Around four or five in the afternoon, people from the city finally came out. They saw the two sons of the Zhang family, each pulling out a cart that was packed full, but it looked like there wasn't much ready-made food.
Most of them were raw food packed in bags, and there didn't seem to be much water in their car.
Wang Shiyu and the old man looked at each other.
It's over.
What they had thought about at that time had completely become a reality. At that time, they were talking about what would happen if Mo City didn't have enough food for them. And now it has really come true.
What can we do about their bad mouths?
The officers followed in their footsteps and came back. It seemed that they had a good harvest. The people in the city sent some to the old man. He stood up and took a look. They were all ready-made steamed buns and pancakes. The pancakes seemed to have been dried by fire and had no moisture at all. The steamed buns were black and no one knew what they were made of.
Under the current circumstances, it is good enough to have a stutter. We did not set off at the time we should have, but were waiting for another group of people to come out of the city.
Soon, the escort team from Mo City came out. Looking at the group of prisoners that was even larger than the Zhang family's team, Wang Shiyu felt a black screen in front of his eyes. Although these people had nothing to do with him, they were related to the Zhang family.
Fortunately, this new team went straight to the front of the team. They still followed the Zhang family and walked behind, but the newly pulled out food had to be cooked immediately, otherwise there would be no way to get it on the road.
The Zhang family does not have any very young children, and the younger ones are all over five years old, so their father or mother would carry their children for a while when they were tired. They walked for a while and finally got to where they are now. Now it is even better with a car. If they are tired, they can sit in the car for a while and then get off and walk. The women are freed.
Soon, the team started to set off. Grandma stuffed my aunt into the car and let her lie on it. She also took out a piece of osmanthus cake and asked her to eat it slowly in the car.
The remaining osmanthus cakes were given to Wang Shiyu, Mo Ruru, and Zhou Guichun, and the rest were stuffed back into the backpack and put on the car.
Wang Shiyu ate a piece directly after she was given it. Mo Ruru was reluctant to eat the piece, so she gave it directly to Wang Shiyu, asking Wang Shiyu, who had just finished a piece of osmanthus cake, to eat it quickly.
She didn't eat Zhou Guichun's piece either. She wrapped it carefully with a handkerchief and placed it next to Xiaoyi, asking him to finish the piece in his hand before eating this one.
Neither mother was willing to eat it themselves, so they gave it all to their children. Although the family conditions were not good, they did not discriminate against boys, and the two children had the same things.
The old man walked behind, looking at the situation around him, feeling a little depressed. He originally thought that his uncle's family would be able to live better in Mo City, but now it seems that life is even worse than before.
They couldn't eat their food without making a fire, and now they were in urgent need of water. How could they cook? The little water they brought from Mo City wasn't even enough for them to drink.
They didn't dare to eat the rice balls in the basket. The only green vegetable leaves they could see now were those from the wealthy families in Jinling. If they could get some, they would probably be eaten by the wolves behind them.
He was wondering whether he should openly establish a relationship with the Zhang family. If so, these unarmed people behind him would calm down.
Everyone saw how these officers treated the Zhang family preferentially. If they could relate to them, these people would not dare to openly target them.
Wang Shiyu looked at the troubled old man and thought for a while, then silently went over and held his hand. Now there was no way to take care of anything else. Even if she wanted to give water to her uncle and the others, she couldn't give them too much. After all, they only had a basket of water to carry from the city.
Even if there was still water, they didn't dare to take it out. The old man naturally knew this situation, so he kept thinking about what to do.
What else can I do? I look at the dry land and rivers around me, and the trees that have died due to lack of water. There is not a single bit of green, only yellow and white earth.
There is definitely no water around here. If you can find water, you will definitely see a touch of green. Now is the time when all things are reviving.
Wang Shiyu had no other choice. The only support she could get were the water bags and bamboo tubes that the old man left in his space. Any more was just unboiled water and could not be drunk directly.
Here, catching a cold or something can kill people instantly. It's horrible. If they were given raw water to drink directly, wouldn't it give them stomach upset? They wouldn't even know if they got infected or got sick.
She didn't dare to take out the water she brought from the modern era, because the modern era is not like the ancient times. The modern chemicals and air quality are far inferior to those in the ancient times. The water contaminated by bacteria is not suitable for people today to drink.
I carefully checked the mineral water in my space. The mineral water was okay, but it was not as sweet and delicious as the water I have now.
The old man also knew how much water he had stored. He had already drunk a small portion of it. There were still two or three months left to go, so he didn't dare drink too much and had to limit the amount.
After walking for so long, we didn't find any water source at all. It seemed that all the water was recycled by the earth and disappeared inexplicably.
The officers were also trying to find some water source, but the dryness around them made it seem like they wouldn't be able to find any water.
As the old man was walking, he held Wang Shiyu's hand and signaled her to put the lunch bag away for a while because she couldn't eat it yet.
