She woke up to the rustling sounds in the cave and saw the rising sun at a glance. She was still in Chu San's muscular arms.
She couldn't help but turn her head, glanced at Chu San, and reached out to pinch his chest muscles.
Chu San opened his eyes and looked at her hazily: "Madam, have you thought about it?"
Zhou Jiaojiao was so embarrassed that her toes curled up.
Now she wanted to call the other person a fool.
"No, I just called you to get up." Zhou Jiaojiao would not admit it.
"Oh." Chu San got up obediently and said, "I didn't sleep in. I just wanted to sleep with you."
"Yeah, I got it. Let's pack our luggage first."
"I'll come, my lady, sit down, sit down."
Zhou Jiaojiao didn't force it.
Last night, Chu San helped her grind the pregnancy-preserving medicine that Chu's mother had exchanged from Doctor Lin into powder. She took advantage of this opportunity to make it into pills and took one of the pregnancy-preserving pills at the same time.
"Aunt San, cakes, cakes." Chu Xiaohua came over with her short legs and brought breakfast to Zhou Jiaojiao.
"Thank you, Xiaohua." Zhou Jiaojiao felt that the little girl was so well-behaved. She was only three years old, but she could help with the housework. She couldn't help but rub her cheek lovingly with her hand.
"You're welcome, Auntie San. The cakes are delicious."
Chu Xiaohua is young and looks frail, but Zhou Jiaojiao took her pulse and found that the situation was not too bad, so she felt relieved.
"As long as you like it."
When Zhou Jiaojiao turned around, she saw Chu Dahua, a six-year-old child, helping adults with things. She felt even more that children from poor families have to grow up early these days.
The Chu family.
Everyone did their own thing, and after they had breakfast and packed their luggage, the villagers in other caves started to get up.
I have to say, there is a huge gap.
Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu San sat together at the entrance of the cave eating naan.
Chu's mother took Big Brother Chu and the others to filter and collect water using the bamboo tube filter that Chu Jiaojiao had made. After all, they couldn't give up several buckets of water, as they were life-saving.
Zhou Jiaojiao was eating breakfast when she accidentally saw something exciting happening.
"I say, third sister-in-law, are you and Xiaochuan having an affair?" Zhou Yunli caught Chen Lin and her son Zhao Xiaochuan to make trouble.
Shen Lin’s cheeks flushed with anger: “Sister-in-law, what did you say? Do you have any evidence that you saw me cheating? Don’t wrongly accuse a good person.”
"If you didn't cheat, why hasn't Zhao Xiaochuan's stomach growled in a long time?" Zhou Yunli's reason was a bit unreasonable.
But it just happened to tell the truth.
"Sister-in-law, how dare you say that? All the food in our house has been taken away by your first and second wives. Xiaochuan and I only have very little food left, but don't forget, my man is still on the battlefield, and we have to go to him now!"
"Three months ago, Changliu sent back a letter saying that he had become a captain of a thousand men. If anything happens to Xiaochuan and me then, don't even think about getting Changliu's forgiveness!" Chen Lin was arrogant and spoke in a loud voice to hide his guilty conscience.
Zhou Yunli forced a smile upon hearing this and said, "Third sister-in-law, I'm just worried that Xiaochuan hasn't eaten enough. That's why I asked out of concern. My words may be a little harsh, but please don't mind."
Shen Lin was so angry at her shameless behavior that she fell backwards.
Not knowing what the taboo was, she just frowned and said nothing. After watching Zhou Yunli leave, she went to cause trouble for the second house again.
Finally, some food was obtained from the second branch of the Zhao family.
Zhou Jiaojiao felt like she was eating melon.
but.
She also wanted to say that Chen Lin and Zhao Xiaochuan were in good condition and it was obvious that they were not very hungry.
But even though the flaw was so big, no one noticed it, and she was too lazy to intervene. After all, it was the heroine's business and had nothing to do with her.
However, no matter how obvious the other party is, he will definitely be discovered.
Wait until the sun comes out in the morning.
The whole village started to set off with their luggage.
Chu San was pulling the cart and Zhou Jiaojiao followed beside him. The luggage on the carriage was tied up with cloth strips, so she didn't need to hold it and felt relaxed.
She held Chu Dahua and Chu Xiaohua's hands and followed them down the mountain.
However, Zhao Sanwa was still curled up on the cart, humming softly.
Chu Erbao acted like a little adult and said angrily, "Humph, Zhao Sanwa is just good at pretending. He didn't even cry when I fell and hurt myself, but now he's trying to act like a spoiled brat and doesn't want to leave on his own."
Zhou Jiaojiao turned around and saw it too.
The Zhao family also has an ox cart.
The ox cart was occupied by the eldest son of the Zhao family, and the one sitting on it and driving the cart was Zhao Da.
Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were pushing a cart, sweating profusely from the heat, and showed no intention of changing.
The second wife of the Zhao family was also on the same page, still muttering about something that was wronged.
Shen Lin, on the other hand, had very little luggage, only a bag and two water bags. She held Zhao Xiaochuan's hand, ignored anyone in the Zhao family, and walked beside them with a cold face.
Zhou Jiaojiao withdrew her gaze and no longer cared about Shen Lin's family.
She looked around and didn't find any valuable check-in points, so she didn't plan to waste it here.
Today we are going to the nearest county town.
If there was no water in the village, probably no one would be willing to leave their hometown. After all, houses and land are important assets.
The nearest county town is more than ten kilometers away from the cave. It took two days of walking before we saw any shadows.
There are more and more refugees around.
The key county gate is still closed.
Thinking about what the system said, that the prefect colluded with the county magistrates to falsely report the disaster, it is unlikely that the city gates will be opened.
For safety reasons, the group from Daliu Village stayed two hundred meters away.
Second Brother Chu went to inquire about the news.
As expected, the county town was closed, but every afternoon when it was getting dark, dozens of buckets of water would be lowered from the city wall.
Small amount of water.
The refugees started fighting over this and blood was shed.
The dispute was quickly resolved before the city ran out of ammunition and food. However, judging by the trend, once the refugees outside the city gate were completely out of water and food, fighting would not be far away.
Zhou Jiaojiao couldn't leave immediately.
Zeng Wenling's parents, elder brother and sister-in-law live in the county town. They have always been merchants and even sent food to the Chu family a month ago.
"Mom, I'll see if I can find a chance to bribe the guards at the city gate to let me pass on a message. Just to confirm that my mother-in-law and the others are okay." Brother Chu said with gritted teeth as he watched the sky getting darker.
Seeing Chen Lin going to the city gate several times, Zhou Jiaojiao interrupted Chu Erge and said, "Mom, I'm going with my husband."
"Third sister-in-law!"
"Jiaojiao?"
Chu's mother and second brother Chu both screamed in objection.
Zhou Jiaojiao looked at the two of them seriously: "Mom, Second Brother, I have a solution. Can you take a look first? If there is any problem, I will definitely return it."
Chu San knows Kung Fu.
It’s safer than going with Second Brother Chu.
She has a sign-in system and can also protect herself and sign things in at critical moments.
"Second brother, if your method is effective, someone must have tried it long ago, but I haven't heard of anyone getting in."
