Deep in the mountains, Li Lan held a hatchet in his hand, his eyes fixed on two wild boars weighing nearly two kilograms that were running towards him.

She quickly circled behind the two wild boars, dodged into the gap between them, and then, with one hand on the back of the left wild boar, she flipped over beautifully and landed on the other side. Seizing the right moment, she struck the wild boar's neck with her axe, sinking more than five inches into the thick wild boar hide. (1 inch = 3 centimeters)

The wild boar fell to the ground with a thud and died instantly. The wild boar on the right saw its companion fall, turned around and charged straight at Li Lan behind him. Li Lan sneered.

"Just do it, empty head. Come on, big wild boar." Thinking of this, he ran forward.

The wild boar behind her was relentless in pursuit, and just as it was about to hit Li Lan, she climbed a few steps up the tree, flipped back, and landed behind the wild boar. She quickly ran to its left, and when it hit the tree, she struck its neck with a knife, and the wild boar fell to the ground and died.

Li Lan used a hatchet to support himself on the ground, knelt on one knee, and panted. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Xiaobao's pills are really good. The flexibility of this body is simply amazing."

She wiped the sweat that was about to flow into her eyes with her hand, slowed down, walked quickly to the two wild boars, and put them into the storage room.

"Xiaobao, are there any large animals around?"

"No, host. Host, if we go another 3 kilometers south, we will reach the place I mentioned last time."

"Okay." Li Lan licked his dry lips and sighed. "Every time I come here secretly, I can't even drink water. Next time, I must come openly."

Less than half an hour later, Li Lan stopped walking. Looking at the vast, vibrant bamboo forest before her, her fatigue vanished.

"Fuck, bamboo shoots, such a large area of ​​bamboo shoots. I'm rich, I'm rich. I thought there were no bamboos in the north, but I didn't expect there to be a bamboo forest deep in the West Mountain. These ancient mountains are really full of treasures. The novel really doesn't lie to me." Li Lan ran over excitedly with a hatchet in his hand.

"Digging, digging, digging in the vast bamboo forest, digging for big bamboo shoots to find beautiful flowers..." Li Lan hummed happily as she dug at the bamboo shoots with her hatchet. She paused, looking at the mountain of bamboo shoots piled up nearby. She glanced around, still seeing a vast expanse of shoots, and then she looked at the sky.

He thought to himself: "I have to go back quickly. It's too late and I will get beaten again. Let's fight tomorrow." Thinking of Zhang's strength, Li Lan couldn't help shaking.

He wove a simple frame with vines, placed the dry firewood he had collected at the bottom and around the frame, and then put the bamboo shoots he had dug in one by one. Seeing that there were still a lot of bamboo shoots left on the ground, Li Lan put them all into the storage room.

After finishing all this, he walked back humming a song happily.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw Li Run and Li He squatting there feeding the only old hen in the house. Hearing the noise behind them, the two children turned around to look.

"Sister, sister, you're back. Why did you go up the mountain to collect firewood?" Li Run looked at the big basket in Li Lan's hand, put down the earthworms in his hand, stood up and ran over.

"Sister, sister." Li He also ran over.

"What the hell? Why are you going up the mountain again, you damn girl?" Zhang ran out of the kitchen holding a wooden shovel and shouted.

Li Lan touched his nose and swallowed.

"Mom, I went up the mountain and found something good, something to eat."

"What's there to eat? Why don't you listen to your mother?" As she said this, she was about to hit her with a wooden shovel.

"Mom, mom, the food is burnt, the food is burnt." Li Lan looked at her coming and shouted loudly.

Zhang heard this and said, "Oh, my radish!" She quickly turned around and went into the kitchen.

Li Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Holding the basket, he followed into the kitchen, walked to the corner of the kitchen, and emptied the contents of the basket.

"Sister, what is this?" Li Run, who followed in, picked up the bamboo shoots on the ground with curiosity on his face.

Li He next to him also picked one up and took a look.

"This is called bamboo shoots. Peel off the outer skin and blanch it in water, then you can stir-fry it." Li Lan said as he picked up one and started to peel it.

"Can you really eat this, girl?" Zhang said, having stood behind them without them noticing.

"Yeah, Mom, let's peel a few and fry them tonight, how about that?"

"Okay, let's fry a few and try them." As he said that, he picked up one and started to pick it up like Li Lan.

After the meal was ready, not long after, everyone who had gone out returned. On each of the two dining tables in the main hall were a large bowl of white radish, a large bowl of stir-fried bamboo shoots, a bowl of pickled vegetables, and a bowl of brown rice porridge.

"What is this? Wow, it's quite delicious. Crunchy." Li Chunsheng exclaimed. (Third Uncle)

"Yes, sister-in-law, what is this dish? It's really delicious." Chen agreed. (Third Aunt)

Even Mrs. Wang nodded.

"This is what my sister found in the mountains. She said it's called bamboo shoots." Before Zhang could answer, Li Run spoke.

"Sister, is there anything else? How about I go with you tomorrow?" Li Xing said with bright eyes.

"Yes, there is a large area. I only dug a small area today. If we don't go there soon, they will get old and turn into bamboo, which will be inedible." Li Lan said with pretended regret.

Xiaobao: "Host, you are really getting better and better at tricking people."

At the adults' table, no one spoke for a moment.

"Where is the land with bamboo shoots growing? Is it outside the West Mountain?" asked Mrs. Wang.

"Mom, the area around West Mountain has been completely destroyed. Where can we find this thing?" Li Chunsheng said. (Third Uncle)

As soon as Li Chunsheng finished speaking, everyone turned their gazes towards Li Lan. Li Lan held the bowl, looked at the expressions of these people, and swallowed the food in his mouth.

He said slowly: "Haha, I was just at the foot of the mountain and saw the faint green in the deep mountains. I was curious, so I went in to take a look."

After a pause, she changed her tone and said excitedly, "I didn't expect to find a large area of ​​bamboo shoots. I was born with supernatural powers. Even wild animals have to avoid me when they see me. Who dares to block my way?"

After saying that, he raised his chin proudly.

"Ouch." Li Lan cried out in pain, covering his head.

Zhang hadn't known when she was standing behind her. She shouted, "What are you thinking about? Look how proud you are of me, my aunt."

"Oh, mom, please be gentle. You keep hitting my head. Do you want a silly daughter?" Li Lan covered his head with his hands and said with an accusing look on his face.

"Okay, Zhang, you sit back down. Silang, tell me, should we go to the mountains and get all those bamboo shoots back?" said Mrs. Wang.

"Mom, I think it's feasible. Tomorrow my brother and I will take Xiaolan and Hai together." Li Chunhua thought for a while and said.

"But, brother-in-law, what should we do if there are wild beasts in the mountains?" Zhang said nervously.

"Mom, it's okay, I'm here. I was born with supernatural powers." Li Lan said quickly.

Zhang glared at her and Li Lan smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, let's go. You all should go up the mountain early tomorrow." Although Wang Po was worried, she thought that if she could find food in this disaster year, she would have to find a way to get it back. If she didn't make good preparations and something unexpected happened, the whole family would be finished.
