Everyone didn't care where they were, they just sat down wherever they could.
I couldn't even swallow the dry food, I was so tired.
Uncle Zhao and the other old men felt very sorry and stopped the women.
They went to collect firewood themselves, built a simple stove, set up a small pot, and cooked millet porridge for the children.
Jiayin wanted to take out some eggs, but there were too many people around her and she was afraid of being exposed. It was really confusing.
Fortunately, Mrs. Li understands the greedy little granddaughter.
She took out the salted eggs from somewhere and scooped out the yolks to serve with her granddaughter's porridge.
The remaining egg whites were given to my two grandsons.
Jiaxi's Anke was so happy that she walked around holding the eggshells and giving way to everyone in the family.
No one in the family is willing to eat it, but it's just a little salty taste for one person.
After a final round, the salted egg returned to Xi Jiaan's hands, and almost nothing was missing.
The two boys were facing each other, one bite and one bite, and they ate the sorghum flour pancakes.
Doctor Zhang was a guest, so naturally he also got a salty egg.
He saw the Li family in his eyes, and he liked this family even more.
So, with the excuse that it was too salty, he gave the remaining salted eggs to Li Laosi and Jiayi.
They exert the most strength along the way, so they need to eat something with a lot of salt, otherwise they will easily lose strength.
After Li Laosi finished eating in a few bites, he couldn't sit still, so he went to wander around.
Fortunately for him, he encountered a nest of rabbits.
Perhaps frightened by the crowd's movements, the female rabbit and her four or five little rabbits hid behind a tree and did not dare to move.
Li Laosi brought the whole family to see the Lord of Hell.
When I took it back, the people in the village were very happy.
There is a meaty meat festival in the evening. Although it is not easy to get meat, it is good to have some soup and rice.
With the temptation of dinner, everyone climbed up the mountain faster in the afternoon, successfully descended the mountain, and climbed halfway up the second mountain.
Before nightfall, everyone found a slightly flatter place.
Although there are many vines and thorns, the good thing is that there is a stream washed by a mountain spring not far away.
In order to prevent wild animals from coming to drink water, people cannot set up earthen stoves by the river.
But after shoveling a few pieces of turf, there was no delay in setting up a stove to boil water for cooking.
This time, instead of staying on both sides of the official road, in the dangerous mountains and forests, men, women, old and young were a little more cautious.
Most of the young men were completely unemployed, and men took over the tasks of collecting firewood in the woods.
Even by the creek, they were checked to make sure there were no water snakes or the like before they were allowed to play.
The women were so busy that they almost jumped up. It was rare that the water source was so convenient. In addition to cooking, they also had to boil more water and wash the children.
There is so much dust on the road, and the weather is so hot in autumn, that the little baby at home is almost turning into a loach.
Of course, except for Jiayin, she has been very clean since she was a child. She has to change her diaper immediately when it gets wet, and she won't eat without washing her hands.
Therefore, no matter how troublesome this journey was, Tao Hongying would scrub her every night.
Tao Hongying wanted to take the women to cook, and today it was left to Mrs. Li to give Jiayin a bath.
Uncle Zhao limped and helped bring the basin in, and Mrs. Li quickly took it.
"Brother Zhao, please take a rest. This kind of work can be called family benevolence and family justice."
Uncle Zhao waved his hand and responded with a wry smile.
"The children are tired from hiking and walking, but I am a loser. Fortunately, I can still do such a small thing."
Mrs. Li heard that something was wrong. She guessed that the old man felt that he was dragging everyone down, and she felt guilty.
She wanted to give some advice, but before she could speak, Uncle Zhao went out.
She could only sigh and think about asking the village chief to persuade her more when she had time.
They are all old brothers for many years, and they must be able to speak more thoughtfully.
Jiayin obediently asked grandma to take a bath. She didn't want to spill the water on the ground and the family would have to live in the shed at night.
She couldn't help with anything, so it would be best if she didn't cause any trouble.
Zhao Yuru walked to the door and whispered, "Mom, the little ones have nothing to eat. Look..."
Mrs. Li thought for a while and said, "It's better to dig a bowl of our thin noodles in the forest than outside. " , let's make some pimple soup. The children are full and can sleep well at night without making a fuss. Remember to bring an extra bowl of Miracle Doctor Zhang."
"I know, mother." Zhao Yuru quickly agreed, took the thin noodles and went to find Tao Hongying.
Tao Hongying was also happy. She washed and chopped the wild vegetables, and also tore and chopped some of the half-cooked rabbit meat in the pot next to her.
Bring half a pot of hot water to a boil, throw in the gnocchi, wild vegetables and rabbit meat and cook until thick and bubbling. Finally, add some salt and a few drops of sesame oil.
The hot and fragrant pimple soup is ready.
When the women from all the families saw it, they all blushed.
After all, they didn't bring anything at home, but their children followed the good news and ate Xiaozao.
Tao Hongying greeted them, "Hurry up and get the bowl, let it cool down before giving it to the child. Don't be embarrassed. You can't make the child suffer when you go out. Let the child eat well, coax him well at night, don't cry, don't make trouble, this is the forest." There shouldn't be too much noise here."
Everyone nodded quickly, quickly divided the soup, and went back to take care of the children.
Soon, adults will be able to eat too.
The rabbit family was chopped into pieces, ensuring that everyone could smell the meat.
Finally, a few more bonfires were lit around the camp, adding more manpower for the night watch.
Uncle Zhao and the other three old men urged to stay all night, because they sat on the sledge during the day and it was easier than others.
Everyone knew that the old men felt guilty, so they didn't stop them.
That night, everyone slept on tenterhooks, fearing that a big beast would come and cause trouble.
Fortunately, everything was safe and dawn came quietly as promised.
Jiayin didn't sleep well last night. She was thinking about one thing, that is, since chickens, ducks and geese can be raised in the space courtyard, why can't people live there.
There was no mule or donkey cart at home. After going down the mountain, it was still a problem for Uncle Zhao and the three old men to travel.
It would be great if they could be sent into space. Someone would help take care of the poultry and fields, which would save them the pain of traveling thousands of miles.
Unfortunately, I don't know if she didn't have enough mental strength or didn't have the right time.
Not to mention sending the old men in, not even she, the homeowner, can get in!
If you don't sleep well at night, you won't be able to hold on during the day.
After a simple breakfast, Jiayin sat down in the basket and fell asleep.
In their sleep, everyone climbed up the mountain and descended the mountain in one breath.
When they saw the official road which was not that flat and wide again, everyone cheered excitedly.
"We've come around, we've come around!"
"Let those thieves strangle their necks and ask for money, huh, we've come over the mountain just the same!"
The old and young all looked proud, completely losing their frustration and frustration blocking the city gate. despair.
They were the first batch of refugees to come over the mountains, so there were only horse-drawn carriages and mule carts on the official road.
Hearing the noise, many people opened their windows and looked over.
Some people have curiosity in their eyes, others have contempt in their eyes.
The village chief wanted to take everyone to rest for a while, but there was faint movement on the mountain behind him.
Needless to say, other refugees who followed them over the mountains were about to arrive.
