By the time they rushed to the abandoned inn, it was already dark.

After a day of sheltering from the rain, they were already exhausted, and their legs were not their own, not to mention their stomachs that had long been hungry and unconscious, and their soaked clothes were still sticking to their bodies, and they were very uncomfortable, and now it would be nice to have a fire.

But the fire folds they collected on their bodies were also drenched by the rain, and they couldn't make a fire, and the rain was still dripping from the leaky roof, which really answered the sentence, and the house leak happened to rain overnight.

The official errand can't count on it, if there is no silver, how can he give them hot soup and hot water? Even a little tinder made them exchange copper for it.

Their eyes flickered to the fire in the corner.

The brothers and sisters of the Sang family were busy around the fire, Sang Qingqiao was busy removing the straw that had long been dried on the carriage and laying it on the ground, while Sang Qingyu added a quilt to make the place where they were sitting soft.

Sang Qingyan kept an eye on the fire, adding firewood to it from time to time, while Ning Ning followed Su Shi's side, taking out the rabbit meat that had already been marinated from the baggage and stewing the soup.

Even Zhao Mazi and Lu Zixing were busy, either collecting firewood, helping with food, or no one was collecting rainwater.

Although Zhao Mazi is also quite strange, it's rare to rain, isn't it excellent to use this rain to cook things? It can save a lot of water.

But the little girl crossed her waist just now, looking like a little adult, and seriously told them not to drink the rainwater, and even after touching the rain, they had to wash their hands clean before eating.

Alas, you have to obey under the fence, Zhao Mazi happily put the selected firewood beside Ning Ning, "Little girl, these should be enough for tonight." ”

"You still have to pick more, this rain ......" Ning Ning lowered her head, looking at Zhao Mazi's achievements as if she were looking, and before she finished speaking, she saw a figure in front of her.

She subconsciously looked up, and it turned out to be Pan Yang's mother-in-law, Liu, she was standing in front of Ning Ning, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be twisted.

"Eh, get out of the way, don't get in the way here." Zhao Mazi saw at a glance that this was mostly to take advantage of Ning Ning, and he was busy carrying firewood, trying to squeeze the Liu family away.

Liu's face suddenly turned red, and the courage that he had finally mustered withered again, begging for someone or something, how could she say it as a lieutenant lady!?

was urged by Zhao Mazi for two more sentences, she bit her lower lip, and finally ran away.

"Auntie!" Suddenly, Ning Ning's crisp child's voice came from behind him, and Liu subconsciously stopped.

She turned around and saw Ning Ning taking small steps, still holding a lit firewood in her hand, and ran over, and stuffed the firewood directly into her hand without saying anything, "Auntie, the road is very dark, you can still light the road with this fire." ”

When Liu Shi heard this, his heart warmed, how big is this broken station, Ning Ning obviously wanted to give her a step down when he spoke like this.

"Thank you, thank you." Liu Shi took the firewood, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I was careful before, misunderstood you, and said a lot of bad things about you, just now I thought you deliberately wanted to make Pan Yang wet, so I yelled at you......"

She paused, her expression was very embarrassed, and then she lowered her head and took out a small sugar man from the burden she was holding in her hand and stuffed it into Ning Ning's hand, "Anyway, I'm sorry......"

After saying that, she ran away, clutched the firewood and hurried away.

"Excuse me?" Ning Ning was a little confused with the candy man, why Ning Ning couldn't understand what she said just now, what bad words, what misunderstandings, why didn't she know anything?

Zhao Mazi, who heard all this, snorted, "Even if she has a little conscience, it's not in vain, little girl, you deliberately found an excuse to light her on fire." ”

"Deliberately making excuses?" Ning Ning shook her head and immediately denied it, "No, it's ......"

"Ahh Before Ning Ning finished speaking, he heard a woman's exclamation in the darkness not far away, and she seemed to be in pain, and the voice was a little like Liu's.

Ning Ning immediately shook her head, "Alas, Ning Ning gave her a torch to light the way, why did she still fall?" ”

When Zhao Mazi heard this, he was immediately surprised: "That means that the little girl knows that she can wrestle?" ”

"Of course I know, it's ...... at her feet" Ning Ning almost subconsciously said that she saw a lot of small briquettes wrapped around Liu's feet, and that little thing seemed to have not seen anyone for a long time, so she was very curious, but it was inevitable that the people they were entangled would bump and bump, so she borrowed a torch for Liu, thinking that if she could see the road, she shouldn't have fallen, who knows or .....

"What's at your feet?" Zhao Mazi hurriedly asked.

"Anyway, Ning Ning just knows it anyway!" Ning Ning stomped her foot in annoyance, turned around and ignored Zhao Mazi.

Although Liu fell this fall, it was worth it, and he brought the torch back to make a fire, and he could barely drink some hot water.

Pan Yang remembered Ning Ning's words and put ground grass in their water, but fortunately, the people in his family doted on him very much, but they didn't say much.

The other people saw that the Liu family was on fire, so they also moved their minds, and many of them had exchanged things with Ning Ning for food before, knowing that Ning Ning's little girl didn't care very much, and she could send away some tattered things casually, so she also casually took out something to exchange for a lit firewood.

But what they didn't expect was that now Zhao Mazi was there, this person was not as easy to talk as the Sang brothers and sisters, and he was a scoundrel, he could say anything, and when he saw those things, he scolded everyone and drove them away.

Sang Qingyan heard Zhao Mazi's unkind words, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sang Qingyu, Sang Qingyu shook his head, now is not the time to be a bad person.

Before it rained, they could also go into the mountains to hunt prey, but they could also help others, but now that it is raining heavily, it is not convenient for anything, not to mention that they always have some bad premonitions, and they have to save rations or something to eat, and they can't help other idlers.

Ning Ning didn't pay much attention to what Zhao Mazi did, she just stared at the Su family cooking wholeheartedly, and secretly added some elixir or something to it from time to time, for fear that this typhoid fever would come to the door.

After a lot of tossing, only a few families got some firewood, lit a fire, and ate a little and slept regardless of whether it was dirty or not.

It was a cold and wet night, except for the Sang family, no one slept well, and no one thought that such a day was just the beginning.

For the next few days, the group of them braved the rain to move forward in the heavy rain, even if it was useless to plead, the official said that they had been delayed for too long, and if they delayed any longer, it would snow before they reached Lianzhou, and it would be even worse at that time.

Rushing in the rain during the day, and sleeping in wet clothes at night, although the little girl of the Sang family gave them some tinder in the next few days, but it had little effect.

When they arrived at Niujiazhuang, many people already felt very unwell.
