Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

"Huan'er, you are here."

Wang Huan nodded. This was due to his hard work. His feet almost didn’t belong to him anymore.

"Uncle, this is today's dry food, and there are some cooling potions. We prepared them earlier. You can take them back for emergency use."

The bag was handed to Zhang Tao, who took it and put it on his back.

"Go back quickly. Watch the road late at night. I'm going back too."

Zhang Tao walked back with the bag on his back, and the old man also walked back slowly holding Wang Shiyu's hand.

Grandma and my second aunt took turns to keep watch at night, so that when we left in the morning, we could rest for a while in the car and wouldn't be too tired.

Just after they left Yunshan Town and Anshan County, when they were about to rest at night, the sky in the distance seemed to have become bright.

Looking at the fireball falling from the sky again, everyone was silent, as if they were back to the scene a month ago when the fireball fell on their house.

Unexpectedly, after a month, fireballs began to fall from the sky again. Mo Ruru held her sister-in-law's hand tightly. Zhou Guichun looked at the fireball sadly, then held her sister-in-law's hand with her backhand and slowly closed her eyes.

It’s not that she didn’t want to take her family with her, it’s just that... Every family has its own problems, and hers were particularly troublesome.

Thinking back to when the fireball first fell from the sky, everyone was busy rescuing those who were buried, and she hurriedly took her husband back to her parents' home to help.

When she returned home, her house was also smashed by falling rocks, even worse than her husband's house. Even her father's leg was injured by the rocks.

She kindly brought her husband home to help, and soon her father-in-law also came with his uncle and his family to help.

When she just returned home, Zhou Guichun's heart skipped a beat when she saw the dilapidated house. She quickly opened the door and looked inside. She was relieved to find that her parents and brother and sister-in-law were all fine.

My father's leg was injured when he tried to rescue his sleeping grandson, but this has nothing to do with Zhou Guichun.

"Mom, how are you guys? I brought Yizhu back to help."

Originally, I was worried about the situation at home and wanted to go back to my parents' home to help out, because people have different levels of relatives and friends.

But her mother actually cursed her for being a troublemaker and a jinx.

"Zhou Guichun, you jinx, what are you doing in town? Since you were born, your family has had good things. We finally waited for you to get married and our family conditions improved. But you had to move to town to bring bad luck to our Zhou family."

"You've only been in town for a few days, and you've already caused your father's leg to break. You jinx, get out of here, right now. There will be no more unlucky people like you in our Zhou family from now on."

Zhou Guichun's mother was already very upset when she saw her husband's broken leg. This injury meant no income, and Zhou Guichun happened to come back and walked into the trap, so she started scolding him.

Wang Yizu clenched his hands and looked at his wife with a sad face. If it weren't for his wife's sake, he never wanted to see this family again.

Zhou Guichun was so heartbroken that she couldn't stop crying. Since she was a child, she had only two older brothers and a younger brother in the family and they didn't have to do anything. Her father taught in the town and basically gave all the money he earned to the men in the family.

She had been helping with housework since she could walk. Later, when she married Wang Yizu, she took a betrothal gift of 20 taels of silver and sold herself directly to the Wang family.

If my father-in-law didn't have some ability, she would have wanted to deduct money from her husband's family and subsidize her parents' family. Now that I was kicked out of the house by my father-in-law, I guess I am still under her control.

"Mom, I brought Yizhu back to see if you are okay. Since you are so strong, just go and do your work. Yizhu and I will leave first."

Her father was lying on the ground pretending to be dead. He was obviously awake, but he did not stop her mother from making a scene. He just saw that her in-laws had some money at home and he wanted some money.

Zhou Guichun's elder brother, Zhou Ningbo, became angry instantly. Ever since his sister got married, she had become stubborn and started to go against the family.

"Zhou Guichun, why are you walking? Do you have your parents or your elder brother in mind? You can't see that your father's leg is injured, and you don't come to help."

Zhou Ningbo's filial appearance instantly made Zhou Guichun feel uncomfortable.

