The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!
Chapter 7: Almost Collapsed
Shenjia Village is really far from the county town. They started walking at around three or four in the afternoon and it was getting dark.
I didn't dare light a torch at this time, because wouldn't I be a clear target?
The recruiter hasn't arrived yet. What should I do if I encounter bandits on the mountain road?
Fortunately, it was almost the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the moon was round, and the road was still roughly visible. Everyone was hungry and just had a few bites of food.
At this time, Dahu stopped in front, and Shen Zhiqiu drove over and asked: "What happened to Dahu?"
Da Hu patted the horse under him and said, "Son-in-law, there is a puddle ahead. Let's let the horses rest, drink some water and eat some grass, otherwise they won't be able to hold on."
Shen Zhiqiu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. He had been running for two or three hours straight.
He could hardly hold on any longer and wanted to go to the bathroom, so he quickly agreed.
He helped his daughter out of the car, picked up his son and rushed into the bushes on the side.
After I was done with the toilet, I found a few wide leaves and wiped myself and then my son.
The leaves may have small burrs. As soon as he rubbed it, Shen Luming shouted, "It hurts!"
Shen Zhiqiu was so distressed that he asked his son to wait and hurried back to the carriage to get some paper. But after thinking about it,
If you really use paper to wipe your butt, you will definitely be exposed. Paper was so precious in ancient times!
You can’t use paper to wipe your butt!
He pulled out a torn piece of clothing from the pile of clothes and tore it into several pieces.
He ran back to wipe his son's butt. After wiping, he had to wash it in the river, dry it and then use it again.
You can't just tear off a piece of clothing every time you want to go to the bathroom.
He divided the remaining pieces among Uncle Li and Dahu and Erhu.
As a result, the three people said that they have always used leaves and bamboo sticks.
Shen Zhiqiu was tired. He could hardly bear to be without paper. Just now, when he used tree leaves, he always felt that it was not wiped clean and he had to wipe it again.
He could not bear it even more without cloth. He was not only troubled by fleeing famine, but also by the major issue of the cycle of grains.
He continued to persuade them: "Take them all. We have also bought a lot of soap. Each of you can carry one with you later.
Why did I cover all the costs of the goods? It was because I was afraid that the conditions on the road would be tough and if I didn’t pay attention to hygiene, I wouldn’t be able to buy much medicine if I got sick again.”
Shen Zhiqiu is already like this, and Shen Youyou is even more conflicted.
She really waited until her face turned red, then she gritted her teeth and squatted down.
The reason is simple. Look around here, in the wild mountains and wilderness, in the dark. What is the most abundant thing in the grass at this season?
Mosquitoes! She had a mosquito-attracting physique in her previous life. There were more than a dozen people in a room, but as long as she was there, the mosquitoes wouldn't bite anyone else.
However, Shen Youyou really used paper this time. It was not that she did not realize that paper was very expensive in ancient times, but she was still unable to make the transition.
Li Jingshu kept whispering in her ear: "Forget it this time, it's just the two of us, we must not use paper next time.
In ancient times, if you used paper to wipe your butt and the villagers saw you, they would scold you to death because paper was very expensive in ancient times.
But it's not like that time when we were together. I'll give you a piece of cloth later, and you have to wash it for me after you've wiped it, and then dry it and use it again."
I have to say that this matter is true and reflects the tacit understanding between the couple.
Shen Youyou felt like she was dying, and looked at her mother speechlessly: "I still need to wash it before using it, how can it be washed clean? Won't it have a smell?"
Li Jingshu was also helpless: "There is no way, my girl, I can't just pull a piece of cloth at a time, even if I agree, believe it or not, your grandma won't agree,
Do you want to make her angry because of this? If you really can't, use scented soap to wash. I see your father bought quite a lot of it."
When her grandmother was mentioned, Shen Youyou fell silent. She had always felt guilty about not being around when her grandparents passed away because she was at school. When she got the news and rushed back, they had already passed away.
Li Jingshu also didn't want her daughter to be sad, but there was nothing she could do. Her daughter was a bit of a germaphobe. This germaphobia is not a problem in modern times, but in ancient times, especially when fleeing from famine, it could be fatal!
There is really no other way, let’s bring up the old lady’s matter!
Shen Youyou didn't say anything else, looking a little depressed.
But Li Jingshu pretended not to notice. Her daughter continued to nag in a listless manner: "You can't stand this. Think about it, even if the grandparents in ancient times looked the same as the grandparents today,
But the living standards are different! Would you resist getting close to your grandparents for psychological reasons?
Besides, what were the ancient people like? Especially in the small mountain villages, how did they brush their teeth? How often did they take a bath?
There are other children in the village, do they have fleas, lice, etc.?
Yoyo, you have to adapt. There is no way you can escape from the famine in the future and take a bath every day.
You can't even wash your face. Think about your little face. We gave you such a good one.
"If you grow up with the advantages of your parents, and then you get kidnapped, in this chaotic time, who would take a fancy to you..."
"Okay, okay, okay! Please, stop talking. I'm getting goose bumps all over my body," Shen Youyou felt like she was about to collapse.
What is the fetish her mother is talking about? How come a middle-aged woman like her knows everything?
When everyone returned to the front of the car, Shen Zhiqiu saw that his daughter looked a little depressed.
I secretly asked my wife: "What's going on?"
Li Jingshu was very calm. She patted the leaves and hay that were stuck on her body and said, "It's okay. I'll give her a shot in advance. You know her mysophobia. How can she live without treatment?"
Uncle Li's name was Li Quan. He came over and asked, "Can you still hold on? Can you continue on your journey at night?"
Shen Zhiqiu rubbed his Yintang acupoint and said, "Let's continue on our journey. We have to work hard today. When we get to the village, we can rest before we set off again."
Li Jingshu also distributed some water and fried dough sticks to everyone so that they could eat if they were hungry on the way.
This time, she also carried her son and boarded Shen Zhiqiu's carriage, guarding her husband and daughter. She could still be more at ease.
Shen Zhiqiu waved his whip and set off again. He said to his wife and children behind him, "You guys take a nap. We won't have time to rest when we get to the village."
Several people were indeed sleepy, but it would be strange if they could fall asleep in such a bumpy carriage!
The facts will tell you that nothing is absolute. In this carriage, several people actually fell asleep.
Especially Shen Youyou and Shen Luming, one was in Li Jingshu's arms, and the other, whose body had shrunk now, just lay on the bedding, drooling in his sleep.
Li Jingshu woke up in the middle of the night because her legs were numb. Seeing that her child was sleeping soundly, she was reluctant to move him.
Such a young child had to follow them all day long to pack up and travel.
She also noticed that the children were a little panicked when they heard about conscription. Perhaps they were too young to know what conscription was, but the emotions of adults would affect children.
Even so, the child did not cry or make a fuss, but followed the adults quietly.
She couldn't explain why, but she just felt inexplicably distressed when she saw it.
Regardless of whether it was their past or present life, she would definitely treat this child as dearly as she would Yoyo in the future!
