Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 42: Confrontation (Part )

Summer rains are abundant, the temperature is high, and the vegetation is luxuriant.

If the family didn't have a big "property" like a boat that needed to be looked after, Mei Qian would have thought that she could have pulled up all the turf on the shore when she got off the boat!
"Aqiu!"

Just as Mei Qian carefully put some delicious berries into her pocket and system, she suddenly sneezed.

Mei Qian was not far from the boat at the moment, just near the bushes on the shore.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she could see her father and Li Baizhou chopping wood in front of her, and behind her was their boat.

So, when Mei Qian turned around, she saw her breasts standing on the bow of the boat, looking towards her.

"This girl! Why do you keep complaining when the critical moment comes?"

Mrs. Mei's eyes were sharp, and Mei Qian could see her clearly without even knowing it.

"There's so much to eat, so you just pick small fruits? Even after all the hard work, you don't even know if this fruit can fill a family's stomach."

Because of the wound, Li Baizhou was also on the boat. He was fishing aside and couldn't help but look towards the shore when he heard Mrs. Mei's voice.

It's just that in that green grass, he couldn't tell what was edible and what couldn't be eaten.

"Is there a lot of food on the shore?"

Li Baizhou saw that the fish were much smarter on this non-raining day, so he put down the fishing net in his hand and started chatting with Mrs. Mei.

"Of course, isn't that all food?"

Li Baizhou saw Mrs. Mei's fingers pointing at the shore and making random dots. Li Baizhou felt that his eyes might be damaged.

He was stunned and didn't see what Mrs. Mei was pointing at.

"Old lady, how do you know those edible ones?"

Li Baizhou couldn't help but ask again.

"I don't know if it's okay, just pull it up and let Xiao Hui take a few bites and you'll find out."

Mrs. Mei waved her hand, looked at the little gray donkey over there who was eating reed roots without being picky, and said, "My little gray can eat it, so of course we can eat it, as long as it's not poisonous, right?"

Li Baizhou:? ?
……

"Oh my god? Why is there taro here?"

In addition to picking some delicious wild fruits, Mei Qian also saw some seasoning wild ginger and mint plants on the shore. While collecting these seasoning plants, she unexpectedly found taro.

"what?"

Not far away, Mr. Han, who was being pointed out by Mrs. Mei Shen, heard Mei Qian's exclamation and immediately rushed to Mei Qian carrying a basket full of weeds and edible things.

Mei Qian's mouth twitched as she looked at the contents of her eldest uncle's basket. Han glanced at Mei Qian's basket and pouted in the same way.

Each has his or her own disdain for each other.

"It seems to be taro."

Mei Qian pointed to the taro's iconic big leaves, but Han didn't recognize it.

There are also vendors selling taro over there. Because it is transported from the south, the price is always not cheap. Han has only seen it but has never eaten it.

When she heard Mei Qian talking about taro, she became curious.

"where?"

Realizing that Han didn't seem to recognize the taro leaves, Mei Qian lowered her head and dug up the soft mud. Soon Han saw that Mei Qian had really dug up several lumps of soil the size of a baby's fist.

It's probably not yet mature. The taro is still small overall, but there's still a lot that can't hold it.

Mei Qian put the lump of soil in the water and rinsed it. Only then did Han see clearly that it was really taro 1
"Ouch! This is good stuff!"

Han's eyes immediately lit up. She looked at the taro and then at the big leaves and said excitedly: "I just saw several leaves like this!" "Then uncle, why don't you transport these back to the ship first? Are the baskets that come out filled with taro?"

After being reminded by Mei Qian, Han also realized that her backpack was full. To be honest, she was sure how much of the food she was carrying was edible, but what Mei Qian found was really edible!

"Then you dig it first, I'll be back later!"

Han ran away in a hurry. Mei Qian turned around and immediately divided half of the taro she dug out and threw it into her own space. Mei Qian put the rest into the basket on her back.

Different from Han's and Mei Qian's work, Mei Erhu and Mei Shitou mainly cut firewood, but Mei Shitou's temperament is more lively than Mei Erhu's, and they dug out several bird's nests while chopping firewood.

He had just carefully stuffed a few bird eggs into his waist pocket, then bent down to pack up the two bundles of firewood and was about to go back, when suddenly his eyes blurred, and a delicate body bumped into his arms.

"Ah! Cui'er! (My balls!)"

Compared with Mei Shitou shouting out to care about the bird eggs he had just installed, this voice was high and penetrating, and even Mei Qian on the shore heard it!

"what happened?"

When Mei Qian and her father rushed towards her cousin with a backpack on her back, she saw two women struggling with Mei Shitou.

Looking carefully, it was still the two women who were having trouble with her cousin.

"Oh! What are you doing?"

In terms of love and affection, Mei Qian's father is definitely not as rich as her cousin. Mei Qian Shitou was pulled by a woman and a girl, blushing and not daring to fight back. As a result, Mei Erhu rushed forward with a knife!
Mei Qian saw that the woman was even more frightened when she saw Mei Erhu charging towards her with a knife, and she even pushed the girl next to her into Mei Shitou's arms.

Mei Shitou was so frightened that his hands were hanging in the air, neither touching nor touching.

"What are you doing?!"

Mei Erhu rushed to Mei Shitou's side, and Mei Qian also caught up and stretched out her hand to pull the girl away from Mei Shitou's arms.

The girl's hair was a little messy and her face could not be seen clearly, but Mei Qian could clearly see her big and bright eyes, and she was looking at Mei Shitou with a little resentment in her eyes.

As a result, Mei Shitou didn't look at her and only turned his head to look at Mei Qian. Mei Qian didn't look at her cousin at this moment and stared directly at the girl with evil intentions with a murderous look on her face. She was so frightened that the other girl immediately turned pale and shrunk. Shrink your head and say nothing.

"Uncle...ah, big brother! Please save our mother and daughter..."

The middle-aged woman suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop, but Mei Erhu was confused.

Although he held the knife in his hand as a deterrent, he didn't expect it to be so effective.

When the father and daughter saw Mei Erhu stop, they immediately started crying loudly and shouted at the same time:
"Brother, okay, okay!

We, mother and daughter, had a boat capsize earlier and managed to save our lives, but as an orphan and a widowed mother, we really couldn’t survive! Brother, please let us, mother and daughter, board a boat and go to the south to join our relatives..."

"If you can't survive, just die."

Mei Qian suddenly spoke and suppressed the words that the middle-aged woman who was crying miserably opened her mouth to speak.

"Or you can sell yourself as a slave. It's really not easy for two weak women in such a chaotic situation."

Mei Qian said the most vicious words in the calmest tone.

Mei Qian could clearly see the calculation flashing in the eyes of these two women, especially the middle-aged woman.

"you you……"

The woman who was trembling with anger at Mei Qian's words pointed at Mei Qian with trembling hands. Mei Qian continued to take a few steps forward and glanced at the two of them.

Among them, no one was more miserable than the woman who was kneeling down. This girl was pinned to the spot by Mei Qian's eyes and did not dare to speak. She only heard Mei Qian say again:

"You mother and daughter are really smart. If you want to take a boat, instead of going to the nearby county town or ferry to spend money to take a serious boat, you can find a wild boat here?

Fortunately, you are still an orphan and a widowed mother, so you are so unprepared~ Madam, are you sure your brain has not been damaged by the water because the boat capsized and fell into the water?
Or do you have ulterior motives? "
