Transformed into an extremely evil grandmother and fled to escape famine with her children and grand

Li Lanzhen directed her daughters-in-law as they prepared dry food, while she and the children sat by the fire and began to peel chestnuts.

Li Lanzhen threw a dozen chestnuts next to the campfire and let them roast slowly. The swollen chestnuts made crackling sounds from time to time, and the children shouted with joy.

She used a fire poker to pull out the hairy chestnuts and set them aside to dry. The sweet aroma of roasted chestnuts filled the entire straw hut.

After letting them cool, I peeled them one by one and gave them to the children. Their mouths were full of black ash, but they were extremely happy.

After peeling the chestnuts, the shells were piled aside and the brown chestnuts were all placed in a basket. They could not be dried in the sun as the drizzle was still falling and there was no sign of sunlight.

After cleaning up her own house, she went to see if her mother's family had finished peeling the fruits.

When I went over, I saw my parents laughing. Ye had also thrown a dozen chestnuts next to the fire. They were crackling under the fire. After peeling them, she gave a few to the children and put more in a large bowl, saying that it would be delicious if they were put in the porridge in the evening.

Li Lanzhen stood up and patted her collar, thinking about going out to see how they were going with felling trees.

As a result, when I went out, I saw the second son, Han Mingjiang, running back, shouting "Mom, Mom."

She frowned and said, "You're calling for the soul? What are you calling for? You look so anxious and flustered."

"Mom, we found a cave when we were cutting trees. The cave is very big. My father-in-law asked me to ask you to go and see if you want to move in and live there."

Li Lanzhen was delighted. Could it be that her guess yesterday was correct? Maybe there was some treasure in this cave?

The system rolled its eyes silently, thinking about getting something for nothing all day long.

Li Lanzhen followed Han Mingjiang for a while and saw that everyone was gathered at the entrance of a cave. The cave was quite hidden because they had discussed yesterday about cutting some vines to tie three trees together and then put them on the bridge, which would be stronger.

It happened that Han Mingjiang and Xue Bao were the ones who went to cut the vines. After they finished cutting all the vines, the cave was revealed, but they did not rush in.

After Xue Lao Hu came over, he took a few stones and threw them in. There was no sound, so he lit a fire and threw them in again. After a while, they went in to see the cave. It was very big and dry, and could accommodate all the people in Hanjia Village.

After entering the cave, I found that it was indeed very large. At the end, I could hear a dripping sound. I didn’t know if it was spring water or rain water leaking.

Xue Bao saw Li Lanzhen observing the water and said, "Aunt, this is still spring water. It tastes really sweet when I drink it. A small pool has formed at the bottom, which is full of drinkable water."

Li Lanzhen was very happy. Ever since they ran from the cave below to the top of the mountain to escape the flood, drinking water has been a problem.

We didn’t dare drink the flood water in the rivers on both sides, but after all the stored water was drunk up, we could only filter it simply and then boil it before drinking it.

But Li Lanzhen always felt uncomfortable, thinking about what had been soaked in the flood, so she secretly added purified water from the space to the water tanks in her own home and her parents' home.

Now that we have spring water, everyone’s drinking water problem can be solved.

The village chief also came over and said, "Lanzhen, why don't we just move in here? It's sheltered from the rain and dry. In autumn, the mountain winds are very cold in the morning and evening. Many children and elderly people in the family have caught cold."

Li Lanzhen also knew about this situation because she heard the coughing of the elderly and children, and there was no medicine.

Li Lanzhen boiled the Isatis root granules and ginger in the space into water, and no one drank half a bowl.

When the people of Hanjia Village lived in the caves at the foot of the mountain, the area was rich in resources. They dug up a lot of wild ginger and picked green peppercorns from pepper trees. They also boiled ginger water to drink at home.

Li Lanzhen nodded without comment and said, "Whoever wants to move in can move in. We will continue to live in the straw hut downstairs."

For some reason, Li Lanzhen always felt that if she lived in this cave, there would be some danger. For this reason, she still wanted to live in the straw hut.

The people in Hanjia Village were extremely happy. After the cave was cleaned, it was dry and not damp, and there was clean spring water to drink.

After cleaning, everyone moved in.

Han Shunde told the villagers how each family could get spring water, so there was no commotion. Everyone consciously went to get water from each family, boiled it and stored it.

Li Lanzhen asked Han Mingjiang, "How is the tree felling going?"

Han Mingjiang shook his head. "Mom, it's not easy to chop. If you chop it too thin, it won't work. My father-in-law said we have to chop it thicker. We haven't chopped down a single tree yet. The main reason is that the tools we have are not good enough. Several of our axe blades have bent."

