Traveling through ancient times

Gu Dalian held Gu Xiaolian's hand and continued to stay in the corner!

The whole family of Mrs. Gu looked down on these two orphaned children from the bottom of their hearts, and they each found a place to sit down!

Although Gu Meihua was a married daughter, Mrs. Gu gave her the power to distribute food, saying that she should eat frugally!

The steamed buns, which were so hard that they could kill people, were given to men as well as half to women.

Each girl could only get half of the half, while Gu Dalian and Gu Xiaolian didn't even get a crumb!

Gu Meihua: "Mother has already said that if little Dalian doesn't find anything to share, you sisters will all be hungry!"

Although Gu Dalian had already eaten her fill in the space, this was clearly too much.

But the original owner had always been a silent person. If he said a few more words now, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and swallow it!

He muttered in his heart: "Your grandma's leg, wait until your aunt finds a suitable opportunity, and take the second brother and Xiaolian away. From now on, we will eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and we will never let you touch a single bit of it!"

Thinking of this, Gu Dalian's anger subsided a little.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, he moved half his body forward, covering most of Gu Xiaolian.

He took a broken porcelain bowl from the package, silently chanted "water" in his heart, and the broken bowl was filled with half a bowl of clear water. He touched Xiaolian and whispered to her:

"Little sister, drink this water quickly, don't let anyone see it!"

Xiaolian's eyes widened in disbelief. Seeing her sister winking at her, she took the bowl and drank two sips without saying anything.

"Sister, drink quickly too! Leave two sips for second brother too!"

Gu Dalian's heart was moved! This was the first time she felt warmth since her grandma passed away!

"Little sister, it's okay, there's more! Drink it quickly, I have some buns here, don't let them find out, the three of us brothers and sisters will have some, so we won't be thirsty or hungry!"

Gu Xiaolian was overjoyed. She took the bun from Gu Dalian's hand, hid behind Gu Dalian, lowered her head and took two bites. Her eyes lit up and tears streamed down her cheeks!

It has been a long time since I had a full meal. Not to mention steamed buns, even the hard steamed corn bread that could kill people was a big deal if I was lucky enough to eat half a bun every day.

After eating the buns and drinking the remaining water, Gu Xiaolian was still not satisfied and quietly handed the bowl to Gu Dalian!

Gu Dalian took the broken bowl and saw Gu Wenzhi sitting behind Old Man Gu, having only eaten half of the steamed bun he was given.

The rest was quietly stuffed into his arms, definitely to be left for the sisters Gu Dalian and Gu Xiaolian.

Gu Dalian called out: "Second Brother"

When Gu Wenzhi heard this, he quickly stood up and walked towards Gu Dalian.

Seeing that others were still waiting for their food, Gu Dalian moved aside and gave her seat to Gu Wenzhi.

She gave Gu Xiaolian a wink, asking her to move out. The two sisters moved Gu Wenzhi into a corner, tacitly hiding his figure!

"Brother, don't say a word, drink two sips first! Then take the buns and finish eating! We two sisters have finished eating!"

Gu Wenzhi looked at the clear water in the broken bowl and the white and tender buns that Gu Dalian handed over with her other hand, and his expression was the same as Gu Xiaolian's.

Gu Dalian winked at him, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she lowered her head and took two sips from the broken bowl, then ate the bun in big mouthfuls and drank the rest of the water.

In just a short while, Gu Dalian estimated that it was less than two minutes. "Is it so fast? Maybe my second brother is also very hungry!"

Just as he was about to say something, suddenly Gu's eldest daughter-in-law Qin shouted:

"Aunt, you can't deprive my children of their food just to feed your two children. With so little to eat, how can my three children have the strength to go on the journey?"

"They are just three little girls. It's good enough to give them something to eat. They still want to be full. Who can have a full meal in this situation? Don't even mention the extra things. Eat if you want or not, that's up to you!"

The person who answered was Gu Meihua. Gu Meihua had the same slanted eyes, high cheekbones, and a mean face as Old Lady Zhou.

His mouth opened and closed, and his eyes pricked up, making him look even more sharp and ugly:

"You gave birth to three money-losing babies, and you still have the nerve to shout here!"

