"Don't be lazy at home, hurry up and find something to come back to eat." The old woman urged.

Meng Li looked at her angrily: "Mom, can't you speak nicely? You have to say those ugly words to ruin people's mood."

"Then I want to? I don't have the mood to say flatter you if I live like this."

The old woman rubbed her hands and put her hands into the water, but the water was no longer warm, so she immediately took it out again.

Meng Li had no choice but to take the basket under the eaves and turn around and leave. The basket was made of bamboo and was cold and cold, so there was no warmth in this house.

It was just beginning of spring and I couldn’t find much when I entered the mountain, but it was hard to get over it. Now that the family lacked food, I had to find some wild vegetable roots. If I had good luck, I would be the best if I could meet pheasants and hares. I had to pick up some firewood and go back. If I had nothing to do, I would go up the mountain to pick up firewood and sell it for some money.

But in fact, there are poor families around. When they are free, they always search on the mountain. There are not many things that can be found. The firewood you pick up is enough for the family. It is unrealistic to sell the excess.

Meng Li went up the mountain with a basket on his back. He thought it was useful and picked it up. Dew was everywhere. Her clothes were wet and became even colder. Fortunately, there was a little sunshine slowly coming out, and she dried her clothes again. She raised her head and faced the sun. The warmth came. She squinted her eyes and couldn't help but smile.

This smile made her embarrassed, and her face hurt because it was too cold before and there was no nutrition throughout the winter, so it was even more impossible to have hydrating things, so that her face was too dry and stiff.

I found some wild vegetables, some wild vegetables roots, picked up some firewood, and only half of the basket was filled. Even so, she had to find these things after walking a wide area. With her mental strength, there were still many families looking for things on the mountain. Everyone was having a hard time, but their family was the hardest to endure.

After all, there are many children, and the pillars of the family fell down again.

Meng Li sighed deeply and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to caress his stomach. It was too empty here and she was hungry.

Actually, it doesn’t matter if you are hungry. You also have nutritional agents, but this body has not been exposed to oil and water for too long. There is a desire for meat bursting deep in the body. This desire is always too strong and too greedy for meat.

Meat.

My family is poor and it is impossible to buy meat. Even if I buy it, I have to be scolded by the old woman, so I will count on the mountain.

There is always a pheasant, hare or something on this huge mountain. Meng Li released his mental power and searched for it. It took a long time to find a pheasant. The pheasant hid in the grass outside the woods. Meng Li quickly left a mark of mental power for it, and stop asking it to run away.

Then he hurried over and successfully caught a pheasant. The pheasant weighed a few pounds when lifted. Meng Li smiled slightly and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, he could eat meat.

This body is too lacking in oil and water, and it is hard to endure when used. You have to solve the needs deep in your body first.

I made the pheasant faint and placed it at the bottom of the basket, because I was afraid that my neighbors would see it and that my life would be too poor, so if someone saw it, they should come over with a bowl to ask for some meat.

But the family of seven people can't eat this chicken so they can't enjoy it. How can they give extra charity to others?

When she got home, she hid in the kitchen without saying a word. The old woman walked in quickly. She actually wanted to see what she had gained in the morning. Who knew that a fainted pheasant was found in the basket.

Her mouth was opened in surprise, enough to stuff an egg, Meng Li stretched out his index finger to press it against his lips: "Shh..."

The old woman understood very well, and immediately closed her mouth, then swallowed, and she said to Meng Li: "Is it caught on the mountain?"

Meng Li nodded: "Yes."

The old woman rubbed her hands, then reached out to touch the feathers on the back of the pheasant. She said, "This is quite fat."

"Yes." Meng Li's expression was faint.

No matter how fat and thin I found one, I wouldn't let it go even if it was a thin one.

The old woman immediately sighed: "The last time I found meat to eat was last winter, and Ren Da found it on the mountain."

Meng Li didn't say anything and wanted to kill the pheasant and pluck her hair. When the old woman saw Meng Li's attitude, she stopped her and hesitated. She said:

"How about we sell it and buy Ren Da some medicine to see his legs."

"This pheasant can't be sold much, and I can't buy any medicine. It's better to give Ren Da a supplement." Meng Li said without raising his head.

This body is too lacking in oil and water. If you don’t get eaten, you will feel panic. You are not at ease. Besides, you really can’t sell it for money. Ren Da’s legs will handle it yourself.

The old woman was a little angry: "You don't care about your husband either."

"I just know how to eat, you greedy woman."

Meng Li frowned slightly: "Mom, what does greed mean? Do I eat it alone? And the children, everyone is short of oil and water. How long has it been since the oil and water in their stomachs? Mom, don't you feel uncomfortable when you look at it? Are you really not greedy?"

"The last time I sold the food, I didn't make Ren Da's legs feel better. Is this chicken good enough?"

"You have learned to retaliate now, you are really going to make a fuss." The old woman was also angry, she couldn't bear to see Meng Li's attitude.

Meng Li was unwilling to argue with her. She was here to change the life of the client's family, not to deal with the old woman, so she slowed down her face and softened her tone:

"The children are all pitiful, Ren Da is also pitiful. I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so it's better to replenish it."

When the old woman saw Meng Li being softened again, she felt relieved. She snorted and said, "A greedy woman." Then she didn't say anything else.

"Eat later." It's time to cook anyway, so there is not much difference between eating in the morning and eating in the afternoon.

"I'll go and tell the children not to make noise." The old woman touched the feathers of the pheasant and said, "What a pity."

When she went out, Meng Li took out the pile of firewood found on the mountain and was on the side. Those were not too dry and could not be cooked. They had to be kept for a while, and there were still some wild vegetables, so she started to take care of them.

There are actually not many wild vegetables, but more are wild vegetable roots. No one wants to eat wild vegetable roots. Wild vegetable roots are the roots left by others who have removed the vegetables from them. The reason why the roots are left is that they feel that it is useless to take them home and keep them for new sprouts. People who leave wild vegetable roots are not extremely poor, even though they are poor, they are not as poor as eating wild vegetable roots.

In the past, the client only cut wild vegetables at home and did not pull out the roots, but now it is a helpless move to pull out even the roots.

In fact, these wild vegetables tasted really badly, especially without oil and water or ingredients, they could only be steamed in a pot. The taste tasted like chewing wax. Meng Li was thinking about how to make it delicious, but the four children rushed in and they came to see the pheasant.

I always feel that my grandmother is lying to them. I haven’t eaten meat for too long. Does meat really exist?
