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

Shen Li noticed the movement behind, but seeing that everyone else was fine, she thought it was Wang Xiaolian's family who did not listen to her instructions. After seeing them catch up, she no longer paid attention.

This family is really a trouble maker!

They said women, the elderly and the young should walk in the middle, but she wouldn't listen and insisted on taking her son to the side.

She was afraid that the refugees wouldn't see her. Now, her food has been robbed. If it weren't for the quick reaction of a few strong men nearby, the families behind her might have suffered.

孽 孽!

Shen Li licked her dry lips, took a sip of water, and then picked up a fan to fan herself.

It was so hot that all my clothes were soaked and stuck to my body, which was very uncomfortable. Plus, the sun was so strong that I was constantly getting wet and dry.

Absolutely!

It would be nice to have a portable fan. Even though it produces hot air, at least there is wind!

The weather is so dry now that even wind is a luxury.

When there was wind at the beginning, I complained that the wind was all hot, but now there is no wind at all.

The official road is relatively flat. It is estimated that after walking on the official road for another two days, there will be a small section of mountain road. By then, even if they are out of Qinghe County, it will probably take another ten days to get out of Yizhou.

Shen Zhenyuan in front frowned. There were not enough trees on both sides of this section of the official road to provide shade.

Now the sun has moved directly overhead. If we rest facing the sun, we might get heatstroke, which would affect our journey in the afternoon.

Looking at Lin Hu standing beside him, "Nephew, do you know the terrain ahead? Is there a place where we can rest?"

Lin Hu looked at the hillside in the distance and said, "Uncle Village Chief, we should be able to reach there in another quarter of an hour. We can then hide from the sun at the foot of the hillside."

Shen Zhenyuan looked in the direction he pointed. His eyes were a little cloudy and he couldn't see clearly, but he still nodded.

"Okay, let's speed up."

The people in front were speeding up silently, and the villagers at the back, who were exhausted, noticed that the people in front were speeding up, and they could only grit their teeth to keep up.

There were many people in the team complaining about why they had to rest so late today, and some people also agreed.

Shen Qi'an helped his uncle inform everyone. When he heard what they said, he suddenly asked, "Do you need me to convey your opinions to Fourth Grandpa?"

The few families who were still complaining suddenly became quiet as chickens. They were just complaining!

Even though they were stupid, they knew that they had to hurry on their journey for a reason, so they didn't dare to speak to the village chief.

"Haha, Qi An, that's not necessary. I think these old ladies just can't keep their mouths shut."

An uncle with quick reaction glared at his wife. Doesn’t she know what to say and what not to say?

Shen Qi'an didn't insist, "I just said that. Uncle Seven can see that there are no trees around, so we should rest here. Grandpa Four was afraid that everyone would get heatstroke, so he continued on his way."

Uncle Shen nodded, "Uncle Shen knows that your fourth grandfather is doing this for everyone's good."

Seeing that the women didn't say anything else, Shen Qian'an continued walking downstairs to inform others.

In fact, he could pretend not to hear what was said today, but if there were too many complaints in a team, it would affect the team's unity and Fourth Grandpa's decision.

There are so many refugees on the road now. If the team is not united, it will be easy to be targeted by people with ulterior motives.

Quarter of an hour later, they finally reached the edge of the hillside. A group of people carefully pushed the ox cart to the shaded area of ​​the hillside, finally avoiding the sun.

Everyone stayed where they were, and it took a while for them to recover. Shen Li took out some dried mint and gave it to Lin Cuicui.

"Mom, use this to boil water. We will drink this water in the afternoon."

"it is good."

Lin Cuicui obviously knew what effects mint had. She didn't even ask and just put it into the pot. She even took the time to tell her parents about it.

Shen Li couldn't stand touching her sticky body anymore. She saw her sister-in-law secretly scratching her body in another carriage.

Shen Li filled a wooden basin with some water, took out a piece of clean cotton cloth, and handed it to Xu Taohua.

My sister-in-law is pregnant now and is more afraid of heat than ordinary people. I’m afraid she can’t stand it now.

"Sister-in-law, go in and wipe it. I'll help you watch it."

Xu Taohua's frown relaxed a little, "Little sister, isn't this a waste of water?"

Now that they were on the road, it would be hard to find water, so she had been holding back and not saying anything.

"It's okay, I didn't get much water, come in."

"it is good."

Xu Taohua really couldn't stand the heat. In just two days, she had a lot of rashes all over her body, which were very itchy.

Her skin was scratched in many places, and after Shen Li said that, she didn't insist anymore.

Shen Li was being watched outside by her sister-in-law. Xu Taohua came out after a while, feeling a lot more relaxed.

Shen Li also put some water in to wipe it, and then quietly added a lot of water to the basin.

After wiping off all the sweat on his body, he sighed in comfort.

At this time, she missed modern air conditioning and refrigerators very much.

She put away her cotton cloth and asked Lin Cuicui and Li Qiaolan to go in and clean the place.

Xu Taohua and Shen Li took over the task of cooking. Of course, Xu Taohua was responsible for cooking. They didn't dare to give this job to Shen Li.

They were already hungry and tired after walking for a whole morning. If they were tortured by Shen Li, they might not have the strength to continue on in the afternoon!

Shen Li: (ー_ー)!!

At noon, I cooked some brown rice porridge, fried a dried chicken, added a lot of side dishes, and stewed them in a pot. The taste of the big pot dish was also very good.

The team was relatively quiet at noon today. After traveling for fifteen minutes, everyone was exhausted and just wanted to rest quickly after eating.

After finishing her meal, she went to the carriage and found a box of ointment. Just now, when her sister-in-law was cooking, Shen Li vaguely saw a few heat rashes on her arms.

Walking to the straw mat where Xu Taohua was resting, he said, "Sister-in-law, take this ointment and rub it on yourself."

Xu Taohua looked surprised. How did her younger sister know that she needed this?

Lin Cuicui and Li Qiaolan both looked at them.

"Taohua, you are pregnant now. If you feel uncomfortable, you should speak up."

Now on the road to escape famine, Lin Cuicui sometimes didn’t pay much attention. If Ali hadn’t told her, she wouldn’t have known!

Li Qiaolan nodded and looked at her daughter: "Taohua, your mother-in-law is right. We are now fleeing from famine, and sometimes we don't pay attention to so many things. You should pay more attention to it."

Xu Taohua showed a faint smile on her lips, "Mother-in-law, mother, I understand."

Lin Cuicui didn't say anything else, "Go wipe it quickly, and then come to sleep."

"it is good."

Xu Taohua went to the carriage to wipe it, and Shen Jingyuan was waiting outside with a depressed look on his face. It was all his fault that he was too careless and didn't notice his wife's discomfort.

He asked quietly, "Wife, why don't you say anything if you feel uncomfortable?"
