Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

Yao Shu knew that the village chief also had good intentions, so she didn't say anything. It was a good thing to have such a responsible village chief, otherwise the fleeing team would have turned into a mess.

Even though she was very straightforward when drinking the medicine, when the bitter taste came to her, her expression instantly became distorted.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Her reaction scared Shen Ru so much that there was something wrong with the medicine.

"I'm fine, it's just that the medicine is too bitter."

Yao Shu said in a weak voice.

It had been a long time since she had drank such a bitter concoction. It almost cost her half of her life. She would not drink this concoction if she had the choice.

"Is there any sugar?"

The bitter taste lingered in her mouth for a long time, which was simply torture for her.

"There is no sugar at home, old lady, rinse your mouth with water."

Shen Nanshan said somewhat sarcastically.

Their family had been escaping for a long time, so where could they find something as precious as candy? Shen Nanshan felt quite guilty when he thought that the old woman couldn't even afford chewing gum.

Yao Shu didn't react at all to this. To be precise, she was already numb. No matter how bad the Shen family's situation was, she wouldn't be surprised.

After rinsing her mouth with water, she finally recovered and warned several people at home.

"You all drink a bowl of medicine. It's been raining all day today. Don't get cold."

No matter how good your health is, you may not be able to bear such hardships. What's more, the Shen family has never had enough to eat during their escape. How can this body be better?

"Mom, there's no need. There's nothing wrong with me. The village chief just said that you can't take medicine randomly."

Shen Fugui said reluctantly.

Who would be willing to drink a bitter concoction if he is so good, not to mention that the medicine will taste terrible as soon as he smells it, and he doesn't want to suffer in vain.

Yao Shu glanced at him. Shen Fugui's face looked fine indeed, and she didn't look like she had caught a cold. She still had medicine in her backpack, so she let him go.

"If you are not feeling well, just give me medicine. If you are too sick to walk, just stay here alone."

Her eyes swept over the Shen family, and what she said was not entirely a lie.

The team in Dahezhuang will not stop because of one or two people. If someone is really sick, he will either be left behind, or his family will be able to take him to follow the team.

No matter what the situation is, it must be very troublesome.

She said these words in the tone of the original owner. Everyone was so frightened that every one of them drank the medicine honestly. Even Shen Fugui did not dare to say another word.

After drinking the medicine, the Shen family members all looked ugly, and all of them fell silent.

Others in Dahezhuang regarded the Shen family's fuss as a joke. They simply did not believe that Yao Shu could really find the right medicine to treat typhoid fever. They determined that Yao Shu was messing around again.

It is impossible to say that the Shen family will suffer from food problems.

No matter what others thought, the Shen family fell asleep deeply after taking the medicine. When she woke up the next day, Yao Shu felt refreshed and all her previous dizziness had disappeared.

I have to say that the medicine given by the system is very reliable.

After she woke up, she went to see Shen Xiaocao and Yan Xiaohua. Seeing that their conditions had improved, Yao Shu finally felt relieved.

Seeing her waking up, the eldest son Zhao immediately brought water for Yao Shu to wash up, and Shen Ru also brought food.

Among the group of people, Yao Shu woke up the latest. She was not used to getting up at dawn.

"Mom, are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

"Mom, there are freshly picked wild fruits here, you can try them..."

Yao Shu looked at Zhao and Shen Ru who were lingering in front of her, and felt that they were particularly affectionate today. Even if she was an elder, she would not usually hang around her like this.

After a little thought, she figured out the reason. The two of them were grateful to her.

If it weren't for the medicine she brought back, Shen Xiaocao and Yan Xiaohua would have been in danger, and it was hard to say whether they could survive it.

"Okay, please stop hanging around me. We are all a family. I'm not too old to move, so I don't need you to serve me."

Yao Shu is still not used to being too close to the Shen family, and the change in status will not be something she can adapt to in a short time.

"Old man, why don't we set off today?"

According to the rhythm of their previous escapes, they usually set off not long after dawn, hoping to get to the town early to see if they could find a place for them to stay.

She glanced at the sky. It was already late, but she still didn't hear any movement.

"I'm not leaving today."

"why?"

Speaking of this, Shen Nanshan couldn't help but sigh.

"Many people in the village are sick, even the village chief has fallen ill."

Yesterday's heavy rain made most of the people in Dahezhuang sick. Those in good health could still hold on, but the elderly and children were too sick to get up.

There are patients in every household, so naturally there is no way to continue on the journey.

Hearing the news, Yao Shu was also sighing. She sighed again. Fortunately, she insisted on checking in to the new location yesterday, otherwise their family would not be much better.

The atmosphere in the cave was very depressing. She could hear the choking and crying sounds of different people. Everyone's life was really miserable.

Yao Shu's eyes fell on the system backpack. She still had nine packs of medicine left, which would only be enough for the people in the village.

If these medicines are given out, what should the Shen family do if they get sick in the future?

The rewards for unlocking new locations are random. What if there are no medicines after that?

The chance of getting sick while escaping from famine is really high. The weather is getting colder and colder, and wind chill is more likely to occur.

Yao Shu was struggling fiercely in her heart and couldn't make a decision for a while. She had never been a selfless person, and she had to live alone when she was poor. She might not even be able to protect herself now.

Just when she couldn't make up her mind, she heard the conversation between Shen Ru and her daughter.

"Mom, Sister Xiaotao is too shy to sleep in, and there is no one to play with me."

"Good girl, Xiaotao is sick. She can play with you when she recovers."

"Then when will she get better?"

Shen Ru paused for a moment before speaking.

"very soon……"

Shen Ru's words could deceive the child, but they could not deceive Yao Shu. If there was no medicine to cure the disease, it would be difficult for the child named Xiaotao to survive this test.

At this time, she finally made up her mind.

Yao Shu packed the medical bag in the system backpack and handed it to Shen Nanshan.

"Send this bag to the village chief."

"Why are you so politely sending something to the village chief?"

Shen Nanshan was very puzzled and was still mumbling.

"We don't even have enough at home."
