After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

"Whether they go or not, we, the Yang family, choose to go with you."

When everyone was undecided, the old lady of the Yang family, who was sitting on the tricycle, spoke first.

"Since there's a shortage of water everywhere now, why not try walking upstream? Maybe we'll be lucky enough to find a source of water?"

The Yang family members listened to the old lady the most. The head of the family did not even take a rest, but pushed the cart and walked forward first.

"Mom, let's go too."

Yuxiu didn't say anything else. She just had to take people there to find a water source. Anyway, the system didn't say that everyone had to go there, right?

As for those who are still hesitating, just leave if you want to. What does it have to do with me?

"Wait for us, we'll go too..."

“We didn’t say we wouldn’t go…”

"And I……"

Seeing that the Yang family and Yuxiu's mother and daughter walked away without looking back, the others became anxious and chased after them, shouting. In the end, only the woman whose husband had died and the other family were left there.

The other family was the one who had spoken for the woman before. They were originally neighbors and chose to travel together to escape the famine this time.

The man was also unlucky last night. He had climbed up the tree, but at the critical moment he was frightened and his legs and hands went weak. He fell off the tree unexpectedly. The wolf next to him was also frightened by him, and after reacting, it pounced on him without hesitation and bit off his neck.

Now that there is only a woman left in the family, she has to follow the neighbors closely to avoid being bullied.

"Sister-in-law, aren't we going with them?"

"No, I won't go. We have the meat of three wolves now, and there is still some water and food left in the backpack. Let's go along the road quickly and sell the meat when we get to the town. We can also buy some water from someone in the city."

The woman from the neighboring house glanced at the departing crowd with disdain, turned around and walked to the other side of the river.

"Your sister-in-law is right. If there is water in the mountains, it would have been occupied by someone long ago. You won't be able to get it even if you go there."

The man also advised her, and then he took his three half-grown children and chased after the woman. The woman whose man had died gritted her teeth and hurried after them.

Compared to Yuxiu and the others who caused her to become a widow, she was of course willing to follow her acquaintances on the journey. No matter what, they couldn't just watch her die of thirst and hunger, right?

Yuxiu didn't have time to care about them. She led a group of people and marched forward along the mountain road. Boss Yang followed her advice and found a dozen strong men from the crowd. They all held machetes, hoes and other tools to clear the way in front.

There is strength in numbers. In a short while, they had carved out a path through the branches, rocks, and the hillside where there was no place to walk.

We walked for about an hour and could see some greenery everywhere we looked. The trees here still looked green. It seemed that even if there was no water here, we were not far from a water source.

This discovery inspired everyone, and they burst out with unprecedented strength. Even though they were carrying such heavy wolf meat and luggage, they still walked at a rapid pace.

"Mom, this is for you."

Yuxiu helped Cui walk to the edge of the crowd, and when no one was paying attention, she stuffed a plum candy into her mouth.

As the sour and sweet plum candy melted in her mouth, Cui's eyes lit up.

The nausea and vomiting feeling from before quickly disappeared, and I suddenly felt hungry.

"Gululu..."

Her stomach made a familiar sound and Yuxiu was stunned for a moment.

Why do I say familiar? Because at this moment everyone’s stomachs have been growling as if in competition.

"Mom is fine..."

Cui felt a little embarrassed, mainly because Yuxiu had given her a lot of food in the past two days, and she hadn't eaten yet this morning. In the past, skipping three or five meals was nothing new to her.

"Mom, don't talk. Eat quickly."

Yuxiu didn't think too much about it. She just took out a piece of candy from the space and fed it into Cui's mouth.

There was a lot of food in the space, but it was not a good idea to take it out at this time, so she had to find some small things like beef cubes, and occasionally take one out and give it to Cui.

As they ate and walked, they soon arrived at a valley.

"Or we can take a break and eat something. I really can't walk anymore."

"I can't walk anymore, let's roast the wolf meat."

"I want to eat meat, too. I can't wait to take a few bites of the meat..."

Seeing that everyone was shouting that they were tired and wanted to rest, Boss Yang thought for a moment and suggested that everyone put their things down first, find some firewood to make a fire and barbecue, and then move on after they were full.

Instead of collecting firewood, Yuxiu took Cui to a big tree nearby and found a stone for her to sit on.

"Drink some water, Mom."

Yuxiu took out the worn-out water bag, which was already half filled with water, and took out a wooden bowl from the backpack. Using her body as a cover, she actually took out another bowl of water from the space.

Most of the things in the backpack are for cover, so it is best not to use them if possible.

They both drank the water quickly, and Yuxiu continued to feed Cui food, sometimes cherries, sometimes small tomatoes, or some biscuits and bread that she broke into small pieces and threw one into her mouth from time to time.

By the time the others started to take out the wolf meat to roast, Yuxiu and Cui were almost full.

"belch……"

While eating, Cui burped and quickly waved her hand to indicate that she didn't want any more.

"My dear, I can't eat anymore. Stop feeding me."

Yuxiu had almost finished eating. She glanced around and saw that Boss Yang had arranged several young men to walk around on guard. The mother and daughter simply leaned against a big tree and closed their eyes to rest comfortably.

"Girl, big sister, wake up quickly..."

Not long after, Yang's eldest sister-in-law Miao and Yang's second sister-in-law Zhang came over to call them.

"I cooked some meat porridge for my mother-in-law and the children. My eldest sister was feeling a little unwell, so we brought her a bowl."

Miao smiled and handed a bowl of porridge to Cui. Cui was a little at a loss. A bowl of porridge at this time was very important. It was no exaggeration to say that she would even exchange a bowl of porridge for a person.

"You can't do that. Leave it for Auntie and the kids..."

Cui was still trying to refuse, so Miao handed the bowl of porridge to her.

"Hurry up and take it. We are in a hurry to go back and eat meat."

Cui had no choice but to take it. Looking at the rice porridge that smelled of meat, she was deeply moved.

"This wolf leg is roasted to the perfect temperature, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's pretty good. Come and try it, girl."

Zhang also handed the roasted meat on a branch to Yuxiu, and it was indeed a roasted wolf leg.
