"If something happens to you, what will happen to these children? Who will support them? You have to live well. Come with me. Trust me." Haitang held the old man's hand cordially.
Everyone thought about it and realized that they would starve to death in a few days here. Since the villain brought wild vegetable pancakes, maybe the benefactor really had a solution. So everyone made up their minds and planned to follow the benefactor up the mountain.
Haitang led everyone cautiously towards the mountains, where the land is most fertile.
It's been a long time since I've been to the mountain. Everyone was a little excited, a little scared, in short, a mixture of emotions.
Some people were still looking around, afraid of encountering soldiers again, and they couldn't let go.
"You guys pick some wild vegetables around here, don't go too far, I'll decorate the surrounding area." Haitang settled everyone and arranged some things on the nearby road.
She sprinkled red phosphorus on the roadside, where soldiers would have to pass if they came.
Let them taste the power of chemistry.
After everyone gathered together the wild vegetables they had picked, Haitang asked everyone to pick some wild rice. Although there was not much, both the elderly and children could do the job, and a lot was collected in an hour.
In addition, there were also various fungi, wild fruits, and everything that was edible were picked.
There was also firewood collected by everyone.
Begonia dug a pit, set up a shelf, put the firewood in the pit, and placed a pot, rice, fungi, and wild vegetables on the shelf to cook together.
Lightly rub a match on the edge of the pot, and an open flame will appear immediately. The pine wood that loves to burn will be ignited first, and then other wood will burn together.
Everyone looked at it in amazement, as if a god had descended.
"Benefactor, you are really amazing, amazing. You must have been sent by God to save us." The old man looked toward the sky piously, clasped his hands together, and expressed his gratitude.
Haitang didn't bother her, and she was really grateful!
Half an hour later, the fragrance was already wafting out...
Before everyone started eating, at this time, there were already horse hooves coming from the path.
Everyone looked at each other, there was nothing left to eat. In the face of life and death, eating was obviously secondary. It was the sound of horse hooves that killed many people. We were all in their seventies and eighties, and the children were only three or five years old.
You can't run at all, let alone someone riding a horse.
"You guys eat, I'll take care of it." Haitang said confidently.
"My benefactor, can this be done?" The old man was very worried and did not want to implicate his benefactor.
"Relax." Haitang smiled and walked towards the path.
Just five or six tall horses stopped.
"Ignorant villagers, how dare you pick wild vegetables here? Did you know that these are military supplies!" One of them raised his whip and hit it hard in the air.
That sound was like thunder on a sunny day.
The old men were so frightened that they were trembling and their bodies were almost stiff.
"Mountains and rivers belong to the people, and the wilderness is natural. How can it be used by the military? Stop talking about it. There is no such law in the country." Haitang straightened her back.
"Where did this young woman come from? She should be sent to the army to be a cook!" Only then did the whip man notice Haitang, his attention just now was on the pot.
Haitang kept a distance of about five or six meters from them. She had calculated that this was a safe distance.
The other two men wanted to capture Haitang, and the old men were terrified. How could a woman resist these strong soldiers?
"I'll give you a chance to apologize to the folks, otherwise you will all regret it." Haitang pointed at them and drew a horizontal line in the air.
