"You have to be discerning, sisters. Go up to them when they are in a good mood. If you go up to them when they are in a bad mood, aren't you asking for a beating?"

As Shen Youyou spoke, she picked up a wooden stick and scratched the withered grass and vines.

Looking into the distance, the numerous trees are also turning yellow.

She looked at the trees around her and sighed. It hadn't rained for a long time, and most of the trees had begun to dry up. Only a few leaves were drooping, and they were wilted by the scorching sun.

People don’t have much water nowadays, so they drink water sparingly.

The sisters' lips were dry, but they were reluctant to drink water. They had to wait until they were extremely thirsty before they could take a sip.

It was so miserable. Shen Youyou didn't see much green along the way. She was thinking there might be wild fruits in the mountains, but it was estimated that the refugees from Yuzhou had already found and eaten them.

"Old Shen, if there are bandits in the mountains, will they be able to see our large group? We're a big target, right?"

Li Jingshu was tired and nervous. In fact, she had been nervous ever since she went up the mountain. She always felt that there was something bad in the mountain.

Shen Zhiqiu held Li Jingshu's arm and said, "Don't think too much. It's good that there are bandits. If they can survive, they must have water. If we can't beat them, we can join them. It's okay!"

"You are so dishonest every day. You join the bandits even though you can't beat them. How can those bandits be good people?"

Shen Zhiqiu: "I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere. You seem so nervous, so I want to tease you."

Just chat nonsense, otherwise you will keep thinking about random things. Your body will be exhausted, and you will be worried all the time. How can you live your life?

The hunter Gao in front called out again: Little Sanzi.

Last night she was Qiuzi, but today she is Xiaosanzi, okay! Xiaosanzi is Xiaosanzi.

"Hey, what happened to Uncle Gao again?"

"Let's take a break. We've been walking for most of the day. Let's take a break and eat something."

He also wanted to take a break, so he nodded in agreement. Not only was his daughter tired, he was tired too.

Wang Fuxi shouted, "Take a break for an hour, stay together as much as possible, don't be too scattered."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Youyou lies on the ground. If you ask her at this time, what about your mysophobia? Do you think the ground is dirty?

I will definitely roll my eyes at you and think you are crazy.

Now she finally understood that fleeing from famine was the cure for all kinds of dissatisfaction.

At first I disliked the bumpy ride in the carriage, but now I'm walking on my legs. Even my mysophobia has been cured.

At this point, any problem must give way to survival.

Shen Youyou sat next to her mother and grandmother, feeling a burning pain on the soles of her feet. Alas, she must have had a lot of blisters.

And my calves are also sore. Oh my god, when will this end?

Li Jingshu looked at her daughter's hopeless look and began to massage her legs:

"Hey, you have blisters on your feet. How about I put some cotton cloth on the soles of your shoes?"

"Ah!" Shen Youyou suddenly screamed, and sat up in shock from her dying illness: "Mom, I remember, Dad! Dad!"

Shen Zhiqiu, who was discussing something with the men, heard his daughter's scream and ran over without caring about anything else.

His daughter yelled at his daughter: "Hey, what's wrong? Did you get bit by a snake?"

Shen Youyou also realized now that she was too excited just now and scared her father.

She pointed to her legs: "Bandage!"

Shen Zhiqiu looked confused: "What happened to your leg? Did you bump into it or something?"

"Long March, um, leggings!"

With so many people watching, Shen Youyou didn't dare to say it too obviously.

Shen Zhiqiu finally reacted: "Yes, how could I have forgotten about this!"

Everyone came over to ask about the situation. Shen Zhiqiu lied again and said, "Well, I read in a travel book before that it said that they used strips of cloth to tie up their calves in circles.

Your legs won’t get too sore after walking for a long time. I didn’t think about this when we were riding in the carriage before, but I just remembered it.”

It was indeed because of the previous carriage ride that Shen Youyou didn’t think about this matter. It was only when my mother asked me to put cloth in her shoes that she remembered it.

When everyone heard of this good idea, they all started looking for scraps of cloth.

Those who have no cloth will tear their clothes. Now everything has to give way to running away. They don’t have good clothes, but they still have some worn-out clothes.

Shen Youyou first tied up her grandmother's legs. She tore the cloth into pieces that were 20 centimeters wide and more than one meter long. She then tore one end of the cloth into two pieces.

She knelt in front of her breasts, mainly because she couldn't squat anymore because her legs hurt too much.

Wrap it with torn pieces of cloth layer by layer, it looks similar to the way the Red Army wrapped it in TV dramas:

"Granny, take a few steps and feel it. It can't be too tight or too loose. If it's too tight, the blood won't flow, and if it's too loose, it's useless."

Old Lady Hua felt it and said, "It's OK. I think it's about right. It's not too tight, but it's not completely powerless either."

Shen Zhiqiu had also tied up Li Jingshu, and was now tying up his father.

After watching it for several times, everyone was not stupid, and leg tying was not complicated. Everyone started to find pieces of cloth to tie each other's legs.

People like Shen Youyou can tie themselves up.

After resting for an hour and replenishing some food and water, the group set off again.

When we leave this time, we also have to pay attention to collecting materials to make torches at night. It is impossible to go deep in the mountains without torches, not to mention that the forest is so deep that people on the road cannot see us.

As for whether it would attract other refugees and bandits, he couldn't worry about that. At least the fire could help him prevent wild beasts.

Grandpa Shen was sitting in his grandson's cart. The old man had been walking for the whole morning and couldn't hold on any longer.

It is true that people in their 70s are considered to be very old.

He was turning his head and shouting, "Little Sanzi,"

Shen Zhiqiu walked closer: "What's wrong, Grandpa?"

Master Shen looked worried: "If it doesn't work, let's go deep into the mountains. We can't live without water. There's no water on the road ahead. Our animals and people need water too."

This is what Shen Zhiqiu was worried about. He didn't see any moist soil along the way, and the grass was all dry.

Fortunately, animals can eat hay, otherwise it would be more than just finding water. I'm sure so many horses would have starved to death.

Shen Youyou drank a little water and shouted to Shen Zhiqiu: "Dad, find some bamboo. We can boil some water."

"How much fire would we need to burn to feed us and the animals? We would have to cut down at least a bamboo forest to burn. Besides, we haven't seen any bamboo along the way."

Indeed, there was no bamboo forest seen along the way, so Shen Youyou racked her brains to think of a solution.

"I seem to have read in a book that water is stored in bamboo, and that you can collect water by hanging weapons at night and in the morning using the temperature difference. It also says that if you see a bird following it at dusk, you can find water."

These are what I saw in my previous life. I don’t know if they are true or not, but you will know if you try it.

Shen Zhichun looked at his little niece for a while and came up with so many ideas.

This child must have a good memory! It is probably because my third brother taught her from books. At the critical moment, my third brother forgot, but my little niece still remembered.

With this memory, if he were a boy, he would definitely pass the imperial examination earlier than my third brother.
