I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.

However, different voices emerged in the team.

Shen Ying was the first to say that it was too dangerous and did not agree to go deep into the mountains.

Mr. Shen hesitated and looked at the children.

The family pillars looked at each other, and finally decided to walk a little further and have a look.

Anyway, we can get to the top of the hill from the road ahead.

The team had been moving forward for only half an hour when the smoke rose again, even thicker.

Shen Ying originally wanted to stop them out of the idea of ​​saving everyone's energy, but now she couldn't help but doubt that the smoke from the cooking seemed to be attracting people on purpose.

She told her parents about her thoughts. Lian Bihe, who was standing by, also spoke up, "I agree with Shen Ying's idea. Those people seem to be...deliberately creating bait.

The vegetation in this area is even more barren. Even if the news from other places has not been passed on to this area, everyone can feel the severity of this drought.

In this environment, you dare to light up the smoke and cook continuously, for fear that others will not see you. Isn't it just to attract people over? There must be something fishy going on."

Shen Ying looked at her blankly.

Lian Bihe thought there was something dirty on her face, but Shen Ying patted her and said, "I thought you were just crying, but I didn't expect you to be able to analyze this kind of scheme so well."

Shen's mother's eyes widened, and she pulled her daughter over and said, "My daughter, men and women should not touch each other, what are you doing?"

what?

Oh!

She said Lian Bihe was a man in order to deceive her own family and to make it easier to deceive any pursuers who might come to chase her in the future.

"Hahaha, mom, it's okay, she doesn't like me like this, right!"

Even Bihe wanted to cover her mouth and laugh. This Miss Shen's words were so funny.

But this action was too feminine, so Lian Bihe simply responded straightforwardly: "My family has already arranged a marriage for me. Miss Shen Ying is the same as my sister to me. You don't have to mind these trivial matters."

Shen Ying nodded: "That's right, that's right."

The atmosphere on the carriage side was relaxed, but the others in the back who were worried about having no water were not so relaxed. They kept looking back at the smoke rising from the mountain.

Then there were sounds of children crying for water and women coaxing them to endure it.

The old couple of the Shen family could not help but feed the child some water. When they were almost out of sight of the smoke from cooking fires, the third son of the Shen family stopped and said, "Grandpa, uncle, dad, I plan to go to the top of the mountain to check. If there are people living there with water, I will bring them back and tell you the good news.

If I can’t get water, I will go there myself… We can’t let the child risk running out of water, so I will go even if there is only a slight chance.”

He had decided this himself.

Shen Ying listened to it all.

A big family gathered together is a force to be reckoned with.

But the disadvantages of being entangled also manifest themselves at such moments.

Because no one can abandon their blood relatives and continue on the journey alone, she can do it, but since she is now a member of the Shen family, her second cousin is doing it for the child and is not being unreasonable, so she can only wait and see.

She remained silent, but her second cousin muttered, "You are the only one who thinks about everyone."

Shen Ying didn't even look at her.

She was thinking about how to face the risk of water shortage if the news was bad this time she went up the mountain.

If everyone is to have water, the only excuse they can find is that they accidentally discovered a small pond. The pond cannot have too much water, otherwise what will happen if the Shen family takes root here?

As for the location and time of release, it is definitely better to decide when preparing to camp at night.

Anyway, she often found an excuse to go to the toilet, left the Shen family, and went to the mall to take good care of her stomach and body and mind.

While she was distracted, her second cousin had already received his consent and was walking quickly up the mountain with three or four water bags hanging around his waist. Those were the water bags for the whole family, and the few sips of water left in them were for her second cousin to drink on the way.

"The third child of the family will go up the mountain. The others should wait here. I think it is getting late. We may have to camp here tonight. The rest of you should go see if there is anything to eat around and pick up more firewood and fallen leaves."

They no longer care about the taste of wild vegetables. After experiencing that wave of refugees, they no longer care about the taste and texture of wild vegetables. The sense of crisis of hoarding food has once again been raised to a higher level.

Shen Ying pulled Lian Bihe, and the two walked back as a group. After all, this was a route they had walked before, and the Shen family was not afraid that the two would encounter any accidents.

Half of the men stayed behind to look after the supplies, while the other half walked forward. The second cousin's wife said she felt dizzy, so she stayed behind to look after the two children. Mother Shen and the other women began to dig on the nearby hillside.

Shen Ying took Lian Bihe for a walk. They could see the convoy from afar, but they certainly couldn't hear what they were saying. Shen Ying was finally able to have normal physical contact and conversation with Lian Bihe.

"Do you want to feel comfortable?" Shen Ying suddenly winked.

Lian Bihe silently took a step back. How was it? Was it comfortable?

Shen Ying chuckled, reached for her collar, and, grinning like a bully, took out a large water bag.

"Hey, I stole a water bag. You can use the water to wet a towel and wipe your body. We are all girls, and I understand the feeling of being covered in sweat and then having the sweat dried by the sun. Go ahead, I'll give you some fresh air."

Lian Bihe had indeed been tormented by not being able to take a shower these past two days. Furthermore, the fingerprints left on her body by the two villains that night and the sticky and disgusting touch made her wish she could find an opportunity to rub off a layer of skin on herself!

But now is the time when water is scarce...

"It's okay, don't feel burdened. I will find a way to solve it. Besides, the other water bags at home are prepared for emergency use by other members of our Shen family. You won't be left out. Go ahead and make a quick decision."

Lian Bihe pursed her lips, nodded emotionally, and walked away with the water bag. Shen Yingke had no interest in peeking at girls, so he stood there and walked for a while. Noticing that it was a bit sunny, he found a sheltered place to wait.

The water in the bamboo cup in my hand was at room temperature. After all, there were at least two people in the same space with me in the carriage, and I couldn't find a chance to change to ice water.

Looking around, Shen Ying quickly entered the mall and replaced the water with one from the refrigerator. It was not cold, but it was cooler than the warm water heated by the surrounding temperature.

After a short two minutes, Shen Ying couldn't help but grabbed a few cherries to eat, threw the pits on the ground and crushed them a few times with her feet.

In this environment, fruits like cherries cannot grow.

Just after eating the cherries, I heard a call from behind.

Lian Bihe didn't see Shen Ying there, and called her name nervously.

Shen Ying wiped the corner of her mouth and emerged from behind the tree: "I'm here."

After Lian Bihe was scrubbed, she felt much more relaxed. After the dust on her face was wiped off, she looked even more delicate and lovely.

Shen Ying propped up her chin with one hand, looking left and right, almost making Lian Bihe confused: "What, what happened?"

"If you want to pretend to be a boy, you should cover your face. You are so pretty that anyone who is not blind would think you are a girl. And you only go out to the toilet with me."

Lian Bihe squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt and rubbed it on her face. Shen Ying nodded, and then took some wet dirt and covered her ear holes: "It's all right now."

The two searched the area but found nothing edible, so they could only drag a completely dry sapling back to use as firewood tonight.

No matter how hot the weather is, it would be very dangerous if you don't make a bonfire at night.

Danger is not only brought by humans.
