After taking the Junior Dali Pill, Song Xixi felt nothing except a faint medicinal smell remaining in her mouth, which made her doubt the effectiveness of the Dali Pill.
If Song Cai hadn't rushed in to urge her, she would have tried to lift the heavy bed she slept on last night.
"Xixi, there are only four of us on the road this time, you must follow closely." Niu Hua'er quickly put a straw hat on Song Xixi, and did not forget to give careful instructions, for fear that she would be frightened again.
Her sight was blocked by a straw hat that was not the right size. Song Xixi adjusted it slightly, revealing a pair of clear eyes. She nodded obediently to show that she understood, but her eyes shone with eagerness to try.
Song Wufu and Song Cai each carried a baggage. Apart from a few pieces of clothing and a few sets of bowls and chopsticks, the most precious items were a few bamboo tubes filled with water just this morning.
Afraid of being robbed of the water bamboo tubes by other escapees on the road, the father and son specially disguised the water bamboo tubes and wrapped them tightly with clothes to hide the shape of the water bamboo tubes.
In addition, there were several diabolo tubes hung around my neck. The diabolo tubes swayed when I walked, and I knew at a glance that there was no water in them.
The purpose of this is to confuse escapees who are interested in robbing.
"Come on, let's set off!"
Song Wufu said hello, opened the courtyard door first and walked in front.
Song Cai and Niu Hua'er held Song Xixi's hands one on the left and the other on the right, protecting her tightly in the middle. They immediately followed Song Wufu's footsteps and set foot on the official road leading to Huai'an Mansion.
There has been no rain for two consecutive years, the riverbed has dried up, the vegetation has withered, and there is no trace of green in sight. The entire land seems to have turned into an endless desert, and everything in the world seems to have died.
In an open space not far away, there is a human body exposed to the scorching sun. It is not known whether it is a villager here or a refugee passing by. There is a smell of decay in the air.
Song Xixi, who had witnessed such a tragic scene for the first time, gasped, suppressed the despair in her heart, and secretly cheered herself up: with 001 providing logistical support, she and the Song family would be able to reach Huai'an Mansion smoothly!
It was still early in the morning, the sun had just risen halfway up its face, and the air was already dry and dry. After walking for just a moment, the four of them were covered in sweat.
The effect of the Junior Dali Pill was very obvious. Song Xixi changed the weakness of the original owner and had endless energy in his body. It was effortless to follow the footsteps of the three adults.
Afraid of arousing suspicion from Song Wufu and others, Song Xixi did not dare to show too obviously. When they looked over, she would show fatigue at the right time, and then she would not let them carry her because it was too hot.
After walking for about two hours, there was a fork in the road ahead, and the group of four stopped.
Song Wufu and Song Cai walked to the roadside and lowered their heads as if looking for something.
After a while, Song Cai pointed to the official road heading southeast and said loudly: "We found it, let's take this way!"
Song Xixi stepped forward curiously and saw an arrow pattern made of small stones at Song Cai's feet, pointing exactly to the southeast.
Song Wufu narrowed his eyes to distinguish, nodded and said: "The fourteen stones were left by your mother and others."
After the Song family decided to temporarily separate, they agreed to leave pointing arrows made of small pebbles at the fork in the road. In order to prevent anyone from causing mischief, the Song family was divided into fourteen people, old and young, and even one less pebble would not do.
The original owner was already in a coma at the time, so naturally he didn't know this. Now Song Xixi looked at the stone arrow and felt the unity of the Song family again.
After deciding on the direction, the few of them were not in a hurry. They planned to find a place to rest, eat something to cushion their stomachs, and avoid the hottest midday to avoid heatstroke.
There happened to be a small village not far from the official road. Song Cai went to the village first to check and made sure that the people in the village had fled and would not suddenly rush out to snatch food and water. Then he signaled Song Xixi and the others to enter.
village.
"Xixi, sit down and have a rest. Dad will get you some water." Song Cai put down the heavy baggage, pulled Song Xixi who was looking around, took out a water bamboo tube from the baggage and handed it to her.
Song Xixi didn't drink much water all morning. She was very thirsty. She opened the lid and drank half of the water in the bamboo tube. She didn't dislike the muddy smell anymore.
Instead of blaming her for drinking too much, the three adults were annoyed that she was so thirsty. They kept urging her to drink more, but they only took two small sips to slightly relieve the dry pain in her throat.
Seeing this, Song Xixi took out the leftover meat buns and soy milk from the morning.
The freshness-preserving function of [Gourmet Buns] is indeed outstanding. Whether it is temperature, taste or texture, the meat buns and soy milk have not changed at all. Song Wufu and the others were amazed, thinking that this was the magical method of their ancestors.
Not sure if it was because of taking Dali Pills, Song Xixi felt that her appetite seemed to have increased a lot. After eating one meat bun, she didn't feel full at all, so she picked up the second meat bun.
The three adults didn't think much about it, thinking that they had traveled all morning and made the little girl hungry, so they were relieved that she had a good appetite.
It wasn't until Song Xixi finished eating three meat buns in a row and was about to reach for the fourth bun that they finally realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly stopped her.
"Xixi, you can't eat any more, you'll burst." Facing his daughter's confused eyes, Song Cai explained in a panic, and winked at Niu Hua'er.
Niu Hua'er quickly pulled her daughter over, and touched Song Xixi's belly back and forth with her skinny hands through her clothes: "Hey, I'm not holding on. Where did all the food go..."
Song Xixi's whole body was covered with itchy flesh. Being touched like this, she blushed and twisted her body uncontrollably: "Don't, don't touch my belly, pfft, haha——"
This was the first time Niu Hua'er saw her daughter like this, and she couldn't help but tease her and scratched her crotch: "Tell me quickly, where did you eat the meat buns? Did you eat them all here?"
?”
Song Xixi twisted even more fiercely, tears streaming down her face: "No, don't scratch, it's so itchy, haha, it's so itchy -"
The father and son of the Song family watched the mother and daughter having fun, and no one said anything to stop them. They all looked at them with smiles, and their mood rarely relaxed.
"There's nothing in the belly, and there's nothing in the creaking pit. It must be hidden on the soles of the feet. Let me see if it's true." Niu Hua'er checked in a decent manner and pressed Song Xixi on her thighs, seriously trying to touch the soles of her feet.
Start with the plan.
Song Xixi was so frightened that her toes curled up, and she begged pitifully for mercy: "No, no, no, the soles of my feet are gone, don't scratch my feet..."
Niu Hua'er was just teasing her, not really trying to make her cry: "Okay, okay, Mom, I won't scratch your soles, sit down and eat..."
Before she could finish speaking, there was a loud "clang" and the locked courtyard door was kicked open from the outside, and a dozen men and women in ragged clothes swarmed in.
Seeing the food placed on the table, their eyes suddenly burst out like hungry wolves, and they looked maliciously at the Song family whose expressions changed greatly...
