Lin Xiaoman planted so many sweet potatoes in the deep mountains and old forests, but outside the mountains, the famine became more and more serious.
The old man and his wife of the Shao family once again took advantage of the silence of the night to take their belts and hang themselves from the beam.
Lin Xiaoman, who was guarding the scene invisibly, secretly poked and loosened the knot, and the two fell off one after another.
This movement suddenly woke up the others.
Next, a group of people cried and cried because of the food problem. Several sons and daughters-in-law cried bitterly and shouted that they could not starve their parents to death even if they starve to death!
After crying bitterly, the old couple temporarily gave up on the idea of committing suicide.
The next day, the four grown men of the Shao family, as well as many young and strong men in the village, gathered together under the leadership of the village chief's burly son.
The village chief's son brought a big knife that the old man in the family used to chop small things, and a group of men carried baskets and tools and weapons on their backs and entered the mountain in a mighty manner.
There are jackals and even blind tigers and bears in the deep mountains. On weekdays, the villagers dare not go deep into the mountains at all, so they just pick up some mountain products at the edge of the mountains.
But these days, life can no longer go on. Everything edible at the foot of the mountain, including bark, grass and roots, has been stripped clean. I can only risk my life and go deep into the forest to find food.
The men in the village gathered together and marched deep into the forest. After cutting through the thorn bushes and deep into the forest, they soon spotted the lush sweet potato vines.
“It’s the sweet potato vine!”
With a shout, everyone was excited and worked harder to cut a path, then swarmed over and dug up sweet potatoes.
Digging sweet potatoes in full swing...
Soon the baskets on their backs were all filled, and all the sweet potatoes they could carry on their bodies were filled with sweet potatoes. Everyone was too full to carry any more, but the sweet potato vines still looked endless. Everyone went down the mountain excitedly, running around telling each other.
Unable to wait for the next day, the village chief immediately organized an organization, and the whole village, men, women, and children, brought rattan baskets, tools, flashlights, torches and other lighting objects, and once again went deep into the forest.
People were arranged to stand guard to keep an eye out for wild animals, and the villagers raced against time to dig up sweet potatoes.
Among the crowd, almost the entire Shao family was out in force. Anyone who could run or move was out in force, and everyone worked hard to dig sweet potatoes.
Lin Xiaoman was hiding in the dark, facing Shao Qi, who was still a teenager, and had a special urge to take pictures as a souvenir. Unfortunately, the system was down! Alas...
There were more people and more movement. As the sun went down, wild beasts looking for food in the mountains were attracted one after another. The first to bear the brunt was a group of about twenty wild wolves.
Lin Xiaoman: Very good, food delivered to your door.
A combination of meat and vegetables is nutritious.
"There are wild wolves, wild wolves!" Accompanied by the shouts of the sentinel villagers, the villagers who were digging sweet potatoes stopped one after another and stood ready with hoes, sickles and other weapons.
Soon, a battle for survival over 'food' broke out.
After the fight started, Lin Xiaoman, who was hiding in the dark, secretly poked and threw out immobilizing spells with no apparent effect.
Plunging into the crowd, the nimble wolf paused for a moment before being stabbed in the neck, eyes, and stomach by the men...
With the secret help of Lin Xiaoman, dozens of wild wolves were quickly killed by the villagers. The other wild wolves saw that something was wrong and fled in despair with their tails between their legs.
The scrupulous villagers naturally did not dare to pursue him.
In order to prevent the wolves from retaliating, after all, wild wolves are very vengeful creatures. It is not impossible for wild wolves to go down the mountain and kill several villagers in the middle of the night. Lin Xiaoman chased after them alone, far away from the crowd.
After that, letting go means killing.
Within a few seconds, she had wiped out all the wild wolves.
After solving the hidden danger, Lin Xiaoman rushed back and found that the village chief was already organizing a retreat. Everyone in the village started going down the mountain with a lot of sweet potatoes.
After successfully returning to the village, everyone's faces were beaming with joy, and the sadness they had felt for the past few days was blown away at this moment.
Seeing that many of Shao Qi's people had returned home intact, Lin Xiaoman went up the mountain again and secretly replanted a patch of sweet potatoes.
As for food, the more the better.
So, let her work harder and be more diverse.
After a night that was particularly difficult due to excitement, the next morning, when it was just dawn, everyone in the village spontaneously gathered together, carrying various tools, and went up the mountain to dig sweet potatoes again.
In the days that followed, the daily routine of everyone in the village was to get up early and go into the mountains in the dark to dig sweet potatoes. Because of the loud noise, not only the beasts in the mountains were alarmed, but also several neighboring villages noticed something unusual.
The teams that go into the mountains to dig sweet potatoes are getting bigger day by day.
Wild beasts, whether they were jackals, tigers, leopards, bears, blind people, Lin Xiaoman was here anyway, and after secretly beating them to death, a huge sweet potato digging team, relying on the strength of many people, could kill each person with a hammer.
But sweet potatoes are becoming less and less.
Planting too hard, the feeling of disharmony is too strong.
Lin Xiaoman stopped, and soon all the sweet potatoes were dug up by villagers from several nearby villages who heard the news.
After the sweet potatoes were gone, the people who lacked food and clothing began to pay attention to the wild animals. Because of Lin Xiaoman's intervention, almost all the ferocious beasts in the mountains were killed.
There are no dangerous things, so the danger level plummets. Even without the sweet potatoes, there are always many people looking for food in the mountains.
Although the Shao family dug thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes during the sweet potato digging operation, the family had a large population and consumed them very quickly.
Afraid that someone would starve to death or die in other ways, Lin Xiaoman secretly fed him. Today, a pheasant with injured wings fluttered in front of him and was caught by Uncle Shao. Tomorrow, a stupid rabbit hit and died in front of Uncle Shao, and the day after tomorrow
It was a wild roe deer that stumbled and fell from the mountain and died in front of Shao's father. The day after tomorrow, Uncle Shao picked up a sheep with a broken leg...
Anyway, the four men of the Shao family can always pick up something when they go into the mountains.
Finally, this difficult time passed.
No one in the Shao family was missing, and no one in the entire village even died of starvation, with only three accidental deaths.
After successfully surviving this calamity, Lin Xiaoman began to feel relaxed about fishing again.
Time flew by, and several years passed, and then it was time for military recruitment, and the butterfly effect came that made Lin Xiaoman dumbfounded.
Each of the four houses of the Shao family sent a man to serve as a soldier, and the third Shao family, that is, the Shao Qi family, went to serve as a soldier. The eldest brother, Shao Qi's biological brother, Shao Qingguo, was supposed to be drowned.
Lin Xiaoman:......
this??
Is there any impact?
It probably has some influence!
Past experience tells Lin Xiaoman that she cannot directly fan up the tragedy, but must jump out and save the situation at that critical moment when the tragedy first appears!
Shao Qingguo went to join the army, and everything behind him was in chaos!
