Chapter 709 Escape 14
“Mom, this bamboo forest is so big, are there still a lot of bamboo rats? Mom, how about we catch all the bamboo rats tomorrow and keep them home to eat slowly? I know if there are bamboo trees and bamboo rats in the bamboo forest behind our village.”
If there are, then the family will not starve to death when they return home.
You can also eat broth every day.
When Geng Dalin thought of being able to eat broth every day, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Yuan Chun agreed, "Let's hide the cart in the bamboo forest. Tomorrow you will chop down bamboo rats with me. We will set off home early in the morning the day after tomorrow."
Geng Dalin and Sun Chunfeng Everyone is happy and everything is fine.
Geng Xiaowu is now a grown man, and he helps with farm work at home. He came over, sat next to his grandma, and said, "Grandma, I also want to chop down bamboo rats together."
Yuan Chun turned around and glanced He was so thin that he said, "You are still young and can't chop bamboo. Just help us carry the basket and watch the bamboo rats don't escape."
"Grandma, I am very strong. You can do a lot of work," Geng Xiaowu said babously.
He really wants to help the adults with work, he doesn't want to sit around and just eat.
He didn’t want to be a burden to his grandma and his second uncle and second aunt.
Yuan Chun raised his hand and touched the eldest grandson's head, and said softly, "Grandma knows that Xiao Wu is a hard-working and capable man, but our family only has a machete and a kitchen knife, so there is nothing extra. The knife is for you to use. "
Geng Xiaowu then said, "Then I will help you look after the basket. "
Before dark, Yuan Chun and Geng Dalin pulled the cart into the bamboo forest, and the family. Just stayed in the bamboo forest for one night.
The next day, Sun Chunfeng was responsible for guarding Geng Xiaowen and pulling the cart. Yuan Chun and Geng Dalin went to chop bamboo rats, and Geng Xiaowu and his three sisters helped to carry the basket.
In a large bamboo forest, there were actually not many bamboo rats. Yuanchun used her mental clairvoyance to catch about a hundred bamboo rats. She also caught a rabbit nest in a low-lying place. There are seven big rabbits and five little rabbits.
The terrain of this place is low, and there are some dark and sunny places with some green grass, which allows this nest of rabbits to survive.
Yuan Chun and Geng Dalin also pulled up all the green grass and threw it into the basket for the rabbits to eat. They wanted to raise them first and keep them for eating on the road.
Because the basket was too small to raise so many rabbits, Yuanchun roasted four big rabbits in the evening, and eight people shared them and ate them all.
The next day, the Geng family got up early, drank a bowl of broth each, packed their luggage and set off back to Fengling Village.
Afraid that if there were too many bamboo rats, they would be crowded to death if put together, so Yuanchun also cut a few green bamboo poles as thick as a bowl and kept all the bamboo rats in the bamboo poles.
It also prevents people from discovering them on the road.
On the way back to the village, the Geng family met many people fleeing to the south.
Some, like Fengling Village, were large teams of the entire village fleeing famine together, while others were families fleeing alone, or even relatives who knew each other from several households were fleeing together.
Some people saw that the Geng family were all old, weak, women and children, and Geng Dalin was the only strong man. They wanted to rob their supplies, but Yuanchun held them down and beat them.
With Yuanchun around, a few days later in the evening, the Geng family returned to Fengling Village safely.
After returning home, Geng Dalin and Sun Chunfeng seemed to feel half at ease. The couple happily moved all the luggage out of the pull cart and took their places.
Put the iron pot back on the stove and start boiling water to cook bamboo rat meat.
After eating, the family closed the door and slept happily.
