At the beginning of the Si hour, the sun became bigger and bigger. The sun above our heads emitted a scorching light, making people dizzy and dazzled. Many people in the team could be heard complaining.

There were very few trees on both sides of the official road they were walking on. Even if there were a few trees, the leaves were sparse and yellow, and could not block the sun at all.

There was nothing to block the sun's rays, and it shone brightly on them. Combined with the clothes they were wearing, it was extremely uncomfortable.

Even if there was an occasional gust of wind, it was hot wind, and the heat went straight to my face.

A few doors ahead of Shen Li and the others, a little boy stopped walking and sat on the side of the road, "I'm not going to move, it's too hot!"

Shen Li had an impression of this boy. He was more or less related to the village chief's family. In Sanli Village, anyone with the surname Shen was related to the village chief's family.

Shen Jiabao, just by hearing the name, you can tell the high hopes his family has for him.

This family is considered a quirk in the village. The boy's father and mother gave birth to four daughters in a row before they got this son.

The names of his four daughters were Zhaodi, Pandi, Laidi and Xiangdi, and in the end he got this treasure.

The first two daughters have been exchanged for dowry, and now there are 14-year-old Lai Di and 12-year-old Xiang Di around.

When Shen Jiabao's father Shen Dalong saw that his beloved son was unwilling to leave, he immediately bent down and picked him up.

Wang Xiaolian took advantage of this opportunity to take down the two bundles on the ox cart and make room for her son.

As for the two bags that were taken down, they were thrown on Shen Lai Di and Shen Xiang Di.

"Two stupid girls, you have no sense at all and don't know how to help!"

The two little girls took it silently and put it on their backs. They were already carrying a heavy bag, but Wang Xiaolian seemed not to notice that her two daughters were bending over.

Feeling the unfriendly gazes from behind, Shen Dalong hurriedly pushed the cart to catch up with the team in front.

No one wants to interfere in other people's affairs, they just watch silently.

The team behind quickly caught up with the team in front, and Shen Li walked on the road.

Shen Zhenyuan's eldest son Shen Yanshan in front looked back at the team. Many families did not have ox carts and were pushing carts, and they were now exhausted.

Looking at his father again, the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat, and the boys in the family obviously couldn't stand it either.

"Dad, the sun is getting brighter. Let's find a place to rest for a while before we go on."

"Row."

"Everyone hold on for a while, we'll find a place to rest up ahead."

When the people in the front heard the news, they passed it on to the back, and everyone felt a surge of strength in their bodies.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, they finally saw a forest. Shen Zhenyuan led the team a little further forward before stopping.

He stood up and shouted, "Keep going in two quarters of an hour."

Shen Li and her family also went into the woods, found a relatively spacious spot, drove the mule cart in, and let the mules rest.

The whole family was a little tired, so they just sat down on the ground. Farmers didn't really care about this.

Shen Li took a few sips of water and finally felt the heat in her body subside a little.

What a terrible weather!

Shen Changshan glanced at his daughter and said with some worry, "The team is moving a little slowly. What if the refugees behind us catch up?"

"Those refugees have just looted Jiangyang County. They will probably stay there for two days. They will also pass through some counties along the way, which should delay them for a while."

Shen Li nodded, "Fourth Brother is right. These Fourth Grandpas should know that today is only the first day, and they should speed up in the future."

Shen Changshan looked at Shen Jingyuan and said, "Boss, if you get tired of pushing the cart, you can switch with us."

Shen Jingyuan shook his head, "I'm not tired, it's just that the sun is a bit hot."

The things on the cart weren't really that heavy for him, it would be better if it wasn't so hot.

After walking for a while, Shen Li also saw the situation on both sides of the road. There was not a single wild vegetable, and the edible leaves had almost been picked.

I don’t know when so many people passed by quietly and they didn’t even know about it.

Or have all the leaves on both sides of the official road been picked by the nearby villagers?

Not to mention that the latter possibility is much greater. If there were so many victims going there, the news would be impossible to conceal.

"Dong~dong~"

There was the sound of a gong in front, it meant that they were about to set off. Shen Li put the straw hat she used to fan herself back on her head.

Only when the team in front started to move slowly did Shen Li put on her bag and follow.

The team marched forward under the scorching sun and did not stop until four quarters past noon. When everyone heard the "dong dong" sound of the gong, they hurried to find a suitable place to rest.

They were lucky enough to find a small forest, and each family found a place to make a fire and cook.

As soon as the team stopped, Shen Li went to solve her physiological problems with her mother and others. Many young girls and wives in the team also went with them.

There is no need to care about anything when fleeing from famine. Just find a secluded place and finish the battle quickly.

Shen Li found a stone half a person's height and solved the physiological problem with several female relatives before going out to wash hands and cook.

Shen Jingyuan, Shen Yuanzhou, Lin Feng, and Lin Zhuo walked into the woods with bows and arrows to see if they could hunt something for their meal.

Every household brought their people into the woods, hoping to find something to eat, so as to save some food.

You can rest for an hour at noon. After you finish your meal, you can rest for a while.

Lin Cuicui was already cooking some rice. The famine had just begun, so there was still plenty of food at home and there was no need to be so frugal. Otherwise, the family would not be able to endure a day of walking.

Moreover, everyone in the family has a big appetite. Not to mention the several children, just take Xu Taohua. She is pregnant now. If she doesn’t get enough nutrition, she may be in danger of miscarriage.

Soon, Shen Jingyuan and his three companions came back with two rabbits, and each family got one.

Lin Cuicui: "This rabbit is still alive. Let's keep it for now and eat it in the evening. We can eat the dried rabbit meat at noon."

"Row."

Lin Cuicui took out a small iron pan and started to stir-fry the rabbit meat. When adding water, she put some dried bamboo shoots in and simmered them together.

Shen Jiabao, who was more than ten meters away, smelled the fragrance and started to make a fuss again, looking at Wang Xiaolian in a bossy manner: "Mom, I want to eat meat too!"

Wang Xiaolian looked at Shen Jiabao and coaxed him softly, "Baby, can we have dinner tonight?"

"No, I want to eat at noon. If you don't cook for me, I will tell Dad to beat you!"

The boy's voice was so loud and sharp that seven or eight families who were cooking nearby all looked over.
