Three simple tents were set up in a row, the middle tent was for women to live in, and the two on the side were for men to live in.

Xiang Hanqin was lazy, she threw her butcher and Du Kang to Old Man Xiang, and she followed Grandma Xiang to cook, their family of three people, where can they not squeeze, what kind of tent to build.

Grandma Xiang couldn't help but feel funny when she looked like a little mouse stealing oil, so she tossed it.

Xianghanhe partnered with the village chief to set up two tents, one for the man and one for the woman, but he wronged Shui Miao and his little grandson who was just a few months old.

"Shui Miao, if you discuss it with your aunt, you take the child in the carriage." The village chief's daughter-in-law looked at her unroofed oxcart and couldn't help but feel sorry for her young grandson.

Shui Miao shook his head, Uncle has helped their family too much, now they are fleeing the famine, and they can't ask for too much until the last resort, but they can borrow it when they are feeding.

Dinner was very simple, I cooked a pot of white porridge, just pickled gada, and ate a few home-cooked cakes, but Fu Bao had two eggs in his hand.

The shopkeeper watched the six princes and the four princesses also drink porridge with ceramic rice bowls, chewing the dough cakes one by one, and wanted to take some bacon out, but they were stopped by the eyes of the six princes.

Some hungry people on the side have been living here for many days, they have no way to guide, and some of them have evaded taxes, and they have not even obtained household registration, so they cannot enter the city at all.

The food they brought with them was almost exhausted, and most importantly, they could never find a water source, and they could starve for two days, but the water would never be cut off.

"Uncles and aunts, it's okay, give a bowl of water, half a bowl is fine, and give the child a sip of life-saving water." A woman with a basket on her back, followed by two children, came to Fubao pitifully and mischievously.

The fourth princess softened her heart and almost wanted to hand over the ceramic bowl in her hand, but she thought that this was the bowl of the Xiang family, and she was all under the fence, so how could she have extra kindness to help others.

"There is a birch tree on the mountain, you dig a hole in the tree and insert it with a hollow bamboo pipe, and water will flow out." The rich sister-in-law pointed to the mountain and whispered.

The woman's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again, not to mention that there are no birch trees on the mountain at all, even if there is, where does she have a bamboo pipe, it is still hollow, it is estimated that people are unwilling to give it, so they fooled her.

Sighing secretly, he turned around and walked towards where he lived, and the people around him looked at Fubao here, and when they saw the woman disappointed, they knew that they were unwilling to give it.

Also, how precious water is now, how can I give it to you casually, so let's look around.

The woman looked at the two children, whose lips were already chapped and bleeding, and thought that she might as well try her luck, and in the dead of night, she quietly went up the mountain with a water bladder.

This time, by virtue of the moonlight, she saw the birch tree at once, and couldn't help but feel strange, could it be that she was blind two days ago, and quickly ran to the edge of the birch, and she didn't know what she stepped on, and it hurt and hurt.

The woman picked up the things under her feet, and it was actually the hollow bamboo pipe that the man said, and hurriedly took out the firewood knife from the back basket, cut a hole in the tree, and then inserted the bamboo pipe into it.

Not long after, a drop of water dripped into the bowl, slowly, more and more water, seeing that the bowl of water was about to be filled, the woman hurriedly put the mouth of the water bladder against the bamboo pipe, and drank the water in the bowl in one gulp.

How can this water be so sweet, the woman laughed with satisfaction, and watched nervously as the water dripped into the water bladder, and after more than an hour, the water bladder was finally filled.

Unplugging the bamboo pipe, the woman hid the water bladder, quickly descended the mountain, and secretly came to her children, who were so thirsty and hungry that they couldn't sleep at all.

At first, when they saw their mother go up the mountain, they thought she was going to the toilet, but after so much time, her mother has not come back, and they can't help but be worried and scared.

"Mother, I'm thirsty"

"Mother, I'm hungry"

The hoarse voices of the children made the woman feel distressed, and with her own body, she resisted the sight of the hungry people on the side, and whispered a few words in the children's ears.

The eyes of the two children lit up, and they lay down obediently, and the hungry people on the side saw that they were all right, and they also closed their eyes with a dead heart, and they still went to sleep, and they didn't know if they could enter the city tomorrow.

The woman secretly fed the two children a few mouthfuls of water, and with the moisture of water in her throat, she felt a lot more comfortable, and closed her eyes tightly and began to sleep.

Looking at the child who finally fell asleep, the woman was grateful to the rich sister-in-law, if it weren't for her guidance, they might not live for a few days, and tomorrow they will go to the city gate to see if they can go in to find the child and his father.

Fu Bao received a little merit and knew that the woman had listened to her mother's words and went up the mountain to find water, and that the birch tree she had transplanted to the mountain was just a little water for the hungry people.

The next day, the old man Xiang and the others packed up, and were about to leave, but they were stopped by several villagers, and it turned out that the villagers of Xiangzhang Village came to find them.

Yesterday, Da Hei knocked down the man who was blocking the road, and the man died in the second half of the night.

The black bull hit and killed someone, and the black bull had two in addition to Uncle Hanlin's family, that is, the village chief and the Hanqin family, so they caught up.

The third child hurriedly sent the villagers to search everywhere, and the hard work paid off, and finally found them two or three miles away from the city gate.

The villagers of Xiangzhang Village finally converged, and everyone was very happy, this team has the father and grandfather of the old man, and their future journey should be easier.

Fugui took advantage of the fact that the villagers were all there and asked them to go up the mountain to replenish the water source, and the third child looked at Fugui in surprise, where is there a water source in this withered grass and wilderness.

Fugui pretended to look at the third child with disgust, I don't know if there will be water flowing out of a hole in the birch tree, and the third child can stuff a big egg with his mouth open.

There are only three people in his family, and the water is very economical, but because he has his father and mother, more than a dozen water bladders are also empty.

Hurriedly took the hollow bamboo pipe from Fugui's hand, took his daughter-in-law and his father and mother up the mountain, there were really two birch trees on the mountain, took out a firewood knife to dig a hole to take water, inserted the hollow bamboo pipe, and sure enough, there was water dripping out, but the water flow was very slow.

The third child asked his mother-in-law to take a water bladder to catch water, and he looked around, and there were still a few hollow bamboo pipes under the birch tree, which should have been left by the rich and noble.
