Chapter 78 Doctor Li joins the team
Gu Yun looked at Wang and suggested, "Mom, it would be better for us to go to the left..."
When Wang heard that her son had just become the captain, she began to follow her and immediately looked at Gu Yun aggrievedly: "Yun'er, you don't listen to your mother? The right road is obviously wider, why do you have to take the small road on the left?"
Seeing that the mother and son had a disagreement, the villagers nearby became anxious and urged them impatiently.
"Gu Yun, aren't you a scholar? Which way is better? Why are you struggling with this for so long?"
"That's right! But I agree with Wang. The right side does look much easier to walk on."
Hearing this, Gu Yun explained to the villagers: "The left side is about seven days farther from the next city than the right side, but..."
Before Gu Yun could finish, Li Mazi took the lead and said, "Are you still agonizing over this? You must have taken a shortcut! If you walk seven days less, you can save seven days of food."
Shen Ercheng: "Yes, we don't have much food now, why should we go far away?"
Old Mrs. Xu: "We in the Xu family are out of food! This is the 20 kilograms of food that the clan has allocated to our Xu family. We have to wait anxiously to go to the city to buy some food to fill it up. If we have to walk for another seven days, our Xu family will have to survive."
Seeing that everyone wanted to go to the right, Gu Yun had no choice but to say loudly: "Everyone be quiet, we will go to the right road now, and the people behind us will follow in line."
"Wait for me!" Doctor Li walked quickly for nearly half an hour and finally saw the head of the village and his group in front of him. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
When Xu Zhiyi heard the shouting, everyone stopped and put their hands on their foreheads to block the sun while looking over.
"Doctor Li?"
When everyone saw that it was Doctor Li who caught up with them, they were very surprised!
Doctor Li ran to the front of the team in one breath, took off his backpack, threw the big bag in his hand away, sat on the ground tired, then picked up the water bag and gulped down a lot of water.
The village head looked at Doctor Li and asked, "Doctor Li, what are you doing?"
Doctor Li recovered and shrugged: "Isn't this obvious enough? I'm with you all."
Then he sighed: "Alas, they are just a bunch of overconfident and arrogant fools. I am afraid that I will become a fool like them. I am a doctor, and my brain is precious."
"Haha!" Wang Xiaohe couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard Doctor Li's description of those villagers.
"What? Little girl, am I wrong?"
Wang Xiaohe heard this and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Grandpa Li, you are absolutely right!"
"That's it." Doctor Li raised his face proudly. Seeing that he had almost recovered, he quickly put on the backpack and picked up his big bag.
"Hey, Lin San, let's hurry up! I'm recovered!"
The head of the village looked at the big bag in his hand, patted the empty space on the cart and said, "There is still room on my cart, put your big bag on it!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Li did not hesitate to put the bag in his hand on the cart carried by the village chief. It was indeed much easier for him to carry only the backpack.
With the addition of Dr. Li, everyone was chatting and laughing along the way.
Xu Zhiyi was very surprised when she saw the huge contrast between Doctor Li and her father. From the time she fled from famine to now, in her impression, Doctor Li was always a taciturn old grandfather. When he examined patients, he would just talk about their condition and would not say any more nonsense.
But now, among so many people, he was the only one who couldn't stop talking.
If Doctor Li knew what Xu Zhiyi was thinking, he would definitely explain it. How could he be silent? He didn't want to talk to those idiots, or they would affect him.
As good as the atmosphere here is, as bad it is on the other side.
The team led by Gu Yun had only walked for less than an hour when many families started clamoring to rest for a while because their children were tired.
Gu Yun looked at the villagers who ignored his opinion and said they wanted to rest. They had only been walking for an hour and they had to rest. How could they walk to the next city?
"Can everyone bear with it for another hour? We have only traveled for an hour today..."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Xu slapped her thigh and interrupted Gu Yun: "Walk for another hour? We adults can just endure it, but how can a child endure it? Look, pitiful, my precious grandson's feet are about to rot!"
What Old Mrs. Xu said really touched the hearts of the villagers who also have children!
"That's right, my child can't walk anymore!"
"We only need to rest for half an hour. It won't take long. Can't we just walk faster later?"
Wang looked at the villagers who were complaining, looked at Gu Yun with some embarrassment, and advised: "Son! They only rested for half an hour, it will be over soon..."
Gu Yun felt a little upset after hearing this, so he just walked away and ignored it!
When the villagers saw that Gu Yun had compromised, they all felt extremely relieved and thought that they could make the decision on the next journey.
It’s nothing like when the village head led the team. There was no room for negotiation and he just let us go without waiting. He was so unsympathetic!
Hey, it turns out that a scholar is different, much easier to talk to! It seems that they made the right decision to let Gu Yun be the captain.
As for Xu Zhiyi, he traveled for three hours before stopping.
The village head looked around the forest and suggested, "Let's rest here tonight! This forest is too big, so let's stay close together at night and light a pile of firewood nearby. This way, if there are wolves or something, they won't dare to get close for a while."
Xu Zhiyi thought it made sense when he heard it, and nodded in agreement.
After Su saw the cart parked, he quickly took out the cooking pot.
"Mom, let's eat the horse meat we got first! Let's roast it."
When Su heard what Xu Zhiyi said, she nodded and said, "Okay, then mother will cook some soup in the pot."
Xu Zhiyi cut a large piece of horse meat, washed it with water, took out some salt, rubbed some on it directly, and then skewered it with a sharpened stick, five large skewers, each weighing one pound.
Then I remembered, I wonder if there is cumin in the space? If there is, it will be much more fragrant when roasted!
Thinking of this, she immediately ran into the woods, and then she was thinking about cumin, but there was none. Then she thought about the wild vegetables she had seen, and whoosh, they appeared in a small patch under her feet.
"Sister Zhiyi, what are you looking for?"
Wang Xiaohe's voice came from behind. Xu Zhiyi bent down and picked some wild vegetables. He raised his hand and said, "Xiaohe, I saw some wild vegetables here. Come here quickly."
Wang Xiaohe heard this and ran over happily. Seeing the tender green wild vegetables growing on the ground, she was very excited: "Wow, Sister Zhiyi, I haven't seen wild vegetables for a long time, especially such tender ones."
Xu Zhiyi tugged at her and gestured, "Let's pick them quickly! Maybe our luck will get better after we leave those troublesome teams behind."
"Sister Zhiyi, you are right. If you leave the unfaithful man and break up with the two biased elders of the Xu family, your luck will definitely get better and better in the future. Maybe it was those bad-hearted people who took away your good luck in the past."
Xu Zhiyi found Wang Xiaohe so adorable when she heard her feeling sorry for her.
