Everyone was used to this, so they stopped to rest and waited quietly for Naitang to return.

Naitang went to explore the way forward. After a cup of tea, Naitang came back jumping and skipping, followed by a dozen black rats.

Each of these black rats showed the alertness of wild creatures, and their eyes were full of vigilance.

Some of them are strong and sturdy, while others are round and fat. They stand there quietly, confronting everyone.

The toffee squeaked for a long time, and the mice ran forward with it.

Zhao Qiaoniang and the others hurried to catch up. These black rats were like guides, leading them back and forth.

After a while, a tree hole appeared in front of her. Zhao Qiaoniang curiously reached into the tree hole and took out two squirrels.

The tree hole was full of pine nuts. Several people excitedly kept digging in the tree hole, taking out all the pine nuts and other things.

These two squirrels are fat and cute, but at this moment they have become meat in their eyes.

They quickly tied up the squirrel, threw it into the backpack, and continued on their way.

Not long after they walked, the black rats suddenly stopped. Zhao Qiaoniang was full of confusion, not knowing what had happened.

After a while, a mouse slowly approached a cave, and it looked terrified.

Huangmao observed the cave passage for a moment:

"This is a snake hole. Rats are afraid of snakes, and they are obviously very scared at the moment."

Zhao Qiaoniang thought for a moment and said, "How about we smoke it out?"

Soon, they took out a backpack, pointed it at the snake hole, and kept smoking it.

After a while, a very thick snake came out of the hole.

The snake had a thick and strong body. It was wriggling slowly and was very angry because of the sudden smoke.

The snake's head was raised high, and its tongue was sticking out from time to time, making a terrifying "hissing" sound.

Huang Mao immediately covered the basket and said, "It's done, let's make snake soup..."

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." Then another snake came out of the cave and looked at them with a warning look.

Cui Ya was so scared that she picked up the big knife and chopped it. Before everyone could react, the snake's head had already fallen to the ground.

Huang Mao hissed. He was scared to death, okay? Cui Ya's technique was so clean and neat.

Zhao Qiaoniang found some dry grass, picked up the snake and threw it into her backpack.

The snake in the backpack looked at the black rats with hatred in its eyes. The black rats squeaked at the backpack for a long time, probably communicating with each other in a friendly manner.

The toffee squeaked a few times, but the black rats ignored the snake and continued on their way.

Although it is winter, there are still some things left in the deep mountains and forests, and they also want to take advantage of the winter to find some more things.

After Naitang took the children around for a few rounds, they finally found some dates on a tree.

These dates are Chinese jujubes, and the skin of the dates is slightly rough. However, there are not many of them, with only thirty or forty left hanging on the tree. However, in this slightly bleak early winter forest, they are particularly precious.

Cui Ya took a bite and felt a slight sourness at first, and then a faint sweetness spread in her mouth.

I guess most of the other dates were eaten by birds in the mountains.

"It's delicious and sweet. Sister Qiao Niang, you should have one too." Cui Ya rubbed the dates on her body.

"No, leave it all for the children! It's rare to find something delicious." Zhao Qiaoniang smiled.

After putting the dates in the backpack, the group continued to move forward. Naitang led them to look for something nearby. After half an hour, Naitang started to squeak again.

Huangmao immediately rushed forward and said, "Boss Rat, what good stuff have you found?"

This scared the candy. It was stunned for a while before pointing to something next to it.

Toffee brought them to a place covered with fine vines.

Zhao Qiaoniang opened her eyes wide, her face full of confusion: "What kind of vine is this? Is it edible?"

Cui Ya was also confused and had no idea what this was.

A few people were so curious that they carefully dug up the vines.

They dug very carefully, for fear of damaging anything. As the soil was slowly turned over, they unexpectedly dug out sticks.

At first they thought it was a tree root, but Zhao Qiaoniang frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said loudly:

"I think I've seen this thing before, it seems to be yam, right?

Once I was in the field and saw this thing planted in my neighbor's field.

This can be eaten and used as food!"

Cui Ya quickly said, "Can this thing be eaten? Isn't it a tree root?"

Zhao Qiaoniang quickly shook her head and said:

"It's not a tree root. Look at the white stuff in here, it's definitely yam.

Let's dig these things up first and ask Aunt Bai."

There doesn't seem to be much of the yam on the surface, and it is scattered sparsely in the soil.

However, only when you actually start digging will you realize how hard it is.

Zhao Qiaoniang and the others started digging with full confidence at first, but as time went on, they found that the yam had very deep roots, and it took a lot of effort to dig out each root intact.

Zhao Qiaoniang rubbed her hands while digging, muttering, "Digging yams is such a hassle."

Cui Ya said: "My hands are itchy..."

"Oh no, we can't dig this thing like this. We have to wrap it with cloth, otherwise our hands will itch." Zhao Qiaoniang just remembered it.

Huangmao quickly picked up a few pieces of rags nearby and wrapped them around his hands, then continued digging. These were all food!

They dug for two hours. As it got dark, they stood up. Mulan said, "We've finally finished digging. These yams will last us a long time, right?"

Zheng Xiuxiu said with a smile: "That's right! It will last us at least for more than a month. We might even be able to reach Bianjing."

Everyone was full of anticipation for Bian Jing. Just as they were about to leave, they heard a "roar" and everyone was startled.

Naitang's face was filled with fear. They immediately put the baskets on their backs. Zhao Qiaoniang said, "Let's go quickly. Who knows what kind of wild animal's roar is coming from!"

A group of people were running through the woods following Toffee when they heard the bear getting closer and closer to them.

When they turned around, they saw more than a dozen people from Wangjia Village, more than 200 meters away from them.

Looking more closely, I saw that there was a bear following these dozen people.

It was the first time for them to see a blind bear. Zhao Qiaoniang whispered, "Run, run quickly..."

This thing could kill them with just one slap, so they became extremely fast. Fortunately, they ran all the way to the foot of the mountain. Several of them sat down at the foot of the mountain, panting heavily.

Mulan patted her chest and said:

"Damn it, this mountain is really dangerous. If you encounter these ferocious beasts, you will die.

I don't know what's happening to the people in Wangjia Village."
