Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

When the Huo family saw that Huo Jinqian had woken up, they talked to him for a while, then everyone started to eat breakfast and then set off.

Since Huo Jinqian had an injured arm, he sat on the ox cart while everyone moved forward on foot.

In order to avoid encountering wild animals again, everyone quickened their pace.

After walking for five days, the water was almost gone and everyone was facing the problem of water shortage.

Within five days, Huo Jinqian recovered quickly, which might be due to the life-extending pill.

His wound has started to grow flesh, and it will soon be fully healed.

During the process of flesh growing, the area around the wound would become itchy. Sometimes Huo Jinqian couldn't bear it and wanted to scratch it involuntarily, but was stopped by Gao Zhijun.

So, during this period of time, she walked beside the carriage, keeping an eye on Huo Jinqian's every move.

After five days of getting along, the way they get along has changed. Gao Zhijun's face is not as cold anymore, and sometimes she will smile when Huo Jinqian teases her.

The Huo family saw all of this. They were all happy for Huo Jinqian and thought that he might be able to win the heart of the beauty.

The villagers of Huojia Village also consciously returned Gao Zhijun to Huo Jinqian's girlfriend. They all forgot that Gao Zhijun once said: I am already engaged!

"Girl, the water is running out, what should I do?"

The village head asked worriedly as he watched the weather getting hotter and the sun getting stronger.

"Uncle Lizheng, the drought here is very serious. There is no water source. We have to save water."

"From now on, everyone should eat two meals a day. Try to eat bread, and use water to quench your thirst. Let's speed up our journey and see if we can find a water source ahead."

Gao Zhijun looked at the blazing sun, then at the dry weeds on the ground, and said helplessly.

"Okay, I'll tell the villagers to speed up."

The village head also knew that there was no other way. After all, there was no water source underground and they had no way to get water.

The head of the village explained the reason, and everyone had no complaints. They gritted their teeth and quickened their pace.

They continued on their journey for another three days. Not only were the villagers short of water, but they were also physically exhausted and could not continue on their journey.

The village head had no choice but to let everyone stop and rest before continuing their journey tomorrow.

Gao Zhijun took Huo Jinzhou and Huo Jinhao to the left to see if there was anything to eat.

After walking for an hour, they were already very far away from everyone else and could not go any further, otherwise they would not be able to get back in time if the villagers were in danger.

The three of them dispersed to look for something to eat.

Suddenly, Gao Zhijun saw an old tree, which should be more than a hundred years old. There were many big fruits on it, but the fruits were basically wilted, but they were still edible.

She shouted happily: "Big brother, second brother, come here quickly, there are fruits here."

Huo Jinzhou and Huo Jinhao heard their sister's voice and quickly rushed over and said, "Sister, what kind of fruit is that!"

Gao Zhijun pointed at the fruit and said, "It's the apple on top. Even though it's wilted, it's still edible."

"You guys stay down there, I'll go up and pick some apples, then bring them back for the villagers to eat."

There are not many apples left on the apple tree. They should be the leftovers. Everyone can only eat one.

Don't underestimate it. You can only eat a little, but it can save your life.

Looking at the tall and big apple tree, Huo Jinzhou was a little worried that his sister might fall down if she climbed up. If something happened, how would he explain to his family?

"Sister, big brother was an expert at climbing trees when he was young. Why don't you let big brother go up and pick it, and you and your second brother can catch it here."

Huo Jinzhou was afraid that his sister might get into an accident, so he rushed to climb the tree.

"Brother, how about I come over and you and your sister pick up the apples down below."

Huo Jinhao looked at the towering apple tree and followed his elder brother to grab a gun and go up to pick apples.

"Big brother, second brother, stop arguing, let me go up. I have kung fu skills, so climbing a tree is child's play."

Gao Zhijun saw the two people arguing with each other until they were red in the face, just to be able to go up and pick the apples.

They wanted to leave safety to her and leave the danger to themselves, which touched Gao Zhijun deeply.

Gao Zhijun decided to let them stay while she climbed the tree to pick apples.

As soon as she finished speaking, she used her kung fu to climb up the apple tree easily and flexibly like a wild monkey.

After climbing up the apple tree, Gao Zhijun picked apples from above, while Huo Jinzhou and Huo Jinhao picked apples from below.

Gao Zhijun didn't come down from the old tree until all the apples on it were picked.

She made two baskets out of vines and picked up the apples in them. When they were almost full, the remaining apples were put into the backpack. Gao Zhijun carried one on her back and held the other in each hand. She walked with difficulty, feeling tired and sore.

After returning to the camp, they asked Dazhuang, Tiezhu and others to divide the apples so that everyone could eat half of an apple.

The villagers walked for a few more days, and Gao Zhijun was looking for something edible. The most common thing they found was Imperata root, which could quench their thirst.

Although the land is dry, the roots of the white scutellaria underground are astringent and bitter, but they can quench thirst.

Therefore, the villagers’ favorite food during this period is Imperata root.

It was a very hot and stuffy day. Although the sun in the sky was not that strong and was occasionally blocked by clouds, everyone was still feeling uncomfortable from the heat.

Gao Zhijun looked at the sky and said worriedly, "Uncle Lizheng, looking at the weather like this, it should rain soon!"

The head of the village did not seem as worried as Gao Zhijun when he heard this. Instead, he was happy and excited: "Girl, it's really going to rain. Isn't this a good thing?

After the rain, the heat won’t be so severe, the land will be moistened by water, and the crops will have a small harvest.

Besides, when it rains, we will have water to drink, why are you so worried?" the village head asked puzzledly.
