The uncle comforted Chaoge and the others with a few words, and then asked everyone to continue on their journey.
"Wait here, I'll get the hidden wild fruits."
Chaoge gave instructions to her siblings and immediately walked back, only stopping when she reached the weeds beside the path leading up the mountain beside the official road.
Although the weeds were dry, they were still in large patches and as tall as a person, enough to provide cover for her to take things out.
The wild fruits are all in the space, and Chaoge is just looking for a reason to take them out.
For the sake of their health, Chaoge also used his mind to find some bird eggs in space.
I don’t know if the bird eggs were laid by the big birds before. They are bigger than pigeon eggs but smaller than chicken eggs.
There are more than a dozen of them, enough to provide some protein to their bodies.
The big bird Chaoge also wanted to catch one to eat, but he was afraid that holding the bird with gorgeous feathers in front of so many refugees would bring him into trouble again.
Especially the bird, it actually has some shadow of the phoenix.
This was in ancient times. If the sour grapes refugees used this as an excuse to make a fuss, she would be in trouble again.
She wanted to get some water, but she didn't have anything to hold water, so she had to give up.
At least the moisture in the wild fruits can quench your thirst temporarily.
When Chaoge returned to the siblings, he had already taken off his outer coat, and the clothes he was wearing were only a middle coat and a vest.
Looking at the big package that Chaoge wrapped in her coat, the three siblings' eyes widened!
Leng Liecheng, who had just recovered some of his energy, hurried forward. His dark eyes kept looking around with caution, in case any refugees with bad intentions suddenly appeared and snatched the wild fruits that Chaoge had found with great difficulty.
"Why is there so much? It's enough for us to eat for at least two or three days!"
Leng Furong pulled Leng Xiaoran and hurried over. She lowered her voice and looked at the pile of fruits that Chaoge was holding in his arms with great joy.
“My trip up the mountain was not in vain. Although it was a bit thrilling, I finally gained something.
One fruit is definitely not enough, each of you can eat another one.
Rest at night and I'll give you some roasted pheasant eggs."
After saying that, Chaoge winked at them, indicating that there were not only wild fruits but also pheasant eggs in her arms.
She wanted to say it was a bird's egg, but the egg was so big that she was afraid her siblings wouldn't believe her, so she just said it was a pheasant egg.
Anyway, there must be pheasants in the mountains, even though she didn't see any.
Upon hearing that there were pheasant eggs, Leng Furong was so surprised that she couldn't help swallowing her saliva several times.
She used to live a life of luxury, but after three days of starvation she discovered that even a few leaves and weeds were sweet and delicious, not to mention Chaoge had found pheasant eggs! ?
Leng Xiaoran's eyes were curved into crescents with joy, as if he was afraid that he would scream out loud because of his joy. He immediately reached out and covered his little mouth with his hand.
Even Leng Liecheng, who had been quiet all this time, had a hint of surprise and joy in his eyes.
“Little pigeon, you are amazing. You have been gone for such a long time and we have been waiting here.
But the longer we waited, the more scared we became, and the more anxious we became. We thought you had abandoned us and would never come back.
I......"
After the excitement, Leng Furong was about to cry again when she thought of the inner torment she had endured during the hours when Chaoge was away.
Looking at the three siblings who regarded him as their backbone, Chaoge sighed silently, not knowing what to say.
If the three siblings knew that the real Chaoge was dead, they would probably be as sad as if their parents had died, right?
"Good boy, stop crying.
We are already short of water, and you've shed enough tears today.
No matter what, I will do my best to get you to the young lady safely, so I want to put aside those thoughts of yours, which you shouldn’t have at all.
And Furong, you are the oldest among the three of you, and you are the sister. What if I don’t come back?
Liecheng is so weak because of the cold, and the third child is still so young. As the elder sister, can you be strong and brave?
This is not the past anymore. We have not only become refugees, but also sinners. You need to be brave and strong, but also stay calm and think when encountering problems.
What if I don’t come back? You can’t keep waiting, can you?
I tell you, it's time for you to grow up. Whether you go to your eldest sister's place or have your own life in the future, you should be strong. You are no longer young masters and young ladies.
In a situation like this, you should make use of all the available people around you. No matter you pretend to be pitiful or try to be more vicious than those bad guys, you have only one goal, which is to live bravely.
Do you understand?
Tears are the most useless things. The weaker you are, the more they will bully you.
Now everyone is only concerned about their own lives, and all you have to do is rely on yourself and be strong.
Do you understand?
I will only send you to Xilin County. What will happen to you when I am not around in the future?
What if your older sister is in trouble too? So, it’s time to grow up.”
Okay, hurry up and eat while walking, otherwise the uncle and the others will go far away. "
Originally, she just wanted to hug Chaoge and cry to him, but Leng Furong didn't expect Chaoge to say so much.
I felt quite aggrieved at first, but the more I listened, the more incompetent I felt.
Indeed, they are no longer young ladies and young masters, they are just sinners and fugitives, and they have to rely on themselves for everything in the future.