"Forget it. I shouldn't come to the Zhou family anymore. You've already sold me out for twenty taels of silver. You've already spread the rumor that I brought misfortune upon my parents. Don't let me blame you for bringing misfortune upon your parents if something happens to you later."

"Yizhu, let's go find my father-in-law. If we help our neighbors, we might get a thank you. But if we help them, they might turn the tables and accuse us of stealing."

Zhou Guichun originally had some affection for the Zhou family, but all of it was washed away by Zhou's mother's harsh words, Zhou's father's inaction, and Zhou's eldest brother's self-righteousness. She felt that she really shouldn't come back.

Back then, Wang Yizu saved herself when she fell into the water because she went to wash clothes without eating, for the sake of the woman's reputation.

Wang Yizu went to Zhou's family to propose marriage, but her mother tried her best to stop her. She asked for fifty taels of silver as a betrothal gift and eight major items. Wang Yizu was so angry that she left.

As a result, her mother said she would go to the county government to sue Wang Yizhui for being a hooligan, without caring about her own reputation at all.

The matter was brought to her father, who was teaching at the time. Her father felt ashamed and suppressed her mother. Later, her father-in-law came forward and took her away with a betrothal gift of twenty taels of silver.

Her parents didn't even give her a pair of torn clothes, and made her go to the Wang family wearing clothes full of patches.

Even so, her mother would go to the Wang family to beg for money from time to time, and was finally driven out by her father-in-law with a carrying pole.

After arriving at Wang's house, her eldest sister-in-law gave her old clothes that she had replaced with new ones, and also held a banquet, announcing that she was the family's daughter-in-law.

Now, looking at the fireball falling from the sky again, although she was a little sad, she was not confused after all.

If she went back now, her mother would probably sell her to her without any hesitation.

She no longer wanted to be sold by her own mother, so she decided to just follow her husband and leave here.

As for the fate of my mother's family, it depends on God's will. If God lets them live, it will be a disaster for thousands of years.

After recovering from the shock, Zhou Guichun sighed slowly, then turned and looked forward, no longer looking at the place behind where the fireball had fallen.

Even though she knew her parents and brothers might get hurt again, she didn't seem to care anymore and she no longer felt nervous about the possibility that they might be in danger.

Seeing that her sister-in-law had recovered, Mo Ru Ru slowly let go of her hand and turned to check on the two children to prevent them from running around.

At this time, once people were separated, it would be difficult to find them again, so the whole family gathered around the cart.

The old man was also ready to call his two sons to set off immediately. Although they were some distance away from where the fireball fell, they were still afraid of being implicated.

Sure enough, after a while, the team in front escorting the prisoners had already started to call for departure. The noise was a bit noisy, but the old man saw it immediately, so he quickly called his two sons to keep up with the team in front and not fall behind.

The two sons of the Wang family also hurried, one pushing a cart and the other pulling a cart, and they followed forward. Even though it was already late at night and they couldn't see the road clearly, they held torches and followed the team in front, taking one step forward and one step back.

Although it is much cooler at night than during the day, my feet can no longer bear the hassle of walking so fast. In addition, I have walked a lot during the day. After walking for so many days, the blisters on the soles of my feet have burst a long time ago, and they have formed and burst again. Now there is basically no good skin on my feet.

Fortunately, my family has prepared a lot of shoes with thousand-layer soles, which are much better than those who wear straw sandals.

We almost didn't rest in the second half of the night and walked until dawn. Now it was early morning and no one could walk anymore. We had walked for the entire afternoon and the first half of the night, and now we were walking for the entire second half of the night again. Everyone was out of breath and couldn't walk at all.

The old man was in good health, but he had to rest several times along the way. Even my father and second uncle, who had been silent the whole time, were exhausted.

Not to mention my mother and second aunt. My younger brother had been lying on the cart. In order to allow their husbands and brother-in-law to walk faster, the two women took turns carrying my younger brother and only put him on the cart to rest for a while when they couldn't carry him anymore.

