"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone." Zhang Bingliang assured.
Li Rui is also a smart man. He can see that the man in front of him is not as rich as he had imagined before, but probably a more powerful and influential person.
He patted his chest and assured, "I swear to God."
"You don't have to ask that. Just know it in your heart. Once people find out that you have had contact or something, many people will not care whether you just met and don't know the inside story. They will rather kill someone by mistake than let him go." Nan Jingzhi warned again.
These words frightened Zhang Bingliang and Li Rui greatly.
Su Yin said, "Everyone, tell your family members not to go to the riverbed. Tell them that there are many corpses here and there is a virus that can infect people. If someone asks us what we are doing, tell them that we are discussing the subsequent schedule and keep a unified tone."
Then they discussed the situation, and after the discussion, the five of them returned to their respective teams.
As soon as Zhang Bingliang came back, Old Man Zhang immediately pulled his son aside and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
"It's okay, we just want to discuss the next step."
Old man Zhang was confused, but when he saw that his son didn't explain clearly, he understood that some things could not be said, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"I'm glad you're okay." Old man Zhang said with a smile.
As soon as Li Rui returned to the camp, he encountered the same situation as Zhang Bingliang and was pulled over by his father for questioning.
Old man Li asked hurriedly, "What happened to them?"
Li Rui and his brothers also pricked up their ears and listened, very curious.
Li Rui smiled and said, "Nothing, just discussing the subsequent schedule."
"Then what arrangements have been made?"
"The situation along the way has not been good. They decided to speed up their pace and leave Nanshan County as quickly as possible and enter Linzhou as soon as possible."
"Oh, right. Someone was moving rocks and saw a lot of corpses on the riverbed. The corpses were starting to rot. It's best not to go over there. It's easy to get sick. If you get sick at this time, there's no medicine to cure it, and you can only wait to die."
Old man Li nodded and said, "Go and tell the uncles and aunts, especially the children, to stop running around over there."
"Yeah." Li Rui stood up to notify.
When Su Yin came back, her mother had already built the stove with the help of her second cousin Yang Hua and started cooking.
Su Baozhu came back with firewood, looked at the millet rice and a small piece of dried meat in the pot, and licked her lips.
She turned her head to look at Su Yin, "Yin Yin, I haven't eaten the food you cooked for a long time."
Since entering Nanshan County, Su Yin has never been the chef. The reason is that there are people freezing to death on the road. When many people are hungry, if you cook a lot of delicious food, that is the source of sin.
When the famine was first beginning, those who fled had families, food and belongings, so they were not afraid of being robbed without regard for others. But this is no longer the case.
"When we settle down in the south, I will make delicious food for you every day."
Not to mention the younger sister-in-law is greedy, she herself is also very greedy.
I've been eating bland soup and food with little oiliness lately, and my mouth is already dry.
Su Yin told them about their discussion on how to speed up the progress.
Mother Su nodded, "Okay, I'll make some dry noodles later so we can eat them while we're on the road."
The pancakes I baked earlier were eaten two days ago.
Su Baozhu went to the car to get flour, and looked at the flour that was almost empty. "Third sister-in-law, there is not much flour left."
Mother Su took the cloth bag of flour and said, "It's a lot. We can make a lot of pancakes."
Su Yin helped to knead the dough. The dough pieces pinched by Su's mother were smaller than before, and the pancakes she baked were about the same size as before, but thinner.
Master Wan San took a freshly baked pancake and said, "It would be nice if there were some side dishes."
As he said this, his eyes unconsciously looked at the bag of dried meat.
"Not much left." Su Baozhu held her pockets tightly. The road ahead was still long, so she had to be frugal.
"Little girl, you are so narrow-minded." Master Wan San said angrily.
Su Baozhu turned around and faced away from him.
Seeing Master Wan San extending his hand again, Su's mother couldn't help but say, "Master Fatty, you have to save some money."
Master Wan San withdrew his hand pitifully.
Since entering Nanshan County, not only has the food quality declined, but the quantity has also decreased.
So miserable!
In Lijia Village, Li Si and his wife found some firewood from the forest before it got dark. Suddenly, Yunniang felt a cramp in her abdomen and bent over in pain.
"Yun Niang, what's wrong with you?"
Li Si quickly put down the firewood in his hand.
"I have a stomach ache."
Li Si was so frightened that her face turned pale due to the pain, so he quickly helped her to the side.
Li Erbo's mother saw this and was about to say something, but when she noticed her daughter-in-law's pale face, she changed her words and said, "What's wrong?"
"Mom, I don't know either. Yunniang suddenly felt severe pain." Li Si was anxious.
Li Rui heard the noise and came over to ask about the situation. He said, "Su Yin has a doctor. Let the doctor come and take a look."
Seeing that Li Si was still standing there in a daze, Li Erbo's mother urged him, "What are you standing there for? Go quickly."
"Oh." Li Si quickly stood up.
Li Si went straight to Su Yin and explained the situation. Su Yin put down what she was holding and took him to find Doctor Li.
When Doctor Li learned that someone was unwell, he stopped working and immediately left with Li Si.
As soon as Doctor Li arrived at the Li family camp, everyone made way for him.
When Yunniang saw the doctor coming, she hesitated and said, "Mom, I just need to rest for a while. There's no need to see a doctor."
Doctor Li looked at her complexion and it didn't look like she would get better just by resting.
Li Er's mother said, "Don't let your imagination run wild."
Doctor Li received the signal and began to take Yunniang's pulse.
After a while, Doctor Li put down his hand and said to the Li family, "Congratulations first, your daughter-in-law is pregnant."
When they suddenly heard that it was a happy event, the Li family was stunned at first, and then their faces were filled with joy.
Doctor Li's next step made everyone's heart rise high, "But this pregnancy is not stable. The pregnant woman is weak and overworked, and there are signs of miscarriage."
This is normal. After all, when fleeing from famine, people don't eat well, don't sleep well, and walk around every day. It's easy for a normal adult to feel weak, let alone a pregnant woman.
"What should I do?"
"I will try my best to protect her pregnancy. But in the first three months, pregnant women need to rest well. After three months, the pregnancy will be stable and things will get better."
"Thank you, doctor."
Li Si wanted to give him money, but Doctor Li refused, "I don't need the consultation fee. Can you give me some water?"
Doctor Li heard that the people in Lijia Village were not short of water and had more stored water than Su Yin and his friends.
What our family lacks most now is water.
Although the Li family knew that water was expensive, they were still very happy that they didn't have to pay for it.
Li Si quickly gave a bamboo tube of water, and Doctor Li happily took it.
This is more joyful than getting a few taels of silver.
