Space Food Storage: Daily Travel

Yin Shi.

The crowd, who had hardly slept a wink, agreed to leave quickly and had to abandon the wolf meat.

This place is no longer safe. So many of them are injured. If anything else happens, they won't be able to withstand it.

After a quick breakfast, they got a simple stretcher, and four strong men carried Liu Laizi away.

Those whose foot injuries were not serious walked with the help of crutches, leaning on the crutches under their armpits. It was Liu Yuhan who gave Li Dazhu and Li Erzhu the idea.

For other people with injured hands, the village chief organized people to help carry their bags and push their wheelbarrows.

In short, you have to leave quickly.

There are poisonous snakes and wolves, and I can't guarantee what will appear next.

The group walked very slowly, and it took them three days to get out of the dense forest.

It will take about five more days to get out of Xiaoyan Mountain, and we will camp in a leeward valley tonight.

Everyone's wounds were almost healed, and Liu Yuhan joined the Liu, Li, and others in cooking. She used a blender to mince the pork from the space, blending the fat and lean meat, and cooked several pots of porridge with minced meat, eggs, and vegetables tonight. She added a little extra salt.

Liu Yuhan's family contributed most of the food, and the two village chiefs kept it in mind. When they were better off after the famine, they would make up for it even if they had to use public funds.

We also have to remind the villagers from time to time to be grateful and not be ungrateful.

On the second day, everyone took a day off to look for food and water. After leaving the mountain, they didn't know what the life would be like outside, so it was always a good idea to stock up on some food first.

While digging for yams, we came across a small chestnut forest. Almost everyone went there to pick some.

Liu Yuhan and his men stocked up with enough water. It was a busy day.

Five days later.

After spending a full twenty-five days in Xiaoyan Mountain, they finally made it out and bypassed Wu'an City.

By the time they reached the populated official road, it felt like they were in another world.

You don’t feel the heat when you stay in the mountains, but you can feel the scorching heat when you come out.

The sultry air baked everyone's faces. It was mid-August and the weather was still hot.

The next city sandwiched between the south and the north is Anyang City, which belongs to the central and northern part.

There was a group of fifty or sixty people in front of them. They were already in a bad state, but the group seemed even worse off than them. They were unkempt, with pale faces, dull eyes, and few bags on them. Seeing them approaching, they cautiously shrank to the side.

The two village chiefs hesitated for a moment, then walked over and asked the person who seemed to be in charge.

"Excuse me, brother, where are you from? We are fleeing from the famine in Luoyang County. Before, the barbarians invaded and we hid in the mountains. May I ask how the world is doing now? Have all the barbarians fled?"

When the man heard them say this and saw that they looked like villagers, he told them the whole story.

The barbarians were driven away, but they also robbed and killed many people. This group of people came from Wu'an City, which had almost become a deserted city.

The barbarians took away valuables and beautiful women. The officials had already run away. They were from a village near Wu'an City and had hidden themselves. The barbarians left when they saw they could not take anything.

Later, the barbarians were driven back to their hometown by the Qi family army that came from the capital, and the city was also recaptured.

But what can be done? The northern part of Nanlin Kingdom suffered severe disasters, and the imperial court did not care. I heard that many people who fled the famine in the north to the capital either died of starvation and thirst on the road, or were robbed and killed or captured by bandits.

This was told to them by the villagers who served as soldiers in the Qi family army.

The bandit problem was severe. Hearing that the situation ahead was also unstable, they took things one step at a time. They hoped that once they reached Yiyang City, the government would take care of the people's lives.

After listening to this, the village chief returned to discuss countermeasures with the clan elder Liu Daling and his family. They all decided to walk and see what was happening. They would still follow the same grouping they had in the mountains. Everyone was used to it, and this would be more organized.

When you take a break, you can just hide in the woods beside the official road, or you can cook some food away from the crowd.

The food they brought back from the mountains could easily last them ten days or half a month if they saved it.

Liu Daling's team walked behind Village Chief Liu. Liu Laizi's wounds had gradually healed, and he could walk slowly on his own. He held his mother by a rope and carried a backpack, while Liu Yang helped push the wheelbarrow.

