"Yes, as long as you take proper care, you can recover slowly. Don't you see that your hands are more flexible now than before? You can even weave baskets, but the premise is that you have to keep up with the nutrition. As long as there is something for us to eat , I won’t let you watch, we are a family, right?”

Jiang Li held the old man's hand and said.

Jiang Baishu nodded heavily, and Mr. Jiang's somewhat cloudy eyes were filled with tears.

"Eat, you can eat too."

It had been a long time since I had eaten eggs. Everyone ate them carefully, and for a while there was no sound in the Earth Temple.

Zhao, Jiang Youli, and Jiang Songshu came back not long after, and the three of them brought back a lot of firewood.

"Is this enough?"

The firewood they brought back was thrown into a pile in the corner. The three of them were panting from exhaustion. Jiang Youli brought back the least.

"That's enough, boiled eggs, one for each person, come and eat first."

Jiang Li glanced at the firewood and said to the three of them.

When they heard that there were eggs, the three of them's eyes lit up. Ms. Zhao swallowed her saliva. She had a tall frame, but she was very thin. Her cheeks were sunken, and the others looked even thinner.

Just like this, she took one look at the egg and wanted to hand it to Jiang Youli.

Jiang Li stretched out her hand to stop her, "One for each person. If you don't want to eat, I will take it back."

Now Jiang Li has the final say in this family. Mrs. Zhao looked at Jiang Youli. Jiang Youli turned away and started eating hungrily. Only then did she take it back and said quickly: "I'll eat, I'll eat!"

Jiang Li didn't pity Zhao, but Jiang Youli was not a strong worker in this team. There were only three of them, Zhao and Jiang Songshu among the six people. If Zhao fell again, they wouldn't be able to go far.

After eating in two or three mouthfuls, Jiang Songshu and Jiang Youli started roasting the chicken without Jiang Li's words. Jiang Li stuffed the chicken's belly with fennel picked randomly on the hillside.

In less than half an hour, the skin of the pheasant began to become crispy and sizzling with oil, and the aroma filled the entire earth temple.

"Let's stay at the Tutu Temple and make some offerings to the Tutu Master later. If there is no incense, just kowtow a few times." Mr. Jiang said.

After the roasting was finished, several people presented the roasted chicken in front of the statue of Lord Tutu. According to Mr. Jiang's instructions, they kowtowed three times and finally started eating eagerly.

A chicken was divided among six people, but it wasn’t much in fact. Two legs and two wings were torn off, and Jiang Li came to divide it. “Today we met the robber girl and the eldest brother put in a lot of effort, so the two chicken legs girls My brother and I are each one, I like to eat chicken wings, so I won’t argue with you, let’s share the rest.”

Just now, Jiang Li refused to let Zhao give up her eggs to Jiang Youli, and now Zhao did not dare to give Jiang Youli chicken legs to eat in front of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn't notice the quarrel between the couple. Jiang Songshu saw that Mrs. Zhao was holding it and refused to eat it, so she started directly, "Mom, you don't want to eat, right? If you don't want to eat, I will!"

Ms. Zhao quickly stuffed it into her mouth, "I'll eat it, I'll eat it."

As he spoke, he avoided Jiang Youli's eyes and stuffed it into his mouth.

"That's it for today. Let's all tidy up and get ready for bed." Jiang Li said, "But as we said during the day, we have to take turns to keep an eye on the situation. In the first half of the night, it will be my brother and my father, and in the second half of the night, it will be my mother and me."

Jiang Youli was not happy, "There is not a single human habitation here, so why are you keeping an eye on me? Isn't this just because I'm full?"

Wouldn't it be nice to finally have a full meal and have a comfortable sleep?

Jiang Youli was sitting next to Mr. Jiang. Before Jiang Li could say anything, the old man gave him a slap in the face, "You can do whatever A Li says. If I had listened to you along the way, would we still be here? How stupid are we?" It’s important, but you have to be obedient.”

After being scolded by me, Jiang Youli mumbled and didn't dare to say anything.

In the middle of the night, the moon rises high and shines on the ground through the crooked door of the Earth Temple.

Only Jiang Songshu managed to keep his eyes open. Although Jiang Youli was sitting facing the door, his head was dozing off little by little.

Suddenly a black shadow flashed through the crack of the door. Jiang Songshu was startled and opened his eyes suddenly. Before his head could wake up, Jiang Li had already stood up holding the dagger in his hand.

Jiang Li shouted, "Who!"

Everyone in the Earth Temple suddenly woke up, "What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"Is someone trying to eat someone?"

The black figure outside the window was also startled. Jiang Li opened the door and only had time to see the back of a black figure flying away.

Jiang Li's original intention was not to catch the other party. When he saw the other party leaving, he stopped chasing him.

The people in the house also heard the noise outside, and they were all frightened.

"It's okay, everyone, please continue to sleep." Jiang Li watched the black shadow go away, then turned around and closed the door.

"It seems there are people around here." Mr. Jiang lost his sleep and said thoughtfully.

"It's still necessary to keep vigil," Jiang Li said, before Jiang Songshu and Jiang Youli went to bed.

Everyone got used to this kind of life along the way. Except for being startled at first, they quickly fell asleep.

At dawn the next day, several people woke up one after another.

"Originally, seeing that there was water here, we were thinking of staying here for a few more days, but now it seems we have to hurry up and set off."

Jiang Lei nodded, agreeing with the old man's words.

"You didn't sleep much last night, go and get some sleep." The old man said to Jiang Li.

When it was almost midnight, Jiang Li woke up.

Jiang Songshu called Jiang Baishu early in the morning to take him to the place where Gracilaria caught the pheasant yesterday. He wanted to try his luck again. Not only catching a pheasant, he could also find a bird's nest and steal a few eggs.

But unfortunately there was nothing. However, Gracilaria followed Gracilaria and knew that Gracilaria was collecting herbs, so he picked the ones he recognized and picked them back.

The herbs picked from the cypress tree were exchanged in the system, and a few meters were exchanged into the rice bag.

In the morning, the family drank enough water and cooked a sweet potato, but they had to save it for the road.

Mrs. Zhao secretly broke off a small piece and gave it to Jiang Youli, but Mr. Jiang slapped the back of her hand.

"Okay, let's get ready to go. If we delay any longer, the sun will get worse."

After repacking, the family packed their bags and continued eastward.

On the road, they met many people who were more haggard than them. They were all skinny and had not eaten for who knows how long.

Several people were shocked at the beginning and now they are used to it. They just want to walk through this journey quickly.

It wasn't until after walking for more than ten miles that the hungry eyes with green light behind him gradually disappeared.

And Jiang Li also felt that she had been staring at him like a shadow ever since they passed by the Earth Temple, but it was no longer there this time.

Jiang Li didn't dare to tell anyone else, so Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

"Thankfully we have these two knives, otherwise I suspect that we would have been bitten by those people just now."

Jiang Songshu said with lingering fear.
