Over there, the voices of the Four Tigers came, and Ye Chuqiu stood up quickly, "I'm here, I'll be here soon."
Walking slowly to the camp, the wheat porridge was cooked in a large clay pot and gave off a strong aroma of wheat. Ye Chuqiu said: "This wheat is not easy to digest. If you boil it longer, it will be more fragrant."
The more it was cooked, the stronger the aroma became. Everyone stared at the big clay pot and kept swallowing their saliva. After another two quarters of an hour, Zhao Hehua turned off the fire, stirred the porridge, and gave it to Ye first.
I scooped up a bowl in early autumn.
Ye Chuqiu took the porridge, drank it slowly, and said in his mouth: "It smells so good."
When Ye Chuqiu drank the porridge cooked by Na Maizhong two days ago, she still felt a throat irritation. This time, she didn't feel that way at all. She just felt that the strong aroma of wheat filled her entire stomach, which made her feel extremely comfortable.
Ye Chuqiu guessed that it was because it had been cooked for a longer time this time. If it was cooked with milk, it would definitely be more fragrant.
Everyone felt extremely satisfied eating the wheat porridge. A few children couldn't help but "squeak, squeak", and the adults also "suck, slurp" and slurped the top layer of porridge with big mouthfuls.
All kinds of sounds made Li Youmei's mouth secrete saliva. She didn't know how many times she swallowed the saliva, but in the end, she held back!
If you don’t drink it, I will starve to death without a sip of porridge from you!
"Yumei, come and have a sip. Why are you angry with my sister-in-law?"
Ye Chuqiu brought the porridge bowl to Li Youmei with a gentle and kind tone. Li Youmei looked at the fragrant wheat porridge and couldn't bear it anymore. She took the bowl and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
She thought that Ye Chuqiu would definitely ridicule her, but she didn't expect that Ye Chuqiu would retaliate with kindness. At this moment, the tight string in her heart was broken. Her tears couldn't help but flow down, into the bowl, and mixed with her tears.
While she was eating, she couldn't help but say, "It tastes so delicious!"
"Second aunt, you are so shy."
Just when Li Youmei finished saying the words "really fragrant", Sihu jumped up out of nowhere and opened his mouth to laugh at her.
Although Wufeng on the side did not speak, his eyes were bright and seemed to be ridiculing.
She looked up again, and Lin Dahu, Erhu, Sanhu, Dabao, Li Shi, Erbao, Sanbao, Daxiong, Erxiong, Ganoderma lucidum, and other children were all there!
That was all. Lin Qingshi and Chai Chunfang also looked at her with smiles.
At this moment, Li Youmei's blood suddenly surged, her face turned red, and she could hardly hold the bowl in her hand. At this moment, she was extremely ashamed and embarrassed, wishing that there was a crack in the ground that she could get through.
!
"Ye Chuqiu!"
She drank loudly, with full anger. Ye Chuqiu turned to look at her with a smile, "Second brother and sister, this porridge is very fragrant, please eat it slowly."
"Second sister-in-law, my eldest sister-in-law is afraid that you won't be able to save face, so let us come and persuade you."
When Chai Chunfang saw Li Youmei like this, she quickly explained.
"Yes, my mother asked us to persuade you." Lin Dahu and others also said.
"I didn't expect you, mother, to be so unsteady. Just now you said you wouldn't eat until you starved to death, but this turned out to be really delicious." Lin Dabao said angrily, stabbing Li Youmei's self-esteem again.
"Hu~hu~"
Li Youmei was very angry, but she had no choice but to think bitterly: "Ye Chuqiu, wait for me, I will remember it!"
Ye Chuqiu walked away with a smile. As the eldest sister-in-law in the family, she is the elder. As an elder, she cannot be at odds with the younger generation.
Of course she had to bring her whole family to persuade such a stubborn and powerful woman, but she couldn't really starve her to death. That wouldn't be a sin.
What's more, a little gratitude is worth it, killing two birds with one stone!
