Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

As the days of fleeing famine dragged on, the group's food supplies dwindled. Fatigue and hunger wore on every face, their eyes filled with powerlessness and despair. Ye Wan watched their increasingly emaciated faces with deep worry. She knew she had to find a more stable way to help them, or else, sooner or later, they would be succumbed to hunger.

After careful consideration, Ye Wan decided to once again utilize the system's plant identification function and lead those willing to learn in the team to gather edible weeds and vegetables. She realized that collecting food alone wouldn't last long, and the best approach was to teach everyone how to identify and utilize wild plants. This would not only alleviate hunger within the team but also help them become more self-reliant in the future.

The next morning, Ye Wan gathered some capable elderly people, women, and young adults together in a relatively open area of ​​wasteland to conduct a simple "wild vegetable identification class." She patiently demonstrated the wild vegetables she had, including dandelions, amaranth, purslane, and wild chives. She explained each vegetable's characteristics, flavor, and how to prepare them to reduce their bitterness and ensure their safety.

"This is a dandelion. Both the roots and leaves are edible. They taste a bit bitter, but they're rich in nutrients and can help us gain some strength." She pointed to the dandelion with roots in her hand, washed it with water, and then chewed the leaves a few times. Everyone watched her and followed her example.

An elderly woman carefully plucked a dandelion leaf, put it in her mouth, and chewed it for a few times. Although it tasted bitter, she felt a refreshing fragrance gradually spread, bringing a hint of freshness. Her eyes sparkled with surprise, and she said gratefully, "Sister Wan, although this dandelion is bitter, it can make me less hungry. It's really a good thing!"

Ye Wan smiled and nodded, then continued to introduce other wild vegetables and weeds. "This is amaranth. Although it's not as nutritious as dandelions, it tastes slightly better and is perfect for filling our stomachs. This is purslane, which can be eaten raw. It can both fill our stomachs and provide us with some nutrition."

Everyone listened attentively to her explanation, carefully observing the plants and taking Ye Wan's instructions to heart. Some young people began to ask for more details, and Ye Wan patiently answered them one by one, ensuring that everyone could identify the plants.

Under Ye Wan's guidance, some members of the group gradually mastered the art of identifying wild vegetables. She led them into the wilderness, personally demonstrating how to find the best spots for wild vegetables and teaching them how to pick and prepare them. She knew these wild vegetables weren't necessarily gourmet delicacies, but at least they could fill their stomachs and alleviate the pain of hunger.

In a slightly moist area, Ye Wan led the group in gathering a large amount of amaranth and dandelions. After bringing them back to camp, she personally demonstrated how to blanch the wild vegetables to remove their bitterness. Despite limited resources, she used simple tools to soften the flavor of the vegetables, ensuring they were not too difficult to swallow.

As everyone gradually mastered this knowledge, more and more people joined the gathering of wild vegetables. Whenever they arrived in a new place, everyone would consciously seek out edible wild vegetables and bring them back for food. Ye Wan's guidance not only helped everyone maintain their strength but also gradually fostered an atmosphere of self-reliance within the group. Instead of simply waiting for food, people learned to rely on themselves and seek hope for survival in the desolate land.

After several days of training, everyone's foraging skills gradually improved, and the team slowly adapted to subsisting on wild vegetables. The elderly and children, once weakened by hunger, gradually regained some vitality, their faces less pale. Everyone was grateful to Ye Wan, knowing that it was her knowledge and selflessness that allowed them to continue on this difficult journey to escape famine.

One evening, an old man handed Ye Wan a handful of freshly picked dandelion roots and said gratefully, "Sister Wan, you saved all of us. If you hadn't taught us how to find these wild vegetables, I'm afraid we wouldn't survive for more than a few days." His voice was full of admiration and gratitude, and his eyes showed deep respect.

Ye Wan smiled slightly and shook her head gently, "Uncle, we have all helped each other to get to where we are today. As long as we are united, we will be able to persevere." Her tone was gentle but firm, making people feel an invisible power.

Some young mothers in the group also gathered with their children to express their gratitude to Ye Wan. One mother gently held her hand and said with tears in her eyes, "Sister Wan, thanks to you teaching us how to find these wild vegetables, my child was able to survive. You are truly our savior."

Ye Wan patted her hand gently and said softly, "In these troubled times, it is our blessing to survive. As long as everyone knows how to support each other and work together, we can overcome all difficulties." Her eyes revealed a firm belief, as if telling everyone that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, she will lead them forward.

As time went on, Ye Wan's position within the team became increasingly solid. Everyone viewed her not only as a wise figure but also as a true "savior." Her calmness and patience gave everyone hope, while her kindness and selflessness earned them ever-increasing respect. Gradually, everyone stopped calling her "Sister Wan" and began respectfully addressing her as "Miss Wan," a sign of respect.

In the stillness of the night, Ye Wan sat at the edge of the camp, watching the team members regain some vitality after eating wild vegetables. She felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and warmth in her heart. She knew that her knowledge had not only helped herself and her family, but also saved many people in the team. She made a silent vow: no matter how difficult the future, she would continue to lead these people to a place where they could live in peace and stability.

Ye Wan's wisdom and kindness gradually took root within the team, becoming an invisible force. People no longer passively waited, but learned to survive in difficult situations and find hope amidst despair. Ye Wan's actions inspired everyone, giving them the courage and faith to survive in troubled times.
