Chapter 4
Song Yaomei followed the memory in her mind and strode forward. She was a little impatient because she was so hungry that she almost tripped over a stone on the road.

But when he thought of the water he drank this morning, he unconsciously quickened his pace a few steps.

It was a small ditch, the water was not deep, but very clear, it should have flowed down from Buried Soul Mountain.

She has already seen it, and there should be no fish in it, but her grandfather in the previous life once said that there are creatures in any water source, and she seems to have seen something that she has not seen for a long time.

Song Yaomei was so excited in her heart that she took off her shoes and socks and went into the water barefoot when she arrived at her destination.

She took a sip of water and drank it, the sweet water poured into her heart.

The little hand grabbed it in the water, swung it in the water again, and when it reached out again, a gray shell-like object appeared in front of it.

Many people may only know that clams are delicious in the sea, but they don’t know that there are many similar things in this freshwater lake, and the things in front of them are unique to this mountain.

She put the one in her hand into the back basket, and started to sweep it with both hands.

But at this moment, a white bug next to a small stone attracted her attention.

Isn't this "meat worm"?

If Song Yaomei really sighs, is it because her luck is really great.

This high-protein tonic can be found by her.It is said that this thing was tens of millions of years ago, and she used to like to eat it very much.

At that time, she lived with her grandparents at the foot of the mountain. Grandpa was a barefoot doctor. Every time he went out to collect herbs, he would bring back a lot of delicious food from the mountains. Those days were really happy.

If it wasn't for her grandfather's sudden death, she might be happy like a child forever.

Putting away the pain in her heart, the movements of her hands did not slow down, and she was still trying to find something to eat.

When everything was almost ready to go, suddenly something slippery seemed to be stepped on the sole of the foot.

Is it?
Action first, take out the small shovel that you carry with you.

She used the means of digging, blocking, and grabbing, and soon caught a big fat loach.

Ouch, this is the real reward.

This loach has the reputation of "ginseng in water", and it is more real than other things in the basket.

No way, she also wants to beat some rabbits, pheasants and other tooth-beating sacrifices, but she can neither do light work nor hit stones, she is really a master who can see but not hit.

But if she had arrows, she could still try.

Sometimes grandpa would take her with him when he went up the mountain, and he also learned it for self-protection.

But it is not far.

It should be that no one in this village knows that it is edible, otherwise she would not have caught so many people, and there would not be so many people fleeing famine during the famine.

Looking at the things in the basket, Song Yaomei was ready to go back when it was so full that she couldn't fit it.

Along the way, she had already thought about the dishes she was going to make, and they probably didn't know how to serve these things, so she had to cook them herself.

As soon as she got home, Li Sanlang was still making things, and the two children stood on the door frame and looked at her, still timidly.

Song Yaomei didn't care too much, and put the things in the kitchen.

Mrs. Li was about to cook wild vegetables, and when she saw Song Yaomei came back, her face was full of joy. When she saw the things she brought back, her whole face suddenly changed, as if she was about to cry.

Song Yaomei was thinking, is this old lady about to cry?Who would have thought that the old lady's tears would fall.

"Yaomei, you're going into the water again, right? It just happened this morning, why don't you know how to cherish yourself?"

Song Yaomei was moved in her heart, "It's okay mother, the water is not deep."

"It's all mother's fault, I didn't let you eat enough." She cried louder as she spoke.

Li Sanlang in the yard heard Li Shi crying, and immediately ran over, "You crazy woman, what did you say about your mother?"

Song Yaomei originally thought this man was a boring gourd. When she had an accident, he didn't say a word, and she didn't do anything to his mother, so she just yelled at her.

"Son, Yaomei didn't say anything about me, look at what she brought home"

Seeing the things in the basket, Li Sanlang frowned unconsciously.Really a fool?

He wiped away Li Shi's tears, and then asked blankly, "Are all these things edible?"

Song Yaomei didn't have a good impression of the people who wronged her. Holding the basket, she walked around two people and prepared to pack up the food. She was too lazy to talk nonsense with this group of ignorant ancient people.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was unhappy, Mrs. Li thought that it must be something she had eaten, otherwise she would not have taken it home, so she let go of her son's hand and followed her to fight.

"My sister, is there anything I can do?"

Song Yaomei didn't want to talk to her at first, but when she saw her, she thought of her grandma, so she replied, "Mother, cook the porridge, I'll do the rest.

Mrs. Li got an errand and went happily.

Li Sanlang stood there blankly, and went back to work after a while.

Song Yaomei neatly packed all the things in small baskets made of bamboo, and then started to process the ingredients.

The other two are very simple, as long as a simple cleaning is enough, this loach is going to be killed, but this kind of thing is not difficult for her.

She had already made up her mind, and ate everything else. The loach was dried, and some of it would be eaten tomorrow morning.

The two little bean sprouts wanted to come and watch her kill things, but they were afraid, so they ran close and then far away, repeating this several times.

Song Yaomei looked at her and wanted to laugh, did she think she was a tigress?
"You want to see it?"

The two children nodded.

"Then come here!"

The dolls ran to grandma's side, and Yaomei looked at them and smiled.

"Why don't you go?"

Li Dan said: "Scared!"

Mrs. Li didn't speak, but turned her face away and secretly wiped away tears.

Soon, a meal will be ready.There are thick stewed loach soup, steamed scallops, and wild vegetables with meat and worms added to the main course, and finally there are some baked loach that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

The food was on the table, but no one dared to eat it.

Song Yaomei had no choice but to take the lead in eating, chatting while eating.

Seeing how delicious her food was, Li Sanlang tried to take a bite, and it was really delicious. He glanced at Yaomei, "It's really something to eat."

Song Yaomei took away the food in front of Li Sanlang, "If you don't like it, don't eat it!"

"you!"

Seeing the two quarreling, Mrs. Li cried again, "Son, it's no use being mothers, so stop arguing."

Okay, for the sake of the children and the elderly, don't bother with him, and everyone will show their cards at night.

Several people ate very satisfying meals.But he didn't want any unexpected visitors.

In order to save lights, they began to eat before dawn, and the sun had not yet set after eating.

"Silly girl, what are you eating? Why is it so delicious?"

Song Yaomei raised her eyes and saw a chubby little chubby.

"Little fat pig, why are you here?" This uninvited guest was her uncle's son, named Dabao.

Thinking of this name, Song Yaomei was very worried, why did the old lady Song treat the big house like a treasure?

Whatever, there is a treasure word in the name.Besides, she and her younger sister were all skinny, and he was still so fat, it must be because of how many good things he ate.

"Is this delicious?"

Song Yaomei was thinking about hiding something, but her chubby little hand had already grabbed one and stuffed it into her mouth, saying, "It's delicious, it's delicious."

That fat hand still wanted to take it again, how could Yaomei give him a chance to do it, and hid the thing behind her back with one hand.

Song Dabao was not stupid either, he withdrew his outstretched hand and pretended to be a little adult, "Take out some more, and I'll take them home to my grandparents."

Song Dabao thought that if he said so, Song Yaomei would definitely take out the things obediently, but unfortunately her Yaomei had already changed the core.

"This is not a good thing. Grandma probably doesn't like it. I will go back in a few days."

Seeing that Song Yaomei refused to compromise, Song Dabao pretended to go back.
