After Wang Shiyu collected her thoughts, she opened her eyes, climbed down the tree, and started to eat breakfast. The breakfast was still millet porridge with steamed buns and two pickles. This was today's breakfast, which was quite healthy.
After breakfast, the old man asked everyone to rest for a while and he walked to the outskirts of the forest. He wanted to see how the Zhang family was doing. He was a little worried about the situation of the Zhang family. The people in the Zhang family were already injured, and now the weather was hot and they had walked so far. He wanted to go and see how the Zhang family was doing.
Now their family is eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks. If anything happens to their uncle's family, they will not be able to rescue them in time. In order not to delay today's itinerary, the old man deliberately walked faster. When he reached the outskirts of the forest, he saw the prisoners who were resting far away by the edge of the forest. They had just woken up and were eating breakfast.
The two sons of the Zhang family were busy running around, looking quite lively. It was obvious that they had nothing to do. Zhang Tao was directing his sons to work with great energy, and the rest of the female family members and grandchildren were all laughing.
But the old man was not close to them, so he did not go over there. He just observed the situation of the Zhang family from a distance for a while and saw that there were no other unexpected situations in the Zhang family.
Turning back to the mountain, the old man saw that there were quite a few people in front, so he didn't go there. He just observed the situation of the Zhang family from a distance for a while. Seeing that there were no other accidents in the Zhang family, he turned back to the mountain and didn't let others discover his whereabouts. Now the people on the road were too crazy. He was not sure that he could escape safely after so many people attacked him.
For him, as long as the Zhang family can arrive at Qiong Island safely, the Zhang family will definitely rise again. The connections they have built up over the years are incomparable to those people. No matter how poor the Zhang family is, even if there is only one person left, they will make a comeback. In this way, he can use the Zhang family to return to Jinling.
He had to return the pain that Jinling had given him. Although the emperor had saved his life by holding that woman and her son in custody, he knew very well what kind of person his brother was, yet he still arranged a marriage between his mother and his brother, which led to his mother's death and inability to leave the palace.
Thinking of what happened in the past, Wang Huan gritted his teeth. His mother had the opportunity to leave, but because of the emperor's decree of marriage, she had to endure it for the sake of the Zhang family. He was not in a hurry. She had endured it for so many years, and a few days would not make a difference.
After the old man left, Wang Shiyu gently shook off her cotton clothes and pulled back her sleeves, revealing the gray and black streaks on her arms. They were incredibly dirty. There was no water in the dense forest, so they had no way to bathe. Look at her arms; they were truly filthy.
She rubbed her hair twice, and the greasiness on her hands was unbearable. She felt like she could pull out two ounces of oil from her hair, and it was very itchy. From time to time, she could feel that there were definitely fleas on her head.
Now the whole family is like this. They have no way to take a bath or wash their hair to maintain their personal hygiene. Even if there are fleas on their hair, they will not stop and waste water for these fleas. Sometimes Wang Shiyu really wants to take a bath secretly, but she has been holding back. It has been a month since she took a bath, mainly because she is afraid that she will be discovered if she is too clean. In fact, the clothes she wears inside are changed every day.
Just when Wang Shiyu was scratching her head, the old man came back in a hurry. Seeing Wang Shiyu scratching her scalp aimlessly, he suddenly felt his scalp start to itch as well. Actually, it was normal to think about it.
It has been such a long time since they washed their hair or took a shower. Because they were in a hurry to get on the road, their bodies were soaked with sweat, not to mention their wet scalps.
They all have long hair now, which is tied on top of their heads. Even though Wang Shiyu is only eight years old, her hair has already reached her waist. Now it is tied in two buns on her head. In addition to oil and sweat, there is also various dust on her scalp.
Especially now, our hair and body are given by our parents. Unless an elder in the family has passed away, we can cut their hair short. Otherwise, we cannot cut it.
But the more she scratched her scalp, the more itchy it became. Wang Shiyu didn't dare to scratch it hard anymore, for fear of making it bleed. She could only rub it gently with her fingertips. The old man felt that his scalp was getting more and more itchy when he saw Wang Shiyu's movements.
Then he quickly called everyone to start the journey, without any hesitation to touch his hair. If he scratched it, it would not stop and it would take a while to finish.
Mo Ru Ru looked at Wang Shiyu's actions, smiled, and said nothing. Then she rummaged through her small bag for a long time and found a comb. She lay down and combed the child's hair while waiting to rest, so that it would not be so itchy. It was very troublesome to wash the child's hair when it was long, so she basically washed it once every half a month. Every time the scalp itched, she would comb it with a comb to relieve it.
Mo Ru Ru prepared everything and waited to comb her daughter's hair in the evening. In fact, her scalp was also itchy. After she finished combing her daughter's hair, she asked her daughter to comb hers too, so that she could hold on for a while. She hoped that there would be enough water when they arrived in Chuncheng so that they could take a bath and wash their hair.
Every two steps, her body was soaked with sweat. Wang Shiyu held a handkerchief with a look of despair and silently wiped the sweat from her face. The sweat was like a small stream. The water in the river on the ground dried up, but did not disappear. It just transferred to people's faces.
The weather was so cold that there was no way to survive. Looking out from afar, it looked like a huge steamer. It was not so scary inside the woods. But when I looked outside the woods, it was as if the ground was burning with steam. It was so hot that it was unbearable.
