The next day, before dawn, everyone got up early after what happened the previous night. The team set off as soon as the sky brightened.
They wanted to walk further before the sun came out, and at the same time, they wanted to overtake more refugees.
While traveling today, I saw many groups of refugees, as well as families, and more refugees walking alone on the road.
The refugees walking alone on the road didn't have much luggage, their backs were thin, and they were shaking when they walked, which showed that they couldn't hold on for much longer.
The further they walked, the more corpses there were on both sides of the road. Both the Shen and Lin families had already put on homemade masks.
The other people in the team saw this and didn't quite understand why they had to cover their mouths with a cloth when the weather was already so hot.
Chen Li held a fan in her hand and fanned herself. Although she was wearing a hat, the sun was too strong!
The weather is so hot that the corpses on both sides of the road will soon emit a foul smell. The smell is still mild now, but it will become stronger in two days.
Shen Zhenyuan also saw the situation on both sides of the official road and asked his grandson to drive the ox cart faster.
But the speed of a cow is limited. No matter how fast it goes, it won’t be much faster. And we also have to be careful not to tire the cow out.
In this way, the team continued to move forward for several days. Because there was no shelter from the woods, everyone in the team suddenly became much darker.
In the past few days, the number of corpses on both sides has gradually increased. Everyone has gotten used to it and no longer covers the children's eyes. After all, the road is still long and they can't cover it every time.
Besides, children are actually better at adapting than adults, and they are used to it now.
It’s just that it’s not easy to find a place to rest. We have to stay away from corpses and other teams.
So when the time is about right, I will stop to rest when I see a suitable place. If I continue walking forward, I don’t know how long it will take before I come across such an open space.
Chen Li also got a little tanned, but compared to the others, she was quite fair.
All that could be seen on both sides of the road was desolation, with no trace of green at all, and the ground had been cracked by the sun.
I passed through several villages in the past few days, and they were all very desolate and deserted.
Everyone was really saving water. When they really couldn't bear it anymore, they would just take a small sip and didn't dare to drink it in big gulps like before.
The Shen family also wanted to save water, but Lin Cuicui and Shen Li wouldn't let them.
Lin Cuicui said bluntly: "If you don't drink enough water, you will get heatstroke. Then you might have to boil medicine. Don't you need water?"
Chen Li nodded in agreement with what Lin Cuicui said, "Mom is right, I must finish drinking the water in the water bag every day."
Chenli would add some water into the water tank from time to time, otherwise with so many people, the water really wouldn't last long.
Fortunately, it was usually Lin Cuicui who went to fetch water, and the others didn't know exactly how much water was left, so they could only guess roughly.
"Brother, sister-in-law, third brother, fourth brother, if you run out of water, you can find more, but you can't wear yourself out, especially sister-in-law, you must not stop drinking water."
"Ali, I understand."
Xu Taohua was called out by Chen Li, and his face turned slightly red. He thought that he would spend most of the day in the carriage, so he wanted to save some water. He didn't expect that his younger sister would find out so quickly.
The others named by Chen Li also nodded. The three brothers licked their dry lips at the same time and decided to listen to their little sister.
In order to save water, many people in the team have shown signs of heat stroke in the past two days, but the number is not large and has not affected the team's progress.
In the evening, they stopped in an empty town. The town was already deserted, and no one knew how many times it had been looted by passing refugees.
The doors of every household in the town were open, and the city gates were in tatters.
As soon as the team from Shanli Village entered the town, they began looking for food and water. If they could find some, they would be happy for a long time.
Chen Li and the others stopped in front of a house, planning to rest there tonight.
Shen Changshan took the three brothers Shen Jingyuan and followed the crowd and went out to look for things.
Chen Li released his mental power and looked around to see if he could find anything.
The result was just as we saw when we arrived: nine out of ten rooms were empty, and one was particularly dilapidated.
Suddenly, Chen Li's mental power stopped at a large house. From the appearance of this house, it can be seen that the people who lived here before were either rich or noble.
I thought since I was already here, I might as well go in and take a look.
As a result, this visit was really rewarding. Although I don’t know how many people have visited this house, there are still many good things in the backyard, all hidden very secretly.
"Mom, I'm going out for a while. Please lock the gate. I'll be back soon."
Her uncle's house was right next door, so Shen Li wasn't too worried about their safety.
After leaving the house, Shen Li walked towards the big house. She was very fast and arrived there soon.
There were a few people in the mansion who, like her, wanted to take advantage of the bargain. They all looked at each other and chose a direction to go.
Chen Li ignored them and went straight to the backyard, walked into a room, and moved the dressing table that had been turned over countless times, revealing the stone bricks underneath.
Lifting up the stone brick, a small box was revealed underneath. The box was delicately made and had a lock on it. Chen Li pulled the lock open and took a look.
The small wooden box has two layers. The top layer contains two pearl necklaces the size of fingernails, several jade bracelets of good quality and two gold hairpins.
Chen Li used his spiritual power to see the layer below, which was ten ingots of gold, each weighing ten taels.
The harvest is good, I will send these directly into the space and continue to hunt for treasure.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Li walked out of the house contentedly, carrying a bundle in her hand, which contained the dried vegetables she had prepared.
As soon as she walked out of the house, four or five men surrounded her. Shen Li smiled. It seemed that she really looked like someone who was easy to bully!
"Little girl, hand over the bag in your hand, we won't make things difficult for you."
"Yes, otherwise, it would be bad if a delicate girl like you got bumped or bruised."
"Really?" Chen Li took the bundle in her hand, "Then should I thank you?"
Chen Li's refusal was very obvious, and several people saw it and immediately tried to grab it.
Before he could even touch Chen Li, he was knocked away by Chen Li's punch.
It really flew out, and after flying three meters, it fell to the ground, making several dull sounds.
Chen Li ignored these people and went to look for treasure elsewhere.
