But, as long as I have saliva to sustain my life, I won't let the people around me die of thirst...

Thinking of this, Ye Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she decided to let Meng Huaishao stop growing wheat and glutinous rice!

Except for paddy fields, all other black soil is used to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes.

There is no other reason, these two kinds of food have high yield and are filling.

She has little land, so she can only start hoarding it from now on.

As for taking it out and letting the villagers plant it?

That is impossible.

Not to mention that she doesn't know how severe the impending drought is or whether crops can be grown there, just talking about the potatoes and sweet potatoes, how can she explain their origin?

Just because Meng Huaishao doesn't covet her doesn't mean others won't.

She was still too young and had no ability to protect herself. A child with gold in his hand would be a devil to everyone.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Ye Yaoyao would not be foolish enough to expose herself.

Even if one day you have to take it out, you have to hide it where it came from.

The only way for a time traveler to survive is to stay alive.

Ye Yaoyao planned everything silently and waited for Meng Huaishao to take her home.

On the other side, after checking the trap, Meng Huaishao looked disappointed.

Today's trap harvest is zero.

He looked at the sky and it was almost dark. It was not a good time to pick wild fruits and vegetables, so he prepared to go down the mountain directly.

He chose a shortcut that was often taken by hunters in the past. It was steeper, but the journey was much shorter.

Meng Huaishao dared to choose this path because he was light and healthy and had no burden.

After all, he would not normally make a trip empty-handed. Even if he had nothing, he would still carry a bundle of firewood back with him, so it was not suitable for him to take this shortcut.

But today, Meng Huaishao was eager to return home, so he chose this road, but he was almost scared to death.

When he was halfway there, he saw a giant python coiled under a tree.

Meng Huaishao's legs trembled.

He touched the hatchet at his waist and silently estimated the difference in strength between the two sides.

Like an insurmountable gap, the difference is so huge.

Meng Huaishao tried hard to calm his mind, slowly stepped back, and tried not to make any sound.

But sometimes, reality is always not as good as we want.

"Crench!"

Meng Huaishao, who had just put his foot down, suddenly stopped.

He stepped on a dead branch, a dead branch hidden under the fallen leaves!

Meng Huaishao felt something was wrong and gripped the hatchet tightly.

Looking towards the giant python, it seems to be motionless?

Meng Huaishao felt a little doubtful. He narrowed his narrow eyes and looked carefully, then he found something wrong.

This python seems to be a little flat?

Meng Huaishao did not move rashly. He looked around, carefully picked up a stone and threw it in another direction.

The stone flew through the air with a whoosh, and then rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

Meng Huaishao hesitated for a moment, picked up a few more stones, and tried in all directions. Some of the stones even fell next to the giant python.

The python didn't move.

"Did I see it wrong?"

"Or is it sleeping?"

Originally, after confirming that it was safe, Meng Huaishao should have left as soon as possible.

But somehow, he really wanted to go up and take a look.

After a long psychological struggle, Meng Huaishao gritted his teeth and decided to fight!

"Just take a look!"

He wanted to see whether the giant python was dead or alive, otherwise he would not be willing to give up!

Slowly approaching, Meng Huaishao could see more clearly this time.

“It’s actually a snake slough!”

Meng Huaishao was surprised when he saw the huge snake skin that barely maintained its shape.

You know, snake skin can be used as medicine.

Such a big snake skin must be very valuable!

Meng Huaishao walked around the snake skin several times, looked at it carefully, then rolled up his sleeves, carried the snake skin and ran down the mountain.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, Meng Huaishao paused, as if he remembered something.

He found a place, hid the snake skin, and then went to the river to take a bath, washing his clothes along with it.

Worried that the baby would get anxious when seeing this, I ran back all wet, changed into dry clothes, and then went to pick up the baby.

So, when Meng Huaishao walked under the starlight to the village chief's house, he saw Ye Yaoyao, whose little head was nodding, but who was still trying to keep her eyes wide open waiting for him.

"Xiao Meng, why are you back so late?"

Grandma Niu held Ye Yaoyao in her arms and said to Meng Huaishao with a smile, "Yaoyao is waiting for you and refuses to sleep even though she is tired."

"Ah!" Hug!

Ye Yaoyao was in a daze, her double eyelids felt heavy. She saw a familiar person through a crack and reached out to hug him.

"Yaoyao, be good! It's my fault for coming back late!"

Meng Huaishao took the baby and patted her back gently.

Ye Yaoyao nodded, then laid her face on the boy's chest and fell asleep.

Meng Huaishao turned her face and made sure her nose was not blocked and her breathing was smooth, then he thanked Niu Nainai.

"Grandma Niu, thank you for helping take care of Yaoyao today. We will go back first."

Grandma Niu nodded and hurriedly called Meng Huaishao.

"By the way, tomorrow morning, the village will hold a meeting in the drying yard, so remember to come!"

"Discussing matters in the drying yard? What's the matter?" Meng Huaishao was puzzled.

"We'll find out tomorrow."

Grandma Niu sighed tiredly. This was not something a child could handle, so she should just let him get some sleep.

When Meng Huaishao saw Niu Nainai's expression, he guessed that it was not a good thing, but it was not an urgent matter, so he was not prepared to break the casserole and ask the truth.

"Got it. I'll come."

Meng Huaishao agreed and took Ye Yaoyao home.

After putting the sleeping baby on the bed, Meng Huaishao went to cook.

He didn't bring any dry food in the afternoon, only a pot of water, and was now starving.

It’s still porridge, add some vegetables, after it’s cooked, scoop out a bowl of thick porridge and put it aside, add some salt, boil it and you can eat it.

Meng Huaishao went to check on the baby, and seeing that she was still sleeping, he ate first.

If the village has a meeting tomorrow, I won’t be able to go to town.

Meng Huaishao remembered the snake skin he had hidden, and planned to find a time to put it in a bag and let Ye Yaoyao take it to the farm.

Otherwise, he was worried that after a long time, the giant python would follow the smell of the snake skin and come here.

As for why not just let Ye Yaoyao take it away?

Not to mention that the baby has been frightened by a snake, just the sight of such a large snake skin, who wouldn’t be scared at first glance!

Meng Huaishao looked at the baby who was sleeping soundly, and felt that what he was doing was really too risky.

What if the baby accidentally sees what’s in the bag and gets scared?

But Meng Huaishao was unwilling to give up directly.

Such a big snake skin should be sold for at least ten taels of silver, right?

Once I sell them, I’ll have enough money to get through the winter.

Meng Huaishao considered it for a long time and decided to take the risk.

He has already moved back home, so he won't be willing to give up just like that!

For himself and Yaoyao, he couldn't give up.

If he missed the money-making opportunity that came to his doorstep because of his hesitation, he would regret it endlessly.
