“…I want to tame it!”
Wang Yi came forward with a smile and rolled up a bunch of hay beside him. In fact, he secretly took a piece of sugarcane from the space and fed it to the wild donkey without telling anyone.
The guy ate with such delicious taste, and coupled with the natural goodwill generated by the system, he didn't kick his legs anymore, and even snorted, staring at Wang Yi with his big donkey eyes, indicating that he wanted more.
"Honest now?"
"I really can't move anymore, Mommy is so amazing!"
"Hmph, it must have just happened to be running out of steam."
Everyone thought that the wild donkey was tired from struggling, and it let Wang Yi stroke it without moving. Finally, it rolled up its four hooves and lay on the ground, panting.
"Hey? It's strange. We tried so hard to keep this stubborn donkey from obeying us, but it obeyed me when I got there. I think I have a connection with this donkey."
The fourth brother, Li Jinbao, laughed, and Li Chengcai spat out:
"A dog can't spit out ivory! How can my mother be destined to be with this wild donkey, ugh!"
Wang Yi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, and lightly slapped Yinbao on the back of the head.
"No one thinks you're dumb just because you can't speak. You little bastard, why did I give birth to something like you?"
The whole family laughed.
It’s strange to say, but this wild donkey has really stopped making trouble since it was fed by Wang Yi.
Li Shenggen improvised a donkey halter with hemp rope and asked Wang Yi to lead the donkey. However, there was no saddle on the donkey's back, and when it touched the donkey's fur, Wang Yi frowned and refused to sit on it.
However, everyone had a place to put their luggage, which was hung on the donkey, making their journey much easier.
Wang Yi glanced at her sons and let them take turns carrying her when she got tired!
Not long after the whole thing was over, it was completely dark.
"It's not easy to walk ahead. Let's rest here and set off again tomorrow morning."
Li Shenggen chose a spot near the road and asked Wang Juanhua to put down the pot and cook. There was a small river not far away, but there was definitely no fish or shrimp, just a little water.
The whole family has been eating dry food and cold water for a day, and now the boiled water is gone and has to be boiled again.
How can I go a day without eating some hot food?
Wang Yi remembered the water filter in the space and volunteered to fetch water: "I'll get some water."
Without waiting for anyone in the family to follow her, she walked away quickly. She walked very swiftly at this time.
When she arrived at the river, she immediately put the purified water that had been filtered in the space into the bucket.
Although she always took sugarcane and water from the space to drink when she went to the toilet, she couldn't drink water in front of everyone.
So the safest way is to change all the water.
Li Shenggen was still full of emotion. It seemed that his mother had stopped being so pretentious while fleeing from the famine. It was really great.
After bringing back the water, Wang Yi waited for dinner nearby. He took the donkey to the meadow to nibble some grass and secretly fed it some sugarcane.
My sons and the others didn't dare to eat it, so giving it to you, a beast, is really a bargain for you.
She wasn't hungry and even wanted to burp, but couldn't say it.
There was only one roasted sweet potato left in the space, and he had eaten the rest, plus the coarse pancakes without oil or salt baked by Wang Juanhua, and he even felt a little full.
It’s not that I don’t want to feed my family, but there’s really no reason to take it out.
Until the day comes when the sweet potatoes and potato sprouts in her arms bear fruit or people starve to death, she will be afraid that her sons and daughters-in-law will burn her as a monster.
Wang Juanhua picked a piece of snake meat that was not dried too thoroughly, chopped it into pieces, and added the wild vegetables she had picked along the way and the black noodles she brought with her to make a large pot of thin snake meat soup.
Everyone had a bowl of soup with yesterday's baked pancakes, and after eating, they lay on the ground to rest.
Wang Yi quietly looked at Lan Miao. The girl lowered her head when no one was around, suppressing her sadness. Her shoulders twitched and she was still crying.
She didn't bother.
Cry, cry, life is not easy for girls. Families like hers will be blessed if the disaster is stopped now.
But all this was paid for by her mother's life, and she can only rely on herself to heal.
But at this moment, she saw a figure coming over and handing Lan Miao a piece of black steamed bun.
She continued to pretend to sleep, but she didn't expect that Lao Wu was so reserved and had already started to please her.
"Lan Miao, don't cry. I see you didn't eat much, so I left some dry food here for you."
Look, look, what a simple way of pursuing.
Lan Miao burst into laughter, glanced at Li Shoucheng, and took it.
The two men whispered a few words, and Li Shoucheng ran away with a red face.
Lan Miao took a closer look at Wang Yi and found that she was not awake. Then she soaked the dry bun with her saliva and ate it bit by bit, but she really stopped crying.
Tsk tsk.
It seems that Lan Miao doesn't hate our fifth child. This is promising.
After dawn, the whole family got up, feeling tired and sore.
Sleeping in the wild was already uncomfortable, and there was heavy dew in the morning. We had walked all day yesterday, and even the donkey, which had eaten and drunk well, began to wilt.
On the contrary, Wang Yi looked quite energetic. The little bit of physical strength he gained yesterday was fully absorbed after a night. He was no longer tired and his face looked younger.
When she went to fetch water in the morning, she took a special photo by the river. She vaguely saw some traces of her past life, but she had to look carefully to see the difference herself.
Don't be in a hurry, lest your family find out.
Such a small change, and in this era there are no photos to record the previous appearance, so over time everyone will get used to the face becoming a different one.
What's more, her face in both lives is somewhat similar.
Li Shenggen stood on a big rock by the roadside, looking back in the direction of Yesuopo, and could see bursts of smoke rising.
The villagers behind caught up, and everyone extinguished the fire they had lit last night and started on their way.
"We're probably only two or three hours ahead of them. Let's go."
Looking at the donkey pulled by his mother, he hadn't said anything yet. If the donkey hadn't been carrying luggage, they would have walked slower and might have been caught up by the villagers.
After all, not every family has so many people.
"I guess we'll pass by the post station in the morning. I wonder if we'll meet any merchants." Jinbao's wife Zhao Xueya said in a low voice.
The Maple Leaf Posthouse of Yunze Country was the last posthouse close to the border, but with the destruction of Yunze Country, it lost its original function.
But occasionally, some border merchants from other countries would roam around these post stations, collecting furs from the people in the nearby mountains and selling salt, tea and other items. However, because there was no government supervision, the people could be cheated, fleeced, or even robbed at any time depending on the other party's wishes.
"If you come across it, no matter what the price is, sell the gold and exchange it for some salt and food. Mom, don't be greedy. You can't eat or drink that thing if you keep it. We have a family that needs to eat." Li Shenggen looked back at Wang Yi and reminded her.
Wang Yi: “…”
It is difficult to correct the ignorant, pretentious and spoiled image of her previous life in her eldest son.
