Before fleeing famine, I evacuated the Duke's mansion and stockpiled tens of billions of suppli

Chapter 14 Pale Pale Face
Northern Henan has been in drought for a long time, and there is no sign of water vapor. Ponds and ponds are almost dry, and the barked trees on the side of the road are dying with their heads curled up.

The crowd walked for three days, but the sun above their heads was still fierce. The old cow pulling the cart flicked his tongue and stopped three times. When he got to the shade, he knelt down and knelt down. stand up.

In order to avoid the heat from the sun, Shen Yinxing cut down some branches, asked Xu Jingyang to twist some hemp rope, and then built a simple shelter on the bullock cart with quilts.

Obscure Moon hid in the bullock cart disconsolately, like a shriveled leaf, curled pitifully, the high temperature for several days made her unable to eat at all, so she could only eat some carrots and sweet potatoes stored in the space. Weak, the whole family let her eat most of the fruits and vegetables with water.

Obscure Moon understands that compared with those hungry people outside who can only gnaw bark and leaves to quench their thirst, he is already very happy.

After a while, Erya from the next door came over, lifted a corner of the quilt of the bullock cart, and handed in a slender columnar object.

When Wuyue took it in her hand, she saw that it turned out to be a green sugar cane. It must have been brought back by Dalang, a peddler from their family who traveled all over the world. This is really a rare and good thing.

The cyan sugarcane exudes a refreshing fragrance, and one smells it to make your mouth water, as if your teeth have chewed the crisp and sweet sugarcane until it overflows with juice.

Obscure Moon swallowed her saliva, then broke the sugar cane into four pieces and gave them to her parents and elder brother.

Shen Yinxing pushed back for a while, but still couldn't resist Obscure Moon's begging.

Xu Jingyang patted Yuyue's little head: "Well, yes, I know how to honor my father."

Obscure Moon's idiot brother gnawed on it when he took it, and he ate whatever his sister gave him.

Later, the family chewed the sweet sugarcane with relish, until the snow-white sugarcane foam was chewed until there was no trace of sweetness.

On the next road, Ozuki received food from the villagers from time to time. When she woke up, there were a few more radishes, eggs, and some fried soybeans on the roof. The villagers of the Xu family are simple and honest, and most of them know how to reciprocate. people.

The crowd walked for another two days. At this time, the water tanks carried by every household had bottomed out, and the fruits and vegetables in the Obscure Moon Space were almost exhausted, so we had to find a source of water quickly.

A person can go without food for three days, but not without water for three days.

The trees along the road were full of bare branches, and it was impossible to chew the leaves to quench their thirst. The dead branches were cut down at night to make a fire, but it would be easy to catch fire.

"There's water! There's water! There's a pond in front of it that hasn't dried up!" A villager pointed to a depression not far away and shouted excitedly.

Hearing that there was a pond in front of him, Ozuki got out of the bullock cart immediately. Seeing a shred of silver light shining from a bush not far away, Ozuki moved and swallowed his hot throat like a knife, and then pulled his brother Run to the small pond.

What caught my eye was a clear pond. Although the water level in the pond had dropped a lot, it was still sparkling, and there were still some emerald green aquatic plants floating on the surface of the pond.

The villagers who had been thirsty for a long time rushed to the pool to drink to their heart's content, and Luyue's idiot brother also took a puddle of crystal clear water and passed it to Luyue's mouth.

"Brother, you can't drink unboiled water. We have to boil it to drink." Although Ozuki was very thirsty, she knew that there might be many corpses of rats, ants, insects and snakes in this open-air pool. Most of the plagues in ancient times were caused by drinking water. Problematic water leads to.

"Yue'er is right. If you don't boil the water, you will easily get diarrhea after drinking it. You'd better boil the water and drink it." Shen Yinxing rubbed Luyue's little head.

The clear pool water was right in front of them, and smoke was coming out of their throats. Those villagers who grew up drinking raw water couldn't resist the temptation, so they just held the pool water and drank it.

Shen Yinxing felt helpless, so he didn't bother anymore, and turned around to boil water.

Xu Jingyang led the old cow and walked over. It seemed that he wanted the old cow to have a drink, but everyone was lying on the bank to drink water, so it was not easy for him to pass.

Ozuki wanted to wash her face in the clear water of the pool to drive away the heat, but because the water level dropped, there was still a distance from the shore to the surface of the pool, so she could only let her brother put his arms around her waist.

As soon as her little hands touched the water, she found something in the aquatic plants next to her.

Curiously, she pushed aside the water plants with her hands, and the things hidden in the water instantly floated up.

It was a dead body that had been soaked, and the body happened to be face to face with Obscure Moon.

The face of the dead body was pale and pale.

At that moment, Ozuki's face was also pale and pale.
