After walking far away and making sure that there was no one around, Chen Li led the two cows behind a big rock, and with one hand holding Chi Yan, they entered the space together.
This was the first time Chi Yan entered the space. His eyes instantly widened as big as copper bells, and his horse's mouth opened wide. The whole horse was shocked.
The two cows were startled for a moment by the sudden change of environment, but after realizing there was no threat, they calmed down and lowered their heads to eat the grass on the ground.
He reached out and patted Chi Yan's head, "Go play, don't make trouble, okay?"
“Wheeze~”
Chi Yan responded excitedly, then ran wildly in the space.
Chen Li first settled the two cows and harvested all the vegetables and fruits, and then boiled water for a bath.
The previously dry and yellow hair has become black and shiny after this period of nourishment.
The half-dry hair was spread out behind her and wrapped with a piece of cloth to prevent her clothes from getting wet.
Chi Yan was tired from running at this moment. He was eating grass with his head down, and his tail was wagging from time to time.
Stay in the space until your hair is completely dry, then tie it into a ponytail and wrap it up.
Please forgive her for not having learned how to tie her hair into a bun even after being here for so long. She either asks her mother or sister-in-law for help. When they are not available, Chen Li will tie her hair into a bun or a big ball herself.
It is more convenient now. Everyone is equally dirty. You can just wrap your hair with a piece of cloth. It is simple and saves trouble.
When pulling Chi Yan out of the space, it didn't want to come out, so Chen Li fed it two spiritual fruits and then rode it away.
Under her instructions, Chi Yan walked slowly on the mountain road, not in a hurry at all.
Over there, Shen Changshan and his companions only walked five miles forward before stopping to rest.
Chen Li came back an hour later. When she came back, apart from the people who were keeping watch, only Chen Changshan and Lin Cuicui were still awake.
"Ali, you're back!"
After hearing the sound of horse hooves, the two men immediately stood up, and after Chen Li left, they lowered their voices and asked.
"Dad, Mom, this is the money from selling the cow. You can share it with everyone when the time comes."
"OK."
Shen Changshan took the silver she handed over and put it away, "Ali, you must be tired, go to bed quickly."
"Well, Dad and Mom should go and have some rest."
…
On the other side, in the Sanli Village team, Shen Jiaojiao was not sleeping soundly. Since Yang Chunhong's death, she had been withering away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Coupled with what happened before, she lost too much blood and failed to replenish it in time.
Her previously fair and delicate face now had a sallow tint, which greatly reduced her original beauty.
Just like a flower, it slowly loses the nutrients that nourish it.
At this moment, as she smelled the scent on her body, her frown never relaxed.
It wasn't just her, the entire team was like this. There was also a faint stench around them that went straight into their nostrils.
When they first separated from Shen Changshan and the others, many people in the team were still wearing masks. Finally, after Shen Liubai's persuasion, everyone felt that the masks were useless, so they took them off, and some people even threw them away.
Shen Jiaojiao took out a relatively new mask from her arms and put it on her face.
He opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment, then he sighed deeply. There was not much water left at home. Since he separated from their team, he did find a water source once before it ran out.
But this time, other teams found it together with them, and after some friendly exchanges, the water source was distributed.
But after experiencing this incident, the number of people in the team decreased again. The team originally brought by Shen Liubai now only has half of its population left.
They no longer had the same attitude as when they separated before, and now each of them was looking forward to meeting Shen Changshan and his team again.
During this period, they have been bullied a lot. You should know that when they were in the same team with the village chief and others, they had never been bullied.
Life is so frustrating now, but they can neither beat the others nor be as cruel as them, so they have to endure it. Only then do they miss the scene when they just fled the famine.
The team set off early the next morning. Shen Jiaojiao walked beside the ox cart, wearing a straw hat with the edges worn out.
Her face was numb, and her eyes only lit up when she looked at Jiang Huaichuan.
Although there was light in her eyes, the expression on her face was a little distorted. Judging from her experience during this period and Jiang Huaichuan's attitude, he was not qualified as a fiancé at all.
Why?
She has obviously done so much for him, why is he still obsessed with Chen Li?
Obviously, I am his fiancée!
Shen Jiaojiao was lost in thought when she suddenly stepped on a stone. If this had happened in the past, she would definitely have fallen.
But now, he just staggered two steps and quickly stood firm.
My eyes were dazzled by the sun and I couldn’t see the road ahead clearly. I just walked forward numbly step by step.
She didn't know where this official road led to. She was already accustomed to the corpses on both sides of the road. Only the scorching sun shining on her body was really uncomfortable.
The population of this group has now dropped sharply, with only more than 100 people left, but they still have several cows. When they entered a dilapidated village to rest in the evening, they were targeted.
After entering the village, familiar families went into a yard in groups of three or four to rest.
Old Shen's family and Yang Chunyan's family lived in the same yard. Because their relationships were so bad, they spontaneously formed a group.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at the multi-grain pancake in her hand, took a bite and swallowed it. Even though she had eaten it for a long time, her throat still felt scratchy.
If her mother were still alive, how could she be treated like this?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad. With red eyes, I ate the hard-to-swallow multi-grain pancake bite after bite.
He Lai Di on the side rolled her eyes, but still had the energy to cry. It seemed that she had drunk too much water and eaten too much food.
It's good enough that she has something to eat, but she's still crying there. I thought it was when her mother-in-law was around. It's so heartbreaking to see her cry just a few tears.
He Lai Di looked around and saw her father-in-law eating with his head down without even looking at her. This trick might have worked in the past.
I'm already exhausted after a day's work, who wants to see her crying all day long? Bah, what bad luck!
"Cough cough cough~"
When Chen Jiaojiao saw He Lai Di rolling her eyes, she swallowed the whole grain pancake she had just bitten off without warning, and the pancake got stuck in her throat.
His face flushed red, "Ahem, water... water..."
Shen Dajiang looked at He Lai Di and said, "Quick, give Jiaojiao some water!"
He Lai Di picked up the water bag with a painful feeling, pinched Shen Jiaojiao's chin with her muddy hands, and gave her a small sip of water.
