A dozen people who were about to start a fight stopped what they were doing when they heard someone over there say that there were two more springs.

No one was scrambling to draw water from the spring on this side, and everyone rushed to the other side.

Because there are purslane growing near the spring here, they are afraid that there are also purslane over there. If they go too late, there will be nothing left.

Everyone soon came to another place and saw two springs with gurgling water.

These two springs should be the source, and the water source is much larger than the previous one.

It’s a pity that there is no purslane nearby, and there is no other edible wild vegetables to be found either.

Everyone was a little disappointed, but soon rushed to fetch water!

Even if there is no food to eat, it is good to have water.

Everyone was busy vying to be the first to draw water, and no one noticed that there were several pairs of footprints of different sizes next to the spring.

The footprints don't look like they were made by humans, but rather by some large animal!

Everyone was scrambling to fetch water, and soon all the footprints were gone.

The news that a water source had been discovered deep in the woods spread quickly.

Each household sent two people with all the water-carrying tools to fetch water.

Soon, a long line of people fetching water appeared, spreading from the wasteland to the depths of the woods, with no end as far as the eye could see!

While they were hurriedly fetching water, Lu Qingqing and Second Aunt quickly found a place far away from the victims in front and prepared to cook dinner.

When Yang Liuqing saw that there was water and there were so many fresh purslane that he had picked, he immediately decided to cook pheasant and salted fish fillet porridge and stir-fry some purslane for dinner.

It was only at this time that the two of them had the opportunity to put all the supplies together and sort them out.

At the beginning, Yang Liuqing didn't let Lu Qingqing take out the supplies from her house, and asked her to keep them and just eat her food!

Of course Lu Qingqing refused to let him: "Second Aunt, we are a family, and we should not have different opinions. You are the head of our family, and from now on, all the supplies in the house will be under your management!"

But Yang Liuqing refused, and the two pushed and shoved each other for a long time.

Finally, Lu Hu couldn't stand it anymore, and he made the final decision:

"Wife, just listen to Qingqing, you take care of it first!"

Second Aunt listened to Second Uncle and stopped arguing with Lu Qingqing.

Lu Qingqing quietly took out some supplies from the space and put them in a bag, then opened the bag in front of everyone.

The food in the bag included six pounds of rice, two pounds of dried vegetables, six pounds of salt, one pound of peanut oil, half a pound of peanut candy, a can of chili sauce, and ten ugly-looking yams that had been worn out and had their skin peeled off.

Other daily necessities include a backpack, two quilts, two large and one small cotton-padded jackets, five pairs of insoles, two large oilcloths, a large iron pot, several sets of bowls and chopsticks, an oil lamp, two small stools, and a dagger.

dagger!!!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the dagger, and Lu Hu asked with a trembling voice: "Qingqing, you...what's the matter with this dagger?"

It's no wonder that the second uncle was excited, because in his opinion, high-end things like daggers are extremely rare. Only officials and wealthy families have them, and ordinary people have never seen them.

She couldn't tell her second uncle that she bought the dagger, so Lu Qingqing lied:

Second uncle, my father gave me this dagger for self-defense."

Lu Hu nodded and said, "Please keep it safe and don't let any bad guys see it."

Lu Qingqing agreed: "Okay."

At Yangliuqing, the food included four kilograms of rice, one kilogram of cured duck meat, eight kilograms of dried salted fish, fifteen kilograms of salted pheasant, ten kilograms of salt, half a kilogram of peanut oil, two kilograms of dried wild vegetables, one kilogram of sweet potatoes, five kilograms of sweet potato flour, five kilograms of flour, and a piece of walnut cake, which was the one Yaoyao had given her before, and she was reluctant to eat it.

Daily supplies included three quilts, three sets of clothes, five cotton-padded jackets, two oil lamps, a large iron pot, two ceramic pots, five sets of bowls and chopsticks, a bronze mirror, and a comb.

In comparison, the supplies in Yangliuqing are relatively abundant.

In fact, Lu Qingqing’s supplies are not just these. She has a lot more in her space, but she can only show what she can show.

Lu Qingqing wanted to take out the silver and give it to her second aunt for safekeeping, but her second aunt would not let her and told her to keep it herself. Lu Qingqing had no choice but to give up.

