Chapter 12 Negotiation

These days, Ning Yue woke up and saw her sister-in-law. The others went out early in the morning. The adults were still running around for a bite. The younger ones were scrambling to pull things to their homes as much as possible, just to survive this winter. Last year it was a flood, this year it was a drought, and there was no harvest in two years. It only rained heavily on the first day before Ning Yue woke up, otherwise everyone would not even drink water.

Ning Yue was also thinking about how to help them. She remembered the menus that she said when reading novels, such as catching pheasants, rabbits, etc., and children who had no ingredients, had never cooked food, had not entered the mountains, would understand these things, and it was impossible. And I heard from my sister-in-law that it was early October, and the weather began to be cold. It was snowing in winter here and people were frozen to death. Thinking of these, the fake children were really worried. The Yao family had vegetables, cakes and pickled soup every day, and Ning Yue's batter was getting thinner and thinner. She was hungry in less than two hours. She couldn't call Yao Jiayu hungry, and just drank in the pool in the "Qiankun Mansion".

Although the first time I jumped in, it was just the soul and not the body, and there was not so much attention. Moreover, the pool always emitted a sweet smell, and I couldn't help but want to drink it. After drinking it twice, I found that my mental strength was improved and I was not hungry, so I drank a few sips. It was strange that when Ning Yue wanted to drink it, she looked at the water in the bowl. It was the same after trying it several times. It was poured out and it would appear as soon as she thought about it. While Yao Jiayu was not paying attention, she put a little in the big water tank. After all, it was also produced by "Qiankun", which would be useful to them. These days of living with water.

At night, several adults were sitting around the main hall. Grandpa was smoking grass cigarettes. Because he had no money to buy tobacco, he smoked a kind of grass like grass cigarette. The grass dried and could be used as tobacco, but the smoke smelled sour. Grandpa said: According to the scriptures, something happened on the way to transport disaster relief grain. Now everyone in the town has a mess. Don’t go to find a job tomorrow. Let’s take a look at what the food at home will do. Everyone was silent. Grandma calculated with her fingers. There were still about 30 kilograms of millet noodles at home, five kilograms of brown rice, a few handfuls of dried vegetables, pickles and a small pot of clay pot, and there were almost no salt. There were 15 copper plates. This is the entire property of the family.

Ning Yue's mother said to her father: "Third brother, why don't you go and sell those two cabinets tomorrow! That one is made of mahogany and can be worth two. After selling it, buy some noodles and come back."

Yao Jiati: "No, our Yao family has not sold the dowry of a daughter-in-law to live."

Grandpa: "From the third family, your words are not feasible. If you don't say you sell your dowry, it means our backbone. Even if you sell it now, no one will want it!"

The eldest uncle: "Dad, mom, why don't I go home and have a look."

Grandpa: "No, in this situation, we will be sorry if we don't help our in-laws. We have to let you go back. It's not easy for our in-laws to be with our whole family."

Second uncle: "Dad, why don't we go to the county town to see if there is any other way out."

Yao Jiati: "Second brother, I can't go now. The town is a bit messy. I don't know what the situation is. I can't go. Dad, I want to go into the mountain."

Grandpa: "Three, what did you say, go into the mountain?"

Yao Jiati: "Yes, when you go into the mountain, you can always find food. When I was in the north, I learned it from a big brother. Once, we were trapped, but he taught us to kill a pig and did not starve to death. I also want to try it. Not to mention the big guy, even if you just get some small things!"

Grandma: "San'er, no, you went to the north for this family and broke your legs. Now you are entering the mountain for the sake of the whole family. You have a wife and children now. I don't agree to entering the mountain."

Yao Jiati: "Mom, I know, let's not mention that. I discussed with Li Niang a few days ago. I can't do it alone. Let's see if my elder brother or second brother goes with me. Is it okay? Let's go in and see if I can't wait to die, right?"

Uncle: "Dad, mom, I'm going with my third brother. I have the strength to bring my third brother back at critical moments."

Uncle II: "Dad, mom, I'll go too. The three brothers go together. Go and go back quickly. Is it okay? I have to try it anyway. Ning family and Ning Ting are half-old, so I can take care of it."

Ning Yue frowned as she looked at the family, and her brothers were in a good way. She said that, the problem was that the ancient forests were not so easy to enter. Tigers, wolves, poisonous snakes, and poisonous insects were all everywhere. Even in modern times, no one could enter the deep mountains at will.

Dinner was set on the table, and everyone was in a heavy mood. After a few bites, Grandpa looked at everyone several times, and a trace of determination flashed in his desolate eyes. Finally, he decided to let the three brothers prepare tomorrow morning and enter the mountain together the morning after tomorrow.
