Chapter 17 The Peanuts and the Hare
Nangong Anshan said: "Even if you drink, we can still hold on, your life is at stake."
Mrs. Yu thanked her again and again, and then continued to drink porridge.
Thinking that her son had not eaten rice for several days, she forced him to drink several mouthfuls.
After Wei Zhongshan finished his porridge, he glanced at the bamboo tube and said, "Ashan, next time I encounter a water source, I will wash it and return it to you."
Nangong Anshan said: "It's okay. I'll give it to you. Just think of it as a tool to hold water."
"Thank you, Ashan."
After Eishi recovered, Zhou Lizheng allowed them to continue their journey.
Mrs. Qiu has been following Nangong Anshan and her family since the past two days.
Seeing them actually giving the precious porridge to outsiders, their eyes turned red with jealousy.
It’s really too much!
Nangong Anshan felt someone staring at her from behind. When she turned around, she saw her grandparents, aunt, second aunt, and people from the third room staring at her.
"If you stare again, I'll pluck your eyes out!"
Those people didn't know why, but they suddenly felt pain in their eyes and quickly looked away.
"Humph." Nangong Anshan turned around and continued pushing the person.
Yang Ruolan sat on the cart, looked at the food they had left, and suddenly became sad.
There are now seven people in their family, and they are all growing up. There is not much food in the baskets now, and it is estimated that they will not be enough to eat today.
Nangong Anshan naturally saw what A Niang was worried about, but she didn't say anything.
Now that she has six merits, she can bring out a lot of food. It just requires her to think of excuses.
This time, like the places we passed before, the places we passed were all bare, which made the people in Qingshan Village anxious.
It was already noon. Zhou Lizheng originally wanted to stop, but seeing that there was no water or food at the rest area, he had to bite the bullet and let everyone continue walking.
After all, they saw a mountain in front of them, and there should be food if there is a mountain.
Everyone had no objection and continued walking.
Finally, they came to the foot of a mountain.
Zhou Lizheng looked at the map and said to all his children: "According to the map, in order to reach King Li's fiefdom as soon as possible, we need to get to Hanshui City first. It only takes us two days to climb over this mountain. If we bypass this
We need to spend five days on the mountain. You can ask the leaders to see how they want to go. But please rest assured that this mountain is famously safe because there are so many people walking on it. It has never been violent.
The beast appeared."
"yes."
After a while his children all came back.
"Dad, they all said that we would go over the mountain."
"Okay." Zhou Lizheng said: "Then let's rest where we are. When we wake up early tomorrow morning, we will go up the mountain."
This place is not bad, at least it can let them see some green.
Everyone relaxed immediately, those who had food began to cook, and those who had no food began to look for food at the foot of the mountain.
Nangong Anshan poured all the rice into the pot, which was only enough for three people, and it was still porridge.
Mrs. Qiu was next door. She saw at a glance that Nangong Anshan didn't have much rice. She said proudly: "You didn't know how to save before and ate dry rice every day. Just now you gave the food to others. Let me see what you eat. Tell me.
You, we all still have some food, and we can still hold on for many days."
Nangong Miaoye mocked: "People like you can only go hungry."
Nangong Anshan raised her eyebrows and said, "Who said this is all I have?"
"Don't be so harsh." Qiu said sarcastically: "Do you know how many people have disliked you during this period? You are still eating dry rice, eggs, and pancakes every day when you are escaping. It is really life-threatening. I advise you,
It's better to run faster and pick wild vegetables and dig grass roots to eat, so as not to end up with nothing."
Nangong Anshan snorted, "Don't worry, our food is guaranteed to be a hundred times better than yours."
After saying that, she asked her second brother to watch over the family and make porridge from the remaining rice, while she walked up the mountain carrying the basket on her back.
Ms. Qiu and her family said, "Just wait and see. When she can't find anything to eat, she will come back and ask us for it. We must not give it to her and let them starve."
"Yes, Aniang."
But not long after, Nangong Anshan came back. From a distance, her backpack seemed to be full of things.
When she came to her family, she placed the basket in front of them.
Everyone in the Nangong family opened their eyes in surprise.
Yang Ruolan said: "This...is this peanut? Are there peanuts on the mountain? And these peanuts are in good quality."
Nangong Anshan said: "Well, there is, but I only found that area, and I didn't look around."
When the merit is five, she can redeem peanuts, either without soil or with soil. In order to deceive others, she asked Taile Boy to give her peanuts with soil.
Yang Ruolan and the children breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
They were also very satisfied with the peanuts. There were at least dozens of kilograms of peanuts in the backpack, so they could not go hungry for several days.
Ah Shan was indeed right. God really gave her good luck, allowing her to find food easily.
Nangong Anshan opened another cloth bag and revealed the hare inside.
Everyone was shocked, "Rabbit?"
Nangong Anshan said: "Yes, let's make rabbit meat stewed with peanuts tonight."
Yang Ruolan and the children were immediately looking forward to it. They would have meat to eat tonight.
Mrs. Qiu and her daughter and granddaughters were shocked when they saw Nangong Anshan actually found hares and peanuts.
Nangong Anshan noticed the gazes of Qiu and others, and said with a smile: "I disappoint you, I will have meat to eat tonight."
Qiu's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, but she still licked her face and asked, "Where did you find your hare and peanuts?"
Nangong Anshan pointed in one direction, looking very generous, and said: "It's right there."
Qiu and her family immediately stopped wasting time and left one person to cook while the others ran there.
People nearby also heard what Nangong Anshan said, and followed Qiu and others before it got completely dark.
They don't want to catch rabbits, they just want to dig up peanuts.
Peanuts can be stored for a long time if stored properly.
Nangong Sheng saw this and said: "Ah Shan, why don't we go there too? There are many of us, and we will definitely be able to bring more this time. Don't give Ah Nai and the others an advantage."
"Second brother, don't worry. I'm not stupid. Qiu is going to sell me. How can I find food for her? I'm sure there's nothing around anymore, but there are other things."
"what?"
"We'll find out later."
