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

After hearing this, Shen Yuanzhou was silent for a moment. He didn't know what the brother and sister had experienced before that made them so eager to become stronger.

"Then come on."

"Uh-huh."

Over there, Shen Xiaoya was picking up firewood in the woods, where no one could see her. Just like the Lu brothers and sisters, she chose to do the horse stance, and she did it very steadily.

She only dared to practice secretly and did not dare to practice in front of her grandmother. Otherwise, not only would she be scolded, but her mother would also be implicated.

When she was carrying the firewood back, her grandmother Yang Chunyan grabbed her ear and said, "Where have you been? It took you so long to collect firewood. Are you lazy?"

Shen Xiaoya tiptoed towards her grandmother and said, "No, no, there is no firewood nearby, so I ran a little further away."

Yang Chunyan looked at her and saw that she didn't seem like someone who would dare to lie, so she snorted and let go of her hand.

Shen Xiaoya lowered her head and rubbed her ears, which were pinched red. Not daring to say anything, she hurried over to help with firewood in her arms.

When the sun was setting, Shen Changshan and his group returned, holding two dead pheasants in his hands.

The others also gained something and had smiles on their faces.

Lin Cuicui took it, and she and Li Qiaolan quickly processed it and started cooking.

"Dad, didn't you find any water?"

Shen Changshan shook his head, a trace of worry between his brows, "No, I only found a dried-up stream. I walked along it and finally dug out some soil, which turned out to be quite moist."

"We still have to walk in the mountains for several days, and we will eventually find water."

"Ah."

Shen Li stuffed her bag into Shen Changshan's arms, took out a spiritual fruit and handed it to him, "Dad, eat it quickly, and after you finish eating, find an excuse to share these fruits."

"Row."

He planned to divide it after dinner. By then everyone would have finished dinner and would be ready to rest. Who would stare at their house so late at night?

Because Shen Changshan hunted two pheasants, the rabbit was saved for tomorrow's meal.

In the evening, Lin Cuicui stewed a pot of rice, made a pot of chicken soup, and fried some wild vegetables.

The Lin family also harvested some wild game, so there was no need to give them any extra. After all, the two pheasants were not very fat, and they were not enough for the family to eat.

Everyone took their own bowl, filled it with rice, added a spoonful of chicken soup, and a handful of wild vegetables, then found a place to squat and eat.

Their own bowls are now carried in personal cloth bags, and the pots used for cooking and frying are all washed with water when they are used.

Because water is so hard to find, this is the case for everyone. If you use water to wash dishes, isn't that clearly showing that you have plenty of water at home?

Fortunately, Shen Li knew where the bowls were placed. She would quietly move them into the space, wash them, and then take them out and put them away.

Everyone else in the family thought that Lin Cuicui washed it secretly, so they didn't say anything.

At night, someone in the team was on guard while the Shen family was asleep. From time to time, the sound of someone in the team slapping mosquitoes could be heard.

At this time, Shen Li would subconsciously pinch the sachet around her waist. Fortunately, she had made preparations in advance, otherwise she would have been bitten by mosquitoes when entering the forest!

The forest gradually became quiet, with the occasional bird calls.

The night passed peacefully, and the team set off again at dawn.

Today the team sped up a little bit, and in the evening, they found a random place on the side of the road to set up camp.

Shen Li stood on a high ground and looked into the distance. After a while, Lin Biao, Lin Hu and Shen Changshan came over.

Lin Biao looked at Shen Li and asked with a smile: "What are you looking at, Li?"

"Grandpa, I'm looking to see which tree is greener."

"Oh, what are you looking at this for?"

"Water should be found where the trees are greener."

Lin Biao stroked his beard and laughed, "Yes, you can say that!"

Then he looked at the two people beside him and said, "You two should also take a look and then lead the team to find water."

"good "

The four of them stood on a high place and identified for a long time before finally determining a direction.

Shen Li also went with them. Those who went to find water were covered with several empty water bags.

Not long after Shen Li and the others left, a team arrived from behind and set up camp not far from them to rest.

The number of people on both sides was about the same, and they were not too far away from each other, so no one paid any attention to each other.

Shen Zhenyuan looked at the team over there. Their clothes were much neater than those of the refugees. They should be the same as them, having just fled from famine not long ago.

This way, you can feel more at ease.

"Village leader, look at that team over there."

"What are you looking at? Just do your own thing and don't worry about it."

The man being scolded stammered and lowered his head, "Yes."

In the woods, a group of people moved quickly in the direction they had just chosen. Occasionally, when they came across wild fruits, a few people would stop to pick them and then quickly catch up.

Their speed was not slow, and half an hour had passed when they arrived at the preferred place.

"Okay, the leaves around here are getting greener. Let's go look around here together. Maybe the water source is nearby."

"it is good."

Shen Jingyuan looked at Shen Li, "Ali, the two of us will go together."

Shen Li has released her mental power and is looking around. Not far ahead, there is a stream that is about to dry up. There is a pool of water in the stream.

"Okay, let's go this way."

After he finished speaking, he led Shen Jingyuan in one direction. After walking for a while, they saw a dry stream. They walked upstream for about a cup of tea.

"Ali, did you hear any sound?"

Shen Jingyuan stopped and listened carefully to identify the direction of the sound, and then said: "It seems to be the sound of flowing water!"

"Ali, we found water!"

Shen Li was also happy, "Brother, let's go and take a look!"

"it is good."

They walked for a while before they saw a stream of water. The brother and sister looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement.

Continue walking upwards carefully and you will soon see a pool of water. The pool is round, about four meters in diameter, and the water is about one meter deep.

The pond was very clear, with no fish or shrimp in it, and the bottom of the pond was all stone, no mud.

There are two huge rocks above the pool, and not far away is a mountain wall with moss growing on it.

Shen Jingyuan was excited. Seeing that the water in the pool was still flowing out, he picked up the stones and sand nearby and quickly blocked the water flow.

"Ali, go and call father and the others over."

"Okay, then be careful, big brother."

Before Shen Li left, she released her mental power to explore the surroundings to make sure there was no danger before leaving.

"Dad, there is water over there."

After hearing this, Shen Changshan and Lin Hu blew a whistle to call back everyone nearby, and then the group walked towards the direction of the pond.

When they saw the pool of water, everyone's face was filled with excitement.

"After so many days, we finally found a water source!"

"Great!"

Shen Li walked up to Shen Changshan and said, "Dad, my eldest brother, two cousins ​​and I will be guarding here. You go back and get buckets to fetch water."

"Row."

The group returned to the camp with excited faces, but when they saw a group of refugees not far away, they immediately restrained their expressions.

"There's something wrong with the village chief!"

"Look at how excited they were just now. Did they find water?"

Upon hearing this, An Ping, the village chief of Anjia Village, narrowed his eagle eyes and said, "Don't look over there now. You will know when you follow them later."
