After walking for a whole day, it is now midnight. We have only walked about 25 kilometers with stops and starts. There is no way, the mountain road is difficult to walk on, and there are all kinds of problems along the way.

The people of Yujia Village are setting up camp and preparing to rest.

The mountain they were walking on could only be called a mountain, because it was just a continuous large earthen slope, and the tallest tree was only two or three meters high.

The village head wiped the sweat from his face, sat down next to Yu Yaozu, and licked his dry lips:

"Yaozu! The water we brought is not enough..."

Yu Yaozu was not worried and picked up a stone with mud on the sole of his shoe: "Then go find it~"

What is this old man trying to do here?

"Oh! When will it end?" The village head looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle with a worried look on his face.

"Uncle headman, it's only the first day, it's still early! Okay! I'll just sigh for a few words, I have to find a place to take a nap." Emma was so sleepy.

Yu Yaozu patted his butt and left, heading straight for Qiao Mu, saying in a very flattering manner:

"Wife, you should go in and have a rest too. It's so unreasonably hot. It's only been a few months, and it's already so hot. Don't tell me..."

Don’t tell me it’s a drought!

Of course Yu Yaozu didn’t say this, but Qiao Mu is not a fool!

After saying this, Yu Yaozu wiped the sweat off his forehead, frowned, and fanned the hot air with his sleeves.

As if he had thought of something, he leaned close to Qiao Mu and whispered:

"Ask your daughter to get you some ice cream or something to cool you down."

Qiao Mu glanced at Yu Yaozu's cloth shoes that were worn to the point of exposing his toes, then turned and entered the carriage.

You can’t walk on mountain roads wearing cloth shoes. Look, a pair of good shoes has been ruined. What a waste of such a good thing... What a spendthrift old man!

Thanks to the golden finger! I have to secretly fill more water tomorrow. That space contains spiritual spring water, which cannot be wasted.

When Yu Baibai saw her mother coming in, she handed her an icy old popsicle.

"Eat!" Eat big chunks! There's plenty anyway.

Moreover, Qiao Mu was afraid that Yu Baibai would get an upset stomach from eating the ice, so he made some mung bean soup and froze it in the refrigerator of the villa. It’s just right to eat it now!

"Ancestor! Be careful!" Qiao Mu quickly closed the curtain, but the old man tore the popsicle open and ate it directly.

"Yeah, I'll be more careful next time. How about calling my dad in to eat something?"

"Stop shouting. Just use a bamboo tube to fill it with some boiled water stored in the villa and drink it." It was a hot day, and drinking something cold all at once could cause trouble.

"Oh"

"Don't eat this, you're so small now..."

Before Qiao Mu could finish, Yu Baibai ate the last bit in one gulp and immediately started to eat it:

"Ang ang ang... I'll go get some water for my dad!"

I don’t know what’s going on with this damn weather. It’s said to be hot but it’s actually this hot. I’m almost going to die from the heat.

Yu Baibai hates summer the most. In the past, she wanted to stay in the air-conditioned room and never go out. But now it’s much easier. She can just think about it.

You have to eat an old popsicle secretly, and you can’t go near others after eating it - it smells bad!

Sweet and cool~

That’s so cool!

Qiao Mu didn't care what Yu Baibai was doing. After eating, he quickly made shoes for Yu Yaozu.

All the wives started

Under the scorching sun, a group of women and children, carrying baskets on their shoulders, walked across the hillside, looking for wild vegetables.

Their figures appeared small and determined in the sunlight, and no one turned back to rest even when their skin was burning from the sun.

The women wrapped their heads with cloth to protect themselves from the scorching sun.

The children followed behind with curiosity, their eyes constantly searching the ground, hoping to find the green "food" hidden in the grass.

They carefully observed every patch of grass. Whenever they found a wild vegetable, they would quickly bend down, gently pluck it with their hands, and put it into the basket like a treasure.

These wild vegetables may have been part of their dinner, or they may have been stored for future use.

Sweat kept dripping from their foreheads, soaking their clothes, but they did not stop.

On the contrary, they searched more intently, as if it were an extremely important task.

During this process, the women would also exchange experiences with each other and share where it is easier to find wild vegetables.

As the sun gradually set, the wild vegetables in the basket became more and more.

The women and children set out on their journey down the mountain with their full harvest.

Their figures gradually faded away in the afterglow of the setting sun...

What followed was a period of chaos and the wild vegetables were put into the pot. For those who dug up more wild vegetables, they might be able to eat a few more bites today.

Yu Baibai turned his head to look at the lively scene outside, without any ripples in his heart. He lay calmly in the shade waiting for his family to feed him.

"Pull over! Get up and eat!"

"Hey..." Although Yu Baibai had been sitting on the donkey cart, it was tiring to sit all the time, okay? Besides, how could this little body bear it!

I remember that even Yu Baibai couldn’t stand sitting in the office for half a day, let alone this little Yu Baibai.

Yu Yaozu was eating the wild vegetable porridge in his bowl. Seeing that his daughter looked like she had lost all hope in life, he knew that she was tired. He didn't dare to move forward and turned around silently to continue eating.

"Alas! My daughter! Daddy can't do anything! This is how it is these days. If it were in the past, Daddy would have built you a plane, but this is ancient times! The conditions really don't allow it!"

Grandpa Qiao wanted to move forward, but was unfortunately stopped by Qiao Mu.

Even though she ate slowly, Yu Baibai still finished her meal quietly.

After eating and drinking, they had something to discuss. One person from each family gathered around the fire at the headman's house and sat in a circle.

When Yu Yaozu brought Yu Baibai over, everyone was already there and was talking about something.

The village head patted the person beside him and said, "Yaozu, come and sit here."

"Village head." Yu Yaozu was not at all shy and sat down directly. On one side was the village head, and on the other was his own father...

When Yu Baibai saw his grandfather, he smiled and rushed over to him.

Yu Yaozu: You don’t want your father anymore?

The village head scanned the area and saw that everyone was present before he said:

"We're all exhausted today, but we've only come this far! We still have a long way to go, and we have to plan for food supplies for each family. The weather is getting hotter day by day, and water is also a big issue! Alas! The old man is incompetent. I discussed a plan with Yaozu on the way, and now I'll let Yaozu have a few words."

After the village head finished speaking, someone said, "That's right! Yaozu, you've seen a lot, and we all respect you!"

"That's right! I admire you!"

The village head was very happy to see this scene. Fortunately, these people were honest. If they had any opinions about Yaozu, it would be difficult to lead this team.

If Yu Yaozu doesn't dare to give up, how can he lead them by himself?

Yu Yaozu had long known that the village head would do this, and fortunately he had explained it to Yu Baibai before coming.

Now he also stood up, cleared his throat, and looked at Yu Baibai again.

Yu Baibai secretly made an OK gesture in his grandfather's arms.
