Qiao Linshan was coaxing Qiao Linle, so she didn't move forward, and the other older ones all took a few steps forward.

Qiao Linxi pointed to the two roads and explained, "If we want to go around this city to the next city, there are two roads, here and here. ”

Qiao Linxi gestured with his finger: "This should be a lake, judging from the map, this road is longer than this road." And this side should be a mountain road. Let's see which way to go. ”

"If there's a lake, there's water, right?" Qiao Linbao spoke.

"Not necessarily, we haven't had rain here in years, and the lake doesn't look very big, so it should have dried up long ago. Even if there is still water, it will not be our turn, there is a drought in this hundred miles, and there must be many people fleeing the famine. If there was water, it would have been usurped long ago. ”

"Of course, it may also be that there are few people fleeing the famine, and we can still be lucky to drink water."

Qiao Linxi pointed to another road and said: "Since this is a mountain road, looking at the forest, maybe there will be talented wolves, tigers and leopards, and there is also a certain risk factor." If there's a rabbit or something, then we might be able to eat meat. ”

Qiao Linxi explained the pros and cons of the two roads clearly, and let a few children make up their minds about which way to go.

One road is not dangerous, but it is more than half the way through the other. The other road, although close, has some unknown dangers.

"Sister Lin Xi, it's good that you decide, we all listen to you."

Qiao Linxi talked for a long time, and this group of children listened very seriously, but in the end, such a sentence came, letting Qiao Linxi make up his own mind.

"Yes, sister, it's good if you decide, we'll all follow you. Even if something happens later, we won't blame you. ”

Qiao Linqi rubbed his stomach all the time, he was looking forward to the evening, and his sister said that when the stars came out, she would have mana, and she would be able to conjure a lot of steamed buns.

"That's right, Sister Lin Xi, we won't blame you."

"Well, let's go this way." Qiao Linxi pointed to the mountain road: "After years of drought, there must only be bare tree trunks in the mountain, and those grazing animals must have run out." Without grazing animals, animals such as wolves, tigers and leopards, which feed off meat, may also run. ”

Qiao Linxi's statement convinced herself, beckoned the children to tidy up their back baskets and sickles, counted the number of people, and embarked on a road to escape.

Before leaving, Qiao Linxi saw some people wailing at the city gate, Qiao Linxi didn't care, and took the children to their own way.

This is also Qiao Linxi's luck, because they didn't grab the porridge, they escaped the catastrophe.

The porridge issued by the government added other things, the purpose of which was to deal with the elderly and children, who would be relatively a drag on people.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qiao Linxi looked at the map in his hand, knowing that he would definitely not be able to reach the next city before dark, so he had to find an open place to spend the night.

Because the weather is hot, it is not cool at night, and if you sit in an open place, you can know what is dangerous at the first time.

"The stars are bright tonight." Qiao Linqi looked up at the star-strewn sky.

Listening to Qiao Linqi's words, Qiao Linxi couldn't help but pat the back of his head.

Qiao Linqi was in pain and covered the back of his head: "Sister, why are you beating me?" ”

"Children's families, don't be so careful."

"Hehe," Qiao Linqi took Qiao Linxi's hand: "Sister, I'm hungry." Do you have mana? ”

"You're hungry, we're all hungry." Qiao Linshu walked over, squeezed Qiao Linqi away, and then hugged Qiao Linxi's arm: "Sister." ”

Qiao Linxi didn't speak.

Qiao Linshu shook her arm again: "Sister, good sister, fairy sister......"

"Alright, alright." Qiao Linxi was a little dizzy by Qiao Linshu, "Come around." ”

After speaking, Qiao Linxi took out the pan from the back basket.

In order to hide people's eyes and ears before, Qiao Linxi covered the back basket with a rag, and everyone thought that this magical pot that could conjure steamed buns was always in the back basket.

Only Qiao Linqin, who was in charge of carrying the back basket, knew that she had been carrying an empty back basket and nothing. She didn't tell anyone, though.

Qiao Linxi had eight steamed buns, and only seven of them were taken out, and one steamed bun was divided into three pieces, three seven and twenty-one. One piece per person, and there was still one piece left in the end, and Qiao Linxi gave it to the youngest Qiao Linle.

Looking at the steamed bun in his hand, Zhao Dongqing was very surprised: "I also have a share?" ”

"As you said, meeting is also fate. I have limited ability, so I can only eat a small piece of it by myself. ”

Zhao Dongqing: "I'm causing you trouble." ”

Zhao Dongqing didn't know how the girl in front of him did it, although the pot looked peculiar, but he didn't see any mechanism. He didn't understand how the girl managed to conjure the steamed bun out of thin air.

To say that she was hiding in her clothes, but today her clothes are torn and there is nothing. It's really amazing.

"Nope." Qiao Linxi shook his head, looked at his younger brothers and sisters, and said, "I heard that someone wants to eat candy?" ”

"I, I want to eat." Qiao Linshu immediately raised his hand very high.

"And me." Qiao Linqi also raised his hand.

"Sister Lin Xi, I, I want to eat too." Qiao Lingji, who is ten years old from the fourth uncle's family, blushed a little when he said this. He felt a little shy, he had been thinking about the sugar in Qiao Linxi's hand all day.

Qiao Linxi didn't take it out, and he was embarrassed to ask for it. Sister Qiao Linyi had already made a fuss, and he was embarrassed to ask Qiao Linxi for it.

"Then, stretch out your hands and close your eyes, my sister is going to cast a spell."

"Okay."

The dozen or so children were very happy, and they didn't think that Qiao Linxi might lie to them. They all believed in Qiao Linxi. Qiao Linxi said that there is sugar, then it must be eaten with sugar.

All the children closed their eyes and stretched out their hands, Qiao Linxi took out the can of lollipops, one for each person, and did not forget to tell him: "I didn't say that you can open your eyes before you can open your eyes, otherwise it will affect my sister's spell." ”

Zhao Dongqing turned his back when Qiao Linxi said that he was going to cast a spell, and he didn't expect Qiao Linxi to give him a copy. It's just that he thinks that maybe this little girl doesn't want to expose her secret to an outsider like herself.

"Alright, open your eyes." Qiao Linxi finished the candy, several children were really obedient, and Qiao Linxi opened his eyes only after he spoke.

"Wow, it's really sugar, thank you Sister Lin Xi."

Another big wave of thanks, and another wave of thanksgiving points, Qiao Linxi hurriedly brought it to the lottery, except that the wooden plank system actually gave her a small barrel of five hundred milliliters of cooking oil.

"Mr. Zhao." Zhao Dongqing heard Qiao Linxi's voice, opened his eyes, and saw a little girl with candy in her hand standing in front of her.
