Chapter 126 Arrival at the Exile
Since all the food they brought was taken away, the Li family only had one goat left, so everyone's attention was focused on it.
After a few days of well-fed and well-dressed days, Li Ye didn't want to go hungry anymore. "Third brother, why don't you kill this sheep? It's enough for our family to eat for two days. We'll arrive at our destination in two days."
Li Yuan rejected it outright, "No, if we kill the sheep, where will the milk be? What will happen to Zhao Zhao?"
Old Mrs. Li curled her lips in displeasure, but she didn't say anything offensive because someone would.
Zhao is this person.
"Third brother, she's just a little girl. I'm afraid she won't have a good life there. Rather than letting her suffer, it's better to get rid of her early..."
"Shut up." Li Yuan snorted and scolded, "Sister-in-law, Zhao Zhao is my daughter, don't say that anymore."
Zhao pursed her lips, but stared at the goat as if she wanted to bite off one of its thighs.
Since there were no houses nearby, let alone markets and shops, the hungry Li family looked at the Gu family who had never had to worry about food and drink.
Zhao Shi didn't get any advantage from Li Yuan, and she was unwilling to accept it. She wanted to vent her anger, "Oh, well, this time, let's all starve together."
Starving?
Li Mumu smiled.
Whoever wants to go hungry can go hungry, but she will never let her family go hungry.
The Gu family didn't care. They hadn't been hungry along the way, so it didn't matter if they skipped a few meals occasionally.
Li Mumu glanced at the gloating Zhao and said, "Mom, I'm going to play over there for a while."
Gu Yuru nodded, "Be careful, don't get hurt."
Li Mumu responded sweetly, then heard Zhao's sarcastic voice behind her, "It's freezing in this snowy weather. I don't believe you can still get food."
Li Mumu didn't waste time talking to her. She wanted to shut her up with facts.
The snow was a foot thick where they were staying, and it was quite difficult for Li Mumu's small body to walk in the snow.
However, she had not walked far before she quickly took out a bag of sweet potatoes, dried meat, and some pickles from the space and put them in the bag.
"oops!"
"Mumu!" Gu Yuru rushed over when she heard her daughter's voice, but Xie Xun arrived at Li Mumu's side before her.
Li Mumu blinked at him, and Xie Xun knew that nothing was wrong with the little girl.
"Mumu, what's wrong?" Gu Yuru asked after pulling her daughter out of the snow and holding her in her arms.
Li Mumu cleared her throat and said loudly, "Mom, there's something here. I bumped into it. Can you take a look at what it is?"
Xie Xun then noticed that there was indeed a bag where she had just been. He hurried to check, "Sweet potatoes, dried meat, and this is... pickles!"
"There's food!" Gu Yu tossed his short legs around and pounced after falling twice.
Song Qiang laughed so hard that her body shook. "Oh, I don't have to go hungry this time, that's great!"
The Li family members' eyes were burning with jealousy, and Li Ye kept swallowing his saliva as he looked at the goat.
Xie Xun lowered his voice and asked, "Where did this come from?"
Everyone saw the little girl walking over empty-handed, but suddenly a bag of food appeared. He didn't believe that she could create something out of thin air.
Li Mumu had already thought of an excuse, "I asked Uncle Peng and the others to prepare it in advance."
Anyway, Peng Wanli is not here, so there is no way to verify it.
When we meet again, maybe everyone has forgotten about it.
Xie Xun thought that it was Li Mumu who suggested to rest here, and there was a big tree next to it, which was also a very obvious mark. It made sense to say that they had agreed on it before.
Although Xie Xun could bring the food back by himself, Gu Yu insisted on helping him. As a result, he fell into the snow again after taking only two steps.
When a bag of food appeared in front of everyone, Zhao said jealously, "There's no one here, where did all this come from? I hope it's not poisonous, right?"
What she was thinking was, why didn’t she go over there?
If I had left, I might have discovered that thing myself.
"Oh, it's poisonous, extremely poisonous. If you eat it, you will bleed from all seven orifices!" Li Mumu smiled as she watched the adults roast the sweet potatoes on the fire while distributing the dried meat to everyone.
"Mumu, was it prepared by Manager Peng?" Gu Mingyu asked.
Li Mumu nodded, and everyone started eating with peace of mind.
There were a lot of things, and Li Mumu also distributed them to the yamen runners. Although they knew about the plan, they also complained a little at the thought of going hungry. However, because the Gu family had saved them many times, they didn't say anything.
But now it seems that they were overthinking safety.
The sweet roasted sweet potatoes and dried meat were even more delicious than the food they brought with them.
At this time, Sun also squeezed out a small bowl of goat milk. Her hands were red from the cold, but Mrs. Li despised her and asked, "Why is it so little?"
Sun shook her head, "That's all there is. I can't squeeze out even a drop."
"That's impossible!" Li Rong said, "This sheep was enough for the whole family to eat when it was at their house. How come it's only this small when it comes to ours? Did someone steal it?"
She glanced at everyone, but no one admitted it. Come to think of it, everyone was on their way, so who had the time?
Even if it was only half a bowl, some had to be left for Li Zhaozhao. She had to eat once an hour. Even if she ate little, she would eat so often.
In the end, this was only enough for her to eat, and others could only smell it.
The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the angrier she became. She refused to let her son, the sheep, kill him, and started yelling at Li Zhaozhao, who was still in his cradle. "What good fortune? I think you're a jinx! You've been feeding on a healthy sheep for two days, and it's already run out of milk. There's so much food hidden in the snow, why didn't you say anything?"
Zhao was so angry that she secretly pinched the baby in the cradle, and when Li Yuan looked over, she just said that the baby had peed.
When she was changing Li Zhaozhao's diaper, Li Mumu clearly saw that her little butt was red because of being wrapped in a wet diaper for a long time.
As Zhao casually wrapped up Li Zhaozhao, she cursed viciously in a low voice, "Eat it, eat it! How dare you eat something of unknown origin? Eat them to death."
But she waited from dawn to dusk, and then to dawn again, and even arrived in Baishi County, and the Gu family was all fine.
They were already starving.
They finally found a place where they could buy things, but unfortunately, no one in the Li family could afford it.
It was almost midnight, and Liuzi took everyone to stay in the inn. After all, going to call the county magistrate of Baishi County at this time would be a real nuisance. They could just leave, but what about the Gu family?
They still have to live here, and they will have a hard time if they offend the county magistrate.
Liuzi didn't want to cause trouble for the Gu family, but he didn't expect that the Gu family would offend the county magistrate in the end.
