At the beginning, I beat Lazy, and the host is cruel.

"Auntie, I'll leave this thing here for you first. I'll come back when I go."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll watch from here."

Aunt Shi didn't know what Qingcao was going to do, so she didn't ask anyone who didn't have any relatives.

At the end of Xia, I carried a basket and searched for a resting place in the village, and soon I saw Mr. Song and his family.

"father--"

Xia Mo shouted, but Mr. Song didn't move.

It wasn't until Xia Mo walked in front of him that Mr. Song was shocked to realize that the third daughter-in-law was actually calling him daddy.

"Green...green grass is coming!"

Mr. Song stood up nervously. From the bottom of his heart, he was worried about this third daughter-in-law. Others still have a principle.

Xia Mo twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded, "Well, I'm here to see my parents. Have the eldest and second brothers gone up the mountain?"

"...Ah! It's time to go up the mountain." Looking at his third daughter-in-law, who was somewhat normal, Mr. Song was a little panicked. He turned around and shouted, "Old lady, Qingcao is here to see you."

"Just wait, I'll call your mother over."

Mr. Song ran away in panic and pulled out Mrs. Song who was cooking behind the stone.

Mrs. Song was cooking when she suddenly heard the old man say that the grass was coming. She thought the old man was just talking nonsense!

"It's green grass. Is there nothing to eat at home? There are some mushrooms here, take some back and eat them first."

Mrs. Song looked at Qingcao carrying the basket and thought she had nothing to eat, so she quickly went to pick out the mushrooms in the bamboo basket, taking advantage of the fact that the boss and the second family members were all up the mountain, so she couldn't take out some.

"Mom, no need. I have something to eat. I got some fish and sent two for my parents to try."

Xia Mo stepped forward and poured the fish in the basket into the bamboo basket at her mother-in-law's hand.

Mrs. Song looked at the fish as big as a small arm in the bamboo basket and was so frightened that she quickly pulled the mushroom cover up.

"You kid, keep such a big fish for yourself and eat it. No one will see you when you come all the way, right? Don't attract other people's attention."

Mrs. Song said softly. She glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one noticed.

"No one saw me, it was covered with grass."

"You... do you have something to tell mom?"

Mrs. Song looked at Qingcao who was communicating normally, but she felt panicked in her heart.

"It's okay, I just got some fish and brought it to honor my parents."

Xia Mo said with a smile.

Mrs. Song blinked her eyes, unable to figure out what the third daughter-in-law wanted to do.

"...Well, mother knows that you are filial. Your eldest brother and your second brother's family can find some food when they go up the mountain. You...you can keep it for yourself and the children in the future. The third child's legs are not convenient. It’s hard on you.”

After Mrs. Song finished speaking, she realized that she was talking nonsense and pulled Xia Mo's sleeves anxiously, "Mother doesn't mean to pity you, don't think too much, Qingcao, mother is... just... ..Mom, can I get you some salt? Do you have any salt there?"

The more Mrs. Song explained, the more unclear she became, so she simply changed the topic.

The corners of Xia Mo's mouth raised slightly, and she pursed her lips in amusement, "Mom, you are so thoughtful. I am really short of salt. Can you give me a clay pot here?"

"You wait here, Niangyun will come out to you."

Mrs. Song hurriedly ran to the place where her belongings were placed, and after a moment of hesitation, she chose a medium-sized earthen pot, grabbed two handfuls of salt and put it in the bottom.

"Qingcao, can you look at this?"

Mrs. Song held the earthen pot and placed it at Xia Mo's feet.

Xia Mo looked at the earthen pot as big as his knees and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, thank you mother."

"...Uh! This... is fine."

Mrs. Song looked stunned. Is this third daughter-in-law really a sex change?

"Well, I'll go back first, mother!"

"...Oh! Okay, walk slowly!"

Mrs. Song looked at Qingcao holding the earthen pot and walking away. The expression on her face was very complicated. She was happy and worried, and finally turned into a sigh.

Xia Mo happily went back with the big earthen jar, which was just right for marinating the meat. She was worried about how to prepare the meat. It wouldn't hold in the basket, and it would stink in two days.

At the end of summer, I cut the meat in the basket bit by bit, and quietly put it into the earthen pot with the person on my back. I put a layer of it and sprinkled some salt. After all the meat was put in, it was just enough, but the fish couldn't be put in. .

At the end of summer, I put a little salt on the fish and put it in a basket, planning to eat fish for the next few days and eat meat after the fish.

Aunt Shi watched the grass marinating the meat. She also moved a large earthen pot and marinated the meat.

By mid-afternoon, Li Zheng and the clan leader were squatting on the ground with sad faces and did not discuss anything.

After a while, Li Zheng asked his son to find the heads of each family in the village to discuss the next matter.

After Xia Mo heard the news, he went directly with Aunt Shi, completely ignoring Song Laicai.

Song Laicai gritted his teeth and looked at Xia Mo's back. This bitch, when did it become a woman's turn to be the representative of the old Song family? What a shameless thing.

Song Laicai got up angrily and limped to Li Zheng's place.

After a while, more than 20 people came to Li Zheng. Among the group of strong men, Xia Mo and Aunt Shi were very conspicuous, and even more conspicuous was Song Laicai.

But no one has any objections, just listen if you want to hear it. Song Laosan's family is not normal. Why do you talk so much? You don't have to make a fuss.

Li Zheng cleared his throat and said, "We have been resting here for two days. Some villagers may not want to leave, but..."

Li Zheng glanced around and continued, "I want to make it clear to you that our village still needs to continue to go south. Now we can still find food and drink on this mountain. Winter will come in two months. Can you find food and drink?”

Li Zheng raised his hand to stop the villagers who were about to interrupt, "Listen to me first. Even if we have enough food and drink for the winter, do we have any clothes to keep out the cold? Have we escaped for so long just to freeze to death here? We have been As we go south, it gets warmer and warmer, and even if it’s cold, it’s not as cold as in the north, don’t you think so?”

A short, muscular man shouted, "Uncle Lizheng, how long have we reached this point? What if we can't find anything to eat or drink along the way? Will we all starve to death together?"

Li Zheng nodded and said, "The purpose of asking everyone to come over to discuss this is that if you are willing to leave, we should all go together. If you are not willing to leave, I will not force it. No one can guarantee whether there will be food and drink in the future. I will call everyone to go together." It’s to have someone to take care of you on the road. Don’t blame others when you make a decision. If you blame others, just go on your own.”

The old hunter in the village shook his head and said, "I think it's better for everyone to walk together. There are a lot of refugees along the way. It's safer to have more people."

A strong man waved his hand, "What's the matter? We are from the same village. Of course we set off together. What's the point of staying here? If you can't get up or get down, the government will be gone and there will be no house. When winter comes, only You’ll freeze to death.”

The villagers next to him nodded and said yes, it was indeed unreliable to stay.
