Chapter 19 Mysterious Team (2/2)



After checking, Xiao Ling'er felt a little more confident and lay down to sleep peacefully.

The next day, Xiao Ling'er opened her eyes and stretched lazily.

This was the first time she had a good night's sleep since she traveled through time.

In addition to making a pot of thick rice porridge for breakfast today, Xiao Ling'er still bought a meat bun and a box of milk for everyone.

As expected, Xiao Yuhao showed a look of joy and happiness when he ate the meat bun.

The difference is that habits die hard, and he plans to secretly leave half of it uneaten.

Xiao Ling'er used both coaxing and intimidation to tell Xiao Yuhao that if he didn't eat enough, he would have no strength, which would affect his journey.

Moreover, he is in the period of growth. If he does not eat enough for a long time, he will be like Liu the Shorty in the village and will only grow to three feet tall.

After such persuasion, Xiao Yuhao quickly finished the remaining buns.

After breakfast, Xiao Ling'er looked at the straw sandals on their feet which were already worn out and bought three pairs of cotton shoes which were worth 5 fortunes a pair.

The wealth value has increased from 6240 last night to 6200. In just one day from last night to today, 40 wealth points have been used up.

Xiao Ling'er sighed with a pained heart. No matter what era, the most unforbidden thing is money.

When will she be able to achieve financial freedom, live a life without worries about food, clothing and daily necessities, and buy whatever she wants?

What made Xiao Linger even more depressed was that the broken straw sandals they had changed out of were rejected by the system—

System: [Ding, these broken straw sandals are too tattered to be exchanged.]

Alas, life is not easy, Xiao Ling'er sighed.

In the next few days, the mother and her children traveled quite smoothly and did not encounter many refugees on the road.

It was not until the last two days, after passing two forks in the road, that the number of refugees on the road began to increase again.

However, the refugees' conditions became increasingly worse, with one of them falling down every now and then, and remaining on the road of fleeing famine forever.

The living are in even greater pain. They are powerless to watch their loved ones fall down, and can only dig a hole on the spot to bury them. They have to continue to struggle and find a way out.

Along the way, Xiao Ling'er saw some people cutting their wrists and letting their family members drink their blood in order to give their family members a chance to survive.

There are also selfish people who are so cruel as to send their own children away in exchange for food in order to survive.

Such touching and cruel scenes are played out every day.

Xiao Ling'er felt a little depressed, and she unconsciously quickened her pace with Xiao Yuhao and Mu Xiya.

She found that Xiao Yuhao had been pale for the past two days, and even Mu Xiya had become a little silent.

The three of them continued on their journey for five days until they passed a fork in the road again on the sixth day, where they discovered a mysterious group of more than sixty people on the road ahead.

They looked different from other refugees. They were not as hungry and thin. Regardless of gender, age or status, they were all stronger than other refugees.

There were more than a dozen tall and strong young men in their team, each of them carrying a bow and arrow at his side. They surrounded the entire team with great momentum.

This team does not look like they are fleeing, but more like they are relocating from their village.

The ten carts were packed full, and six of them were loaded with daily necessities such as pots, pans, clothes, and bedding.

The other four carts were completely covered with withered grass and tattered clothes, and it was impossible to tell what was on them.
