The game starts with fleeing from famine, the boss of the end times is in trouble

Xie Zirui was confused, "Aunt, I'm not sick, I don't need to take medicine."

Zhang went to the donkey cart and grabbed a handful of sour dates. She handed half of them to Xie Zirui.

"Zi Rui, your uncle Yun said that you and Yi Yi encountered bandits from Qing Feng Village on the mountain today. So you went to your uncle Wu to get medicine to calm your nerves."

"You and Yiyi should drink it. The medicine is no longer hot now, so you can drink it first. After drinking it, eat some sour jujube to suppress the smell of the medicine."

Xie Zirui looked helpless, "Aunt, I wasn't scared by the bandits in Qingfeng Village. Can I not take the medicine?"

Zhang said with a straight face, "No. If you don't take this medicine, you will have nightmares at night and have a fever."

"Okay, auntie, I'll take the medicine."

Xie Zirui pinched his nose and drank the medicine in one gulp.

The medicine was too bitter. He quickly put a few sour dates into his mouth.

Fortunately, the sour and sweet taste of the hawthorn fruit quickly overwhelmed the medicinal taste.

Zhang watched Xie Zirui finish drinking the medicine, "Zirui, you are such an obedient child."

Xie Zirui smiled embarrassedly. He really didn't want to take the medicine because it was too bitter.

Zhang held the bowl and the sour dates and went to find Yun Yiyi.

Brother Yun and the others looked at Zhang nervously.

Yiyi always has a bad temper when she wakes up. If she doesn’t take the medicine, she doesn’t know if Zhang will beat her.

Thinking of this, Brother Yun couldn't sit still any longer. He ran to Zhang and said, "Mom, I'll help you get the medicine."

"Old Three, you are so sensible today."

"Mom. What are you saying? I have never been sensible."

Soon, Zhang came to the side of the mat and said, "Yiyi, wake up and take your medicine."

As a result, Yun Yiyi turned over when she heard what Zhang said.

Zhang was so angry that she laughed. This little girl must have gone to bed early just to avoid taking medicine.

Zhang picked up Yun Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, take the medicine quickly, or I won't let you go up the mountain tomorrow."

When Yun Yiyi heard this, she opened her eyes and said, "Mom, don't be like this. I'll just take the medicine."

Zhang laughed out loud, "You little bastard, you still want to fool me, your mother."

Yun Yiyi put her arms around Zhang's neck and said, "Mom, I don't have that."

Brother Yun San handed over the medicine bowl and said, "Yiyi, here's the medicine for you. Drink it quickly or it will get cold soon."

Yun Yiyi took the bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp.

Wow, that's so bitter. Her eyebrows knitted together.

Zhang stuffed a few sour dates into Yun Yiyi's mouth, and then gave her the rest.

"Okay, Yiyi, go to sleep after you finish eating the sour dates."

"I know, mother. You should go to bed early too."

Zhang and Third Brother Yun returned to the dining table together. All the chestnuts had been shelled and crushed.

"Boss, there is a bigger mat in our donkey cart. Go and get it out."

"I'll wash the mats and then we can dry the chestnut flour."

"Okay, Mom, I'll get it now."

Brother Yun quickly found the mat, and everyone worked together to clean the mat and hang it up to dry.

It is cooler in the morning and evening now. There is also wind, so the mat will probably dry soon.

"Big Boss, take your brothers to bed. Your father said that Yiyi and Zirui just ran into bandits from Qingfeng Village who were there to gather information."

"However, those bandits did not find Yiyi and Zirui."

"That's right, Auntie. Those bandits really didn't find Yiyi and I."

"Yiyi heard the noise of the Qingfeng Village bandits from far away, so we hid ourselves."

"Originally, Yiyi and I were planning to go back to find Big Brother and his friends. However, Yiyi said that the direction the bandits were heading in was not the same as the direction Big Brother and his friends were going down the mountain."

"That's why we went straight down the mountain."

"So that's what happened. I was wondering why Dad gave you and Yiyi some medicine to calm your nerves."

"However, I didn't expect that the bandits from Qingfeng Village would also come down the mountain to gather information."

"It's not surprising, brother. They don't know about the refugees outside Shilin Town, so why don't they continue to move forward? They must be trying to get some information.

"Your father also went to the village chief for a meeting about this matter. So, now that you know about it, don't stay up any longer and go to sleep."

"Mom, I'm going to take my brothers to bed then."

"Go ahead. I still have to wait for your father to come back."

"Mom, don't go to bed too late."

Zhang waved her hand, "Okay, mother got it."

Brother Yun took his younger brothers to bed.

Zhang cleaned the chopping board, kitchen knife, and dining table and set them aside to dry.

She touched the mat again, and it had been almost dry by the wind.

So Zhang brought over a large pile of firewood she had collected today, spread it out flat, and laid the mat on top.

Next, Zhang scattered the crushed chestnuts on the mat one handful at a time.

The mat was still a little small, and there were still quite a few chestnuts left to be spread.

So Zhang found another mat, washed it with water, and then hung it up to dry.

At this time, the night was already very quiet.

However, Zhang could see through the light that there were still many people gathered around the village chief in a meeting in the distance.

However, the bandits in Qingfeng Village were too powerful, and no one could think of a solution for the time being. It was estimated that it would not be long before Yun the Butcher would come back.

So Zhang blew out the oil lamp, put two spoonfuls of water in the iron pot, and started to boil it.

Zhang sat there, holding her chin with one hand. Soon, she was so sleepy that her head was nodding.

I don't know how much time has passed. "Wife, you are sleepy, why don't you go to bed? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"

Zhang woke up with a start. "Boss, you're back. Why are you back so late?"

Butcher Yun sat down. "The village chief told everyone that he had discovered bandits from Qingfeng Village on the mountain today. Then, everyone started discussing it fiercely again."

"Alas, everyone is panicking. However, Yiyi has already told everyone about our current situation, so no one is talking about turning back, even though everyone is panicking."

"Wife, the village chief sent people to Shilin Town to buy water and food. I want to go with them tomorrow. Mainly because we have a lot of water at home, and I want to fill up all our empty water bottles."

"Okay, boss. But you'd better go with Brother Wu next door. I'm worried if you go alone."

"Don't worry. On the way back, I have already made an appointment with Brother Wu. We will go to Shilin Town tomorrow morning and be back at noon."

Zhang asked, "Okay. But, head of the family, are you going to let the children go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables tomorrow?"

Butcher Yun thought for a moment and said, "Let them go tomorrow. But you have to tell them not to go too far."
