Sign in to foster husband in the fugitive desert

Chapter 52

Li Xiaomin made the lunch, with Grandpa Li and Li Erniu helping.

Because there was one more patient, Li Xiaomin washed the clay pot again and planned to cook some white rice porridge.

However, seeing the few handfuls of white rice left in the rice bag, Li Xiaomin was stunned.

After putting the rice in the pot, pouring water and firewood, Li Xiaomin went to Uncle Lu.

"Uncle Lu, our rice is almost finished."

Hearing Li Xiaomin's words, Lu Changhe paused, "How much is left?"

"There is still a meal."

"What about the others?" Lu Changge asked again.

"I still have half a bag of white flour, half a basket of potatoes, three Chinese cabbages, five white radishes, and two pieces of air-dried meat. I have eaten everything else."

When they left Jincheng, they didn't put many things in the carriage.

After all, Lu Changge, Li Tugen, and Li Xiaomin all knew each other had a system.

However, they didn't know that Jin Bao's master and servant would leave together.

Now, even if there is enough food stored in their space, they cannot take it out at will.

After all, I have lived on the mountain for a month, if there is still a lot of food, then something is wrong.

"Not enough food?" Jin Bao on the side was a little puzzled, and looked up at the guards who came over.

"I remember we brought two bags with us when we came over, and said coldly, go and get our food out."

"Young master, the food is gone." said the cold-faced guard.

"Ah? When did it disappear?" Jin Bao looked at a loss.

"Didn't you all take it out half a month ago?" Li Xiaomin asked doubtfully.

"Oh... I forgot." Jin Bao scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"What now? Are we going to starve to death?"

"It's not enough to starve to death. There are still many things to eat in the mountains." Grandpa Li said.

"Then after dinner, let's go out and look for it." Li Tugen said, "And the vegetables I planted before can also be eaten."

Of course, in addition to green vegetables, Li Tugen can actually grow other things.

Such as rice, but also crops such as potatoes and taro.

But the normal growth period of these things is too long, and shortening the time will make others suspicious.

So far, Li Tugen can only grow some green vegetables with a short growth period.

"Okay, let's eat first."

After dinner, Jin Bao's uncle was still awake.

Today's weather is fine, but they are not sure whether tomorrow will be as rainless as today.

Therefore, I can only take advantage of the good weather today and prepare the things that will be needed next.

Pack up your things, everyone puts on their baskets.

Seeing his father and his brothers and sisters carrying their things and preparing to leave, Tuanzi also wanted to follow.

"Daddy, where are you going? Tuanzi wants to go too!"

"I want to go too!" Goudan on the side heard it and was also aroused.

"No." Lu Changge turned back, frowning and refused.

"why?"

"Because it's dangerous outside, you stay here obediently and don't run around." Li Xiaomin, who was walking behind, also turned around and persuaded.

"Then... when are you coming back, Dad?"

"Back before dark."

"Oh, Daddy, you have to come back quickly." Xiaotuanzi looked at Daddy with big eyes blinking.

"it is good."

Seeing the little guys sitting back on the small stools again, Li Xiaomin smiled helplessly.

Lu Changge, Leng Yan and Li Tugen are the main force, and today they are mainly preparing firewood for the next half month.

The meat stored in the cave is almost gone, and they still have to hunt a few small animals.

Li Xiaomin and Li Erniu followed Grandpa Li to find something to eat.

Li Xiaomin had only dug wild vegetables on the outskirts of the mountain before.

As for what to eat in the mountains, her knowledge is not as good as Grandpa Li's.

"Grandpa Li, what food is there in the mountains at this time?"

"What are there? That's a lot..."

Grandpa Li held a branch in his hand, swept the surrounding weeds, and looked down slowly.

Not long after, Grandpa Li found a small piece of Coprinus pilosula that had opened its umbrella.

The three of Li Xiaomin are looking for mushrooms, wild vegetables and wild fruits.

Lu Changge happened to find a pheasant nest over there.

"It's a pity, there are only six wild eggs." If the pheasants are here, you can still eat chicken today.

Even so, Li Tugen still wrapped the eggs in leaves and carefully put them in the basket.

"It should be nearby." The cold words from the side suddenly said.

"Really? Then let's catch it!"

In the end, Lu Changge and Leng Yan successfully caught two pheasants that were about to return to their nests after foraging.

When you mention it, one weighs about three catties.

Lu Changge and the others were not the only ones who came out to look for food while the weather was good today.

There are also other people who have taken refuge in the mountains.

There are more people on their side, so in order to find something to eat, they can only scatter with other people to search.

And there was a group of people walking directly to the top of the mountain.

over there in the cave

Around three o'clock, Feng Xunyuan, who had been sleeping all this time, finally woke up.

The waiter who was waiting on the side saw it immediately.

"Little prince, you are awake." The servant hurried over to help the master up.

"Yuanfu?" Feng Xunyuan frowned, thinking that her brain had been burnt out.

"Yes."

"Where is Jinbao? Where is this place?" Feng Xunyuan sat up and looked around.

"Your Highness is outside, this is a stone house in a cave."

Afterwards, Yuan Fu briefly explained to the little prince what happened after they left with Master Lu.

After finishing speaking, Yuan Fu did not forget to flatter him, "Little prince, you are really good at predicting things, Master Lu is really not an ordinary person."

When the little prince was in a coma, Yuan Fu asked the guards who followed him about the situation outside.

