"Grandma, grandma, I have a way to sneak into the city, hehe... We don't have to spend so much money on the entrance fee."
"Really? Your immortal snake is here again. You can fly in with the milk.
Oh, my granddaughter, I know you are the most filial, the most obedient, the most beautiful, the most capable, the most virtuous, and the most...
Hurry up, take me to experience the immortal cultivation! Haha, flying and floating, shuttling back and forth in the clouds and mist... clang clang..."
Xiushui looked at the old lady dancing with a complicated expression. Her grandmother still had the dream of traveling the world with a sword in her heart.
"So you're the one who dreams of becoming an immortal. But unfortunately, that immortality snake is impossible to ride. It costs money.
I have my own mount, and my Eagle is free."
The old lady's happy smile froze, and she finally wiped her face helplessly.
"Okay, money is a jerk. It's hard to earn back once it's spent. We need to save every penny we can. What's an Eagle Eagle?"
"The Eagle is the Ghost-Faced Eagle I told you about before. It has grown up in another place and can lay eggs now."
"My goodness, we've only been here for a few days. Have those eggs and other things you left there for foster care grown into chicks?"
When eggs were mentioned, Xiushui slapped her head, meaning she had forgotten something.
So, do those foster animals include chickens hatched from eggs?
Furious, she quickly glanced at her own ranch. It seemed... it seemed about the same. So, she had wronged Tong?
Tongzi rubbed his own child and said, "My child, it's a good thing that mom remembered about the chicken, otherwise that black-hearted man would definitely come after me.
My dear, Blackheart is the most terrifying existence in this world, you can’t provoke her…”
Looking at the group of energetic chickens, Xiushui breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I didn’t blame Tong, otherwise I would have to find excuses to coax the stupid and cute Tong.
After thinking about it, she secretly told her grandmother about her idea of bringing Hei Mei with her.
"Take the little girl with you! That's fine, she's quite shrewd, so go ahead and take her if you want. We're going into town at night anyway."
But Xiu'er, I think you are becoming more and more like an older sister. But I have a question, we are both younger siblings, why do you care more about Hei Mei?
Chang Tong is the youngest, and you don’t seem to care about him much.”
Xiushui was stunned: Is she really that obvious? Changtong is very well behaved and quiet, always likes to run around with Changkang, Changxuan and the others.
Hei Mei has a bit of personality, but she is very nice to her and a little lacks love. She seems to really prefer Hei Mei.
But is this something she can control?
The grandfather and grandson discussed it, and the old lady changed her tone after she returned.
"Ever since we fled from famine, the second son has been the eldest son in the family.
This time, entering the city requires strength and carefulness, and the second child is just right.
So this time, the second brother and the other villagers will go into the city together. Those of you who are going to the city should clean up quickly. We are too dirty and we are afraid that they will not let us in.
Wen Laoer didn't expect that he would be given such an important responsibility. He was both excited and nervous for a moment.
"Mom, I, I will definitely complete the task."
"Everyone think about it later, and then Lao Liu will make a shopping list for me."
When Wen Liu heard this, confusion flashed across his eyes. Why was it given to mother instead of directly to second brother?
However, he still had to obey his mother's orders.
"Okay, Mom."
At that moment, the Wen family went to discuss what they wanted to buy in the city.
Other villagers were also discussing going into the city.
Finally, many people who didn’t have much money found the old village chief and asked people coming to the city to help bring some necessities.
Things like salt.
There is also food, some of which must be purchased within an affordable range.
Among Chu Laowu and his group of people who escaped in the middle of the journey, someone must enter the city.
However, considering the cost was too high, Boss Qian finally went into the city to purchase on behalf of several families.
Among the villagers, each family finally chipped in a few coins and sent two relatively smart representatives into the city.
Therefore, the final decision was that only four people would pull the cart into the city early tomorrow morning.
Everyone is waiting for donations from rich people tonight.
But to be on the safe side, the whole village chose a place to camp far away from the city.
It just so happened that there were quite a few woods near the city.
Although there were some sparse people stationed in the woods, the villagers still found a place to stay by their own ability.
When others saw this group of people coming in, they picked out a dense forest, took out the various straw blocks they had hanging around, tied them together a few times, and made a long cylindrical object, which they then tied to the tree...
All the onlookers were stunned.
Until someone couldn't stand it anymore and had to go in to rest.
Only then did this group of people realize that the straw things that people tied, carried and pushed around could actually be used for sleeping at night.
Looking at those people who were tied to trees and rocking to sleep, many people shed tears of envy.
They were also fleeing famine, so why didn’t they think of weaving something like this out of grass!
Having that thing is definitely better than sleeping on the ground, getting bitten by bugs and kissed by snakes and rats from time to time!
Some who were quick to see the opportunity turned around and looked for various kinds of grass, and then came back to ask the people of Houshan Village for advice.
They are all refugees from famine, and the people of Houshan Village are willing to teach those who sincerely ask for advice.
Just like that, the refugees who were originally wary of each other temporarily let down their guard because they wanted to learn how to weave sleeping bags, and thus a friendly exchange was established.
Just after I had rested, someone reminded me that I could go line up for food.
Looking at the time, it was around 3:30 p.m. Well, it wasn't too late, but it was also lunchtime. But who says the donor is the boss?
