Chapter 4
After entering the house, Nanzhi saw that the dog was sleeping soundly. He was not disturbed by the farce just now. He took two sweet potatoes and boiled them in a pot. Then Nanzhi went out to find the village doctor.

Since he has some money in his hand, he must ask the doctor to check him first, so as not to have any troubles.

The village doctor is very close to Shen's house, only a quarter of an hour away.

The old man took the dog's pulse and checked it again before reassuring Nan Zhi that it was nothing serious.

"However, the child is in poor health now..." After that, he didn't say anything.

The Shen family is now just the two of them, poor and poor, how can there be anything to supplement the child's body, seeing Nan Zhi's sloppy footsteps, he probably hasn't eaten for three days.

"Uncle Wang, I understand. Tell me how much the consultation fee is."

"Forget it, forget it, I didn't do anything." The old man waved his hand and was about to go home with the medicine box on his back.

"Uncle Wang, wait a minute, we still have to pay the consultation fee, otherwise it won't sound good if it gets out." Nan Zhi took out twenty coins from his pocket and was about to stuff them into Mr. Wang's hand.

"It's okay. I didn't do anything when I came here this time. If you really want to give it, just give me a couple of pennies."

The two chatted for a long time, and finally Mr. Wang took five Wen and left.

Looking at the dog who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Nan Zhi's heart suddenly felt sore.

Then went to the kitchen.

The sweet potatoes were cooking in the pot, and the sweet aroma wafted out, causing her stomach to squirm, and the empty stomach made her feel like she was hungry and eating each other.

After scooping up half a bowl of water for boiling sweet potatoes in the pot, he drank it slowly, and Nanzhi felt better after the hot soup with a hint of sweetness entered his stomach.

Waiting for the sweet potatoes to be cooked, Nanzhi scooped all the "sweet water" in the pot into the bowl, not daring to waste it.

Although it looks a little yellow-green, it is sweet to drink.

He took the two half-leaked wild eggs again, put some salt and oil in a bowl, mixed with some warm water, steamed them in a pot, and then Nan Zhi went to call the dog.

The little guy was still a little dazed after he woke up, whimpering and talking about dreaming of wild eggs and brother Shitou.

"Dog, wash your hands quickly, it's time for lunch." Nan Zhi patted the dog's head and put it down silently.

My hands are also very dirty.

The couple washed their faces and hands before going to bring "lunch."

It's just two sweet potatoes, a small bowl of egg custard and a large bowl of sweet potato water.

Gou'er, who used to frown at Nanzhi, had bright eyes, as if he saw some delicious food.

"Mother, there are sweet potatoes and egg custard!" Gou'er's eyes were filled with admiration, and Nan Zhi's eyes were sour.

"The dog picked up the eggs, and the sweet potatoes were also exchanged for eggs. This meal is thanks to the dogs."

The dog who ate a meal was satisfied. Not only was he full today, but he also had egg custard.

Even Nanzhi was stuffed by the little guy and ate two mouthfuls of egg custard.

Looking at the silly dog ​​stroking his belly, Nanzhi sighed in his heart, this child is really sensible, even though the original owner is weak, she taught him very well.

The sun outside was scorching, Nanzhi originally wanted to go up the mountain to find something to eat, but after seeing the sunshine outside, he still thought about going up the mountain later.

He coaxed the dog to go to the house to rest.

She sat alone in the main room looking at the whitened ground in a daze.

Why did she travel here?Now that she's here, does it mean that Gou'er's mother has starved to death?
It is now the end of June in the lunar calendar, and there is still more than a month before the autumn harvest. Unfortunately, there is a severe drought this year, and more than half of the grain in the field has been sunburned to death.

In Nanzhi's memory, sweet potatoes and potatoes were distributed by the government last year. Each village had [-] catties of each, and Lizheng distributed them to the villagers for planting.

People in the village don't really believe how much the new grain can produce. Every household only needs some, and they don't grow much. Everyone's family has to be emptied.

Who would have thought that the least favored sweet potato could save lives in this age?
Thinking about the land he had sold, Nanzhi sighed. Although the other family is having a hard time this year, at least they can fill their stomachs. At worst, they can get some new food until the autumn harvest. It's not like my family doesn't even have sweet potatoes. A few, it seems that in addition to raising cubs, I have to buy land to grow food.

It was probably after two o'clock in the afternoon that Nan Zhi went to wake the dog up.

Although the dog was young, he was very obedient. He didn't ask Nan Zhi what he was doing up the mountain, and obediently carried a small bamboo basket and followed her.

There is a large hill behind Lihua Village. People in the village usually go west. I heard that there were wild wolves in the east and killed two hunters from other places. After that, no one dared to go up the east mountain.

When I arrived at Nanzhi in front of the mountain, many people in the village went to the mountain to dig wild vegetables. She might not be able to find something to eat if she went to the west mountain now.

Although she still has 95 Wen to spend, she doesn't want to buy food in the village.

One is that the people in the village don’t have much food, not to mention that the drought is so severe now, who knows if there will be a harvest this year, and the other is that most people in the village now live on the sweet potatoes saved last year. She wants to make money to buy some fine grains for the dogs Eat with whole grains.

Looking at the two completely different roads, Nanzhi ruthlessly went up the mountain to the east with the hatchet in one hand and the dog in the other.

Compared to starving to death at home with the dog, she is willing to take a gamble. She doesn't believe that her luck can be so bad as to meet a wolf that hasn't been seen for more than ten years.

Due to the prolonged drought, the original road up the mountain has been covered by weeds, so the couple can only move slowly into the mountain.

After walking for less than half an hour, we arrived at a slightly open area.

Looking at the surrounding trees, Nanzhi still felt a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, so he just told the dog to look around for wild vegetables, and not to run away.

With the dog's guarantee, Nanzhi squatted down and felt around. She actually knew very few wild vegetables, and in the current year, most of the plants that could grow were inedible.

The couple groped for a long time and only found two or three catties of mother-in-law Ding. Looking at the grass in the dog's small basket, Nan Zhi burst into tears.

At the beginning, I thought it was fun to watch the main character eat grass in Survival in the Wild, but now it's my turn.

It's really the way of heaven that loves reincarnation, and the sky will spare no one.

Seeing that the sun wasn't about to set, Nan Zhi felt a little reconciled, now he could only be groping around in a small area outside, would he be able to get a bigger harvest if he walked inside?

Looking at those mother-in-law Ding who looked happy like a dog who had picked up money, Nan Zhi was still ready to walk inside again.

Although it might be dangerous to go into the mountains, she would be even more worried if she put the little dog here.

It's better to take it with you.

The two women walked one after the other, Nanzhi waved a hatchet in front to open the way, and the dog obediently followed behind.

After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, Nanzhi really had no strength, and the little food he ate at noon must have been digested long ago.

Looking at the fallen leaves around Nanzhi throwing the basket on the ground, sure enough, how can she, a non-chief, have any good luck?

I'm afraid that God wants to throw her into this world to starve to death.

Who knew that she felt a pain in her buttocks as soon as she sat on the ground, and she almost jumped up directly.

Picking up the culprit, Nan Zhi, opened his eyes wide in disbelief, rubbed his eyes again and again to make sure he was right, and then burst into tears.