Qin was so angry that she covered her chest and pinched Gu Da who was standing aside and pushed him forward. Gu Da said:

"Little sister, please be reasonable. You have a daughter too. You can't bear to let her go hungry, but you can't take away the food rations of my three children and give them to your children!"

Qin said, "Aunt, please take care of your niece. The child is so hungry that she can't walk. It will delay our trip!"

"Anyone who dares to delay the trip will be thrown into this desolate mountain and wilderness. Don't use this to scare people. I was not brought up to be scared!" Gu Meihua shouted!

Gu Da's eldest daughter, Gu Damei, and the second daughter, Gu Ermei, stood beside Qin and cried. Gu Damei:

"Aunt, we sisters are so hungry, please give us some more food!"

Gu Xiaomei was not far from Old Lady Zhou. She burst into tears and fell into Old Lady Zhou's arms:

"Grandma, Xiaomei is so hungry. I'm afraid that if I starve to death, I won't be able to serve my grandpa anymore! Wuuuuu..."

Gu Dalian, Gu Wenzhi and Gu Xiaolian huddled in a corner, watching the show in silence!

At this time, Mr. Gu spoke up, "Meihua, give the three sisters another half of the steamed bread!"

"Dad, what do you want to share? The food rations are running low, and we don't know when we can get out of this place. We should be thankful that they didn't starve to death. Why are you still thinking of making trouble? If they dislike it, there's nothing left!"

While they were arguing, Gu Ermei let out an "ah!" and the steamed bun in her hand was snatched away by Gu San's son Gu Bufan, who stuffed it into his mouth. He swallowed it in no time and choked and cried out!

Gu San's wife Yao hurriedly rummaged through the backpack and found the water bag. Gu San took the water bag and fed it to Gu Bufan. Gu Bufan grabbed the mouth of the water bag and took two more gulps. There was chaos in the room, and old lady Zhou was so angry that she yelled:

"You damn debt collectors, why don't you choke to death? You bastards are making such a fuss just for a bite of food."

"If we can't find food and drink, you bastards will die of thirst and hunger. Your father and I will hang ourselves on a tree with a rope, so that we don't have to look at you, a bunch of annoying things!"

"Meihua, give those three sisters another half steamed bread. You are their aunt after all. What good will it do you if they starve to death? Hurry up and stop causing trouble for me!"

At the order from Old Lady Zhou, Gu Meihua reluctantly took out a black-faced steamed bun from the coarse cloth bag containing food.

He broke off a small piece and threw it to Gu Da, mumbling:

"You are so brave to come here to collect debts. Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you in the future!" Then she walked towards the hunter man Liu Li!

Gu Dalian looked at the faces of the whole family coldly. Grandpa Gu said one sentence at the beginning, and then he lay on the oilcloth to rest no matter how they acted!

Mr. and Mrs. Gu, with their three daughters, sat aside and broke the steamed corn bread into two small pieces and one big piece!

The big piece was given to Gu Ermei whose food was snatched away, and the small piece was given to Damei and Xiaomei each. The three sisters ate the throat-breaking steamed corn bread in small bites. At last, one of them took a sip from the water bag and then they all leaned against the baskets they were carrying to take a rest!

Gu San and his wife took Gu Bufan and sat aside to rest!

Gu Meihua took the torn bundle from the basket, lay down beside Liu Li, closed her eyes and fell asleep!

Her son Liu Daqiang, leaning against the basket next to Liu Li, seemed to have fallen asleep!

Liu Meili also leaned against a broken basket and squinted her eyes!

Looking at the Gu Siliang couple again, they didn't say a word from beginning to end. They sat not far from Old Man Gu and finished their meal in silence!

Xiao Wang then put her son on the ground covered with hay, and lay down to sleep side by side with her son. Gu Si also put a bundle under his head and lay down on the hay!

For a moment, everything became quiet except for the sound of snoring! Gu Dalian and his two siblings leaned against the wall and lay down and fell asleep! !

I don’t know how long I slept, but suddenly I heard a voice:

"What a bunch of lazy bums, it's already so late and you still need to be called, pack up and get going!"