The two of them quickly sorted and organized all the supplies, and she and Second Aunt packed the food separately in a backpack and a bag, which they carried!

After all, don't put all your eggs in one basket!

The rest of the supplies were carried by Lu Yuanzheng and his second uncle. Lu Yaoyao felt that she was a little adult now and wanted to carry some too, so his second uncle put a set of the lightest clothes into his bag and asked her to carry it.

Lu Yaoyao got the task and was as happy as Maitreya Buddha.

As dusk fell, the endless stream of people fetching water finally quieted down.

Everyone came back with water and was very excited.

Because this was the day with the most water in the four-month drought.

Water is life. With water, they seem to see hope again.

So everyone took out some rice that they had been treasured and reluctant to eat, and prepared to cook some porridge for dinner.

While they were cleaning the pot and boiling water to cook porridge, Lu Qingqing and her group also prepared everything and started to cook pheasant and fish fillet porridge.

Lu Qingqing first separated the fish bones and fish meat, chopped the bones into small pieces, and cut the fish meat into thin slices.

This fish weighs three pounds, but after separating the meat and bones, it looks like it is only a tiny thing, far too small.

Lu Qingqing was afraid that there would not be enough food, so after thinking about it, she decided to chop half a pheasant and cook them together, so she chopped a whole chicken immediately.

When the rice is cooked, add the pheasant and salted fish and cook thoroughly until the rice is soft. Add a handful of purslane and it is ready to serve.

"Delicious, delicious, sister, this is the most delicious salted fish and pheasant porridge I have ever eaten!"

The pheasant was marinated well, and after cooking into porridge, the chicken meat and bones still retained a light salty taste, which was so delicious that people couldn't help but suck all the chicken bones clean.

The salted fish was just pickled a few days ago and was not very flavorful yet, but it retained the taste of fresh fish. It was sliced ​​thinly and was covered with soup without any fish bones, making people unable to help but eat piece after piece.

Lu Yaoyao ate while raising her mouth and saying it was delicious, and soon the whole bowl was finished.

Seeing this, Yang Liuqing quickly served her another bowl.

Seeing that there was not much food left in the pot, Lu Yaoyao suddenly reached out and snatched the bowl back:

"Second Aunt, Yaoyao is full. I'm going to go play!" After saying that, he ran off to play.

There is an ant nest on the big tree in front, and Yaoyao likes to watch them move.

Yang Liuqing hurriedly shouted, "Slow down, your foot isn't healed yet."

"I got it, Second Aunt." Lu Yaoyao ran even faster.

"This girl is getting more and more naughty as she grows up." Yang Liuqing complained, but in a doting tone.

Yaoyao stopped eating, so Yang Liuqing scooped a spoonful of rice with lots of meat from the pot and put it in Lu Qingqing's bowl:

"If Yaoyao doesn't eat, you eat it and you become strong!"

Before Lu Qingqing could react, the bowl that had just been emptied was full again.

The bowl was stained with her saliva, and she couldn't pour the food back, so she had to lower her head and eat.

But in my heart, I was thinking, how can I take out the food in the space and give it to them openly?

After thinking for a long time, I finally decided to go into the mountains tomorrow. After all, there is not much rice at home, only about ten kilograms.

When the porridge was being cooked just now, it was Second Aunt who added the rice. Lu Qingqing saw this and Second Aunt added half a pound of rice.

It's so tiny, not even enough to fill the gap between teeth, how can this be possible?

The journey of more than 3,000 miles was all walked on two legs.

We have only started walking over 900 miles, and there are still more than 2,000 miles to go. We must not neglect our health at this time.

After Second Aunt left, Lu Qingqing quickly took out a pound of rice from the space and put it in to cook together while no one was paying attention.

Although it is still little, at least there is rice to be seen.

She didn't dare put too much, for fear that it would be too obvious and arouse their suspicion.

But even so, Yang Liuqing still said doubtfully while drinking porridge:

"These days, rice is so sensible. I only put half a pound in it, but I didn't expect it to be so much when cooked."

Everyone lowered their heads and drank porridge, not paying much attention to this sentence. They were just thinking, how nice it would be if there was such sensible rice every day.

Jingjing finished her porridge and cleaned up all the dishes.

Lu Qingqing was just about to say that she would be on duty tonight, when at this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the crowd in front!
