Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 179: 2 Loaches and 2 Big Black Fish

Wang Qiuju cursed loudly:

"Shut your crow mouth, or you will be eaten by wild beasts. If you can enter, why can't we?

We have more people than you do, I want to see who can find the water source first."

Zhao Qiaoniang was too lazy to pay attention to them and walked straight into the deep mountains and old forests. The tall and twisted trees swayed their dry branches strangely in the cold wind, making a creepy "creaking" sound.

Even Zhao Qiaoniang felt uneasy, and Wang Qiuju was trembling with fear.

"Qiuju, let's not follow them in, okay? What if we get lost and can't get out?"

"I also think it gets scarier the further we go in. Let's just forget it, shall we?"

Wang Qiuju whispered, "What are you thinking? The mountain is so small, what are you afraid of? We just need to follow them closely."

Zhao Qiaoniang continued to move forward. Mulan beside her said angrily, "These people are so annoying. What do they want to do by following us?"

"What can we do? They think we can find food and water, so they plan to rely on us!" Zhao Qiaoniang also sighed. It was really annoying.

Naitang squeaked a few times and looked at the woman opposite him with disgust in his little eyes.

It kept moving forward with Zhao Qiaoniang, and no one dared to speak. Soon, it left Wang Qiuju far behind.

Wang Qiuju kept cursing behind them: "They are a bunch of psychos. They actually ran around in the mountains like this. They are not afraid of encountering wild animals. It would be best if they encountered wild animals and had them eat them all."

"That's right! I'm so tired..."

"I...I can't crawl anymore."

This mountain road is so difficult to walk on. It is narrow and dangerous. The weeds and thorns on both sides grow like crazy and are tangled together. When I walk on it, my clothes are pulled askew.

Zhao Qiaoniang and her men quickly hid in a small cave, which was filled with stones of various shapes and sizes.

They hid inside. The entrance to the cave was covered with yellow vines, and you couldn't see them if you didn't pay attention.

They stayed inside for half an hour, and Wang Qiuju and the others cursed outside for half an hour, saying all kinds of nasty things.

Mulan wanted to get up and kill them, but she didn't expect them to just leave.

Mulan said angrily, "These women are so mean-spirited. I really want to rush over and rip their mouths apart."

Zhao Qiaoniang clapped her hands and said:

"We can't just kill all of them, right?

They are just following us, so killing them would be too much. Moreover, the frequent deaths of people will definitely arouse their suspicion.

Okay, wait until they leave, then we can continue going inside..."

Another cup of tea passed before Naitang asked them to go on inside.

It seemed that Toffee had made many new friends, and several strong black mice were following behind it.

All the mice looked at Zhao Qiaoniang with cautious eyes. Only when Naitang squeaked did the mice look away and follow Naitang forward.

After walking a few steps, they heard the sound of horse hooves, and Cheese appeared with several horses.

Toffee and Cheese exchanged glances for a long moment. Zhao Qiaoniang was also surprised: "You're hiding in this mountain? You don't want to follow us to Bianjing?"

"Whew, wow!" Cheese looked at her, his eyes full of excitement.

Just then, she saw Milk Candy leading them inside, and Zhao Qiaoniang didn't know what Cheese was thinking.

But the cheese seemed to listen to Toffee. They kept walking in the woods. There were some places that were impossible to pass through, and it was the cheese that led them there.

As the road extended, the surroundings became increasingly quiet. The human voices had long since disappeared, with only the sound of horse hooves echoing through the valley and the slightly heavy breathing of the crowd.

"Where is Naitang taking us? This place is too remote." Mulan was a little nervous. If it weren't for these horses, they wouldn't be able to climb up to some places.

Zhao Qiaoniang shook her head and said, "Who can tell for sure? Don't worry, don't worry, the milk candies are counted."

Finding water is really difficult now and takes a lot of time.

After walking for half an hour, the road suddenly became open, and a stream appeared before our eyes. Now it was only a thin stream, struggling among the gravel, almost dry.

"Water, there is really water..." the second daughter-in-law of the Tian family shouted.

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at it and said, "There's not much water left. Let's get as much as we can."

Zhao Qiaoniang went in first with a large wooden bucket and directly filled six buckets. Only then did the others start to fetch water.

But after a while, only a little water was left, and Mulan suddenly saw something twisting underneath.

She jumped directly into the puddle and took out everything inside: "Wow! What are these?"

Cui Ya said: "Loaches, so many loaches!"

The puddle was pitch black, but when I looked closely, I saw that it was full of lively loaches.

Mulan and Cuiya's eyes suddenly lit up and they were overjoyed. Mulan squatted down first and quickly plunged her hands into the mud and water. She dug hard, and the mud and water splashed everywhere. The loaches at the bottom of the pit were instantly disturbed and twisted their bodies wildly.

Cui Ya was not to be outdone. She imitated Mulan and started digging on the side. Her movements were a little clumsy, but full of eagerness.

Zhao Qiaoniang found a wooden barrel. The barrel was useless and leaked a bit, but it was just right for storing loaches.

A total of more than twenty loaches and two big black fish were found, and several people looked at each other and smiled.

These are all good things, and they are not available outside now. Zhao Qiaoniang finally has time to look at the scenery around her.

There were a lot of wild vegetables around, and the six horses were eating them like crazy. Zhao Qiaoniang hurriedly said, "Hey! Wait a minute, this is shepherd's purse, you can eat it."

A group of women rushed over. Lin Shitou's wife almost drooled: "It really is shepherd's purse. How come it's so tender?"

Mulan smiled and said, "It must be because there's no sunlight here, so there are these wild vegetables."

The group of women were quite capable, picking wild vegetables while chatting about family matters.

Zhao Qiaoniang looked around and saw a few dead trees not far away, covered with mushrooms.

Zhao Qiaoniang carefully picked all the mushrooms. In fact, she was not sure whether these mushrooms were edible or not, so she planned to go back and ask Mrs. Bai.

Mrs. Bai is knowledgeable and can tell whether some mushrooms are edible just by looking at them.

Zhao Qiaoniang put the mushrooms into her backpack and began to look for medicinal herbs. In fact, she had no idea what medicinal herbs looked like.

Anyway, as long as it was green, she picked all she could.

After working for more than an hour, everyone finally straightened up, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Everyone's basket was filled to the brim. Zhao Qiaoniang said with a smile, "Let's go home!"