The hoarse voice is obviously that of Old Lady Zhou.

When Gu Dalian opened his eyes, Gu Wenzhi was no longer there. He didn't know when his second brother had already pushed the wheelbarrow out of the ruined temple.

There was a basket on each side of the wheelbarrow, and on each side of the wheelbarrow, there was a long wooden board. Near the support, there were two cloth bags on each side. It was obvious that they were for Old Man Gu and Old Lady Zhou to sit on!

Gu Dalian helped Gu Xiaolian up, muttering to herself, "These old couple, they're still young but they're already making trouble for my second brother. When we're gone, who will you let push us around?"

There were more than a dozen people in this family, no matter whether they had rested well or not, they all carried, loaded, or hugged things, no one dared to hesitate, and they all walked towards the mountain in one go!

This time, Gu Dalian held Gu Xiaolian and walked at the back. They wanted to make a little move, but they couldn't run to the front anymore. Even if they scolded them, they had to pretend to be weak and follow behind!

Seeing that the people in front of them didn't pay attention to them, Gu Dalian took out a broken bowl from the cloth bag, which contained another bowl of water, and handed it to Gu Xiaolian:

"Drink it quickly!" Gu Xiaolian's eyes were full of surprise. Without saying much, she just picked it up and drank it down with a gulp!

Gu Dalian also took a bowl for herself and drank it all in one gulp, then took out two boiled eggs that were used when steaming the buns, and peeled the skin after steaming them. Now each of them ate one quietly, and Gu Dalian felt extremely happy. The haze in her heart was completely dispelled as she swallowed the eggs!

Gu Dalian didn't care about the fact that Gu Wenzhi and Gu Xiaolian would treat her as a monster.

Saving her life is the most important thing at this moment. If these two siblings really think of her as a monster and are afraid of her, then she will find the time to leave!

Anyway, she is not the original owner, she has her own space, and she can definitely become a rich girl in this ancient time!

We walked and stopped along the way for about an hour and finally reached the foot of the mountain.

Looking up, I saw nothing but bare land. It was finally time to climb the mountain.

Before that, everyone put everything in place again and checked all the pots and pans again.

You need to pad the floor well. You don't have much belongings to begin with. If you fall while climbing the mountain, you might drop your food supplies. You'll have to buy them new when you find a place to stay!

Taking advantage of this time, Gu Dalian secretly gave Gu Wenzhi some water, some buns, and an extra egg!

Among so many people, Gu Wenzhi is the hardest-working one. In this era, he only has these two relatives by his side.

Gu Dalian secretly made up her mind to take good care of them!

Before it got dark, Mr. Gu ordered them to start climbing the mountain.

Because of the drought, the only grass you can see on this mountain road is dead grass.

The trees are neither old nor young, but many of them have no bark and are completely bare, like old men who have been stripped of their clothes and are struggling to survive. The protruding large rocks make one's scalp tingle!

It is probably the Xu time, which is around eight o'clock.

Anyway, Gu Dalian couldn't tell? She only knew that the sun was about to set.

The afterglow shone on the boulder, giving off a strange glow. There was not a breath of wind in the air, and the remaining temperature was scorching, making people feel a little suffocated!

Now even if Mr. Gu and Mrs. Zhou wanted to ride a unicycle, they had no choice but to climb the mountain with everyone!

Everyone is trying hard to climb up, and occasionally you can see traces of people walking on the ground!

We didn’t know how many days we would have to walk in this mountain. At the beginning, we hadn’t thought about the dangers. The more we walked, the more frightened we became. The more we walked, the more unsafe we ​​felt. We kept thinking:

"If I had known earlier, I would not have rested in the temple. I would have followed the people ahead of me. The danger would have been much less!"

In fact, this is just what they think. They don’t think about the fact that they have walked such a long way and they don’t have the strength to walk anymore. Even if they follow others, they can’t catch up with them. They are also afraid of walking with others and having their food coveted!

Gu Dalian didn't care about all that. After eating and drinking enough, the two sisters had the strength to walk. They didn't have to worry about their second brother's health. They just thought of it as exercising!
