Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

"I wonder what your sister's name is and where she lives?"

"At the foot of Sanli Village, Shen Li."

Jiang Muxue bowed to Shen Li and said, "After mother gets better, Muxue and mother will come to thank you."

"No need, I've already received my payment."

After Shen Li finished speaking, she strode out of Huichun Hall and headed towards the town gate. Her father must be getting anxious waiting for her.

Shen Changshan sat on the mule cart, stretching his neck to look inside. Why didn't Ali come out for so long?

Could it be that something happened?

Could it be that the mother and daughter were lying?

That, this!

When Shen Changshan thought of this, he immediately jumped off the snail cart and wanted to go find Shen Li, but he didn't know where to look for her, and he was extremely anxious.

Finally, as he was eagerly looking forward to it, Shen Li finally appeared at the entrance of the town.

Shen Li walked to Shen Changshan, looked at him sweating profusely, and looked at the sun in the sky. Could it be that the temperature has risen again today?

"Ali, what took you so long?"

Shen Li briefly told him the whole story. Shen Changshan wiped the sweat off his forehead, and the father and daughter went to look after the livestock.

Shen Li and Shen Changshan visited all the places where livestock could be bought. Perhaps due to the lack of water and food, most of the cows and mules were a little thin, but it was not a big problem.

Moreover, the price of food is high here now, but the prices of mules and cattle have decreased.

Since you need to drink water and eat food when you buy it, the price goes down a little.

Shen Li and Shen Changshan fixed their eyes on a mule. This mule looked smooth and shiny, much better than the other mules, which showed that its owner loved it very much.

The mule was being sold by an old man, so Shen Changshan walked over and asked, "Old man, how much is your mule?"

The old man looked up at the father and daughter and said, "18 taels of silver."

Shen Changshan was checking whether there was any problem with the mule. He raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. The price of other mules was around 15 taels. Although this old man's mule was a little better, it should not be more than three taels.

The old man saw the two men's hesitation and reached out to stroke the mule's fur.

A middle-aged man nearby said, "Hey, stop wasting time. This old man has been here for half a month and hasn't sold any mules."

"Come and see my mule, it's very sleek!"

Shen Li looked at the old man. There was heartache for the mule in his eyes, as well as hesitation and reluctance.

Shen Changshan looked at the man's mule. It was not as good as the old man's, but it was not bad either.

He still wanted to buy the old man's mule, which had a large, smooth frame and looked durable.

Looking at the old man, he said, "Uncle, are you selling your mule? If you do, we will buy it."

The old man looked at the father and daughter with cloudy eyes and said, "Sell."

Judging from the expressions on their faces, this father and daughter are open-minded people and would not mistreat the mule badly.

After Shen Changshan took out the silver and gave it to him, he drove the mule away.

"Ali, are you going to buy a carriage now?"

"Uh-huh."

Since livestock is sold outside the town, as soon as you enter the town, you can see two shops selling carriages.

Shen Li picked one at random and went in. She looked around and saw a carriage with a larger space and solid materials.

"Girl, you have a good eye. The materials used in this carriage are very solid and it is definitely durable."

"Shopkeeper, how much is this?"

The fat shopkeeper smiled kindly and said, "Miss, this only costs 6 taels of silver."

Shen Changshan looked at the carriage and found that it was indeed made of solid materials as the boss said, but this was the price.

"Boss, this is the previous price, right?"

The boss still had a smile on his face, not feeling awkward at all, "You're right, if you really want to buy it, we can discuss it."

Business is not going well right now, and we still have so much inventory sitting around, so we’d better sell every one we can.

Everything is getting more expensive now, so he has to sell the carriage and store more food.

Shen Li was quite satisfied with this carriage. The one at home was not good enough. Who knows what they might encounter on the way to escape the famine, so a sturdy carriage would always be a good idea.

Moreover, the top edge of the carriage is quite high, so a few holes can be drilled on it so that luggage can be placed on it.

"Boss, if the price is right, we'll take two."

The fat shopkeeper's smile grew wider, and his little eyes were almost invisible.

"Okay, okay, two carriages and 10 taels of silver, how about that?"

"9 taels."

The fat shopkeeper felt a little painful as he lost two taels of silver all of a sudden, but the girl still tried to bargain.

But it's rare to sell two at once.

With a painful look on his face, he said, "Okay."

Shen Changshan gave the silver, and the fat shopkeeper ordered the waiter to load the two carriages. As for the old carriage, it was directly towed behind the screw cart and pulled back.

The father and daughter did not buy anything else and drove the car back home.

When he returned to Sanli Village, there was another commotion, and some people even made sarcastic remarks behind his back.

"Now that we have money, why don't we buy food? Why buy mules? There are no cows to work with!"

"Yes, after buying two cows, we can go to the fields. This mule is not as strong as the cow."

"Oh, mind your own business, go get some water."

"Let's go."

When we got home, we unloaded the carriage and led the mule to the backyard.

This small courtyard at the foot of the mountain has another advantage, that is, the gate is large enough, and the snail cart can enter the yard directly.

This way, no one will know how much stuff you have loaded in your car.

Shen Yuanzhou carried a bunch of fresh grass and went to the backyard to feed the mule.

There was also a lot of hay drying in the yard, which was prepared for the two mules.

There is no shortage of water at home for the time being. The family takes a bath every two days, but Shen Li takes a bath every day, of course, in the space.

Lin Cuicui and Xu Taohua were busy all day, making clothes and drying herbs.

Shen Li didn't know why the two of them had to keep her so busy.

I told them several times but they wouldn't listen, so I finally just let them do what they wanted.

Shen Li now has several good sets of summer clothes, and Lin Cuicui has also made a set of winter clothes.

Others had some too, but not too many, as they were worried that when they fled the famine there would be too much stuff to carry with them.

Shen Li had just passed through Wuling Mountain two days ago. The deep part of the mountain had not been affected much, and there was still water in the habitat of Xiaotuanzi and her son.

I'll go there again before I leave. Maybe we'll never see each other again after this time.

Although Shen Li liked the little dumpling and was reluctant to part with it, she had never thought of taking it away.

Its life now is free and unrestrained. If it follows me, there will be many restrictions.

Moreover, it is not convenient to carry it on the way. If it is placed in a space, I am worried that it will be too lonely.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye. The weather became hotter and hotter, and cracks appeared on the ground.

The water level in the village's wells was getting lower and lower, and the water flow from the mountain was getting smaller, and everyone was worried all day long.

That day, when Shen Li saw her sister-in-law vomiting in nausea, she remembered what she had forgotten.
