In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

Visible to the naked eye, there were faint black spots on the chopped off arm.

Everyone couldn't help but pat their chests, but fortunately their arms cut quickly. Naturally, it is impossible for an arm to turn into a corpse after leaving the body, but no one dared to touch it for fear of being poisoned.

The boy looked at his broken left arm and thanked his elder brother in a low voice: "Brother, thank you."

"Girl, can you help my brother stop the bleeding?" He looked at Xu Qi.

"Yeah!" Xu Qi nodded, took out a bottle of hemostatic medicine from his small bag, and sprinkled it on the boy's broken arm.

The boy's elder brother quickly picked up the arm on the ground while his younger brother was applying the medicine and left quickly.

Others dared not touch it, but he did. It was his brother's arm, and he cut it off himself. He had to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise it would be bad if it harmed others again.

The medicinal powder had a good hemostatic effect. After a while, the abscess on the arm stopped bleeding.

"Thank you." The boy said gratefully to Xu Qi.

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort." Xu Qi looked at him and nodded slightly.

After this incident, everyone became more vigilant. The number of patrol teams was increased to ten people per team. They patrolled continuously. No one was equipped with a portable gong. They sounded it as soon as they encountered danger. If you dare to get close, you can wake up everyone.

The vegetable seedlings in the yard have sprouted, and they are crispy and tender, which is very pleasing to look at. However, no one had much food at this time, and Nian was reluctant to pick it so tenderly. She weeded and watered it every day.

There are no wells where the refugees live, so they need to walk to the village to fetch water from the shared well.

The Shen family has a well, but it is impossible for thousands of people to come here to fetch water. Everyone consciously goes to the village well to fetch water.

Even so, the speed of clearing water from the wells could not keep up with the speed that everyone used it. As the weather got hotter and hotter, the county magistrate asked two people to take care of the wells. Each family could only get one bucket of water a day. As for the villagers in the mountain village, There is no limit.

This is someone else's water well, so no one dares to have any objections to this.

Occasionally, a few families would come to the Shen family's yard to fetch water, but most of them were elderly people with no children. Nian was kind-hearted and didn't say much when he saw this situation.

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival.

This is supposed to be a day to worship gods and ancestors, pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits, but now is the year of famine, and no one has the intention to go to this festival. Hungry refugees can be seen everywhere. Some refugees cannot get food and starve to death on the streets. , and finally ended up being eaten by dry corpses.

In Kaoshan Village, during this period, the county magistrate led the refugees into the mountains and found a lot of edible wild vegetables. Most families saved a lot of wild vegetables, dried them and preserved them, so that they could barely fill their stomachs.

But in most places, the wild vegetables have long been cleared away by everyone, leaving only bare red soil on the mountain walls.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Nian got up early and hung mugwort and calamus on the door. There is no custom of making rice dumplings here, so Shen Nan had to buy about fifty rice dumplings in the space and put them in a pot to cook.

"Second sister, what is this?" Sanwa asked, pointing to the green stuff in the pot.

"This is a zongzi with glutinous rice inside."

"Zongzi? Why do they look weird?" Sanwa scratched his head.

"It's delicious. If you don't believe me, try it."

After a while, the fragrance of rice dumplings floated out of the kitchen house, and everyone smelled it.

"Come here quickly, it's time to eat rice dumplings." Shen Nan called everyone over.

Everyone knew that the second girl liked to cook, so they all came over and gathered around the big pot curiously.

Shen Nan took the scissors and cut the rice dumplings from the leaves. No one could get three pieces each.

Everyone reached out to get the rice dumplings, and then looked at Shen Nan curiously. Sanwa tilted his head and bit the rice dumpling leaf with his big teeth. However, the rice dumpling leaf was very strong and he couldn't stop biting it. He had no choice but to give up.

"Pfft~" Seeing Sanwa's embarrassment, everyone laughed out loud.

Shen Nan raised the rice dumpling in front of him and gently squeezed it towards the sharp corners. The rice dumpling leaves fell off the sides easily.

She uncovered the rice dumpling leaves, revealing the yellow glutinous rice inside and a salted egg yolk visible to the naked eye.

"Well, you can eat it now." Shen Nan gestured to everyone. Everyone looked at the golden egg yolk and couldn't wait to open it in their hands.

"Oh my gosh, it's so sweet and delicious. This rice is also delicious." Sanwa took a bite first, and then ate the whole rice dumpling in two or three mouthfuls, as if she was eating honey.

"Second sister, this is so delicious. I also want to eat the one you just peeled off, with the egg yolk in it. Give me a taste."

"Okay, everyone can taste the three flavors." As she said that, she distributed the remaining two flavors of rice dumplings to everyone one by one.

"Wow, that's great. There are two more flavors. I want to try this too." Sanwa was so excited that she couldn't wait to eat the remaining two.

Mr. Nian sat behind the stove, tasting the rice dumplings in his mouth, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"Nannan, do you still have those egg yolk-flavored rice dumplings? I still want to eat them." Shen Yue, with a big belly, was supported by Xu Qi to the door of the kitchen house.

When everyone heard her voice, they consciously moved out of the way and went to the yard.

Wei Ci helped her sit down, peeled off the egg yolk that he had not eaten, and handed it to her.

"Nannan, I like the taste of this. Let's make some more sometime." After Shen Yue finished eating the egg yolk-flavored rice dumplings, she moved on to another one.

"Okay." Shen Nan responded.

Shen Yue took a rice dumpling, put it in her mouth and took a bite.

Shen Nan looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

"This tastes delicious, but I feel like going to the toilet while eating like this." Shen Yue swallowed the rice dumplings in her mouth and murmured softly.

"I'll go with you." Wei Ci said.

"Shameless." Shen Yue glanced at him shyly, secretly thinking that he was not ashamed to say this.

As she said that, she stood up and let Xu Qi help her go to the toilet in the latrine. Logically speaking, her belly was so big that she shouldn't go to the toilet to go to the toilet, but she felt that using the toilet bucket was too smelly, not to mention that she was in better health than the average pregnant woman, so she still insisted on going to the toilet.

As soon as she stood up, she was stunned.

She seemed to have peed her pants!

Seeing everyone looking at her, Xu Qi also came to help her. Shen Yue's face turned red and she wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.

She peed her pants, what should I do?

While she was anxious, Xu Qi suddenly frowned and subconsciously looked behind Shen Yue.

Wei Ci looked at Shen Yue's embarrassed expression and wondered what was wrong with her, so he quickly tried to pull her over.

"Miss, are you about to give birth?" Xu Qi asked.

Shen Yue looked at her in surprise and subconsciously said, "I don't know either!"

"Miss, your amniotic water has broken. You are probably going to give birth." After Xu Qi finished speaking, he quickly helped her back.

"Madam, please heat up the hot water, the eldest lady is about to give birth." Xu Qi said.
