Towards the line, night rest.

The step by step road is measured by footsteps.

Xiao Xiaoxiang called Sang Yu in a milky voice: "Sister Sang Yu, do you have sore feet?" ”

Sang Yu pursed her lips, wanting to cry without crying: "It hurts, it seems to be blistering." ”

Jiang Chunyu's eyes were red in distress, but she wanted to bring a package and dry food, so she couldn't hold her hand to hug Xiaoxiaoxiang at all.

And Meng Qinghu was so burned that he couldn't even take care of himself, let alone take care of Sang Yu.

In this way, Meng Qinghu was still divided into a bag of things.

There was a very strong bundle of rope in it, which he had turned out in the cab, and which he thought might be useful, and he had to take it with him.

Sang Yu and Xiao Xiaoxiang carried a small bucket of water by themselves, and walked staggeringly, and the lunch box and spoon they ate in the bucket were placed.

Meng Qinghu walked in front, holding a branch in his hand and knocking it. He was followed by Sang Yu, followed by Xiao Xiaoxiang, and at the end was Jiang Chunyu, who was also holding a wooden stick in his hand. It can be used as a weapon, and it can be used as a crutch.

"I saw wild fruit over there, red ones, which should be edible."

Sang Yu stood on tiptoe and pointed to a green bush in the distance.

Jiang Chunyu looked over suspiciously, she only saw a relatively dark green, and there were a few trees next to it. It's too far away to see any wild fruit.

"Then let's go over there, there happens to be a tree over there, and we can rest and eat something for a while."

Meng Qinghu believed Sang Yu's words very much, and turned around and walked in the direction Sang Yu pointed out.

Jiang Chunyu and Xiao Xiaoxiang have no opinion, as long as they walk in the direction of Spring City. As for where to go and how to go, they don't care at all.

Halfway through, Sang Yu spoke again: "Brother, be careful, there is a snake in front." ”

Meng Qinghu stopped and looked around: "How many?" ”

"Just one."

Meng Qinghu stopped and asked, "Is it big, is it poisonous?" ”

Sang Yu's thin white finger pointed at a bush not far from Meng Qinghu's feet: "It's not big, it's not poisonous." It's in the grass up ahead, you be careful. ”

Meng Qinghu picked up the stick, walked lightly to the grass and stopped, and looked over. Sure enough, a snake was coiled in the grass, looking at him with its head held high.

One person and one snake, facing each other, no one dared to move first.

His Hidden Arrows were gone, only an empty crossbow. It was still Sang Yu's Hidden Arrow that was divided into four for him, and now unless it was a critical situation, he decided not to use this life-saving Hidden Arrow easily.

Meng Qinghu carefully bent down to pick up a lump of dirt, threw it away, and threw it on the snake accurately. The serpent immediately raised its head and assumed a posture of response.

When it was too late, the wooden stick in Meng Qinghu's hand swept and hit the snake's seven inches at once, knocking its entire body into the air. It fell on the wasteland on the side, and fell to pieces.

Before the snake could recover its strength, Meng Qinghu's second stick followed and smashed over, this time smashing firmly on the snake's head, directly smashing its snake head into the mud.

Meng Qinghu didn't care whether it was dead or not, he knocked it with several sticks one after another, and didn't stop until the snake didn't move.

Jiang Chunyu watched with horror as Meng Qinghu knocked a snake to death with a few sticks, and waited until Meng Qinghu picked up the small snake in Sang Yu's mouth to show everyone. She compared the snake from a distance with her hand, and muttered in her heart, the snake that is the length of an adult and the thickness of a child's thin arm is not loud? Sang Yu, this kid is also a bold girl.

Not far away, there were a few willow trees with crooked necks, and Meng Qinghu walked in front of him with a snake: "Let's go and rest in the shade of the tree over there, this snake can be cooked and you can have a full meal." ”

When they ate the rats, they all refused, and now they eat the snakes, and the three of them are silent.

Snake meat is also meat, and it is better than nibbling on dry food every day.

What's more, their dry food is running out.

Meng Qinghu dragged the snake in front, and Xiaobai jumped around behind to step on the snake's tail. Sang Yu watched Xiaobai playing there, and instead of being afraid, he showed a smile on his little face.

