Chapter 3
As soon as Zhou Yue went out, she walked towards the foot of the mountain. People in the village were all digging wild vegetables at the foot of Daze Mountain. At this time, there were no harvests, and many people still chose to eat wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

Zhou Yue's house is still very close to the foot of the mountain. It is on the outskirts of the village and it is convenient to go up the mountain.

"Oh, isn't this Zhou Yue from the Zhou family? Are you feeling better?" Zhou Yue looked at the aunt who was holding a basket in front of her, thinking about matching identities.

"It's Aunt Wang! I'm in good health, why don't I come out to dig some wild vegetables today! Have you finished digging?" Zhou Yue remembered that this person was Aunt Wang's family at the east end of the village.

"Yeah, there is not much food at home, and the new food hasn't arrived yet. If you don't dig some wild vegetables, is your father's leg better?"

"It's better. Now I'm resting in bed and recovering slowly." Zhou Yue replied politely.

"That's good, take your time, life will be fine." Aunt Wang comforted Zhou Yue.

"Yes, auntie, we'll all be fine. I went to dig wild vegetables, auntie, and I won't be able to dig them if it's too late." Zhou Yue ended the topic, thinking about going up the mountain as soon as possible.

"Okay, okay, let's go!"

At the foot of the mountain, looking into the distance, you can see scattered villagers digging wild vegetables. There are adults and children, all of them are small and thin. In this era, even having a full meal is a luxury.

Zhou Yue went into the mountain by herself, looked around to see if there was anything to eat, and dug out the wild vegetables she saw while walking, and entered the periphery of the mountain without knowing it.

There were trees all around, and some creepers were entangled on the ground in twos and threes. After walking for a while, Zhou Yue saw a dead tree with some fungus growing densely on it.

"Agaric! It seems that we can add vegetables!" Zhou Yue walked over and reached out to pick off all the fungus from the tree and put them in the basket.

After picking the fungus, Zhou Yue secretly remembered this location, so she could come to pick it next time.

Searching around, I found a few mushrooms. Zhou Yue didn't miss them one by one, and collected them all. The family was running out of food, so I had to take everything I could eat home!

Continuing to walk forward, I found a patch of mushrooms with black mesh heads standing on the ground one by one. "Morels! There are so many good things!" Zhou Yue's eyes lit up and she picked them up quickly.

I stopped after I collected some of the big ones. The back basket is so big that I can’t fill it all up. I have to see if there are other good things.Anyway, there is a large slice here, so I don’t have to worry about not being able to eat it.

When she came to a bamboo forest, Zhou Yue felt a little tired, her body was still too weak to walk this far.

Sitting on a rock to rest, a gray animal ran by in front of her eyes, Zhou Yue quickly threw the hatchet over, and hit it with a bang!
Zhou Yue walked over and saw that it was a bamboo rat!What a big one!There must be one about 5 catties. The machete was chopping on the head, and it was still not dead, and it screamed "Wow, wow".

Zhou Yue made another cut and gave it a complete finish, picked it up and put it in the back basket, and there was meat to eat!
The great victory inspired Zhou Yue's confidence. After waiting for a while, she saw another bamboo rat, which was a little further away. Zhou Yue got up and chased it, took aim, and threw out the machete in her hand!

There was another "bang"!The bamboo rat fell to the ground!

"Haha, tell you to run!" Zhou Yue mentioned the bamboo rat. This one was not as big as the one just now, and it only weighed three or four catties. After putting it in the back basket, I looked at the sky, and decided to go here today, and continue to deepen it another day. .

I dug a few bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, and some wild vegetables and mushrooms in the woods. The basket was full, and I put the wild vegetables on top, ready to go back.

It was almost noon when we got to the door of the house. Everyone in the village was eating at this time, so I didn't meet anyone.

Pushing open the door, "Mom, I'm back!" Zhou Yue walked into the yard and came to the door of the kitchen.

Qian Guilan was cooking when she heard Zhou Yue's voice and turned her head, "You are back, mother is still worried that you are in danger, are you tired?" She said and gave Zhou Yue the back basket.

Qian Guilan shook her back, "It's so heavy, what are you packing?"

Zhou Yue took out the wild vegetables on top, revealing the bamboo shoots, "Good stuff, mother, what are these?"

"Isn't this just a bamboo shoot? Why do you dig it up? Back it up, how heavy it is!" Qian Guilan looked at the bamboo shoot with disgust.

"Mom, this is edible. It's delicious. It can be used for cooking, making soup, and making pickles!" Zhou Yue taught Qian Guilan how to eat bamboo shoots.

"I can't eat this, it's bitter. No one in our village eats this." Qian Guilan persuaded, it seems that the child is very hungry and wants to eat everything.

"Boil it with water once and it won't taste bitter. I'll make it for you to try!" Zhou Yue decided to cook by herself, and we can prove it!
"Mother! Mother! We're back!" Before Qian Guilan could speak, a voice came from outside.

"Hey, your brothers are back!" Qian Guilan said as she walked out.

Zhou Yue followed and saw three boys walking into the yard, they were the three brothers of the Zhou family.

The three brothers of the Zhou family were wearing coarse cloth, which was covered with dust and had a few patches. The three of them were skinny, their faces were dirty, and their appearance was hard to tell.

"Little sister! How are you, little sister?" The boss Zhou Lin saw Zhou Yue, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Really, what a little girl!" The second child Zhou Qing and the third child Zhou Ming said in unison.

The three of them came forward together, the second brother Zhou Qing was impatient, and grabbed Zhou Yue's hand, "Little sister, you are finally healed, the second brother is so anxious to death."

"Go, little sister, it's just right. Don't scare her. Little sister, do you still have a headache? The elder brother brought you candies." The eldest brother Zhou Lin opened the second child's hand, took out two candies from his pocket and put them in Zhou Yue's hand.

"Okay, look at your faces, it's dark, don't hurry to wash it, don't make the little girl dirty!" the third child Zhou Ming said, Zhou Lin and Zhou Qing glanced at each other, and hurried away Open to wash.

"Hey, little sister, are you in better health? Third brother is worried about you. I feel uneasy working in the town these days." Zhou Ming asked when he saw the two brothers who were obstructive to the eyes had left.

It seems that this third brother is the smartest, and he sent the other two away with one sentence. "Third Brother, I'm already in good health, thank you Third Brother for your concern."

"Hey, thank you third brother, third brother is going to wash it too, don't get the dust on you!" Zhou Ming scratched his head and ran to wash it.

"I really forgot my mother when I had a younger sister. I haven't said that yet! Brats!" Qian Guilan joked as she looked at the children.

"Mom, let's cook first, brothers must be hungry. I'll cook at noon today!" Zhou Yue thought of her bamboo rat and decided to eat meat!
"Okay, don't be tired, Yueyue, mother will help you." Seeing Zhouyue's high spirits, Qian Guilan couldn't bear to interrupt her.Anyway, it’s just cooking porridge, I don’t have any skills, and I’m guiding by the side, so there’s no problem.

"Okay, I'll take out the bamboo rat!" Zhou Yue turned around and went back to the basket, took out the bamboo shoots, and then stretched out her hand to bring out the bamboo rat.

"Ah! Mouse! Put Yueyue down!" Qian Guilan shouted nervously.
