They were exhausted all night and their stomachs were growling with hunger.

Ah Li took out an oil paper bag from the small bag, and when he opened it, there were seven or eight pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake lying inside.

Without any hesitation, she stuffed a piece into each person's hand.

Lin Darong weakly waved his hand and wanted to leave the food to Ah Li.

"Brother, hurry up and eat. Your patient needs nutritional supplements now."

Lin Errong nodded and gave the cake in his hand to Lin Darong.

"Li Li is right. Brother, please hurry up and eat. Maybe we will be on our way again soon. The other party is here for Li Li. Only when you get better can you protect her with me."

Lin Darong felt that he could not hold back, so he picked up the cake and started eating it.

When Lin Errong asked to go find food.

Ah Li also wants to go with him.

Lin Errong knew that Ah Li would never disappoint when catching fish, so he handled the fish by the river with a happy face, made some thick thatch poles, and tied the fish into a string.

A carp gnawed on the big grilled chicken legs with satisfaction.

He went to chop bamboo tubes, and A Li went to catch fish.

Ah Li shook his head, "If you're not tired, second brother, just let me go with you! I'm lucky, maybe I can find a lot of good things."

A Li also jumped up happily when she saw the sweet potatoes, so that she could eat enough.

This season happens to be the season when sweet potatoes are ripe, and the leaves on the vines are almost falling off.

Not long after leaving, Ah Li found a salt-skinned tree in the ravine on the other side of the river.

"I guess those people who tried so hard to trick Lili into coming here will definitely not give up so easily. We can't stay here any longer now. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Lin Dalang saw them coming back and hurriedly greeted them.

The four of them sat next to the fire, eating and chatting.

He asked her to wait for him where he was.

She held the big grilled fish with crispy skin in her two little hands, and took a bite with a "ouch" sound.

The sweet potatoes in the wild are not as big as those grown at home. They are only as big as the fist of a four- or five-year-old child.

This way he is already very satisfied.

"Li Li, just rest and sleep in the cave. Aren't you still tired after climbing the mountain all night?"

After harvesting a lot, they fetched water and headed back.

Only then did he feel at ease and look for food.

Lin Errong made the fire a little more intense, passed the prepared fish through the fish body with a stick, and applied the salt scraped from the fruit of the salt skin tree.

Ah Li and Lin Errong came out of the cave and looked around cautiously, and found that no one was around.

Seeing that time had not passed long, Lin Errong wanted to look around to see if there was anything edible.

The brother and sister walked about a hundred meters along the outside of the cave, climbed over a small slope and found a small stream, and there was a clump of bamboo forest on the slope next to it.

Then put it next to the fire and roast it.

A Carp ran to the fire.

The tender fish meat has a light salty aroma without any fishy smell.

"Eat slowly and be careful with the thorns."

"Second uncle, Lili, you guys are too awesome!"

She knew it because the galls produced on the tree were a relatively precious traditional Chinese medicinal material.

"Carp is awake, come and have something to eat. The grilled fish and sweet potatoes are cooked, and there are plenty left for you."

He was so surprised that he went up and gouged it out with a dagger.

The smell made her stomach growl.

When Ah Li woke up, the whole cave was filled with a scent.

In the afternoon, Ah Li and Lin Dalang caught two pheasants and picked some wild fruits near the cave. Their food in the evening was even richer.

Needless to say, it must have been Lin Dalang who did all this.

Ah Li didn't waste time and started wandering around the river.

Also, you can't go back, that would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

Ah Li also caught a dozen fish here, almost each weighing one or two kilograms.

Plant salt can be obtained by boiling and drying the fruits of the salt bark tree, which they need very much now.

Lin Errong then analyzed the direction they would take tomorrow.

Lin Errong gently rubbed the messy hair on the top of her head.

“It’s so delicious. It’s so delicious.”

After eating and drinking, Lin Darong sat guarding the door while Lin Errong and Lin Dalang went to rest.

She was also very hungry and ate three sweet potatoes in one go, and then she ate a dozen sweet potatoes.

When they arrived in the cave, Lin Darong had already fallen asleep.

Although they are separated by a state capital, the mountains and rivers here are all connected together. As long as they find the right direction, they can return to Yecheng.

They are not familiar with the geography of Qingzhou and don't know when they can get out of the mountains.

The cave has been kept very clean, and the open space on the other side of the ground is even covered with thick dry pine needles.

She was so surprised that she broke off all the fruits on the salt bark tree.

The two brothers and sisters divided the labor and cooperated, and soon Lin Errong chopped four or five bamboo tubes, some large and some small.

Just when he was about to doze off, he heard startling birds on the opposite hillside before he woke up.

Lin Errong didn't give up in the end and had no choice but to let her follow.

Ah Li handed the thing in his hand to Lin Dalang, patted his chest and said proudly: "That's right, you won't be hungry if you follow us."

Lin Darong nodded, "Second brother, you and Ah Li are smart. Dalang and I will listen to you."

He cut out about thirty pieces, put them on the hem of his long gown, and went to find Ah Li.

When Lin Errong returned to the medicine hall, he took a dagger and put it in his cloth boots. It came in handy now.

Lin Errong also had a harvest there. He discovered a sweet potato field at the foot of a low hillside.

Lin Darong was beaten with internal injuries by the two men. After resting, eating, and the healing medicine given by A Li, his body recovered a lot.

She was a little sleepy, so she yawned and lay down on the ground covered with pine needles and fell asleep.

The sweet potatoes were also thrown into the burned charcoal fire.

A half-autumn moon hung in the night sky, leaves were rustling in the woods, and owls made frightening sounds.

Although it is not as tasty as the fish stew made by her mother, it is already delicious under such circumstances.

"Well, second brother, don't worry, I will definitely help you. I can find you lots of delicious food."

The two looked at each other happily.

They were going to find a river. Wherever there was water, there were fish. They happened to be thirsty and wanted to find a way to carry some water back.

Lin Errong was keeping vigil at night, and the hot fire made him a little drowsy.

The big ones are used to store water, and the small ones are used as cups and bowls.

"Okay, second brother will try to take you home as soon as possible. Lili is very smart and will help second brother, right?"

Lin Errong handed her a big grilled fish.

"Big brother and second brother, I miss my parents so much. Let's go home early!"

Alert, he immediately woke up.

He walked to the entrance of the cave and opened up the covering branches.

Under the moonlight, he saw several dark shadows on the hillside jumping back and forth among the trees. The big knives they held in their hands shone coldly in the moonlight.

Suddenly, his heart almost jumped out of his chest, and dense cold sweat broke out on his head.
Chapter completed!
