Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 1 Too Hungry

"I'm so hungry..." Liu Qingcao lay on a broken wooden bed, opened her eyes with difficulty, and uttered a few words dryly.

It's been two days, she Liu Qingcao has been in this strange world for two days, and she hasn't eaten a single rice, if it wasn't for the stomach cramps from hunger, she really wanted to do this, but death is not so easy.

"Sister, sister, drink some water."

Liu Qingcao raised her eyes and looked at the person who appeared suddenly, in one word, thin, thin, thin.

This is the younger brother of the original owner, Liu Jiangbei, who is also her only relative now. She has gone to nowhere for the past two days.

Looking at the little man, Liu Qingcao really didn't have the strength to ask questions.

Water mixed with earthy smell was poured into her mouth, and Liu Qingcao suppressed her nausea and swallowed it.

After drinking half a bowl of water, Liu Qingcao closed her eyes panting to relieve the fatigue caused by hunger these days.

The original owner, she was starved to death, that kind of despair makes her feel the same now, with lingering fears in her heart.

It is said that people rely on mountains to eat mountains, and water to eat water, but she is a 12-year-old girl with no one to help her. She eats grass roots and bark all day long to feed her hunger. I can't get up, I'm starving to death...

Her ten-year-old brother, who hadn't seen anyone for two days, woke up, and she didn't have a flash of light. She inherited the original owner's weakness and couldn't help herself. I'm afraid that if Liu Jiangbei came back later, she would go with the original owner. .

"Sister, this is the rice ball that Tieniu gave me."

From the pocket of his tattered clothes, Liu Jiangbei carefully took out a palm-sized crispy rice crust, one side was a little mushy, and it lay quietly in Liu Jiangbei's black and thin palm.

Liu Qingcao wanted to cry, this poor life is really terrible, thinking about the previous life, dogs ate better than them.

She was so hungry that she didn't even want to lift her eyelids, but she couldn't help it. If she was still alive, she had to find a way.

"Jiangbei, let's soak it in a bowl." Liu Qingcao thought about soaking it, the amount would be a little more, so that both of them could eat some, and it would save effort.

Liu Jiangbei listened to his sister's words, put the crispy rice into the pottery bowl that Liu Qingcao drank just now, and waited quietly.

After about 10 minutes, Liu Qingcao couldn't wait any longer.

She asked Liu Jiangbei to bring the bowl over, picked up two wooden sticks, and put half of the steamed rice crust in the bowl into his mouth, and he left the remaining half for Liu Jiangbei.

Liu Jiangbei licked his lips, finished the rest of the bowl, and sat silently beside Liu Qingcao, without speaking, just quietly looking at the bowl in his hand.

After eating something and drinking some water, Liu Qingcao relaxed for a while before sitting up from the wooden bed.

Looking at the skinny younger brother in front of her, Liu Qingcao sighed helplessly.

"Jiangbei, where have you been these two days?"

Liu Qingcao couldn't bear it any longer. For two days, she always knew that there was a younger brother in her memory, but she hadn't seen him for a long time.

When she was lying on the bed, she thought about dying like this, but now that her body regained some strength, she didn't want to die anymore.

Liu Jiangbei looked up, looked at Liu Qingcao, and finally said hesitatingly: "Sister, I went to help Tie Niu's family pick up the rice that fell from the field. He said that he would give me a steamed bun for three days, but he didn't have enough time... He lied to me, that's not what he said when he went..."

As he spoke, Liu Jiangbei's mouth narrowed, and tears flowed from his eyes.

Liu Qingcao shook her head, what a silly brother.

It seemed that she was coaxed again, and she worked for two days in vain. She thought, if it wasn't for her sister, she might have to work for another day.

Tie Niu's house is quite far away from where they live. A ten-year-old child, who doesn't have enough food and clothing, will take some time to travel.

Liu Qingcao patted Liu Jiangbei's head, and wiped away the tears on his face with her hands.

