Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

There was also a lot of cooked mung bean soup hidden in the treasure box, which Xu Ning had specifically instructed to be cooked.

Even a lot of drinking water was prepared, and it was put into bamboo tubes like the cooked mung bean soup. At least hundreds of them were filled and placed in the space of the treasure chest.

Everyone had a bamboo tube of water in their backpack as a cover. If they couldn't find a water source during the night rest, Xu Ning would secretly take out the bamboo tube filled with water from the treasure box.

Xu Ning still remembers the way the refugees looked at them in the first few days after they returned from their escape from famine. They were all pale and skinny, but their eyes were like those of hungry wolves.

The Xu family lived in the valley for a while. Although they still looked pale and thin, their spirit and energy were completely different.

The most obvious one is Old Man Xu. He used to only be able to lie on the cart and rely on Xu Da to push it, but now he can keep up with everyone, but he just needs to take a break from time to time.

When the Xu family sent Li the Hunter out of the valley, they gave him the cart because Feng was still breastfeeding and her child was still young and needed her to take care of him. Li the Hunter needed the cart more than the Xu family.

"Daya, bring the bamboo tube and I'll fill a pot with water for you." After walking for more than half a month, the Xu family members were quite exhausted. After sleeping in the open and traveling, the Xu family members were no different from the surrounding refugees.

Xu Ning also took things out of the boxes less and less frequently. Firstly, Old Lady Xu did not allow him to do so, and secondly, there were more refugees around.

Fortunately, the further south you go, the more water sources you can find.

There are plenty of water sources and wild vegetables nearby. Compared to the north of Yuncheng, the refugees can at least eat wild vegetables.

Xu Ning also felt that it was wrong to make a fuss, so she kept the box in her backpack for several days without moving it.

"Sister, look, I found wild vegetables!" Xu Xiaobao ran to Xu Ning, holding a small handful of dandelions that he and Zhang had picked, as if presenting a treasure.

"Xiaobao is so awesome!" Xu Ning kept praising him. Xu Xiaobao was only four years old, but he already knew how to help adults share the burden.

Xu Dabao was carrying half a bundle of firewood. Whenever Old Man Xu stopped, he would start tinkering with the backpack. As the backpack was made only of vines, it wore out quickly. So when the team took a break, Old Man Xu would find new vines nearby to repair it.

Only Xu Da's backpack could not be repaired. Xu Da's backpack was filled with pots, pans, and utensils. Most of the heavy things were in his possession. It was completely unusable in less than half a month.

"Grandpa, I just pulled some vines and put them under the tree over there. I'll bring them back to you later." Xu Dabao put down the firewood and went back into the woods.

Xu Da was still picking up firewood in the woods, and the adults were not worried when Xu Dabao ran over by himself because it was not too far and they could hear him if he howled.

Old Mrs. Xu picked up some thin firewood and started to make a fire. Xu Ning helped her on the side. As soon as she handed a branch to Old Mrs. Xu, she was pulled to the side by Zhang, who had just finished washing wild vegetables.

"Mom, I can help!" Xu Ning was protected by everyone in the Xu family along the way. Except for looking through the telescope a few times, she didn't even need to use chopsticks to eat.

"You can't help, go and chat with your grandfather." Old Mrs. Xu said disdainfully. Xu Ning scratched her neck helplessly. Now the wounds on her body had basically scabbed off, and the tender flesh that had grown out was itchy from time to time.

Xu Ning did not go to Old Man Xu, but squatted with Xu Xiaobao, who also had nothing to do, and watched the adults busy themselves.

"Sister, why does grandma always dislike you?"

"Nonsense, grandma just loves me and doesn't want me to work."

"But, I just saw you rolling your eyes at you again."

"..." This brother is too honest, can I still accept him? Waiting online, very urgent.

"Daya, come quickly! Look what daddy has caught?!" Xu Da walked out of the woods with an excited look on his face. He carried a large bundle of firewood and a bow and arrow on his back, and held a pheasant with its head hanging down in his hand.

Xu Dabao followed behind, holding a small bundle of fresh rattan, with unstoppable joy on his face.

"Wow! Dad! You are so awesome!" It is really amazing that Xu Da was still able to catch prey after passing so many people along the way.

"Dad, you have become a master! If Uncle Li knew, he would definitely praise you!" Xu Ning began to flatter him and surrounded Xu Da with Xu Xiaobao.

"Dad, you're so awesome! As awesome as Uncle Li!" Xu Xiaobao praised his dad without any reservation.

"Hehe!" Xu Da's tanned face had a bright smile that dazzled the eyes, and his teeth were really white!

This is also what Xu Ning likes most about the Xu family. When he was in the valley, Xu Ning specifically popularized the importance of brushing teeth. Now that there is no water, the Xu family members will chew some sweet wild grass to clean their teeth.

"Dad, let's have chicken stewed with mushrooms tonight!" Xu Ning couldn't wait to order the dishes. The pheasant was oily and the mushrooms were fresh and tender. They were delicious with just a little bit of salt!

"Okay, let's eat chicken stewed with mushrooms!" Xu Da agreed and immediately started to clean the pheasant.

Xu Ning ran to Old Lady Xu and started muttering to herself. Xu Xiaobao looked at his sister, then at his eldest brother who was following his father, and finally followed the men of the Xu family.

"Grandma, do you have any more salt?" Xu Ning leaned close to Old Lady Xu's ear and whispered. Old Lady Xu nodded. Xu Ning immediately smiled and ran to watch Xu Da process the pheasant.

Zhang started to take out dried mushrooms from the basket on her back and put them directly into the pot to cook together with the chicken. Due to limited conditions, she did not soak them specially.

There were many inquiring eyes around. Old Mrs. Xu had a gloomy face and used her body to block the steaming pot. When the water boiled, Xu Da came back with a bunch of pigs. There were not many internal organs, so Xu Da didn't bury them directly. He only brought back a small piece of chicken blood. Xu Da scooped a ladle of boiling water to remove the chicken feathers, and the pheasant was basically clean.

Xu Da handed the processed pheasant to Old Lady Xu, and started practicing archery with his three children in the last bit of light.

As the sky darkened, fragrance began to waft from the Xu family's pot, and more eyes were staring at the Xu family.

Xu Ning stared at a circle drawn with stone on the tree trunk. It was a target specially drawn by Xu Da.

"Thump, thump, thump" Xu Ning shot three arrows in a row, all of which hit the target. Although they were not exactly hit, they still drew less attention from the people around.

"Wow! Sister is so great!" Xu Xiaobao clapped his hands happily!

Xu Dabao's eyes lit up, and Xu Da also shouted "Okay!"

"It's time to eat. Stop practicing." Zhang called softly. Xu Ning took a deep breath of the fragrance in the air and was about to respond when he suddenly heard someone calling Xu Da's name.

"Dayong? Dayong, is that you?" Xu Xiaohu came from the other side of the road, supporting his mother. Just now when he stopped to rest, he heard Xu Da's voice. He thought he had heard it wrong, but finally couldn't help but walked over to confirm.

"Dayong, it's really you!"

Xu Xiaohu's voice sounded very surprised, and everyone in the Xu family quickly put away their expressions, especially Xu Ning, who thought of the village chief's family when he saw Xu Xiaohu.

Xu Xiaohu is with the people from Xujia Village. Since Xu Xiaohu appears here, wouldn’t the other people from Xujia Village be nearby as well?
