Chapter 3: Clams

It was not yet dark, and after about four o'clock in the afternoon, the Huang family began to fall down on the kang and sleep.

Nowadays, there is no food to eat, and I feel that it is too much to eat one meal a day, and this meal is eaten at around 4 pm.

After dinner, we sleep and preserve our physical strength. Another reason is that we will not get hungry if we fall asleep.

I don’t know if I was tired or injured that night, and I had no dreams all night. When the sky came up, the original body of this body naturally woke up.

After a night of cultivation, the big bag on Huang Yiyun's forehead was a little painful when he touched it. It was not a big deal. He didn't feel dizzy when he stood up and was able to move freely.

Huang Yiyun groped and put on her clothes, combed her hair with her fingers a few times, and then tied it up with a hemp rope.

After seeing that others were not awake yet.

Walk out the door carefully and look out.

The village is leaning against the mountains on the left and behind, and on the right are deserted fields, with a river on the front.

However, now it is drought and the water has not yet fallen, and the water in the river has dried up, leaving only three or four fingers wide water in the middle, which flows slowly down the river.

As for other parts of the river, the ground with two or three fingers cracks had already cracked, like a spider web, heading in all directions.

I saw that the abandoned village where my family lived had only a dozen houses.

Half of the houses are built with thatch, and the rest are earthen houses.

The houses are dilapidated and desolate, and it seems that these houses have not been lived in for a long time.

My family found a house to live in for the time being, which is the best in this abandoned village.

There is a fenced courtyard in front and a kitchen well behind.

It was just that the main hall door was closed, and a large hole was broken incompletely, and the cold wind blew in from outside.

Huang Yiyun rinsed his mouth slightly and wiped his face.

Grandma, mother, uncle, second sister and third sister woke up one after another.

It's time every day.

The three adults would take a few small people to look for food. Even if they dig the roots and barks, they would dig back to fill their stomachs as long as they could eat and eat.

"Mom, today I want to go into the mountain and walk a little further to see if I can find something to eat." Huang poured a large jar of cold boiled water into the river, then filled a bamboo tube with a bamboo tube of water, and said to Huang Li.

After drinking a stomach of water, the stomach and intestines are peristaltic, they can only be filled for a while. After the water enters the small intestine completely, the stomach will be so hungry that it will be even more uncomfortable.

"Well, I'll go with you. Everyone, please take the eldest sister, second sister and third sister to see if you can find food." Huang Li nodded and said on his back.

After thinking about it, Huang Li handed the remaining two hoes to Huang Li and Huang Yiyun and said, "You two take two hoes and go to the wasteland over there to see if you can dig something else. Secondly, it can be used to defend yourself. As long as someone dares to bully our family, don't worry about anything. Just hoe it with a hoe. Nowadays, life is not worth a lot."

"My grandma, we know that you and uncle must be careful too."

Afterwards, the Huang family divided into two teams and set out separately.

Huang Liu took his three daughters to the wasteland. Suddenly, Huang Yiyun saw behind the riverbed where cracks were opened.

Suddenly, I thought of my previous life that my grandfather liked fishing and often liked to go fishing in a pond.

Once when I went there, the water in the pond completely dried up and the riverbed was exposed.

Grandpa originally said that he was going home, but he saw something under the cracked riverbed.

Grandpa walked in and saw that it was a river clam, and it was not small. He picked up two bags and came back.

Grandpa told himself and grandma about this, saying that he was very lucky that day.

After Huang Yiyun's heart turned around, he said to Huang Li, who was walking in front of him, "Mom, you go to the wasteland first, and your daughter will go to the riverbed to take a look."

"Sister, the river has dried up, and the riverbed has been exposed. There is only a little water left, and there is no fish. What are you doing when you go to the riverbed?" Huang Yiling asked in confusion.

Huang Yiyun didn't know if there were any river clams in the dry riverbed. If he said it later, it would be a joy to make people happy. It would be better to go and take a look first.

"Then you go and take a look. If you haven't found anything, come over to find my mother. Also, if you have something to do, you can take this hoe and you may be able to use it later." Huang Liu knew that the eldest sister was smart and stubborn since she was a child, and she was a tough guy. Once she decided on things, she would not change.

Huang Liu did not persuade the eldest sister, so he asked the eldest sister to take a hoe.

As for where to find food, it is the same, the key is whether it can be found.

Huang Yiyun carried a basket on his back and a hoe in his hand as a crutch, slowly slid down into the riverbed.

The riverbed was so dry that it was so dry that it was like a "bangbang" sound.

In the dry and thin cracks, no river clams were found.

Huang Yiyun had no choice but to walk into the middle of the riverbed.

The soil layer at the bottom became a little soft.

Suddenly, after Huang Yiyun sank slightly, he obviously felt a hard object under his feet. After Huang Yiyun had some guesses, he hoeed the river mud with a hoe and exposed a river mud the size of an adult's palm.

After seeing this, Huang Yiyun showed joy on his face and quickly opened it, not caring about the soil on the river clams. He tapped it with his fingers and smelled it again. There was no smell of smell coming.

Huang Yiyun smiled and said, "This river clam is still alive."

After picking up the first river clam, Huang Yiyun was very energetic.

Walk to a place where the river mud is wet.

Press the clam shell hard, because the river clam shell is relatively hard, you can feel it by stepping on it.

Gradually I found the second river clam and the third river clam...

These river clams are big and small, and some even have broken shells, and the flesh inside is shriveled. It seems that the river clams have been dead for a long time. It seems that they are killed by sunburn or have no moisture absorption and dryness.

When you pick up a river clam, it means you have something to eat, and if you have something to eat, it means you don’t have to go hungry.

Huang Yiyun picked it up for two hours.

The whole morning passed like this.

Although he was very tired, after thinking that the group of radish heads at home did not have to be hungry, a warm current surged in Huang Yiyun's heart.

The backpack was filled with all the time, and a small pile of river clams were piled on the ground.

However, it seems that there are so many, but in fact, the basket that Huang Yiyun carries is not big, and he can only put down twenty or thirty river clams the size of adult slaps.

According to the way the Huang family eats yesterday, I eat one river clam a day and then boil it in a pot of water. So many river clams are probably enough for the Huang family to eat for a month or two.