He said softly: "Jiangbei, it's okay, my sister will go find something to eat later, Tieniu and the others are always lying to people, don't play with them, if they coax you to sell, what will you do?"

Liu Qingcao's family has stayed here for so many years, and they have never heard of anyone abducting a child in the village, but it's always good to be on the safe side.

When Liu Jiangbei heard what Liu Qingcao said, his body shrank involuntarily.

Seeing him like this, Liu Qingcao knew that Liu Jiangbei was afraid.

For the next time, Liu Qingcao knew that she couldn't waste any more time.

Even if it is climbing, Liu Qingcao has to climb to the back mountain to find something to eat.

"Come on, Jiangbei, let's go to the back mountain!"

Liu Qingcao scratched her withered and yellow hair behind her ears, and struggled to get off the bed, her eyes were full of determination.

Liu Jiangbei looked at his sister, stood up from the ground, and followed Liu Qingcao.

Anyway, he only has an older sister, who can do whatever she says.

Liu Qingcao stood in the thatched shed, looking around, but didn't see anything useful, the most valuable things in the house now, a clay pot and two broken clay bowls.

nothing...

That's it, let's start from scratch.

Liu Qingcao smiled wryly.

Holding Liu Jiangbei's hand, Liu Qingcao walked towards the back mountain. At the foot of the mountain was wasteland, more precisely, rocks.

Not to mention wild vegetables, there are not a few wild grasses.

Going deeper, there are a few pine trees that are not mature.

If you want to find something to eat, you have to go deep.

The original owner had never been there, and only heard that there were man-eating beasts inside. Every time he thought of those words, the original owner would walk around in fright, fearing that the wild beasts would take him away and eat him.

After all, Liu Qingcao is not the original owner. If he is going to starve to death, he doesn't care about the beast or not. It's a serious matter if he can find something to eat. If there are wild beasts, let's talk about it.

Going to the deep mountains, Liu Qingcao found two larger wooden sticks and held them in his hands. There are a lot of mosquitoes, snakes and rats in summer, so it's always safer to beat them.

Along the way, Liu Qingcao carefully observed the movement around her. The birds on the trees, the occasional pheasants and snakes popped out of the ground, all of which made Liu Qingcao's heart twitch in shock.

Liu Qingcao: That's scary!

The wormwood on the side was bitter and astringent, unless she was so hungry that she had her last breath left, she would definitely not eat willow grass.

As for the other things, Liu Qingcao looked at the basket she had woven with rattan, and there were three edible wild mushrooms in it.

On the way, I also picked some thorn bubbles, and I ate a full meal of sweet and sour.

Along the way, stop and go, Liu Qingcao didn't see anything good.

Liu Qingcao didn't stop until she reached a nest of bamboo forest.

"Water bamboo shoots?" Liu Qingcao moved one, held it in her hand, looked at it, and was sure it was.

"Jiangbei, let's move the bamboo shoots, move like this, keep the small ones, and come again next time when they grow up."

Liu Jiangbei looked at the bamboo shoots emerging from the soil, and moved them according to the size of the bamboo shoots.

The bamboo forest is not big, but there are not many, enough for the two of them to eat.

Seeing that the basket was full, Liu Qingcao stopped and sat aside to peel the shells vigorously.

Liu Qingcao knew that there was not much to peel out of a full basket, so she had to bring as much as possible down the mountain, at least to ensure enough food for two days.

Liu Jiangbei was still moving the bamboo shoots within the sight of Liu Qingcao, and when the shells of Liu Qingcao were almost peeled off, there were not many bamboo shoots left.

"Jiangbei, go, go home."

Lifting the heavy basket, Liu Qingcao finally had the courage to live.

Along the way, Liu Qingcao didn't stop at all, and quickly followed the marks she made down the mountain.

After returning to the thatched shed, Liu Qingcao came out of a state of high tension, and her whole body was limp on the ground.

At the beginning, she was not afraid of the beasts in the back mountain, but at this moment, she felt the lingering fear after putting all her eggs in one basket.
