On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 23 Haha, my father is nothing.
It tastes slightly sweet at first, and after biting it, it slides down the throat like a stream of water, and I swallow it before I can taste anything.

Li Shiyue wanted to take this gamble out of helplessness. Otherwise, what else could he do?
On the way to escape famine, the chickens that the Li family originally raised had long been killed and eaten, so even if Li Shiyue wanted to find an animal to do experiments, he couldn't find one.

Don't even think about trapping a rabbit or a pheasant. Not to mention that they have been traveling the whole day, even if they really have time to hunt, Li Shiyue doesn't have the skills to do so.

How could Li Shiyue, who was just a worker before traveling through time, have the opportunity to go camping and hunting?

Besides, judging from the fact that one fertility pill is rewarded for one task and three beauty pills for one task, the fertility pill is definitely of a higher level than the beauty pill.

Understanding it literally, Li Shiyue thought that if the host took this thing and then had sex with a man, he would be able to get pregnant in one go. Otherwise, how could it be called a "fertility pill"?
After all, this broken system is called "the cultivation of a generation of favorite concubines." So, as for favorite concubines, the means for women in feudal society to consolidate their favor must include giving birth to sons.

However, Li Shiyue would definitely not use this function, so she wanted to see what effect this fertility pill would have if the step of having sex was missing?
It would be great if it could have functions other than its own effects like beauty pills.

Li Shiyue stood there for a while, feeling back and forth and touching his lower abdomen, but he really couldn't feel anything unusual. He had to put the matter aside for the time being and hurried out to meet up with Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian.

When Li Shiyue and the other two returned, Li's mother had already cooked dinner. "Uncle Fu just sent someone to say that we should sleep here tonight and get up early tomorrow to organize people to look for water. If we can find it, we can stay here for another day and get more water for the journey."

Li Shiyue ran to his donkey cart and opened the lid of the wooden barrel containing water. Even though they had used the water sparingly over the past two days, nearly one-third of it had been used up by now.

Their family has two long wooden barrels for storing water. Based on this usage, after excluding the water that will be used today and tomorrow, there is only a little more than one barrel left, which is only enough for such an elderly group of them to use for three days on the road, or at most four days.

After all, her family also raised a donkey, and it was not easy for this animal. Not only did it have to pull so much stuff every day, but it also didn't have enough water to drink.

Compared with other families who don’t have livestock, the Li family at least doesn’t have to use human power to pull the cart.

If there was no donkey, it would be Li's father and Li Wangming who pulled the cart. If Shitou was counted, there would be three men to work with it.

But for someone like Mr. Li, I'm afraid he would quit his job before he even has to walk two miles.

As for Li Wangming, it was not that Li Shiyue looked down on him. He was just the kind of scholar who could not carry anything. If he was forced to pull a cart, he would probably get his skin rubbed raw or fall down.

As for Shitou, not to mention Grandmother Li and Mother Li, Li Shiyue herself was a little reluctant to let him pull the cart. After all, he was still a growing teenager.

Therefore, this donkey must be taken good care of, as we will have to rely on it a lot in the future.

As it got darker, Li Shiyue was given half a bowl of porridge made from millet and beans. He finished it in just a few bites. However, after eating it, Li Shiyue still felt very hungry.

She touched her stomach and thought, "Could it be that I am too tired today? I have done too much work, so I feel hungry?"

After dinner, Li Shiyue did not sit there idly. She took the axe and said something to Li's mother before walking out. She wanted to pick up some dry firewood to use for cooking the next morning.

But in fact, she wanted to find an opportunity to take a beauty pill to fill her stomach.

As soon as she moved, Li Qiutian from the Zheng family wanted to follow her. Li Shiyue quickly waved her hand at Li Qiutian: "Sister, I'm just going to pick up some firewood. I won't go far. I'll just take a look around the periphery. It's enough for my brother and I to go.

When the time comes, I will pick up a piece of yours too, brother, you can carry it."

After saying that, Li Shiyue and Shitou went out. Shitou was very obedient. When he heard Li Shiyue say that they wanted to collect firewood, he looked at the ground while walking. Li Shiyue took a beauty pill from his purse and ate it. After satisfying his hunger, Li Shiyue and Shitou started to collect firewood together.

Not to mention, maybe it was because of the beauty pills or the fertility pills, but when Li Shiyue held the axe, she felt that the knife seemed a little lighter and not as heavy as before.

By the time the two of them had picked up most of the items and were walking back, it was almost dark.

Fortunately, they didn't walk far. Li Shiyue pulled the stone to the side, and walked around it so that they could get back faster.

Li Shiyue, who was walking in front, suddenly saw a black figure squatting in the weeds ahead.

Li Shiyue took the axe from her waist, carefully picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the shadow.

The reason why Li Shiyue didn't just run away with the stone was that this place was not far from the edge of the camp of the Lijia Village people. If there were any bad guys, she could yell at them and drive them away.

Li Shigui, who was hit on the back of the head for no reason, turned around and saw Li Shiyue and Shitou standing not far away.

Seeing that it was Li Shigui, Li Shiyue was no longer afraid. She walked closer with a hatchet in hand and asked, "What are you two doing hiding here?"

Li Chunli, who was squatting on the ground, and Li Shigui, who was rubbing the back of his head, really didn't expect that they would meet Li Shiyue and Shitou at this time!

Li Shiyue didn't need their answer. She bent down and looked in the direction they were looking. After taking a look, she understood what was going on.

"you"

Li Shiyue suddenly stood up, pulled Shitou down, and squatted down. "Brother, put the firewood down quickly and move over here so that no one can see us."

Besides being the one who listens to Li's mother the most, Shitou is also the one who listens to Li Shiyue the most in the Li family.

When the eldest brother heard what Li Shiyue said, he quickly took off the firewood on his back and put it aside, then he curled up as much as possible and hid behind Li Shiyue.

Li Shigui didn't know what to say after Li Shiyue's action. He opened his mouth but finally closed it.

As for what Li Shiyue saw that made her take such a series of actions?
It’s Qin Tao!
Qin Tao and a man were hugging each other outside the grove!
But that man is not Father Li!
Tell me, it’s exciting or not!

Anyway, Li Shiyue found it really exciting!
However, he was still too far away. Although it could be seen from his height that the man was not Li's father, after all, Li's father was really not short, otherwise Shitou would not have grown so tall and strong.

The man was obviously at least half a head shorter than Mr. Li, but he was a little far away and couldn't see his face clearly, so he was really not sure who he was.

So, Li Shiyue spoke with great interest: "Hey, which guy is your mother having an affair with again?
How did you two find out?
Isn't this the first time?
Haha, my father is nothing."
