Chapter 99 The Disheveled Qi Family of Three (1/2)



The thought that the road ahead was all mountain roads and that he would have to find a place to sleep on the mountain made him want to back out.

Although Chi Jia'ao has Chi Shi and her son there.

Once you get there, you won't have to worry about food or drink.

But that's only if he survives to get there!

"Second brother, can you smell something delicious?"

Having been starving for several days, Shen had walked a long and arduous journey, and her legs were so weak from hunger that her vision was blurred.

The rations they brought were enough for the three of them to eat their way to Chijia'ao.

Unfortunately, it's cold, and I always get hungry easily.

In order to resist the cold, they had to eat more at each meal.

So much so that before they even reached Chijia'ao, more than half of their grain had already been lost.

The night before last, they had stayed in the village ahead and planned to eat at a farmer's house.

As a result, the farmers' dinner consisted of nothing more than flatbread made from dark flour and porridge made from dried vegetables.

And with just this little bit of stuff, they were still going to charge each of them ten coins.

If it were enough to fill you up, that would be fine.

But that's not the case!

Instead, each person received a bowl of thin porridge, plus two small pancakes the size of a child's palm.

Having considered herself shrewd all her life, why would Mrs. Shen be willing to suffer such a loss?

So she not only refused to eat it herself, but also prevented her husband and son from buying it.

There was nothing they could do but continue eating their own food.

He thought that after dawn, he would buy some cheap grain from other villagers before leaving, and then cook it himself.

However, when people are down on their luck, even drinking cold water can cause them to choke.

Unfortunately, a strong wind blew up that night.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, and before the night was over, the house they were staying in first lost its roof, and then collapsed.

They had spent eight coins in one room for one night, and not only did they lose their place to stay, they were also beaten up as if they were jinxes.

The villagers said that the weather, which should have been getting better, was ruined by a strange wind that blew up because of their arrival, destroying their houses.

So, in that village, they spent money, ate their own rations, didn't sleep all night, couldn't buy any food, and were even beaten up.

Feeling extremely unlucky, they dared not stay in that village any longer and could only continue walking towards Chijia'ao in the dark.

After walking for two days, their food rations were starting to run out.

There's no other way; to save food, they just have to endure it unless they're absolutely starving.

However, being hungry in the cold is already unbearable, so how could one resist such a fragrant aroma?

Sure enough, the aroma alone tempted Shen, who was reluctant to spend her money.

There were actually people here sleeping outdoors just like them, and just by smelling them, you could tell they were in pretty good shape.

I wonder if they could spend some money to buy some to eat too?

This was not only the thought of the Shen family, but also that of Qi Mingyu and Old Man Qi.

"Mother, let's go forward and see!"

As Qi Mingyu spoke, he strode forward.

At the same time, my stomach was rumbling with hunger, and my cheeks started to ache and my mouth was watering.

It smells so good, even better than the food at Tongfu Restaurant.

On such a cold day, how wonderful it would be to enjoy such a delicious meal and a sip of peach blossom wine.

Chi Dahu was an experienced hunter after all. Even though he was in a special location with the cave entrance blocked by firewood, he remained vigilant at all times.

Sure enough, he noticed Qi Mingyu getting close to his parents.

"Little Fish, someone's here. You go back first. Keep enough firewood for tonight, and take the rest back with you."

After quickly finishing the last mouthful of dumpling soup in the large bowl, Ike Yasuie also said:
