Qinling and the others decided to rest in the alley for the night and set off again early the next morning.
Liu Zheng took out some pancakes and handed them to Qin Luo and Qin Yunyang.
"It's hard to gather firewood here, so let's eat this for today and make some hot food tomorrow!"
Qin Luo took a bite of the pancake; it was really hard! But she still spoke to Liu Zheng.
"It's alright, Auntie. It's hot outside, something cold will make you feel better!"
Then Wu Hua brought out some canned meat, which was shared with the elders and brothers.
After everyone finished eating, the Cloth Bag Squad collected all the tin cans of meat and gave them to Qin Luo.
Just as Qin Luo finished putting it away, he saw Liu Zheng take out a money bag and pull Qin Liang to Jingming's place again.
Qin Liang handed the money bag to the temple keeper.
"Please accept this. This is what my wife promised when she made a vow that she would donate money for incense oil once Luoluo recovered!"
Then, in a sorrowful tone
"But now that Fuhua Temple has been burned down, we can only make offerings here to the masters. Moreover, the temple will need these offerings for its reconstruction in the future. We can only do our bit, and we hope that you will not find them too much!"
The monk and the old man bowed deeply to Qin Liang and his wife, chanting Buddhist prayers.
"Amitabha! These two benefactors are truly virtuous!"
After returning the greetings, Qin Liang and his wife left.
Jingming watched as the temple keeper opened his money pouch, took out the one-hundred-tael silver note, and asked, puzzled.
"Grandpa Temple Keeper, they're not having an easy time right now. They have so many children to raise, and that female benefactor isn't even their biological daughter. Why are they still donating so much money?"
He glanced at the flatbread beside him.
"They even gave us water and food? Shouldn't people be selfish during times of famine?"
The temple keeper reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
“Jingming! You are still young. There are many people and many things you haven’t seen yet. Everything in the world has different appearances. There is good as well as bad, evil as well as good!”
He patted him on the shoulder as he spoke.
"As you gain more experience, you'll understand that even when the sky is covered in dark clouds, there will eventually be a ray of light that pierces through them!"
The temple keeper turned to look in Qin Luo's direction.
"If this couple is willing to make sacrifices for that girl today, who knows, maybe one day that girl will break through the dark clouds that are hanging over them for their sake!"
Jingming seemed to understand something and bowed to the temple keeper.
"Many thanks to the temple keeper for helping Jingming attain enlightenment!"
Jingming was still trying to decipher the mysteries of the temple keeper's words.
Qin Luo, leading the women of the Qin family, scaled the wall of someone's courtyard...
Tao Zhi leaped up and vaulted into an empty courtyard.
It's obvious the residents left a long time ago; everything is covered in dust.
She moved a wooden ladder out of the storeroom.
He climbed up the wall again and threw the wooden ladder over, so that Liu Zheng and the others could climb over one by one.
Qin Luo told Liu Zheng and the others that there was water available for them to bathe today.
Without asking any questions, the group immediately followed.
What could be more tempting than taking a bath during a drought?
Qin Luo had already run into the house when they climbed over the wall.
Five large plastic buckets were brought out, filled with water collected during the apocalypse.
These buckets are so big and deep that they can easily hold a whole person.
During the days of relocation, Qin Luo would fill his own water buckets every day.
Qin Liang and Qin Xian were responsible for distributing the food to the clansmen and villagers every day.
Although they can't use water as freely as in previous years, they still have enough to drink.
Seeing so much water, Ji He and the others felt it was a waste to each have a bucket soaking in it.
So I decided to fetch water to wash myself, and use the remaining water to wash my child and the old man!
Qin Luo felt it was unnecessary; she had plenty of water in her spatial storage.
The water supply for the six thousand people at the base alone wouldn't last them forever...
But since Ji He and the others insisted, she didn't say anything more.
They weren't worried about catching a cold from washing with cold water in the hot weather, so I gave them a few small basins and went outside to keep watch.
Everyone finished washing in no time, and the water they poured out was black.
Qin Luo didn't make them wash again.
She knew that women of this era would save the best for their husbands and children, so there was no point in saying anything!
After washing up, the group climbed over the wall and went back. Liu Zheng and Luo Luo waited there for the Cloth Bag Team to arrive.
Qin Liang and Qin Ling will come over after they finish washing.
When Qin Yunyuan and his group arrived, Qin Liang and Qin Xian also came along.
Qin Liang looked at Liu Zheng and Qin Luo
"You guys go back first! I'll keep watch over them!"
Liu Zheng nodded and took Qin Luo back.
Qin Luo waited until everyone had finished washing before she went to collect the large buckets and small basins.
It's clear they left some water at the end and cleaned the buckets and basins thoroughly.
Tao Zhi and Liu Zheng accompanied her; they saw Qin Luo come out of the house.
Liu Zheng then took her hand
"Luo Luo, did you run out of water and have nothing to wash with? I wish I hadn't washed with it. It's all my fault for being too excited at the beginning and not thinking about it!"
Qin Luo laughed when he saw Liu Zheng and Tao Zhi's annoyed expressions.
Hand each of them a large tomato
"There's water here. Auntie and my little cousin, please eat your tomatoes here and wait for me!"
Liu Zheng and Tao Zhi nodded, urging her to hurry up and wash. Qin Luo had just entered the space.
Realizing they must also want to wash their hair, I grabbed the shampoo and left the space, just about to call them...
Then Liu Zheng said, "This fruit is such a beautiful color. Luo Luo said it's called a tomato. I want to save it for my husband!"
Tao Zhi smacked his lips
"Then I'll save some for my husband too. No, when my husband eats it, I'll take a bite, and then give Yun Du a bite, hehe~"
Qin Luo felt that Liu Zheng was now diagnosed with severe romantic obsession.
Other people wanted to eat with their children and husbands, but she only thought about giving food to her husband!
