Chapter 55.
But even so, the two old people saw how difficult their life was, but they never gave them even a single bean.
In their words, we have helped them to start a family and fulfilled their responsibilities, and the rest of their lives are up to them.
Jin Qianqian felt that her original self was a little stupid. She gritted her teeth and persevered for so long, but in the end she was the first one in the family to starve to death.
When Gu Dashi saw his son and grandson appear in front of him, he silently counted the number of people and then smiled with relief.
"Have you found water?" Gu Li asked in a hoarse voice, but her eyes were full of anticipation.
Gu Yuanjin raised the bamboo tube in his hand and grinned, "We are quite lucky this time. We found a small ditch. Although there is not much water, it is enough for us to survive for another day or two."
This time, we filled the bamboo tubes in everyone's hands with water. If we use it sparingly, it should be no problem for them to last for two days.
Gu Dashi finally stood up with the help of his youngest son. "That's good. Let's catch up quickly and don't get left behind."
Several village heads had already set a rule that once a water source was found, they had to leave immediately. In addition to preventing conflicts with local people, they also did not want to expose the fact that their team had a water source.
Jin Qianqian pursed her lips as she looked at the tall man walking towards her. As he approached, she could smell the stench of sweat, which made her secretly move half a step to the side.
"Drink some water first!" Gu Yuanyu seemed not to notice her little action and handed the water to her persistently.
Jin Qianqian looked up at the boy with a dark face, but his childish face looked somewhat familiar. Why?
Seeing that she hadn't taken it yet, Gu Yuanyu added nonchalantly, "Although it's ditch water, it's still relatively clean. Why don't you drink a little?"
Jin Qianqian licked her dry lips, and finally gritted her teeth to take his bamboo tube. If she didn't replenish water, she would probably fall down after walking a few steps.
"Jin Qianqian, it's not clean, but you won't get sick if you drink it," seeing that she was still hesitating, a smile flashed in Gu Yuanyu's eyes, and he was certain in his heart.
Jin Qianqian had already made up her mind, but after being reminded by him, all kinds of parasites flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but put her hand down.
"I'm not very thirsty yet. I'll drink later." Jin Qianqian was feeling uneasy now, afraid that the other party would notice something unusual. She didn't dare to ask more questions or look at him more, so naturally she didn't see the smile that flashed in the other party's eyes.
"Hurry up, don't dawdle here." Gu Yuantu saw that Lao Qi and his wife were still standing there, and couldn't help but urge them.
Gu Yuanyu responded, bent down and picked up the bag at Qian Qianqian's feet, "Let's go! Otherwise, we will be behind."
Jin Qianqian grabbed the bamboo tube in her hand and followed Gu Yuanyu's example by fastening the rope around her waist. She watched the sisters-in-law in front of her tie the packages on their shoulders and started to move as well. "If we keep walking aimlessly like this, when will it end?"
Gu Yuanyu saw her trying to tie the package on the ground to her body, so he stretched out his hand to take it, "Let me do it!"
"Oh, our seventh brother really loves his wife. He doesn't even want his younger brother and sister-in-law to do such a small thing." Fifth sister-in-law Hong Daya happened to see this scene and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Jin Qianqian, "Fifth sister-in-law, you see Fifth Brother is very good to you. Look at him carrying Xiaoshun on his back. He must be worried about you and the child."
Hong Daya covered her mouth and laughed, "Your fifth brother is afraid that my mother and I will fall behind. If we can't keep up, he will have to stop and wait for us. How can he be caring for us?"
"That's enough. If you have the energy, you might as well take a few more steps and catch up quickly." Sister-in-law Xie Ruyi turned around and shouted, but she did not stop for a moment and followed closely behind her son in front of her.
Hong Daya curled her lips. This sister-in-law has it easy. All the household belongings are carried by her eldest brother and her three sons. Apart from walking, she doesn't have to spend anything at all.
Looking at her little son who was still lying on his biological father, Hong Daya's eyes flashed with envy, but she followed him silently.
Gu Yuanyu watched his family members walking past them one by one, carrying things, and called out to Jin Qianqian to follow.
Jin Qianqian looked at the person in front of her inquiringly, and what he had just said kept turning over in her mind.
"It's not clean, but you won't get sick if you eat it."
This is not something an ancient person could say, and why does the tone of voice sound so familiar?
I was able to be resurrected in this body, so what about my senior? Would he have the same experience?
Sensing the inquiring gaze behind him, Gu Yuanyu's eyes flashed with worry. This girl didn't drink any water just now, and now is not the time to be particular. If she continues like this, her body may not be able to hold on.
Gu Yuanyu turned around and looked at Jin Qianqian worriedly. With his family in front of him on his back, he took out a hard ball of wild vegetables from the cloth bag and said, "Eat this. Now is not the time to be particular."
Jin Qianqian stared at him with wide eyes and said excitedly, "Senior?"
Gu Yuanyu rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Finally you figured it out? I thought you were going to continue to act like a treasure."
Jin Qianqian suddenly grabbed his hand tightly, "Really? Senior is always so impolite when speaking. But what is our situation now?"
"Ahem, ahem," Gu Yuanyu looked around and said seriously, "Be careful of the impact and don't do anything."
Jin Qianqian's cheeks felt a little hot and she quickly loosened her hands. The senior's words made it sound as if she was deliberately trying to take advantage of him.
"It's different here than where we are. If a man and a woman flirt with each other outside, people will gossip about us, even if we are a couple now."
Jin Qianqian didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the senior student emphasized the last three words “couple” particularly.
"Sorry, senior, I will pay attention next time." Jin Qianqian looked like a good kid, "But our current situation is really not good. Do we have to follow the large group to migrate?"
Jin Qianqian looked at the two men's attire with disdain. The dust on their clothes had already clumped together, not to mention the hair on their foreheads. She wondered if there were lice on them.
Gu Yuanyu turned around and said in a voice that the two could hear, "Let's talk while we walk. We have no choice now. If we don't leave, we will die of thirst and hunger. If we follow, we may be able to find a way out. What do you think we should choose?"
Jin Qianqian lowered her head. Although her space contained a large amount of supplies, including a large amount of bottled water, what could she do? Should she stay away from the crowd and hide in the space by herself?
If she had not been sure before that the person in front of her was her senior, perhaps space would have been her last choice.
