After hearing that she could earn money for her family, Li Xiaohua stopped looking for death and turned around to help Wen Bibo run errands to get several other girls who had been defiled to find Xiushui together.
Xiushui gave them the moxibustion medicines that were difficult to handle and organize.
For example, bones may need to be ground or burned and then mixed with certain medicines.
There are also those that need to be ground into fine powder. Every girl cherishes this hard-earned opportunity to make money.
They knew that even if their families sympathized with them and felt pity for them, if they could not stand up for themselves and bring benefits to the family, in the long run, their family's love would be exhausted and they would just complain all over...
Now, the Wen family is willing to give them a chance to gain a foothold. If they don’t seize it, they would be fools.
That night after Xiushui returned, Chu Laowu and the children from the Qian, Li, and Luo families who had been protected by Zhang Xinxiang, also came to the Wen family under the guidance of their families to have dinner and express their gratitude.
During the meal, Chu Laowu took his second and third sons and almost kowtowed to Zhang Xinxiang to express his gratitude.
"Fourth brother, your family is really great, and your wife is even better.
The so-called "home of kindness" refers to your family. If it weren't for my fourth brother's wife, my two little brats would have died long ago, either being dragged away to feed the animals or becoming a blood sacrifice... wuwu...
Now, apart from the eldest and fourth sons who are still worrying me, I have fewer regrets about the others in my Chu family."
Several other families also expressed their gratitude, saying that although their entire families have not yet been reunited, at least they have found one or two children.
In such a disaster-stricken year, it was difficult to find descendants after being separated, which gave several families that were about to be cut off hope of survival.
After seeing off these grateful families, the Wen family went to bed early. Tomorrow, they would set off for the desert.
The journey will take at least seven to ten days. It is said that high temperatures and poisonous insects are very scary. It is not known whether they can make the journey smoothly.
However, the old lady was not too worried.
Ever since she knew that the eagle could summon hundreds of insects and communicate with them, she really wasn't too worried about crossing the sand.
After all, if the biggest safety hazard, poisonous insects, are gone, the only thing left is water.
If nothing goes wrong with the water source they are equipped with, it will be enough for ten days.
If something unexpected happens, to put it bluntly, her granddaughter still has a system space, which contains a large spring of clear water. She can then find a reason to take the water out.
It was because of this thought that the old lady slept well all night.
Zhang Xinxiang was the opposite. After hearing that her daughter had taken away the wealth of Prince Fu's mansion and forced Prince Fu to run away, she was still very worried.
“I had thought about which big family in the capital was the leader of this group, but I never thought that this leader would be the famous Prince Fu.
Moreover, he did such a disgusting thing as hybridizing humans and animals. What kind of perverted mind can be used to do such a thing?
If such a person is brought to light for investigation, he will become a pariah in the future. What we need to worry about now is his hidden connections.
Although most people may be persuaded, there are still a few stubborn people who will probably follow him and act according to his orders.
However, after our Xiu'er's disturbance, he really can't make too many troubles."
Although she was still vigilant, it was not as she had thought before. She was worried even when she was with her family.
Now she can be with her family, and she just needs to be a little careful in her daily life.
Because she was so excited, Zhang Xinxiang fell asleep quietly in the second half of the night after the man persuaded her with his physical strength.
Before going to bed, the only thing Zhang Xinxiang could think of was that the fourth brother was not behaving well anymore.
When I was at home, I never did anything inappropriate except at night.
Today, he was so good that he actually asked me to accompany him outside, and in the end...
Oh, you are so shameless.
Wen Laosi: Wife, it was you who pulled me outside to look at the moon and talk, but later on, who could control themselves and do it?
I haven't used it for several years, you have to check if I can still use it!
Well, on a moonlit night, the bond between husband and wife is truly wonderful. It seems I'll have to find some different places in the future.
Around four o'clock in the morning of the next day, the people of Houshan Village bid farewell to the residents of Shisha City and set out on their final journey to escape famine.
It was already dusk when they arrived at the yellow sandy land. The old village chief was panting and announced to the villagers with undiminished momentum.
"Fellow villagers of Houshan Village, as long as we conquer this stretch of sand, it will become our new home and a new beginning.
I just want to ask you, do you have the faith to walk across this land and wade through this sand?"
"have."
The loud and uniform response made the few wild birds that could hear it flutter upwards.
"Okay, let's rest for an hour now, set off at night, and rest on the sand during the day."
This is also what the camel drivers warned them: when marching in the desert, they can only do so in the morning and evening when it is still cool.
During the hottest days of noon and afternoon, we would bury ourselves in the sand and rest.
The camel drivers were ready. They had to chase away poisonous insects and fight against scorpions along the way.
However, to their surprise, after walking for three consecutive days, they did not see a single scorpion or even a single sand snake.
"How can this be so miraculous? I've been traveling through this desert for at least ten years, and never before has it been as smooth as this time."
"Yes, I've been walking for at least five years now, and every time I've been there, I've faced all sorts of trouble. They say the people of Houshan Village are assisted by gods. Could it be that they really have gods helping them?"
The five camel guides all sighed and admired the people of Houshan Village even more.
In the eyes of those who are used to living in the desert, the desert is a place that can swallow people at any time and anywhere.
Even though there were many local guides who were experienced in this journey, many of them died on this dangerous passage.
However, this time, the journey with the people of Houshan Village was so smooth that they felt that, except for the yellow sand all over the ground, it seemed no different from walking outside.
The promised poisonous insects and sand scorpions are gone, but nothing is there.
However, the danger of the desert does exist. When they were on the fifth day of the journey, near noon, and the group was tired and thirsty, someone screamed.
"What a huge oasis! What are those leaves? They look really pretty. They're even blooming. Wow, it's so huge."
