Fleeing from famine and farming: I made a fortune by relying on medical skills

Chapter 4 Finding Food
The riverbed was extremely dry, and when one stepped on it, the cracked riverbed was crushed instantly. It could be seen that the water had been lacking for a long time, and it was already very dry.

Huang Zisu walked towards the middle of the river bed.

After feeling that the sand on the soles of her feet had softened a little, stepping on the river bed would neither sink her feet nor dry out, Huang Zisu stopped walking towards the center of the river bed.

With a spear in one hand, she plunged into the wet riverbed. After meeting no resistance, she pulled out the spear and quickly plunged into other riverbeds.

After walking a distance of seven or eight meters, Huang Zisu plunged into the wet riverbed with a spear, but the spear in his hand did not encounter resistance, nor did he find anything, which made Huang Zisu a little frustrated.

On the contrary, the four brothers, Huang Tiandong, Huang Maidong, Huang Baishu, and Huang Cangzhu, saw a few small fish in the center of the riverbed where there was flowing water, and they all started to scream.

"Grandma, grandma, there are small caviar in the place where the water flows, but unfortunately they are too small to catch."

"Don't mess with me, haven't you heard what Susu said? There are mussels, snails, loaches, fish, and small crabs hidden in the river bed! You look around for these." Huang Zhang saw four silly grandsons Wanting to catch those little caviar, she hurriedly shouted.

The little fish roe was too small to fit between their teeth, and Huang Zhang also hoped that they could find something to eat, so that they could eat longer on the way to escape from famine.

Huang Zisu didn't care about her four elder brothers. When the spear in her hand was thrusting towards a place on the river bed, the spear in her hand met resistance obviously, as if it had been inserted into a hard object.

Huang Zisu was overjoyed when she saw this, and she had some guesses in her heart. She quickly dug up the place with a spear, revealing a river clam the size of a human palm.

She hastily pushed it away, ignoring the mud on the mussel, shook it, and smelled it again, and saw that the mussel had no foul smell, it was a live mussel.

Huang Zisu picked up the mussel, and shouted at the members of the Huang family who were walking on the river bank: "Grandpa, grandma, I found a live mussel, we can have extra meat for dinner tonight."

"what?"

"It's really a river clam."

"Great!"

Everyone in the Huang family saw that after Huang Zisu dug the mussel from the river, they all showed joy. Since they can dig the first mussel, they can dig the second and third mussels from the river to solve the problem of food for their family. The problem.

Huang Lian was the most excited among the members of the Huang family. He was so happy that he didn't even push the canoe away. He just strode towards the direction of Huang Zisu in the river.

He took the mussel from Huang Zisu's hand, kissed it again and again, and said with joy on his face: "Brother, I won't push the cart anymore. If you push the canoe cart, I will come to find the mussel too."

"You all go down to the river, and you all learned Susu's way to find mussels. How long our family can eat meat in the future depends on you." Mrs. Huang Zhang saw three daughters-in-law and granddaughters saw Susu When they found mussels in the river, they all showed joy on their faces, and they all wanted to go down the river to find something to eat.

After all, the more food they can find, the farther they can go on the way to flee the famine, and the greater the chance of surviving.

"Okay! I'm going to find something to eat." The youngest Bai Shao heard her grandma speak, and she quickly jumped into the river with a small bundle on her back, and followed her elder brother and sister to find food in the river.

The Huang family lined up in a straight line like locusts crossing the border, searching the river for anything to eat as they walked forward.

Not to mention, it really made everyone in the Huang family find something to eat.

From time to time, a living screw was found, and occasionally a river mussel was found.

Even the second uncle of the Huang family accidentally found a catfish hiding in the mud in the river.

The second uncle of the Huang family who caught the catfish was very happy, and everyone in the Huang family also looked happy.

While on the road, looking for food in the river, the Huang family was full of confidence and expectation for their future life.

With surplus food at home and new food to eat, everyone in the Huang family felt relieved.

"I just slept here all night today, old lady, you are ready for today's dinner." On this day, at the beginning of the You period, Huang Yaozi saw a few big trees on the bank of the river passing by, and he pointed to this place as today's food. The place where they rest.

After traveling for so long, he was also very tired and hungry.

Today I saw that my family found many mussels and snails in the river. I haven't eaten meat for many days. Huang Yaozi was already hungry and craved meat.

"Mother, what shall we have for dinner today?" Huang Lian hurriedly came to his mother with a wooden bucket and asked with a smile after the second uncle of the Huang family heard that he was going to go on the road and sleep in the open to prepare dinner.

"Just eat this fish, and then eat three mussels.

The remaining mussels, snails, and a few scattered loaches will all be peeled and smoked dry later, and will be saved for us to eat on the road in the future. "Huang Zhang looked at the contents of the wooden barrel, and then at his family.

Seeing everyone looking at him with bright eyes, Huang Zhang gritted his teeth and gave up all his money.

"Grandma, I think half of the mussels will be kept, and the rest will be eaten today.

You see, we only walked along the river for a day today, and we found more than a dozen mussels the size of an adult's palm, screws as small as two catties, scattered loach and fish weighing a catty.

Presumably we will continue to go up tomorrow, and we can still find so much to eat in a day, just in case, let's keep some of them for a rainy day. "

"Mother, what Susu said is right, I think we should do what Susu said." Before the others could speak, Huang Lian quickly echoed what his niece said.

It seems that her second uncle is gluttonous.

"Grandpa! Grandma, I also discovered that the more we go up, the greater the current in the river, and the more food we can find than the one down below.

It seems that we are getting farther and farther away from Qing'an Mansion, and maybe we have already escaped from Qing'an Mansion. "Huang Baishu discovered this, and he excitedly said to Huang Yaozi and Zhao Shi.

"I also discovered this, so we will soon be able to find a place to stay and settle down.

Mother, if we find these foods today, there is no need for us to eat them in a hurry.

Only when you eat it in your own stomach, it is your own.

It would be a pity if it was damaged or rotten. "Huang Lian kept eating without saying a word, and his eyes were fixed on the mussels and fish in the wooden barrel.

As for the settlement, Huang Lian is not worried that their family will have no money or food.

His father and elder brother are doctors, and they can make money back from a visit to a doctor or a doctor.

"You can't do without eating in two or three sentences, you are gluttonous.

Forget it, since that's the case, just do as Susu said.

For the elder family, you start a pot to boil water, for the second family, you kill the fish, peel the mussels for meat, wash the snails, pick out the meat, and then cook in a pot. "Huang Zhang heard that what his grandson and granddaughter said was reasonable. Minger continued to walk along the river and could find so much food. In addition, his family hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Huang Zhang thought over and over again. Still had a great meal tonight.
