Chapter 21: Bad luck
When it was dark, Shen Muxi and her aunt also completed the mask transformation, and the issues outside finally made a decision.
In order to prevent the epidemic, their small team decided to follow the map provided by Liang Yi and divert the road for three more days.
The leader was also replaced by Shen Qingshan, the lobby uncle, to Liang Yi, who had just joined the small team.
Shen Muxi took advantage of their substitution, put her cousin Xianghe into the carriage, and pulled Liu Zhuang's little girl, who had just been replaced, to walk with her.
Liu Bei was very happy to pull Sister Axi, the best-looking girl in the village, and the eight or nine-year-old girl was the most lively, so she ran and jumped up when she pulled her.
Shen Muxi likes cute little girls, took out a few strawberry chocolates from the space, unpacked them with one hand, and said to Liu Bei:
"Xiaobei, close your eyes and open your mouth." The little girl acted obediently, and soon she felt it, mellow and rich sweetness.
Liu Bei opened his apricot eyes excitedly, his clean and clear eyes were full of joy, and his voice was clear: "Sister Axi, it's so good..." ”
Before she could say anything, she was covered by Shen Muxi in the little girl's mouth, she winked at Liu Bei, and whispered, "Shhhh
After that, she stuffed two more pieces of chocolate for Liu Bei, and walked with the little girl laughing like this, as if her tiredness was not so obvious.
At the end of the day, everyone finally heard the voice of anticipation: "It's here." ”
The resting place of the small broken team was a wide mountain road, and even if there were more spacious mountains and forests on both sides, they did not dare to go.
There are wolves in the mountains, so it is better to stay away from the mountains and forests, so everyone did not enter the mountains and forests.
This decision also made them regret their mistakes later!
Everyone took the family as a unit, spread straw mats in different areas to rest, and each family made a fire to cook.
Shen Muxi climbed into the carriage, took out the finished cakes, and distributed them to the family, but when they were distributed to Xianghe, Xianghe was too cowardly to take it.
Shen Muxi was tired of persuading people, and directly stuffed the cake into Xianghe's hand: "Xianghe, I'm not happy if I don't eat it."
Thirty cakes look like a lot, but they can't stand their family, three people from the second uncle's family, three from Shen Muxi's family, and three from Zhao's fifth family, which is nine people.
Coupled with Ji Chaohexiang, who was on the list, there were eleven people in total, five of whom were big men who could eat, and Shen Muxi had a headache when he thought about it.
It's not that she feels sorry for the food, but how to divide the food, and how to keep the internal conflict because of Ji Chao and Xianghe's eating.
Shen Muxi is not untargeted, her second aunt Wang Shigang is about to throw out of her eye sockets.
If it was a real knife, Ji Chao and Xianghe would have been killed by her knife, and even Zhao Wu's family would have to seriously injure Wang's knife.
In the early years, the Wang family followed the second uncle to endure hardships, so she attached great importance to materials, and when things were put in her car, she had to check them at any time to feel at ease.
The good atmosphere of eating is also becoming more and more stagnant under Wang's abyssal gaze.
Shen Siman is a straight-tempered person, how can he stand this, and directly pick out the words: "Second sister-in-law, this cake is useless for your family." ”
"Your family is not missing at all, I don't believe you get in the car and take a look, the meat is also from the pig slaughtered by my family before departure."
Wang's face was a little uncomfortable, she just habitually saved things, and she didn't say that she wouldn't let people eat them, but she didn't control her expression.
Wang stumbled: "Little sister, sister-in-law doesn't mean that, sister-in-law... Sister-in-law... It is... Just..."
Shen Muxi made up in her heart: It's stingy, she loves to save things, and then made eye contact with her aunt: Aunt, it's beautiful, and then hand it over to me.
Her aunt understood how to retreat, and Shen Muxi staged a peace with the mud: "Auntie, it's okay, why should your family care, let's be more harmonious in the future,"
"This mountain is far away, and Ming'er doesn't know how long it will take, so it's right to rest."
The steps were handed over, and Wang hurriedly said yes, and the atmosphere eased in an instant.
Shen Munan took the men in the family and came out with a straw curtain to give the women in the family a comfortable and stable sleep.
Shen Muxi changed the dressing for the wounded, and when she saw Ji Chao's injury, she was a little proud, it was good that this condition could be restored like this.
After doing this, the family slept beautifully, until the next day they were woken up by a crying baby in the lobby.
Everyone also got up and buried the pot to make rice, Shen Muxi cooperated with Aunt Chunxing, who had subsided her fever, to make soup cakes, and felt the mushroom soup from the space.
Xiangxiang had breakfast, and the small broken team continued on the road, the hotter and hotter they went, and the water stored before leaving slowly bottomed out.
Shen Muxi rested on the eaves of the stopped carriage like a dying fish, while Shen Munan followed to fetch water.
She wanted to drink water secretly, but everyone looked at her and didn't have a chance, thinking that the eldest brother would be able to drink enough when he came back.
Unexpectedly, the riverbed found according to the map had dried up, and there were some small animal carcasses lying on the cracked ground, and there was no water when they dug down a meter deep.
The person who was looking for water had to return in disappointment, and Shen Muxi also sighed again and again in disappointment, the saddest thing in life is that you have it, but you can't use it.
Seeing that her whole body was wilting, Xianghe sensibly replaced her to rest, this time she didn't refuse, she ran out of water to drink three hours ago.
Now she is in dire need of water, so it's a big deal to find an opportunity to go out and look for water later, and bring some water from home to everyone.
As soon as the small team started, she couldn't wait to take out a few bottles of mineral water from the space, and took her little aunt to experience the space benefits.
