In the whole morning, Nanzhi pressed a total of about [-] catties of chestnuts, and looked at the half-full basket, Nanzhi sat slumped on the side.

The weather is too hot now, even if you hide in the shade of a tree or move a little, you will sweat all over your body.

After coming here for three days, she felt that she already stinks.

Nan Zhi sat on the side resting and secretly disliked herself, but Mrs. Liu was very active in picking it up, even though she was already drenched in sweat, she still didn't stop her movements.

As long as I pick up a few more chestnuts, my grandson can have more rations.

Although Nanzhi was not as proficient at pressing chestnuts at the beginning, after a while, he filled a basket full of chestnuts in the morning, which was about ten catties heavier than what Nanzhi picked up.

"Girl Lin, let's carry the chestnut back later, shall we do it a few more times?"

Aunt Liu wiped the sweat off her face, she still looked excited, not tired at all.

"it is good."

Nan Zhi just felt that she was too imaginary, not even a woman in her 40s.

The two of them made an agreement to wait until noon before going back. Now that the weather is scorching hot, people in Lihua Village have the habit of taking a nap at home at noon.

They could just take advantage of that moment to go back without being afraid of bumping into others.

The three of them ate lunch, and Nanzhi pulled some mother-in-law and wild garlic to cover the basket. Aunt Liu saw Nanzhi's movements and then pulled some wild grass to cover it.

One person picked a larger leaf and put it on his head before he went down the mountain with a basket on his back.

When she got home, Nan Zhi felt that she was half dead, and the skin on her shoulders that hadn't yet scabbed was worn out again.

"Aniang, do we have to go to Dongshan later?" Gou'er was a little worried when he saw his mother was so exhausted.

Today, when Nanzhi was pressing chestnuts, the dog was on the side to help pick up the bare chestnuts. Later, because he couldn't keep up with Nanzhi's speed, he went to the side with his small basket.

Picking up those chestnuts that fell on the ground, I also picked up a full basket all morning.

"Well, Granny Liu and we have to go to Dongshan to pick up more chestnuts later." Nanzhi sighed.

She wants to stock up more food at home, she doesn't want to be the first person in the history to be starved to death.

Looking at the dusty dog, Nan Zhi didn't even dare to touch his face now, not because she thought the dog was dirty, but because she already had a slightly sour smell all over her body.

Thinking that Uncle Lizheng would tell the villagers about the chestnut in Dongshan the day after tomorrow, Nanzhi shook his head and got rid of other things in his mind.

She plans to go to the mountains with Aunt Liu two more times, take a good bath with the dog at home at noon tomorrow, and borrow Aunt Liu's donkey cart in the afternoon to go to the town to sell chestnuts for food.

Although there are a lot of wild chestnuts on the mountain, if everyone in the village knows about it, I am afraid that I and the dog will not be able to pick up a few catties.

When she just came back, she looked at the river at the end of the village.

Now that the river bed has been exposed in the river, seeing that there is not much water left, she wants to look for it in the river bed. After all, although it is dry now, there must still be some fish in the river, and she rummages in the memory of the original owner. However, people here don't seem to have the habit of eating fish.

Otherwise, the original owner might not starve to death even if he fished it in the river.

After resting at home for a while, Aunt Liu came to knock on the door. Even if she wanted to be lazy, Nan Zhi, a skinny little dog, just gritted her teeth and got up.

The sun was scorching hot, Nanzhi felt dizzy and swollen, and finally went into Dongshan and under the shade of trees, and Nanzhi felt better.

Nanzhi always had a premonition that it would not rain before the autumn harvest.

Not even a drop of rain will fall after the autumn harvest.

Nanzhi was a little bit powerless all afternoon, and Aunt Liu brought a basket in the afternoon. Seeing that Aunt Liu had already filled it all up, Nanzhi only weighed less than thirty catties.

"Lin girl, what's wrong with you?"

Aunt Liu looked at Nan Zhi's appearance and was also a little worried. Lin Yatou is now bringing a dog, an orphan, a widow, and two people. If she doesn't take advantage of the time to pick up more chestnuts, she still doesn't know what to do.

"No, it's okay." Nan Zhi waved her hand, she felt that she might have some heatstroke.

There is no Huoxiang Zhengqi water here, if the heatstroke is severe, I am afraid that I will die of heatstroke before I starve to death.

Aunt Liu didn't believe Nan Zhi's words, seeing her exhausted, she might have been stunned.

"Madam Lin, have you been raped?"

Nanzhi didn't answer in a daze, staring at the tree above him in a daze.

It was more than half an hour when she woke up again, looking at the sleeping dog Nan Zhi lying on top of her, she was a little dazed.

She remembered that she was pressing chestnuts, how could she fall asleep?

Aunt Liu came over to pick up the dog when she saw Nan Zhi woke up, "Are you awake? You have a stroke, I gave you a Sha, just go back and rest for a while."

After finishing speaking, he put the dog on the side of the open space and continued to press the chestnut.

Seeing that his pannier was full, Nan Zhi was moved for a moment.

As soon as I wanted to get up, I felt some pain in the crooks of my hands. When I opened my sleeves, I found that the crooks of my hands were all black and purple, which looked very scary.

After a daze, she remembered that the old man had taught her that if you have a heat stroke, if you don't have a scraping board and oil, you can relieve the symptoms of heat stroke by pulling your neck and bending your hands.

"Thank you, Aunt Liu."

What Nan Zhi said was serious, Aunt Liu had saved her life.

"What's the matter, it's just a matter of helping hands." Aunt Liu shook her head and continued with her hands.

"I should be the one to thank you. These chestnuts are life-saving things."

Nanzhi didn't refute, but only recorded Aunt Liu's feelings in her heart.

In fact, she told Aunt Liu that she had selfish intentions. After all, even if she kept the chestnut forest a secret, as long as it didn't rain, someone would come to Dongshan to find food.

As long as people come to Dongshan, such a large chestnut forest will definitely not be able to hide, so it's better to say it first.

Tell Aunt Liu that one is that she will borrow donkey carts frequently if she wants to go to the town, and it is not good to be cheeky every time, and the other is that Aunt Liu helps her family the most, and she just repays the favor.

It was still early, and Nanzhi also took a rest for a while, then secretly carried the chestnuts home with Mrs. Liu, and then went into the mountain again.

The three of them were in a hurry, but no one noticed Wu Shi who was following them.

Mrs. Wu originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was no one at the well at the entrance of the village, so she could fetch more water from the well and go home, but she happened to see Aunt Liu and Nanzhi walking back to the mountain with their baskets on their backs.

Immediately, he thought about it, and followed behind secretly.

There used to be wolves in Dongshan, but she didn't believe that Nanzhi would be willing to take the dog to die, and Aunt Liu followed with a basket on her back, maybe there was something good on Dongshan.

With an idea in mind, Mrs. Wu followed secretly all the way. It wasn't until she saw the chestnut forest that she felt that she had discovered some big secret.

She said that Nanzhi's cheap man must not be a good person, and Aunt Liu looked so kind and kind in normal times, didn't she hide such a big chestnut forest now and didn't tell them?

Spit secretly, Wu Shi sneaked down the mountain again. If she went back and told her mother-in-law about this, her mother-in-law would definitely praise her.

Because of the joy in her heart, Wu could be said to be running all the way down the mountain, fearing that she would be scolded again if she returned late.

Leaving aside how proud Mrs. Wu is, both Nan Zhizheng and Aunt Liu are still working hard.
