Chapter 83 Vomiting
There were more and more people queuing up to exchange taro. Ning Qingxi and Ning Changrong both came to help greet the villagers.

After working for a long time, I sent everyone away.

After changing the taro one by one, they left together with smiles on their faces. On the way, they were discussing why Wang Xiujuan had so many taro in her house. Everyone guessed and there was only one answer, and that was when they had been running into the mountains for the past few days.But no one dares to go in if they are capable, and no one dares to venture into the deep mountains until the end when they can’t survive. Many people in the village used to drill into the deep mountains and old forests because of stuttering, and they couldn’t get out in the end. Nobody knows how many there are.

But some people have hot eyes and think in their hearts that they still have to go in a little bit more. They don't go in deep, so they just join with a few people and go a little further in.

When the people who had finished changing were walking back, they met Mrs. Lai who was returning home with a full load.

Anyone with sharp eyes could see that her basket was full. Today, most people went to scrape saltpetre for taro, and some people went up the mountain to pick it.

Seeing her house like this, most of the people also reacted. When they lined up with them, this Lai Pozi had already gone to the mountain!Many regretted that they slapped their thighs with their hands and chopped the floor with their feet.

But it was already late at this time, and it was not safe to go up the mountain. If he accidentally fed the animals, he would have to wait until tomorrow morning.

On the second day, everyone learned to be smart. After all, taro is more important, but it is not the case that the whole family stays at home and scrapes saltpetre. One or two people are sent up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and the others scrape saltpeter at home. I went to Wang Xiujuan's house to change, but only let the dolls in the family line up to change, and the big one brought the small one.

Adults carry baskets on their backs, and those who have tools at home take them, and those who don’t have tools go straight up the mountain empty-handed to exchange taro and dig wild vegetables.

After several days in a row, Ning Changrong and the others brought less and less taro from the mountain.

In the morning, a golden glutinous rice ball hung in the sky, exuding a warm atmosphere.

Ning Qingxi went down to the cellar to take a look at the stored grain, and then went back to the yard to deal with the saltpeter together.

While working, Ning Qingxi said: "Father, more and more people come from our village to exchange saltpeter, so why don't we run out of taro?" Why can't we use their stored grain to exchange it?Are they going to drink the northwest wind?

While filtering the saltpeter particles, Ning Changrong replied: "You are overthinking this. There are plenty of saltpeter. Even if you want to exchange all the taro, they have nothing to exchange for you. Every household has just a little. If you want to scrape, you have to wait for the walls to dilute the crystals, which cannot be formed in a short time."

Ning Qingxi was right when she thought about it, the toilet in her house was almost scraped clean, Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei's family scraped together, and the crystals that could be scraped off in the past few days were getting less and less, let alone other people in the village. Those households plus children, the population is much larger than theirs.

While Ning Changrong asked the villagers to help them collect saltpeter, he did not give up going up the mountain to look for it, but so far he still found nothing.

Since the day when Ning Qingxi was worried, the number of people in the village who came to exchange saltpeter has become less and less, and even their family can't scrape any spar.

……

Since the officers and soldiers cleared the refugees, except for a few scattered people who appeared outside the village at the beginning, they were met by people digging wild vegetables, and the refugees were never seen again.

At night, when Li Dafeng came back from the outside retching, Ning Laosan looked at her worriedly: "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? Are you all right? Why don't you ask your mother to take a look?"

Li Dafeng resisted the desire to vomit, with a disgusted expression on his face, he sat listlessly on the kang, "Don't bother mother, it's late at night, mother must be asleep already."

Ning Lao San scratched his head, a little puzzled, "Is it because the food we ate at night was not clean? It shouldn't be, don't we both eat the same thing? Why am I okay? Could it be that the mushrooms are poisonous?! "The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and a little restless.

Li Dafeng said weakly: "That mushroom is what we usually eat the most, where is it poisonous, if it is really poisonous, how can it only poison me and not you, you eat more than me."

"By the way, Changgui, let me tell you something."

Ning Laosan was right when he thought about it, he could only think about going to see his mother tomorrow.

He answered casually: "What's the matter?"

Li Dafeng's eyes flickered with worry, "Our family's stone powder is almost scratched. I want to go back to my mother's house tomorrow. I haven't been back for so long, and I don't know how they are doing." Since the closure of the village, she She never left the village again, and the refugees were driven away. Li Dafeng was only picking wild vegetables on the mountain next to the village, and there was nowhere to find out what was going on in her home.They are all having such a hard time here, and they don't know how her parents and brothers are doing at home.

Fortunately, their mother-in-law is there to help, and they have changed a lot of taro in the past few days. In addition to some stored grain bought earlier, there are more and more wild vegetables on the mountain, so they can get through it slowly no matter what.

The situation of her natal family was suspended.

Ning Lao San naturally did not stop him, "Go back, if you are healthy tomorrow, I will go back with you. It is not safe for you to go back alone. I don't know what happened to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. When we go back, there will be many No, a few taro can still be given away.”

I think he didn't eat less food from his father-in-law back then, coaxing his daughter-in-law to take back home how much food.

After hearing what he said, Li Dafeng was a little moved, she guessed that she was not mistaken about this man.

"Ugh..." Just as he was about to say something thankful, a feeling of nausea surged up, and he couldn't suppress it, Li Dafeng covered his mouth, opened the door quickly, and rushed out.

Now Ning Lao San couldn't sit still, put on his heels and went out.

Wang Xiujuan heard some scattered movements outside, and the voice seemed to be her third son and third daughter-in-law, she was so sleepy, she raised her eyelids for a long time without any response, and finally fell asleep again.

Ning Qingxi was mumbling something, turned over, and didn't look like she was about to wake up.

Li Dafeng retched outside for a while, drank the white water Ning Lao San brought over, and felt comfortable in his stomach, the two of them went back to the house before finally falling asleep.

In the early morning, Li Dafeng, who usually doesn't eat breakfast, got up and made breakfast for an unprecedented time. After all, they had to go back to her mother's house for a long time. home.

In fact, the kitchen at home has already been partitioned off. Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei each built a small kitchen. The original one is now used by Wang Xiujuan and the others.
