When you're fleeing famine, you're lucky if you can even get some thin porridge!
What's more, Ms. He didn't contribute anything, yet she acted as if others had taken her share, which was really infuriating!
Everyone's porridge was pretty much the same; it was all stirred well and then ladled out. No one specifically scooped out any rice or grains. However, the last one was definitely a bit thinner.
The village chief got angry too and said, "This is how it is for everyone. Eat it if you like, or don't if you don't!"
After saying that, he turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, drink up! Once you're done, pack up and get ready to go! Take advantage of the cooler, less sunny weather and make it more comfortable!"
Everyone agreed, bowed their heads, blew on their breath, and began to drink earnestly.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Mrs. He was worried that, like last night, the pots would be washed clean and there would be nothing left!
At least eating will fill your stomach; if you don't eat, there really won't be anything to eat!
I don't know how much further we have to go, or when we'll be able to cook again. If we go hungry for a day, we'll definitely suffer!
Without further hesitation, she quickly poured all the porridge into her own bowl.
Although it's high in moisture and contains very few grains of rice, it's still oily, which is better than nothing!
I heard that if you put rabbit meat in it to stew, it will have a meaty flavor and won't leave you feeling hungry.
The last bottle of cold water cooled quickly. He tilted her head back, gulped it down in a few gulps, and still felt like she hadn't had enough.
She glanced at the Mo family's table and noticed there was hardly any roasted meat left. Her mouth watered, but the village chief gave her a meaningful look, and she immediately stopped making a move.
"Village chief, this piece of roasted meat is for you. You've worked hard leading everyone! Don't be shy, eat some meat to have the strength. Everyone is counting on you! With you ahead, everyone has a direction and feels at ease!"
Su Nanxi handed a piece of roasted meat to the village chief and said very sincerely.
The village chief originally didn't intend to accept, but since Su Nanxi had already put it that way, he was very pleased and knew that Su Nanxi was deliberately trying to establish his authority, so he accepted it.
But he uttered polite words of refusal.
Su Nanxi understood all these tactics and started promoting them commercially!
Finally, with Su Nanxi's praise and affirmation, the village chief accepted the roasted meat.
Everyone heard it clearly and knew in their hearts that the village chief's position was very important and irreplaceable, so they also felt that the village chief should eat well!
Only then will we have the strength to lead everyone forward!
He watched helplessly as the village chief ate the last of the roasted meat, and she was quite unhappy about it!
But they dared not utter a sound.
She dared not utter a word of dissent, or the villagers would have thrown her out!
Knowing they couldn't afford to offend him, they kept quiet.
No one paid any attention to Ms. He, nor did anyone care about her emotions.
Everyone conscientiously packed their belongings, counted the number of people, and once everything was in order, they set off again.
While the sun was low and not too hot, everyone quickly went outside.
"Everyone, stop for a second! There seems to be some fruit over there. I'll go check it out. You all rest here for a bit!"
Su Nanxi suddenly shouted "Stop!" and ran to the side.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Han followed closely behind, with Mo Qinghe beside them.
The village chief immediately told everyone to stop and rest. He didn't dare to go with them because he couldn't leave the crowd.
So he could only crane his neck to look in the direction Su Nanxi had run off to, hoping to see something, but he was old and his eyesight was failing, so he couldn't see very clearly!
I squinted and looked for a while before I could finally see clearly that there really seemed to be some kind of fruit!
I couldn't contain my joy. With my mute mother around, I really don't have to worry about anything!
It seems like many things can be easily solved!
Following the Mo family was the right decision!
It's fair to say that if the Mo family leaves the group and goes on their own, they'll definitely be fine. But if the group leaves the Mo family and goes on their own, then it's hard to say!
It must be tough for everyone!
In just a few days, they might be eating tree bark and wild grass everywhere!
How could there possibly be meat to eat!
There's even fruit to eat!
Don't even think about it!
Do they not realize how unlucky they are?
I know exactly what's going on!
Otherwise, why would people from other villages follow them?
If there's nothing special about it, why would anyone follow them? Wouldn't it be the same if they just went by themselves?
Su Nanxi returned quickly, slightly out of breath from running so fast. "Village chief, arrange for a few young men to go and pick some fruit."
Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately made arrangements.
Very good!
They got to eat fruit too!
Fruits are high in water content, which can fill your stomach and quench your thirst!
nice one!
I never expected to find it here, and the mute girl even saw it!
It's not good luck; it's so far off. You can just miss it and never notice it!
When everyone heard that there was fruit, they were overjoyed without even asking what kind of fruit it was.
They're not picky; they're happy as long as there's food!
Good heavens, those who went to pick the fruit were even more outrageous; they didn't leave the entire tree untouched, sweeping it all clean!
The cloth bag I took to pack it couldn't hold it all!
Someone volunteered to help, and even brought a bag.
The village chief waved his hand and agreed. More people would help, and it would be faster!
Finally, he excitedly carried it back, and the onlookers were also excited, thinking that he should be able to get a pretty good share!
Upon opening it, the village chief exclaimed, "This fruit is excellent! It's full of juice, sweet, and delicious! A real gem!"
"Village chief, is this a sand pear? It's quite big! This fruit is very thirst-quenching!"
Someone in the crowd spoke up.
The village chief nodded. "It really is a sand pear! That's great!"
"Let's divide it up. Everyone can take some, then we won't need someone to carry it all. It'll save everyone from working so hard!" Su Nanxi suggested.
The village chief agreed wholeheartedly and made arrangements immediately!
To avoid causing resentment, the village chief emphasized beforehand, giving everyone a heads-up: "Everyone knows who we should thank for being able to eat the fruit! You also know that the fruit comes in different sizes, and when I distribute it, it won't be perfectly even. What you get is what you get; don't worry about whose fruit is bigger or smaller. Can you do that? If anyone is jealous, then don't take any, so there's no comparison!"
Everyone agreed and expressed their opinions, so the village chief began distributing the goods.
In large households, the village chief would simply pick up a few extra pieces and distribute them without any selection.
Everyone watched, and no one had any objections.
After the food was divided, the village chief said, "It's not a very even distribution, so everyone should just make do with what they have. The big ones can eat it, and the small ones can eat it too."
No one expected such a pleasant surprise. Everyone was still a little dazed when they received the fruit, feeling like it was unreal!
Water is precious, and so is fruit!
"We don't care, as long as we have something to eat!"
"Yes! It's a blessing to meet someone like this, I'm not picky!"
"Yes, even the small ones are quite juicy! I'm very satisfied!"
...
The village chief was quite pleased and waved his hand, "Alright! Let's continue!"
Perhaps because they had received the fruit, they felt relaxed and walked quite briskly.
He was ignored. When she approached the Zhou family, they acted as if she didn't exist. When she approached the Mo family, Su Nanxi glanced at her and she dared not go any closer.
"There are so many people on the road ahead! Much more than yesterday!"
