Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Liu's mother and father also came to see the Jerusalem artichokes they had dug, and Liu Caixia told Liu's mother about it.

"Mom, please ask around to see if the people here know this thing. If they don't know it, we still have to think about how to explain that we know this thing is edible."

"Okay, I'll ask the aunt in the village on the way later. It's okay, I'll tell you then. People in this era are simple and honest, so they can just find an excuse."

Father Liu also agreed, "I think they know a lot of wild vegetables. I heard from the men in the village that some of them were found on the road while fleeing famine.

I just picked up some green plants, regardless of whether they were poisonous or not, and tried them out. I wrote down the ones that tasted good. In order to survive, some people even ate tree bark and Guanyin soil. "

Liu Caixia didn't dwell on these things. Xiaolu and the other person simply drank a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, and the team prepared to continue on their journey.

When they set out again, each aunt carried a basket with some wild vegetables in it. There were all kinds of wild vegetables, but not in large quantities.

The main thing is that we haven’t been walking for long and it’s not deep in the mountains.

These places must have been plundered many times, and we are indeed lucky to be able to pick some wild vegetables and fruits.

It made everyone more certain that the decision to go into the mountains was the right one!

The only thing that made them feel unlucky but also normal was that it took them more than two hours to walk from the foot of the mountain to here, and they didn't see any animals along the way.

I didn't encounter any big or small ones, and there weren't many wild vegetables on the road. It was obvious that they had been dug up by someone, so there must be some fish that slipped through the net.

I wasn't so lucky to encounter small animals again.

When they set out from the col again and walked for about two hours, they found that the further they went into the mountains, the fewer obvious signs of human footsteps there were.

Maybe if they went any further they would enter the deep mountains. After all, they had already walked for nearly four hours today.

For those hunters who cannot spend the night in the mountains, they certainly cannot stay for that long.

The small animals outside the mountains have been almost all hunted down, and there are some large animals in the deep mountains that humans have no way to resist.

At least a few people encountered no way to escape, so there are relatively few people going into the mountains.

Of course, there are also people who venture into the mountains in order to survive.

They organized the strong laborers of a village into teams and acted together, and they were more ferocious when hunting wild boars, wild goats or bison.

If one or two people encounter someone with poor fighting power, or a group of ferocious wild boars, they can only run away. If they can run away, they will be lucky, because if they can't run away, they will never be able to get out of the mountain.

If they encountered a more ferocious leopard, wolf pack, tiger or blind bear, they would probably be wiped out.

At first, the people in Hujia Village were also worried about encountering these wild beasts in the deep mountains. Later, they had no choice but to organize themselves into groups. As long as they were not attacked by a large group of wild beasts, so many people in the village could still handle it. It was also a risky choice.

However, as they walked along and left the outskirts of the mountain, they still did not encounter any small animals. It seemed that they had been hunted by the villagers, but this was also normal.

Village Chief Hu looked at the direction and the surrounding environment at the top of the mountain, and finally chose a road to set off. The people in front continued to open the way. The dead grass on the road became much thicker and the trees became more lush. Village Chief Hu asked everyone to rest for a while before setting off again.

The villagers sat together, the atmosphere was tense but also carried a hint of subtle excitement.

Village Chief Hu took out a water bottle from his backpack and handed it to everyone one by one, while reminding them: "The forest we are entering is more dangerous than the outside. Everyone must be vigilant and take care of each other. If there is any sign of trouble, immediately act according to the signal agreed upon in advance."

After resting for a while, Village Chief Hu stood up, looked around, and seeing that everyone was ready to go, he waved his hand and signaled them to continue moving forward.

The team set out again, and this time, they were more careful as they traveled through the dense forest, taking every step extremely cautiously.

"As we continue on our journey, everyone should pay attention to the surrounding environment. If there is a place suitable for camping and resting at night, we will stop and rest. Try to find a safer place to spend the night."

The Liu family was still in their original position. After setting off, Liu's mother started chatting with the aunt in front of her and showed her the straw basket she was carrying.

This aunt was the wife of Hu Dagen, whom they met at the very beginning. After all, she was the person they had known for the longest time. At that time, Hu Dagen was the one who introduced them to the village chief Hu, so they were naturally close relatives.

"Xiaozhen, let me ask you something quietly. Do you guys eat this?"

Aunt Xiaozhen took a look at the contents of the straw basket and said, "Aunt Liu, what is this? It looks a bit like ginger. Can I eat it?"

"Yes, yes, this is the same as ginger. It can be used to pickle vegetables, but the spiciness is not as strong as ginger. It is very good to eat in winter when there are no vegetables!"

Aunt Xiaozhen immediately became interested when she heard that it was edible. "Aunt Hu, is it really edible? Where did you find it?"

Seeing that she didn't ask how to identify this thing, Liu's mother knew that she was too embarrassed to ask.

"This is also buried in the ground. People in our area eat it, and it reproduces very quickly. If you see it later, I'll teach you. It's also a food. We can save as much as we can. We can introduce it to other aunts in the village. We can also put some in cooking. But don't eat too much in this weather. If you eat too much, you won't have water to drink!"

"Aunt Liu, are you really willing to teach everyone?"

"Is this true? If I didn't want to teach you, I wouldn't have said anything. I asked you first if you knew him, just to confirm. If you all knew him, then it would be redundant for me to tell you. If you didn't, I would definitely be willing to teach you. We have already considered ourselves as people from Hujia Village, and we definitely hope that everyone can survive together."

"Okay, okay, thank you Aunt Liu. If you see it later, go tell the village chief about it. If you didn't see it, forget it. It won't delay your journey."

Aunt Xiaozhen was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, even though the food was not very filling.

But it's better to have something than nothing. If it weren't for the drought, the winters here would be very cold. Aunt Liu just said that eating this thing can also keep you warm in winter.

You know, they like to eat pickled ginger to keep warm in winter.

The two of them chatted in whispers. Most of the time, Liu's mother was asking questions, and occasionally she would talk about their situation. These were the lines that the Liu family had prepared in advance. Everyone memorized them and said the same thing to outsiders to avoid being exposed or having any ambiguity.

What they meant was: the family lived on the border of Xizhou, close to the country of Xiaodan. Usually, the family made a living by doing small business on the border. Due to the drought in recent years and the difficulties in various countries, wars broke out frequently on the border, so the family decided to escape the famine to the central area.

The family set out on their journey in March of the new year. Along the way, they would sell some goods accumulated at the border and exchange them for food to survive. Now, most of the goods have been sold out, and they are barely living on their previous savings.

Seeing that the people of Hujia Village were relatively united and moving forward with plans and goals, I thought of following them in the hope of finding a way to make a living.

Father Liu deliberately said that he was in the trading business so that it wouldn't seem strange if he took out something new when the time came.

There are still three thousand nails in the broken ship, so they have something to hide so as not to arouse suspicion.
