We will try to stay overnight in a village outside the city tonight. We were originally going to start cooking, but in order to save time, we all ate some dry food.
If you're hungry, there's dried meat and multi-grain steamed buns."
"Brother Hei, you must be tired from walking. Come up and lean on me for a while."
Xiu Ai now called Hei Mei to come up.
Xiushui only then began to pay attention to the issue of address.
"Sister, how come you've turned from sister to black brother when I woke up? Also, why are you walking on the road with a stick in your hand?"
Hei Mei smiled a little embarrassedly, but still hummed proudly. "It's because I'm charming that they changed their name to call me Hei Mei.
I was carrying a stick because I was on duty. There were so many scattered refugees along the way that the village chief said the whole village was like a soldier.
That is, all the senior citizens, boy soldiers, and militia soldiers on duty must be vigilant.
I am on duty with the Boy Scouts, and I am letting the younger ones rest in our carriage for a while."
Think about how many things have happened in the past few days, and many people really haven’t had enough rest.
For someone like Uncle Wen, who staggers when he walks, it is indeed a good thing to be able to rest for a short time during shift changes.
"Okay, that's good, but aren't you a little too young for a boy scout?"
Looking around her, there were many children between ten and fifteen years old. It was really rare to see girls of Heimei's age.
"Hmph, ambition doesn't depend on age. I'm smarter than many of them. Sis, I'm the smartest kid in our family."
After saying this, the little black girl slipped away to go on patrol again.
Xiushui was stunned for a while before she realized that Heinu was jealous because she had praised Changxuan earlier.
What a stubborn and unyielding character!
After asking the questions, Xiushui felt uncomfortable in her stomach.
She covered her stomach and thought to herself, could it be that Hatsuaki in this body is about to come?
"Gurgle..."
After another series of gurgling sounds, Xiu Ai giggled and stuffed a coarse cloth bun and a bag of dried meat into her hand.
"Sister Xiushui, you must be hungry, hehe, your stomach is growling loudly."
Hungry!
When it came to food, Xiushui realized how starving she really was. This meant she was overdrawing her mental energy, which might have also led to excessive physical exhaustion.
He grabbed a handful of candies from the space, stuffed them into Xiuai's hands and made a hushing gesture. The little girl smiled with her eyes curved.
She lowered her voice and leaned forward. "Thank you, sister. Thank you, Fourth Lady, for me too..."
Xiushui was stunned for a moment, then she understood. It must be Heimei who whispered to them that they had so many delicious foods, all because of her disappeared mother.
He didn't say anything, just touched Xiuai's little head, put a handful of candy into her bag, and signaled her to give one piece to each of the other boys and girls in the family.
The little girl responded with a "hmm", then quietly went to the side to make some noises, and then a sweet fragrance quietly filled the air.
Their car was in front and behind the Wen family, so they didn't have to worry about them smelling anything.
Xiushui took advantage of the night and quietly exchanged two large meat buns from the space to eat.
I still feel a bit guilty eating alone, so I have to think of ways to get more food for my family.
In fact, she thought that if she took out the food now, her family would just be surprised for a moment and would not do anything else.
After all, when she was running away, she could pick up claw tigers, barbed hook guns and other things, and then pick up other food... normal!
Seeing Xiuai feeding food to her two older children and smelling the sweet fragrance, Li's eyes sparkled.
Duan from the third family came over, and the two sisters-in-law had a very good relationship because their husbands were both carpenters.
At this moment, the two looked at each other and sighed tacitly. "Our Xiushui is really blessed."
"Well, it's also because of our fourth sister-in-law. I now believe that she will definitely come back. After all, the three children are so good, it is imperative that she comes back."
"See how Fourth Brother has been thinking about his sister-in-law these past three years. Who said he would get angry over marriage? It's obvious that Fourth Brother really misses Xinxiang."
When talking about Xinxiang's sister-in-law, both sisters-in-law wanted to say that they had never seen such a beautiful person.
To be honest, when they first saw their fourth brother's wife, they couldn't believe that such a beautiful woman could exist in a rural area.
"Speaking of which, was Fourth Brother's wife really sold by a human trafficker? If so, where is her hometown?"
"Forget it. Now that we've all fled the famine, let's forget about Fourth Brother's wife. Second Brother's wife, are you feeling uneasy? Why do I feel so uneasy?"
After being mentioned by Duan, Li also felt uneasy.
"I feel very uneasy too. Along the way, many refugees are looking at us like they want to eat us. And behind you, there are so many people staring at you!"
Earlier, those people just followed from a distance.
But as they walked, more and more people gathered behind their group.
They were all people in trouble, and it was impossible for them to drive them away.
However, they felt really uncomfortable being stared at by those greedy eyes.
After eating and drinking, Xiushui also planned to go and see how the scouts were on duty.
Now that she has night vision, patrolling is the best time for her to be of use.
Along the way, the guards were walking in front and behind, while the little scouts were running around in the middle.
It seems that this group of refugees is indeed full of energy. At least the children can still run around.
However, to her surprise, when she came to the back of the team, she found that the black girl was actually harassing the dog father who was on duty.
