"Why?" Shui Ling didn't understand. You can obviously find food here, why can't you catch it?

Shui Zheran sighed, "There is a river here, and they all know it. No one comes to catch fish. If we come here, people will blame us for not saying earlier that we can catch fish."

"Ah?" Shui Ling didn't understand. People would complain about finding food?

Shui Zheran shook his head, "Let's go and have a look across the river."

Shui Ling walked on the ice and said, "Why don't people from the grassland country come from this river? Or do you think there won't be anyone here?"

Shui Zheran smiled and said: "They don't have a map, so of course they won't know where there are people. They will just follow the road to find the village."

"Oh..." Shui Ling nodded.

The two of them arrived on the other side of the river. It hadn't snowed very much a while ago, so there were a lot of grass standing there. The key thing was that there were a lot of grass seeds.

The amazing thing is that the birds did not eat all the grass seeds. Could it be that there is better food and they are unwilling to eat these?

Shui Zheran picked up a handful of grass seeds, rubbed them, blew off the shell, and chewed them in his mouth. "The taste is good, and it contains a lot of starch and sugar. You can survive by eating the grass seeds."

Shui Ling, "..." You don't really eat grass seeds, the hard shells rattle your throat.

Shui Zheran took out the bag and started to pick out the grass seeds. The grass grew very high without having to bend down.

Shuiling looked into the distance and saw a patch of elm trees. They were all bare now, but the bark of the elm trees was edible, as the instructor had said before.

But you don’t just peel off the whole piece and eat it, you eat the layer inside the hard shell, dry it and grind it into flour to make noodles.

The two of them picked up a bag of grass seeds and took advantage of the space to go back, making it easier to travel.

After arriving in the forest, the two of them walked back slowly, and Shui Zheran also picked up a large, flat blue stone and went back.

Back in the cave, everyone was staring at their bags, and their eyes began to glow red.

Shui Ling shuddered and wondered whether these people were sick. They didn't go out to find food themselves and stared at other people's food, causing pink eye.

Shui Zheran ignored them and sat at the door of the cave. He took out a wok and fried the grass seeds with the skin blown off. After drying, he crushed them on the bluestone.

After crushing, collect it and soak it in water. Throw away the floating shells. The starch is precipitated at the bottom. Scoop it out and spread it on a smooth stone and bake it by the campfire. Then a biscuit will come out.

The villagers were all amazed when they saw it. Shui Daqiang asked: "Fourth brother, where did you get these grass seeds?"

Shui Zheran said: "On the other side of the river, there are a lot of grass seeds there."

"I'll get it tomorrow too. This month I have to have something to eat even if I have one meal a day." Shui Daqiang didn't have much food there, so he didn't dare to go back and get it.

Shui Zheran nodded, "There are many over there, but don't go too far, there might be wild animals."

"I understand." Shui Daqiang nodded.

Shui Ling picked up a piece of grass seed biscuit and took a bite of it. It was crispy, but the taste was not very good. It was a bit astringent when chewed, but at least it was edible.

At night, the young man woke up, frowned and asked: "Am I still alive?"

Shui Ling chuckled: "Of course, if you die, my mother's medicine will be wasted."

Only then did the man remember what happened and looked at Shui Zheran excitedly, "Thank you for saving my life..."

Shui Zheran said quickly: "No, I don't want to hear that. What's your name?"

"My name is Musheng, from Taohua Village." Musheng replied.

Shui Zheran nodded, "You can't eat or drink now. After all, your intestines have been injured. If your lips are dry, you can only moisten them with wet cotton cloth."

"Well, I listen to you." Musheng nodded. His life was saved by others, so he must be saying this for his own good.

The sleeping mother-in-law was awakened. She sat up and started crying again, "Son, you're awake."

Musheng chuckled, "Mom, I'm fine, I won't die. Follow me and live a good life from now on."

"Hey...Mom, if you don't ask for a good life, you just need to be safe." The old lady wiped her eyes.

Musheng was helpless and could only endure the pain and comfort the old lady.

Su Qin came out and said, "Talk less and rest more."

The old woman finally stopped crying and sat quietly.

Musheng gritted his teeth and felt a stomachache. After all, there was a big hole.

Su Qin also has good medicine, but it's too shocking, and it's not a fatal injury, so just hold on.

What she doesn't know is that she has become a miracle doctor in the eyes of these people. She can save a big hole in the stomach, so she is nothing but a miracle doctor.

Su Qin looked at the grass seed cake, ate a piece and said, "Grass seeds have the effect of clearing away heat and removing internal heat. It's good to eat some."

When she said this, those who didn't want to eat grass seeds were moved. The miracle doctor said it was a good thing, so it must be a good thing.

Shui Zheran knew what those people were thinking with a glance, and said with a smile: "Yes, there are some things that we don't recognize and just think they are grass, but all vegetables and herbs are not grass until their value is discovered.

Grass?"

Su Qin nodded, "Yes, in fact many wild vegetables are medicinal materials."

The couple started talking about the effects of wild vegetables, and Shuiling yawned out of boredom.

By the second day, most of the people in the cave went to look for grass seeds, but a few who still had food left in the cave did not move.

Probably because the county magistrate was in charge, no petty theft occurred.

The days passed day by day, and Musheng was able to move around normally on the eighth day. He would chat with Shui Zheran about hunting whenever he had nothing to do.

On this day, Wei Chenglin ran back happily and said: "They have all left. I didn't expect them to leave so early this year."

Shui Zheran asked: "How is Fucheng doing?"

Wei Chenglin said: "The people over there haven't given me any news yet, but people from the county have already evacuated. We haven't suffered much loss. Only a few locked doors were broken."

Shui Zheran was silent for a moment and said: "We'd better wait until there is news from Fucheng before going back. I'm afraid they will come back with a plan."

"What is a carbine?" Wei Chenglin looked at him puzzled.

Shui Zheran thought about it for a moment and then simply said that a counterattack was a tactic. As a result, Wei Chenglin was very excited and kept talking to him for a long time.

Finally, Wei Chenglin thought for a moment and said, "I hear you, we won't go back yet."

Just like that, another five days later, Wei Chenglin came back from outside with sweat on his forehead. He grabbed Shui Zheran's arm and said, "Brother, you are really good at predicting things."

Shui Zheran, "..." Seeing how excited you are, I won't hit you. Most people can figure it out.

Wei Chenglin said: "They really came back. When they saw no one, they burned several houses before leaving. Do you think we can go back now?"

Shui Zheran shook his head, how could I know? I am not one of those people.
