Something soft and sticky.

She quickly pulled her hand out in disgust, only to see that her fingers, which were originally white and clean, were now covered in black and unknown creatures.

She quickly wiped it on the snow and finally wiped off the dirt on her hands.

"Grandpa Tu, can this be eaten?"

Grandpa Tu Tu smiled dryly and said, "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, it's not this tree hole, it's the one next to it."

Su Ruoruan followed Grandpa Tutu's instructions and dug out another tree hole.

But this time she was smarter. She picked up a dead branch in the field, reached into the hole and dug it out, then put her ear against the trunk to listen to the noise inside.

After confirming that she heard the sound of the fruit colliding, she excitedly put her hand in and grabbed a handful of nuts such as hazelnuts and chestnuts.

If she guessed correctly, this should be a squirrel's winter food store.

Su Ruanruan thought that if she took away the squirrel's food, the squirrel would starve to death. She hesitated, but put the fruit back.

"Grandpa Land, I can't take these pine cones, they are the food for the squirrels to spend the winter."

Grandpa Tutu thought to himself, their little princess is really kind-hearted!

"Little princess, don't worry. The squirrels who hoarded these fruits are all dead. It's a waste to keep these fruits here. You can just eat them!"

"Really?" Su Ruanruan's little face was filled with happiness. If Nainai, mother, and brothers find out that she has found so many fruits, they will definitely be very happy!

Su Ruoruan first took out all the fruits from the tree hole, carried them all in her pockets, and then happily went to find her brothers who were hunting snow rabbits.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother! Look what I got!"

Su Ruanruan pocketed a full pocket of fruit.

Lin Cuilan's eyes lit up when she saw her daughter had found such a large bag of pots, "Oh my goodness, are you digging up all the winter food from someone else's house?"

Su Ruanruan explained seriously, "Mother, Ruanruan is looking for fruits without owners. The squirrels who hoarded these fruits are all dead. Therefore, even if Ruanruan takes them away, there will be no squirrels because I took them away."

All their food for the winter was taken away, and they were left hungry!"

Although she was serious, Lin Cuilan only thought she was making up a story and didn't take it seriously.

I just thought the girl was bored and dug holes in trees to play, so I gave her the fruit she found.

She tore off the hem of her clothes, made it into a pocket, and put all the fruits in her daughter's pocket into it.

"My Ruianruan is so awesome!"

Lin Cuilan weighed the baggage in her hand. It was heavy, weighing more than ten kilograms at least!

I really don’t know how my daughter walked over with such a heavy thing in her arms.

She suddenly felt distressed again, her daughter was really too sensible.

Su Ruanruan's face turned red after being praised, "It's not that great."

Although she speaks modest words, if she had a tail, it would have been raised very high!

Not long after, three brothers, Su Qinghe, Su Qingchen, and Su Qingyue, each holding two snow rabbits in their hands, ran over excitedly.

"Mom, Ruanruan, look what we got!"

Su Ruanruan almost stopped when she saw the snow rabbit in their hands.

All I can think about is braised, steamed, spicy rabbit heads...

When Su Qingchen saw Ruanruan staring at the snow rabbits in their hands, he thought she felt sorry for them. These snow rabbits would soon become food in their mouths, so he said, "If Ruanruan is reluctant to part with them, just keep two of them and raise one."

"Reluctant? Ruanruan is not reluctant. Look at these snow rabbits. They are all so fat. If they are roasted and eaten, they will be delicious." Just thinking about it, her stomach started to growl.

.

The thin rice soup she just drank was not even enough to fit between her teeth.

Su Qingchen thought that when a little girl like Ruanruan saw such a cute snow rabbit, she would tell him to let him go.

His Ruanruan is really... really different.

"Then let's go back now!"

The three boys returned home with a full load and wished they could show it off in front of the children in the same village.

Lin Cuilan directly stopped them from doing this.

"Let's not go back now."

Su Qingyue didn't understand, "Why? Mom, we caught six rabbits, enough to burn a big pot!"

He wished he could skin these rabbits right now and burn them with the ingredients!

"You idiot, there are so many people in the village, how can you three of you carry the snow rabbits back and eat them all by yourself without sharing them with others? These six snow rabbits look like a lot, but if they are shared among the villagers

, each person can only eat a small piece at most, if these snow rabbits keep it to themselves, they will gain more strength!"

Although people in the village now have to help each other to survive this cold winter, Lin Cuilan still has selfish motives.

In her heart, her children are the most important people.

Su Qingchen also nodded and said: "Mom is right, let's find a remote place, get rid of all these snow rabbits, eat them and then go back."

Compared to a large group of people eating six snow rabbits, Su Ruoran certainly wanted to enjoy one snow rabbit to herself!

Therefore, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what her mother did.

If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!

Su Qinghe is now like a five or six-year-old child, so of course he has no objection.

The three of them found a place leeward and built a fire.

Lin Cuilan quickly skinned the rabbit and removed its internal organs, skewered it on a branch and grilled it over the fire.

She carefully put away several rabbit skins.

"When I find a chance to dispose of this rabbit skin later, I can make a fur vest for Ruanruan. It will keep her warm."

Lin Cuilan has always felt guilty about her little girl.

But there is too much helplessness and reluctance in this world.

If you don't choose to go out to work, you won't be able to support your family.

But when I went out, I couldn't take care of these children.

"Thank you, mother~" Su Ruanruan nuzzled into her mother's arms obediently.

Lin Cuilan felt soft in her heart. She touched her dry and yellow hair, which was like straw and had no nutrition at all.

When she was working in the Rong Mansion, she saw from a distance that the young ladies in the Rong Mansion all had long, black and beautiful hair. When would her daughter's hair become as black and long?

After a while, the aroma of barbecue gradually spread out.

Each of the five people ate a rabbit, and no one gave in.

For the remaining rabbit, Su Ruanruan suggested packing it up and hiding it in her arms, and then feeding it milk at night.

The other four people had no objections.

After eating and drinking enough, extinguishing the charcoal fire and dispersing the smell from their bodies, the five of them went back together.

Su Ruanruan had snow rabbit meat hidden in her arms, and she walked very carefully, for fear that others would get too close to her and smell the meat on her body.

It wasn't until she saw Mrs. Su that she felt relieved. She ran over and shouted loudly, "Milk! We are back. Look what we found!"

When the people nearby heard her roar, they all turned their attention to the group of them.

Someone with sharp eyes saw Lin Cuilan carrying a bulging bundle in her hand.

"What are they packing? It's a big, bulging bag."

"Could it be meat? I seem to smell meat?" Another person sniffed, as if the smell of meat was really wafting in the air.

But the man next to him laughed and said: "I think you are crazy about meat. Everything you smell smells like meat. Why can I only smell the smell of charcoal fire? It's so smoky."

"I'm not kidding you, it really smells like meat." The man sniffed again.

"Come on, you really think you have a dog's nose!"

Lin Cuilan untied the bundle, revealing various fruits inside, including hazelnuts, chestnuts, pine nuts, and acorns...

They are some common fruits found in mountains and forests.

At noon, no one had enough to eat.

After adding some water, my stomach growled even more.

Now that everyone saw such a large amount of fruits, everyone licked their mouths.

Mrs. Su was also hungry, but she divided half of the fruits, boiled half of them, and kept the other half.

If you finish the whole meal, won't you have to starve if you can't find anything to eat in the future?

People searching for supplies in the ruins also brought good news. Each team found a lot of food.

With this batch of food, at least I don’t have to worry about food recently!
