Lin Dasheng lowered his head, and Old Man Lin coughed and said:

"How about this! Give me half a bowl of wild vegetable porridge every day, second brother! This half bowl of wild vegetable porridge is left for you by dad, so I will eat less.

You should eat more and help share more of the burden at home. Life is tough at home right now!"

Lin Dasheng quickly wiped his tears and said, "Dad, I know, I know everything. Later, I will find a lot of wild vegetables and game to be filial to you and mother."

Old Mrs. Lin glared at him angrily and walked away. When she reached the side, she asked, "Why did you give the second child so much food? He's so stupid, I want to kick him to death."

Old Man Lin said slowly:

"You've offended the second child so badly, who will do all the housework?

Apart from the second child, who can push that flatbed cart every day?

We still have one bag of food, so let's make do with it for now. When we get to the next town, we can buy more food."

Old Mrs. Lin muttered, "Where did our family get so much money?"

Old Man Lin said, "We don't have any, but the eldest son's wife does! She has a lot of money on her."

"How do you know it?"

Old Man Lin smiled and said, "Yesterday, when Fubao was sick, I saw that she had a gold ingot when she took money out of her pocket."

"What? The eldest brother's wife actually hid a gold ingot? Oh my! She's really brave." Old Mrs. Lin looked at Sun Mei and said, "She's really good at hiding it."

Lin Dachang, who was chewing a steamed bun next to him, suddenly felt that the bun in his hand was no longer fragrant.

He really didn't expect that Sun Mei actually had gold in her hands. This was something he couldn't even imagine.

He swallowed and pretended to be asleep, but he was already thinking things he shouldn't have.

During the lunch break, Mrs. Bai cooked a bowl of wild vegetable soup, put a few pine mushrooms in it, and sprinkled some salt.

Food nowadays is so simple and unpretentious. Lin Wanwan swallowed hard. The toffee next to her squeaked at her with a smile on her face.

Lin Wanwan sighed and said, "Toffees, I can't eat them anyway. Why don't you try it? See if this soup tastes good?"

Naitang went straight to Zhao Qiaoniang, who smiled and said, "My dear, do you want some soup too? Wait, I'll heat up a pancake for you."

Toffee's status is very high now. It has led them to find water and avoid danger many times. These are what it deserves.

Mrs. Bai heated up a wild vegetable pancake for it and also heated up an egg for it, which it had also found.

Milk candy squeaked a few times, and dozens of mice rushed out. They divided the wild vegetable cakes directly, and after dividing them, they looked at Milk Candy with pitiful eyes.

Toffee squeaked at them a few times, and the mice ran away.

Lin Bo, Lin Song and Xiao Yuer were playing with the little hedgehog. The little hedgehog curled up into a ball, like a gray ball covered with sharp thorns.

The children's eyes were full of curiosity. They stretched out their fingers cautiously, wanting to touch the little hedgehog, but were afraid of being pricked.

Lin Bo said softly, "Brother, can I touch it?"

Lin Song looked at the sharp thorns and slowly stretched out his hand. The little hedgehog's thorns were not that hard, but short and soft.

Lin Song smiled lightly and said, "It won't hurt."

Lin Bo also stretched out his hand, and the hedgehog retracted its head, feet and tail into its body, stood up its sharp spines, and rolled into a ball.

Lin Bo laughed out loud, and the hedgehog took a long time to approach Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan looked at the hedgehog and thought it was quite cute. She teased it, "Hey! Little guy, where are you from?"

The hedgehog looked at her with fear in its eyes, and Lin Wanwan instantly laughed: "Hey! You don't understand what I say, do you?"

The hedgehog was instantly confused and just stared at Lin Wanwan. Milk candy came over with a "squeak" and started communicating with the little hedgehog.

Lin Wanwan sighed. Why was her ability so useless?

She finally understood that these animals were random. She had met many animals along the way. The last time Zhao Qiaoniang brought back a rabbit, she kept communicating with it, but the rabbit didn't understand anything at all.

The last time I saw a bird, it just pooped and ran away.

The last time before that, she saw a cockroach and tried to communicate with it for a long time, but the cockroach kicked its legs and ran away faster than anything else.

Anyway, she tried every animal she could see, including dragonflies, butterflies, and bees.

She even tried the old yellow dog in the village, but it was of no use at all.

But this hedgehog actually reacted. She was speechless and asked why she had to communicate with the hedgehog when she couldn't communicate with anything else.

The key question is what can a hedgehog do? Should it be sent to the forest to collect wild fruits?

At noon, everyone drank a bowl of wild vegetable soup and then continued on their journey.

There were more and more victims along the way. The village chiefs of Wangjia Village and Linjia Village had people holding sticks and driving them away. The victims did not dare to get too close.

Zhao Qiaoniang and the others were far away. Madam Bai said:

“Let’s not get close to those people, and put more sticks and stones on our bodies.

These people must have escaped from Yunze County. They might be carriers of the plague. Don't let them get close."

Everyone took out their machetes and sticks, ready for battle.

Perhaps because they were so many in number, those people left unwillingly, but their eyes were full of reluctance before they left.

Master Bai looked at the look in their eyes and said, "We have to be careful tonight. These people won't let us go."

Cui Ya thought for a moment and said, "That's not the case! Those people wouldn't be so cruel, would they?"

Master Bai stroked his beard and said, "Who knows? Let's find a safe place to hide today, and we need to disperse all the supplies."

He looked at Naitang and said, "It depends on you tonight."

Lin Wanwan really thinks Master Bai is amazing. An old man in the family is like a treasure. He arranges everything perfectly.

This day was indeed very tiring. Tonight, their camp was in a very empty place. Lin Wanwan looked at the sky. The ancient stars and moon were indeed very large.

Master Bai found a place on the riverbed that was sheltered from the wind. There used to be a river here, and the wide riverbed was exposed. Occasionally, a few withered wild grasses could be seen shivering in the cold wind in the cracks.

The riverbed was littered with stones of various sizes, and the little carpenter had stuck sharp branches around them.

Seeing that there were not many people here, Mrs. Bai started to make a fire and cook. Tonight she would make wild vegetable porridge with some dried rabbit meat.

This dried rabbit meat was made from a fat rabbit that Zhao Qiaoniang brought back from the mountains, and Mrs. Bai made it directly into dried rabbit meat.

Mrs. Bai also made a lot of rabbit oil and occasionally added some to cooking.

The children's eyes lit up as they ate. Xiao Yuer licked his lips and said, "It smells so good! It's so delicious..."