When Meng Qinghu hung the snake on a branch next to him and began to peel it, Sang Yu calmly took the bucket of water they fetched water, and prepared to load the snake for Meng Qinghu.

Picking up the keg, she also asked Jiang Chunyu's opinion: "Aunt Chunyu, let's use this keg to cook snakes, right?" ”

What can Jiang Chunyu say, it's good to have to eat, she can't say it's better to throw it away, I don't dare to eat snake meat!

I don't know if it's Meng Qinghu's indifference, or Sang Yu's calm face, Xiao Xiaoxiang didn't feel afraid. He excitedly followed behind Meng Qinghu, handed him things, scooped water, and acted like a qualified little helper.

Seeing that the three children were bolder than him, Jiang Chunyu's face was a little hot. As an adult, he is not as good as these three children.

Sang Yu watched Meng Qinghu chop the skinned snake into pieces, wash it, throw it into a small iron bucket and start cooking.

She stood up and pulled Xiaoxiaoxiang to turn her head and said to everyone, "Let's go pick fruit." ”

Jiang Chunyu saw that Meng Qinghu didn't stop her, and she didn't say anything, but turned out the clothes in her bag and began to sew them.

Soon, the two children came running from the bushes, each with a small pile of red fruits.

Jiang Chunyu asked with some suspicion: "Can this be eaten?" ”

Meng Qinghu also asked Meng Sangyu: "Can I eat it?" ”

Sang Yu, who was counting the fruits with Xiaoxiaoxiang, nodded, grabbed a fruit and walked over and stuffed it into his brother's mouth: "It's okay, it's just not sweet and a little sour." ”

Meng Qinghu said that Sang Yu could eat it, and he believed it. I took the fruit in my mouth and nibbled on it.

Xiao Xiaoxiang also learned from Mulberry Elm, grabbed a fruit and stuffed it into her mother's mouth.

Jiang Chunyu raised his hand to take the fruit, but there was a question mark on his face, why do you have to ask your sister about everything? Why does my sister know everything?

She's just a year older than Little Looking!

What she didn't know was that in Meng Qinghu's heart, her sister was a genius child, very smart, smarter than everyone else.

The fruit is about the size of a small apple, a little sweet, and a little sour.

Sang Yu and Xiao Xiaoxiang both ate two, Jiang Chunyu and Meng Qinghu only ate one, so they pretended to dislike the sour and refused to eat again.

It is rare to eat this kind of natural wild fruit, Jiang Chunyu and Meng Qinghu habitually eat less, and try to leave it for the two younger children.

The remaining few mulberry elms were packed and handed to Jiang Chunyu, even if it was sour, it could be eaten.

Jiang Chun was in charge of food, and she carefully put the fruit in another iron bucket, so that she could eat it when she was hungry and thirsty on the way.

The snake soup quickly boiled to a boil, and the milky white soup and rich aroma wafted in the sky.

Sang Yu took a deep breath and shouted happily: "It's so fragrant, why is the snake soup as fragrant as the chicken soup!" ”

She had eaten snake meat, so she wasn't afraid.

For her, snakes are just food, like any other meat food. As for why she doesn't eat mice, it's because she doesn't like mice, and rats often steal seeds she likes.

Jiang Chunyu had never eaten snake meat, and he didn't expect that snake meat would taste so fragrant when it was burned. Originally, I was still a little repulsed in my heart, but now I am all curious and want to taste it.

Either way, it's better than being hungry.

With nothing to do in her hands, she simply stood up and looked around, ready to find a few edible wild vegetables.

Waiting for her to come over with the cleaned wild vegetables, Meng Qinghu scooped the snake meat into the lunch box with a spoon on the side, and Sang Yu and Xiao Xiaoxiang looked at the snake meat by the iron bucket.

"This must be delicious, I can smell the fragrance!"

Yin Hong's small mouth said bably, Xiao Xiaoxiang just watched from the side, and he nodded whatever Sang Yu said.

"Brother, can I try one first?"

Jiang Chunyu blushed a little for his son, but he didn't open his mouth to stop his son's request.

