How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 5 The caring eldest son
Although she was mentally prepared, Chen Feiyan, who had never suffered much, never imagined how difficult it would be for a woman with small feet to walk more than a mile.

She thought of the legendary mermaid who drank the wizard's potion and walked on the road after her tail turned into legs.Every step is like walking on a sharp knife.Bloody.Continuously thrusting the soles of her feet.

In ancient times, there was no cement, let alone cement roads.

All kinds of ups and downs made Chen Feiyan suffer a lot at this time.

Although Chen Xiaoyi supported her arm, Chen Feiyan still sprained her foot accidentally and fell to the ground.

It rained the day before yesterday.Many of these mountain roads in the village are not dry.

The place where Chen Feiyan fell was a small puddle.

She got up from the ground covered in mess.She thought for a while and asked Chen Xiaoyi to pick up a tree trunk for her.She held the tree trunk as a walking stick with one hand and supported him with the other hand as she swayed towards the river.

The mother and son walked for more than ten minutes for more than a mile.

After walking for so long at a distance of less than 1000 meters, Chen Feiyan couldn't help but mutter in her heart, "If a bandit comes to this village one day and wants to escape, will he be able to save his life?"

Chen Feiyan didn't want to take any chances.She knew very well that if something happened at home, it would be impossible for her to escape.

Thinking of this, an idea came into Chen Feiyan's mind.An idea that sounds a bit naive and bold.

From now on, she no longer wants to be such a woman with small feet who has inconvenient hands and feet and needs help when traveling!
She wants to give herself a leg up!
She is only 25 years old now, so her bones should not be completely closed yet.

If these three-inch golden lotus-like feet are soaked in hot water or medicine, and if you are fine, then you can give your feet more massage, it should have a little effect, right?
Although she was not sure what the results would be, she was determined to give it a try!
……

Finally reaching an uncultivated river beach, Chen Feiyan took the grass cages from Chen Xiaoyi's hand. After choosing a location with quiet water and shelter from the wind, she tied the grass cages with the grass ropes she kneaded. , and then slowly put it into the water little by little.

Chen Xiaoyi observed her.

Seeing that she had put up five grass cages by herself and was still tired, he quickly took out the rusty sickle he had been holding in his hand and started cutting the grass.

These reeds are more than two meters high.Carry it back to dry, and then spread it on the kang where it will be warmest.Moreover, his mother had already told him that these grasses could also be used to make grass cages and other good things.

Chen Xiaoyi was working hard, and Chen Feiyan was not idle either.She stood quietly on the edge of the river beach, carefully observing the grass cages she had placed.

The cage had limited innards, so she would have to use it at least for a while.

The cage was brought up early, and there must not be many fish in it.If the cage is lifted too slowly, the fish and shrimp will definitely eat the internal organs inside.She gained more than she lost.

Timing is really important.

After waiting for seven or eight minutes, she found that there were small blisters popping up from time to time above a grass cage. Chen Feiyan secretly thought, it should be fine!
So, she took a deep breath, grabbed the straw rope tightly tied to the top of the grass cage, and lifted it up hard.

However, Chen Feiyan does not have much labor experience.She never thought that the dense cage she made herself would weigh after filling it with a cage of water.

More than ten kilograms of water staggered her, who was only 1.5 meters and about seventy kilograms.If Chen Xiao hadn't caught her arm with a quick glance and held her up, she might have fallen headlong into the deep river.After Xiaoxiao bubbled a few bubbles, he completely became a corpse in the water.

Chen Xiaoyi was almost scared out of his wits by his mother just now!

Almost!
It was just a little short of that!

My mother was about to fall into the river.

This Youshui River is very deep. When he was a few years old and could still speak, he saw someone drown in the village.No one dares to go to deep water to rescue people.

Although there is shallow water on the edge of the river beach, in the spring season, the temperature is very low. If you fall in, you will be cramped by the cold, and you will not be able to swim fast.very dangerous.His mother was so weak that she couldn't lift a bucket of water. If she fell, even if he risked his life to save her, he would be seriously ill.

The last serious illness had already made him unable to hear due to the fever. He felt that if he got sick again, he would never see his parents again.

After pulling Chen Feiyan to the pile of cut reed grass, he made a few gestures to her, telling her that he knew the locations of the grass cages and would lift them up himself.

After completing the gestures, Chen Xiaoyi hurried away.

He had to hurry up and get everything done.If there were really fish and shrimps in the grass cage, he would have to hide the things on his way back to avoid being seen by other people in the village.

Otherwise, many people would come to his house and ask him how he caught the fish and how he made the grass cage.

When everyone in the village can weave straw cages, the fish and shrimp in their river will suffer. At that time, it will be very difficult for their family to catch fish and shrimp.

Even though Chen Xiaoyi is only 11 years old this year, he still has some scheming skills.

Worried that his family would suffer a loss, Chen Xiaoyi used all his strength to lift up the five grass cages that had been put into the water.

He pulled open a cage inside and took a look.

He grinned in surprise when he discovered that there really was a small fish with two fingers long here.

Hurrah!

Mom turns out to really have this ability!

A casually constructed grass cage can really catch fish!

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes and felt that it was already daybreak. The hard-working people in the village had all gotten up. He quickly caught all the fish and other things in the five grass cages and threw them in the place he had cut. In the pile of reeds.

Chen Feiyan didn't understand what he meant at first.

I saw Chen Xiaoyi beating the fish and shrimp to death with his hands and feet, and skewering their mouths and bodies with grass. Then, he tied the seven or eight skewered fish to the reed grass.Finally, he wrapped the fish with piles of reeds and grass, suppressed them, and then he picked them up.

He signaled to Chen Feiyan that he would go back later.

Chen Feiyan didn't understand what he meant, but she still smiled and nodded.

Chen Xiaoyi saw it, thought about it, and quickly made signs with her.He ran to the water's edge and found a good place to put the five grass cages containing the minced viscera and meat. Then he helped Chen Feiyan go home while carrying the thick reed grass.

He would put this pile of reeds at home later, and he would have to come over and take a look.

Chen Feiyan was extremely touched when she saw how considerate the child was.

Supporting him, he went back step by step.

Halfway through, I happened to meet a villager.

This man is a man wearing only half of his trousers.He was feeling runny and his face was covered with sores.

As soon as Chen Xiao saw him, he grabbed Chen Feiyan and backed away.

His father told him when he was a child that this man had some kind of disease!You have to stay far away!
Otherwise, you will be infected.
