Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 179 Picking Wild Vegetables in the Valley

"Okay, okay, let's go pick some wild vegetables." In fact, ever since coming back from the valley last time, Xu Han has been thinking about the wild vegetables in the valley!

The wild amaranth there is plump and tender, and it doesn’t look old at all even at this time!

The temperature in the valley is lower than here, right? Maybe it’s because there’s more water and it’s cooler!

The two people agreed to go to bed after dinner, so that they could stay alert and pick wild vegetables tomorrow, and try to pick all the wild vegetables in the valley.

The next morning, the two set out for the valley in the morning light.

As soon as she arrived at the place, Xu Han couldn't wait to start picking wild Amaranth. Xu Han only picked the tips on top; the leaves below were already old and not tasty.

Pinching one at a time, the sound of the clicks is very relaxing. I want to pinch them again and again, and I can't stop at all.

After finishing pinching all the flowers here, Xu Han started looking for the next place.

During the whole process, Lu Chuan was hunting nearby, while Heidian and Fantuan followed Xu Han closely, for fear that a snake would suddenly run out and they would be bitten unexpectedly.

But as expected, an accident still happened. After all, there are really a lot of snakes here. The last time I came to Luchuan, I caught four big snakes. Fortunately, they were all non-venomous.

"Woof woof woof woof woof." Suddenly, the black spot started barking loudly in one direction.

When Lu Chuan heard the noise, he quickly ran over.

As soon as I got closer, I saw a big snake as thick as my wrist coming towards me with its tongue spitting out.

Xu Han was so scared that she stood still. The snakes last time had left a serious psychological trauma on Xu Han. Now her scalp went numb when she saw these things. She didn't want to face them at all and just wanted to play dead and not look at them.

Because Black Spot and Rice Ball were beside Xu Han, the big snake didn't dare to get close. The two sides were in a stalemate until Lu Chuan arrived.

Lu Chuan acted quickly and hit the snake's vital point directly. After a while, the snake stopped reacting.

"Okay, it's okay. This is not a poisonous snake. Don't be afraid." Lu Chuan comforted Xu Han.

"Fortunately there is a black spot, otherwise I would definitely be bitten. Even if it is not poisonous, the bite would be very painful." Xu Han said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll let Tangyuan come over and be with you." After Lu Chuan said that, he called Tangyuan over.

Then Lu Chuan knocked around with a stick and felt relieved when he saw that there was nothing there.

Seeing this, Xu Han stopped being pretentious and continued to pick her own wild vegetables.

This continued until the sun set, when the two of them finally headed home with a fulfilling harvest.

Time flies! It's already mid-July.

During this period, Xu Han and Lu Chuan were both busy with their own affairs, doing their tasks in an orderly manner.

Lu Chuan still takes the dogs to the mountains to hunt every day, and in his free time, he takes Xu Han to fish for lobsters and pick wild vegetables.

Xu Han was responsible for watering the vegetables every day and cleaning up all the muddy things.

In my free time, I cooked a lot of potatoes and other things. I was busy every day and never had any time to rest.

That night, after dinner, Lu Chuan suddenly said, "We haven't been down the mountain for a long time. I want to go down the mountain to take a look."

Xu Han was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had not been down the mountain for more than two months, and he didn't know what the situation was like down the mountain.

Ever since Taoist Xuanyi gave the two of them an instruction, Lu Chuan and Xu Han rarely went down the mountain. They lived a completely isolated life, shutting the door every day to lead their own little life.

So he said, "It's time to go check it out. We don't know what the situation is like down in the mountain. The summer harvest has already passed, and we don't know how the harvest is. Is it enough for ordinary people to survive until next year?"

"Yeah! I thought so too, but you don't have to go this time. I can go by myself. I won't buy anything anyway. It's more convenient to move alone, and it's easier to get away if there are any special situations." Lu Chuan said.

Xu Han did not refute what Lu Chuan said. Knowing that this was for her own good, she agreed.

"Then how are you going to get there? Can you row a boat now?" Xu Han asked.

“I went to check a few days ago and found that the water in the river was too shallow to row a boat.

So I can only walk there by myself, but it will take several days to go back and forth, and I definitely won’t be able to come back on the same day. Can you stay at home by yourself?" Lu Chuan asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, I'll just stay at home. Besides, there are so many dogs accompanying me!" Xu Han said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll try to come back as soon as possible."

"Take Heifeng and Maodou with you! I'll feel more at ease having them with you." Xu Han continued.

"I'll just take Heifeng with him! Taking two dogs with me will attract too much attention. In a famine, everyone has to tighten their belts to make ends meet. Taking two dogs with me at once, and both of them are fat and strong, will definitely make people hate me. It's also better to avoid unnecessary trouble." Lu Chuan said.

Xu Han thought about it and it made sense. Although the dogs in her family didn't eat very well, they were well fed at every meal. Their fur was shiny and they didn't look like they were starving.

Life is hard for every family in this day and age. If you see that you are living worse than a dog, it is inevitable that you will have some bad thoughts.

After thinking this through, Xu Han didn't force it, and then stood up and said, "Then I'll prepare some food for you, and some bamboo tubes and stuff."

"Well! I'll go there early tomorrow morning, and try to come back early. Don't run around at home by yourself."

"I understand." Then she started preparing things to bring to Lu Chuan tomorrow.

That night, neither Lu Chuan nor Xu Han slept well...

The next morning, as soon as it was light, Xu Han got up to check for Lu Chuan what he needed to bring.

I took some bamboo tubes, dry food, dried meat, and a set of clothes to change into.

The two said goodbye reluctantly. Lu Chuan and Xu Han had never been apart this whole year and were together every day. It was a bit difficult for them to get used to going out for a few days suddenly.

"Don't run around at home by yourself, okay? Wait for me to come back. Take the dogs with you when you go out to get water, and don't go out if it's a little late. Do you hear me?" Lu Chuan kept nagging.

"I just know that. I will stay at home. But you, on the other hand, don't know the situation down the mountain. Be careful." Xu Han was also worried about Lu Chuan.

"Okay! I understand. I'll go then." After saying that, he carried his bag and went out of the yard with Heifeng.

Seeing Lu Chuan walking away, Xu Han turned and went to the backyard. She couldn't sleep now and it was already bright, so she might as well go to the backyard to pick some vegetables!
