Chapter 8 The Beginning of a New Life

At this moment, Li Jian is full of hope for a new life, let go of the burden of the two lives in his heart, and live a good life in the future, together with this Li Jian, now, let's find a way to fill his stomach.

He took one step, looked at three steps, and walked forward cautiously. There were a lot of weeds on the ground, and there were not many wild vegetables that could be eaten. After all, it was almost autumn, and many wild vegetables were old. There were only some purslane and so on. Looking around, I found that some wild chrysanthemums had buds. When they bloomed, I could come and collect them. After all, I could sell them to the pharmacy for money. I also met a few rabbits on the way, but unfortunately they ran away before they passed.

It’s too painful to see the meat that can’t be eaten. I decisively found a few tree vines and tied a few loops to make a cover and put it in a good place. see you tomorrow

Li Jian didn't dare to go inside too much. After all, it was an unfamiliar place. He didn't bring any tools today. Tomorrow, he brought a shovel and must move the wild chrysanthemums into the space. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Thinking about tomorrow’s arrangement, I walked back, but I just went around a circle, and when I passed by a clump of wild jujubes, I found some big green leaf plants behind. After a closer look, it turned out to be nicknamed "dry lotus root" by my former classmates. Taro, its leaves are very similar to lotus root, and it does not touch water, but it is oval, not round, and there are many on this side. This is a good thing and very hungry, and one tree can bear a lot. Alas, thinking of this, I found a branch and dug it without tools. When digging, be careful not to get the water in the stalk on your body. It can't be washed off. Very itchy.

After one-third of the digging, I couldn't dig anymore, mainly because the tools weren't good enough, and then I remembered that there was nothing to pack.I had to put them all in the space, and slowly look for locust trees that can be used to weave back baskets. There are some willow trees here, but small baskets are okay, but the back baskets are too reluctant to support the weight. I made a big basket from the wicker I ordered and used it first. When I was about to reach the edge of the woods, I finally found out that the necessary ingredient "ginger" is not easy. I dug out all the few clumps of ginger and took a large piece. , in all the remaining space, this is a good thing, not only to remove fishy smell, but also a good medicine for cold and cold at home.

In order not to make people suspicious, I took out a part of the taro in the space by the woods, wrapped it with the piece of ginger with a few large taro leaves, and went to the river to find those who touched the mussels. , When I got closer, I saw a lot of people, not all the people who went to the whole grass shed came here. Seeing that Li Jian didn’t pass by here, it seems that I’m still a selfish person. I’d better take the taro back. , after being seen by others, I won't dig it

After I went back to the thatched shed area and asked, I found out that someone heard a few children say that mussels are edible and delicious. In order not to be hungry, everyone rushed to touch the mussels. They thought they could eat for a while. As for time, now it seems that we have to hurry up and find a way. Who wants to be hungry when we can eat enough?

When everyone has touched the mussels in the river and returned to the straw shed area one after another, at this time, they can see the benefits of having more people. Everyone is always safer and less bullied. After all, not everyone They are law-abiding, there are always people who want to get something for nothing, and they bully the lonely or the weak and directly rob them. Some of the people who come to flee are cheated or robbed or abducted. Children, pay attention, even the younger children are always taken care of by several adults and never leave their side. After all, it is too late for an accident, just like the original body is being targeted alone. Seeing today's situation, we must Pay attention, as for the secrecy of the space, we can only find another way

In the evening, everyone ate clam soup with much less fishy smell, and roasted soft taro. Everyone was surprised that the taro was delicious. After all, the taro water made it itchy, and they thought it was poisonous. Everyone agrees with Li Jian's idea of ​​weaving baskets or carrying baskets. After all, it is still very useful. He immediately proposed to dig wild vegetables and mussels every day. After digging, we should make more things. After all, we have to prepare for the days to come.

Now there are more than 400 people in the entire straw shed area. Li Jian and his village have less than 100 people. Compared with Li Jian, there are more than 20 adults and children living together, including Chen Momo. After all, there are people. After the flood, there were still 200 people left in the village, but some went to visit relatives, some got separated, some couldn't make it through and signed a contract to sell themselves, and some stayed in the south and refused to go north. Now That’s all that’s left. Aunt Li Jian is from Chen’s Village. His father is from another place and he’s married. He doesn’t have any other relatives now. Chen Memo is a neighbor of the original family, and the relationship is relatively close. This time it’s equivalent to He saved his life and took such good care of himself, so he must repay them well in the future.

The next day, these 20 people were not idle. After all, they were all hungry. The adults were busy cutting wicker and looking for locust trees, and the children were also helping to pull willow leaves. After all, peeling the bark is troublesome. You can do it Weaving with leather, but you can’t even carry the leaves. After three days of work like this, I have compiled a lot of baskets and frames, which are enough for short-term use.

When the mussels in the river soaked in the water like fish for a long time, Li Jian proposed to go into the forest to have a look. These days, Li Jian was busy with the adults every day and found a pepper tree. , a few clusters of wild chrysanthemums.But I didn’t move until the time came. I don’t make things up today, it’s time to find something again. Even if I don’t find something to dig taro, I still have something to pretend to be wrong.

Under the watchful eyes of Chen Meme and the others, Li Jianwen's kid Wu Boy (the second child of Chen Memo's family) went into the forest with a backpack on their backs and a stick and shovel. This time they planned to go to the forest on the other side of the river. After waiting He wrapped his legs with thatch and walked in carefully. He didn't go far and saw a few clumps of ginger. Thinking that the ginger had survived in the space last time, and it was growing well, he couldn't help but think that maybe it could be planted. Point, after all, it’s medicinal herbs. The pharmacy will definitely accept them, so they dug up all of them. As for the rabbits, modern iron wire and nylon ropes are very strong. Weak and ran away again.

This time, we must find something sturdy to use.

This time they harvested very well, including a bundle of wild green onions and wild leeks, a third of ginger in a basket, and a lot of mushrooms and fungus, not to mention wild vegetables.There are also a lot of taro, and the most important thing is to find a kind of bark fiber that is very long and tough, but fresh ones are not good. Plant the bark and prepare to soak it in water or boil it to see if it can be done
