Chapter 47 Let's have fun in the midst of adversity

Seeing that Grandpa Su and his grandson were leaving,

Li Zhi moved his lips: "I'll take you there."

"It's too dangerous to let you go by yourself."

An old man with a young girl, if they are caught, they may not be able to come back.

"Brother Gan, please help me take care of my mother. I will go to find you after I settle Grandpa Su and Nanxing."

Gan Fanren grabbed Li Zhi's shoulders: "Tongmen Pass and other counties are not open yet. I don't know when we can leave. It's better to go together, so that we can take care of each other."

Gan Fanren was just telling a fact, but Li Zhi mistakenly thought that Gan Fanren was worried about him, and his eyes turned red.

For him, the eldest brother dragged his family through mountains and rivers.

Li Zhi is just a poor boy who grew up in the village. How could he deserve such attention from his elder brother?

I don't know how long this tunnel is, but judging from the distance of several counties, it will take several days to walk.

In addition to preparing the luggage, Gan Fanren also borrowed the pot of the inn to fry some rice noodles, so that if he couldn't light a fire, he wouldn't starve to death.

With money in hand, Gan Tian didn't hesitate to open a dried fruit area, a drink area, and a seasoning area.

When Hui Niang was frying noodles, walnut kernels, grapes, sesame seeds, white sugar... fell down with a crackling sound, as if they were free.

Hui Niang didn't understand how to use them at first, but when Gan Tian said to fry them together with the noodles, she understood the use of them. She had fried noodles dry before and never thought of adding these things.

She hurriedly fried some, then rinsed it with water and tasted it. It was so fragrant and sweet.

It was so delicious!

She was so excited that she fried half a bag of noodles.

She also fried the rice with sweet seasonings until it was crispy and fragrant. It could be eaten as a snack.

She couldn't help but eat a handful.

Hui Niang simply found a small bag and gave one to everyone.

"If you are bored on the road, just eat it as a snack."

Even Gongsun Yue and Su Baishou got their own share.

Su Baishou felt that he was an old man and didn't need this kind of food for children. He wanted to take a bite and pretend that he didn't like it and share it with the children.

But he didn't expect that he would be completely conquered after just one bite.

Is this the dry fried rice from the past?

It's so delicious!

Everyone has this stuff, so it's okay for him to keep a portion, right?

Su Baishou thought, silently putting the cloth bag Hui Niang gave him into his arms.

[Hehe, just eat it, one by one, without making a sound! ]

[This is the product of modern technology, the infinite charm of seasonings! ]

Hui Niang was preparing fast food, and Su Nanxing was not idle either. She prepared cold tea for everyone.

A big pot for each person.

Even Gan Tian's baby bottle had cold tea.

"Tian'er's cold tea is specially prepared by me. The formula and ingredients are very suitable for children. The weather is hot and humid now, and the tunnel must be extremely humid. Tian'er should also drink some to dispel the evil spirits."

Gan Tian took a sip quietly.

[Hmm, it tastes so good! 】

It is not as bitter as imagined, but has a fresh floral scent. Although there is no sugar, it is not unpalatable at all.

She is sweet!

Finally, I can drink something other than milk!

And the doctor allows me to drink

it! After preparing food and drink, they set off.

Su Baishou led the way in front, followed by Gan Fanren, the women and children walked in the middle, and Li Zhigongsun Yue followed behind.

Although Gongsun Yue is a scholar, his physical strength is unexpectedly good, and he walks very fast.

They were tense all the way.

The tunnel is wide, and there are night pearls inlaid on both sides, emitting a faint light on both sides of the cave wall.

Although I don’t know who built this tunnel, it is a big deal.

The tunnels were interconnected, and if Su Baishou hadn't known the way, it would have been easy for an ordinary person to get lost in them.

After walking for about two hours, everyone was a little hungry, so they stopped to get some supplies.

Gan Fanren lit a small torch, watched the flames on the torches jump and flash in one direction, and said, "This tunnel is wide, and there's no sense of suffocation. I think we can start a fire."

Gan Fanren and his men set up a pot, filled it with firewood, and boiled water.

As soon as the water was boiled, some was poured out to cool it down, and then used to make milk for Gan Tian.

After two hours, she finally drank milk. Gan Tian sucked the bottle in big gulps, and soon drank up all the milk in the bottle.

She burped with satisfaction.

Gan Tian drank her fill, but she didn't forget about others. She used the same trick again and moved food into Gan Fanren's arms.

Various vegetables and meat filled Gan Fanren's arms. Everyone looked at Gan Fanren with shock as he took out one item after another from his arms.

"Brother, how can your clothes hold so many things?"

Li Zhi circled Gan Fanren several times.

"My goodness, when I was walking with you, I didn't realize that you had so many things in your clothes!"

Gongsun Yue just waved his fan lightly and looked at Gan Fanren with a thoughtful look.

He didn't say anything, but Gan Fanren always had a feeling of being seen through.

He hated playing with smart people who had brains the most, because that always made him feel passive.

Gan Fanren smiled awkwardly: "Maybe it's because I'm thinner, so I have to put more inside my clothes."

Gan Fanren's words were quickly accepted by everyone, and no one doubted that these things appeared out of thin air.

[It's so cold on the mountain, let's have a hot pot.]

Gan Tian giggled.

[Dad is so smart that he must understand how to use hot pot base and dipping sauce.]

You really think highly of him.

Gan Fanren thought, and ran to the side with the hot pot base and dipping sauce to study.

With the help of the faint firelight, he roughly understood.

First pour the hot pot base into the pot, wait until the pot boils, pour the ingredients in, and when they are cooked, dip them in the dipping sauce and you can eat them.

"Hmm."

"This is delicious."

Li Zhi took a bite and was captured by the taste of the hot pot.

Hui Niang: "My husband is amazing, I have never eaten such delicious things."

Su Baishou: "This is the first time for me to eat it."

Su Nanxing: "It's so delicious, Nanxing wants to eat it again in the future."

Gan Huaibi didn't say a word, just ate it, because he ate too quickly, he burned his tongue.

Su Baishou had to put down his bowl and chopsticks and sprinkled some medicine powder on him.

Gongsun Yue had a youthful smile on his face, and he picked up his chopsticks quickly and accurately. No one could get the food he liked.

Not even Gan Fanren!

Gan Fanren: "..."

Plus one more thing, he hated eating with people who were quick with their hands.

The tunnel was really long, and they had been walking for several days without getting out. During this time, they met many grain merchants, and their carts were full of grain.

Although one county was rescued, the other nine counties in Tongmen Pass were still in hell.

Looking at the carts and horses carrying grain, Gongsun Yue clenched the fan in his hand.

These nine counties are just a microcosm of many counties. They will not be the first, nor the last.

He sighed, "I only regret that Yue is incompetent and cannot save the people of the world from the dire situation."