After asking, I realized that the cave life that Yuan Fu had always thought was boring and dull was actually the safest and most leisurely place.

After all, compared to the people outside, they had enough food, warm clothes, and a bed to sleep at night.

Even where you live, you don’t have to be afraid of being washed away by heavy rain.

"Well... help me out to have a look."

Feng Xunyuan walked out of the stone house supported by Yuan Fu, and as soon as he went out, he saw a clean and open cave.

And there is also a stone house opposite.

The smell of food is in the air.

The surroundings are not humid and cold, and it is sweltering summer now, and it has the effect of relieving the heat.

Seeing the little prince looking at the stone house opposite, Yuan Fu explained: "Master Lu's family lives in the opposite house, Li Xiaomin's family lives in the one inside, and Li Tugen's family lives in the one next to us."

"I heard from Guard Leng that these four stone houses were all carved out by Master Lu." Yuan Fu said with admiration in his eyes.

This cave is no ordinary mud cave, it takes a lot of strength to dig it out with bare hands.

Yuan Fu, who has little strength, expressed envy.

"It's really not easy." Feng Xun Yuan nodded.

At this time, Jin Bao who came in from the outside saw his uncle at a glance, and immediately ran over happily.

"Uncle? You're awake!"

Su Qingyun, who was sitting outside, heard this, stood up and walked in with Erbao in her arms.

"There is porridge in the pot, you can eat some first, my husband has already gone out to find herbs."

"Okay, thank you Fulang Lu." Feng Xunyuan nodded to him.

After eating the porridge, Yuan Fu helped the little prince out to sit for a while.

After all, they will go out to sit if they have nothing to do now, and they are determined not to stay in the cave for too long.

Before reaching the entrance of the cave, Feng Xunyuan saw a one-meter-deep corridor on both sides of the cave.

From the entrance of the cave to one meter into the cave, a road was dug out.

Even sitting there when it rains, the rain won't get in.

"He chiseled this out too?" Feng Xunyuan asked Yuan Fu with his head tilted.

"It was chiseled out by Master Lu and Guard Leng together. Master, go and sit down for a while?"

"En." Feng Xunyuan nodded.

The adults who stayed in the cave included Su Qingyun and Yuan Fu, as well as the little guard who came with Feng Xunyuan.

Other than that, the others are half-grown children.

The group of people who went up the mountain to look for food accidentally saw a cave in the distance.

"Brother Zhang, there seems to be someone in front." A sharp-eyed man pointed to them not far to the right.

"Someone, let me take a look..." The man looked in the direction, and sure enough, he saw it.

"They're all children, go over and have a look." Brother Zhang waved his hand to let everyone behind him follow.

The closer you get, the clearer you can see the situation in the cave ahead.

"Hey...they still grow vegetables!"

"That cave looks so big, there is actually a place outside to enjoy the shade and shelter from the rain. Brother Zhang, let's move in tonight."

"Okay, let's go and see what's going on."

This group of people seemed to have never seen the people living in the cave, and unilaterally decided to take the cave into their pockets.

A dozen tall men walked over laughing and joking, and the voice quickly passed.

When Tuanzi saw a stranger approaching, his face was a little nervous.

"Brother Jin Bao, are they bad people?"

"It should be." Jin Bao said solemnly, "Let's go first to the cave."

"it is good."

When Tuanzi, Goudan, Sanya and Sihu heard this, they hurried into the cave.

And Dahei Erhei, who was lying on the side and pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes and stood up after smelling the stranger's scent.

Dahei Erhei opened his mouth wide and yawned, revealing his sharp fangs.

Shaking the hair on their bodies, the two big wolfhounds walked to the cave, staring sharply at the stranger walking in front of them.

"Zhang... Brother Zhang, is that a wolf or a dog?"

"Is it a wolf? Are dogs that big?"

"Impossible, have you ever seen a wolf guarding a gate for a human?"

"So is it a wolf or a dog?"

The people behind started talking, and some even wanted to leave.

After all, wolves can eat people.

"Stupid! That's a wolf dog!"

"Wolfdog? That should be stronger than ordinary dogs, right?" Someone said timidly.

"What are you afraid of? We're all looking for something handy to serve together, and we'll have an extra meal tonight." Brother Zhang said directly.

"it is good!"

"Okay, I haven't eaten meat for half a month, just to satisfy my hunger!"

While those people were discussing the whereabouts of Dahei Erhei, the big vine climbing on the stone wall outside the cave quietly climbed down.

Crawl silently around them through the knee-high grass around them, and bide their time.

Seeing the group of humans getting closer and closer, Dahei Erhei "barked" at them a few times as a warning.

Seeing that the person still didn't stop, Da Hei and Er Hei jumped down from the stone steps and jumped over in a few steps.

Of course, you can't kill them by killing them, unless they have already hurt their owner's family.

On Lu Changge's side, just as he was about to go a little further, he got a message from Da Teng.

[Master, seventeen male humans have come, and they seem to want to seize our cave. ]

"That's all for today, let's go back." Lu Changge said, and quickly turned to leave.

"Hey? Isn't it still early?" Li Tugen looked up at the sky and asked in doubt.

Leng Yan saw Lu Changge's hurried footsteps, his face seemed a little dignified, he immediately reacted, and hurried to follow.

The author has something to say:

There is another chapter tonight.

I forgot to mention it earlier, but this chapter mentions that hunting in ancient times is no problem in the novel.But in our real world, hunting wild animals is not allowed, it is against the law.
