When the other families saw Xu Yin eating with hot water, they pursed their lips, and they also formed a circle to make a fire, and their firewood was picked up nearby.

The weather is dry and dry, and the withered grass and branches in the nearby fields are easy to pick up, but they are not as resistant to burning as Xu Yin's old wooden stakes.

Fortunately, there were many of them, and the least of them were five or six people, leaving one or two to look after the luggage and find stones to build an earthen stove, and the others went out to collect firewood, and made a few round-trips, and they were enough tonight.

Xu Yin was observing them with her peripheral vision, and they were also peeking at Xu Yin.

The head of one of the families came over and accosted Xu Yin: "Little brother, where are you going?" Don't get me wrong, I just want to ask if we are on the same road, my family is going to Dongxuan Mansion to join relatives, if we are on the same road, we can still take care of each other along the way. ”

Xu Yin's heart moved slightly: Dongxuan Mansion? That should be in the east.

"I wanted to go south." She said after a moment's silence.

"Nanling Mansion? That's the same direction as them. Alas, I thought I could have more company. The middle-aged man sighed with a smirk.

The two families were not far away, so they naturally heard it, and asked Xu Yin in a loud voice: "Little brother, you also went to Nanling Mansion?" That's exactly together. ”

Of these two, one went to Nanling Mansion to seek refuge with his nephew; There is also a family where the eldest aunt and grandmother married in Nanling Mansion.

"Nope." Xu Yin smiled and shook her head, "I just wanted to say that I originally planned to go to Nanling Mansion, but I temporarily remembered that my family has a distant relative in Dongxuan Mansion, but I don't know where his family lives, so I am hesitating." ”

She saw that there were many people in those two families, in addition to brothers and sisters, there were also cousins and in-laws, and the two families combined had more than 20 people.

In case of a bad thought along the way, she has no problem protecting herself, but there are still two cubs, and she will regret it if something goes wrong.

If you really want to be together, you still have to choose a small number of people and a simple family structure.

"Hey! What's this! The middle-aged man who spoke at the beginning said, "When you arrive in Dongxuanfu City, I will ask my relative to inquire for you." ”

Xu Yin took the opportunity to say: "Thank you big brother!" ”

"Little brother's surname?" The other party saw more companions, so he introduced the five members of the family, "My name is Wang Da Niu, and it is my humble Jing Feng and my eldest daughter-in-law who are burning the fire, which are my father and my two sons." ”

Xu Yin arched her hand: "Hello Brother Wang, my name is Xu Yingying, this is my second brother and third sister." ”

“……”

Hearing her casually rambling name, Jiro twitched the corners of his mouth.

Xu Yin continued: "We also have a big brother who is fighting at the border, and I received a letter from him a few days ago, and I have made a meritorious service!" It's a pity that he won't be able to return to his hometown until the New Year, and now his family is so poor that he can't even drink saliva, so he has to take his younger brothers and sisters to find a way to make a living elsewhere first. ”

When he heard that he had made meritorious contributions in the war, everyone was envious.

In these years, in addition to being an official by scholars, there is also a shortcut to killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions.

But the sword and gun have no eyes, it would be good to come back alive, and it is rare to be alive after killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions.

"It'll be better when your eldest brother comes back!" Wang Daniu comforted, "If you kill the leader of the enemy army, you can still get an official and a half-position, and you brothers and sisters will come out of it!" ”

Xu Yin just wanted to give them such a hint: I have a brother in my family who is about to become an official, if you have any bad thoughts, please weigh it first.

Unexpectedly, Erlang and the third sister took it seriously, and when they slept next to her that night, they whispered: "Sister-in-law, did the eldest brother really kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions to become a general?" ”

"Shhhhhhh ”

“…… Brother. ”

"That's right! Don't shout the wrong thing in the future! As for your brother, you'll know when he comes back. ”

Erlang suddenly counted: Sister-in-law is deceiving others, just like her name is "Xu Yingying".

The third sister was still a little ignorant, and asked in a glutinous voice: "When will the eldest brother come back?" ”

"Next year."

"When is next year?"

“…… Celebrate the New Year, right? It depends on whether he's in a hurry or not. ”

"Big brother walks fast."

“…… Okay. ”

“……”

can be regarded as coaxing the two of them together.

Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as I relaxed, I felt the indescribable pain in the soles of my feet, and when I took off my shoes and socks, there were several blisters.

It's true that she has divine power, but it's not a golden bell cover iron cloth shirt after all!

Xu Yin bared her teeth, and by the flickering firelight, she broke the blisters one by one, and used iodine wine swabs to eliminate the poison, before slowly exhaling.

Slightly loosen the strap on the chest, it's really uncomfortable to be tight and hot, it's really not easy to dress as a man!

Before dawn the next day, Xu Yin was awake.

She barely closed her eyes last night.

At first, it was uncomfortably hot, but then the bonfire went out in the middle of the night and cooled down, so I felt sleepy, but I couldn't help but worry about whether there would be an accident, so I kept the brother and sister all night.

Fortunately, there was no incident overnight.

She yawned, turned her back, rinsed her mouth and drank water, and quietly filled the gourd six or seven points full.

Last night, when the charcoal fire was about to be extinguished, she threw a few sweet potatoes into it.

At the moment, it was still hot to the touch, peeled off the charred skin, and ate one. The rest is kept for Erlang and the third sister.

"Little brother, do you think we're going to hurry up early? After a while, the sun came out and it was hot again. I'd rather find a place to rest at noon. ”

Wang Daniu's proposal is exactly what Xu Yin wants.

"Okay, Brother Wang, I'll clean it up."

She carried the two children onto the cart, and when she saw that they were sleepy-eyed, she said, "If you are sleepy, lie on the rice bag and sleep for a while." ”

She stuffed sweet potatoes and gourds at Erlang's feet, pushed the cart and set off.

The two families who went to Nanling Mansion went to the south of the mountain road separately at noon, and they had to cross a big mountain to go to Nanling Mansion to take a shortcut.

Xu Yin and Wang Daniu's family continued to walk east through the vast wilderness, not chatting much along the way, saving their physical strength and saving some saliva.

The water I drank was almost bottoming out.

Wang Daniu has been keeping an eye on the water source along the way, and his family of six only has two skin bags and a bamboo tube of water.

It's hot again, and after two days, it's bottomed out even if you save it.

Xu Yin is also paying attention.

At this moment, she saw a village ahead, and several houses in the village had smoke floating from the roofs.

"Brother Wang, which village is ahead?"

"Dadu Village." Wang Daniu thought for a while, "Many years ago, a rich man with a bodhisattva heart came out of their village, and dug two wells for the village, one at the head and the other at the end of the village, maybe the water in their village has not been cut off." ”

"Let's go! Let's see! ”

Hearing that there was water, the group cheered up.

Even if the well water in Dadu Village has dried up, there is a motivation to quench their thirst at this moment.

It is true that the water in Dadu Village has not been cut off, but it is not much different from the water cut.

There are two wells at the head and end of the village, and the water coming out is getting less and less, and the rope of the Rao is bucket is very long, and there is not much water to be fetched this morning.

So the villagers discussed cooking a final meal and took dry food to other places to avoid the disaster.

After Xu Yin and his party arrived, they looked at the ancient well that was about to bottom out, and their full desire was replaced by disappointment.
