C6 Wild Vegetation

The next morning, the first thing Hsing Nuannuan did when she woke up was to look out the window. It was a pity that there were no wolves. The roasted wolf meat that she had been looking forward to would not appear.

"Sigh! Dreams are full of hope, but reality is always cruel!" Hsing Nuannuan sighed. She glanced at the food in her backpack, took out a bun, and bought a bowl of egg soup. She started drinking it.

This morning, she had agreed with her friends to go and pluck wild vegetables, but Hsing Nuannuan was dumbfounded after breakfast. There was no basket or shovel at home. How could this be? There were sold in the system, but if she took them out, how should she explain her new basket and shovel?

Seeing that it was still early, Hsing Nuannuan clenched her teeth. She spent 10 coins on a basket from the sixth page of the system and threw it into the yard to start grinding on the ground.

After a round of grinding, the basket looked a little old. Hsing Nuannuan let out a long sigh, then spent 20 coins on a small shovel. She couldn't help but grit her teeth. This small shovel was too exquisite. It probably didn't have such a good craftsmanship.

Hsing Nuannuan helplessly started grinding the small shovel on the stone beside her. She then grinded the patterns and words on the shovel and mixed it with mud.

Hsing Nuannuan was happy to hear this. She had no idea how her father had found this courtyard, but it seemed that the water was coming out from the side of the kitchen. Although it was a stone sink, it looked very clean. At the very least, it was much more convenient to use water. It was even more convenient than the people in the village who needed to fetch water from the stream.

After being ravaged by Hsing Nuannuan, the basket and the shovel seemed much heavier and older. They didn't look as eye-catching anymore.

Hsing Nuannuan looked at the basket and then at herself. Why didn't she notice that the basket was as tall as her? Fortunately, the basket was carried on her shoulders. At most, she would have to carry less weight.

After being tormented for such a long time, Hsing Nuannuan wanted to go to the bathroom. At this moment, she began to search for the bathroom. The bathroom was right next to the door. It was close to the cliff, so half of the body was exposed. Fortunately, it was there.

At this moment, Xiaohua's voice came from afar. "Nuannuan! Nuannuan!"

Hsing Nuannuan quickly opened the door. When she opened the door, Xiaohua ran over. "Nuannuan, here's some corn flour. You can make some porridge. Hurry up. When you eat, they'll be here."

Hsing Nuannuan gratefully looked at Xiao Shitou. "Thank you, Xiao Shitou!"

Xiao Shitou chuckled. "There's no need to be so polite with me. Go on, then!" Xiao Shitou looked very happy, but she didn't say anything else. For example, Hsing Nuannuan had no way of asking him about the jokes he had heard.

"I've already eaten the cornbread. I'm not hungry. Wait for me to cook some porridge with wild vegetables in the afternoon!" Hsing Nuannuan took the little corn into the kitchen and placed it next to the pot.

"That's fine too. Otherwise, you might not know what to eat this morning." Xiao Shitou was worried. In fact, their family didn't have much food. She had stolen a little corn from them. If Grandma found out, she would probably scold her.

After a while, Xiaoju, Goudan, and Xiao Shitou ran over with baskets on their backs. The four of them were slightly taller than Hsing Nuannuan, so they didn't look too small when they carried the baskets. Hsing Nuannuan was very envious of them.

Xiaoju brought a sweet potato for Hsing Nuannuan, and Goudan brought two corn sticks for her. However, the corn had already hardened, so it was impossible to cook it.

Xiao Shitou directly brought half a vegetable pancake, which was corn flour.

"Thank you. Actually, you don't have to bring it to me. I will dig up the wild vegetables right now." Hsing Nuannuan felt warm in her heart. These little friends were too good. They had secretly taken these things from her. If their family found out, they would definitely be scolded.

"Xiaoju, Xiaoju, Xiao Shitou, Goudan, you guys don't have to give me food anymore. Your parents will scold you." Hsing Nuannuan thought for a while and then said to them seriously.

"Nuannuan, what are you talking about? We can't just watch you starve to death, can we?" Xiao Huai's eyes widened. How could she bear to watch Hsing Nuannuan starve to death? If Grandma scolded her, so be it. After all, she wouldn't lose any meat. As long as she could survive, it would be better than anything else.

"That's right, Nuannuan. Hide the things away. Don't let us go. Someone took them away."

"That's right, that's right. Hurry up and hide them."

"Go!"

The little friends urged Hsing Nuannuan to hide the things. She could only put them in the kitchen and stuff all of them into the jar under the stone slab.

When she came out, her friends were drinking water from the sink beside her house. It was as if they were feeding horses. The village was too poor. Even if they wanted to bring water, they didn't have any suitable bottles.

The bottle... Hsing Nuannuan's eyes lit up. Others didn't have bottles, but she did. A bottle of water was worth one system currency. She could buy a bottle of water and get a bottle of water.

"Let's go. We're ready to go!"

"Nuannuan, stop daydreaming. Hurry up!"

Soon, the five of them closed the door and went up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables.

They were the ones who had dug this area, and since it was close to Hsing Nuannuan's house, it was convenient for them to get some water.

Hsing Nuannuan still had some memories of this place. She knew the common types of wild vegetables, and the place they were going to was not far from her house. She put the basket aside and started to pull the wild vegetables.

It took them almost an hour to pull out half a basket of wild vegetables.

"The wild vegetables this time are not bad." Xiao Shitou was still very happy.

"Yeah, how long has it been since we last came here?" Xiaoju said with a smile. Ever since Nuannuan's parents had gotten into trouble, they had never come back. Grandma had said that wild vegetables would grow in the wind, so it was normal for them to grow so much.

"I have to plant some pigweed," Xiaoju said and went to plant the pigweed. The others found a small tree and sat under it to rest.

The sun had already risen, and they were already sweating.

"I'm a little thirsty." Nuannuan felt a little thirsty. It was such a hot day. It seemed that they should come out early and rest when the sun came out.

Goudan sighed and said, "My uncle is a soldier. I heard that he brought back a military water bottle."

If there was a kettle, they wouldn’t be thirsty.

“Isn’t that an old kettle?”

“Our village is the first to use an old kettle.”
