Those who were standing there waiting for the rain felt lost for a moment, and quickened their pace to catch up with the group in front.
Tired from walking, Wang Shiyu climbed into the car to rest for a while, but she didn't sleep. Instead, she closed her eyes, returned to her consciousness and started making rice balls.
I made several kinds of condiments, including fried eggs, ham, bacon, roasted pork belly, and braised meat. In order to let my family eat more, I kneaded the rice in a whole rice cabinet into small balls.
You have to know that this is a lunch cabinet in a shopping mall that specializes in boxed lunches. She collected rice from at least a dozen lunch cabinets.
There was no electricity in the space, so they could only use firewood or coal stoves. Wang Shiyu thought it was too much trouble and never started a fire. She only used the things she had "robbed" before.
The old man saw that there was no sign of rain that day and it seemed like it would not stop at all. In addition, they needed to follow their uncle and others to Qiong Island. Although Qiong Island was located in a remote area and the land was barren, it could produce three harvests a year and was considered a good place.
In fact, the old man was just comforting himself. If Qiongdao was really a good place, how could the people there exile those criminals there?
This is enough to prove that the environment there is not good at all. There are many poisonous obstacles, and there are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants. It is almost a barren land.
But no matter how far it is, it is still the territory of the Dazhou Dynasty, so people need to go there to live and farm to prove that this is the territory of the Dazhou Dynasty.
Wang Shiyu thought that Qiongdao should be the legendary place in Hainan, where the harvest was not good.
Most of the land is saline-alkali land, and there is only a small piece of land for growing crops. People basically rely on fishing for a living.
But if you fish, you can't get a good price there. Who doesn't go to the sea to catch a few fish? When the tide goes out, people will go to the sea to catch more fish. Almost no one eats seafood because it has no oil or water.
Some of them walked one after another until midnight, and only stopped when the torches were about to go out, relit the bonfire, and started cooking and resting.
The old man did not go to deliver things to the Zhang family that night. After all, they had just come out of Mo City and they still had a lot of things and were not short of food and drink. Zhang Tao did not get up and go into the woods either.
He originally planned to bring the Wang family to his side and travel together, but he felt embarrassed that his son only brought back such a small amount of things.
These few things cost him more than ten thousand taels of silver. Now he has nothing on him except some silver notes.
Watching my daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law making a fire and cooking, I found that the rice they took out of the car was all stale and broken rice, with no good rice at all.
Zhang Tao closed his eyes silently. After all, people are forgotten when they leave. Even though he has made arrangements and has someone in Mocheng to pick him up, there are still people who pretend to obey but actually disobey.
They even didn't take their previous arrangements seriously at all. He thought all the way that maybe he had entrusted his work to the wrong person, or he was too nice to these people, so nice that they no longer cared about his attitude.
Today, grandpa also took out a clay pot and cooked a pot of porridge. He used the good rice he just bought today, and then took out the dried vegetables that he had dried last autumn and put them directly into the porridge. He cooked it into a pot of vegetable porridge, sprinkled a little salt, and served it directly to each person, who had a bowl and drank it hot.
Although the weather is very hot now, it is not a big deal to drink cold water all the time. Today, as soon as I came out of the city, I took out a bucket of spring water prepared by the old man.
My mother and second aunt boiled the water, and then poured it into the empty water bag and bamboo tube. It only took three times to boil a bucket of water.
The boiled water looked like a lot, but it was gone in just two days. People around watched the family boil water, and there was an inexplicable light in their eyes.
After boiling the water, the old man took up most of it and walked directly to the Zhang family in front, gave it to Zhang Tao and asked him to accept it.
The people around watched him hand the water directly to the prisoner in front, and instantly moved away from this family. These people were all criminals, and even if they had made great contributions in the past, they couldn't get too close to them now.
Nowadays, anyone who dares to get close to the prisoners is not a good person. In fact, the old man did this on purpose, deliberately trying to have less relationship with the prisoners in front.
These days, the old man looked at the people behind him and kept wondering in his heart that the people around him had been staring at their family's belongings and carts, and had even started pointing and talking.
The old man didn't care about their pointing and talking at all. These were the people he wanted, and he would never dare to act rashly against them again. He had seen these people's restlessness in the past two days and was anxious. When he was walking in the afternoon, he discussed it with Xiaoyu and made this decision. It was just right to support Zhang Tao with some supplies and get his family out of some trouble.
If it weren't for his uncle's house, he really wanted to take his family directly through the small path. Although there was a possibility of encountering bandits or robbers, it was still safer than a sudden riot.
Now that they have everything to eat and drink, they will naturally attract some people's attention. Seeing the old man's actions, the family pretended not to see it. Even if they were related to the prisoners, it was better than being robbed by these people.
After all, they were not as numerous as the people who had migrated as a whole clan, and she couldn't use modern weapons. She just shot them.
Ever since delivering water to the Zhang family that day, their family has become less noticeable, and the servants walking behind them would subconsciously take care of them.
This made the people behind them cautious and they no longer dared to openly look at the things on them or the women in the team.
