Chapter 3 Finding Food
"Fourth brother, fifth brother, little sister, are you awake?"
Nangong Cheng and Nangong Mo are twins, seven years old this year.
Nangong Yao is five years old this year.
As soon as Nangong Cheng opened his eyes, he was still a little confused at first. Hearing his sister's voice, he quickly followed the voice and saw her looking at him. He immediately woke up and asked, "Sister, aren't you sleeping?
?”
After saying that, he felt something was wrong. This was not the place where he went to sleep.
Nangong Mo and Nangong Yao also woke up and were a little stunned when they saw where they were.
"Why are we here?"
"Sister, where is grandma? Where are second brother and third brother?"
Nangong Anshan would not hide anything from the children just because she was afraid of hurting their young minds, so she told them everything that had happened before.
Nangong Mo was shocked when he heard this: "No wonder my clothes are wet."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Nangong Yao suddenly started crying and said, "Grandma is so abominable, Grandma is so bad."
Nangong Cheng and Nangong Mo also lowered their heads, never expecting that their grandma would be so vicious and actually sold them.
But how did Ajie save them from the adults?
Nangong Cheng suddenly said: "Sister, we are all gone, what will happen to my mother?"
Nangong Anshan said: "Don't worry, the second brother and the third brother are definitely guarding my mother now. They can protect her well. Everyone, hurry up and dry your clothes. You have slept for so long just now, so you are probably not very sleepy anymore."
After drying it, we went to chase my mother and brothers. It’s not yet dawn, so they are probably still resting.”
The three of them nodded at the same time: "Yes, Sister."
But as soon as the three of them took off their clothes, their stomachs began to growl at the same time.
When they fled, they were in such a hurry that they couldn't bring anything to eat.
The old lady of the Nangong family actually asked the children and grandchildren of the second and third bedrooms to carry out a lot of food, but because she didn't like their family and the family was divided, she didn't give them any food at all. They had to find it all on the road.
Only by eating can I persist until now.
Nangong Anshan said: "I'm hungry too. Just wait a moment and I'll find something to eat for you."
Nangong Cheng hurriedly said: "Sister, we are not hungry, it is dangerous for you to go alone."
Someone wanted to buy them just now, and I don’t know if those people have any accomplices. What if Sister A is arrested?
Just as the fire was burning, Nangong Anshan saw her brothers and sisters looking at her worriedly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't go far, I'll go to the water."
She saw a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs in the water just now. She had to avoid water beads, so she just picked up fish, shrimps and crabs when she got into the water.
They also came to this river during the day, but the weather was cold and the water was deep. Few people dared to go into the water, so they didn't know that there were so many fish, shrimps and crabs at the bottom.
Although there is food in the space, there is no condition to make merit for her now, and it is difficult for her to find a reason to give it out.
Go to the water?
Nangong Cheng finally realized that something was wrong with what sister just said, and said doubtfully: "Sister, don't you know how to swim?"
Nangong Anshan coughed lightly and said uncomfortably: "I just learned it. Floating is actually not too difficult. I learned it when I fell."
After saying that, she took off her coat, held it in her hands, and suddenly jumped into the water.
The original owner did not know how to swim, but she who traveled through time could.
The three brothers and sisters suddenly felt excited and hurried to the lake.
Even though there was moonlight, at a glance, they didn't even see the shadow of Nangong Anshan.
"The water is very deep at first glance. Nothing will happen to my sister, right?"
"No, sister just saved the three of us. She will be fine for sure."
"Sister, sister, come up quickly. A-Yao doesn't want any food. A-Yao wants sister."
At this time, Nangong Anshan was happily picking up fish, shrimps and crabs in the water seven or eight meters away from the shore, and put them all on her clothes.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs here, especially fish. The largest fish she picked up was estimated to be four or five pounds, and the river shrimps and crabs were also quite big.
After a while, she felt that she had almost picked it up and walked quickly to the shore.
Of course, in order to ensure that she would not run out of food when escaping later, she also picked up a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs and put them into the space pond.
In order to avoid being discovered, she did not go up from where she had just come down, but walked upstream.
As soon as we landed, we heard the worried voices of our brothers and sisters.
"Don't worry, I'm here. Sister, I'm blessed with great fortune, so I won't die that easily."
The three brothers and sisters turned to look at the sound and saw their sister standing behind them with wet hair and holding a bunch of things unscathed. They all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Nangong Cheng said: "Sister, just be fine."
Nangong Anshan found a thin stone nearby that could be used as a knife. After knocking the fish unconscious, she began to disembowel it.
Nangong Cheng and his brothers and sisters looked at the fish, shrimps and crabs, and their saliva immediately flowed out.
Their family was poor and had not eaten meat for a long time.
Nangong Anshan cleaned up the seven big fish, broke some branches, and then returned to the fire.
After taking a look at the shrimps and crabs, she thought it would be better to roast them, so she broke off several branches, skewered all the remaining shrimps and crabs, and placed them all on large clean leaves.
She gave everyone a fish and asked them to grill it by themselves. "This is the condition now. You will grill it and eat it. I will find other delicious things for you to eat in the future."
The three brothers and sisters hurriedly said:
"Sister, we don't mind you."
"This is meat. It's good to have meat."
"Yes, it's not easy for my sister to find these."
Nangong Anshan smiled happily and started grilling the meat.
While roasting, her consciousness entered the space again, "Taylor boy, how much merit does salt need?"
Although they shouldn't be particular about this situation, salt is necessary for the body, and they won't have the strength to escape without it.
Tai Le boy said: "Five merits."
"If you take it in advance, how much can you take out?"
"Two pounds."
"Then if I still need it later, I have to pay back fifty merit points?"
"No, you have already owed thirty merits before. In total, you need eighty merits before you can use it at will. But now you can find various seeds. When the merits reach ten, you will reap what you sow.
Once you get it, you can directly exchange it for salt. The more things you harvest, the more salt you can exchange for."
Nangong Anshan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Then give me two bags of salt."
Tai Le boy said: "I changed the packaging to paper and coarse salt. Please be careful when using it and don't spill it."
"Thank you."
Nangong Anshan asked Nangong Cheng to take his skewer of grilled fish, stood up and said: "Wait for me for a while, I will see if there is anything that can replace the salt. Even wild fruits, which have a bit of sourness, can be put on the grilled meat."
OK."
