Chapter 5 Stinky Beggar

"Big sister, you're back."

When Lu Jinnian returned to where the brothers and sisters were, she saw the little sister coming over.

She said, "Let's go to the river. I'll go deal with the rabbit. Can Xiaoxin help big sister find some dry firewood?"

She had picked up some firewood just now, but it was not enough.

Hearing this, Lu Jinxin nodded and agreed. There was dry firewood nearby.

Seeing Lu Jinnian kill the rabbit, the children who had not eaten for many days began to move.

Except for Lu Jinqiu who had been unconscious, Lu Jincheng also followed his sister to collect firewood.

Lu Jinnian took the rabbit to the river and scraped the rabbit skin with a knife.

After peeling the whole rabbit, she picked a suitable piece of stone and returned to the place with the things.

Now there was nothing to use, so she began to try to make fire by rubbing two pieces of wood together. If it doesn't work, she can secretly light it with a lighter. It's better to try it first.

It's best to use drier wood to make fire by rubbing two pieces of wood together, and put some hay next to it so that the fire can be burned smoothly.

Lu Jinnian had been living in the apocalypse for many years, and she had to be good at this.

Of course, she had more than just this skill.

After drilling for more than ten minutes, the wood finally caught fire. Fortunately, there was not much rain due to the drought, so the hay could easily catch fire.

After the fire was covered, the brother and sister came back.

"Sister, how did you light the fire?" Lu Jinxin looked at the fire in surprise.

She didn't ask just now, and only remembered when she came back that their fire starter had been lost.

Lu Jinnian pointed to the used tools and said, "Drilling wood to make fire."

"Yes, we have no other way except this method." Lu Jinxin sighed. She thought her sister was very powerful because no one else had the strength.

Even if they could drill wood to make fire, they didn't have the strength to drill.

The brother and sister looked at the skinned rabbit and didn't ask how it was skinned. They were so hungry that they wanted to eat something.

They hadn't eaten for so many days and didn't know what it felt like to eat.

Forget about the roots and wild vegetables. Not only are they bitter, but they also cause severe stomach pain and prevent you from going to the toilet.

As the sun sets, the hare is also roasted. This kind of wild animal needs to be roasted in small pieces. If it is not cooked a little, the parasites in the meat will enter the stomach, which can easily cause dysentery.

After the siblings divided the food, Lu Jinnian went to wake up Lu Jinqiu.

Pinching the philtrum, the man woke up in a short while.

As for why this was not done in advance, it was also to let him rest. After so many days of long journey, it was really tiring.

"Big sister..."

Lu Jinqiu is thin and young, so she looks like a big-headed doll.

Seeing the child's appearance, Lu Jinnian's heart was inevitably moved. Now is not the end of the world. Is it really okay for her to be so hard-hearted?

The child is almost starving to death, but she is indifferent...

"Come quickly, little brother, big sister is hunting rabbits, they smell so good." Lu Jinxin interrupted her thoughts and called the person away.

As soon as he heard that there was food, Lu Jinnian crawled and rolled to the fire, then took the roasted rabbit handed to him and lay on the ground to eat.

As for why he was lying down, he couldn't sit up at all, and he could only lie down to exercise his strength.

Looking at the children eating with satisfied expressions on their faces, Lu Jinnian turned his head away.

Thinking back to when she took over the original owner's body, she promised in her heart that she would take good care of the other person's younger brothers and sisters, but now the children are starving to death.

She didn't do it at all...

Lu Jinnian thought, it seems that I have to hurry up, otherwise these children will have to suffer and starve to death with me.

With tonight's food, these children slept very well, and it was rare that they didn't wake up often because of hunger.

After waking up in the morning, they didn't talk about being hungry, but had smiles on their faces, and they were obviously satisfied.

It's okay to eat one meal a day or two. Now my stomach is not as hungry as before, and I feel energetic.

"Today we are going to find a place to settle down, so we have to choose a good place." Lu Jinnian said as he walked in front.

To say that we are settling down is just to find a place to continue camping, without even a tent.

Despite this, everyone had a smile on their face.

Because they no longer have to walk, the blisters on the soles of their feet have been worn out and grown, and have turned into calluses, or they have been rotting.

They have no strength and energy to go on.

Lu Jinnian looked at his brothers and sisters. They were only twelve years old. How much perseverance could they have?

But this experience has made them grow a lot. At least they understand that living is not easy.

The four siblings walked along the river. If they want to survive, they must have water.

Although there is no severe drought here, the water has become less, which can be seen from the riverbed.

The river, which was originally about fifteen meters wide, has become five or six meters wide.

But seeing that it is already autumn, it won't be too sad in the future.

The water will not dry up again.

Lu Jinnian led them to walk for more than half an hour, and actually saw a village by the river.

The village is on the uphill slope. If you look up from the river, you can see houses and smoke from cooking.

When you come to the shore, behind the woods by the river is the rice field, but you can tell from the sparse rice seedlings that the harvest will not be good.

"Get away, you stinky beggar!" A childish voice rang out.

Lu Jinnian looked over and saw that the person who spoke was a child of six or seven years old.

He was holding a swill bucket in his hand, and his expression looked very angry and a little disgusted.

"You! What right do you have to say that we are beggars?" Lu Jincheng is at an age with a strong self-esteem, and of course he would not be happy to be called a beggar.

So, he tried his best to refute that they are not beggars, although they are very stinky.

The boy sneered and said, "I have seen many people like you. You'd better stay away from our village!"

Although Lu Jinnian was unhappy that he treated others like this at such a young age, he did not argue.

Arguing with such a child, what would it matter if he won?

Lu Jincheng was very angry, but because he was not very hungry, he actually had the energy to cry.

After such a long period of fatigue and despair, they burst out directly with today's grievances.

"I'm not a beggar! I'm not a beggar!"

Seeing him cry, seven-year-old Lu Jinqiu also cried, and Lu Jinxin was the same, wiping tears with grievances.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jinnian was also stunned, "Stop crying, we are not begging, we are not beggars!"

She didn't know how to coax the children, what should she do?

But the children had been holding back for too long, and they cried endlessly, as if they wanted to cry their tears dry.

No matter how they were coaxed, it didn't work, they just kept crying, which made Lu Jinnian a headache.

The children opposite didn't expect them to cry, and stood there at a loss for a while.

Who knew that this person who looked older than him would cry after just a few words?
