One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 108 Camping
The little girl also re-dressed and put on a set of Yan Qingzhu's clothes, which was very loose.

But in this era, resources are scarce, and there are too many people wearing ill-fitting clothes, and only a few like the Yan family.

It's not too strange for the little girl to look at it like this!

The siblings are more or less curious about this child!

It's a pity that now is not a good time to ask, everything has to leave here first.

None of the three said a word, the black donkey bumped all the way and trotted into the evening.

When the sky was about to get dark, Yan Qingzhi had already found a leeward place to set up camp!
Traveling at night is very risky, not to mention wild beasts, just invisible bags, and maybe they can kill people, Yan Qingzhi is not willing to take this risk.

Getting off the back of the donkey, the siblings share a tacit understanding of the division of labor.

Yan Qingzhi cleaned up the weeds and gravel, and knocked on the surrounding grass to make sure there were no snakes and rats, and then started to set up the tent.

And Yan Qingzhu also skillfully picked up a handful of dry wood to make a fire, and also used a few branches to build a shelf on the small fire.

The little girl didn't know what she could do, standing aside as if she was out of tune with this world, her clothes were tightly clenched, and her expression was extremely nervous.

Seeing this, Yan Qingzhu picked up the small pot from one side, handed it in her direction, and said hello.

"Can I trouble you to bring me some water back?"

When Yan Qingzhi heard this, she couldn't help but turn her head to see that the stream was not far away, the water was not deep, and the water was crystal clear.

She has also checked the surrounding area, and there is no danger, so she did not stop Yan Qingzhu.

After the little girl heard this, her expression instantly relaxed a lot, she hurriedly took a few steps forward to take the small pot, and gave Yan Qingzhu a few nods.

She seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't utter a single word when the words came to her lips, sweat dripping from her anxious forehead, and she didn't know her thoughts clearly.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Yan Qingzhu looked up and said with a smile.

"Go and come back quickly, pay attention to safety!"

These words relieved the other party, and the little girl's nervousness instantly had an outlet to vent.

With trembling hands, she tightly hugged the small pot in her arms, and with an eager "Yeah!" she turned her head and ran towards the direction of the stream.

When Yan Qingzhi saw this, he secretly sighed in relief, smiled and shook his head, turned around and went back to his own business!

The little girl came back with a full pot of water, Yan Qingzhu poured some into the water basin to wash her hands, and the remaining half of the pot was set on the fire and burned.

The little girl happily picked up firewood by the side, and shoveled a few wild vegetables.

Yan Qingzhi set up the tent, and then took the medicine powder for repelling snakes and insects and sprinkled it around.

Then he washed his hands and sat beside the fire. After identifying the wild vegetables that the little girl brought back, they shook off the soil, washed them, and cooked them together with a few small pieces of jerky.

While cooking the soup, Yan Qingzhi got up and fed the donkey again.

It made a great contribution today. Yan Qingzhi fed it a few more carrots and brushed it up and down with a brown brush.

After everything was sorted out and the three of them sat down by the fire, Yan Qingzhi took out the bowls and chopsticks.

Because there was one more person, Yan Qingzhi also divided the broth, which was rare.

Yan Qingzhi asked specifically that the little girl can't eat meat once a year on weekdays, and she didn't dare to put too much meat in her soup tonight, for fear that the other party would have diarrhea after eating meat.

In today's world, rushing to diarrhea can kill people.

In order to fear that the little girl would think too much, Yan Qingzhi didn't put much meat at all, just two pieces for three people, just taste it.

But just like this, the little girl said several times that she didn't need to eat meat and wanted to give meat to her younger brother, and even when Yan Qingzhi stopped her, she looked at Yan Qingzhu with a little sympathy.

Younger brother Yan Qingzhu:  …

Yan Qingzhi didn't know what to say when she saw this. She was about to be hungry and stupid. The battle in the afternoon had exhausted her too much.

Seemingly feeling Yan Qingzhi's emotions, Yan Qingzhu smiled and explained to the little girl.

"All three of us are the same, you don't need to give your stuff to anyone!"

The little girl didn't understand the deeper meaning of these words, but when she looked at Yan Qingzhu, she always felt that the other party's words had an inexplicable power to reassure her. She couldn't say it, but she was willing to listen.

Seeing that she was no longer entangled, Yan Qingzhu gave her old sister a wink. Yan Qingzhi was very grateful, and quickly picked up the dry and hard multi-grain steamed buns and ate it.

Hearing the sound of the two people eating beside her, the little girl smelled the broth and looked terrified. She quietly put the bowl on the ground beside her, reluctant to drink it, and only watched with her eyes.

He was nibbling on the hard buns carefully.

Seeing this, Yan Qingzhi didn't think much about it, and opened her mouth to remind her very casually.

"It's cold at night, don't just eat steamed buns, drink more broth to keep warm."

The little girl was startled by Yan Qingzhi's persuasion, and quickly wanted to wave her hand to say that she would not eat, but after she realized what Yan Qingzhi meant, she hesitated to withdraw her slender hand.

The thick porcelain bowl was already hot. She lifted the bowl with her clothes on, and took a careful sip. The broth without much meaty taste slid all the way down the esophagus into her stomach, and her hands and feet became hot.

The little girl squinted her eyes, the broth was a little different from what she imagined, but it tasted exactly the same.

Under this pitch-black night, a bonfire was beside her, no one wanted to beat or scold her, and there was a bowl of her own broth to drink.

Her eyes suddenly became warm...

After a few people had eaten, Yan Qingzhi cleaned up the dishes and washed them, so that she could have time to ask the little girl how she was doing.

"My name is Yan Qingzhi, ten years old... This is my younger brother Yan Qingzhu, seven years old this year, what's your name?"

Yan Qingzhi said that when she was ten years old, she was really ashamed. Fortunately, the little girl didn't notice anything wrong in her tone, but just replied a little nervously.

"I...I didn't..."

Yan Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, watching the little girl habitually bowing her head and shrinking her shoulders, only then did she realize that the other party said that she might have no name.

"Then, what do your family call you?"

Yan Qingzhi felt that a familiar name could ease a person's many worries and apprehensions. If she continued this name, she might be able to draw a distance from each other.

But when the little girl heard this, her head lowered even more, and her fingers subconsciously cluttered together, as if she had no intention of continuing to communicate!
Yan Qingzhu put down the pages he was flipping, his eyes wandered between his elder sister and the little girl, and finally stopped on the little girl's hair.
