I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

Chapter 17 Too exaggerated
  "Sure enough, taking a bath is the most comfortable thing."

Geng Xiaoyan stretched out happily and looked at her arms in surprise, "Ah, Sister Chuxue's sunscreen is so powerful, my hands didn't turn black at all."

In the past, when I worked in the fields in the summer, my whole body was tanned, and I could only recover in the winter.

But now that she has been in the sun almost all day, she has not darkened much. One can imagine how powerful Sister Chuxue's sunscreen is.

Aunt Geng was also a little surprised, but also a little relieved. What woman doesn't love beauty, and she doesn't want to tan, but she can't take care of this when she is fleeing.

The escape she originally imagined would be very embarrassing and disgraced, but it turned out to be more pleasant than she imagined.

Although it was a little hot and tiring walking on the road, with sunscreen, enough water, and a tent to provide shade and wind when resting, I was able to eat enough every day, and the food included not only vegetables but also meat.

If other people saw this, they would definitely be shocked. Are they really fleeing?
  Could it be that he was going on a trip? (Recommend a book to a friend: You are not in exile, you are clearly traveling)
  Nowadays, it is unbelievable that we can still take a hot bath comfortably in the midst of drought and water shortage.

After the four of them took turns to wash, it was Uncle Geng's turn. After Uncle Geng finished washing, Geng Xiaoyan's eyes widened.

"Dad, why are you so dark?"

His father used to have bronze-colored skin, but now it is darker than bronze. Before, his face was covered with sand and dust, so it was difficult to see it. Now after washing off the sand and dust on his face, he found that his skin had turned darker.

Geng Xiaoyan ran to her father's side, stretched out her white and tender arms and placed them next to her father's arms for comparison.

"Hehe, Dad, who told you not to wear sunscreen? Look, isn't this the difference between eggs and preserved eggs?"

Chen Chuxue couldn't help but laugh out loud. Not to mention, this metaphor was really appropriate.

Xiaoyue next to her also clapped her hands and laughed. Although she didn't know what happened, her sister laughed and she was also very happy.

"You must be itchy!"

Uncle Geng glared at his daughter, this is a leaky little cotton-padded jacket!
  Geng Xiaoyan was not afraid. Anyway, his father was just talking, unlike her mother, who really beat him.

She stuck out her tongue, ignored her father, and ran to Chen Chuxue.

"Sister Chuxue, you said it would be great if we could take a shower every day."

"The more I talk, the more confused I become."

Aunt Geng said angrily, "I've never seen you being confused before. Why are you so confused and saying stupid things lately?"

If they had water for bathing every day, there would be no need to flee.

Geng Xiaoyan saw that his mother was slightly angry, and immediately smiled, "It's not that I thought it was hard to escape, but it turned out that it was different from what I imagined. It felt like a dream, and it turned out to be a dream. So it's reasonable to make some exaggerated demands."

"boom!"

After she finished speaking, she felt a pain in her head, and her mother stretched out her finger to hit her again.

"Mom, why are you hitting me again? It hurts so much."

"You still know it hurts, that means you're not dreaming."

In fact, she also knows what her daughter thinks. After people easily get what they want, they tend to have unrealistic ideas and need to get more.

"Okay, hurry up and help me wash the clothes, so that they can be dried as soon as possible after washing."

After hearing her mother's words, Geng Xiaoyan did not dare to think nonsense and nodded honestly.

"Oh!"

Chen Chuxue touched her head and comforted her, "Don't worry, it won't work now, but it will work later."

She has a portable space, so she can put the water into the space and take it with her. Then she will have water for bathing on the road. Although she cannot wash every day, she can still wash it every one or two days.

However, the portable space cannot be exposed now.

Moreover, Geng Xiaoyan seemed to be making some unreasonable demands, but in fact he was joking and wanted to give himself hope. She knew that her parents had passed away, and she was worried that she would be in trouble, especially on the way to escape, so she wanted to use these methods to keep herself going.

For example, she just asked to take a bath every day. With her strong sense of responsibility, she would do it if she agreed. Even if she couldn't think about it, she would find a way to help Geng Xiaoyan fulfill this request before she couldn't think about it again.

But fortunately, she is not her original self, so how could she not think about it. She has a golden finger and a bright future waiting for her.

In the evening, I still cooked porridge for Xiaoyue, and also opened canned vegetables and canned meat to cook together.

However, they didn’t cook too much, and the Geng family insisted on eating steamed buns and steamed buns, while the meat porridge was left to Sister Chen Chuxue.

Chen Chuxue tried to persuade her for a long time, but the Geng family did not agree. She also said that they had already taken advantage of the steamed buns in their hands, so how could they take advantage of it again.

Therefore, Chen Chuxue had no choice but to drag Geng Xiaoyan to eat together, but Geng Xiaoyan also refused.

Although she is greedy, she also knows right from wrong. Even though they have so much food, it is all brought by Chen Chuxue.

On the road, if I occasionally get greedy, it's mostly just a joke. I just don't want Sister Chuxue to feel pessimistic about running away.

Therefore, during dinner, she basically eats as much as her mother gives her, and she doesn't complain.

Not to mention that she would not be jealous of her mother for giving most of the delicious food to Chen Chuxue. This is what she should be doing.

Chen Chuxue was helpless, but she was a little touched that the Geng family still adhered to their principles in such an environment.

She knew very well that on the way to escape, it was impossible to fight alone. Only by joining a group to stay warm could she survive.

But not everyone can join a group, people are unpredictable...

Fortunately, although the experience was short-lived, the Geng family has already withstood the test, and Chen Chuxue will no longer hesitate when opening the treasure box in the future.

pat!

The flames rose up, and the red flames jumped in everyone's eyes. Several people gathered together, and they felt a rare sense of comfort.

After three years of drought and lack of food and water, these people were not only able to take hot baths comfortably, but also eat meat and fresh vegetables.

I even ate the after-meal fruit that Xiaoxue mentioned.

They all couldn't believe that they and others were actually on the run.

I'm afraid only those wealthy families can eat these things during times of famine!

"I still need to borrow Xiaoxue's cosmetics tomorrow and put on some makeup."

It's not that Aunt Geng loves beauty, but because they have never had enough to eat. In the past few days, they were not only full, but sometimes full.

Therefore, their complexions these days are completely different from before. Especially if they stand next to the victims, no one will think that they are the victims.

Therefore, they also need to follow the makeup that Chen Chuxue put on before, making them look similar to the disaster victims.

"Well, I'll help you draw it then..."

"Sister, I want it too, I want it too!"

Xiaoyue sat next to Chen Chuxue, pulling her sleeves, her watery eyes full of prayer.

Everyone has it, and I want it too.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

The night is like ink, and the whole world is gradually saturated with laughter.
