40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

After so many days, the wound on Yun Feifei's head began to scab over, and the locusts on her hands were also cleaned up.

That morning, after Yun Feifei and her brothers and sisters finished their breakfast, she carried a backpack and followed everyone up the mountain. She had never gone up the mountain to look for food in such a long time.

When passing by the fields, they are full of locust corpses. It won't be long before they become fertilizer for the soil.

As we walked along the way, we saw criss-crossing cracks on the ground, making it look even drier than the previous few days.

Along the way, we saw many villagers carrying baskets on their backs, rushing towards the foot of the mountain.

Yun Feifei followed the crowd to the foot of the mountain. Looking up, she saw continuous yellow from the foot of the mountain to the top.

Occasionally there is green vegetation, and you can see that there are already many people surrounding that green area.

After a while, the green area disappeared. It seemed that the green plants had been picked by the villagers who saw it first.

At this time, it was only around six o'clock, and there were already a lot of people gathered on the mountain. Everyone got up before dawn.

"Sister, come this way." Yun Guohua took the lead and walked up the mountain.

Yun Guohua led everyone to take routes away from the crowd. Everyone was on the same mountain, and with so many people, it was inevitable that they would meet each other.

As soon as Yun Feifei and her companions reached halfway up the mountain, they encountered three conflicts over the distribution of food.

The few people who were snatching the weeds growing on the hillside in front of them discovered Yun Feifei and her group and stopped their confrontation and snatching.

They all looked at Yun Feifei and the other four with vigilance, thinking that they were going to snatch the ownership of the weeds from them.

"We are just passing by!" Yun Guohua explained to the other party, and then led everyone to continue walking up the mountain.

Yun Feifei and her companions had not walked far when they heard the sounds of the people continuing to snatch things and curse at each other from behind.

"Sister, let's go a little further. There aren't that many people there. I usually take them to pick over there."

Yun Guohua knew that he and his companions could not defeat the strong adults, so they would rather go farther to find edible food. It was also because of this that they avoided getting injured.

Because there are fewer and fewer edible foods to be found on the mountain, more and more villagers are fighting over the ownership of wild vegetables, tree bark or weeds. Every day, many people come down the mountain with scars all over their bodies.

As we walked up the tree, we saw that only the trunks were left standing, and the bark at the bottom of the tree had been peeled off, leaving only the bark at the top, which looked bare and desolate.

They continued walking forward, and soon they heard a familiar voice, Wang Yulan's powerful curse.

"You're talking nonsense. I found this wild vegetable. Get out of here if you know what's best for you!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw grandma Wang Yulan leading the way, followed by my uncle and his family.

Standing opposite was a group of villagers whose number was no less than that of grandma and her friends. Next to them, there were more than a dozen wild vegetables growing on the ground.

It was obvious from the look that both groups were fighting for the ownership of these dozen wild vegetables, and it seemed that the two groups were about to switch from verbal to physical action.

Yun Feifei and Yun Guohua, who were walking in front, looked at each other and immediately turned 45 degrees to change direction with Yun Shasha and the others.

Yun Guohua and the others all knew that as long as their grandmother discovered them, they would be called to help.

They might be called upon by grandma and the others to be pawns. If they lose or get injured, no one will feel sorry for them.

But if they won, they wouldn't get any of the wild vegetables.

Even the youngest Yun Lingling knows this: they would never do such thankless tasks!

Yun Feifei and the others wanted to leave, but someone wouldn't let them!

Yun Jiaojiao felt that she had been unlucky ever since she and Yun Feifei competed for the rabbit, and she thought it was all Yun Feifei's fault.

Isn't it just a rabbit? This isn't the first time someone has robbed her of something. Who told her to hide it? If she didn't take the initiative to hand it over, she could only take it herself.

In the past, she never fought back when beaten or retaliated when scolded, but who would have thought that she would actually resist this time?

She was just fighting back and punching her lightly a few times. Was it necessary to make such a big fuss?

Not only did he eat all the rabbit meat my mother cooked, but he also brought so many people with him.

As a result, no matter where she goes in the village, she is looked at strangely and talked about by others. Her grandmother and brother both have complaints about her.

In order to avoid everyone's attention, she could only hide at home and go nowhere.

Less than two days later, the house was robbed again. She had never imagined that her grandmother would have hidden so much money, and now it was all gone.

While everyone was still immersed in the grief of losing their money, a swarm of locusts arrived.

They had no money and their food had been stolen. Everyone was worried about their future livelihood and hoped that the food at home would be harvested so that they would not have to go hungry.

The arrival of locusts shattered their hopes, and they had to eat wild vegetable porridge every day to fill their stomachs.

The wild vegetable porridge was so disgusting. She had never eaten it since she was a child. She only ate fine grains every day and occasionally had meat.

She was so hungry that she had to swallow it. In order to fill her stomach, she had to go out with her family to catch locusts, dig wild vegetables and tree roots to fill her stomach.

Her feet were blistered and her hands were rubbed raw these days. She wanted to complain to her mother, but before she could open her mouth, her younger brother Yun Guoqiang went to her mother to cry and was scolded by his father.

Even her always favored brother was scolded. She didn't dare to speak out and could only swallow her grievances.

These days, the whole family went out to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and tree bark.

Everything was fine at the beginning, but as time went on, the wild vegetables that could be picked became fewer and fewer.

If you discover wild vegetables and are a little slow, others will find them before you can pick them and start a fight to grab them.

They had snatched wild vegetables from others several times before. Fortunately, she was smart and always stood at the back of the team, so her injuries were not serious.

Just like this time, these dozen wild vegetables were discovered by both parties together. Seeing that a big battle was about to break out for the ownership of the wild vegetables, she hid behind the team as usual.

With her family members standing in front charging forward, she had time to slack off. As she was looking around, she saw the figures of Yun Feifei and her four siblings standing not far away.

Seeing that the five of them were about to leave, Yun Jiaojiao was of course unhappy, so she shouted loudly.

"Yun Feifei, the rest of you come over and help us, we found some wild vegetables here!"
