Looking at the bamboo tube that Li Sangui handed over, Lin Xue suddenly remembered seeing a video on an exploration program in the previous world that showed how to collect water in the wild.
But it won't work today; we can try it tonight.
At worst, she could get up earlier and put more spiritual spring water into the earthenware jar.
We can't just stand by and watch our whole family die of thirst on the road!
"San Gui, have you heard the village chief and the others mention where we're going to escape the famine?"
Lin Xue's entire family had never traveled far from home. The farthest they had ever been in their lives was the market in the county town.
In addition, since the original owner did not choose to follow the main group, he is now alone and completely clueless when he is out in the dark.
They didn't know where they were going, they had no destination or direction, they were just following the traces left by their predecessors, groping their way forward.
"Mother, the village chief seemed to have mentioned going to Liuzhou before he left, but that's only a temporary destination, and it's uncertain whether it will change later!"
Li Sangui always paid attention to his surroundings, and would lend a helping hand to Lin Xue whenever they passed ditches or bumps.
In fact, Lin Xue only looks like an old lady on the outside. After being nourished by the spiritual spring water, her body is no worse than that of her adopted sons.
"Liuzhou, even if we know the location, what good is it? We don't even have a map, so we still have to follow the trails left by our predecessors!"
Lin Xue shook off Li Sangui's hand that was helping her up and climbed up a small hill on her own.
"Mom, why did we climb up to such a high place?"
Li Sangui followed Lin Xue to this hillside, and as Lin Xue looked around, he took in the view of most of the mountain ahead.
"Hey, there seems to be someone over there!"
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. Following Lin Xue's gaze, Li Sangui immediately saw wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys across the way.
"Can you see how many people there are?"
Lin Xue squinted hard, but still couldn't see very clearly.
It seems the original owner's eyes were damaged from years of hard work.
Although nourished by the spiritual spring water, it only has the effect of strengthening the body and cannot cure all diseases or restore one's eyesight to its original state.
"Some people were obscured by trees and couldn't be seen clearly, but there were forty or fifty people that could be seen!"
"Among them were many elderly people and children; it seems like an entire village had fled to escape the disaster!"
Li Sangui shaded his eyes with his hand, carefully observing the situation on the other side.
"Ang~ Ang~ Ang~"
"Ah~ Ah ah~ Ah ah~"
Just as the two were carefully observing the situation opposite them, a loud braying of a donkey came from above.
"Mother, do you see a wild donkey on that hilltop?"
This time, the distance wasn't far, and Lin Xue could see it very clearly.
What kind of wild donkey is this?
"You idiot, didn't you see that donkey still has a leash?"
Lin Xue couldn't help but give Li Sangui a flick on the forehead, then shoved the cane in her hand into his arms.
"Mother, let me go after them!"
With your short legs, how can you outrun that long-legged donkey?
Although the rest was not said, those who need to understand will understand.
If Lin Xue hadn't been in a hurry to chase after the donkey, she probably would have given her mute son a good beating.
"Mother, wait for me!"
The commotion here also attracted the attention of people on the other side of the mountain.
Those people seemed startled, quickly packed their bags, and then set off on their way.
Lin Xue, who had originally planned to travel together for a while, had no idea that her act of chasing the donkey would scare the people opposite her away.
Lin Xue ran so fast her feet barely touched the ground, while Li Sangui, behind her, exerted all his strength, falling far behind the donkey and the man!
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
"Did my mother learn martial arts?"
Looking at the nimble old lady in front of him, Li Sangui couldn't help but hold his waist and pant.
He really can't keep up, sob sob...
"Ah~ Ah ah~ Ah ah~"
The donkey, which was being led by Lin Xue, was not yet willing to obediently submit.
It stuck out its hoof and tried to kick Lin Xue, but when it realized it couldn't, it started thrashing back and forth.
Unfortunately, Lin Xue kept her distance from it, and the donkey, unable to run away or kick it, was anxiously pacing around in circles.
Finally, he tilted his head back and started yelling strangely, "Ah-ang ah-ang!"
"Here, have some water~"
Hearing the donkey's hoarse braying, Lin Xue scooped out a ladle of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and shoved it into the donkey's mouth.
"Ah-ah~ Ah-ah~ Hiccup!"
"Smack~ Smack~"
The stubborn donkey went from being heartbroken to being docile and obedient in just one scoop of water.
When Li Sangui finally caught up, he found that the donkey had lost its previous wildness.
He was following right behind Lin Xue, bouncing back home.
The old lady didn't even have a leash; she just swung her arms around and occasionally picked a wild vegetable or two from the ground around her.
Sometimes, the wild donkey would take advantage of Lin Xue's unpreparedness and use its nimble donkey lips to snatch the wild vegetables from her hand.
Lin Xue wasn't angry at the mischievous donkey and let it steal food.
This donkey will be Lin Xue's mode of transportation from now on.
Even if you don't sit on it yourself, letting the two kids sit on it can save adults a lot of effort.
As for food, Lin Xue is no longer too worried about it.
Because while she was chasing the donkey, she caught several glimpses of pheasants and rabbits on the hillside.
As long as there is prey, they will not starve.
