Chapter 38:

Fruit Corn

There was a stream not far away. Seeing the third brother walking towards it, Murong Lingran was afraid that the third brother would come back to his senses and question her, so she suddenly said anxiously: "Third brother, I'll go and make it easier."

“Don’t go too far.”

“Okay, I’ll be behind that tree.”

Seeing that they were not far away, Murong Kuan followed her, but before he could finish handling the rabbit, she came back with a bunch of things in her arms.

He was already not surprised that she found tomatoes again. She always found them every time she went out to wash the dishes under an umbrella, and she found them all the time these days.

Seeing something else, he immediately stood up and raised his voice excitedly: "There is corn here, A’Ran, where did you find it?"

Although corn is not as delicious as rice, it can fill their stomachs. These days, he has been worried about what to eat in the next few days.

“It’s over there, it’s gone, just a little bit, I broke it off.”

Corn is easy to store and cook, and this corn is modern fruit corn. It tastes extremely sweet and has a good texture. She believes they will like it.

Hearing this, Murong Kuan had no choice but to give up. He took care of the corn and rabbits together and returned to the cave.

On the way back, the brother and sister also met other villagers, some of whom were young and strong, carrying small animals in their hands.

Murong Lingran felt relieved when she saw this. Just now, she thought they were the only lucky ones. If they were the only family to eat meat, they would probably get a lot of comments. It would be best if someone was as well off as they were.

Murong Zhe went to discuss matters and came back and saw that his children were gone. He heard that they had gone to look for food. When he was about to look for them, he saw his children coming back with food.

Murong Lingran briefly explained the origin of the corn, and Murong Zhe didn't think much about it. After all, it was a gift from the Gods to his daughter. It must be spiritual. The daughter could hit a rabbit in the neck, striking a killing blow, with one throw. Either she was lucky or the Gods helped.

With this bit of food, they can hold on for two more days.

When he ate the corn cooked by his daughter, Murong Zhe's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but praise: "Why is this corn different from what I ate before? It tastes sweet and tender, and it doesn't choke my throat at all."

Murong Kuan also picked it up and took a bite, nodding in agreement, "Indeed, A’Ran, you are really good at finding things."

Murong Lingran munched on the corn with a calm expression, "This Wuming Mountain is a treasure mountain. It is not only rich in medicinal materials, but also has a variety of food. I am just lucky."

Murong Zhe paused after hearing this and looked at his daughter meaningfully. Seeing that her expression was normal, he didn't ask any more questions.

Not long after they finished lunch, a heavy rain poured down again. This time it lasted for several more days, but it was much lighter than last time.

On the seventh day in the cave, the rain finally stopped and the sky cleared up. After the water in the village almost completely receded, the whole village finally returned to their homes. However, the fields were flooded for too long, and all the rice seedlings that had just been planted were all gone. They all had died.

Many people had begun to sow seeds again. Although it is a little late, it will definitely affect the harvest, but it will not mean that there would be no harvest.

The most serious thing is that the heavy rain came so violently that many people only had time to bring out part of their food rations. By the time they returned home, all their food was flooded.

Within a few days, a lot of rice has molded and could not be eaten. Suddenly, an extremely dull atmosphere enveloped Lihua Village, and everyone looked sad when they went out.
