Chapter 21: Escaping from Famine



The cart is full, this is too much.

Yan also decided to give Liu Yuhan the most precious sword that her step-husband kept in the inner room, so that she could use it for self-defense.

The mother and daughter didn't dare to accept the sword, it was too precious! Seeing that they didn't accept it, Yan Shi started to say something like "Aba Aba, you're so grateful for saving my life..." If they didn't accept it, she would go to the escort agency and get a few more swords for them...

Mother and daughter...you are so generous!

Before leaving, Liu Yuhan secretly took a small bag of unpackaged nougat from the space, wrapped it in a clean cloth and gave it to Xiaoyu.

I gave Yan a box of life-saving pills. (Angong Niuhuang Pills clear away heat and detoxify, calm the nerves and open the mind. They are primarily used to treat coma, stroke, convulsions, severe hepatitis caused by craniocerebral injury, and high fever and coma due to pulmonary encephalopathy. (Follow your doctor's instructions!)

Liu Yuhan told her that this was a life-saving pill that could save her life at a critical moment, so she should not throw it away casually. Yan carefully put it away.

When they walked out of the alley and saw that there was no one around, Liu Yuhan put the cart into the space.

Liu Yuhan suddenly had an idea and asked Liu where wealthy families usually lived. Liu immediately understood her daughter's idea and thought it was possible.

Take her there, and if the door is open, go in and pluck a handful of wool. Whatever it is that can be used is placed in the space.

Tables and stools, beds that can be disassembled. Discarded clothes and quilts, abandoned pots and pans, firewood, carts, etc. After scavenging three houses, the spare room in the space is already full of clutter. Alas, I don't have time now, I will go in and sort it out when I have time.

The last place Liu Yuhan went to was Doctor Liu's pharmacy. Doctor Liu was still there, but he was also packing things, and the two pharmacists were busy.

They had already arranged to leave for the capital with the escort agency early tomorrow morning. Doctor Liu had promised his father that he would never set foot in the capital again, so if absolutely necessary, he would go there to find an old friend.

When Doctor Liu saw Liu Yuhan coming, he asked about their situation in detail and asked if they wanted to go to the capital together. Liu Yuhan explained again.

Before leaving, Doctor Liu sorted and labeled the commonly used herbs, handed some to Liu Yuhan, and quickly explained them to her. He also gave her two medicine jars for burning medicine. Escaping famine was not easy, and having the herbs would provide some security.

Liu Yuhan successfully dispensed another Angong Niuhuang Pill. He asked Doctor Liu to write down a few key medicinal ingredients, hoping he could figure them out.

Doctor Liu naturally expressed his gratitude excitedly again.

He gave her a few extra packets of self-defense powder, sleeping pills, and poison, and marked them in case Liu Yuhan made a mistake.

Because the mother and daughter were delayed for some time, it was already quarter of an hour later when they caught up with the team. The family members were relieved to see the mother and daughter come back.

Start walking, walking, walking again...

After walking for an hour, we rested for 25 minutes. Everyone, regardless of the mess, found a good place to eat and drink for the children and to soothe their own throats. The food usually consisted of vegetable pancakes or coarse flour buns.

Liu Daling's family deliberately walked a little further away, using a wheelbarrow to block the way. Old Mrs. Jiang took out the steamed buns from last night from her backpack and shared them with everyone. The water bags they carried with them were filled with salt and sugar water made by Liu Yuhan in the morning. No one dared to drink too much, and Liu Yuhan told them to drink more as there was water.

Only then did he feel relieved and drank a few more sips. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Liu Yuhan walked over to Xiao Si, Xiao Wu, Liu Guang, Liu Lu, and Liu Yun, put a milk candy in each of their mouths, and told them to be quiet.

Liu Yuhan felt a little sorry for these children, especially the youngest one, Xiaosi. Unlike the other children, he didn't cry or complain about being tired. No matter how tired he was, he didn't want her and his brothers to carry him. He would run with his short legs to catch up, and only sat on his father's wheelbarrow when he couldn't bear it anymore.

Xiaowu was still quite strong, and at first he was playing with the wooden sword his brother had sharpened while walking around. In the end, he even sat on his grandfather's unicycle.

Because they couldn't bear to throw away the stuff, there were too many things, and the ox cart was pushed so high that people couldn't even think of sitting on it, and the ox was tired and suffering...

The village chief felt sorry for his cow, so he fed it hay while talking to it, and even gave it less water to drink, leaving some for the old friend.

Walk, walk, walk, walk...

Finally, before nightfall, we arrived outside Luoyang County.
