Then go quickly and come back quickly.

"Yanzi, you and Niu Li go to the mountain first. We can deal with the things in the house when we come back."

Yan Zi and Niu Li each carried a bag, and both hands were full of things.

The third brother took everything from their hands and placed it on the kang.

Yan Zi felt that there was nothing wrong with her and that she could do it completely. But when she saw that the third brother wouldn't let her do it, she felt unwilling and pouted.

The third brother gently pressed his wife's arms and consoled her earnestly, "You are heavy and cannot carry heavy things. Let Niu Li support you and don't let him carry it."

"Travel lightly. Things are not as important as life. Go quickly and mark the way. I will find you on the mountain when the time comes."

Yan Zi pursed her lips and pulled at the corner of Lao San's clothes.

"I'm worried that our donkey will get tired, so the more we can take, the better."

The donkey outside twitched its ears, probably because it heard what the people in the house said. It tilted its neck, hummed twice to indicate that it was fine, and then started chewing again.

Yan Zi was not a pretentious person and thought that she would be fine after a little coaxing. She felt that what the third brother said made some sense. Her stomach was indeed much heavier and it was difficult for her to walk normally. Climbing the mountain made her even more tired.

I was amused by the donkey's braying again. How could it be so human?

I don't want to carry so many things, as long as people can get up there.

I felt much better and thought for a while.

"Let's go to the place with the mountain spring water."

When Niu Li heard this, he remembered that he had not given water to the donkey yet, so he took a large basin, filled it with water, and placed it in front of the donkey.

The bottom was reached in the blink of an eye.

The third brother nodded and walked to the door. When the donkey saw him, he quickly swallowed the hay in his mouth and then filled his mouth with another full one. After all, only when he was full could he have the strength to work.

"Nier, come up, we're leaving now."

With a push of his hand and a lift of his legs, he jumped lightly and got into the car. The third child originally wanted to carry his daughter in his arms, as she had indeed grown up a lot.

Feeling that the donkey was firmly seated, we followed the road to the town. This road was so familiar to us that the donkey could run along it with its eyes closed.

There is a tense and dangerous atmosphere in the air today.

On the way back, I saw passers-by walking in a hurry. Many of them had frowned brows and pale faces, which was completely different from their usual lively and relaxed appearance.

After returning to the town, I went to almost all the shops before I bought a tent. Fortunately, with this thing, I now have a simple house.

However, the prices of everything have increased at the moment, and many shops have closed their stores. Even those that are open do not have many items, and everyone tries to place the goods as high as possible, wrapped in water-repellent tarpaulin, making it difficult to pick up the goods.

I don't want to waste my time just to make a few bucks from Ni'er and the others.

When they saw Ni'er and the others coming to buy things, they didn't look like wealthy people, they didn't spend lavishly, and they bought relatively small things. They basically just waved their hands, saying that the store was closing and they were going to look elsewhere.

Ni'er had to persuade the shopkeeper to take out the things.

There is really nothing we can do now.

Living in the mountains, I must buy some thick clothes, and they must be ready-made. I don’t have time to have them tailored now.

After going into several ready-made clothing shops, I finally managed to gather enough thick clothes for my family of four.

I saw that the money in my hand was getting less and less, but I felt at ease when I saw the donkey cart was full of things.

Fortunately, I still have a few coins to exchange for these.

After buying the things, I rushed home and put all the things my mother had packed into the car.

The donkey cart may not look big, but it can actually carry quite a lot. It can probably carry all the household items in two or three trips.

But I didn't buy much stuff anyway.

The road up the mountain is really difficult to walk on, especially when driving a donkey cart. Usually, the path is trampled out by people, so it is very difficult for a donkey cart to pass.

The third brother took a knife and cleared the road bit by bit to make way for the donkey cart to pass.

Ni'er never straightened her back while picking up big stones from under the donkey cart, trying not to damage the wheels.

The donkey also pulled with all his strength.

Working together, they finally reached a place where there was a spring.

Yan Zi and Niu Li were already waiting there.

However, it is not easy to find a flat place on the mountain. There are weeds, insects and even snakes everywhere.

As the weather gets warmer, they start to move more frequently. Normally, they annoy people who go into the mountains, but now they are annoying the people who seek refuge there.

Yan Zi and Niu Li have never been idle here. They have been driving away the insects. They dare not fan too hard, and a slap will leave a hand full of insect corpses.

But fortunately, there is a spring here, so you can drink water when you are thirsty. When you are traveling on a hot day, being able to drink some water is the happiest thing.

Niu Li heard someone talking nearby, so he lowered his breath and listened carefully, and found that it seemed to be his father and sister.

"Mom, my sister and the others should be here soon. I'll go check them out. You stay here and don't wander around. If you encounter any danger, just shout loudly. I won't go too far."

Yan Zi looked at Niu Li with a smile. He looked like a little adult, and his words and actions were much more appropriate than those of his peers.

"Okay, let's go."

Niu Li was still worried, so he took a few steps, turned around and shouted at his mother.

"Don't wander around."

Yan Zi responded loudly: "I know."

He muttered in a voice that he could hear.

"More talkative than me."

Following the direction of the sound, I saw my father and sister not far away.

"Dad, sister, I'm here to help."

Nier watched her brother come alone, looked behind him, and didn't see her mother, "Where's mom?"

Niu Li knew that his father and sister were worried about his mother, so he didn't keep them in suspense.

"Mom is at the spring. I didn't let her come over because she's pregnant and it's inconvenient. We finally got to the top of the mountain, so I didn't want her to go back and forth. Besides, she can't do anything if she comes."

"I told her to just shout loudly if she encounters any problem. There shouldn't be any problem."

Nier thought this was a good idea as it wouldn't tire her mother out.

The third brother was still a little worried, so he shouted in the direction where Niu Li came from.

"Swallow~"

"Hey~ I'm here."

I was afraid that the other party would worry, thinking that something had happened, and it would be inappropriate to come over again, so I explained quickly.

"It's okay, I just want to call you."

Yan Zi didn't answer, but she felt happy in her heart. It felt good to be remembered by others. The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and she was a little shy. She covered her mouth and laughed out loud accidentally.

"Ah."

He cleared his throat, covered his burning cheek, and glanced around. Fortunately, there was no one there, otherwise if someone saw him in such an embarrassing state, he would have wanted to crawl into the ground.

Ni'er and Niu Li continued to pick up stones, the third brother led the way, and the donkey pulled the cart hard to prevent it from sliding down.

The further we went in, the harder it became to walk. The weeds in front of us, which were more than a meter tall, were cut down, and the view in front of us suddenly became clear.

Ni'er and Niu Li picked up stones even more enthusiastically and soon reached their destination.
