After Xia Manni made such a fuss, the people around her stopped looking at her.
Xia Manni knew that as long as she could get through the first two days, nothing would happen here.
After all, there are new people coming here all the time, and it won't be long before she is no longer news.
"Big boy, second boy, third boy, fourth girl, come and have dinner."
After the farce just now, the children have a deeper understanding of fleeing famine.
Even when eating, Erwa and Tudou were alert to their surroundings.
Seeing the nervousness of the children, Xia Manni did not stop them.
After all, this is the environment. There must be good people here, but they are all people who are running for their lives. If they close their eyes in a hurry, who knows what will happen.
Although the lunch was not peaceful, the children were all satisfied.
Especially Erwa, he found that his mother no longer stopped him from eating.
"Erwa, eat as much as you can."
Even though they were sleeping in the open, only Erwa ate with relish.
If a half-grown child doesn't have enough to eat on the road, he will be in trouble even if he doesn't encounter any bad people.
And of course there were potatoes, she found that potatoes were really loyal and would immediately call out if they sensed someone with bad intentions.
After finishing the meal, some people chose to rest where they were.
After all, the sun outside is too strong, and the ground is about to smoke.
Even the leaves on the mountain were a little wilted.
But Xia Manni did not rest. She always felt that the weather today was worse than yesterday.
Just now she took a quick look at the mountain and found that the vegetation here was denser than that on the mountain in Shizai Village.
Not knowing what would happen next, she decided to pick all the wild vegetables and fruits she could.
After all, those that were dried at home can still be kept for a while.
Xia Manni planned to pick them as she walked.
In the early stages of her escape from famine, she planned to walk around the mountains.
It was obvious that the group of people she met today had similar ideas to hers.
It’s just that they are all organized and disciplined teams, and there are not many people like her who travel alone with their children.
"Come on, who's watching over here? The rest of you, let's go up the mountain with mom to see if there's anything to eat."
"Mom, you and Si Ni'er stay here, the three of us will go."
"Brother, I want to go too."
Xia Manni: ...
In the end, Xia Manni was left alone to look after the household belongings while her four children went up the mountain.
Since she had nothing to do, Xia Manni picked up all the hay around her.
These hays can not only be used to make ropes, but also to make baskets.
She didn't have such skillful hands, but she could pack it up and give it to Si Ni'er.
It is just right to use as a toy to kill time when sitting in the car.
Most of the people around were resting, but a few of them, like Xia Manni, went up the mountain to pick things.
They were all curious about how this family could be so energetic.
I guess this won't be the case in a few days.
There is another mountain after this one, why are you in such a hurry to pick it now?
Xia Manni ignored the others and waited until the sun finally went down a little.
The four children ran back.
They found quite a lot.
It is early summer now, but the climate is indeed hotter than midsummer.
There weren't many kinds of wild vegetables, but they still found several bundles.
Wild fruits are small sour fruits that have not yet fully opened. When you are thirsty on the road, eating one of them can quench your thirst.
Xia Manni found a cloth bag to put the wild vegetables and fruits in, and then poured the boiled water into the water bag.
The eldest boy put on hats for his younger brothers and sisters, and the family set off again.
At this time, most of the people who were resting at the foot of the mountain had already left.
On the road behind, there were five members of the Xia family and a dog from their other family. No one spoke along the way.
Because it's really too hot.
At the beginning, Potato always followed Erwa, but later Xia Manni found that it actually ran under the cart.
"Hey, Potato, you know how to find a place."
Potato's behavior made the Xia family very amused.
But their laughter was very short-lived.
Because my throat is about to smoke.
They brought five water bags in total and drank them all.
The sun showed no sign of setting.
Not only the Xia family, but all the people who fled the famine felt dry mouth and tongue.
Drinking more water won't help.
Even though there were trees providing shade along the way, it couldn't reduce the temperature in the slightest.
Xia Manni felt that the drought should be more serious.
I don’t know what’s happening with Shizai Village.
At this time, in Shizai Village, since the news from the village chief was known, the village was divided into two factions.
One group is fleeing famine and has decided to set off tomorrow.
One is the stay-behind group, who decided to defend Shizai Village even if it meant death.
"Oh no! Oh no! There's no water coming out of the well."
…
Xia Manni was not aware of the situation in the village. She gave each child a potato and a wild fruit.
Xia Manni never put her mouth down while eating.
It’s really too sour!
Xia Manni didn’t want to eat it anymore because of the sourness, but fortunately the feeling of dry mouth was relieved a lot.
At this time, people walking near the Xia family finally realized the importance of going up the mountain to find things.
"Miss, how about I go get some for you?"
"Yes, miss, it will probably take a while to walk if we encounter a mountain again."
The young lady nearby also saw the Xia family eating wild fruits. All their money was left on the carriage, and all they had on them was the silver in the bag and some food.
