Chapter 225: In the Mountains and Forests 7
After the tent on the Gu family's side was set up, Lin Dahong cut a piece of wild boar meat and then added the remaining mushrooms from yesterday, stewed a big pot, and then steamed a large pot of rice.
It's not very hearty, but the hot broth and rice are pretty good.
Shi and the other six people also ate with the Gu family, because it was too cold, Li Wei also let them sleep in Gu Boss's tent, but fortunately, the tent was big enough to squeeze and live.
Shi and the others were grateful, in this Nima mountain forest, sleeping outside at night, they couldn't sleep at all.
After dinner, the rain gradually became lighter, Li Wei looked at the time, but it was only less than four o'clock, she and Mo Desperate went to the front to explore the way, and the stones and a few people went to pick mushrooms nearby, looking for anything else to eat, so as to serve as tomorrow's rations.
Mo Desperate took the machete, and cut down the grass and small trees in front of him as he walked, and the two of them went all the way north, occasionally meeting some people who were also fleeing the famine, but they were all in groups, some were a family, and some were a village.
About two hours later, the two walked back, Li Wei dug some He Shou Wu, deep in the mountains, there are a lot of medicines, and He Shou Wu is at least a hundred years old.
Li Wei took out a basket of mountain eggs from the system and brought them back, only saying that they were picked up in the mountains, and asked Lin Dahong to steam egg custard, and eat a bowl per person, even if it was an extra meal for everyone.
After eating the custard, the wind gradually rose, and after a while, the wind howled, and I felt terrible when I heard it in the tent.
Li Wei thought of the Chen family, they came back from exploration, and the Chen family probably realized that it was unrealistic to spend the night here, and they all moved away, as for where to move, Li Wei didn't care.
The next day, at dawn, several people walked out of the tent, and when they looked at the past, they were simply devastated, many trees in the mountains and forests were uprooted, and many people froze to death because of the strong wind at night.
The Gu family had breakfast, and Li Wei boiled some herbs to remove moisture and prevent wind and cold, and drank a bowl of each before packing up and setting off.
The good news is that the rain has stopped, so you don't have to travel in the rain anymore, and by 8 o'clock in the morning, the sun is out, the temperature has risen a lot, and everyone's mood has become more sunny.
Just walked out not far away, there was a crying sound in front of the house, Gu Lao Er stepped forward to inquire about the news, it turned out that the wind was too strong last night, some people were frozen to death, and some people were crushed to death by falling trees, in short, it looked a little miserable.
Li Wei sighed, on the way to escape from the wilderness, dead people are the norm, and after only a few days in the mountain, he can't hold on, and the road ahead will only become more and more difficult.
Although the Gu family has seen a lot along the way, they are still a little depressed, and they haven't walked for a long time.
Xiaoqing, the maid of the Chen family, came over crying and cried, and knelt in front of Li Wei with a puff.
"Madame, help us, please, just because you don't want us to let us into your tent, four of us froze to death last night, and our young lady is also sick."
Lin Dahong, who had not spoken much, was very dissatisfied when he heard this: "You yourself are not fully prepared, how can you blame us for not helping you if something happens now." ”
Xiaoqing's eyes widened to defend herself: "I don't blame you, or you can help us, why don't you want to help." ”
Li Wei didn't know what kind of face this Xiaoqing had to accuse, and they didn't have the obligation to help them.
"This girl, your young lady and young master are not my responsibility, I am not related to you, why should I help you?"
"Our young lady is the granddaughter of the Taifu, and she is knowledgeable, if you help us, you will definitely pay it back in the future." Xiaoqing hurriedly said.
Li Wei: "I don't need your thanks, so don't force me to help you." ”
"Why are you so ruthless?" Xiaoqing saw that Li Wei didn't give any affection, and her eyes gradually showed hatred.
Li Wei: "Everyone just met in Pingshui, and there was no friendship. ”
"You"
"Xiaoqing, don't say it."
Chen Manman walked over, his face pale, and he looked at Li Wei with an apologetic expression.
"Mrs. Gu, I'm sorry, it's me who didn't discipline me properly, Xiaoqing's request is really rude, you just don't hear it."
Li Wei glanced at her and said coldly: "I know that it is rude, don't let her say the same thing again in the future." ”
Chen Manman's face was embarrassed for a while and said.
"We were really not well prepared for this trip, and we thought that we would meet our families in a few days, but we knew that there was some accident on the way, so we fell into an embarrassment. In short, Xiaoqing is also worried about me, she didn't do well, I apologize to you. ”
After listening to Chen Manman's explanation, Li Wei didn't say anything, just nodded and left.
Xiaoqing looked at Li Wei's ruthless back, and her eyes were full of resentment.
"Miss, this person is hard-hearted, and he has no compassion at all."
Chen Manman clenched his fists, the food they brought was not enough, and the warm clothes were not enough, if they didn't meet with their families, they wouldn't be able to survive in a few days.
At this time, the two young masters of the Chen family also stepped forward.
"If we still can't contact the family today, we will only have one last resort."
Seeing that Chen Manman still didn't speak, the eldest young master of the Chen family comforted: "Manman, the premise of kindness is that we must survive. ”
Li Wei walked on the road, thinking that the Chen family was not in a very good mood, the eldest young master and eldest lady did not prepare anything when they went out, and they took a group of people with them, and they looked very safe, but when they arrived in this mountain forest, they all became waste.
"Then the Chen family is a trouble." Mo Yu didn't know when he came to Li Wei's side and said.
"Why?"
"They didn't bring anything, and now they don't even have food, and last night the two entourages went to catch a few snakes and came back to eat." ”
Li Wei was curious: "They brought such a large group of people, I think there are a lot of salutes, what do they bring without food?" ”
Ink is overwhelming: "When the books, musical instruments, flowers, silver, etc. were at the foot of the mountain, the ten pots of flowers carefully planted by Chen Zhuo, the eldest young master of the Chen family, were lost, and half of the books of the second young master Chen Chao were also lost, and it was best to carry three boxes of books on the mountain." ”
"Miss Chen Jiasan likes to play the piano, and there are dozens of hand-me-down guqins in the family, and she brought them all with her when she left this time, because the carriage on the mountain could not go together, and in the end she lost half of it and brought five with her."
"But last night, because it was too cold and there was not enough firewood, the Chen family burned two boxes of books and two guqins."
Li Wei suddenly didn't know what to say, fleeing with a book and a piano is not for food, I don't know whether to admire or admire.
"It sounds miserable, but there are many people who are worse than them on the way to escape, at least they still have so many servants."
"It's because there are so many people that they will find ways to rob others."
In other words, the Chen family is likely to rob the Gu family, Li Wei does not comment on this kind of thing that did not happen, but since the beginning of the escape, her guard has never been relaxed.
"Then everyone should be alert, we are not easy to bully."
"Ahh Suddenly there was an exclamation from ahead
