The body transformed by Daliwan became much stronger. Song Xixi's body temperature returned to normal at noon the next day, but she was not in a good state of mind and was so sick that she had no energy.
In order to make her happy, 001 took the initiative to "sell himself for food" and got a lot of delicious food from his colleagues——
Grilled lamb chops that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, plump and tender hairy crabs, spicy and fragrant crayfish... and even a bucket full of strawberry ice cream!
These unheard of and unseen delicacies made Song Wufu and the others wide-eyed, but they didn't know how to use their chopsticks.
After Song Xixi demonstrated how to eat it, the three of them started cautiously. They were immediately conquered by these delicious dishes. Apart from nodding their heads and saying "delicious", they couldn't think of any other words.
However, the Song family has never eaten spicy food, and some of them were not used to it. After just one taste of the spicy crayfish, they did not dare to taste the second one.
Song Xixi can eat spicy food very much, and showed a strong interest in crayfish, eating more than a dozen in one go without stopping.
The three of them just thought she had a unique taste and didn't suspect anything. They all clumsily peeled the crayfish for her and let her eat it to her heart's content.
The high fever last night had affected Song Xixi's appetite. Except for the crayfish, she put down her chopsticks after taking two bites of all the other dishes. With the worried looks of Song Wufu and the others, she hugged a bowl full of ice cream and ate happily.
Food is a good medicine to cure negative emotions. After eating the cold and sweet ice cream, Song Xixi's complexion obviously improved a lot.
Putting down the bowl and spoon, Song Xixi said silently: "001, thank you."
001 was recognized and happily walked around in circles: [Host, this is what this system should do!]
Its existence is to serve the host, and naturally it must maintain the physical and mental health of the host.
Seeing that 001 had misunderstood, Song Xixi did not explain.
In addition to thanking the system for getting these foods, what she was most grateful for was the Junior Power Pills she drew through the system's lottery yesterday.
If it hadn't been for this powerful pill, I'm afraid this little life would have been lost again.
Seeing his daughter in a daze, Song Cai was afraid that she would have random thoughts, so he pretended to be depressed and said: "Xixi, can you discuss it with your ancestor and ask him to transfer all your strength to your father? Otherwise, if you are in danger, you will be killed."
It’s so shameless for dad to protect a little girl!”
If Song Xixi was really a seven-year-old child, she would definitely not be able to hear the real purpose of what he said. At this moment, she also pretended not to know, and said with a look of disgust: "You can't see the ancestor, how can you ask the ancestor to move?
"
Song Cai scratched his head anxiously and said angrily: "My ancestor must have looked down on me, so he didn't want me to see his old man."
Niu Hua'er interjected: "You don't look down on me and dad either. There are more than a dozen of us in the Song family, and our ancestors like Xixi. He specially gave Xixi his strength and asked Xixi to protect us for him!"
Song Wufu on the side understood the intentions of his son and daughter-in-law, and looked at his granddaughter with encouragement: "From now on, grandpa and your parents will all have to be protected by Xixi."
All three of them acted. How could Song Xixi live up to their good intentions? She immediately agreed: "Okay!"
In order to protect your loved ones and kill evildoers, no matter how many shadows you have in your heart, they will gradually turn into the pride of becoming the protector of your loved ones.
This crisp response made Song Wufu and the others stunned for a moment.
Seeing that Song Xixi's eyes were clear and she didn't hide or dodge, and she seemed to have gotten rid of the shadow of yesterday's murder, they were relieved, with happy smiles on their faces, and they rubbed her little head and praised her: "Xixi is so brave!
"
The food brought by 001 this time was quite large, with a large basin of fragrant rice alone, enough to fill the stomachs of a dozen adults.
The three of them, Song Wufu, were thinking about their relatives who were still hungry and wanted them to try these delicious dishes. After they were seven to eighty percent full, they put down their chopsticks.
