The thing was covered in thorns, and all nine of its hands were red. But when she thought of the children, she couldn't help but keep picking.

As long as it was mature, she didn't let go of any of them, and in the end she only picked about thirty.

"Come on, pad your stomach first."

"Mother, what is this?" Hua Yin woke up and asked.

"Prickly pear, sour, slightly sweet, you can eat it, come to my mother to dismantle the thorn for you, don't do it, it will hurt." Tilt Jiu carefully removed the thorns on it one by one.

Being a mother for the first time, it feels amazing, and I always want to give the best to the baby.

"Come on, eat."

Tilt Jiu put the processed prickly pear into Hua Yang's hand, and Hua Yang was already hungry. He looked at Tilt Jiu and saw her expectant eyes, so he put the prickly pear in his hand to his lips and bit it gently.

The sour chirping one tastes better than the bark.

Huayang took a small sip of the juice of the prickly pear, and the acid made him mouthful, and he was not thirsty for a moment.

Tilt Jiu made a few more and gave them to Huayang.

Huayin hadn't woken up yet, and Tilt Jiu had eaten a few by himself, feeling pantothenic acid in his stomach.

Nor is it the way to go.

Something else has to be done.

It's autumn right now, and this semi-wasteland mountain, not to mention wild things, even wild vegetables can't be found.

It's been a drought for years, and the bark on the mountains has been pulled down and eaten away.

She had nothing to eat but the prickly pears on her hands.

But if they don't find food today, they'll starve to death here.

Tilt Jiu stood up and observed the semi-wasteland mountain, the trees on the mountain were also wilting, and a few branches and leaves fluttered listlessly in the wind.

It is said to be autumn, but in fact the sun is very hot during the day.

Tilt Jiu looked up at the sky, the sun was hiding in a layer of clouds, printing a shadow, which could be regarded as giving her and the child a moment of coolness.

"There's a col ahead of me with a spring in it." The ghost spirit flapped its little wings and flew beside Leanjiu.

The two of them are a partnership, so naturally they have to assist each other in completing tasks. Ghosts and spirits cannot be seen or touched by others, and they play a major role at critical moments.

Hearing this, he quickly planned a route for himself in his heart.

Suddenly, Qian Jiu felt that someone was pulling her clothes, she looked down, and suddenly met Huayang's clear eyes.

"Mother, let's go find water, tomorrow the jar will dry up." Huayang whispered.

Tilt Jiu touched Huayang's hair and said gently, "Okay." ”

For Huayang, the jug is his net worth baby, and when he goes out, Huayang holds it in his arms.

There were probably a few drops of water left in it.

That's it, Huayang didn't dare to turn the jar upside down, because for him, a drop of water was also precious.

Huayin hadn't woken up yet, and Tilt Jiu carried her in his arms as usual, with prickly pears in the back basket.

One person and two children crossed the hill and entered the col. The current has been intermittent and will all dry up in a few days.

Huayang gave the jar to Tilt Jiu, and Tilt Jiu quickly took the jar and put it under the rock.

There is a spring here, and the land is not so cracked. If it were elsewhere, the thinnest crack in the ground would have been able to reach into the palm of your hand.

"Ah Yang, are you afraid that there are jackals, tigers and leopards in this deep mountain?" Tilt Nine pointed to the depths of the mountains and forests.

"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid of my mother." Ah Yangse shrank his head and said to Tilt Jiu.

At this time, Hua Yin in Tilt Jiu's arms woke up, and the little girl woke up to find that she was in her mother's arms, not crying.

"Mother, Xiaoyin is hungry."

Tilt Jiu untied her, smashed the prickly pear pit, and fed her little by little.

Hua Yin was very brave, even if the things in her mouth were sour, she didn't say a word, just frowned slightly.

"Ah Yin is really good." Tilt Jiu smiled slightly, but the next moment, her smile froze on her face.

"Roar!"

A tiger roar spread through the forest, and there was suddenly more horror in the air.

"Mother."

Huayang cried, shouted, ran to Tilt Jiu, and hugged her.

So that he has a sense of security.

Tilt Jiu threw away the bowl, patted Huayang's shoulder, quickly put the back basket on his back, and lifted Huayang, who was not a few pounds, into the back basket with his backhand.

and handed over Huayin to Huayang in the same way.

Huayin was so frightened that he even forgot to cry, and Qian Jiu gently comforted: "Don't be afraid, my mother is here, don't make a noise." ”

It didn't take more than half a minute

She understood that something was coming.

Three steps turned into two steps, and he didn't have time to take care of the jug, so he copied the sickle, and climbed up a big tree, and just climbed a zhang high, he saw a skinny tiger crawling out of the grass.

Seeing this, Tilt Jiu stepped up to climb the tree, and the vicious tiger saw that the prey was getting farther and farther away from him, and hurriedly pounced, but Tilt Jiu had already climbed a foot and a half, and it almost pounced.

Hua Yangdi's hands were clinging to Tian Jiu's shoulders, and judging from the strength of his hands that were getting harder and harder, he was extremely afraid. Huayin's eyes were covered by tears, she didn't dare to cry, for fear that if she cried, she wouldn't be able to see her mother.

Tilt Jiu felt that his body was a little uncontrollable, and he was afraid of falling, so he quickly found a branch to stay.

"Ah Yang, hug your mother tightly, don't hold the back basket between your feet, your mother should take off the back basket and tie it to a tree."

"Ah Yang knows." Hua Yang obediently took off the rope on one of Tilt Jiu's shoulders with one hand, and then helped take off the other shoulder.

Tilt Nine held the trunk of the tree with one hand and dragged the back basket with one hand.

She gradually lost her strength, but she endured it, her nerves tensed, and she didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

No one knows how difficult it is for her right now.

If she doesn't pay attention to it, Huayang and Huayin may fall, and what she will lose will be the whole world.

"Hold on tight, don't let go at all." Tilt Jiu slowly took off the back basket.

She looked down and saw that the tiger below was eyeing each other, tearing open a sharp mouth from time to time, as if it was about to swallow them at any moment.

Tilt Jiu sat down slowly, holding the trunk of the tree with one hand and holding the rope of the basket by the way, so as not to let it fall. Then he dragged Hua Yang with his backhand, let him go to his side, and left Hua Yin in the back basket.

"Holding the branches, my mother has to fix the back basket now." Leaning Jiu's chin moved, pointing to the branch that stood out beside Hua Yang.

Huayang nodded, although they were afraid, but now they were safe, as long as they were in the trees. Huayang's tears still couldn't stop flowing.

"Mother, is the big tiger gone?" Hua Yin stretched out her little hand and wiped her eyes, she shrunk into the back basket, a small ball, and couldn't see the situation below.

"Not yet, Ah Yin rest assured, my mother will beat the big tiger away." While comforting Hua Yin, Tilt Jiu pulled the strip of cloth that he tied to his legs and fixed the back basket on the branch.

Their current location is relatively safe in this tree, with a three-pronged mouth, just enough to accommodate the back basket.