Then they put the brother in the carriage into the experience, and after about six or seven miles, they finally came to another place where the water source was recorded in the map.
At this time, except for Shen Muxi's family of three, the rest of them were dying of thirst, and everyone was vying for the riverside.
Shen Muxi was afraid that the water source here would also dry up, and if she didn't go, she wouldn't be able to take out the water reasonably, so she naturally had to follow.
She thought that if there was no water, she and her aunt would be able to find a place to get water on their own.
Who knew that Ji Chao, who had healed the wound, had to accompany her, and what else he said: "In the past few days to recuperate from my injuries, I have been lying obediently, taking up space and not talking, and I still feel heavy." ”
Shen Muxi had something in his heart, and he couldn't find any good reason to refuse, so he could only take him with him and wait for them to go to the water source.
The frightened crowd stood still, and the river was full of human stumps and severed arms, as if they had been bitten by animals after death.
You can't drink it directly if you have water!
Before Shen Muxi's words of persuasion could be spoken, Brother Zhuzi in the village, Liang Yi, the newcomer, and dozens of other students bypassed the corpse and drank the water.
"Can't drink it!" By the time she spoke, it was already late, and the crowd drank it heartily.
Everyone looked at her puzzled, and Shen Muxi hurriedly replied: "There must be bacteria in the water." Seeing that everyone didn't understand anymore, she changed her words to explain:
"It's just not clean, and if you drink this water, you'll get sick."
Most of the people from a village stopped drinking water after listening to her words, and the students not only did not listen to her, but also mocked:
"What do women know, don't stop us if you don't drink, we don't want to die of thirst." The students had obviously forgotten at this moment how many injuries she had treated them.
They only have immediate benefits in mind!
Shen Muxi shook her head, she was really ungrateful, they could disagree, but there was no need to mock her.
In a dynasty, even scholars have this virtue, what hope can they have?
She stopped looking at them, and tugged at Ji Chao's sleeve, who was standing still: "Let's go, go find water elsewhere." ”
Shen Muxi saw that Ji Chao was not moving, and looked at him carefully, only to find that this person's eyes seemed to be locked, staring at a big rock in the river.
She followed Ji Chao's gaze, looked carefully for a moment, and found that a descending tiger was engraved on the boulder, and there was a circular totem emblem on the left shoulder of the tiger.
As soon as Shen Muxi wanted to ask Ji Chao what it was, he replied, "Let's go." ”
The two returned to their place and told the others about the water source, and the hall boy said that he had an experienced head, and also said that the water could not be drunk.
If you drink contaminated water, you are at risk of dysentery, which is contagious!
Li Da'an knew that his eldest son drank the water, and kicked and beat Li Zhuzi, Shen Muxi was afraid that something would happen and hurriedly pulled, Uncle Da'an whispered:
"It's okay, Uncle Da An, I have medicine, you gave it to Brother Zhuzi secretly." Then he concocted the antibiotic and secretly distributed it to the people in the village who drank the water.
Knowing that he couldn't drink water, Second Uncle Shen seemed to be three years old in an instant, and said in a dumb voice: "You can't drink water if you have it, what can I do?" ”
Shen Muxi comforted: "Second uncle, since there is a water source, there should be a second one, let's find it again." ”
After saying that, she pulled her brother to the mountain, Ji Chao wanted to follow, but was quickly stopped by Shen Siman with his eyes: "You rest, there is her brother." ”
She pulled Shen Munan away for a while before she stopped and said, "Brother, I'll take a shovel out and you dig a pit for me." ”
Shen Munan nodded yes, and then began to dig a pit, and the power of the strong guy was strong.
In a short time, he dug a large pit about one meter deep and three or four meters wide.
Shen Muxi entered the space, connected the leather tube to the faucet, pinched the end of the leather tube tightly in his hand, and left the space the moment he turned on the water.
The leather tube in the sleeve continued to flow water, and Shen Muxi and her brother sat on the side and waited, waiting for the sky to be a little dark before filling the big pit.
As soon as the water was full, Shen Muxi immediately entered the space to turn off the water, and as soon as the sound of the water stopped, the brother and sister heard the shouts of the villagers: "Ah Xi, Mu Nan." ”
The two hurriedly shouted: "I found water...... and the villagers happily picked up tools to fetch water.
After many twists and turns, the joy of finding water finally came to an imperfect end.
But how could this evil ancient world let her go, Shen Muxi was woken up by all kinds of messy sounds and smells in the middle of the night.
The group of students had diarrhea one after another, and Liu Shan was sweating anxiously, when an old servant stepped forward and said, "Master, I'm afraid it's dysentery." ”
The ancients were talking about dysentery, not to mention that so many people had dysentery, Liu Shanchang was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and said coldly: "Quick, quick, burn them quickly." ”
Shen Muxi hurriedly stopped: "What you burn, it's a dysentery, and it can be cured." ”
When Liu Shanchang heard her words, not only did he not feel at ease, but his face also showed an expression mixed with fear and resentment.
Liu Shan said with a strong face: "Burn, burn, burn, even this girl who doesn't know anything is burned together, so you don't have to cause trouble all day long." ”
The villagers are not calm, and they want to burn their villagers, but they can't!
And Ah Xi's little girl is really unusual, they took the medicine she gave, and they did not have dysentery like those students.
The villagers picked up sickles and sticks to defend, and Ji Chao, Shen Siman, and Shen Munan also stood in front of Shen Muxi and said, "Old man, just rely on the few people around you?" I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do it yet. ”
The students who can't stop running are lying on the ground, and the people are already pulling water.
They are sick, and the mountain chief, whom they have always respected, will not save them, but will burn them!
The students' eyes were full of despair, and their hearts were cold......
