Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

When Wang Shiyu needed medicine, she could just take it out directly. She would give the old man a basket of medicine according to what kind of medicine he wanted, and then she began to quietly prepare three meals for the next two days. There was one more person in the team, so she could not use the space at will.

Wang Yizu and the others understood this, so when Wang Shiyu went out to prepare the meal, they quietly took the food and put it in the basket they were carrying. The secret they were guarding could not be known by outsiders.

Seeing that the man's injuries were not light, it was estimated that he might not be able to leave their team for ten days or half a month. However, they were now traveling light in the mountains and fields, so they had to find other ways to obtain food.

Thinking of this, the Wang Yizhu brothers began to worry. The weather was as dry as the bottom of a pot. Where could they find food? They couldn't go down the mountain to rob. If they dared to go, the old man would break their legs.

The old man looked at their sad faces and rolled his eyes at them. What a bunch of people! How could he not know what was going on in his family?

"Well, you don't have to worry so much. In two days, according to our pace, we should be able to reach Chuncheng after going down the mountain. Let's replenish supplies in Chuncheng. As for this man, I will leave him in Chuncheng and will not take him with me."

The old man calculated the time in his mind. Although there was someone who was lagging behind, their speed was still fast, and they would definitely reach Chuncheng in three days at most. The old man went straight to Wang Shiyu and asked him to take out the knockout drug he had prepared. He did not intend to let the man wake up in the next two days, so he better stay unconscious. At least his life was saved, and he just had to sleep for a few days.

The granddaughter's secret should only be known by her family, and it is better for others not to know it. With someone holding back the team, the journey will be slowed down a little.

Wang Shiyu found a lighter stretcher among the stretchers that she had "taken" from the hospital before. Dad and second uncle each carried one end, which was just right for carrying the man. At least they could walk faster, otherwise it would be too tiring to support him.

She also specially found out that this stretcher has something similar to shoulder straps at both ends, which can be hung directly on the shoulders, so that it can be lighter when carrying people, the arms will not be so tired, and the shoulders can save some energy.

The old man liked this stretcher very much and thought it would be very practical if used on the battlefield. He thought that after he settled down, he would draw this thing and give it to Mr. Zhang, letting him implement it himself.

Nowadays, the stretchers on the battlefield are basically just a board that carries the person. Sometimes, if the board is not lifted properly, the person can easily roll off the board, so this stretcher is really practical.

The old man had a good plan in mind, and Wang Shiyu and the others didn't say much. Whatever the old man said was what it was. The Zhang family was the existence of salvation for the old man. If there was no old man, there might not be their next generation.

Wang Shiyu looked up at the sky and felt that something was wrong with the weather. Not only was it terribly hot, but the sun was rising earlier and earlier. In the past two days, the sun had been rising at around midnight. Wang Shiyu felt that polar day was coming soon. If polar day really came, what about polar night? Would it come as well?

Once the polar night comes, they will not be able to move easily. It will be so dark that they can't tell the direction at all. How can they move?

In the past two days, Wang Shiyu has been muttering to herself, but she didn't tell anyone, because the old man had never experienced polar day or polar night, and it would take a long time to explain. What if the old man asked her how she knew it?

Are you just saying that you read it from a novel? That's nonsense. I can't even read.

In fact, Wang Shiyu didn’t notice that the old man often stared at the weather in a daze. How could those of them who depend on the weather for their livelihood not notice the abnormality of the weather?

The sun comes out earlier and earlier, and the nights become shorter and shorter. They have not had a good rest in the past two days. The sky is too bright, so bright that it is scary.

How can humans continue to walk without enough sleep? But he is just an ordinary citizen, what can he do?

They were far away from human habitation and couldn't get any news these days. In fact, the old man had been thinking about going to a nearby town to check out the situation these days. He was a little worried about the situation outside.

Information can only flow where there are people. It is definitely not normal for them to just walk around in the mountains and forests like this.

So the old man thought about it for a long time. According to their itinerary, they should be able to reach Chuncheng in two days. They must go down the mountain to the city to see what the situation is and find out what the latest news is.

They can stay away from human habitation, but they cannot be blind and know nothing. Now they have no idea whether they can return to Yunshan Town. They just want to find a place to settle down as soon as possible. If there is no night, there will only be daytime, and the days will become more and more chaotic.

It would be fine if only daytime was left, but the sunlight is already starting to hurt people. Once there is no night, the damage will probably be even worse with the light from the sun.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the soil under his feet seemed to be a little loose. Moreover, they had not seen any small animals in the past two days, not even the snakes that kept disturbing them.

If there are no traces of animals in a forest, it definitely means that a disaster is about to happen. There is a saying that goes, animals are very sensitive animals. It may be that all the animals have sensed the danger and have migrated to a safe place, or are preparing to do something.

Now we must find some animals as soon as possible to confirm whether these are true?

The old man looked at the secret guard lying on the stretcher and couldn't help but frowned. This person was definitely a member of the Zhang family who entered the Zhou family. He was very sure of it because when the secret guard followed the women in the family to marry into other families, he would add a mark belonging to the woman's husband's family on the outermost side of the layer of flame on his wrist.

On the outside of the man's flame, he saw the mark of a boat, which was the exclusive mark of the royal family, because the secret guards who protected him when he left had the same mark on their bodies. In the past few years, there has been only one girl from the Zhang family who married into the royal family, and that was Zhang Qianqian, the daughter of the second son of the Zhang family and the concubine of the current crown prince.

Haha, I had inquired about the news about this concubine before, and it seemed that she was not valued by the prince, but she gave birth to a son, who seemed to be either eight or nine years old, about the same age as his granddaughter. He glanced at his granddaughter who was wiping her sweat, and continued to study this secret guard.

