Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs
Chapter 4 Ancient Life Begins Here
Jiang Ling was so terrified that she didn't even bother to put on her shoes. As soon as she walked out, she saw Yaojie leading Sui He and Wen Xitou just about to push the door out.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Ling quickly walked up to the three of them and asked.
"Yesterday, you didn't eat anything. The two younger sisters were worried that you were hungry, so we planned to go to the mountain to dig some wild vegetables." Lu Yaojie said lightly.
Jiang Ling looked at the three sensible children in front of him, tears almost overflowing his eyes.
She patted the shoulders of the three of them, and said softly: "You stay here, and mother will never let you go hungry in the future. Wait for mother to come back!"
Said Jiang Ling walked out of the ruined temple alone, and walked towards the village chief's house.
"Village chief, I want to ask you something." Knocking on the door of the village chief's house, the village chief looked at Jiang Ling in front of him in surprise.
Just when the village chief wanted to drive Jiang Ling away, Jiang Ling took the lead and said, "I came here today to ask you, is there any house to rent in our Lujia Village? You see, I can't live there all the time with my three children." Destroy the temple!"
The village chief was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Ling's words. It seemed that he had misunderstood Jiang Ling. The village chief stroked his gray beard for a long time before saying to Jiang Ling: "It's okay for you to bring three children alone. Easy, there is a house in the south of the village, the four of you mothers can live there temporarily! As for the rent, forget it anyway, no one lives in that old house now!"
Jiang Ling was overjoyed, thanked her again and again, and left immediately.
Back at the ruined temple, Jiang Ling greeted the three children to the room in the south of the village.Looking at the dilapidated scene of the old house, Jiang Ling could only comfort himself: "It's better than a ruined temple, if you come here, let it be safe!"
A simple hearth and two beds made of hardwood and hay are already all the things in this old house.
"Thank God, at least there is a stove, so you don't have to worry about lighting a fire for cooking in the future!" Jiang Ling thought to himself as he walked around the old house with the children.
"Mom, what did you bring us here for?" Jiang Suhe asked curiously, looking at everything around him.
"This is our new home. In the morning, the village head uncle has promised us to live here!" Jiang Ling said while distributing the buckwheat pancakes bought from the mall in the morning to the three children.
"really?"
Jiang Ling's words stunned Yaojie, who has always been taciturn. Jiang Ling nodded with a smile, then set her eyes on Yaojie, and said to Yaojie, "Yaojie, you have fast legs and feet. After dinner, you go to Uncle Lu’s house at the entrance of the village to reserve two places for ox carts, and tomorrow you and your mother will go to Changning Town!”
Jiang Ling didn't want to spend money recklessly, but it took at least an hour and a half to walk from Lujia Village to Changning Town.
"What?" Jiang Yaojie couldn't believe his ears, he looked up at Jiang Ling in front of him.
"Tomorrow, you and your mother will go to Changning Town. There is a place to stay, but there is no basic cooking utensils. How can we make a fire and cook?" Jiang Ling patiently explained.
"But...but...these things need money."
Jiang Yaojie's words made Jiang Ling secretly dumbfounded. Fortunately, he had thought out a countermeasure in advance, otherwise it would not be easy for the half-child in front of him to get away with it.
Jiang Ling calmly took out the silver hairpin and silver bracelet that he had snatched from the old woman before, looked at the three children in front of him and said, "These two things are given to you by your uncle before your mother left the cabinet. Mine, it should be worth some money if it is pawned in the town. It should be enough to buy some basic daily necessities!"
"No! I don't agree! This is... This is your favorite thing, how could you pawn it!" After hearing Jiang Ling's words, Jiang Yaojie stood up abruptly and said with a blushing face.
Looking at Jiang Yaojie's current appearance, Jiang Ling knew that the half-child's condition towards her was gradually improving, so Jiang Ling patted Jiang Yaojie's shoulder lightly and said lightly: "Then Yaojie, you have a better way to make him feel better. Aren't we hungry?"
Jiang Ling's words made him froze in place, and Jiang Yaojie sat down on the ground with his head drooping and a dejected expression after coming over for a long time.
"Like and fill our stomachs, we have to choose one, don't we? We'll redeem it later when we have money!" Jiang Ling's words were light, but full of hope.
Jiang Yaojie trembled when he heard it, Jiang Ling changed the subject calmly and said: "Yaojie, after eating pancakes, you go to Lu Bo's house to set up a place first, and then we will meet at the back mountain!"
Jiang Yaojie lowered his head, quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, then stood up quickly, and ran out the door without caring about finishing the pancakes.
Jiang Ling didn't stop her, but turned to look at her two daughters and said, "As soon as we finish eating the pancakes, let's go to the mountain to dig some wild vegetables and come back. Mom promises that you won't be hungry in the future!"
The two daughters nodded obediently, and quickly stuffed all the remaining buckwheat pancakes into their mouths.
At noon, the sun radiates enormous heat, scorching everything.
Just as Jiang Ling stepped out of the room with one foot, a wave of heat rushed straight at him, and within a few seconds, dense beads of sweat had already oozed from his forehead.
"Forget it, on such a hot day, these two children's bodies are too weak, if they suffer from heat stroke, it will be difficult!"
Jiang Ling looked up at the sun and thought for a while, then turned to look at the two daughters and said, "Baby, it's too hot, you stay at home obediently, mother can go by herself."
Although the two daughters still wanted to say something, they were finally persuaded by Jiang Ling to go back.
When passing by the field ridge, Jiang Ling glanced at the wheat field, took advantage of other people not paying attention, and lightly pinched the ear of wheat, Jiang Ling was secretly surprised, the wheat that was about to mature in more than a month, turned out to be empty.
Jiang Ling was dumbfounded. Could it be that there will be no harvest this year?
Jiang Ling didn't dare to think about the following things. Before, she always felt that the famine scene in the TV series was very far away from her, but from this point of view, the distance seemed to be as close as she was.
[Drip: Found wild wild sand ginseng, the current price is 30 copper coins per catty]
As soon as Jiang Ling walked into the mountain, the system prompt sound appeared in his mind again. Jiang Ling quickly looked around, and saw a large area of plants around him all emitting a little bit of starlight.
According to the original body's memory, almost all the people in Lujia Village were peasants who could not read a single word, and their knowledge about herbal medicine was even lacking. In their eyes, these things were nothing more than some inedible weeds.
It was precisely this situation that made Jiang Ling cheaper.
"30 copper coins per catty!" Jiang Ling looked at the large area of wild sand ginseng around her and her eyes began to light up. She quickly squatted down and dug up this piece of wild sand ginseng very quickly.
After a while, there were more wild ginseng around Jiang Ling, and when Jiang Ling was full of energy, a mocking voice came to Jiang Ling's ears.
"Do you dare to fight with me for a dog without parents?"
Jiang Ling didn't want to be nosy at first, but for some reason, after hearing this sentence, Jiang Ling felt a little uneasy.
[Get two catties of wild sand ginseng, whether to choose to sell it]
Jiang Ling hurriedly followed the sound after selling the wild ginseng.
"I said, this thing is mine!"
"Yaojie's voice?" After Jiang Ling heard another voice, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and hurriedly quickened her pace.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Ling quickly walked up to the three of them and asked.
"Yesterday, you didn't eat anything. The two younger sisters were worried that you were hungry, so we planned to go to the mountain to dig some wild vegetables." Lu Yaojie said lightly.
