Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down

"Hey, here are some grass roots I just dug up, take them and try them.

Be patient, there will be food when we get to the city.

It's your parents who are useless and let you suffer."

Wu wiped her tears sincerely, looking outside from time to time through her fingers.

Seeing that no one was staring at this side, he gradually stopped talking.

Lin Shu gave her a thumbs up and laughed secretly, which made Wu's ears turn red.

"Hehe~"

Wu took the food prepared by her daughter and ate it secretly like a little hamster.

It makes people feel sad and cute at the same time.

After eating, quickly destroy the evidence.

He sat beside Lin Shu, fanning the steel bowl that was blocked by the dry grass.

"Shu'er, take a nap."

After eating and drinking to her heart's content and enjoying the cool breeze, Lin Shu fell asleep in a flash.

...

"Gee~Gee~Gee~"

“Get out of the way~Get out of the way~”

A group of cavalry came galloping and the refugees who failed to dodge were whipped.

He didn't even dare to glare at her, and could only resign himself to his fate and roll to the side of the road and wail.

Lin Shu sat up suddenly, quickly climbed out of the tent and looked towards the source of the sound.

All I saw was dust flying all along the way and the refugees wailing.

The whip-wielding cavalryman left behind only a gray back.

She drew back her head, all sleepiness gone, and went back into the tent to lie down.

He opened his big eyes and looked at the tent ceiling blankly.

Even she herself didn't know what she was thinking.

...

The sudden appearance of the cavalry disrupted the Bird's Nest team's plan to continue their journey.

Everyone scattered to look for wild vegetables, and most importantly, water.

Lin Shu was carrying a torn bag on her back and using a stick to push away the withered weeds. The further she went in, the thicker the weeds became.

The roots of some weeds are still green, and occasionally you can find one or two fresh wild vegetables among the dead grass.

'Puff~Leng Leng~'

A stick startled a pheasant, and the dog sniffing around pounced on it, but missed.

'咻~'

Lin Shu swung the stick in her hand and knocked down the pheasant flying on the dry grass.

Baozi, who was unwilling to accept the defeat, grabbed the baby's mouth and fell silent as he shook his head.

The bun was placed proudly at her feet, and she raised her head to ask for praise.

Lin Shu rewarded it with two strawberries and patted its head.

"Go and see if there are any pheasant eggs."

Baozi got the reward and worked even harder to get into the half-man-high dry grass.

Lin Shu hung the pheasant around her waist and continued searching in the dry grass.

The dead grass here is more abundant than elsewhere. I think it is because the soil is fertile and the water resources are abundant that make it different from other places.

Continuing down the small slope, a small patch of green caught her eye.

Lin Shu was so excited that she grinned, this was a rare sight of green since she left home.

Even wild vegetables that are not edible are pleasing to the eye.

"Wow, it's water celery!"

Lin Shu exclaimed, and rushed over to smell and kiss him.

The water celery, which covers an area of ​​about two square meters, is green and full of vitality.

Grab a handful of soil and squeeze it into a lump in your hand; it feels wet.

Lin Shu remembers the paddy fields and riverbanks in her hometown, where there were a lot of water celery.

He pulled up a handful of water celery by the roots and threw it into the space, then picked up another handful and tied it up with weeds, then took out a shovel and started shoveling the soil.

Muddy water seeped into the puddle, and the deeper you dug, the faster the water seeped.

When a puddle as big as a wooden barrel appeared, it was half full of water.

As the water gradually changed from turbid to cool, Lin Shu felt indescribably proud.

This was the first time she found a water source on her own.

The clearer the water was, the more she wanted to dive in and take a nice bath.

Lin Shu stood up with her back bent and looked around.

In the wilderness at dusk, the only sound you can hear is the rustling of dry grass in the wind.

In order to look for wild vegetables, she had left the team without knowing when.

Her second and third brothers, who were in the same team with her, disappeared when they were catching pheasants.

Otherwise, with such a big commotion, it would be impossible to hide without showing up.

Baozi went to look for pheasant eggs, but never came back.

She was not worried about Baozi at all.

"Hey, since there's no one here, I'll take advantage of it."

There was no one else except her within a radius of dozens of meters.

Lin Shu took out a wooden basin and a bath towel, ready to take an open-air bath.

The dry grass around it is a natural curtain.

When she sat in the wooden tub and washed herself, she could see the morning star when she looked up.

With his thin arms and legs soaked in the basin of water, he did not forget to hold half a piece of ice watermelon and started working.

It took three large basins of water to wash away all the dirt on his body.

Its light little body can be blown away by a strong wind.

Lin Shu was still wearing coarse blue cloth clothes. The cloth looked a little old after being washed several times, and even the patches on it had not changed.

If you don't spend time together, you won't even notice that you've changed clothes.

Put away the wooden basin and put all the dirty clothes into the washing machine in the space.

He opened the water bag and drank it happily, then filled the space with boiled boiled water.

"Shh~"

Lin Shu pursed her lips and whistled, and a rapid rustling sound was heard.

A dog's head with grass debris on its head emerged from the grass, with a long worm in its mouth.

"Baozi, put it down!"

When Lin Shu saw the long worm, she jumped three feet high in fright.

She looked around nervously, afraid that a fish would jump out and bite her.

She always thought that because it was hot, the worms had already hidden underground.

Baozi threw the long worm on the ground and tried to scratch it with his claws a few times, but there was no movement.

Only then did Lin Shu feel relieved.

As soon as the little guy saw the puddle, he was about to jump in but was grabbed by Lin Shu.

"Don't jump, that's water for drinking."

Lin Shu had no choice but to take out Baozi’s bathtub and fill it with water for it.

When Baozi saw the familiar basin, he dived into it and stepped on the water happily.

"Ton~Ton~Ton~" He drank until his belly was full and then jumped out of the bathtub.

Lin Shu shook her head, obediently put away the bathtub, and carried the bundle of water celery and pheasant.

The long worm was naturally held in Baozi's mouth, so she was unwilling to take that slippery thing.

...

As soon as Lin Shu entered the camp, she felt a sense of gloom.

"Little sister, where have you been? We looked everywhere but there's no one."

When Lin Hongyi saw the person coming back, he rushed forward and looked him over carefully.

“Why, there are water celery, pheasants, and snakes.

You are so lucky! I found it there. "

Lin Hongyi wanted to blame him, but his attention was immediately diverted by the rare food.

"Brother, what happened to them?" Lin Shu said in a low voice.

“Oh, don’t mention it.

My uncle and his friends only found half a bucket of water, which was full of mud and sand.

So how do we divide the money among so many people?"

Lin Hongyi had a sad face and took a special look at where the Liu family was.

"I thought it was a big deal, it's just water!" Lin Shu said easily.

"Little sister, do you know where there is water?" Lin Hongyi said in a low voice.

"Not stupid enough to shout for everyone to hear.

Let Baozi take you to find water. If we wait a little longer, there will be enough water for the whole team." Lin Shu said affirmatively.

When Lin Erzhuang saw his daughter coming back, he was pulled aside by the eldest brother to talk.

He strode over, glared at the eldest brother with dissatisfaction, and spoke gently to his daughter.

"Shu'er, you must be tired!

Pack the things for your mother, and then you can have dinner after a rest."

Lin Erzhuang never mentioned the problem of water shortage, and he didn't want his daughter to reveal the secret.