She saw Meng Qinghu carefully take out a piece of snake meat, blow it and stuff it into Xiao Xiaoxiang's mouth, and clip another piece to Sang Yu. The two of them were very happy to steal food, covering their mouths, and their eyes were smiling into a line.

What a child, when he has a bite of delicious food, he feels very happy and happy.

Jiang Chunyu's eyes turned red, she quickly turned around, turned her back to them, and pretended to squat on the ground to dig a wild vegetable.

It wasn't until she took a few deep breaths and suppressed her surging emotions that she stood up as if nothing had happened.

"I dug up the wild vegetables and put them in the soup."

The delicious thing is the snake meat soup, a big pot of soup, and the four people divided the snake meat and began to gnaw it. The rest of the snake soup threw two handfuls of wild vegetables picked by Jiang Chunyu and two biscuits from the base.

After gnawing on the snake meat, everyone fished out the wild vegetables and biscuits, and one person held a lunch box and sat down to eat in the mottled shade of the tree and sweated profusely.

They were a little full of food this time, and the comfort of their bodies made everyone have a lazy demeanor and didn't want to move.

Jiang Chunyu packed up the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the scorching sun and asked, "Let's sleep here and wait for the sun to be less scorching before leaving?" ”

Meng Qinghu also looked around and nodded.

It is a slightly higher dirt slope with shade and a cool breeze. It's so hot, no one wants to walk under the hot sun. Just sleep in the shade of a tree and wait for the sun to be less scorching before leaving.

Sang Yu happily turned out an old blanket and spread it on the sand.

"Xiaoxiaoxiang, you sleep here, I sleep here."

Xiao Xiaoxiang came over obediently and lay on the side. Sang Yu took out another piece of clothing and put it on his head and lay down.

Jiang Chunyu thought it was the light eyes leaking from the shade of the tree, she also covered Xiao Xiaoxiang with a thin dress, and she also took one to cover the top of her head, and lay down on Xiao Xiaoxiang's side, and sure enough, she felt much better without light.

Meng Qinghu stepped aside and lay down not far from the direction of Sang Yu.

Everyone slept in a daze, and in less than an hour, Meng Sangyu suddenly turned over and sat up and shouted, "Brother, Aunt Chunyu, someone is here." ”

Meng Qinghu jumped up, his face was unusually red, and he didn't know if it was because of the hot weather or because his body was hot. When he got up, his head was a little dizzy, and his body shook twice before he stood firm.

Everyone followed Sang Yu's little hand and looked in the direction of the road in the distance, and sure enough, they could barely see that there seemed to be a few black spots.

Meng Qinghu squatted beside Sang Yu, took out a wrench from his bag and grabbed it, and looked at the black dot vigilantly: "Sang Yu, can you see who they are?" ”

Sang Yu said seriously: "It's not a person from the base, but it's not a mutant either. Their clothes were very shabby, as if they had walked for a long time. ”

Meng Qinghu and Jiang Chunyu exchanged glances silently, no matter who it was, they were all dangerous as adults and three children.

Jiang Chunyu looked around, this is an endless wilderness, there are no alpine forests. Only the place where they rested was a few very thin trees, almost unobstructed.

It seems that this group of people is coming for them, and what the purpose is, it is not known for the time being.

Meng Qinghu went to the side to pull the rope, and he and his grandfather had learned to make traps to catch prey.

If these people really want to do something, he can at least be a little guarded and not too passive.

Jiang Chunyu quickly separated the food from the fruits picked by Meng Qinghu, and prepared a little on each of the four people.

The food is already scarce, and it is basically impossible for one person to see a little, even if they are strong, they can keep an extra portion.

Sang Yu looked at their big bag, which was full of screwdrivers and all kinds of messes. These things can be used as weapons when necessary, and if they fall into the hands of others, they may be tools to kill them.

She picked up the bag and dragged it to the fruit-picking bushes, where there was a pit dug out by an unknown animal. He threw the bag in, pushed the floating soil on it, stepped on it vigorously, grabbed a few handfuls of dead grass and threw it on.

After a closer look, I could hardly see anything unusual, so I walked back satisfied.

By the time she ran back on her little legs, the group had already come closer.
