Ancient natural disaster: The whole family went to escape together

Chapter 22
The people who fled did not get any water. At this time, everyone had dry lips and hurried on, and from time to time they looked at the back of the team with sinister eyes.

Chen Wanli and Wen walked at the front of the team.

"Look! You also said that the Su family is a good family. We are in a difficult situation right now. They are not even willing to give us water! They are so cruel!"

Wen was very thirsty and became more and more dissatisfied with the Su family.

She was not allowed to ride in the bullock cart and was not allowed to drink water. The whole family was so cruel!

Chen Wanli didn't look good on his face either. "There's nothing we can do if we don't give them water. We can't just grab it! Besides, Mom and Ayuan still have to rely on others!"

"You only know Mom and Ayuan! Didn't they drive people over? If they wanted to follow us, they wouldn't have done things so neatly!" Wen said impatiently.

Mrs. Wen was really thirsty. She thought that she must secretly get some bamboo tubes to drink tonight!

She was really dying of thirst!
Over at Su Bujing's place, Su Yuanshan was driving an oxcart at a leisurely pace, while Su Buyi and Su Buwei were walking on two legs.

In fact, just because of Chen Wanli's cold stare, the Su family could already let the Chen family's grandma and Chen Yuan, who were huddled in the corner of the cart, leave their cart.

But no one in the Su family mentioned this matter.

Grandma of the Chen family and Chen Yuan have always been very honest. They huddled together on the cart and never talked too much for fear of taking up a little more space.

Although Chen Wanli and Wen were a little unkind, the old man and the child were not wrong.

Just taking a trolley ride, the Su family is not stingy enough to argue with the elderly and children.

Along the way, because of Su Yuanshan's merciless words, the people fleeing deliberately isolated them.

There was a vacuum next to the Su family's bullock cart.

No one paid much attention, just chatting with each other.

In the evening, the group found an open space to rest.

In order to save water, the Su family no longer boiled food with water. Instead, they cut a few wooden sticks with a kitchen knife, skewered wild vegetables on the wooden sticks, and roasted them over a fire.

Sprinkle a little cat salt when roasting. Although it is not as filling as boiling it with water, it can still fill your stomach.

Watching the Su family roasting wild vegetables around the fire, Su Bujing took two bamboo tubes of water from the water tank in the Immortal Mansion without anyone noticing.

In the past few days, she has been refilling her bamboo tube intentionally or unintentionally.

Because he made a lot of bamboo tubes, Su Bujing was careful in his actions. So far, the Su family has not discovered that the water in the bamboo tubes will always increase inexplicably.

On an autumn day, the night was getting a little cold. Mrs. Zhao came over and took Su Bujing's hand to warm herself by the fire.

After the wild vegetables were roasted, Su Yuanshan handed each of the Su family members a bunch. Then he brought a bamboo tube over and each of them took a sip of water.

After there was something in his stomach, Su Buwei started talking more, "Sister, my second brother really wants to buy you some braised pork elbows to eat!"

Su Buyi laughed out loud: "You want to eat it yourself! Stop using your sister as a cover."

Su Buwei:...

Zhao said: "When we get to the county town, we will go to a restaurant to have a good meal. Grandma will treat us!"

Su Buyou was young, and he had suffered a lot during the past few days of fleeing.

At this time, as soon as he heard that there was a big meal, he immediately started to swallow, licking the bamboo stick while swallowing.

Seeing Su Buyou licking the bamboo sticks, and seeing the whole family's faces emaciated from hunger, Su Yuanshan couldn't bear it anymore and took out a sweet potato from his bedding bag. "Let's bake a sweet potato and eat it today!"

Su Buwei and Su Buyou cried out in surprise, Su Buyi also looked at the sweet potato with bright eyes, and Zhao and Su Yuanshan tucked their eyes sadly.

What a pain for these children!
The family happily roasted and ate another sweet potato, which made the people who were fleeing around them salivate.

They already only eat one meal a day. The Su family can still eat two meals a day.

Not to mention that they haven't had a drop of water these past few days, even if they eat only dry, roasted wild vegetables without salty taste, they don't dare to eat enough!
If everyone was in the same miserable state, they could endure it, but this Su family is not like them!
When you are in a quagmire, you will never see anyone standing on the shore safe and sound.

I wish I could pull that person to struggle with me. This is the most unspeakable darkness in people's hearts.

In the crowd, Mrs. Wen grabbed Chen Yuan's ears and said with a hatred of iron:
"When people eat, don't you know how to stick it with them? You can take back the food given to you and eat it together!"

Chen Yuan's eyes were red and he remained silent. He held his grandma tightly with his right hand. That obedient look made Chen Wanli feel very distressed.

"Why are you angry with the children! It's good that we still have stutters! Some people in the team are already chewing tree bark!"

Those who gnawed the bark were the ones who thought there was too much trouble and did not go back to look for anything.

The disputes elsewhere had nothing to do with the Su family. They rested after eating.

But today, Su Yuanshan stayed awake specially to keep vigil.

Because the people in the team can no longer be completely trusted.

In the autumn night, the fire made of wood "pops" and burns, which can not only drive away wild beasts, but also keep warm.

Su Yuanshan lowered his head and leaned on the old cow, unable to see his expression clearly.

In the hazy darkness, someone opened his eyes and walked softly towards the Su family's bullock cart.

Li Goudan was too lazy to go back to look for wild vegetables. In the past few days, he was not only thirsty, but also so hungry that he gnawed on the bark of the tree until his eyes glowed green.

He knew that the Su family who had an ox cart in the team had something to eat. He secretly stole two bamboo tubes of water and some sweet potatoes at night without being noticed.

With such a lucky mentality, Li Goudan took a wooden stick to gain courage, squatted down, and greedily touched the bamboo tube first.

As a result, his hand touched something warm and soft.

Li Ergou looked closely and saw a pair of women's hands touching his own.

Li Ergou was so frightened that he was about to scream when he saw clearly who the woman in front of him was.

It turns out to be Chen Wanli’s wife!
Li Ergou covered his mouth, tried his best to control his breathing, and signaled Wen's cooperation with his eyes.

Mrs. Wen was also frightened by Li Ergou's appearance. Fortunately, she did not scream, but her eyes were a little wide.

As the two looked at each other, they quickly and tacitly decided to cooperate in stealing the Su family's belongings.

Mrs. Wen glanced at Chen's grandma and Chen Yuan who were sleeping in the corner of the trolley, then reached out to grab the bamboo tube without looking back.

She was really thirsty and wanted to drink water!Drink all the water from the Su family!Let the Su family be as thirsty as them!
Li Ergou looked at the bedding and luggage under Zhao's head in embarrassment. His heart skipped a beat, and he ran away without caring about the bedding and luggage.

At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly sounded:

"Dad, there is someone here who wants to die!"
