And there are the Chen family, they are all chefs with superb cooking skills.
The food they cook is so delicious that it makes people salivate just by smelling it.
In fact, before this, the village chief and several elders in the village had already discussed this matter privately.
Everyone felt that if these three families really wanted to go to the south with them, the people of Sujia Village would be able to accept it.
After all, when you are away from home, it is a good thing to have more people to take care of each other.
So, upon hearing the Mo family's question, the village chief said without hesitation, "Sure, of course! Welcome to join our Su Village! From now on, we'll be one family. Let's go south together, and we'll have someone to look after us."
The words of the village chief made the originally uneasy faces of the Mo, Chen and Li families suddenly bloom with bright smiles, and their eyes were full of longing for the future journey.
When Mo Yixiao heard the village chief's straightforward agreement, his face flushed with excitement and his eyes became slightly moist.
He rushed to the village chief and grabbed his hand tightly with great force, as if he wanted to convey all his gratitude to the village chief through these hands.
Mo Yixiao's voice trembled with excitement. He shouted, "Village Chief, thank you so much! Not only did you save us, but you also agreed to let us travel together. This is a huge favor to us!"
As he spoke, he shook the village chief's hand vigorously to express his uncontrollable excitement and gratitude.
The village chief only felt that his hand was hurt by Mo Yixiao's grip, and the force was like an iron clamp tightly holding his hand.
The village chief couldn't help but frown slightly, but still had a gentle smile on his face. He pulled his hand, which had been grabbed red and painful, out of Mo Yixiao's hand.
The village chief chuckled, looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and said, "It's getting late, and everyone's exhausted all day. Let's all go and rest. We have to travel again tomorrow, so we need to be well rested so that we can continue on smoothly."
Mo Yixiao finally came to his senses, realizing he had been a little too excited. He looked at the village chief apologetically, scratched his head, and said, "Oh, village chief, I'm so sorry. I was so excited just now that I hurt your hand. It's all my fault. You're right. Let's all go and rest. We have to travel tomorrow."
After saying that, the Mo family and the other two families returned to their resting place.
Time passed quietly. After two days of non-stop trekking, everyone gradually became familiar with the unique rhythm of walking in the mountains.
Slowly, the initial feeling of hardship that followed me like a shadow gradually faded away.
On this day, the midday sun shone warmly on this resting place on the top of the mountain.
After finishing their meal, everyone found a comfortable corner, leaning against a big tree or lying on the grass, to rest quietly.
There is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere all around, with only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, as if playing soft background music for this moment of tranquility.
But the group of children, like a group of tireless elves, were still laughing and playing happily in the open space nearby.
They chased each other, sweating profusely but still laughing. The crisp laughter echoed in the mountains, as if it was the most lively note in this silent world.
Those rosy little faces were filled with innocent smiles, their eyes sparkled with bright and happy light, without a trace of worry or concern. Anyone who saw their carefree look would be envious.
Yao Qingshuang was originally sitting quietly aside, looking at everything around her with a somewhat distracted gaze, her thoughts seeming to drift with the gentle breeze.
Suddenly, the thorn ball in Goudan's hand caught her eye.
Yao Qingshuang's eyes widened instantly, filled with uncontrollable excitement.
She suddenly stood up from where she was sitting and strode towards Goudan impatiently, her voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Goudan, where did you pick up this thorn ball?"
Goudan was having fun at this time, rolling the thorn ball on the ground with his hand.
Hearing Yao Qingshuang's question, he raised his head and pointed to the woods not far away. He said casually, "Grandma Yao, it's in the woods over there. There are thorn balls everywhere. I was passing by just now and thought they were interesting, so I picked up a few."
As he spoke, Goudan shook the thorn ball in his hand with a proud look on his face, as if he had picked up some amazing treasure.
When Yao Qingshuang heard Goudan's answer, a glint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She couldn't wait any longer and immediately lifted her skirt and walked quickly towards the forest that Goudan pointed to.
When she hurriedly walked into the woods, the scene before her made her stand still for a moment, and a bright smile broke out on her face, which was full of uncontrollable joy.
I saw the ground in the forest was covered with round thorn balls, like a group of brown hedgehogs lying there quietly.
Yao Qingshuang carefully examined these thorn balls, her heart blossoming with joy. She secretly congratulated herself and said, "They are indeed chestnuts!"
Everyone had a hard time traveling along the way. The food the villagers brought from the villa was not much to begin with, and after consuming it over the past few days, there was even less left.
Yao Qingshuang has been worried about this matter. She was just thinking gloomily: I don’t know how long it will take to reach the next county town.
What if we run out of food along the way?
Everyone is hoping to replenish some food and supplies in the next county town so that they can continue their journey.
However, at this moment, looking at the chestnuts all over the ground, her heart suddenly became excited.
She thought happily, "That's great! This is really God's blessing. I actually found chestnuts at this critical moment.
With these chestnuts, even if we can't reach the next county for the time being, we can solve everyone's urgent needs."
Yao Qingshuang didn't dare to delay for a moment. She turned around immediately, lifted her skirt and ran towards the camp.
Soon, she ran back to the camp panting.
As soon as she entered the camp, she began to eagerly search for the village chief. Upon seeing him, she said in a trembling voice, "Village chief, please come with me. Over there... over there is a chestnut forest. There are so many chestnuts, densely packed all over the ground!"
When the village chief heard this, his face, which was originally a little tired, suddenly bloomed with surprise.
His eyes widened, revealing an irrepressible excitement. Without saying a word, he immediately followed Yao Qingshuang and walked quickly towards the forest.
