were stopped by Li Jingshu.

"Uncle, where is your third brother?"

Shen Zhinan replied: "The bamboo charcoal is ready. Third brother is over there. Let's come back and get the bamboo basket to hold the charcoal."

After hearing this, Li Jingshu was also very happy. Finally, all his work was not in vain: "Okay, go ahead."

Seeing that everyone had left, she hurriedly busied herself with cooking with the women. She had been catching cicadas until midnight yesterday, and had gone to get bamboo charcoal early in the morning.

They must be hungry, so I quickly made some hot porridge and some dry food to help the man on duty get rid of the cold.

There was some braising liquid left, so I started frying cicadas after dinner. It seemed like there was no end to the work.

On Shen Zhiqiu's side, the men were calling him again.

"Third brother, take a look and see if this is how it is done," shouted Gao Liehu.

He quickly responded: "Hey, Uncle Gao, let me take a look."

Mr. Shen was supported by Mr. Shen and walked over. He praised without taking a breath:

"Look, only scholars have brains. I didn't expect it to be feverish. Shuanzi, you have raised a good son."

Old man Shen Changshuan was also smiling, his eyes full of pride. His third child had been the most promising kid in the village since he was young. He was very good at memorizing when he was four or five years old. Fortune tellers said that the third child was destined to become an official of high rank.

But thinking about the current situation, hey! It’s good enough that the family is safe and sound.

Shen Zhiqiu felt a little embarrassed. This grandfather always praised him in different ways every day. If he hadn't been flattered a lot in his previous life, he would have been flattered a long time ago.

He said quickly: "What do you mean by educated or not educated? We are just peasants. We know a few words at most. We are not as good as our brothers in escaping famine."

Father Shen was not happy with this: "Can we escape forever? When we settle down, we still have to rely on your brain to make a living."

Shen Zhiqiu is the pride of old man Shen. He has worked hard all his life to raise Shen Zhiqiu. Even if he cannot become a high official,

The third child can't farm like them, so it's better for him to continue to be a private school teacher! At least he will be respected.
