The whole village is starving, but I have a full warehouse of meat in the mall

Chapter 24 Damn it, the Lotus Village is a bunch of bastards who don’t leave anyone a way to survive!
Ye Dahe scratched the back of his head: "Mom, Qi Ai can't burn. There is a lot of smoke when it burns. I'll go cut some other hay."

"Who said I was going to use it to burn firewood?" Jiang Wan said with a smile, "I just like it to produce a lot of smoke. If it doesn't produce much smoke, I don't want it. Hurry up and cut it and put it in the yard. I will need it very much."

Ye Dahe was harvesting quickly with a knife. There was not much left after cutting a large area of ​​Qi Ai, and they were piled in the yard.

Jiang Wan took out a backpack and put the Ai into it, pressing it down and filling it up just enough.

Ye Erhai stood up and asked curiously, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Come with me up the mountain after lunch." Jiang Wan put the backpack at the door. "You'll know when you get there."

For lunch, we had white rice, stir-fried bamboo shoots, and wild mushrooms. It was simple and refreshing, and all six of us were very full.

After dinner, the mother and her five children went up the mountain.

Yesterday all the villagers spent time in the mountains, and today only a few people went up the mountain.

Walking deep into the forest, he didn't see anyone. When he reached the dry pond, Ye Sishan keenly heard someone talking: "Mom, there seems to be someone digging bamboo shoots!"

Jiang Wan narrowed his eyes.

The people from Lotus Village were busy all day and all night yesterday, so it is impossible for them to go up the mountain again at this time, so they must be people from Sophora japonica Village.

What are the people from Huaihua Village doing here?
She gestured to the children to stay where they were, and she pushed aside the bushes and walked over quietly.

Dozens of strong men stood in the lotus pond that had been dug, their faces grim.

"Fuck them, the people in Lotus Village are a bunch of bastards who won't leave anyone a chance to survive!"

"This hill is between Lotus Village and Sophora japonica Village. This thing should be half of each village."

"The head of Lotus Village is too shrewd. He won't give us half of it. If the open approach doesn't work, then we'll do it covertly."

"Anyway, there are a lot of thieves stealing food recently. We can disguise ourselves as thieves and steal all the food from Lotus Village!"

"..."

Jiang Wan's eyes suddenly turned cold. She stepped back lightly and said coldly, "Let's go back today."

The people in Huaihua Village are going to cause trouble, so it’s not a good idea to look for water now.

The mother and her two children hurried down the mountain with serious faces. When they reached halfway up the mountain, Ye Sishan exclaimed, "Mom, look, there's a bird's nest over there."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Sanshu dropped what he was holding, spat into each hand, and climbed up the tree. After a while, he had emptied the bird's nest, finding a total of seven eggs.

Ye Sishan licked his lips and said, "We have bird eggs to eat today."

Jiang Wan took the bird eggs and put them into the backpack. In fact, there were a lot of eggs in the mall and one penny could buy two, but he just didn't have a reasonable excuse to take them out.

Maybe, you can pretend to find a wild hen and then rely on the eggs laid by the wild hen?
She silently looked at both sides of the road. It was very deep and suitable for operation. It might be difficult to catch one chicken, so it would be better to release two.

Jiang Wan did what he said. He spent ninety cents to buy two chickens in the mall and placed them directly in the grass.

"Cack!"

The sound of chickens crowing was heard in the forest.

Ye Erhai's eyes turned green: "It's a chicken, there is a chicken nearby!"

The other three guys immediately held their breath and concentrated, four pairs of dark eyes searching the jungle.

Ye Sishan pointed into the jungle and made a gesture, and the five kids rushed over in unison.

The roosters crowed louder.

"Two chickens!" Ye Sishan's face flushed with excitement. "We caught two chickens!"

Ye Dahe scratched the back of his head and said, "Why do these two pheasants look like they are raised at home? Why are they in the deep mountains and forests?"

Ye Erhai slurped his saliva and said, "We can eat chicken tonight."

Ye Sanshu was eager to try: "These two chickens are so fat, I'll break their necks to prevent them from escaping halfway."

Jiang Wan: "..."

She released the two chickens not for these guys to eat the chickens, but for the eggs!
She said, "These two pheasants seem to be hens. A hen can lay one egg a day, and two chickens can lay two eggs a day. Raise these two chickens, and you will have eggs to eat every day in the future." The eyes of the five children began to light up.

Having eggs to eat every day was something I could never have imagined before.

Ye Sishan swallowed his saliva: "Mom, can these two chickens really lay eggs?"

Jiang Wan wondered whether he should buy an egg and throw it under the chicken's butt, pretending that the two chickens laid the egg themselves.

At this moment, the two chickens suddenly sat on the ground.

The four boys also squatted down and stared at the two chickens intently.

Ye Sishan asked in confusion: "What are they doing?"

Ye Dahe hissed, "It seems like she's laying eggs."

Ye Sanshu's eyes widened: "It's born, it's born, it's really born!"

Ye Erhai was also full of disbelief: "Two were born!"

Jiang Wan was filled with shame.

What a fuss.

If people who didn’t know heard it, they would think that a baby was born.

The two chickens wanted to run away after laying eggs, but Ye Sanshu brought them back, tied straw ropes around their feet and stuffed them into a backpack.

The mother and her five children returned to Lotus Village in a good mood.

Jiang Wan asked her four sons to take the backpacks back, and she and Ye Xiaofang walked towards the village head's house.

When she reached the center of the village, she saw the head of the village standing on a dry and cracked ridge of a field, looking at the situation in the fields. Many people were surrounding him, asking him questions.

"Li Zheng, what did the county magistrate say?"

"There is no food in the fields. Will the county magistrate send relief grain from the imperial court to our Lotus Village?"

"I heard that the price of corn in town has risen to ten cents per pound. Is this true?"

"..."

The head of the village had a headache.

He didn't know how to answer these questions. If he told a lie, it was not his style. If he told the truth, he was afraid of causing panic among the villagers.

At this time, Jiang Wan came over and said solemnly, "Village Chief, I just went up the mountain and saw more than 30 people from Huaihua Village wandering around the hilltop of our Hehua Village."

The village chief frowned: "Why are so many people here?"

"The leader is a fat man. From what he said, he wants to gather a group of people to steal food from our Lotus Village."

Jiang Wan did not hide anything and told everything he heard. This was not just the matter of the headman alone, but the matter of everyone in the entire Lotus Village!

When the surrounding villagers heard her words, they were all shocked.

"The people of Huaihua Village are too shameless!"

"There was a fight between the two villages more than 20 years ago, and our Lotus Village won. Do they still dare to come?"

"Didn't Sister Ye say that the people from Huaihua Village wanted to steal food? We can't defeat them openly, so we'll just do it secretly!"

"Then let's go teach them a lesson!"

"..."

"Everyone be quiet!"

The head of the village raised his hand and pressed down, and the angry villagers finally shut up.

"Lotus Village and Sophora japonica Village live next to each other. After a dispute over a boundary issue more than 20 years ago, the two villages have coexisted peacefully for more than 20 years. If Lotus Village takes action first and reports the incident to the county magistrate, everyone in our village will suffer."