Wang Shiyu was fine. Although she was wearing shoes with thousand-layer soles, she had an insole underneath. Her feet were extremely tired, but she could still hold on. She couldn't let herself be left too far behind by the team, otherwise it would be difficult to catch up.

The old man also didn't want the team in front to get too far behind, so in order to make the prisoners walk faster, the officers started whipping the prisoners who were about to fall behind. The ones who fell behind were all covered with scars from the whip.

"Why don't you leave quickly? Are you waiting to die? Go faster, go faster, and leave this place as soon as possible."

Hearing the noisy noises ahead, the Wang family members were very quiet, trying to conserve their energy to catch up with the team ahead that was escorting the prisoners.

Although the old man was very worried about the people from the Zhang family ahead, now was not the time to go see them. Everyone walked hurriedly until dawn, when they could no longer see the situation in the county town over there, and only then did they stop.

The Wang family was also very tired. After they stopped, everyone collapsed on the ground. There were some people in the back who had some ulterior motives, but at this moment they had no intention of causing trouble at all, and they all collapsed on the ground.

Wang Shiyu was also very tired, so she followed the group and lay down on the side of the dirt road, looking at the empty farmland, not knowing what she was thinking.

This disaster seemed like a warning from God to the world. All the farmlands could not grow crops. Wasn't this forcing the farmers to die?

Now that the weather is getting hotter, water is becoming more and more scarce. Their family no longer has unlimited water to drink like when they first moved out of the town. Everyone carries a water bag with them, or a gourd to moisten their lips when they cough.

Even if they still have water, they have to pretend to be short of water, otherwise their family will be a fat sheep.

Now after stopping the car, take out the black flour pancakes that I made earlier. This pancake has more black flour and less wheat bran or coarse grains. It is actually still very soft, and much better than those dry food that are really black and dry.

The family reluctantly ate breakfast, and then everyone sat drowsily on the roadside, wanting to rest for a while. Even though the old man was very tired, he looked at the situation around him. Now the surroundings were basically very empty, with no shelter, so he had no way to help the Zhang family deliver things.

Wang Shiyu also looked at the surrounding situation. Now, except for a dry river in front of the left, there was really no shelter at all. All he could see was farmland.

The farmland was clean and tidy, and not even a wild vegetable could be dug up. It was obvious that the fields had been constantly turned over, fertilized and seeds buried, but not a single seedling sprouted.

Although Wang Shiyu has no memory or experience of the later period, she can tell that this year is definitely not going to be a good year.

After finishing the work, he closed his eyes and looked at the empty farmland. He planted the farmland silently, and then began to harvest the fruits that had already borne fruit.

There was nothing strange planted in the land, just some corn and wheat, which were all available now and could be eaten directly.

He went to the warehouse and found a rice ball that he had collected from the island. He took it out and ate it quietly. He really couldn't eat the dry cake anymore.

Mo Ru Ru immediately noticed her daughter's little action, and then she protected her daughter behind her calmly. She waited until her daughter's little action ended before she returned to normal and continued to lie on the side of the road with her husband to rest.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Wang Shiyu was present in every incident at home during this period, so it was easy for her to guess what her daughter had been involved in. She just didn't know how her daughter could suddenly become so capable. Was it God's blessing?

The father-in-law didn't say anything, which meant that her daughter was still her daughter and her body had not been invaded by any demons or monsters.

Wang Shiyu and she were still as close as before, so she naturally did not doubt that her daughter had changed her mind.

The most important thing is that Wang Shiyu has not done anything out of line since she came here. She has always done things the little Wang Shiyu did at home.

She didn't feel that she was superior to others because she was a time traveler. Instead, she didn't dare to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

Although those novels say that the heroine will shine after traveling to ancient times, Wang Shiyu doesn't think so. If a woman travels through time, she will be able to shine in another world. Treating people from another world as fools is simply courting death.

She no longer dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. She just looked at her grandfather's wise and foolish appearance and kept testing herself.
