The rice cooked by Feng Zhenniang last night did not make Sanliang full, but it was very good for him. At least he could eat half full. If it were the previous hosts, he could not even eat half full. He had to eat slop or compete with dogs for food.

There is no way. The feeling of being hungry is really worse than death. People can only think when their stomachs are full.

"Sanliang, tell me if you're tired, don't force it." Lin Rui saw that he was the same age as Xiao Mu, but he did much more work than adults.

Sanliang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I'm not tired, Master, don't worry about me. I'm fine!"

He suddenly felt guilty. Sanliang's load-bearing capacity was second only to the two ox carts in the family. It was almost like using a man like a mule. He walked over to Sanliang and pressed an egg into his hand that his mother had secretly given him this morning.

"Master!" Sanliang's hand immediately reacted when it touched the smooth oval object, and he looked at Lin Rui with wide eyes in surprise: "Master!"

Lin Rui hushed, "Eat quickly."

He looked back at his second sister, and was frightened by her bulging belly. He immediately dug out a place for her to sit in the corner of the ox cart and helped her sit on it.

Lin Zao Zao had been walking all the way, fearing that her pregnancy would hold everyone back, so she had been forcing herself to hold on. In reality, her legs were swollen from walking all day yesterday. Even now, when her younger brother helped her onto the ox cart, she was still extremely nervous and kept refusing, "Rui Er, it's okay, I really don't need it!"

"You have to not do it. If not for yourself, you should think about the baby in your belly. You can't let my niece suffer!" He insisted on forcing Lin Zaozao to sit on the ox cart. Lin Zaozao saw that her parents and elder sisters were fine, so she sat down with peace of mind.

Lin Susu called Niuniu to her side and coaxed her: "Niuniu, let's give the ox cart to Auntie, and you can sit in the wheelbarrow pushed by Daddy, okay?"

The ox cart only had a small space, and if Niu Niu sat on it, the space would be a bit cramped for my little sister, who had a double body. Niu Niu was also sensible and obedient, so Zhao Qing carried her onto the wheelbarrow and surrounded her with something to prevent her from falling off.

The road to Lianshan was uphill and it was very difficult for everyone to walk. Everyone was trying their best. There were no trees to provide shade on this road and the sun was shining directly on it. The three ox carts were hot and tired and they immediately got angry and refused to move on.

Lin Pingmao was so distressed that he kept yelling for the old cow to stop and rest so as not to tire itself out.

Lin Rui was not going to tolerate it. The oxcart was meant to serve people, so how could he indulge its temper? Moreover, they had only walked less than a thousand meters in the morning and it was already throwing a tantrum? He broke off a thin stick and hit the ox with it: "Go!"

Lin Changxi was also distressed and hurriedly snatched the thin strip back: "Rui'er, what are you doing!"

To Lin Changxi, these two cows were like the sports cars his family had just bought. He still felt like a treasure and felt heartbroken when they got a little scratched.

The cow, having been whipped, calmed down and began to run obediently along the mountain road again.

The three cousins ​​Lin Ziyang, Lin Zikun and Lin Zizheng, who were clearing the way with sickles and hoes in front, started working again. Even the deeper mountains were sparsely populated. The roads that had not been walked on were overgrown with weeds, and the weeds were as tall as a person. There was no guarantee that snakes, insects, rats and ants would be hiding in them, and you might get bitten if you were not careful.

With Lin Zicheng's previous experience as a lesson, the three brothers Lin Ziyang and Lin Zikun did their work of paving the way more seriously.

Seeing that Lin Changxi's ox cart was moving, Lin Changtai followed suit, pulled out a thin stick and hit the ox hard, and the cart became obedient.

The most terrifying thing in the mountains is not the tigers, leopards and wolves, but the endless stream of mosquitoes. Cows are creatures that particularly like to attract flies and insects, and soon the mosquitoes near them will eat people.

Lin Rui quickly called a halt: "Hurry, hurry, everyone, pull up the cloth and cover your heads and faces! There are more and more mosquitoes. Wrap them up tightly!" Mosquitoes are the best way to spread infectious diseases. Although I haven't heard of mosquitoes carrying infectious diseases and causing death in ancient times, there are still many cases of mosquito-related deaths in modern news. The less you can get bit by it, the better.

As soon as the team stopped, every household started to get busy. The women accurately found the cloth among the piles of belongings, cut it with a knife, and covered the children and the elderly first, and then covered themselves and their husbands.

Lin Susu, Lin Zaozao, Mrs. Lu and Feng Zhenniang were all good at needlework. They skillfully made an ancient version of a simple mosquito-proof mask in just a few minutes.

It is a bit stuffy, but it is also like mosquitoes flying all over your face, eyes and nose. It is no exaggeration to say that there are so many mosquitoes now that you can eat at least a dozen of them if you open your mouth.

The sun was incredibly strong, there was no wind at all, and the air was distorted by the heat. If it weren't for their walking group, the entire forest would have looked like a static picture.

"It looks like it's going to rain heavily today!"

"Hurry up and get off. I'm dying of heat."

"It's time to go down. I'm almost out of water."

"You didn't drink at the spring last night?"

"Fill it up, fill it up. There are only a few water bags. With so many people in the family, if everyone takes a sip, they will all be finished in the morning. I am still saving and saving."

Lin Ziyang and others, who were halfway through clearing the road, suddenly stopped and slowly retreated to a safe distance before they breathed a sigh of relief.

"What the hell!" Lin Rui saw the sneaky figures of several people and wanted to ask what was going on, but he was caught off guard when he saw the whole tree covered in fiery red.

The height of those small trees was only up to a person's waist, but the branches and leaves were covered with red caterpillars. They were wriggling after being frightened, and many of them fell to the ground one after another.

"Why are there so many caterpillars?"

"Hiss, they're all here! There are more than on our own fruit trees!"

"There are these bugs all over the tree trunks and leaves. They're so hairy and disgusting just looking at them!"

These caterpillars have three overlapping rings of red, black and green all over their bodies. The red color is more conspicuous than the previous two types, so at first glance they look like red caterpillars. Their bodies are covered with white fluff, and the worm-like bodies give people goose bumps.

Lin Ziyang and Lin Rui both thought of the feeling Lin Zicheng had described today. They picked a leaf and felt the fluffy texture when wiping their buttocks.

Oh my god, could it be that he picked a leaf covered with red caterpillars to wipe his butt?

It seems that being stung like that is not unfair. Just looking at it, there must be at least dozens of red caterpillars densely packed on a leaf. Just imagine all of them having a close contact with my butt...

A red caterpillar fell from the top of the forest and landed right on his hand. Looking up, he saw that this area seemed to be the nest of the red caterpillars, crawling everywhere with these caterpillars.

"Is the mosquito repellent mask ready?" Lin Rui shouted, knowing that he couldn't stay here for long.

Everyone was ready: "Alright!"

"Let's take a detour and leave this forest first!"

With the previous experience of Lin Zicheng as a lesson, no one dared to underestimate the stinging power of this red caterpillar. Even mosquitoes were relegated to second place. The Lin men flexed their muscles and pushed the wheelbarrows and carts at a rapid speed.
