No one in the Zhou family paid any attention to He Shi; they all acted as if she didn't exist.
Zheng wanted to ignore her even more; what a fool who didn't know her place!
She thinks she's doing a great job and wants to be a dutiful daughter. She should go back to her parents' home to be one. Why did she come along?
If it weren't for the He family, the Zhou family would never have fallen to this state!
The Mo family is still watching them. If they don't perform well, the Zhou family will be in trouble!
Does this damn woman even have a brain?!
I've disliked her for a long time. She always takes advantage of being the eldest daughter-in-law to gain benefits and share the spoils!
Disgusting!
After being whispered in the ears of outsiders, they believed their slander and lost their sense of self!
Zheng was a quiet woman, a typical virtuous wife and loving mother. She never complained about anything she did, and she would never speak up even if she was wronged. She was used to being submissive, but that did not mean she had no temper.
She has three children. What happens to the adults doesn't matter much, but the children do!
That was her heart and soul; how could she bear to let her child starve to death!
What was originally a perfectly good hand of cards was ruined by Mr. He!
Even the mild-mannered Zheng became angry at this moment.
He received no response, and the people behind her caught up. If she didn't leave, she would fall behind and wouldn't be able to find the Zhou family anymore.
So even though her feet hurt, Ms. He had to grit her teeth and bear it to keep up with the group.
She kept cursing in her mind, as if only in this way could she find the strength to keep going.
Anyway, Su Nanxi didn't hear it, so she couldn't be bothered to care.
The village chief came over and asked Su Nanxi, "Su Su, based on your intuition, is there water in the river ahead?"
Su Nanxi was stunned. She didn't know how to calculate this technique. She really didn't know!
She craned her neck to look into the distance. "Village chief, why don't you go ask the other people? They might know more!"
The village chief thought about it and agreed.
I actually went ahead and asked other people, but it didn't go smoothly.
Others were very wary of him, fearing he might have ulterior motives, and shook their heads, not even running away fast enough!
The village chief was not giving up, thinking that there must be kind people out there, but everyone was the same. They were all very wary of the village chief, an outsider, and would look at him with vigilant eyes as soon as he got close, while holding tightly to their own things and watching over their children!
The village chief asked a few questions and returned dejectedly.
It seems we didn't get any useful information.
You can't blame them for this. Who knows who on the street? And what time of day is this? Who knows if a stranger has any ill intentions?
When fleeing famine, you carry the most precious things on you, so you have to keep a close eye on them!
If someone steals it, you might not even be able to catch up!
The government wouldn't care about all that, and besides, everyone's already fled, so it'll all just fizzle out in the end.
Therefore, keep a close eye on your belongings, watch your children, and don't talk to strangers!
The village chief was frustrated after hitting a wall, but he quickly recovered. It wasn't like he hadn't tried before. It was fine; if he put himself in the village chief's shoes, the village chief probably wouldn't have paid any attention to him either!
Su Nanxi comforted the village chief, "I think there should be a big river ahead, or at least a mountain stream!"
She has no precognitive abilities; it was just something she said offhand.
The village chief took it seriously, thinking that if Su Nanxi spoke, it must be true!
So, he happily returned to his family.
Su Nanxi was a little worried. What if there was nothing at all? Wouldn't that be lying to people?
Mo Qinghe squeezed in, unfolded his waist fan, and started fanning Su Nanxi.
My wife gave me this fan, it's really useful. I don't know where she got it from, but it's so convenient to use. When you're not using it, you can roll it up and just stuff it in, it doesn't take up any space at all!
It looks quite exquisite and beautiful, with a fan and a faint fragrance wafting out.
And you know what? He really loves her!
Old Xu saw it and also clamored for a turn!
It's a pity he lost his wife; he can't keep her. Otherwise, that old man would definitely have something to brag about again.
Seeing how much Mo Qinghe liked the fan and how attentively she fanned it for her, Su Nanxi suddenly felt relieved.
We'll see what happens next; who knows what lies ahead!
Things will work themselves out when we reach the bridge!
Don't worry so much. Whether they exist or not is already set in stone. They won't suddenly appear just because of their arrival!
So Su Nanxi cheered up and started chatting with Mo Qinghe.
The sun was about to set, and everyone suddenly panicked.
They were at a loss; they hadn't seen the legendary water, and they had no idea where to sleep that night.
The village chief was the most panicked and helpless. He knew that they probably wouldn't be able to find water today, especially at this point.
You can't blame Su Nanxi, after all, Su Nanxi didn't know either!
Su Nanxi also felt a little embarrassed, as she had made grand promises to the village chief, only to be disappointed in the end.
Sigh!
Don't believe her too much; sometimes she just says things offhand!
While everyone was resting, Su Nanxi decided to go and take a look around the neighborhood.
Mo Qinghe was worried and definitely followed, as did Xiao Wu and Xiao Han.
The village chief saw it, but didn't say much or ask too many questions. He hesitated for a while before deciding not to ask.
Now that Su Nanxi has left, he should be more vigilant, organize everyone, and have them count heads to make sure everyone is there!
Looking at the red sunset, the village chief sighed. The first day after fleeing the famine was anything but pleasant!
If it weren't so unbearable, I really wouldn't want to come out!
The county government is so poor, you can't count on them to distribute grain and provide disaster relief. As for the imperial court, they're even less reliable!
By the time the news reached the higher-ups, they made a decision, and then took further action, how much time had passed in between?
Layer upon layer, it's not so easy to pass it up!
Let's rely more on ourselves!
Once they escape this drought-stricken region, things won't be so difficult.
No matter what, we're out now, so we have to grit our teeth and get through this!
The village chief was still praying silently, hoping that God would take a closer look at them and help them find a water source!
With water, there's nothing to fear.
I'm really worried about running out of water; it's so hard to get through a water shortage!
"Village chief! We have a place to stay tonight! Come on, let's gather everyone and head out together!"
Su Nanxi ran over and said to the village chief.
The village chief was still lost in his own world when a shout suddenly jolted him back to reality. He paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you found water?"
Su Nanxi looked around, grunted in agreement, and then said to the village chief, "Don't shout! There are people nearby! Just follow us!"
Upon hearing this, the village chief nodded, understanding. He understood everything!
He immediately told everyone to get up, pack their things, and follow him.
They didn't say where we were going, just follow them.
Unaware of the situation, everyone quickly gathered their belongings when they saw the people in front of them move.
If we fall behind, it'll be troublesome; we won't be able to find anyone!
"Follow along, don't ask questions! Keep an eye on people, don't lose them!" The village chief shouted this every time he walked.
When they stopped, they were stunned by what they saw.
Wow! I never knew there was a place like this!
"There's water! Running water!"
"Quickly move the things into the cave!"