Ye Chuqiu couldn't keep her gratitude points, so she immediately found a deserted corner to sign in. This time she was lucky, and she actually signed in a Dali Pill!
"Good things, good things. Sure enough, good people are rewarded. I, Ye Chuqiu, will do one good deed every day from now on!"
After getting this powerful pill, Ye Chuqiu threw it into her mouth without thinking. In an instant, she felt that her arms were much stronger and she was no longer a frail old lady.
According to the description of this system, she should have the strength of an ox now, and can probably fight three or five strong men. She has a little more ability to protect herself on this escape route.
"Mom, why are you so happy?"
Seeing Ye Chuqiu walking over with a smile on his face, Lin Erhu asked something strange.
"A happy day is a day, and an unhappy day is also a day. The harder the environment is, the more I have to smile to God!" Ye Chuqiu casually poured a pot of chicken soup for Lin Erhu, then walked to his shabby mat and sat down.
"Where's my cow?"
She looked at the camp and immediately felt that something was missing. When she thought about it more carefully, oh, it was just her cow that was missing! She also wondered who was stronger than this big buffalo.
"Eldest brother took the cows to find fodder." Lin Erhu answered.
"It's dry today, where can we find fodder?"
Along the way, the earth was all chapped, and there was no green at all. The leaves of the big tree above them were curled up and lacked energy.
"But we can't starve our cattle to death, right?" Lin Erhu said sadly, "Today, in this morning, the water has been reduced by nearly half."
"How did you do it?" Ye Chuqiu was also panicked after hearing this, "Didn't I ask everyone to fill up the buckets?"
"But we only have these three buckets in our house?" Lin Erhu said: "Everyone drank a lot of water in the morning, and cooked porridge at noon and removed a lot of it, and there is still half a bucket of sludge that cannot be filtered out.
No more."
"Then we have to find the river quickly." Ye Chuqiu said quickly.
She still has a few buckets of food here. If she eats less, she can survive for more than ten days, but she can't do it without water.
Her own bottle of mineral water won't last long. According to the system's urinary properties, the probability of signing something good every day is too low.
Is it possible that she really wants to go back?
"Qingyun, Qingshi, do you know how far away from the nearest town is?" Ye Chuqiu asked his two younger brothers.
"Sister-in-law, we don't know either."
The two brothers had never traveled far before, and on their way out, they were blinded.
"well……"
Ye Chuqiu sighed. She stood on the gentle slope and looked forward. In front of her was the endless wilderness, behind was the wilderness, and on the left was still the wilderness.
It is true that the ancients have never been seen before, and the newcomers have never been seen since!
"Mom, I'm back."
At this time, Lin Dahu came back with Dahei in hand, with a smile on his face, and Ye Chuqiu asked: "Have you found the water source?"
"Yes, mother, there is a small river in front, and there are some water plants by the river. Dahei is full." Lin Dahu patted Dahei's head with a smile on his face.
"That's good."
Ye Chuqiu was also relieved. She still didn't want to kill the big black cow and eat its meat before she was at the end of her rope.
"Mom, we have rested for so long, when are we going to move forward?" Lin Dahu asked again.
"There's no rush."
Ye Chuqiu waved her hands. She had not yet decided whether to continue walking forward or go back and harvest a wave of gratitude points.
"Brother, it's too hot during the day, why don't we drive at night?"
But it was Sihu who suggested that after walking such a long distance in recent days, the ground was as hot as fire. His straw sandals were worn out and his feet were blistered with blood.
"Hey, I also think it's good to drive at night. The weather is cool at night, and there is the North Star to guide the way. This summer, the moon and stars illuminate the road brightly, so I don't have to worry about going wrong." Ye Chuqiu also agreed.
"My mother has already spoken, so of course I have to listen to her." Lin Dahu also nodded in agreement.
They decided to go on the road at night, so the family packed their things and lay down on the tattered mats.
With the shade of trees, it was much more comfortable than being exposed to the sun and driving on the road. In addition, we had eaten just now, and after a while, everyone started snoring.
Ye Chuqiu was also tired. When she woke up, it was already dusk.