After hunting wolves, their eyes became more determined.

Walking on the official road, holding a machete and a hoe, and carrying a bow and arrow, I can tell at a glance that I am not someone to be trifled with, and don't even try to mess with me.

Ordinary villagers would give way to them when they saw them, and if there were any who coveted their food, they would also consider whether they had the ability to do so.

The sword that Liu Yuhan brought out of the space to Liu has now become his mother's exclusive property, and also the common sword of the mother and daughter.

Whenever Liu Yuhan needed to practice swordplay, Liu would be there to guide him.

This matter has been made public. Through the wolf-killing incident on the mountain, everyone knows how powerful Liu is and secretly admires her. There is nothing wrong with someone wanting to teach their daughter self-defense.

During breaks, when the mother and daughter had time to practice swordplay, they didn't shy away from the crowd. Xiaowu also followed them, holding a wooden sword and practicing the moves.

His mother told him that he had a talent for martial arts and would teach him. Xiaowu was very happy. He grew up strong and was not afraid of hard work.

He was not afraid when he killed the wolf last time. He regretted that he was still young and did not know martial arts, otherwise he could help his parents and sister and would not let his brothers and sisters get hurt.

Liu Shinan was even more irritated. He was numb from all the stares he had received recently.

My daughter-in-law is so capable, it’s impossible that my daughter is more capable than me.

He humbly asked his wife for advice, picked up a wooden stick and started practicing his moves. When he had free time, he would take Xiaowu, Liu Yang and others to stand in a stance, and several people would practice with each other using wooden sticks.

Liu Yang...

Because he was bitten by a wolf, he became the weakest person in the family who needed to practice martial arts the most. However, he thought in his heart that he was the eldest brother and he had to hold on.

Although he has poor talent, he has great strength.

He was a man who could carry 300 kilograms of grain in one breath. He was very serious in his training. Liu was satisfied with his attitude and often compared Liu Shinan with Liu Yang, sometimes even hinting at him asking why he was not as good as the younger one.

Liu Shinan...why does my heart always feel so cold?

Liu Shinan, who was in a bad mood, attacked Liu Shihu who was squatting nearby watching the show.

"You are the eldest brother, you can't be weaker than me."

Liu Shihu...

The young men in the village who liked to practice martial arts also took up their wooden sticks and followed suit. After learning the simple moves, they would practice with each other.

This is a good sign. It's always good to be able to improve the overall capabilities of this group of people.

Therefore, every time this group of refugees takes a break, there are two scenes: one is a group of young boys led by Liu Guang of the Liu family and Yang Zhi of the Yang family reading. The other is a group of little sisters led by Liu Yao, Liu Yun and Liu Xiang of the Liu family reading and learning to read.

First, the young men led by Liu Yang of the Liu family and the hunters practiced sword (wooden swords) and boxing and kicking. The two village chiefs were very pleased to see this.

This went on day after day, walking on the official road during the day and setting up camp in the woods beside the official road at night.

This morning, they passed by a deserted village. Liu Yuhan took his parents to check it out and took out several ox carts from the space. Liu Shinan fiddled with the obvious markings on the carts, but after a while, it was difficult to tell what the carts looked like.

They asked the young men in the village to come and pull it back, and the three of them walked towards the center of the village. Several large wells were dry, and the village was empty and lifeless. Except for a broken cart, they found nothing.

Seeing that there was firewood, Liu Yuhan put it all into the space. Liu Yuhan took out two bags of brown rice from the space and asked if they found it in the cellar.

Two bags of rice were placed on a creaking cart, and Liu Shinan pushed it back.

Everyone was very happy to see that they had found the ox cart, and they were even happier when they saw that they had found two bags of brown rice.

With an ox cart, public property could be loaded onto the cart and pulled, making things easier for everyone. Liujia Village had one ox, Yang Nianhua had one ox, and Xiaoshi Village had two oxen.

The two village chiefs looked at these ox carts and fell into deep thought. Why did they feel a sense of déjà vu? Perhaps all ox carts looked the same?

After walking for another five days, it was approaching the end of August. After crossing a large valley, we would be close to Anyang City.
