Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Xie An, who had just walked up to the two of them, naturally heard what his father said and also looked towards Zhang Wu.

Until the other party suddenly turned around and looked at them, the three of them seemed to feel guilty and shifted their gaze at the same time.

Xie Hong pointed at a tree to the left of Zhang Wu and said loudly, "So, this year of disaster is different from previous years. This year is particularly serious. Look carefully at that tree."

Shen Xian and Xie An nodded seriously.

After Zhang Wu turned around and continued talking to others, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Xie Hong patted his chest and said, "This kid is very perceptive."

Xie An nodded: "Indeed, they are alert. However, I just asked the villagers and they have a very good impression of the master and servant. I heard that they saved the lives of the whole village from the bandits. The reason why Brother Huang and his men went to the official post station to remind us was also due to the advice of Mr. Song."

Xie Hong raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect there would be such a chivalrous man. Although he has no direct relationship with us, I am grateful for his advice anyway. I must thank him when I have the chance."

"Father, don't worry, your son knows what's going on."

Now that Shen Xian knew the reason behind this, he no longer bothered to consider whether the other person was skilled or not. All he thought about was how to repay him. After a while, he returned to his seat, called his daughter, and whispered to her what had happened.

Shen Qianxue knew that such a thing existed and repeatedly promised to repay the other party.

The father and daughter quietly moved aside while everyone was resting.

Shen Qianxue had a slightly conflicted look on her face, and asked in a low voice: "Father, why don't we send some water to Mr. Song? There is drought everywhere now, and water is precious. I think they are also short of water now, so this is at least a token of our appreciation."

Shen Xian immediately shook his head: "You also know how precious water is now. Although we are not short of water for the time being, this water will be too conspicuous once it is taken out. Your father is no longer the Shangshu, and I can't guarantee anything else."

Now it was Shen Qianxue's turn to be conflicted. What her father said was right. She was indeed not short of water at this stage. After all, there were still hundreds of barrels of water in that space, all of which were secretly prepared before she was exiled. But apart from her father and eldest brother, and Xie Hong and his son, no one else knew about it. Now that she couldn't buy water even with silver, it would be too conspicuous if she rashly took out water.

But how can we express our gratitude?

Shen Xian smiled and patted his daughter's shoulder, whispering, "Don't worry, don't worry, there will always be a chance to repay them. Aren't they going to go north with us? If it doesn't work out, it won't be too late to make plans after we get to the north. With your and Xie's talents, you will definitely make a name for yourself one day. You have to repay your life-saving grace no matter how late it is. We in the Shen family will not be ungrateful."

Shen Qianxue smiled: "Father is right. We still have time to spend together along the way. We can see if there is anything I can help you with then."

The father and daughter no longer worried about how to repay Shen Xian. While no one was paying attention, Shen Qianxue quickly took out the dessert wrapped in oil paper from the space, secretly stuffed it into Shen Xian's arms, and winked at him playfully.

Shen Xian hurriedly stuffed the dessert into his sleeve, walked calmly to Xie Hong and sat down again.

"But my eldest niece stuffed you with delicious food again?"

The former wise man of the dynasty rolled his eyes at him, and then, under the cover of Xie An, he took out a small piece of dessert and handed it to Xie Hong with great pain.

Xie Hong immediately pulled a face and said, "You old man, you are too stingy."

"Eat it or not, this is what my daughter gave me. If you have the guts, ask your son to give it to you."

"you……"

Xie Hong almost burst into a curse.

No one paid attention to Shen and Xie, and the two of them were very low-key. In addition, with Xie Hong's fighting power, there was no one stupid enough to cause trouble.

Every day, Shen Qianxue would take advantage of everyone's rest to fill up the two heads of the family's space with water. As for the others, one third of it would be enough to save their lives, so that some people would not have nothing better to do than to cause trouble.

Song Shiwei had no idea what was happening here and was doubting his life in the carriage.

My mind is full of the reborn Shen Qianxue. Nothing good will come of meeting her.

Originally, when Song Shiwei saw her and the male protagonist Xie An in the book, she wanted to review the information in her mind, but... who the hell could tell her why the information in her mind disappeared inexplicably!

Just divorce Trump!

After being frustrated for a cup of tea, Song Shiwei stopped worrying about it and decided to just let things take their course. After all, all the necessary preparations had been made, and those materials were dispensable. He didn't need to visit any treacherous minister's warehouse anymore.

Zhang Wu stood beside the carriage and talked with the Huang Ping brothers. He did not dare to go too far away. There was no extra shade on this side, and there were still a steady stream of disaster victims coming to rest behind. It was noisy and crowded for a while.

The heat wave rolled in, and many people were sweating even when they were lying on the ground motionless. Many children were crying due to the heat, which made people feel headaches. Therefore, quarrels broke out in the crowd from time to time.

Huang Ping looked at the two families who were arguing, sighed and shook his head: "This damn weather, I don't know when it will end. If it keeps being this hot, many people won't be able to survive."

Zhang Wu pursed his lips and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Since it's already like this, we can only do our best to make ourselves feel more comfortable."

"It's the only way. Since we set out this morning, too many people have died along the way, all from the heat. My father kept crying when he saw those people. Now most families in the village are short of water. My father said that when the sun gets darker, we have to organize everyone to go out and find water sources, otherwise the water in everyone's homes won't last for a few days."

Zhang Wu looked around the carriage and said, "We don't have much water left. We have been using it sparingly along the way. I also looked around when I came here just now. The chances of finding a water source here are slim. We still have to move forward."

Huang Ping originally wanted to go explore the forest, but when he heard Zhang Wu say this, he immediately gave up the idea.

Huang Hai had not spoken since the beginning. Instead, he lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking. He only came back to his senses after he and his elder brother returned home.

Huang Ping glanced at his brother, his face full of concern, "What's wrong with you? Something seemed off just now."

"It's okay. I was just thinking about the water source. The water I got from the mountain won't last for a few days."

Huang Ping put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Let's go forward after the sun goes down. Maybe we'll get lucky and find some water. There's no point in being anxious now."

Huang Hai nodded. It was indeed useless to be anxious, but he felt bad when he saw that his parents were reluctant to drink water even though their lips were chapped and they saved it for their children.

Song Shiwei lay in the car for a while. In just one hour, he had changed two pieces of ice. Zhang Wu was still outside braving the heat wave. After thinking for a while, Song Shiwei lifted the car curtain and walked out.
