Chapter 12 Qin Sushi’s death and finding food to survive the disaster
Qin Jiupo glared at Mrs. Qin Zheng: “Hu Meizi, hurry up and roast the soybeans. If you dare to eat them secretly, I can’t spare you!”
< br>Want to hook up with the boss?
Dream!
Qin Zheng was just a prostitute who slept with her boss for free. After she settled down, she sold Qin Zheng and her son and used the money from their prostitution to marry her boss a decent wife.
Just as they were making plans, the people who went to look for Qin Sushi and his friends came back, but it was not Qin Sushi who they brought back, but Qin Laojiu and Qin Yaozu's mother.
Qin Twelve's daughter-in-law suppressed her laughter and ran over to persuade Qin Jiupo: "Sister-in-law Jiu, don't be jealous. Qin Yaozu's mother is just a concubine at most, and she can't get past you."
"What?" Mrs. Qin Jiu was dumbfounded and hurriedly looked in the direction of Qin Yaozu's mother, and saw her walking half-hugged by Qin Laojiu with a look of confusion on her face.
"Qin Liu, you bitch, if you dare to steal my man, I will beat you to death!" Qin Jiupo went crazy and wanted to fight Qin Liu, but Qin Laojiu kicked her down.
“You bitch, if you dare to touch my woman, I will chop you up alive!”
Mrs. Qin Jiu cried loudly: "Qin Laojiu, you have no conscience. I worked hard to lead people to grab land for food, but you went to sleep with the widow."
After being caught on the spot, Mr. Qin Jiuye risked his life and said directly: "What kind of widow?" , From today on, Mrs. Qin Liu will be my second wife. As my sister, you must protect Mrs. Qin Liu."
"I will fight with you to protect your mother!" Qin Jiupo cried. The fight continued and the whole camp knew about it.
......
After listening to the gossip for a long time, Qin Liupo ran back to Qin Xiaomi and the others with satisfaction and said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you didn't see it. I heard that there was nothing when I was hit. Wear it, the two lumps of white flesh are so wrapped together that they are almost fried.”
Aunt Qin, Qiao Lizi and the others turned red when they heard this and hurriedly lay down and pretended to sleep.
Grandma Qin said: "Sixth brother and sister, please shut up. The children are still here, so you can talk nonsense!"
Grandma Qin was thick-skinned, so she just smiled and said: " In short, Laojiu's wife was in trouble this time. After more than an hour of quarrel, Qin Laojiu didn't let go. Protecting Qin Yaozu's mother is as rare as an old bachelor meeting his fat wife... Maybe in a few months, Lao Jiu's family will have to add Qin Wushi. "
Grandma Qin hurriedly. Ask her to stop: "Stop talking about his home, go to bed quickly."
……
But in the middle of the night, there was another commotion at Qin Laojiu's resting place. This time it was not arresting the traitor, but Qin Sizhi who found it.
"Died, being chewed by wild beasts in the mountains until I lost my dignity."
"Si'er, mother's Si'er, you died so miserably!" Qin Jiupo cried. I fainted and when I woke up, it was already the next day.
Qin Laojiu told her: "The fourth child has been buried. Go to the grave and take a look and follow him quickly. If you fall behind, don't blame us for not waiting for you."
Yan Then, look at the eldest son.
Dang, Dang, Dang, Qin Dashi immediately knocked on the iron block and shouted: "People from Qinjia Village, gather together and hurry up. There are many evil people on the road. Don't fall behind, otherwise don't blame the village for abandoning you!"
Qin Jiupao almost vomited blood after hearing this. , but life was important, so he stopped visiting Qin Sushi's grave and yelled at Qin Erchun: "You silly girl, why don't you hurry up and carry me on your back?"
Qin Erchun hurried over and knelt down, carrying me on his back. Follow Qin Jiupo on his way.
Qin Xiaomi looked at this family and shook her head secretly... With such a group of people, she didn't even need to do anything, they could kill her.
But how did Qin Sushi die?
Could it be that the truth was exposed, that he ran into the mountains, fell into a ditch, and was bitten to death by wild beasts?
No need to guess, it was Jiang Dalang who committed suicide... Although he is no longer the emperor who holds the throne, he still has ways to protect her.
"Millet." Jiang Dalang called her and handed her a small piece: "This is a small piece of ginger that I picked up in the mountains. I washed it clean. Eat it quickly. It can ward off the cold."< br>
“You can give it to your younger brothers and sisters, I don’t need it.” Qin Xiaomi didn’t want it and ran away.
Sheng Ting was a little discouraged. It had been so many days and they had even beaten up bad guys together, but Su Su was still very distant from him.
But it doesn't matter, as long as he and she are alive, one day, he will get what he wants. "Xiaomi, wait for me." Jiang Dalang caught up with Qin Xiaomi and helped her hold the package from behind, making it easier for her to travel.
