After walking for about another quarter of an hour, just when Tong Wen Yao was wondering why she hadn't rested yet, she heard a voice from the front telling her to rest in place. This made her body feel relaxed. The original owner was too weak and was already out of breath after walking for a while. However, it might be because she didn't have enough to eat. She only had two meals a day. If she continued like this, she might die on the way, let alone reach the border!

Tong Wen Yao ran briskly to Qian's mother and said, "Mom, I'll go to the front and reserve a seat. You can sit under that tree and rest later!" After saying that, without waiting for Qian's mother to refuse, she took the package from Qian's mother and carried it on her back.

When Qian's mother saw this, she didn't say anything to refuse, but just asked her to run slower! As soon as she put down the package, she saw her brother walking through the crowd.

She hurriedly shouted, "Brother, we are here!" Tong Wenyao was walking with them in front because they had to carry Tong Wenyao on their backs. Tong Wenyao felt sorry for him and didn't let him carry them, so Tong Wenyao naturally walked in front, otherwise the officers might whip him.

On the road to exile, men walked in front, and women and children followed behind. Tong Wenyao's initial worries eased after he saw his sister was in better spirits. However, he was still unsure whether his mother's health could withstand the exile.

"Brother, wait here for Mom to come. I'll go see if there's any river water nearby so I can boil some hot water for Mom!" He frowned and said, "Sister, sit here while I fetch some water." Tong Wenyao couldn't let him fetch water. She was going to see if the villa was real. If it was, she wanted to get some sugar from the villa and put it in the water so she'd have more energy for walking.

After escaping the crowd, she slipped deep into the dense forest. Making sure no one saw her, she suddenly arrived at the villa. Seeing the familiar scene, her eyes welled up. Heaven truly had rewarded her. In her previous life, during the zombie epidemic, she'd bought a large amount of supplies: canned food, food, medicine, books, even a computer! Furthermore, this villa was located in the mountains. It was a reward from a certain tycoon she'd saved. After traveling through time, she'd always felt like she'd gotten a bargain. She hadn't expected the villa to come with her.

She took a quick look on the first floor and found several freezers filled with frozen meat, compressed biscuits, and most importantly, weapons. But after thinking about it, she felt it was not appropriate to take them out. She rummaged for a while and finally took out a dagger, which was also good for self-defense.

After stuffing a few bites of bread into her mouth, she walked to the backyard and took a look. She found the grapes were green. She picked one and tasted it. It was very sweet! In her previous life, she had planted a backyard full of fruit trees that she wanted to eat. In addition to grapes, there were also durian and other fruits...

She quickly picked two or three bunches of grapes and, as she passed the grape trellis, unexpectedly discovered a spring in the yard. It was not big, about the size of a bowl. She scooped up a pool of spring water, and the clear, sweet water flowed down her throat and into her stomach.

"Ah! So sweet! I feel so full of energy after drinking it!" Could this spring water have some magical properties? It wasn't her fault. In those novels, everyone has a fountain of youth or a spring that cleanses the bones and marrow. Now she has one in her space too. Could it have the same effect? ​​Thinking this way, she took out the bamboo tube, poured out the water inside, and began to fill it up. Fortunately, after she finished filling it up, the spring water slowly gushed out from the pit again.

After getting some more candies from the room on the first floor, Tong Wen Yao left the space. It was lunch time at noon, and each of the exiled families cooked their own food. Tong Wen Yao took some water from a clay pot and wondered if she could catch a fish in the river to supplement Qian's mother's nutrition. If not, she planned to take two out of the space. She also took some bread crumbs from the space, held them in her fist, and put her hand into the river. Slowly, four or five fish came to eat.

She narrowed her eyes and reached for the largest grass carp. She had lived in the apocalypse for a while in her previous life, so she knew how to catch fish. Quick-witted, she immediately clamped her hands around the fish's gills. The fish's tail thrashed, and the churning water soaked her trouser legs. The fish was incredibly powerful. If Tong Wenyao hadn't eaten something in her space to fill her stomach, she probably wouldn't have been able to catch it.

The fish struggled for a while, its eyes rolling back. Tong Wenyao didn't dare to be careless and still grabbed the fish by the gills and dragged it to the shore. Just as it was about to reach the shore, the fish struggled violently, its body slapping red, obviously in its death throes. Fortunately, she was prepared in advance and did not let the fish break free.

After two rounds, Tong Wenyao caught three fish. The big one was estimated to be more than ten kilograms, and the small one was about five or six kilograms. When she was thinking about how to catch them, she heard a voice from behind, "Yao'er, Yao'er..."

After she heard clearly that it was her brother calling her, she quickly responded, "Here." Tong Wenyao heard his sister's response and ran over quickly, but when he got there, he was dumbfounded. How could his sister become so good that she could even catch fish!

Seeing him like this, Tong Wenyao couldn't help but smile and explained, "I came to the river to fill water. I don't know what these fish ate, but they were floating with their eyes rolled back. I thought I couldn't waste them, so I pulled them up."

Then she received Tong Wenyao's admiring gaze, "Sister, you are amazing. But next time, let your brother come. The river is too dangerous!"

She nodded and followed him back. When they were almost at the team, Tong Wenyao leaned close to her and whispered, "Sister, I want to get a piece of paper to give to the officers. Even if the officers don't care, it's better than them making things difficult for us."

After hearing this, she felt that her brother was good at handling human relationships, otherwise how could he carry her from front to back when she fainted!

After seeing his sister agreed, he took the smaller one and was about to go over, but his elbow was pulled. He turned around, thinking that his sister didn't want to give it to him anymore.

"Brother, take the big one!" He was surprised when he heard that. His sister had been eager to give her all the good ones to eat before, so why was she willing to give the big one to the official now?

"The small ones are enough for us. If there are more of them, they can eat the big one. Otherwise, it would be a waste if we can't finish it." After saying that, she handed the big one to him and took the two small ones back to the woods.

Qian's mother was lighting a fire. The smoke made her tears flow and her throat itchy, causing her to cough constantly. Seeing this, Cui's mother from the second wife sighed and stood up to help light the fire.

"Sister-in-law, you're pregnant. Just let Jiang'er and the others light the fire." Mother Qian drank the water Mother Cui handed over and said with a sense of loss, "I'll do what I can to make it easier for them."

Cui's mother fell silent, only fanning the flames. Her father had told her that the Tong family, at the pinnacle of their social life, could fall to ruin if they weren't careful, yet she resolutely married Tong Yuanzhong. She loved him, and she also loved the Tong family's environment. The Tong family had a family motto: men couldn't take concubines. Only after they were over forty and had nowhere else to go could they take concubines. This alone moved her to pity, and after being rescued by Tong Wenzhong in the river, she vowed to marry him.
