Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

Isn't it for survival that we have to walk so far? But looking at the weather above us, this disaster is easy to happen, and I am afraid we can't survive it.

The time of dawn these past two days is around 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. According to Wang Shiyu's speculation, in a week at most, it will be daytime after night. Daytime without night is really scary.

Then we must find a place to settle down and stop walking. If we continue walking, we will easily die on the road. Day without night is very dangerous.

In the past two days, when Wang Shiyu had nothing to do, he would look silently into the deep mountains. He always felt that something seemed to be coming out of the deep mountains. The feeling of riot was just like the feeling that day when something was staring at them, or even more dangerous. It made people feel very dangerous, as if something big was going to happen in the mountains.

After the family finished their meal, they sat together and started to discuss what to do next. The old man seemed to not want to move on.

"Let's think about whether we should keep moving forward or stay here for a while to rest. The day is getting brighter and earlier, which is not a good sign. If we keep dawdling like this, we will see it for longer and longer."

The old man spoke first, wanting to ask his family what they thought, mainly because he was not sure whether it was the right thing to do to stay, and wanted to rest here for a while before moving on.

Wang Shiyu frowned and looked at her father and second uncle. She couldn't tell this matter, but she really didn't want to stay here. She always felt that something was wrong.

Wang Yizu thought about it for a while. He didn’t know what was going to happen next, so he spoke first.

"Dad, I listen to you. If you choose to stay, we will stay. If you choose to keep moving forward, we will keep moving forward. I have also seen it at the gate of Chuncheng these two days. Although Chuncheng is beginning to be short of supplies, at least we have water and food. It is not impossible to stay here. If it really doesn't work, we will keep moving forward."

Wang Yixian chose to believe what his father said. In fact, he really wanted to stay in Chuncheng in his heart. After all, Chuncheng has water, and he can survive with water.

Wang Yizu didn't go down, so he didn't say anything. Instead, grandma frowned and didn't want to stay in Chuncheng. She seemed to be very resistant to the word Chuncheng and didn't even want to see these two words.

"Old man, I don't think it's appropriate to stay in Chuncheng. Although there is water here, the land outside is still dry and cracked. The food in the city is only going out and not coming in. How many days can it last? It's better to leave here quickly and move forward. Maybe we can find a better place to rest."

Wang Shiyu nodded, agreeing with her grandmother's opinion. She thought the same in her heart. She always felt that it was not appropriate to stay in Chuncheng. Moreover, she felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Chuncheng, and it was even annoying.

"Grandpa, I think grandma is right. I also feel that it is not appropriate to stay here. I don't know if you have noticed it, but I always feel that there seems to be some movement in the deep mountains. If we stay here, we may become cannon fodder in the front row, and we may even lose our lives here. We can't leave our hometown all the way and die here."

The old man subconsciously glanced into the deep mountains. He didn't feel any danger, but he hadn't seen any reptiles in the past two days. In fact, he was a little worried, otherwise he wouldn't choose to stay in Chuncheng for a while. Then continue to move forward. If Chuncheng is not safe, continue to move forward...

"To be honest, the reason why I chose to stop in Chuncheng is mainly because I haven't seen any animals passing by the mountain for such a long time. Now even snakes, insects, rats and ants are nowhere to be seen. There must be some big trouble, otherwise how could these things suddenly disappear?"

"Since Xiaoyu thinks there's something going on in the mountains, let's just leave the Ten-Li Mountains first. Chuncheng is the last city in the Ten-Li Mountains. Going forward is Jianmen Pass. After passing Jianmen Pass, we will have completely left the Ten-Li Mountains."

Since they have made the decision, they will wait for the Zhang family to arrive and then leave. He also has to persuade Mr. Zhang not to stop and leave quickly. He believes Xiaoyu's words, so he can't delay any longer.

So they waited on the mountain for another day. One morning, they suddenly heard a commotion at the foot of the mountain. The sound could be heard halfway up the mountain. The old man knew that the Zhang family must have arrived at the gate of Chuncheng. Wang Shiyu took out her makeup tools and painted an old man on the old man's original wrinkles, adding a few more wrinkles, making him look completely different from the original.

