Chapter 7: Fields Cracked by Drought



She now did not dare to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. She just looked at her grandfather's wise and foolish appearance, constantly testing herself. Wang Shiyu knew that the old man was constantly testing her, that is, since she started to flee from famine.

Only then did he believe that he had not become another person, but only thought that he might have somehow gained the memories of his past life.

Even though the old man has stopped testing her, she dared not reveal the slightest flaw. The space could be considered as a gift from God for his granddaughter's rebirth, but it definitely could not be a stranger's soul possessing his granddaughter.

Ancient people valued bloodline traditions more. They would not argue with you about independence. They valued their ancestors and blood ties. If a stranger came upon their descendants, they would fight to the death and make that person pay the price.

Originally, Wang Shiyu thought that she would live a very comfortable life after coming to ancient times, but now natural disasters are frequent, and the current drought is definitely not a good thing.

She also planned to wait until their escape was over, then ask her parents to give birth to two younger brothers for her, and then she would wait for her younger brothers to support her.

She was still on the road fleeing famine, so it was not appropriate to talk about these things yet. She still had to wait until she was settled down. However, she seemed to remember that Qiong Island seemed to be terribly poor at that time.

But now I think about it, it’s pretty cool. Grandpa opened a page of the family tree by himself, and made them the first page of the family tree. It’s exciting just thinking about it.

He didn't take his great-grandfather seriously at all. According to what Lin Shiyu had concluded in the past two days, his great-grandfather should still be alive and doing well.

The gold, silver and jewelry moved from Jinling prove that those people are still alive and have something to ask of the old man. Otherwise, why would they let go of so much gold, silver and jewelry?

Now seeing that there was no one around to help the Zhang family, the old man could only sigh and lie down to rest.

Lin Shiyu looked at her mother, who was blocking her back. After wolfing down the rice ball, she quietly stuffed a piece of malt sugar into her mother's hand.

Mo Ru Ru saw the malt sugar in her hand, smiled, and quietly put it in her mouth without letting others see it.

The sweet taste in her mouth made her mouth slightly raise its corners when she closed her eyes to sleep, as if she had dreamed of something good.

No one from the Zhang family went out. They were all too tired to speak and just lay on the ground to rest. Today, the old man insisted on staying awake for a while. Then, Wang Shiyu got up by herself and let her grandfather go to rest. She had rested for a while on the cart before.

Although she was very tired, she had eaten too much, so she couldn't sleep. Although she was a child now, she just needed to call the adults. No matter how tired she was, her family members would not sleep too deeply, after all, they were outside now.

If you fall into a deep sleep all of a sudden, you might not even know how you died.

Because there were no trees in this place and no place to cool off, everyone was under the scorching sun. After resting for about half an hour, everyone got up and continued to move forward. Even the prisoners in front did not continue to rest, but continued to move forward with their tired bodies.

Because they could see a forest about two miles ahead, and that forest was a very good place with shade.

There is no doubt that running too fast will kill a horse, and walking too fast will kill a person. Even though we knew the forest ahead was not far away, it was still very tiring to walk there. By the time we reached the destination, the sun was already high in the sky, and everyone was almost exhausted.

When Wang Shiyu was on the way, she sat on the cart for a while. When she was almost there, she stuffed some cakes and pickles under the felt cloth. These were the dried pickle strips that Wang Shiyu had dried in the space before.

Every time grandma opened the divination box, there would be a new surprise. She didn't say much, but just distributed the food in the car to everyone. She gave each person two pickles to supplement the salt. The water bag and gourd without water were placed under the felt cloth. When they were taken out again, they would be full of water and would taste like boiled water.

Sometimes it is too hot and when you finish drinking the water, when you pick up the water bag and gourd again, they will become a potion to relieve the heat.

Everyone was silent, enjoying all this. No one asked where the water came from or where the food came from.

After arriving in the woods, the old man took Wang Shiyu and followed in the direction Zhang Tao went. The old man looked around while walking to see if anyone was following them. Wang Shiyu was also thinking in the space what to take out today. After thinking for a while, she continued to take the white flour cakes and some pickles collected by the old man.

He found five or six water bags and added some refined salt he had brought from modern times. The salt at that time was a bit bitter. It was coarse salt that had not been refined again and was dark black.

But she didn't put the water bag in the bag because the old man didn't tell her to, and she didn't make any noise. There were too many people in the Zhang family's team, which was not like the situation in their family. She secretly put something in it and everyone in the family pretended not to see it.

Soon, I saw the old man who had just finished going to the toilet coming out from the side and was tying his belt. Seeing his nephew leading his granddaughter over, he hurried over.

"Uncle, here are some white flour buns and pickles. Eat some to replenish your energy. Do you have enough water? If not, I will come over to get you some next time."

The old man knew that all the teams were short of water, but he didn't give any today because he didn't want his uncle to think that he could take out anything. He still had to collect some, after all, everyone was short of water.

Zhang Tao thought for a while. He had just seen what the Wang family was eating. Now his nephew was willing to give them the white flour cakes and eat the black flour cakes himself. He was so touched that he didn't have any other requests.
