Li Xu used a torch to light the straw scattered in the temple.

The weather was dry and the moisture in the wooden beams and boards had long been gone. Under the erosion of the flames, they quickly became combustion aids.

Before long, the entire dilapidated temple turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Before deciding to burn this place, Jiang Jiang had people remove all flammable materials around to avoid causing a forest fire.

"Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang." Butler Zhou ran over breathlessly, holding a few thin booklets.

"Butler Zhou, what are you doing?" Jiang Jiang asked, pointing at the booklet he was holding.

"My wife heard what happened here and felt deeply sorry for it. This is the Buddhist scripture she copied some time ago. She hopes it can be burned with the temple, which can be regarded as a blessing for those who died tragically."

As he spoke, Butler Zhou handed her a few booklets.

Jiang Jiang took the Buddhist scripture and casually opened it. Inside was beautiful handwriting written with a brush.

Judging from the degree of ink coloring, this Buddhist scripture was obviously copied recently.

Jiang Jiang naturally would not refuse Mrs. Zhou's kindness. In front of Butler Zhou, she threw the Buddhist scriptures one by one into the place where the fire was burning most vigorously. The rising flames immediately engulfed the scriptures.

"Mrs. Zhou will definitely be rewarded for her kindness." Jiang Jiang said politely.

Butler Zhou shook his head.

"That's what I said, but Madam said that she didn't want this reward. She just hoped that the souls who died tragically at the hands of their relatives could be reborn in a good way and not have to suffer these hardships in the next life."

Jiang Jiang didn't respond, but just sighed silently.

Butler Zhou had important things to do, so he said hello to Jiang Jiang and the others and left.

Jiang Jiang also took a deep breath and called Li Xu, who was standing aside in a trance.

"Let's go! Stop looking. Our family is safe and healthy, which is the greatest blessing."

Li Xu also nodded, put his arm around Jiang Jiang's shoulder and left.

He recalled a new phrase that several of his children had learned.

It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

Now, Li Xu suddenly understood something.

He thought he was an adult, a father of several children, and mature enough. However, he found that whenever he encountered a difficult hurdle in his heart, his first thought was to talk to his mother.

The depressing atmosphere lasted for a long time, and the people of Daxi Village sighed at their good luck more than once.

If Jiang Jiang's family hadn't reminded them to buy food and store water, probably less than half of the people would have walked here.

If people are extremely hungry, they themselves are not sure what they can do to stay alive.

The more dangerous the situation, the more reliable Jiang Jiang seems to be.

Gradually, everyone became more trusting and dependent on her.

Li Shuming was keenly aware of this change. Although he knew that this change would undermine his authority, he had no intention of stopping it.

Sometimes he wondered if he was getting old. Especially after experiencing the kidnapping of Li Ergou, he became more convinced of this idea.

If he could reach Jiangzhou safely and settle down, he would consider passing the position of village chief to Li Xu.

With Jiang Jiang's help, he should be able to do this job.

I can have a good rest without having to think about those troubles. Every day, I take my grandson for a stroll like the old men in the village.

Jiang Jiang didn't know that her family was being targeted. At the moment, she was worried about Li Laibao who was sick.

Li Laibao was weak. When he first started fleeing the famine, Jiang Jiang was worried whether his body could withstand it. Unexpectedly, he was in great health at that time. Now, when Jiang Jiang thought he had fully adapted to this environment, he suddenly fell ill again.

Fortunately, the problem was not serious. After Jiang Jiang fed him several doses of pediatric antipyretic suspension, Li Laibao's fever subsided. He just looked a little listless.

He didn't go to Mr. Zhou's class for the past two days. Jiang Jiang would cook him a small bowl of porridge with some pickles every time it was time for dinner. She would also cook him one of the few eggs left at home every other day.

"Ping'an, Dongliang, Changyuan, and Lichan and Lijuan, don't blame me for being partial. Your brother is the youngest and the weakest. Now that he is sick, we have to give him the things at home first. If there are eggs and meat in the future, I will definitely give you some."

When the other children heard what Jiang Jiang said, they quickly waved their hands, a little frightened. They all knew that their grandmother loved them. Besides, they also felt sorry for their frail brother. They just hoped that he could eat more and get better soon.

Dad, mom, grandma, and even the aunt had nothing to eat, and the good things were only given to Laibao. This shows that it was not that grandma was partial, but that the conditions at home were like that. They were teenagers now and knew what was right and wrong.

Several children are particularly concerned about Li Laibao, especially Li Pingan. Now everyone still often calls him by his nickname, Xiao Shitou. He takes care of Li Laibao meticulously.

When Li Laibao had a fever a few days ago, he never left his side. If Jiang Jiang had not been firm and asked him to rest, he would probably have wanted to stay by Li Laibao's side all day and all night.

"Laibao, you should stay on the oxcart and rest for the next two days. When you are well, you can go to Mr. Zhou for lessons, okay?"

Li Laibao's face turned pale, and the cheek fat that he had grown with great difficulty disappeared again.

Sun Qiaoqiao saw it and felt pain in her heart.

As a father, Li Sheng was also very worried. Every time he took a break, he would pick up his slingshot, carry a big knife and go hunting nearby. Unfortunately, all the edible things along the way had been swept away countless times, and he almost always got nothing. Even the sparrows that were common before were nowhere to be seen.

Fortunately, there was enough food stored at home and no one was short of food and drink. After resting for a few days, Li Laibao recovered quickly.

Jiang Jiang finally put down the stone in her heart, but at the same time, she felt a little distressed.

She can't always wait until a problem arises before solving it. Can she solve the problem fundamentally?

For example, improving Li Laibao's immunity.

When children's immunity improves and their body becomes healthier, they will naturally get sick less often.

Jiang Jiang thought about it. There was still a lot of milk powder and various vitamins for children in her space. Maybe if she gave Li Laibao some of them every now and then, it would surely be effective over time.

As for the expensive Chinese medicinal herbs for nourishing the body, Jiang Jiang is not stupid, and neither are the others. They cannot afford them based on their family background.

Vitamins were easy. In her era, many vitamins came in the form of sweet lozenges or gummies, and she could give them to all the children in the family without any hesitation.

It’s just that the milk powder has a strong milky aroma after it is soaked, and everyone knows that it is a good thing, so she has to think of another way.
