Escape to Farmland

Chapter 118 The Hinterland of Shu Province
"Too."

Wu Daniu echoed, "If there is really land to cultivate here, then it's our turn."

"I think it's too simple."

Mo Qiaomei smiled, "It's rare to see such a good place, so..."

I don't want to leave, I hope to settle down.

"Don't think about that yet."

Qiu Laogen glanced at his young daughter-in-law, seeming to comfort him, and also seemed to be talking to himself, "It's good to be able to rest here for a few days."

"Father was right."

Qiu Maolin patted his wife on the shoulder and said, "It happens that the journey these days is tiring enough, so we will rest here for a few more days and continue our journey slowly."

"You can't rest for too long, it's almost winter."

Qiu Maocai reminded, "Don't look at it's still so hot that you can only wear single clothes, but once it gets cold this day, I'm afraid you will be caught off guard."

"Boss is right."

Qiu Laogen agreed with the boss, and hesitantly ordered Qiu Maolin, "Second brother, look around to see if there is any water source."

"Boss, you and I check to see if there are any invisible dangers around."

"Old lady, take your daughters-in-law to clean up the place carefully, and then fumigate it with smoke to drive away the little things inside."

"Okay, I see."

Wu Da Niu agreed, "For family matters, it's good to have our women, and you should go and do what you want."

"Yaya, Mao Dan, let's go, Second Uncle will take you out to play."

When Qiu Maolin was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and shouted, "After you brothers and sisters dig wild vegetables, uncle will look for a water source nearby."

"it is good."

The siblings fully agreed, took an old basket, and followed Qiu Maolin out.

As for Xiao Cuifen...

While everyone was busy, she coaxed her son Qiu Dabao into her arms and stayed there.

The old lady was so angry that she didn't even bother to look at her, and she and Mo Qiaomei started to clean up.

Xia Quan and the others didn't go very far when they saw early green smoke in the direction of the cave dwelling.

"Second Uncle, there's smoke coming out of there."

Mao Dan didn't understand what the adults were doing, so he grabbed Qiu Maolin's clothes nervously, and said worriedly, "Our salute is still over there."

"Don't worry, it's a bug from your grandma Qiu's cave dwelling, it won't really catch fire."

When the little guy heard that there were bugs, his eyes lit up.

I was so excited that my mouth watered: "Then, if the worms inside are cooked, will there be meat to eat?"

"Hahaha……"

Qiu Maolin smiled brightly when he heard the child's innocent and cute words, "Our Mao Dan is really smart, and he also knows that bugs can be eaten as meat."

Xia Quan's mouth twitched as he listened to the conversation between the elder and younger two.

Although she herself is greedy for meat, she doesn't think there is anything delicious about those burnt worms.

unless……

Unless they are lucky enough.

If a long worm can be smoked from the cave, you can drink snake soup at night.

It's just that they who fled famine didn't have such luck at all.

Only after Xia Quan and his brother dug wild vegetables back did they find out...

Not to mention long worms, even small worms that are barely edible.

Qiu Maolin did not find a source of water nearby.

Even so, this place where wild vegetables can be dug is already the place where young and old feel the most abundant these days.

……

It is rare to have such a good place, and the group stayed in this area for two or three days to let everyone relax.

During this period, new deserters passed by one after another.

But they only stayed for a short time and then left in a hurry.

Five days later, nine people, young and old, packed their bags and continued on their way.

As we went deeper into the hinterland of Shuzhou, life gradually became better.

There is also a little more water.

There is even a family of good deeds who will give them a box of brown rice or wheat.
