Chapter 3 Survive
Su Zi looked at the grass and low bushes all over the mountains and plains, feeling very helpless.
The place where she was standing now was halfway up a mountain. She thought that this hilltop must have been a specially carved cemetery. Graves were scattered everywhere. However, except for the graves, they were covered with grass, and both of them were inedible.
Standing halfway up the mountain, you can see terraced fields one after another, as well as vast undulating mountains. However, the mountains are far away on the other side, and it seems that you can still see a few ant-like dwellings at the foot of the mountains.
Su Zi took a deep breath and searched everywhere with her eyes, even the graves and ditches.
Her feet were blistered from walking, her throat was filled with smoke, and her stomach was so hungry that she almost turned over, but still found nothing. Su Zi fell to the ground with a decadent "plop". She didn't want to cry, but her eyes were sore.
It was like being punched.
Breathing heavily, Su Zi climbed up again. This time, she no longer looked at the half-human tall grass. She focused all her attention on the crisscrossing shrubs. When she was a child, she was also in the countryside.
Those who have been there will never believe that they can’t even find some wild fruits!
There are always some edible wild fruits in this era that have not been discovered by anyone!
After half a stick of incense, when Su Zi looked at the mature and bright red wild fruits commonly known as "milk potion" hidden under the bushes, Su Zi looked up to the sky and laughed, thinking of being so heroic.
When she said something like, "The sky will never stop me," her face felt cold and she cried.
Ignoring those wild thorns scratching her hand, she quickly picked a handful without caring whether they were clean or wormy. She stuffed her mouth full, chewed two handfuls and swallowed them.
After making herself six minutes full, Su Zi piled the "milk medicine" she picked out into her small coat. Thinking that she had been gone for a long time, Aunt Tao and the others would be anxious, so she put the small coat
He tied it tightly, held it in his hand and strode back along the way he came.
Perhaps because she was full, Su Zi walked faster.
After walking for about half an hour, the childish voice of Third Brother Tao faintly sounded in my ears, "Second sister, second sister..."
Su Zi couldn't help but pause. As the sound got closer and closer, Su Zi walked faster.
When they rounded a corner, they saw Aunt Tao leading Fourth Sister Tao, and Third Brother Tao staggering towards her.
Third brother Tao saw her first, his eyes lit up and he pointed at her and said anxiously to Aunt Tao: "Mom, look, it's the second sister, it's the second sister."
Aunt Tao looked at Su Zi's sallow and thin face and squeezed out a smile. It was hard to tell whether the smile was relief or had a deeper meaning. Su Zi didn't rush to say goodbye, but the next moment Aunt Tao started coughing violently again.
"Mother, mother," Tao Simei stretched out her little hands anxiously to help Aunt Tao rub her back, but because she was short and couldn't reach her, she was so anxious that she just yelled, "Mother, mother..."
Su Zi looked at the three people who suddenly appeared in front of her, and felt a strange feeling in her heart.
Just now, she was still thinking that she was a person who had been abandoned since birth. If she were to be taken back, she would undoubtedly be a burden. Would Aunt Tao take her two children away and abandon her again?
But when the three Tao family members appeared in front of them again, Su Zi couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad.
"Let me come, third brother and fourth sister, I found some wild fruits, you can eat them." Passing the small package made of a small coat into the hands of Tao Third Brother, Su Zi helped Aunt Tao sit down and said softly.
: "I have eaten those fruits before at my adoptive father's place, and there will be nothing wrong with them."
Aunt Tao nodded, looking at Su Zi who was also thin but healthy in front of her with a strange look in her turbid eyes, so fast that Su Zi couldn't catch her.
"Mom, it's so delicious. You should eat some too." Tao Sandi grabbed a handful and stuffed it into Aunt Tao's hand.
Looking at the finger-sized red fruit in her hand, and then at Third Brother Tao and Fourth Sister Tao who were devouring it, Aunt Tao smiled and said softly: "Mom, you guys are not hungry."
Su Zi glanced at Aunt Tao. She was so hungry that her hands were trembling, but she still said she was not hungry! She sighed and said softly: "You should eat some too. When you are full, we will look for more and bring some back to eat at home."
.”
Aunt Tao wanted to refuse, but Sister Tao had already stuffed the wild fruit into her mouth and said softly: "Mom, you eat it, it's delicious."
As soon as the sweet and sour taste entered her mouth, Mrs. Tao wanted to swallow it with her tongue.
You know, they have been without food for almost half a month. During this time, the three of them have relied on the villagers to support them.
However, Taojia Village is not a wealthy village. Every family has many children but few fields. Taojia Village is also a barren mountain and bad water. It cannot rely on mountains or water. There will be temporary sympathy, but there is no sympathy for a lifetime even if you want to.
That capital!
Mrs. Tao tried her best to save the meals donated by the villagers for her two children, and she almost had to drink cold water to survive!
Su Zi saw that she was very hungry but was eating very carefully, and from time to time she would look at Tao's third brother, Tao's fourth sister, for fear that they would not be able to eat if she ate. Her heart ached, and she took a breath and said softly: "
Don't worry, we will survive."
Aunt Tao was stunned, but when she saw the panicked looks of Third Brother Tao and Fourth Sister Tao looking at her, she nodded and said, "Yes, we will survive, and the eldest brother will come back to find us."
Brother?
Su Zi looked at Aunt Tao in confusion, "Who is the eldest brother?"
"The eldest brother is your brother," Aunt Tao looked at Su Zi and said softly: "When the eldest brother was ten years old, he followed a general who was rescued by a hunter in the village. He said that when he became successful, he would
Will come back to us."
Ten years old! Su Zi was silent. She didn't want to hurt Aunt Tao. She knew that maybe it was this hope that made Aunt Tao persist. So she smiled and said to her third brother and fourth sister: "Yes, he will definitely come back to us.
, then we can eat delicious food and wear nice clothes."
For children, nothing is more important than food and clothing!
Seeing the light in the eyes of Tao Third Brother and Tao Fourth Sister, Su Zi turned her head away slightly.
To live, we must live.
Life is a one-way ticket. She doesn't believe that other people are having a wonderful time traveling through time, but she can't even achieve basic survival!
After Tao's third brother and Tao's fourth sister had eaten, Su Zi helped Aunt Tao and the family walked back to Taojia Village.
Because Tao Zisu was sent away from childhood, no matter what Su Zi asked, Aunt Tao would always answer them in a good-natured manner. But it was only limited to some superficial things, such as how many people were in the village and what else was at home.
People, in the village, who has a good heart and who is hard to talk to.
Su Zi didn't dare to ask about other things, such as dynasties, emperors, etc. She was afraid that even if she asked, Aunt Tao wouldn't know.
While talking, he returned to Taojia Village.
Children from the village gathered around from a distance, pointing at Su Zi and asking Aunt Tao, "Auntie, isn't she dead? How come she's alive again?"
"My second sister is not dead, she just held her breath." Third brother Tao explained to the children who gathered around him.
Not long after, some villagers gathered around, looked at Su Zi and said to Aunt Tao: "This is another mouthful, my wife, you are living like this..." Before he finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed.
Aunt Tao lowered her eyebrows and was too sad to speak.
Tao's third brother and Tao's fourth sister grabbed it and said, "My second sister knows how to find wild fruits."
Su Zi lowered her head and took Tao's third brother and Tao's fourth sister, one on the left and the other on the right, "Mom, let's go back first."
Aunt Tao nodded, and Su Zi took her two younger siblings home.
Behind me, Mrs. Tao's suppressed and choked voice sounded, "I won't be able to survive much longer..."
