Escape from the Famine

Chapter 8 9. Boiled Eggs

"Ouch! Girl Yu'er, this is a good thing! I'll cook it before we take it on the road."

Aunt Li hurriedly took out the clay pot, not willing to pour too much water, just enough to stuff the eggs.

Li Yi picked up those ginger grasses and put them away. He was surprised to see so many eggs.

He is thinking about what he has done these days. He said that everything is inferior, only reading is high. When studying, he felt that it was nothing to open his mouth and stretch his hands when he was studying. He also believed in the way that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. That absurd aloofness is useless, the truth is the ability to fill the stomach.

Miss Yu'er is a woman with children, and she can find food to support herself and her children when she is weak. He is a big man but relies on his mother to support him. Is he still a man?
"Mother, let me do all the rough work in the future!" Li Yi took the firewood and helped to light the fire. He would not interfere in these things before.

"it is good!"

Aunt Li was surprised for a moment, why did her son suddenly change his temper?

Chi Yu didn't pay attention to the psychological activities of the mother and the child, and always felt that the distance between the mother and the child was getting closer.

Looking down at the son in her arms, there was a tenderness that belonged to her mother on her face, "Son, mother will love you very much in the future."

Maybe she was not used to it when she first came to this world. If it wasn't for the motivation of her son in her arms, she really didn't know why she would stay in this world.

"Girl Yu'er, the eggs are ready! You should eat one first."

Aunt Li took the boiled egg and handed it to Chi Yu.

It is best for women to eat eggs when they are weak.

Chi Yu also felt that with Aunt Li and the others, she began to understand many things she didn't understand.

She was lonely for a long time before, and she never felt anything. Now that she has a son, she seems to understand what caring is.

"Aunt Li, I left three eggs, and you can eat the rest with Li Yi! I don't know if we can find something to eat along the way, we all need to have the strength to walk."

Since others treat her sincerely, she will not be stingy with her own things, and she will protect them.

Li Yi never expected that she could give him eggs. After being moved, he made up his mind and said, "Miss Yu'er, you must tell me anything in the future. I will go through fire and water!"

In this world, one mouthful of food can save one's life, let alone such a precious egg?

Aunt Li wiped her reddened eyes and said, "Miss Yu'er, both of us are willing to work for you for the rest of our lives."

Chi Yu doesn't like being treated as a cow or horse for her. It's not easy for anyone to live, and they can only live well if they walk forward in a group.

In this chaotic world, only those who can hug together to keep warm are the ones who treat you sincerely.

"Stop talking! Let's go!"

Chi Yu noticed that someone not far away was staring at the eggs in their hands.

Aunt Li was also sensible, and quickly wrapped the egg in a cloth and put it in her arms.

"Mom, let's go!" Li Yi helped Aunt Li to follow Chi Yu's footsteps.

Chi Yu ate while walking, and an egg was eaten quickly, as if he hadn't eaten it!
She didn't want to wrong herself, so she swallowed all three eggs, and then felt that there was some food left in her stomach.

The child in his arms was too well-behaved, he only ate and slept along the way, neither crying nor making noise.

I don't know who the man who left the seed is?

Thinking of that man, Chi Yu, made his teeth itch with hatred. He divorced a woman who was pregnant with his child. He is still not a man!

When she sees that man, she must beat him up to relieve her anger!
If you are not relieved, hit again!
"Aunt Li, there should be a city nearby, right? It's not an option for us to keep walking like this."

Chi Yu looked at the shoes with exposed toes under his feet, and the soles of his feet had already been blistered.

She grinned in pain.

Why is she going to buy a few pairs of shoes to wear?

On second thought, what did she have no money to buy?

Li Yi said at this time: "Miss Yu'er, it's best not to go to the nearby cities. Most of the cities here have been occupied by barbarians. They burn, kill and loot all kinds of crimes."

Why are they fleeing famine?Most of it is due to the chaos of war, and part of it is due to the failure of crops.

Years of wars have caused the common people to be unable to settle down even if they want to farm. What can they expect their crops to look like?
There must be food and grass in war. How can ordinary people turn in so much food and grass?
If the food cannot be handed in, the government will arrest and beat the person severely, and the person will be crippled if he does not die!
If people are useless, they can't grow food, and it's an endless cycle that goes on and on!

Chi Yu was a little surprised. Is this a time of war?
Then isn't her desire to live a stable life in vain?
Chi Yu's idea can't be realized for the time being, and he will still be fleeing on the road!
"Then don't go into the city for now, it's okay to find something to eat in the mountains!"

Chi Yu gave up the idea of ​​going to the city, and she doesn't have the money to buy it now.

She is thinking of doing some side business to make some money?

Seeing that she had given up on going to the city, Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief.

In the cities occupied by the barbarians, there is no way for people from the Central Plains to survive. They will only treat them as slaves.

"Girl Yu'er, the mountains are too dangerous, there are often beasts, we can go to the river to catch some fish."

Aunt Li didn't want her to go to the mountains, because her husband was killed by a big bug because he went hunting in the mountains.

Until now, Aunt Li has been terrified even thinking about going into the mountains.

"Mother, I can follow Miss Yu'er, I will help her, there will be no danger."

Li Yi didn't feel much about going into the mountains. He also went in a few times after fleeing famine, and came out safely every time.

"No! You can't go!"

Aunt Li's face was a little ugly, she was afraid that her son would follow his father's old path.

"Mother?" Li Yi looked at Chi Yu embarrassedly.

He has made up his mind to be a responsible man, so he shouldn't have too many worries.

They can't let a woman's family find food to support them, can they?
They and her are just traveling together, and no one has the obligation to support others!

Chi Yu didn't like ink stains like this. It's good to be worried about, but now is not the time.

If you want to move forward together, you must have a charter. Otherwise, if you express your opinions with each other, will they still go away?

"You don't have to go, I will go! If you go, you will only hinder me!"

Chi Yu entered the mountain alone regardless of the obstruction of the mother and son.

If you don't go into the mountains to find food, is it possible to starve to death like this?

Aunt Li also felt that she was too neurotic. She didn't want to lose her son without her husband.

Chi Yu went into the mountain alone, and found a nest of rabbits according to Arthur's guidance.

Looking at another paw swollen like a braised pig's trotter and sighing, one paw grabs a rabbit?Isn't this a joke?
Then catch it too!
Chiyu wandered around the rabbit nest for a long time, and finally caught the biggest rabbit.

"Master, do you feel aggrieved?"

Arthur gloated a little in space.

Thinking about the invincible master in the past, dealing with wild beasts tens of meters high is like playing games, look at now?

To deal with a rabbit has to use up all the strength, hey!The hero is in trouble!