But the road to escape was long. When he stopped, Qin Xiaomi was still very tired, but he did not dare to rest. After grabbing land to set up camp, he followed the adults to grab water and food.
But now there is less and less food to find, and even the grass roots are gone. The victims began to dig up tree roots. When they saw a dead forest, they rushed in and dug out the roots. Pluck off the tender bark of tree roots to satisfy your hunger.
Qin Xiaomi looked at the tree pits and thought of something. She jumped into the tree pit and dug the soil inside. After a while, she finally saw what she was looking for. She was overjoyed and hurriedly took it out. The bag was filled with a small half bag of soil.
Qin Liupo thought she was crazy: "Little girl Xiaomi, you can't eat this soil. Only white mud can satisfy your hunger. Pour out this soil quickly."
"Liu Po, this soil has other uses. Let's go back. Let’s talk about the camp.” Qin Xiaomi climbed out of the tree pit and went back with the women who were looking for food.
Not long after, Grandpa Qin and the others came back, all with sad faces: "I only grabbed a few cans of water, and all the food was eaten."
Grandma Qin comforted her. They said: "People from eight prefectures in Zhongyuan Prefecture are fleeing famine, and people from five prefectures are running away from us. We can still get water and firewood ahead of us. It’s thanks to God’s blessing.”
Qin Xiaomi poured out the bag of soil, pulled it a few times, and found a few nymphs in it. Slough: "Grandpa, come here and see what this is?"
After hearing this, Grandpa Qin went over to take a look. After a while, he recognized the thing and said happily: "This is the slough of a cicada... Xiaomi, where did you find it?"
"Found it in the elm forest in the mountains. "Qin Xiaomi told the story, and then said: "The victims just robbed all the grass roots and bark, but Chanruo The worm has been living half a meter underground. As long as we dig it, we will definitely get something... This is a meat dish, and it is also a medicinal herb. We dig it up, dry it and store it, and we can exchange it for grain and cotton-padded jackets. "
< br>After hearing this, several family members were all very excited and looked at Grandpa Qin one after another, waiting for him to make up his mind.
Grandpa Qin did not hesitate and said immediately: "Without further delay, let's go into the forest with Xiaomi to dig for cicada nymphs."
After Grandpa Qin assigned the manpower to stay, he took Qin Xiaomi and the others entered the forest. When I met a disaster victim I knew on the road and asked about it, he said: "We have little clothing to keep out the cold, so we have to work harder and cut more firewood to keep warm."
After hearing this, the victims stopped asking questions.
They walked for another three-quarters of an hour, and finally arrived at the place: "This is the elm forest."
"The two horses and the three horses went to cut down the trees to show off, while the others divided up to dig out cicada nymphs. If anyone comes and asks, they will say that they are digging tree roots to satisfy their hunger." After Grandpa Qin explained, the men from the family jumped into the tree pit and dug the soil.
This forest was dug up by the victims. They only dug down half an arm's length and found cicada nymphs. They were very happy: "Uncle Wu, I really found them. There are quite a few." There are several of them dug up.”
Grandpa Qin reminded them: “Don’t say anything, this is a living thing. If you dig it up, hide it in the bag.”
"Hey." The big guy responded, digging in the soil to look for cicada nymphs.
There were also curious victims who came over to take a look.
But Xu Erjun was clever and would remind several families in advance every time. When the victims ran to the tree pit, the cicada nymphs had been hidden, and the victims found nothing.
After digging for several hours and getting several kilograms, Grandpa Qin said: "It's getting late. Go back quickly. Going back too late will arouse suspicion."
"Hey. ." After the guys hid the cicada nymphs, they each carried a bundle of firewood as a disguise and returned to the camp.
Qin Liupo couldn't wait for a long time. She was the first one to run over and ask: "How are you doing? Did you dig it?"
Qin Laoliu showed her the bag containing the cicada nymphs and said proudly: "It's just me." Here is half a kilo , our two sons, fifth brother, and Dashi all dug more than me."
Qin Liupo was overjoyed: "Oh, God bless us, we have meat dishes to eat."
Qin Laoliu cursed She said: "You bitch, what are you doing with your bluffing? You are hiding something from me. If someone finds out, you won't even be able to eat cicada excrement."
"It was me who was bluffing." Qin The sixth wife hurriedly slapped herself in the mouth , and then said to Grandma Qin: "Fifth sister-in-law, let's take some golden cicada tonic tonight? It's not that I want to eat it, but it's because I see Xiaomai and the others are so weak that their faces are blue. I feel sad and want to give them a tonic."
You are really good at talking.
But the big guy is really too weak. If he doesn't take it, he will die from exhaustion on the road. After Grandma Qin asked Grandpa Qin, she roasted all the cicada nymphs, kept half of them, and divided the remaining half among them. Big guys eat.
The taste is so fragrant and fresh that everyone enjoyed it.
