Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

When Lin Weizhong saw Liu Caixia coming over with a child in her arms, he quickly pulled the baby out of her arms and asked, "What's wrong? Where did the child come from?"

"I found it over there in the woods!"

"Forget it, let's go back first! We still have to go on our way! We can talk while we walk."

Liu Caixia and her companions encountered many orphans and widows on their way to escape famine. They not only met their own people, but also picked up other people. However, they had never encountered such a small baby. It might be that the journey was too cruel, and such a small baby could not wait for them to pick it up.

"I think the child's underwear is of good quality, and it's a boy. He might be from a wealthy family. Maybe he was thrown away by a family feud or an enemy."

"Why not just kill him?" Lin Weizhong was puzzled. People at that time were said to be simple yet scheming. They were said to be kind yet murderous without blinking an eye.

"I do not know either!"

When Liu Caixia came back with something in her arms, Liu's father and Luo Hong came up curiously to ask what happened. Liu Caixia briefly explained the situation, and the other vehicles saw what was happening here and did not ask any more questions.

The servant of the Su family called out, "Everyone, pack up and get ready to go!"

Liu Caixia got on the carriage and the baby started crying very softly. Liu Caixia knew that the baby was crying either because she was hungry or uncomfortable, but she could not do anything now and could only feed her some water.

Liu Caixia was sitting in the carriage. Several people in the carriage were looking at the baby in her arms. Lin Keyu was the first to ask, "Aunt Caixia, where did this child come from?"

Liu Caixia had no intention of hiding it and told the story of the child again.

"So he will stay in our house from now on?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's see the situation later. Let's find the child's family first." Information and transportation were not well developed at that time, and it was unknown whether the child's relatives could be found.

The child drank enough water and fell into a daze again. The next time he urinated, Liu Caixia could only find some clothes she brought with her to wipe him off. There was really no other way. Liu Caixia soaked some steamed bread in warm water, stirred it into a paste, and fed the child twice. Fortunately, they boiled water during the break. Otherwise, the child would not be able to bear the cold water.

In this way, we made it to the county town.

It was already dark, and we finally managed to get into the city before the gates closed.

Fortunately, they followed the Su family caravan. If they were on their own, they would not have been able to control the itinerary at all, let alone make it to the county town to spend the night.

After arriving at the inn, they each checked into a room to rest, and provided for their own food and lodging.

Father Liu ordered a table full of food and a large bowl of rice soup for the baby.

After eating and drinking, Father Liu asked, "Caixia, what are your plans for this child?"

"I don't know!"

"Let's find the child's family first, but I think it's uncertain..."

"Yeah, if someone wants to harm him, they definitely don't want him to be found again. Maybe if they find him again, they will just kill him next time."

"Dad, don't think too much. This child looks like he is only four or five months old. I was really soft-hearted. If it doesn't work out, we can just raise him and put him in my and Wei Zhong's name."

Lin Weizhong had no objection and nodded in agreement.

"That's fine, you decide. You can raise a child. But I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

"I'll be careful. It's late now and I can't go shopping. I'll change his blanket first. No one knows such a young child, so I'll say he's my own child. No one will check if I leave here and go to a new place."

"Don't underestimate the people here. Their wisdom should not be underestimated."

"I know."

They booked three rooms. If Liu Caixia hadn't been there, two rooms would have been enough. Three medium-sized rooms, one for 120 wen each, were not very expensive, but the meals were a little more expensive.

Liu Caixia slept with her child, while Lin Weizhong slept with Liu's father and Luo Hong, and the other four people slept in one room.

You can squeeze in some accommodation and save a little, but you can’t save on food.

This idea was unanimously agreed by everyone.

As for the idea of ​​picking up a child, Wan Tongsheng was the first one to accept it. After all, boys at that time were already a labor force, and they were sold to human traffickers at a higher price than girls.

Moreover, Liu Caixia and Lin Weizhong can afford to raise a child, so it won't be a loss whether they educate him to study or let him do housework at home in the future.

The shops open quite early. The next day before dawn, Liu Caixia went out to purchase things. The county town was quite large, so she bought some steamed buns at a roadside bun shop as supplies and asked about the nearest grocery store.

Liu Caixia wanted to see if there was anything she could give the child to eat. If not, she could only give the child something to eat.

Liu Caixia did not bring the child with her, but asked Liu's father to take care of the child and feed the child some rice noodles. They had to travel today, so she went out to buy things and came back quickly.

I went to the clothing shop first. As it had just opened in the morning, the guys in the shop were still a little sleepy and looked listless. When they saw customers coming in, they didn't come over to greet them, but were busy tidying up the shop and organizing the goods.

"Hey bro, do you have any ready-made clothes for babies that I want?"

The young man came over and said, "Madam, please come this way. I'll show you some of the goods. Many of them haven't been put out yet."

The young man pulled out a pile of clothes, neatly folded, from the cabinet below and placed them on the counter.

Liu Caixia looked through the clothes and found that the quality of the children's clothes was pretty good. They were made of pure cotton and the colors were not too fancy. She picked and chose two sets. "Brother, can you sell me some scraps of cloth?"

The young man took out another bag of rags and said, "I'll sell this bag for twenty cents. You can't pick and choose."

The scraps of cloth were put in a linen bag. The bag was very large. Liu Caixia picked it up and estimated that it weighed more than 20 kilograms. "Okay, how much are these two sets of clothes together?"

The young man happily put the bag of rags on the ground, packed up the two sets of clothes for her, and handed them to her, "A total of eighty cents!"

Children's clothes are not cheap either.

Liu Caixia came out with her things and headed straight to the inn. There was nothing suitable for children in the grocery store. Not to mention milk powder, there was none!

She couldn't sell a wet nurse, and it was inconvenient to buy dairy cows and goats. It seemed that she could only feed Mihu. Fortunately, it was four or five months old, so it should be able to survive by eating Mihu. If conditions allowed, she could even make steamed egg custard.

But it's just these two days of travel, and it will be fine once things stabilize.

When Liu Caixia rushed back to the inn with her belongings, the caravan was already ready. When the servant saw them coming back, he immediately said, "Everyone is ready, let's go!"

Liu Caixia hurriedly put her things on the carriage, got on and set off.
