So, this time everyone got two big swords, and Xu Da and Carpenter Zhang each got five taels of silver.
After a short rest, everyone followed the route Quanzi described and walked for an hour.
"It seems that this route is real!" Tang's mother looked happy.
Tang Youyou looked at the sky and pointed to a hillside in the distance: "Do you see that? Once we get over that hill, we'll rest."
Old Man Tang gasped for breath: "It will be almost dark by the time we get over there!"
At this moment, everyone's straw sandals were rotten from the bottom. The mountain road was rugged and there were many stones, so everyone basically walked barefoot.
She sighed and took out a few pieces of clothing from her bag. "I don't know whose these belong to. Tear them up and wrap them around my feet. We don't have time to make straw sandals right now."
Xu Da slapped his forehead and said, "We forgot to take all the clothes and shoes from those three bandits. What a loss!"
Everyone: "..."
Everyone agreed, tore their clothes, wrapped their feet with them, and walked forward with difficulty until they reached the hillside. It was just getting dark.
Everyone collapsed to the ground, exhausted, unable to move. Their vision went black, their minds went blank, and they felt as if all their strength had been drained away, their bodies nearly falling apart.
"Eat something and rest. We can't make a fire and cook for the next few days. Pick some wild vegetables and make a cold dish!"
It is said to be a cold dish, but in fact it is just washed and a little salt added.
Lin Huahua frowned: "Mom, we seem to be out of salt!"
Tang Youyou waved her hand: "I saw it this morning, there's still a jar!"
Lin Huahua widened her eyes, scratched her head, and muttered to herself: "Could it be that my eyes are blurry? I searched for a long time this morning and couldn't find it."
Until Tang Youyou handed her the jar: "This jar is enough for us to eat for many days. You, child, must be too tired these days. Go to sleep quickly!"
Lin Huahua pursed her lips. She had been worried these days and hadn't slept much. She didn't fall asleep until midnight last night.
Xiao Si came over to massage Tang You You's legs: "Mom, let Xiao Si massage your legs!"
She rubbed Xiao Si's head and felt all the fatigue of the day disappear: "Good boy, Mom is not tired. Go to bed quickly, otherwise you won't be able to run away if you meet a bad guy!"
Xiao Si lay beside her and fell asleep obediently.
Listening to the breathing and snoring around her, and smelling her own scent, she couldn't fall asleep.
I opened the shopping panel and thought about the straw sandals on everyone's feet. Shoes cannot appear out of thin air, but grass can. I unexpectedly found cattail, and the price was very cheap, only ten cents for a bundle.
I couldn't help but change my opinion of this stupid system. I guess it gave me special care because they thought I was too pitiful.
I secretly ate two pieces of chocolate, drank a bottle of mineral water, and fell into a deep sleep.
At daybreak, she put down the four bundles of cattails and just as she lay down, Tang's mother woke up.
"Where did you get so much cattails, kid?"
Tang Youyou touched his nose: "It's a bit far, mother, please make me a pair quickly, my feet hurt so much!"
Tang's mother rarely saw her acting so coquettishly, so she took the cattail and started weaving it for her. Her fingers flew, and in just a cup of tea, she had finished weaving a pair of straw sandals.
"Hey, try it on to see if it fits!"
Tang Youyou took it with a smile: "It fits my feet perfectly when it's knitted by my mother! It's so comfortable!"
Tang's mother couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and lowered her head to prevent her from seeing the expression on her face.
Tang Youyou shook her arm: "Mom, close your eyes."
Tang's mother did not ask the reason. As soon as she closed her eyes, something was stuffed into her mouth. She quickly covered her mouth, fearing that she would scream.
That's brown sugar, something only rich people can afford.
"Mom, don't worry. We will definitely get out of Tushan safely. I promise you!"
Tang's mother was in tears. She held her hand and looked at her intently. Her lips trembled, but she said nothing.
Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Tang's mother knew that she was no longer her daughter?
Tang's mother closed her eyes, then wiped away her tears, her eyes clear and bright: "My child, I've suffered so much for you."
Then he picked up the cattail grass next to him and started weaving.
Tang Youyou sat aside, feeling a little helpless. She didn't know how to persuade him and was very nervous inside.
After a while, everyone woke up one after another, and they were surprised to see so many cattails.
"Youyou, why don't you sleep a little longer? Where did you get so much cattail?"
"Now we don't have to go barefoot anymore. This cattail is soft and durable!"
"There are so many cattails, enough for each of the thirty of us to have two pairs."
Everyone started to weave straw sandals and was very happy.
Half an hour later, everyone started on their way again, moving much faster, but they were unaware that danger was approaching.
"Whoosh!" A flare shot straight into the sky!
Everyone was startled and quickly jumped up the trees.
"It's in the direction of the rubble pile!"
Tang Youyou ordered: "Distribute food and weapons to everyone!"
She opened the blueprint and examined it. After a moment, she came to the conclusion: "We must run today and climb over the five-sided slope. There's a cliff behind us. As long as we can climb up, we'll be safe!"
When everyone heard the cliff, their legs couldn't stop shaking.
"No time, run!"
In an instant, the only sound that could be heard was the "thump thump thump" of footsteps.
At the same time, Xue Er, the leader of Longhu Mountain, listened to his subordinates' reports, tapping the table with his fingers and frowning slightly.
"Which direction?"
"Return to the boss, it's in the direction of the pile of rocks!"
Xue Er jumped up and kicked his subordinate. "When did this happen? Why are you reporting it now?"
I was extremely anxious. There was a small path among the rocks leading to a straight cliff. Legend has it that there was a treasure nearby, but it was guarded by a giant python. Anyone who went there was almost certain death. No one had succeeded in getting it over the years.
"Boss, you were taking a nap at that time and I didn't dare to disturb you, so..." Liuzi looked innocent.
"Useless! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take people to investigate!"
"Yes!" Liuzi crawled out, cursing inwardly that he was so unlucky.
Then he took ten people to investigate.
"Sixth Brother, what's so good about defending that pile of rocks? It's just a bunch of broken rocks!"
"Who knows? The boss has been quite angry lately, so don't get close to him!"
"Alas! I'm so angry, I still need to find a young lady to vent my anger, don't you agree? Hahaha..."
"You're such a scoundrel! Sixth brother, to be honest, if you hadn't asked us to come, we wouldn't want to go to that rocky ravine. Not only is it far, but the road is also incredibly difficult to walk on!"
"That's right, it's damn hot and it's not raining!"
"Hey! Stop talking. I'll treat you guys to a drink when we get back. Did you bring the firecrackers you were told to bring?"
"I brought three, don't worry!"
