Chapter 36

After dark, when it was supposed to be bedtime, the villagers in Shanbei Zhuangzi began to salute with their backs rustling, pushing carts and carrying children.

Xia Qiyue had already put the quilt into the back basket, let the two children sit in it, and put the important things into the space. It was dark and no one was paying attention, trying to lighten the weight for the younger siblings.

As soon as she was ready, Liu Jiajia came over, also carrying a salute in her hand, but it seemed that it was her own.

"Sister, follow us, you walk in the middle with me, it's safer!"

Liu Jiajia greeted her, but she was warned by the patriarch, so her voice was not too loud.

Xia Qiyue responded, and after the afternoon, her attitude towards Liu Jiajia also changed. Although her personality is a little bit worse, she is really protecting her. That's what she is.

Li Zheng didn't shout at all, but took the lead and set off, and hurriedly followed when he saw it, but just like this, he followed one by one, and he didn't fall behind, and he had gone a long way soon.

The best place to travel at night is the weather, the temperature is low at night, the best time to travel.

Xia Qiyue carried the two children on her back, and she could check from time to time whether her younger siblings were following.

"Miss Xia, how about I help you carry the salute?"

A small sound sounded from behind, but it was An Youde's voice.

Xia Jiuyue didn't realize at first that Miss Xia was talking about her, but when An Youde said it again, she turned around and could vaguely see that An Youde was indeed looking at her in the dark, so she shook her head, feeling that the other party Unable to see, he whispered again, "No need, I can do it myself!"

When An Youde heard this, he didn't insist anymore, he just said, "Tell me when you are tired, and I will carry it for you!"

Xia Jiuyue gave a small acknowledgment, a little embarrassed, and quickened her pace to follow her sister.

After walking for almost an hour, there were several forks in the road ahead, but no one caught up behind, probably no one noticed that the people from Shanbei Zhuangzi ran away.

Li Zheng took the lead and stopped to let everyone catch their breath.

But on the way at night, and drinking water in the afternoon, the whole team didn't make any big movements.

Li Zheng came to discuss with the patriarch which way to go, because they were going to Fucheng next, but no one knew the way to Fucheng, so it was a bit troublesome.

"Let's just take the middle one. We're going in the right direction on the way out of Liulin County, so we should run along this road all the way, don't make a turn, and wait until dawn!" The patriarch finally made a decision.

At this time, the people who were relieved that no one caught up could not hold back their words.

The two little guys on Xia Qiyue's back kept holding each other's hands tightly, and their hands were covered with sweat.

Along the way, the sounds of various animals came out from time to time, and no one spoke, only rough panting, the two little guys were terrified.

At this time, Xia Qiyue said softly, "Xuan'er, Ke'er, are you thirsty? Or do you want to come down and pee?"

It was obvious that the two little ones breathed a sigh of relief after hearing their mother's voice, and then replied to Xia Qiyue that the two of them were neither thirsty nor peeing.

Ke'er was so frightened that she didn't dare to let go of her brother's hand, let alone go down.

Xia Qiyue asked her younger siblings again, and both of them said they didn't need anything.

She was tired after walking for so long, and seeing someone sitting down to rest while Li was talking to the patriarch, she also squatted down, took a breath, and drank some water.

But it didn't take long for the patriarch to make a decision to move forward along the current path.

Little did they know, they had already taken a detour and headed in the direction that Anyang Fucheng deviated from.

It was still Lizheng leading the way, followed sparsely behind, but the members of Lao An's family followed the patriarch's family closely.

Xia Qiyue frowned, she couldn't figure out why they were doing this?
But it's a little unsafe for them to follow like this.

Due to traveling at night, Xia Qiyue couldn't enter the space to harvest wheat, and she was only short of planting three times to upgrade, but she couldn't upgrade for a long time.

Suddenly she felt her stomach growling, and then she remembered that none of the five in her family had eaten anything. Firstly, it was because they had no whole grains, and there was only one and a half wild vegetable buns left, which had been thrown in the space for a long time, and they were just thrown on the ground. , I took away the bag and used it, so I definitely can't eat it.

One is that they are not hungry yet, and they are used to being hungry. One meal a day, the body's instinctive hunger response will not work.

Xia Qiyue glanced at it. There were still 52 gold coins and 48 catties of wheat. She spent ten gold coins to buy five steamed buns. She secretly stuffed a steamed bun into the hands of her younger brothers and sisters. eat.

Then he broke open a steamed bun and gave half to each of the two little ones.

The two cubs were startled, and immediately lowered their heads with the steamed buns, even though they knew it was dark and they couldn't see anything, they didn't dare to look up.

Xia Qiyue knew that the smell of steamed buns could not be deceived, but it was even worse if she was hungry. If something happened in this dark winter, how would she escape if she was hungry?

Looking at the two steamed buns in her hand, she secretly broke them in half, and then lightly patted the arm of Liu Jiajia who was walking beside her. Liu Jiajia felt her pat and turned her head to ask her what was wrong.

Xia Qiyue whispered to let her eat it secretly, saying that it was bought from the city, which moved Liu Jiajia so much that she burst into tears.

Xia Qiyue hurriedly asked her to wipe away her tears and eat quickly, because they felt relatively safe walking in the circle of five men in the patriarch's house, and Xia Jiuyue clearly felt that An Youde, who was walking at the back, I took a sniff with my nose and smelled the smell of steamed buns, but there was no movement.

Xia Qiyue asked Liu Jiajia to give the other half of the steamed bun to Wang An who was walking next to Liu Jiajia.

Mrs. An Wang is smarter than Liu Jiajia. When she got the steamed buns, she knew that Xia Qiyue would not want them if she went back, so she just put them in her mouth. promising.

But Xia Qiyue doesn't care about these, anyway, they just don't want others to find out that she gave it to them.

Liu Jiajia was already unable to walk with her big belly, but after eating half a steamed bun, she regained her strength. Although her feet hurt and her body felt uncomfortable, and her stomach hurt even more, she still insisted on walking. with.

I don't know how long I walked, some old people and children couldn't walk at all, and there were also many pregnant women in the village. After all, there were many children in the family, and the young daughter-in-law was either breastfeeding or pregnant.

Those who couldn't walk included Liu Jiajia. She was panting heavily, holding her stomach with her hands, and was about to howl.

Also, excessive exercise in pregnant women can also lead to miscarriage. Mrs. An didn't dare to be careless, so she quickly asked her to sit down, feeding her water and fanning her.

After Li Zheng knew the situation here, he asked everyone to stop and rest for a while to catch their breath, but that meant that they had to continue on their way.
