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

As long as they can't hear the sound of charging in their ears and don't give them the feeling that the enemy is about to kill them, the Shen family's mood has stabilized a lot and they won't be too resistant to the arrangements made by Yao Shu.

Even though they were a little unwilling, they stayed in the end.

When they stayed near Jiangbei County, Yao Shu didn't need to say anything. They consciously paid more attention to the vigilance. They all stayed where they were and no longer ran out to wander around. They were more sedentary than the other.

After a few days, the food of the Shen family was consumed faster and faster. Everyone could only eat hard pancakes and fried rice. There was no other food, and even the water source was almost exhausted.

If Yao Shu hadn't stored a lot of water in the system backpack, they would have ventured out to find food at this time, and they would have been in danger.

But even so, the Shen family began to complain, and they all looked dishonest.

It is said that it is difficult to transition from luxury to frugality. After a year or two, they had no worries about food, clothing, and meat every meal. Now they started to eat hard dry food again, but they just couldn't swallow it. They were all very hungry for meat. .

Even to the point where he would rather take the risk to go out for a walk, Shen Bei said seriously.

"Mom, it's okay for us to just wait and see. How about I go out and take a look. It would be best if I can contact my eldest brother. Even if I can't, I can bring some food back. I can't let you and dad live a miserable life. Haha day.”

Shen Bei is becoming more and more talkative. He has clearly thought up his own ideas, but he still talks about them in a high-sounding way.

He was still thinking that someone could go with him. Only by mentioning the names of Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan could he deceive people better. His wishful thinking was quite good, but it was a pity that Yao Shu did not accept him. This set of tactics immediately stopped his thoughts.

"No need, it's still a mess outside, just stay with me."

The war in Jiangbei County is still at a stalemate, and the battle in Zhangzhou City is disturbing the general's mind, so that the war has not come to an end, and there is not even a victory that can be celebrated.

The longer it takes, the worse it will be for them.

Under such circumstances, Yao Shu would certainly not let Shen Bei run around. Shen Qiu was enough to worry about, and the rest of the Shen family could not let anything go wrong again.

Shen Bei wilted and chirped in response, but even so, it couldn't stop him from wandering around. He couldn't go far, so he just hung around nearby, euphemistically saying it was for patrolling.

Yao Shu didn't want to expose this, as long as she didn't run around.

Now, she also needs to think carefully about what to do next. Waiting here is too passive. Previously, she thought that the outcome of the battle would be decided soon, but it took until now.

Whether the general's reputation as a victorious general can be retained is still unknown.

She did have a token given by the general in her hand, but she didn't know if it would still be useful in a war, and how she could successfully deliver the token to the general.

Everything is a big problem. If one is not handled well, their whole family will be in danger.

Yao Shu sat in the lee of the house and thought about a way out. The Shen family members were very polite and did not disturb her, but Yao Shu's thoughts were still interrupted.

"Mother, mother..."

Shen Bei's almost broken voice came from a distance. Yao Shu was so frightened that goosebumps appeared on her body. She quickly got up and went to check the situation. Shen Bei was in some kind of danger, otherwise. It’s not like even the tone of the voice has changed.

Not only her, but the rest of the Shen family also stood up in panic and gathered around Yao Shu.

"Third brother, what's going on?"

"You should say something."

Seeing that Shen Bei was panting heavily without saying a single word, Shen Nanshan was so anxious that he could not wait to greet him with a slap.

If he hadn't been waiting for Shen Bei's reply and Yao Shu didn't want him to beat the child, he would have done it long ago.

After rushing back in a hurry all the way, Shen Bei was also very tired, and more importantly, he was scared.

"I saw footprints outside, and then I quietly followed them to take a look and saw a group of soldiers."

He was so frightened that he almost lost his soul when he saw that. His calves were weak at that time, and it took a lot of effort to run back.

"Is it our generals or the Huns?"

Yao Shu immediately asked the most critical question.

"I just glanced at it from a distance and didn't recognize it."

Shen Bei lost his temper at the critical moment. He just glanced at it from a distance and didn't see anything clearly. He just remembered and ran away.

It was just a group of about ten soldiers and horses, without even a flag. It was really hard to tell them apart. He tried hard to remember, and it took him a long time to say something else.

"It looks a little strange."

It was as if he had not said anything. Yao Shu glared at him fiercely. Among those soldiers, except Shen Qiu, Shen Bei looked unfamiliar. This important news must not be mistaken. Is it the enemy? Friends, this is a fatal thing.

Yao Shu didn't dare to gamble and made a decision quickly.

"Let's go further into the desert and hide there first."

Only in this way can everyone's safety be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

The Shen family had no objection at all. They had long been frightened and didn't know what to do. Even if Yao Shu didn't say anything, they wouldn't dare to stay where they were.

Their luggage had been packed a long time ago, and they could leave with a little packing. Just as they were retreating, Yao Shu stopped them again.

"Second brother, hide the footprints behind you."

They had stayed in this place for too long, and the traces left behind were too obvious. If someone discovered them, they would most likely be found by following the footprints. Of course, Yao Shu could not leave such a big safety hazard.

With such an obvious intention, she didn't need to explain much, and the Shen He brothers got busy.

They retreated and covered up, and after walking two or three miles, they started on their way normally.

"Mom, can you stop and have a rest? Xiaocao can't walk anymore."

Mrs. Zhao felt sorry for her child. She carried Shen Xiaocao for a while, but now she had no extra strength, otherwise she would not have spoken at this critical moment.

"Second brother, you hold Xiaocao and walk a little further before we talk."

Yao Shu glanced back. After all, she didn't dare to take any risks. To be honest, she didn't have much strength left.

After walking like this for half an hour, when everyone was too tired to walk, she waved everyone to stop.

Their current location was already in the depths of the desert. Logically speaking, there would not be much danger. Yao Shu's anxious heart could finally relax a little.
