"Yiran, put me down. I can walk on my own. After drinking the detoxifying water, I feel much better and can continue my journey."
Old Madam Xiao was sweating profusely, breathing heavily, and looked at Lin Yiran with a distressed look as she tried to persuade her.
Her calves were tightly hooked around Lin Yiran's thighs, not daring to let go.
I’m afraid I’ll fall accidentally because I’m too old to handle falls.
"Don't worry, Mom. I can carry it. We need to walk faster and get to the water source before it gets dark. Maybe we can catch some wild animals."
Lin Yiran held the huge stone pot in both hands, walked with her legs crossed, and comforted Mrs. Xiao without changing her expression.
Now she has no hands to hook Madam Xiao's legs, so she can only let her old mother fend for herself.
The stone pot also contained various wild vegetables found by the sisters-in-law, and underneath the wild vegetables were the corpses of a dozen snakes.
Thinking of this, Lin Yiran's hair stood on end, and she could only try her best not to think there was a snake in the pot.
Old Madam Xiao felt so distressed when she saw Lin Yiran holding such a heavy stone pot and carrying her on her back.
But she couldn't open her mouth to ask Lin Yiran to throw away the stone pot. After all, Lin Yiran had spent a lot of time making this thing.
Mrs. Lin worked hard for a long time and just wanted to drink some hot soup. How could she bear not to let her child drink it?
The second sister-in-law, who was walking in front of Lin Yiran and cutting weeds on both sides of the path, looked back at the stone pot Lin Yiran was holding, and her eyes were almost blocked.
"Fourth brother's wife, be careful with your steps and walk slowly. We can still make it in time."
The second sister-in-law looked back as she walked, her eyes full of worry.
It would be terrible if it fell.
Lin Yiran smiled and responded, "Yeah, sister-in-law, watch the road. If I didn't fall, you'd fall again, haha~"
When the people in front heard Lin Yiran's laughter, they all turned around to look.
Everyone's eyes were filled with worry.
Xiao Yunzhan opened his mouth, and the words "Throw away the stone pot" went back and forth in his mouth several times, but he didn't say them out loud.
A stone that is about one meter long, wide and high weighs at least two to three thousand kilograms. Even if it is hollowed out in the middle, it still weighs at least five to six hundred kilograms.
He didn't think he was capable of carrying a stone weighing five or six hundred kilograms and walking such a long distance while also carrying a person on his back.
Therefore, he didn't have the nerve to ask Lin Yiran to throw away the stone pot.
"The water source is just ahead. We'll be there soon. Everyone, be careful..."
Xiao Yunzhan looked back at the road ahead. The moisture was getting heavier. There was a mark he left on the tree ahead, and the water source was not far away.
It will take about another quarter of an hour to get there.
When everyone heard this, their tired bodies suddenly felt a little strength again. They gritted their teeth and dragged their heavy bodies to follow Xiao Yunzhan.
The third sister-in-law frowned, covered her aching stomach with her right hand, took a deep breath, and forced herself to move forward.
Counting the days, it is indeed almost time.
But in the current situation, menstruation is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
They didn't even have a change of clothes, let alone menstrual belts.
The eldest sister-in-law frowned slightly when she saw the third sister-in-law's hand grasping her lower abdomen.
She quickly stepped forward, gently took Zheng's arm, and asked softly,
"Are you going to do that?"
The third sister-in-law glanced at the eldest sister-in-law, pursed her lips and nodded slowly.
“It should be…”
The sister-in-law sighed softly and looked up at the thin blanket in Xiao Yunzhan's hands.
If there is really no other option, I can only take apart the thin quilt and use it first.
The deeper they went into the mountains, the colder it became. Xiao Yunzhan was worried that Xiao Linghui in his arms would fall asleep and catch a cold, so he specially held Xiao Linghui with a thin blanket.
Xiao Lingyan had a slightly nasal voice before, and everyone was worried.
I don’t know whether it was the detoxifying water that Lin Yiran gave her that worked, or Xiao Lingyan’s physical condition was good.
Xiao Lingyan, who had a heavy nasal voice when she woke up in the morning, has now completely recovered to normal.
The light in the deep mountains was getting darker and darker, with occasional tiger roars and wolf howls.
Xiao Yunzhan looked around vigilantly, his movements to clear the way became more and more vigorous, and the sound of his sword swung was whistling.
The nearby snakes, insects, rats and ants were frightened and ran away in panic.
Xiao Yunzhan was too lazy to kill any more snakes. He killed more than ten snakes in the morning and made enough snake soup for the whole family.
There isn't much else in the deep mountains, but there are plenty of snakes. If you want to eat them, just kill them.
“Hua La La~”
As soon as Xiao Yunzhan stepped near the water source, he saw several sika deer playing in the stream.
Looking at the group of people who suddenly appeared, the sika deer raised their heads from the stream and were stunned for a moment, then ran out of the water one after another.
When Xiao Yunzhan saw the sika deer, the sword in his hand had already flown straight towards it.
"Bang!"
The sika deer was stabbed by the sword and fell heavily to the shore, wailing continuously.
The other sika deer immediately scattered and ran away.
"Uncle, it's a sika deer."
Xiao Lingyan, who was following behind Xiao Yunzhan, looked at the sika deer on the shore with surprise, then raised her head to look into Xiao Yunzhan's eyes, full of admiration.
My uncle is so awesome. He caught a sika deer from such a long distance.
After hearing this, the few people who followed behind all looked towards the stream.
Lin Yiran saw the sika deer and grinned.
"It's just right to be cooked in a stone pot. Let's have a whole deer feast to nourish everyone."
Make some deer blood vegetable soup and then roast it and eat it with venison. It is so nutritious.
This is a wild sika deer. She hasn't experienced what it tastes like to eat a wild sika deer.
Seeing that they had finally arrived, Mrs. Xiao patted Lin Yiran's shoulder.
"Good boy, let me down. I must be exhausted."
Lin Yiran squatted down slightly and said with a smile, "It's okay, I can hold on."