Song Xixi didn't say anything and put all the remaining food into the [Gourmet Bag].
Song Wufu wanted to stay here for a day and let Song Xixi recuperate before going on his way.
Neither Song Cai nor Niu Hua'er had any objections, but Song Xixi didn't want to waste time. After the sun was not so bright, she picked up all the baggage and walked out.
Song Wufu and the other two couldn't stop him, so they had to grab the baggage and go on the road together.
With the signs left by the Song family, there was no need to worry about food and water. The four of them traveled very quickly, covering about eighty or ninety miles a day.
According to Song Wufu's calculations, it would take about four or five days to catch up with the Song family members who were ahead.
In the next two days, except for the extremely hot weather which affected our journey, we did not encounter anyone with malicious intentions. Sometimes when we saw other people fleeing the famine, both parties were wary, and after a brief encounter, they hurriedly separated.
There are many skeletons on both sides of the road, most of which are children and the elderly. At first, Song Xixi felt uncomfortable and couldn't bear to look at them anymore. As time went by, her heart became numb, and she silently prayed that they would be happy in the next life and have enough food and clothing.
During this period, 001 released two new tasks in a row. Song Xixi completed it easily, gained 300 points, and the development progress increased to 0.5%. Unfortunately, he failed to get a chance to win the lottery.
This afternoon, a family of four was busy walking, and there were two waves of people in front of and behind them who were also on the road.
Originally, the three waves of people went their separate ways and had nothing to do with each other. Unexpectedly, a strong wind suddenly came up, dark clouds covered the sun, and accompanied by bursts of thunder, the sky seemed to be falling.
Everyone was surprised and happy because it had rarely rained in the past two years, and it had never rained since fleeing the famine.
If this heavy rain can fall, maybe the drought will end.
Heavy rain was coming, and it was obviously unwise to continue on the road. The four people in Song Xixi did not hesitate and immediately looked for shelter from the rain.
"Dad, there is a house in front of you, let's go there quickly!" Song Cai's eyes were sharpest. When he saw the house standing next to the official road in the distance, he quickly told Song Wufu.
Song Wufu squinted his eyes and saw that the fleeing men in front were also running towards the house. After a moment of hesitation, he said decisively: "Let's go!"
There is no village or shop here. Apart from the house, there is no other shelter from the rain in a short period of time.
Braving the strong wind carrying dust, the family of four trudged toward the house.
Song Cai and Niu Hua'er were afraid that the small figure Song Xixi would be blown away by the strong wind, so they held her hands tightly one on the left and the other on the right, leaving Song Xixi quite speechless. They used their strength to lead the couple forward.
When they got closer, they recognized that it was an abandoned inn, which was not uncommon on the way to escape from the desert.
As soon as I stepped into the house with my front feet, I heard a "crash" from my back feet, and the rain poured down, as if it was going to smash through the tiles on the roof.
"Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have turned into a drowned rat." Niu Hua'er looked happy and subconsciously pulled Song Xixi inside to prevent the rain from splashing her clothes.
Song Cai was not idle either. He hurriedly took out the bamboo tube and bowl of water from his bag and delivered them to the only stone table in the yard despite the rain.
On the other side of the stone table, there are already several water bamboo tubes, which obviously belong to the group of people who hid first.
This rain is hard-won, and the accumulated rainwater can save lives!
In the room, several people were sitting on the ground leaning against the wall and resting. They seemed to be a family. In addition to three sturdy men with similar faces, about thirty years old, there was also a skinny boy of eleven or twelve years old.
Seeing the four members of the Song family coming in to take shelter from the rain, the three brothers glanced at Niu Hua'er for a second and then looked away, with no intention of coming forward to say hello.
The skinny boy was like a wooden man, staring blankly at the clanging roof, showing no reaction to the arrival of the Song family.
Song Xixi saw the looming pinch marks on the young man's neck, and glanced at the three men whispering calmly, with a flash of deep thought in her eyes.
