"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. What do you want me to do?"

Li Zhuzhu spat out the weeds in his mouth and said reluctantly.

Seeing that Li Zhuzhu was willing to help, Li Huaer spoke.

"Dad, we don't have a pot or anything. You go find some wild vegetables and come back. Then wash them and stuff them directly into the pheasant's belly. We can roast them and eat them."

Adding some wild vegetables to the pheasant's belly will give you at least two more bites.

Although there is no seasoning or anything, the roasted pheasant was still a little oily, so the wild vegetables would not be too unpalatable in the pheasant's belly.

Li Zhuzhu finished listening? Reluctantly looking for wild vegetables.

Li Hua'er was arranging the pheasants by the water hole. After arranging them, Li Zhuzhu came back, but he didn't bring many wild vegetables.

"Hua'er, this is not because your father and I are being lazy. It took me a long time to find such a small amount of wild vegetables. Almost all the wild vegetables around here have been dug up by the village chief and others."

Li Zhuzhu said it without thinking.

This road has been walked by some people, and there is also a small puddle. It doesn't take much to think about it. The village chief and others knew that there was no way they would give up this water source.

Li Hua'er frowned involuntarily when she saw the wild vegetables in her father's hand.

"Dad, there are too few wild vegetables here. Forget it, just take as little as possible. Let's fill our stomachs first, otherwise we, father and daughter, will probably starve to death."

Li Hua'er took the wild vegetables from Li Zhuzhu's hand, washed them clean, and stuffed them directly into the pheasant's belly. The pheasant is then racked and roasted slowly.

After eating the pheasant, the father and daughter were still a little unsatisfied.

"Hua'er, there is water here, how about we stay here for a while longer, maybe we can catch some more prey?"

Li Hua'er rolled her eyes at Li Zhuzhu.

"I want to treat you well. If you're not afraid of those bandits coming after you, I'm still afraid."

At this moment, Li Hua'er just wanted to catch up with Lin Jiuyue and the others.

He thought to himself that as long as he caught up with Lin Jiuyue and the others, his life safety would be guaranteed.

After all, even if the bandits catch up by then, Lin Jiuyue and the others will not be able to ignore them.

Li Zhuzi was frightened for a moment when he mentioned bandits.

"Yes, yes, there are bandits behind us, we need to leave quickly."

After Li Zhuzhu finished speaking, he stopped lying down, sat up, and walked forward along the path that Lin Jiuyue and others had walked. He was so panicked that he even forgot about Li Hua'er.

……

On Lin Jiuyue's side, the people in the team replenished their water, and every household filled water containers, and their hearts were instantly filled with hope. Even walking on the road felt a lot easier.

In order to avoid danger, Lin Jiuyue had to release his consciousness from time to time along the way to check the surrounding environment to see if it was safe.

Just as the team walked forward for another two days, Lin Jiuyue used his consciousness to check the surrounding situation again, only to find that there was only this road ahead that could pass through the mountain.

Unfortunately, the bandits who had been avoided before would also take this road if they wanted to cross the mountain.

In other words, it is very likely that he and others will join up with the bandits they avoided before.

"what happened?"

Seeing Lin Jiuyue frowning from time to time, Gu Chengyan asked a few questions in confusion.

Lin Jiuyue didn't know how to explain to Gu Chengyan. No explanation at all.

Although there is a possibility of encountering each other, it shouldn't be such a coincidence. What if the two teams happen to be staggered?

"Nothing, let's go."

With a sense of luck, Lin Jiuyue and others continued to move forward.

At this moment, Li Hua'er and Li Zhuzhu also caught up.

When he saw Lin Jiuyue and others, Li Zhuzhu was so excited that he almost cried.

"Uh-huh, village chief, is it really you? I've finally caught up with you."

The village chief frowned involuntarily when he saw Li Zhuzhu and his daughter suddenly appearing in front of him.

"Li Zhuzhu? Li Hua'er, why are you here?"

Li Zhuzhu wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Well, village chief, it's a long story. You don't know how much hardship we, father and daughter, have endured along the way. If I had known better, I wouldn't have left with them..."

After chasing non-stop for several days, Li Zhuzi finally caught up with Lin Jiuyue and others. He was so excited that he told the village chief everything that happened along the way.

Of course, Li Zhuzhu didn't say anything about Li Hua'er's mother. Li Huaer didn't expose it either.

The father and daughter had discussed it on the road, and no one was allowed to talk about it in front of outsiders, at least not on the way out.

In order to avoid arousing the resentment of the village chief and others, he and others will be kicked out of the team when the time comes.

After listening to Li Zhuzi's "crying" description, the village chief sighed heavily.

"Oh, I didn't expect that there were actually bandits circling that road. Fortunately, we took a long detour. Otherwise, we still don't know what would have happened."

Some villagers were also listening to Li Zhuzi's words. After listening, they all looked at Lin Jiuyue with admiring eyes.

"Oh, we can get here safely, thanks to Jiuyue Girl. If it weren't for her, how could we have thought of taking a long way around? If we hadn't taken a long way, we would have been caught by the bandits now."

"Isn't that right? Although this road is a bit detoured, it is safe."

"It's strange to say that this September girl and the boy from the Ji family are like lucky stars. They seem to be able to predict danger, isn't it? They have successfully saved us from danger."

"Who says it's not the case? People in the village used to say that the girl in September and the boy from the Ji family were the 'nemesis'. In my opinion, it's all nonsense. That's it. Where is the nemesis? If it were really the nemesis, I would also be willing to be one. Nemesis!”

"Come on, it would be great if you had that fate."

Lin Jiuyue and Gu Chengyan sat on the ground, listening to the villagers' gossip. They looked at each other and ignored each other.

At the beginning, people in this team must have said that they were the nemesis. This gave me a little benefit, and they started to say good things about themselves.

Sure enough, the strongest relationship between people is the relationship of interest.

"Ji Liangchuan. Long time no see."

Li Hua'er saw Gu Chengyan and Lin Jiuyue sitting on the ground, looking leisurely.

Looking again, there was a mule cart beside the two people. The mule cart was covered with oilcloth, and there was an unknown amount of food on the rack.

Li Hua'er, who had originally stopped thinking about Gu Chengyan, now started thinking about Gu Chengyan again.

Gu Chengyan raised his head and looked at Li Hua'er. The body did not move.

"what's up?"

Li Hua'er pretended to be shy and pinched the handkerchief in her hand.

"It's okay. It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought we would never see you again in this life."

Lin Jiuyue looked at Li Hua'er's appearance with a smile. She knew that Li Hua'er was interested in Gu Chengyan, but she deliberately didn't avoid it. Instead, they acted as spectators.
