take the system to escape

Chapter 184 Get used to being poor

This old woman who looks to be in her 30s or [-]s is actually not that old. She is only in her [-]s, at the mature age of a woman, but she is haggard under the torture of life.

Ran Yue felt that she had to get used to being poor. Her character this time was a poor poor man with no special status, talent, or beauty. She was just an ordinary poor girl, an eight-year-old girl who lived all year round. Poor little girl who is hungry.

Ran Yue is very poor now, she and the old woman are the only ones in the family, which is her current mother, Xiuying.My father went out to Jiangcheng to make a living in his early years, but he didn't come back for many years. At first, he still sent letters and money back, but then he didn't hear from him at all. It was said that he was dead.The grandparents starved to death in the famine the year before last. As for the grandparents, the little girl Lianhua doesn't have them in her memory, so they probably are gone.

Since her father left home, the burden of the family has been on Xiuying, but no matter how capable she is, she is just a low-level woman. There is no way to make money in the impoverished countryside. The family has always been in distress, especially in the year before last. After He Hua's grandparents starved to death, the family lost the help of the two old people, and the situation became even worse.In the past few years, Hehua has never seen what kind of rice is. She usually eats vegetable leaves and wheat bran, but recently she can't even see the wheat bran, because Xiuying is sick and can't move at home. I found a way to help others, and I ate up everything at home.

The situation is tense these days, and the neighbors are also unable to protect themselves. There is no extra food to be a good person, so the mother and daughter have been drinking plain water for several days.

After Ran Yue noticed that Xiuying's forehead was very hot, she took her pulse, and judged that she had suffered from a wind-cold. It was nothing to suffer from a wind-cold, just take some medicine and take care of herself, but Xiuying didn't take care of herself at all. Capital, so it will get heavier and heavier.

But now that Ran Yue is here, as long as she exchanges a special medicine from the system, the disease can be cured. But after that, Ran Yue didn't exchange the special medicine immediately to cure Xiuying. But life is still difficult.

"Hey, what kind of world is this? It's really difficult to live." Ran Yue shook her head, and was going to go outside to collect some firewood, pick some wild vegetables by the way, and hunt a rabbit back to prepare for cooking.She quietly ate a steamed bun, and she was still not so hungry, but the white flour steamed bun was really hard to get out, so she could only get some wild game first.

Walking out of the gate, almost all the gates of the people in the village are closed, and the whole village reveals a sense of depression and coldness.

From the memory of Hehua, Ran Yue knew that the reason why the village became like this was not only because of natural disasters but also because of man-made disasters. The petty officials also went to the countryside from time to time to get some oil and water, and the village that had no oil and water forcibly squeezed a few drops of oil from the villagers' bone marrow.

"Lotus, what are you doing?" There was a half-grown child lying under the big tree at the entrance of the village, as thin as a monkey, not only him, most people in the village were as thin as a stick of firewood.

"Go and collect some firewood, Zhuzhu, why are you lying here?" Ran Yue greeted the child abruptly, because Hehua was such a girl who was not good at words.

"Hungry, my mother thinks my lying at home is in the way, so let me go out and lie down." Zhu Zi spread his hands, feeling helpless.

"Oh, then you can continue to lie down." Ran Yue ignored the pillars and continued walking towards the outside of the village.

"Forget it, let me go with you, you are a girl, don't be trafficked." Zhu Zhu got up unsteadily, and he followed Ran Yue with his light body.

"No, who's going to abduct me when I'm like this?" Ran Yue knew that Zhu Zhu had good intentions, because a child was actually sold in the village, but that was a few years ago, and the child was not abducted, but Because the family was poor, the family took the initiative to sell it.

Zhu Zi pretended not to hear the refusal in Ran Yue's words, and still chose to follow Ran Yue, which made Ran Yue feel helpless. If someone followed her, she would have no way to use some methods.

There is still a lot of firewood in the woods outside the village, but there are no wild vegetables. Even if there are, they have been planed out by the hungry villagers long ago.

Ran Yue bundled up the firewood, threw it to the pillar, and then walked towards the depths of the forest.

Zhuzi hurriedly shouted: "Lotus, what are you doing? There are wild beasts in the forest, and children cannot go in!"

Ran Yue rolled her eyes and said, "I'm just going to relieve my hand, you help me look at the firewood."

The heart held by the pillar finally let go, and he smiled foolishly: "Oh, then go and come back quickly, I'll wait for you."

After a while, Ran Yue came back with a blank expression, carrying a rabbit.

"rabbit!"

"Where did it come from?"

Ran Yue could clearly see the drooling from the corner of Zhu Zi's mouth, and couldn't help laughing.

Of course she didn't go to relieve herself. While collecting firewood, she found traces of a rabbit, so she took the opportunity to search in the woods. Sure enough, she soon caught a silly rabbit. What kind of food can a rabbit make? Griddle, braise, stew, barbecue...

Ran Yue swallowed, and said calmly: "This silly rabbit knocked itself into a tree and knocked itself out, and then I took advantage of it."

Zhuzi said enviously: "Lotus, you are so lucky. No matter how small a rabbit is, it is still meat. I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

Zhuzi's father is a hunter, and their family used to have no shortage of meat at all, but a few years ago his father was conscripted into corvee and got injured all over his body. He has no way to go hunting anymore, and their family's life has also plummeted.

Thinking of the empty home, Ran Yue's heart moved, and she said, "Zhuzi, do you have any salt and vegetables at home? If you have, you can steal some and I'll add vegetables for you!"

Zhu Zi immediately said: "Yes, yes, this is meat, are you really willing to give it to me?"

Ran Yue rolled her eyes at him elegantly, and said: "I like to eat or not, my mother is still sick, so I can only give her some soup, you have taken a big deal."

Zhu Zi scratched his head, and said with a simple and honest smile: "Haha, Lotus, you are so kind!"

Ran Yue hid the unlucky rabbit in the pile of firewood and smuggled back home. Now that the village is so difficult, if she swaggers back with a rabbit, it will definitely cause some unnecessary troubles, so it's better to keep a low profile .

And Zhu Zi quickly stole some cabbage and seasoning from home, and the hot rabbit stew came out quickly.