The firewood man wrapped in clothes that she had just seen was taller than her granddaughter, but not much taller. It was most likely that this secret guard was the one who protected Miss Sun of the Zhang family. It was estimated that something went wrong in Jinling City again, which led to the accident of the prince's concubine of the Zhang family.

They were far away from human habitation now and had no idea why the secret guard would bring a stick man that looked like a child. Or, just like himself back then, the secret guard IE used his clothes to lure away the pursuers and never came back.

The people who were chasing him must have discovered that the person in his arms was not the one they really wanted, so they did not kill the secret guard directly, which led to this person escaping and holding on until his arrival.

However, he was not good enough to say that the people who were chasing him did not know how to wipe out the entire family and instead spared his life. There might be another person in this dense forest, waiting to be rescued. This child must be rescued. It is a good opportunity for them to reunite with the Zhang family at the gate of Chuncheng and find out who the person is and whether the child being hunted is the son of the Crown Prince's concubine.

As far as Wang Huan was concerned, the current royal family was getting worse and worse, to the point that they could allow their grandchildren to be hunted down like this.

Wang Huan rubbed his aching head, his thoughts kept going back to decades ago when the people around him took him on the run. He had really gone through a lot of hardships.

They quickened their pace, wanting to reach Chuncheng earlier to find out the situation. With Wang Shiyu constantly supplying them with cold boiled water and iced drinks, their journey was not that difficult.

Originally, Wang Shiyu wanted to take out all the parasols, but the old man wouldn't let her, because he was worried that the secret guards might wake up suddenly. Because these people's bodies had been modified, who knew that they were immune to the knockout drug. The old man didn't want Wang Shiyu to take any risks.

They had food and drink along the way, which was already very good. It was much better than those who were traveling on an empty stomach.

They traveled very quickly along the way and arrived at the gate of Chuncheng in just two and a half days. The gate of Chuncheng was now crowded with refugees gathered here, and there was a thatched hut where porridge was still being distributed.

He asked Wang Yizu and Wang Yixuan to take their family members to stay in the woods and not come out. The old man took Wang Shiyu directly down the mountain to the place where porridge was distributed.

The pot at the city gate was indeed still steaming, and there was indeed rice porridge in it, but each person was limited to half a bowl, and the porridge was simply served out directly after boiling water was added. The rice and chestnuts were still very hard.

The old man took the pass and took his granddaughter into the city after paying the entrance fee. The situation in this city seemed to be much better than that in Mo City. There were even a few restaurants open, but the food sold there was not cheap. It was estimated that food in the city was not cheap either, and water also cost money.

The people in the city seemed to be living a decent life, not as skinny as those people walking outside. Even though Wang Shiyu was carrying so many things in her hands and feeding everyone, the people in her family were still very thin.

The weather was already hot along the way and I couldn't eat anything. What's more, it happened to be that day and I had to walk for seven or eight hours. How could I have a good rest?

If you don't get enough rest and don't eat well, and walk such a long distance and are so tired, you will definitely lose weight.

The old man inquired about the situation in the city. It turned out that there were more than a dozen deep wells in the center of Chuncheng. After the drought came, water could still be produced from those deep wells. So the people of Chuncheng did not leave their hometown, but stayed in Chuncheng. In this way, the things in the city were consumed continuously, and the prices naturally rose slowly.

Also, because there were many refugees from Chuncheng, they gathered outside the city. The mayor of Chuncheng was called Wei Chunfeng. Seeing so many people displaced and hungry, he booked a porridge shop. They only served porridge once a day, half a bowl at a time, mainly because Chuncheng could not afford to feed more people.

This amount of food can only keep these people from dying, but it is definitely not enough to fill them up. Although Chuncheng still has some water to supply the people in the whole city, there is not much food left. So every time, they can only boil the water and feed it to these people, hoping that they can last a little longer. Wei Chunfeng also hopes to save more people, but his ability is really limited.

The old man and Wang Shiyu walked around the city for a while and inquired about the current situation in Jinling. Only then did they know what had happened to the children of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. They had never expected that so many things had happened in just one week.

It is really regrettable that all the legitimate children of the two princes died due to conspiracy and intrigue. Such good children died at a young age because of conspiracy and intrigue.

The old man was basically sure that the secret guard was Miss Zhang's subordinate, but what about the child? What made Wang Huan anxious now was the child's situation, but he had no way to find the child now. He could only wait, mainly because he didn't know where to find him.

There are still places selling water in the city. A pot of water costs half a tael of silver. You need to use a water bag or bamboo tube to fetch water yourself. There is also some food, but not much. The old man spent money to buy two water bags of water, and also bought some steamed buns and corn bread with three kinds of flour.

He held in his hand a small oilcloth bag, and the water bag was hung directly around his waist. When they entered the city just now, each of them held a water bag.

After buying things, they went straight out of the city and left the gate of Chuncheng. When they left, they could see some people pointing at the father and son.

They were now an old and a young couple, and they were exactly the target of these people. When the old man left, he turned around to take a look at those people's faces, remembered them all in his heart, and then took his granddaughter and started walking into the mountains, instead of going directly to where his family was.

Instead, they went around to another place. Wang Shiyu didn't react at first to what the old man wanted to do. Later, when she heard a sound behind her, Wang Shiyu realized that they were being followed. She had never practiced martial arts, so it was normal that she couldn't hear anything.

The old man didn't want to lead these people directly to where they were before. He probably wanted to find a place to deal with them.

Wang Shiyu quietly took out a dagger from the space and put it into the old man's hand. They had left the machete behind because they were going into the city.
