Lin Rui's family's meal was also ready. Feng Zhenniang silently used bowls to serve everyone in turn. It was quite fair. She used branches to mash the cooked and oil-cured meat into a paste and mixed it into the rice so that everyone could taste the meat.

There was also an egg in the bowl of Lin Zaozao and her three children. The children were so happy that they started eating it with big mouthfuls.

When Lin Rui finished eating, he found an egg at the bottom of the bowl and looked at Feng Zhenniang in surprise.

Feng Zhenniang felt uncomfortable under her son's gaze: "What are you looking at? Eat your meal!"

Lin Rui grinned: "Thank you, mother, for traveling all day and still cooking for us."

After dinner, everyone put the wheelbarrows in the outer circle, and people stayed in the area illuminated by the fire. Each family sent one person to keep watch at night. They were Sanliang, Zhao Qing, Lin Zijun, Lin Zicheng and Lin Ziming.

Each guard lasts for an hour, and by the time he finishes, it will be dawn.

The woods are full of dangers at night. If you don't keep watch, wolves, tigers and leopards might appear from some corner and drag you away to eat you. There's no way around it. The wilderness is much more dangerous than the village. If it weren't for the chaos and human disasters, who would be willing to leave their hometown?

After a tiring day, everyone made a bed on the floor after dinner and put the child in the middle, covered him with clothes and let him sleep.

Zhao Qing was in the second group to keep watch. At this time, he held his wife and daughter in his arms. Niu Niu had eaten a full meal and had fallen asleep. The couple were talking in low voices.

"Susu, Rui'er took our rice bag to my mother-in-law, and said that he would have dinner with them from now on." Zhao Qing thought of his brother-in-law's cheerful look when he spoke, and it would be a lie to say that he was not touched.

Lin Susu naturally understood the reason. Her husband was a hunter, and the family had little food reserves. They only had a little more dried venison and rabbit meat than other families. If they ate as much as they wanted, there would be little left in less than a month. Moreover, there was no telling when this road to escape the famine would end, and no telling when they would be able to climb over the endless mountains.

Lin Rui took away his own rice bag just to give the couple some respect, and he didn't touch the dried meat at all.

"Rui'er has grown up and become sensible!" Lin Susu said with emotion.

Lin Rui woke up from his sleep and found that the person on night watch had been replaced by Lin Zicheng, who was holding a torch and adding firewood to the burning fire to prevent it from going out.

Seeing that his parents were asleep, he got up carefully. Lin Zicheng, who was on night watch, saw him and asked softly, "Lin Rui, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Rui naturally couldn't say that he had to go back to the house: "Go to the bathroom."

"Be careful, don't go too far. If you encounter any danger, just shout and I'll come!" Lin Zicheng reminded Lin Rui.

Lin Rui nodded: "I understand, cousin."

Then he carefully walked past the sleeping Lin family members to the outer circle, found a slightly loose thorn bush nearby, squatted down to hide his body, and returned to the modern house in one thought.

The luxuriously decorated house was Lin Rui's favorite in every way. He threw himself on the soft sofa, rolled around comfortably for a few times, then opened the refrigerator, grabbed two ice creams, and ate a bag of potato chips to his heart's content. Anyway, the house would be recreated when he entered it again tomorrow.

Thinking about the restless mosquito bites tonight, he opened the locker and took out more than a dozen bottles of medicated oil and put them on his body. The medicated oil was made of small glass bottles, and it would be difficult to explain if he used it in public. He rummaged through the drawers at home until he found a retro gourd container, opened the bottles of medicated oil, and poured the liquid into the small gourd one by one.

Before going out, he even rubbed pungent medicated oil on his exposed skin to prevent mosquito bites. God knows the mosquito bites on his ankles and neck were swollen, tight, painful and itchy.

The days of fleeing famine are really not something a human can live through.

Now that we have food and drinks on the way, the time to move supplies out of the house is not so tight. The best opportunity is to wait until the next time he is on guard and move them slowly. Perfect!

He came out of the house when the control time was almost up. He had only taken a few steps when he met Lin Zicheng who was coming towards him.

Lin Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief after seeing him: "Where have you been? I just called you nearby and you didn't respond, so I thought..."

Lin Rui laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I have a problem. I can't poop when there are too many people around, so I walked a little further away."

Lin Zicheng frowned: "You have to change this bad habit. In this deep forest, there might be some wild beast jumping out. It would be too late for you to escape then."

Lin Rui nodded repeatedly, "I understand, cousin. Let's go back."

Lin Zicheng looked embarrassed: "Well, Lin Rui, can you help me watch over the night for a while?"

Lin Rui paused, looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I need to go untie my hands, too."

People have three urgent things! Lin Rui could understand, so he nodded: "Okay, cousin, you go."

After about a cup of tea, Lin Zicheng came back with a look of pain on his face.

Lin Rui looked at him strangely: "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Zicheng tried his best to endure the discomfort in his buttocks and shook his head: "It's nothing, thank you for keeping watch for me, I'll come back when you're on guard."

Lin Rui waved his hand: "It's just for a little while, don't be so formal."

Lin Zicheng nodded and sat down carefully on the ground. As his buttocks touched the ground, his whole body trembled and he swallowed the scream that was about to come out of his mouth.

Lin Rui looked curiously: "Cousin, are you... really okay?"

Lin Zicheng gritted his teeth and responded: "Don't worry, Lin Rui, I'm really fine!"

As if smelling something strange, he asked Lin Rui: "Do you smell anything?"

"What does it smell like?"

"It's a very cool and pungent smell, not too bad."