Wang Yizu also painted herself up, making her look like an elderly person in her 50s or 60s, so that her appearance could be concealed well so that no one could see her. Then the two of them carried the case to the foot of the mountain.

They did not run directly to the Zhang family's team, but stopped in an empty place at the foot of the mountain, silently observing the situation at the scene, waiting for the Zhang family's people to leave the team before they followed them.

The people who left the team were Zhang Jie who was supporting Zhang Tao. The two of them walked slowly into the forest, as if they were going to relieve themselves. The old man took a look at their route, and carried the secret guard around for a long time, arriving at the place where they were going to relieve themselves in advance, waiting to lure them into the trap.

As soon as they arrived in front, Zhang Tao and Zhang Jie discovered that there were people in front of them. The father and son looked at each other and then walked forward. When they arrived in front, Zhang Tao and Zhang Jie were a little nervous. Zhang Tao frowned and looked at the three people in front of him. These three people had strange shapes.

The old man looked at the two people's defensive eyes and realized that his face seemed to have been changed a little by his granddaughter.

"Uncle, I'm Huan'er."

Zhang Tao frowned and looked at the old man's figure. The figure was very similar, but why was the face a little different? Wang Shiyu specially used waterproof cosmetics to make up the old man. Even if he sweated a lot, the makeup would naturally last longer.

"Huan'er, what's wrong with your face? Why does it look a little different from you?"

The old man touched his face and the skin seemed to have improved a little.

"Uncle, this is a long story. I see that the people down the mountain will not let you leave for too long, so let's make it short. We have put makeup on our faces so that no one can recognize us. After all, we have been walking behind your team for the past few days. If we suddenly run ahead of you and someone sees us, there will always be some people who have bad intentions."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Uncle, come and see if you know this person. We rescued this person in the forest a few days ago. I saw that he had the Zhang family's Fiery Mark on his hand. I don't know who he was given to and why he fainted in the forest. No one knows."

When Zhang Tao heard that this person had the Zhang family's unique fire mark, he hurried forward to take a look at this person. He seemed to remember that this was the secret guard he gave to his granddaughter when she was just carried into the East Palace. He remembered that he seemed to have given them to seven people in total. This person seemed to be ranked seventh, so he was called Xiaoqi?

"Huan'er, this man is the secret guard of the Crown Prince's concubine in the Eastern Palace. Did you have anything else with you when you met him?"

The old man frowned, it was exactly as he had guessed.

"When I found him, there was a little firewood figurine of a child wearing a gorgeous dress next to him. The fabric was very fine. Judging from the size of the firewood figurine, it should be about the same age as my granddaughter, about eight or nine years old."

Zhang Tao stared at the secret guard's face, then turned to look at his second son Zhang Jie beside him. Zhang Jie clenched his hands as he looked at the secret guard's face.

The old man might not be able to remember this secret guard, but how could he not remember him?

This person was the secret guard he personally selected for his daughter. In order to make his daughter live a happier life in the Eastern Palace, he selected people with high martial arts skills for her.

Now, this man was lying on a stretcher brought by his cousin in such a miserable state. Did something happen in Jinling? Why wasn't he with his daughter? Protect his daughter.

He carefully pulled the hair on his face twice and confirmed the man's identity. It was indeed Xiao Qi. How could he suddenly appear here? Wasn't this the official road leading to Qiongdao or Yazhou?

And based on what my cousin said about the child's height and size, he must be his grandson. What on earth happened?

"Huan'er, I know who this person is. He is the secret guard I prepared for my granddaughter, Zhang Qianqian, who married into the Eastern Palace. For some reason, he appeared in Destiny with a child. I wonder if you have noticed that there are others."

Not only does this man have an ordinary appearance, but he is also dressed in rags. Perhaps he has been busy lately, and there is not a single good spot on his body.

