Chapter 10
Li Rui and Gu Lei went hunting. Boss Li took his daughter around to check whether the terrain was dangerous. He picked up some firewood and vines and went back to make a bed at night.

"I'm back, I'm making dough buns today, and I'm making jujube buns for you to eat."

Third Aunt Gu happily cooks for everyone, she cooks delicious food, she just likes it.

The supplies I just bought are very rich. Li Yu thoughtfully bought some red dates for the female relatives to nourish their bodies, tea and medicine for the elderly, medicinal materials for medicinal baths for the men, and rice for charcoal fire. up.

"Father, come with me to chop a piece of wood and make a wooden barrel to hold water."

"it is good."

"Father, I'm with you."

Li Rui and Gu Lei also followed to work.

Li Yu wanted to cut down a tree to make a wooden barrel to hold water in. There was this thing in the town but she didn't buy it. She wanted to save some money and she knew how to make it herself. Another thing she despised was that they didn't make it well, so she sprinkled water when the carriage shook on the road.

After spending some effort to chop down the wood, the three of them cut down different lengths of wood according to Li Yu's request.

"What else do you need to do, we will help you."

Gu Lei watched as she took the tools and fiddled with her hands to complete the outline.

"Make two buckets, I'm worried that I won't find a water source on the road, and I can make a tea set to take away."

"Why don't you buy this wooden barrel from the town, and save some trouble."

"The wooden barrels they made are not good. If the carriage shakes back and forth, the water will be spilled. I will make a perfect one."

Li Yu sat there and started to get busy.

After being busy for a while, several female relatives cooked the rice, steamed buns with red dates dough, and my aunt would make dough if possible. Dead noodles were not easy to digest, and I was afraid of getting sick on the road after a long time.

Li Rui and the others went hunting and came back with two chickens and three rabbits. They stewed two chickens and rabbits, and marinated the rest with salt and seasoning.

"I'm not in a hurry to leave tomorrow. I'm going to rest in the woods for two or three days. I'll check the situation in the town ahead tomorrow morning before making a decision."

"Hey, why doesn't Uncle Li live in the town?"

Xin Ge asked curiously.

"One is too expensive. The inn costs money every day. Wouldn't it be good to save some money to buy food? The road is still far away. The other is that it is easy to be discovered by the rebels. Don't forget that the rebels are still chasing us."

Li Yu smiled at Brother Xin and explained.

"Oh, then, Uncle Li, if I can go with you, I'll follow your orders. I'll pass an errand so as not to attract attention."

Brother Xin desperately wants to grow up, and wants to share the pressure for his brother and mother.

"You want to go, not afraid of being hunted down?"

Boss Li glanced at Brother Xin.

"I'm not afraid."

"Okay, I'll take you and Xu Yang with me if you want to go."

"Oh! You went to make trouble, what are you doing, stay here and help me do some work."

Third Aunt Gu thought it would be a disservice for her son to help Boss Li.

"No, I'm going. Uncle Li is going to investigate the situation and collect clues. In some places, children don't attract attention. I don't know how to learn. He said yesterday that I have grown up and asked me to learn more. Let's talk today. It doesn't count anymore."

Brother Xin turned his head away and was unhappy.

"Let him go. It's right to follow the old university to learn skills. In the future, the Gu family will have to rely on the two brothers. Going to have a bit of insight, look at your Uncle Li's wink, and if you ask, you will say that it is your uncle."

Old Master Gu persuaded Third Aunt Gu.

"That's all right, go and listen to your uncle for everything, don't run around, this army is in chaos, I can't find you if I lose it, follow your uncle closely."

"Mom, stop talking."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I'll go too. I'll take care of Brother Xin."

Li Yu promised to Aunt Gu.

"Then I'll be relieved if you go, look at this brat, if you don't obey, just beat him up, I'm sure."

Third Aunt Gu is polite. After her husband is gone, she has to rely on her son to support the family of the third house, so she must not spoil her.

In the carriage before, Mrs. Wang taught her children to read and beat hands. She slept with her eyes closed and pretended she didn’t hear.

"You two are watching at home. We will definitely come back before dark. If we don't come back, there is something wrong. You should leave quickly and take the detour to the south as previously agreed."

"Yes."

"Don't come to us, don't all jump into the trap, the old and the weak have to be taken care of by you."

Boss Li repeatedly explained that he must not look for him if he is lost in the city, for fear of falling into the enemy's trap and being caught in the urn will be troublesome.

"Write it down, Dad, then be careful."

Li Rui didn't ask to accompany his father. One of the father and son must stay behind to take care of the elderly and the weak.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to take a look."

After eating, Li Yu sat down and continued to do carpentry work. She was really skillful with her hands, and she had already made two buckets in a long time.

There is also a small device, which looks rough from the outside, but there is a small buckle at the bottom of the bucket. When the buckle is put down, the triangular mouth can discharge water, which is convenient for water collection.

The lid is tightly seamed and does not leak water. There is also a mechanism buckle on the lid, which is shaped like a funnel when it is opened. It is very convenient to pour water directly without opening and closing the lid back and forth.

It can also be opened if you need to open the cover. The upper and lower layers are designed inside, which is double-layered to avoid water leakage.

The bucket is to be placed on the carriage, and it shakes back and forth on the road, so it is easy to leak and spill out, so the design ensures that there will be no water leakage.

"I'll try some water."

When Li Yu made the bucket, he carried it to a distant place, and only when he was in a place where no one was around, he introduced the space spring water into the bucket with his hands, and tried to shake it back and forth violently. It really didn't leak, and he grinned.

He went back with two buckets, "Look, there is no water leakage."

"I'll give it a try...it's really watertight, it's convenient, and it's so well done, Yu'er, you are amazing."

Third Aunt Gu also tried it, it didn't require her to carry the bucket, and it was convenient to fetch the water, so she kept praising Li Yu happily.

"I've already connected the water for you, and I'll do something else when I have some time."

Li Yu sat down and continued to work.

It was getting dark, and she had to stop what she was doing and was about to rest.

Lin Yue was rarely silent today.

Everyone got up early in the morning, started the fire early, made some millet porridge, ate steamed sweet potatoes and potatoes, and only Boss Li and Li Yu ate steamed buns.

Steamed buns should be eaten sparingly. It takes time and place to knead and steam the dough. There are too many refugees on the road, which is too eye-catching.

Third Aunt Gu wrapped some steamed buns and some salted duck eggs in oiled paper, and handed them to Li Yu, "Eat it if you're hungry on the road, but you can't be hungry."

She still remembered that Li Yu was so hungry that she was the one who worked the hardest and suffered the most.

"How come there are still duck eggs and eggs, which are reserved for the elderly and children. It is not easy to buy them once."

Li Yu saw that there were boiled boiled eggs and salted duck eggs, all bought from the town. There were no poultry eggs in the space, only grain and oil could be stored for a long time.

"We still have more. I'm afraid it will be spoiled by the heat this day. I have a lot of work to do today. I need to marinate it and then spread some pancakes and steam some steamed buns. Let's do our own thing."

Third Aunt Gu insisted that the two of you take it with you. If a martial arts practitioner can't pick up a knife if he is full, he will die.

"Take it, eat when you're hungry on the road."

Grandpa Gu's face was serious.

"Hey, grandpa, let's go, don't touch my things, I'll come back and do it."

"Understood, I'll keep it for you so I can't lose it."

The two fathers and brother Xin, Xu Yang, carried a bamboo basket and walked into the city dressed in peasant clothes to find out about the situation.