Li Lanzhen said, "Come back and I'll give you two axes."

Han Mingjiang happily followed Li Lanzhen back to the straw hut.

After entering the straw hut, Han Yinan and his friends gathered around the fire and ate roasted chestnuts.

Seeing him come in, the children stuffed the peeled chestnuts into his mouth.

Han Mingjiang squinted his eyes happily and slowly chewed the sweet chestnuts in his mouth.

Li Lanzhen handed him two axes and said, "Here, these two should be good to use. It would be best if you can speed up and chop three."

Han Mingjiang took the axe with a laugh, "Mom, my father-in-law said that we should cut three thick trees to build a bridge, and then cut two thinner ones to use as crowbars, and then use these three to build the bridge to the other side.

When everyone saw Han Mingjiang carrying two axes, they were all very happy and said, "Ah, is this something that the owner of Jin Fulai gave to Aunt Lan? It looks very useful."

Han Mingjiang nodded. In fact, he didn't know what the young master Jin Fulai gave to his mother, but he believed in his mother. Whatever his mother said was the truth. It was impossible for their mother to conjure something out of thin air.

With these two axes, the speed of chopping trees increased.

Women and children in the mountains were digging wild vegetables in groups of two or three, looking for something to eat.

Han Yuemei, along with a few children and Tong Hua, also dug wild vegetables and tender branches. They picked everything edible and put them in their backpacks.

At this time, Gu Yuli and her sister Gu Yushi came over. There were only a few wild vegetables in their backpacks.

Seeing that Han Yuemei's backpack was almost full, he rushed over and grabbed a few handfuls of fruit and put them in his own backpack.

Tonghua saw her coming and kicked her to the ground, then took the vegetables out of her basket. Unexpectedly, Gu Yuli shouted loudly, "Hurry up, hurry up, people from other villages are stealing my wild vegetables."

When she shouted, everyone turned around and just happened to see Tonghua putting wild vegetables from her backpack into Han Yuemei's backpack.

They came over one after another to persuade her, "Tonghua, how could you steal the wild vegetables from a little girl?"

"That's right, there are so many wild vegetables in this mountain, you can just dig them yourself, why do you want to steal hers?"

"You two families don't get along, but you can't bully others like this."

Unexpectedly, Goudan and Han stood up and said, "Aunt, you are mistaken. It was Gu Yuli and the other two who came to grab my aunt's vegetables first and pushed her down. My aunt saw it and came over to take back the vegetables she had taken.

If you don't believe me, ask her what wild vegetables she picked, and then ask what wild vegetables my aunt picked. "

Gu Yuli casually mentioned a few kinds of wild vegetables.

Then Han Yumei laughed, "You are talking nonsense. You are not getting to the point. The wild vegetables I picked are all of this kind, gray ear vegetables, and they are all tender branches. Do you see if they are the same as yours?"

The women stretched their heads to take a look and saw that it was indeed different, so they all walked away embarrassedly.

Tonghua looked at him with disgust and said, "Get away from me, as far away from our family as possible, get away from me. If you dare to steal our things next time, I will break your legs. Get out of here!"

After saying that, he took Han Yuemei and left.

By the evening, all the families living around Li Lanzhen's thatched hut had moved into the cave.

Li Lanzhen said to her relatives, "Fellow relatives, whoever wants to live in the cave can go ahead. We want to continue living in this thatched hut."

Everyone laughed and said, why not live together so that they can take care of each other.

Xue Bao said, "Dad, we still have to keep watch at night. I think the girl who set the fire last time is still determined to steal Yuemei's wild vegetables today."

Li Lanzhen nodded and said, "Yuemei and I will take the first shift."

Seeing that everyone still wanted to argue, she said, "You are tired from cutting trees today, let me do it."

After a tiring day, everyone fell asleep.

Li Lanzhen sat on a futon and threw a few chestnuts into the campfire, which made crackling sounds.

I prepared to roast it and let my little girl eat it. My little girl was like a hard-working little bee, always busy with this and that, taking care of this and that, dark and thin, a teenager, and she had not yet had her period.

Han Yuemei leaned on Li Lanzhen, eating sweet chestnuts, and looked through the gap at the still falling rain.

She whispered to Li Lanzhen, "Mom, where is my little brother now? Is he safe? Is he full? I don't know if he has escaped the flood. Is he injured?"

Li Lanzhen also looked up at the night sky where drizzling rain was falling, thinking about her little son, wondering what the situation was like at the moment.
