Chapter 161 Return to Forget-Sorrow Valley
Li Lanzhen rushed over and looked down along the direction Xue Bao pointed.
I was also shocked!!
It turns out that from here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley!
At this moment, Li Lanzhen's back felt cold and a layer of hair stood up!
Self-righteousness has found a safe haven.
However, looking from here, nothing in Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley can escape the eyes of those who are standing here and watching!
Fortunately, no one was here!
Xue Bao was also surprised and muttered to himself.
"Fortunately, there is no one here. If there were anyone here, or if soldiers found this place, they would have discovered the Forget-Sorrow Valley. If they found us in the Forget-Sorrow Valley, they would have discovered us. It's so scary!!"
Li Lanzhen saw that although she could see Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley from here, it would probably take more than half a day for people to walk down there.
Lunch time was already past.
The children were afraid of falling when they were going down the mountain. They were highly concentrated and walked with trepidation. Their legs were sore, and they lay on the grass one by one, not wanting to move.
She said to Xue Bao.
"Xue Bao, it should take us most of the day to get back to Forget-Sorrow Valley from here, right?"
Xue Bao stretched his neck and looked down.
"Almost. Because there are children, they walk slowly. And it's not easy to walk down the mountain. If you're not careful, you'll fall."
Li Lanzhen looked at him and Shanxing and said.
"Let's rest here today. Stay overnight and go down the mountain and go home early tomorrow morning."
The two nodded in agreement.
Li Lanzhen turned around and looked at the listless children lying on the grass and shouted.
"Children, get up, collect firewood, dig wild vegetables, and prepare lunch. Grandma will make you fish stew in an iron pot."
Hearing that it was time for dinner, the children turned over one by one and happily found something to do.
Li Lanzhen quickly released the two little guys, Douhua and Datou, from the space.
"Come on, Douhua? Datou, help grandma cook."
With the help of a backpack, Li Lanzhen took out two large iron pots, half a basket of fish, and half a basket of wild duck eggs.
Yan Ming brought some stones to prop up the pot and started adding firewood to the fire.
The fish were all cleaned, even the wild duck eggs were cleaned.
Li Lanzhen placed the backpack under her feet and waited for a while to get seasonings, mixed oil and other things from the space so that she could cheat.
When she was about to wash the pot, Li Lanzhen realized that she didn't know whether there was any water here.
Looking up and around, I saw Shitou, Xinghua and several other children coming over with a bowl of water in their hands.
"Aunt Lanzhen, I found a spring on the cliff next to us."
Xinghua said to her proudly with a smile.
Shitou grinned, "Aunt Lanzhen, the spring water is so sweet! But the flow is too small!"
Li Lanzhen also took a bowl of water, poured it into the pot and washed it.
"That's fine! Wait a minute, put the bucket there to collect the water."
The children looked at each other without saying anything.
Whether it was Shitou and his friends or Shanxing and the others from Lishu Village, they all felt that Li Lanzhen was unusual.
But, what does that matter? They only felt her love and protection for them!
Li Lanzhen saw the children's eyes and clearly understood their feelings and thoughts, and she felt happy.
"Okay, put the water bowl here, go wash the wild vegetables and bring them here."
After the children left, Li Lanzhen quickly brought out a wooden basin full of cornmeal and added yeast powder to it.
She called Lihua, "Lihua, come here, knead the dough, and I'll make you some pancakes later."
"Hey, here it comes. Leave it to me, Auntie. I'll knead the dough."
Li Lanzhen scooped a spoonful of the white mixed oil and put it in a large iron pot to melt.
Then, fry the fish until half of the basket of fish is fried until both sides are golden brown, add seasoning, pour water, and cook.
In another pot, wild duck eggs were placed, with the number calculated, one big egg for each person.
After cooking, take it out and put it in a wooden basin of cold water.
"Come on, all of you, come and peel the duck eggs."
The children didn't know what Li Lanzhen was going to do, they just worked because everything looked delicious.
Li Lanzhen lifted the lid of the pot where fish was cooked, and a fragrant aroma filled the children's noses and lingered.
She heard her stomach growling and the sound of someone swallowing saliva.
He wet his hands, picked up a piece of soft cornmeal that had risen, gathered it together with both hands, and then pressed it. Then, it stuck to the edge of the iron pan.
Pour the peeled wild duck eggs in and cover the pot.
Seeing the children gathered in a circle with shining eyes, she laughed.
"You can eat it in a cup of tea."
Lihua had already boiled the wild vegetables in another pot.
Squeeze out the water and put it in a wooden basin, mostly half full. Li Lanzhen picked up the mixed oil, sesame oil and other seasonings left over from cooking fish and poured it into the wild vegetable basin and mixed it evenly.
Take out three large bowls, fill them with one bowl, and since there are many children, divide them into three portions.
The children held their bowls and stared at the pot of stewing fish.
"It's time to eat!"
Li Lanzhen lifted the lid of the pot where fish was being cooked and shouted.
The children immediately lined up and waited for Li Lanzhen to pack fish for them.
Xue Bao and several other boys brought stones and helped the younger children carry the bowls over and put them away.
In the child's bowl there was a fish, a wild duck egg, half a cornmeal cake, and half a spoonful of fish soup.
Li Lanzhen packed the meals according to the children's appetite.
"Eat slowly and be careful with the fish bones. There's more in the pot. If it's not enough, add more."
Li Lanzhen wanted to pick out the fish bones for Douhua Datou and the other two and feed them.
Douhua shook his head.
"Tofu pudding can eat fish but not fish bones. Grandma eats it at a certain level."
Li Lanzhen is also popular!
The fish is over a hundred feet long, plump, and delicious after being fried and stewed.
The cornmeal pancakes are soft and have some browned texture. The cornmeal pancakes soaked in fish soup are even more fragrant.
At this time, no one was talking, only the sound of eating.
After eating and drinking, Li Lanzhen let the children stroll on the platform to help digest the food.
A peaceful night.
After breakfast, continue down the mountain.
After noon, Li Lanzhen brought the children to the lakeside of Wangyou Valley.
After a short rest, he brought the children to the gate of Forget-Sorrow Valley.
Xue Bao jumped onto the top of the hill and pushed aside the vines that covered the mountain gate.
He jumped down and looked around in confusion.
"Aunt Lanzhen, have you noticed something is wrong in Wangyou Valley? Why are there no patrols? If there are enemies, they will march straight in! I don't know how my father arranged it."
Li Lanzhen listened to him mumbling, in fact, after going down the mountain,
She felt that something had happened in Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley.