Zhang Tao and Zhang Jie, father and son, stared at this person closely. They left Jinling so quietly because they wanted to leave a way out for Zhang Qianqian. Now it seems that they thought too much. They didn't expect that their departure would make those people even more indulgent.

The secret guard who had taken the antidote woke up after a while, and looking at the four faces in front of him, he subconsciously wanted to take action.

"How dare you, Xiao Qi, what are you doing?"

Zhang Jie quickly stopped Xiao Qi's actions and stepped forward to grab his wrist. Because he was knocked out by the knockout sweat, Xiao Qi was completely powerless at this moment, so even if he attacked, his movements were weak.

After a careful look, he found that it was the head of the family and the second young master. He breathed a sigh of relief. When he struggled to get up, the wound on his leg was pulled and it hurt for a while, but he got up as if he had no feeling and bowed respectfully to Zhang Tao and Zhang Jie.

"Master, Xiao Qi was ordered by Miss Sun to escort the emperor's grandson to Qiong Island. I don't know why our whereabouts were leaked. In order to divert the pursuers, I asked my second brother and the emperor's grandson to hide. I don't remember what happened afterwards."

"Why are you escorting the emperor's grandson to the archipelago?"

Zhang Jie frowned. Although he was puzzled, he still asked first, the emperor's grandson should be safest in Jinling, why was he suddenly sent away from Jinling?

The old man and Zhang Yizhu looked at each other. It might be that the Zhang family had not heard any news from Jinling during this period.

The secret guard told Zhang Tao and Zhang Jie, father and son, what happened in Jinling a few days ago. Zhang Jie wanted to jump up and down, but was suppressed by Zhang Tao. He looked back silently and checked the Zhang family's team for confirmation that they had not discovered what happened on their side. Then he turned around and looked at the secret guard named Xiao Qi.

"I know about this. Do you have a pass with you? If you do, go to Chuncheng to recuperate for two days before going to look for the emperor's grandson. Remember to leave Chuncheng early. There are too many people here and it may not be peaceful."

Although the secret guard looked healthy and fine at this time, Zhang Tao was a martial artist after all, and he could smell the strong smell of blood on this man. He estimated that he paid a huge price to lead the pursuers away.

He took out two silver notes of 200 taels from his pocket, handed them to Xiao Qi and asked him to go to Chuncheng to rest first. It was a good thing for a secret guard like Xiao Qi with a free identity to recuperate in Chuncheng. Who could have imagined that Concubine Zhang's secret guard would actually recuperate in Chuncheng openly?

"Yes, Master, I have a pass with me."

Xiao Qi took the banknote and limped away, heading for Chuncheng ahead. The four of them watched silently as Xiao Qi left. Zhang Tao then turned around and looked at Wang Huan and Wang Yizhu.

"Huan'er, thank you so much for this. You helped my uncle a lot. Is this your son?"

Wang Huan glanced at his son.

"This is the second child in my family, Wang Yizhu, who is twenty-twenty-four years old this year. Yizhu, this is your uncle, you can just call him uncle, this is your second uncle."

"Uncle, second uncle."

Wang Yizhu didn't say much, he just called out,

The old man's tears suddenly flowed out. In the past month, he had walked in the wind and sun without shedding tears, and he did not cry when his grandson was sick. But now, he suddenly shed a tear when he heard the words "uncle".

Zhang Tao looked at Wang Huan with tears in his eyes. If it weren't for Wang Huan's help along the way, he would definitely not have been able to get here. He knew very well in his heart that he had never wanted to live before, but had always wanted to die.

"Your uncle hasn't been able to help you these years, but now you have to help your uncle and his family. I'm really sorry for you and your mother."

When Wang Huan heard Zhang Tao mention his mother, he looked up at the cloudless blue sky in silence.

"When my mother passed away, she told me what happened in those years. You have always wanted to use your military achievements to exchange for a divorce letter between my mother and that person, but the emperor has always disagreed. Uncle has done his best, so you can't blame him for this."
