Fortunately, those two people were also scared, so they changed their route halfway and took the initiative to stay away from Li's house.

The Li family had another day of hard hiking, and when they came to the bottom of a hillside, seeing that the sun was about to set, Mrs. Li directly stopped the donkey cart and let everyone rest.

After a day of exposure to the sun, the Li family has already had a dry mouth, and several half-sized children are wilted, like a few shallots that lack water.

Jiayin has been covered by Tao Hongying, but she hasn't been exposed to the sun, but she is still a little depressed and unenergetic.

"Mother, I'll cook." Zhao Yuru picked up the things on the donkey cart, handed the kettle to Tao Hongying, and then took the millet to cook.

Tao Hongying saw that Jiayin's little mouth was dry, and fed her some water to moisten her throat.

"Oh, why is my head so confused..."

Seeing that she was about to cook again, Wu Cuihuaer was grinding beside the donkey cart, covering her head and humming.

Mrs. Li knocked on the edge of the donkey cart with a cigarette bag and pot, and asked her expressionlessly, "Second daughter-in-law, what's wrong?" ”

"Mother, I'm probably suffering from heat stroke, I have to rest for a while..."Wu Cuihua'er's voice was empty, and she sat in the shadow of the donkey cart as she spoke, and deliberately squeezed Tao Hongying.

Mrs. Li glanced at Wu Cuihua'er, she was really uncomfortable, she couldn't see it? It's just thinking about being lazy!

But at this time, they were on the way to escape from the wilderness, where did they have extra strength to discipline their daughter-in-law, she simply snorted coldly, "If you feel uncomfortable, you can sit, eat less than half a bowl of rice for a while, and clean your intestines!" ”

Wu Cuihua'er's body stiffened, but she still hummed and refused to get up, anyway, she was so tired that she died, and Zhao Yuru would let her do it if she wanted to.

"Mother, I'll help the third sister-in-law." Tao Hongying had just breastfed Jiayin, and when she saw Wu Cuihua'er's appearance, she got up directly, carried Jiayin, who was full of food and drink, behind her back, and wrapped it in a cloth bag.

After speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Li to stop her, she went over to help Zhao Yuru.

Jiayin was only born a few days ago, Tao Hongying has not yet been confined, and of course her body is not happy, but there are only three daughters-in-law at home, Wu Cuihuaer is lazy, and she asks Zhao Yuru to serve her all day long, and she has to cook, and she can't help it.

This year, it's good to be alive, where to talk about good confinement.

Tao Hongying's lower abdomen was a little painful, but it was not to the point where she couldn't bear it, she held Tuo Jiayin's little buttocks, squatted by the fire to add firewood.

Zhao Yuru had long been accustomed to Wu Cuihua'er's lazy behavior, and when she saw Tao Hongying coming to help, she wanted to persuade her to go back, but she swallowed back when the words came to her mouth.

said in vain, Tao Hongying will definitely not go back when she comes, she still works hard, so as to make her younger siblings easier.

"Hongying, you sit, I'll go over there and see if I can find some wild vegetables." Zhao Yuru found a stone for Tao Hongying to sit on, and then took a small shovel and went to the hay on the hillside to touch the wild vegetables.

Jiayin was lying on her mother's back, looking east and west with big dark and moist eyes, at this time, the Li family was busy with the things at hand, but no one paid attention to them, so she began to make small movements again.

She first babbled twice in her mother's ear, Tao Hongying hurriedly turned her head to look at her daughter, and reached out to hug her in front of her to untie the small cloth towel.

"What's wrong, Fu Niu'er? Is it pee? ”

And Jiayin took advantage of this moment, his little hand seemed to be waving indiscriminately, but in fact, he secretly spilled the millet in the space into the pot.

As soon as she finished tinkering, Tao Hongying, who confirmed that the diaper was dry, hugged her in her arms again.

Like a thief who had just finished doing something bad, Jiayin hurriedly reached out to touch Tao Hongying's ear, and spit out two saliva bubbles.

"I'm hungry just after eating, why do you look like a little pig?" Tao Hongying was amused by her daughter, adjusted her posture and lifted her clothes to breastfeed.

After these days, Jiayin has long been accustomed to breastfeeding, and he is not ambiguous at the moment, and he opens his mouth and sucks heavily.

Zhao Yuru didn't dig up wild vegetables, and when she came back and saw Tao Hongying breastfeeding, she helped her to sit in the shade of the tree next to her, and then took a long wooden spoon and stirred the bottom of the pot, saving it from being mushy.

As a result, when the long wooden spoon reached into the pot and stirred, she was stunned.

Half a bowl of millet, why is the porridge so thick? It's almost inseparable from dry rice, and it's still half a pot?

Zhao Yuru glanced up at Tao Hongying, who was unconscious and still teasing Fu Niu'er and giggling.

Zhao Yuru was full of wonder and cooked the porridge, and when it was ready to be distributed to the Li family, she asked them to eat with a strange face.

"Mother, how much rice did you give Yuru? Why is today's porridge so thick, or is it a big bowl? Li Laosan took the bowl, a little surprised, but more worried. There is not much food left at home, so what will I do in the future if I eat so much at one meal?

Mrs. Li was the first to take over the rice bowl, and of course she found this porridge strange.

After all, it was half a bowl of millet that she scooped for Zhao Yuru herself, which was definitely not enough for the Li family to share a large bowl of thick porridge.

"Shut up and eat your meal." Mrs. Li endured the excitement in her heart, lowered her head and drank the porridge, and scolded her son.

Li Laosan was stunned for a moment, and vaguely pondered the taste, subconsciously glanced at Jiayin who was lying on the side playing with his fingers, and hurriedly lowered his head and drank porridge.

Of course, others didn't dare to speak up...

This meal was a rare full meal for the Li family, but it was also the most silent meal.

However, their eyes couldn't be controlled, and they kept falling on the white and fat Jiayin's face.

Coincidentally, everyone blamed Fu Niu'er for this evil matter, and it must be the blessing of this child, and the whole family was stained again.

After the meal, Mrs. Li hugged the good news, she couldn't like it, and she kept screaming.

"Fu Niu'er, grandma's little Fu Niu'er, you are only so old, grandma will follow you to enjoy happiness! Grandma is so happy!"

Jiayin's proud hand dance, which made the old lady laugh more and more, Jiaxi and Jia'an danced on the side, hugging their sister, maybe they could pick up eggs...

In this way, every time Jiayin took advantage of Tao Hongying's help to cook, he secretly put the rice grain stored in the small courtyard of the space into the pot.

The Li family ate the food that Jiayin had added, and ran all the way, not only did they not lose weight, but several young men even grew a lot.

"Mother! Dock! The pier is right ahead! ”

Half a month later, the Li family finally arrived at the dock, and Li Lao Er went to inquire about the news, and soon ran back like crazy, ecstatic to report the good news with the whole family.

The Li family was relieved, their eyes were red, and they finally saw the light of day after many days of escaping. As long as you can find a boat heading south, you can get to Kyoto in half a month.

Everyone quickened their pace, but when they really came to the dock, the scene they saw with their own eyes was like a basin of cold water, splashed on their heads, and poured them cold.

There are boats on the docks, but there are also countless people who have fled the famine.

The boats belonged to rich and noble families, and they went south along the waterway to escape the war, and when they saw the victims on the dock, they wanted to hide far away, let alone let them take a boat.

"Please, sir, give us a ride, we are willing to be cattle and horses, just to live..."There were those who knelt on the dock and begged the rich people on the boat, but the rich people were so stingy that they would not look at them.
