After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Shen Jinyao had no idea what was happening to Xiang Hongxuan.

After she separated from Xiang Hongxuan, she went to find someone from the Shen family.

When Shen Jinyao returned, Shen Zhiyong and others had already found water.

But not much.

She did not tell her grandmother about her meeting with Xiang Hongxuan.

Shen Jinyao called Zong Cheng, Meng Da, Ergou, Zhiyong and Zhixue to discuss the next route.

"Our next stop must be to go to Dongshan Village to find Doctor Gao."

Zong Cheng looked at the map and said, "When we get there, we won't find anything empty-handed, will we?"

Shen Zhiyong: "That's right, Doctor Gao won't leave there, right?"

After all, it is a place with severe drought.

Ergou: “No.”

No one doubted Ergou's firm attitude.

They just wondered, how can they live without any water?

But they forgot that Dr. Gao was a doctor and he would always change the water.

Shen Zhixue: "If you calculate it this way, it will take about five days."

Five days is still too slow.

Shen Jinyao was worried about the situation of her mother and third aunt.

Shen Jinyao: "It has to be faster. I'm worried their bodies can't wait five days."

Meng Da: "That's it, walk more and stop less along the way."

This is the only way.

Shen Zhixue: "If it can be done quickly, it will arrive in about three days."

Shen Jinyao and others nodded.

They spent the rest of the time on the road.

The weather is getting hotter and the water sources nearby are becoming less and less.

However, because the Shen family had to hurry on their journey, they only ate two meals, morning and noon, except for drinking a few sips of water when necessary.

They drank very little water every day, and except for the old lady and a few other ladies, everyone else's lips had cracked.

They rarely spoke to each other because it was too tiring and their throats would be dry and sore if they talked too much.

They searched further and further for water.

The water in Shen Jinyao's water tank is specially used when no water can be found.

The Shen family encountered more and more refugees on the road.

These refugees were somewhat different from the ones they had met before.

They were skinny and their clothes were tattered.

He walked a little unsteadily.

They are no longer a complete team, and it seems that no one is familiar with each other.

But the vast majority of them were refugees fleeing famine.

Only the Shen family seemed out of place.

Others are going out, but they are going in.

We walked like this for nearly two days and two nights.

Everyone was tired, hungry, sleepy and hot.

Mrs. Shen and the third wife both felt a little guilty.

They knew that the team was so anxious because of them.

Everything was fine these two days.

In the evening, the third wife started bleeding again.

After another busy period, I saw that the water in the tank was getting less and less.

But I still have to make ginseng and brown sugar water for the third wife.

Since Shen Jinyao met Xiang Hongxuan that day, she has never gone out alone to look for water again.

But she always left some water in the tank.

This way no one can tell.

"Don't worry, Aunt San, we'll be there tomorrow."

The third lady smiled bitterly and nodded.

It's so dry here, is Dr. Gao really still here?

Even if she was there, how would she survive this day and night?

Although her sister-in-law and mother-in-law tried to persuade her, she was the only one who knew that her lower abdomen was really hurting.

"Mother, Le Yao is with you."

"Good boy."

Shen Jinyao looked at Madam Shen again and saw that her face did not look very good either.

She guessed that she might have suffered from heatstroke.

Mrs. Shen is not the only one in this situation.

Everyone has some.

Fortunately, there was mint in Shen Jinyao's space, and she lied that she picked the mint leaves in the wild.

This way, at least I can hold on for a while.

Shen Jinyao: "Mother, would you like some water?"

Mrs. Shen said weakly, "Jin'er, I'm not thirsty. You can drink with Zhixin."

How could Shen Jinyao obey her? At her strong request, she finally drank a few sips.

She went to see the old lady again.

I don’t know if it’s her imagination.

Why did she feel that the old lady's spirit was getting worse and worse?

She once asked Zhixin quietly, but Zhixin said she was thinking too much.

No illness was found in the others.

Shen Jinyao understood that it was a heart disease.

"Grandma, are you feeling hot?"

When the old lady saw Shen Jinyao coming, she forced a smile.

"It's okay. Compared to you guys, I feel more comfortable now."

She doesn't have to move, and someone will take care of everything for her.

Even when there was a shortage of water, she and her two daughters-in-law never stopped taking medicine.

What else can the children do?

She was already content.

She was just worried about her three sons, her eldest grandson, and the two little ones in her belly.

Ever since she fell, she hasn't had a full night of sleep.

Sometimes she wondered if she would live to see her three sons again.

If she were not there, would the Shen family's path to exile be easier?

However, she didn't dare to show any of these thoughts.

Her daughter-in-law and grandchildren are amazing.

Now that Tingyao and Leyao have become more cunning, she can only think about it on her own.

"Are your mother and your third aunt feeling better?"

Shen Jinyao: "Much better."

This time, when Third Aunt had her period, Shen Jinyao decided not to tell the old lady.

The only solution is to find Dr. Gao as soon as possible.

The more people know, the more people worry.

The old lady said, "That's good. Jin'er, thank you for your hard work."

Shen Jinyao: "Grandma, you've said this too many times. This is what I should do."

The old lady patted Shen Jinyao's hand and said nothing in the end.

After getting out of the old lady's carriage, Shen Jinyao discussed with everyone that they should hurry on their journey.

"If we hurry, we can reach Dongshan Village before noon tomorrow."

Zong Cheng: "But..."

They have no water.

If they kept rushing, he was worried that everyone would die of thirst on the road.

Shen Jinyao said, "I still have some water in my carriage. I'll give everyone some to drink. I also haven't taken out some of the fruit from before."

In fact, the fruit had already been taken out.

But every time Shen Jinyao distributed the fruit, she would tell everyone that she would leave some in the carriage.

That's why people have the illusion that there is still fruit.

After all, they had been picking fruits every day before, and no one had really counted how much was left.

Meng Da sighed and said, "In that case, Zong Cheng, let's hurry to Dongshan Village."

They all knew that life would be even harder in Dongshan Village.

But at least everyone's injuries, both minor and major, and the baby in my belly will be fine.

So they only rested for half an hour and then started on their journey again.

They held their breath and wanted to get to Dongshan Village as quickly as possible.

Although the road ahead was not difficult to walk on, it was drier.

When we arrived at Dongshan Village, there was no one in the village to ask for directions.

In the end, Ergou found Dr. Gao's house.

"Long time no see, Doctor Gao. Should I still call you Uncle Wang?"
