Ah Jiu looked at her mother dementedly, and turned her back to Aunt Li with some embarrassment:

"It does hurt a little when you press it here."

Ah Jiu pointed to his chest: "However, I actually understand it, so I didn't take it seriously." ”

Cai Lihua looked at her sensible daughter and touched her head:

"It's good to understand, if you come, you have to tell your mother, this kind of thing must be hygienic."

Ah Jiu pursed her lips and nodded, she understood that Ah Niang was talking about the moon letter, but according to her memory, she was still early.

Meng Shaode feasted and poured water into his mouth, this time he didn't feel sorry for his wife and children's lack of water.

If I wanted more, I really wanted to take a shower.

"Do you two drink?" Meng Shaode handed the water bladder to Tuobayan.

Tuoba Yan waved his hand: "I'm not thirsty, Zhao Kun, are you thirsty?" ”

"I'm not thirsty."

As soon as these words came out, Meng Shaode stuffed the plug boredly and muttered: "Then am I old?" Why can't I be thirsty? ”

"Uncle is in good health." Xiao Yanyan's mouth is honey-smeared and sweet.

"You kid, you can talk."

Meng Shaode was very useful, threw the water bladder into the carriage and continued to hurry:

"Let's find a secluded place to rest."

"Okay." Cai Lihua in the carriage agreed.

"Drive!" Meng Shaode heard the command, clasped the reins with both hands and flicked it, and the horse continued to move forward.

"Actually, I have an idea, after that, let's go at night and rest during the day, so that we are not afraid of the heat, what do you say?" Meng Shaode discussed with his daughter-in-law:

"We have reached the realm of Nanming, you see that the two officials I met were polite, which means that there is no war here at all, and the security is definitely better than our Menghua City."

"It makes sense, our daughter can listen to it and get a good night's sleep."

Cai Lihua agreed.

It didn't take long for the hottest noon to arrive, and Meng Shaode drove the carriage into the forest.

But the forest grew denser, and he grabbed the reins and jumped out of the carriage.

"Uncle Meng, what did you find?"

Tuoba Yan saw his uncle's solemn expression and hurriedly followed.

"The soil here is much wetter than before."

Meng Shaode saw that there were a few young shoots growing from the roots under these half-dead trees, tender and green.

As soon as these words came out, Ah Jiu Niang and Aunt Li in the car all got down.

The two children of Iron Hammer and Iron Egg have not seen green for many years, so they went up and pulled it off:

"Mother, look, look good."

The six-year-old Iron Egg was held high to show his mother, and the eight-year-old Iron Hammer calmed down.

"Mother, I still saw such beautiful leaves when I was a child."

In Ah Jiu's eyes, it is actually sad, the three-year drought is the fourth year.

In other words, when Hammer was five years old, he already saw few greenery.

Tie Dan is only six years old, which means that he has not seen it since he can remember.

Tuoba Yan got up and took two more steps deeper, and in an instant, a cliff appeared under his feet.

It's no wonder that their journey has been uphill.

Although the dirt road looks smooth, it is clearly built on a hill.

"Master, be careful." Zhao Kun pulled Tuoba Yan.

Ah Jiu stepped forward to take a look, not to mention, this place is full of dead leaves, and it is difficult to find that there is a cliff below.

"Sister Ah Jiu, don't go forward, be careful of falling."

Tuoba Yan pulled Ah Jiu behind him.

But at that moment, Ah Jiu's eyes were staring at the bottom of the valley, it was desolate, but a trace of green was faintly interspersed in the withered yellow.

"The daughter-in-law of the Li family said that there was a rain in Nanmingcheng's generation last year."

Meng Shaode finally figured out why.

"Yes, I've heard that, too, so the further south we go, the less drought it gets."

Mao Junlan, the daughter-in-law of the Li family, answered.

"I remember that the Wu family brothers also said this." Cai Lihua added.

With hope in her eyes, it seemed that life would be better the farther south she went, and she looked forward to settling down.

"Then let's eat something and rest." Meng Shaode had a light in his eyes.

He has had enough of the days of worrying about being displaced all day long, and he wants to live a stable life with his wife and children.

"We can't go to Nanming City for a day or two, at most we can go to Liuxian outside Nanming City."

Cai Lihua remembers this very clearly.

"It's safe to go to Liuxian, you don't remember the two fast catchers we met."

Meng Shaode also figured this out along the way, there was no war in Nanming City, so there was no such thing as a wandering army and catching strong men.
