Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

The man didn't sleep all night.

For the first half of the night, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, staring at Zhou Lingling and their convoy without blinking.

He wasn't feeling well in the second half of the night, especially after Zhou Lingling and the others had eaten and drunk their fill and fell asleep, and he also began to feel drowsy...

Until dawn.

The man was sleeping soundly next to their cart, holding a stick in his hand, when he was suddenly greeted.

"I told you to sleep!"

"Why don't you just sleep till you die? If you can't even do such a small thing all day long, what else can we expect from you?"

The man was beaten by the old lady until he screamed and cried, but he could only jump on the spot.

"Mom! Mom, please stop hitting me!"

"It's fine, what did I do wrong again, mother?"

The old lady threw down the shoes in her hand and sneered: "All right?"

"What did I tell you last night?"

How did you explain it?

Isn't it just about watching those people in front of you, seeing when they leave, and then following them...

Thinking of this, the man stretched his neck to look at the place where Zhou Lingling and the others camped last night.

"broken!"

"Mom, he's gone! What should I do?"

The old lady put on her shoes unhappily and gave him a fierce look.

"Sleeping like a pig, what do you know!"

"Hurry up and pack up your things and catch up!"

The family's surname is Tang.

Originally, I lived in a small village below the third county town heading south from Yunshui County.

Their place is not surrounded by mountains and rivers like Yunshui County, but is directly in the wilderness. It takes most of the day to walk to the nearest town.

There are only fifty or sixty households in this village. They usually live in the mountains to be self-sufficient. Some of them may not come out more than twice a year.

The old lady's surname is Zhao and she is a widow.

She is a widow with four sons and a daughter.

The man went into the mountains and lost his life when his daughter was just two years old. Fortunately, his eldest son was already twelve years old and his second son was ten years old at that time.

She was a widow with two half-grown sons, and raised three younger ones. She also married off all three sons, and three years ago, she married her daughter to another family in the village. Only her eldest son was still unmarried.

Although she is called an old lady, she is only forty-five or forty-six years old, which is still a middle-aged woman in modern times.

During those years, Widow Zhao and her five children suffered a lot of bullying in the village, and her temperament became more and more aggressive and strong, and she had absolute authority at home.

Fortunately, these children have not grown up astray. Although they have their own little thoughts and families now, they are still filial to her and never make mistakes on major issues.

Widow Zhao had long sensed that things were not going well this year, and the grain harvest in the summer would be pitifully small, so she sent her four sons and sons-in-law to the mountains to dig for food.

No matter whether it was wild products, wild fruits or wild vegetables, they were all brought home.

Even so, the remaining food in their home was not enough to last them until the New Year.

The whole family was filled with worry, but in the end it was Widow Zhao who made a bold decision.

"A tree that is moved dies, but a person who is moved lives. We are living people with hands and feet. There is nothing to eat here. Let's go further north, to the capital, to Jiangnan!"

A woman who grew up in the village only vaguely remembered that her former dead husband once said, "Jiangnan is a paradise on earth."

Since this is heaven, there should be food, right?

Widow Zhao made up her mind to take her whole family north to the south of the Yangtze River. Although everyone in the family was hesitant, they also wanted to give it a try.

So Widow Zhao asked her son to look for her daughter, son-in-law and daughter-in-law's family.

In the end, only the son-in-law and his family followed them.

That family has an only son, so the old couple can only live with their son. Widow Zhao's daughter must listen to her mother, and the son-in-law listens to her daughter.

So the two families took the only food they had at home, as well as pots, pans, clothes, and bedding, and set off on their journey pulling three carts.

But this journey was much more difficult than they had imagined.

They met some poor beggars. After they kindly gave them some alms, they stole their food while they were sleeping.

They also encountered hungry thugs who rushed to rob them in a frenzy.

The Tang family was no longer polite and beat those people to death when they caught them.

If it weren't for the fact that there were not so many young and strong people in their family, and the Tang brothers often ran around in the mountains, who looked not easy to mess with, who knows how much stuff would have been stolen along the way.

That's why Zhou Lingling and the others were so vigilant when they met the Tang family.

Widow Zhao gave an order, and soon her daughter and two daughters-in-law tied their youngest son to their bodies.

The eldest grandson sensibly helped his father push the heaviest cart in the house.

The son-in-law and the second son pushed one each, the eldest son led the way, and several daughters-in-law and the elderly walked beside the carts. When they were tired, they sat on them to rest. The third son followed at the end.

The whole family set off in a mighty procession.

As they walked, Widow Zhao took out the rice bran and wild vegetable pancakes she had made last night from the cart pushed by the eldest brother and gave each of them a piece.

Human legs and feet are no match for a horse-drawn carriage.

The Tang family chased for a long time but couldn't even catch sight of the Zhou family.

At this time,

Zhou Lingling and his group have arrived outside the county town closest to the provincial capital.

They found a hillside sheltered from the wind, where they planned to rest, have lunch, and wait for the caravan to meet up.

When Chen heard that Feiyu was going to the capital to make some purchases, she hurriedly pulled him aside and said, "Master Feiyu, remember to bring back some more salt!"

These people are all big eaters. They can make a big pot of wild vegetables picked up from the roadside woods. They have to add some salt, otherwise it will taste bitter.

Meixiang also said, "We don't have enough needles and thread. Master Feiyu should go to the cloth shop and ask for some."

She heard the young lady say that they had to buy cloth and cotton for everyone, because if there were not enough needles and thread, they would not be able to make clothes.

Feiyu agreed one by one and ran away in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Lingling supported her chin and watched his quickly moving figure, her eyes full of envy.

"Fugui'er, if I start drinking a pound of spiritual spring water every day, when will I be able to achieve such a light skill?"

Fuguier thought seriously for a moment before answering, "Unless something unexpected happens, it's impossible in this lifetime."

What beautiful things is the master thinking about?

The spiritual spring water can only improve her physical condition and detoxify, but it cannot allow her to immediately possess unparalleled magical powers after drinking it.

By the way, the master's physical condition is already very good now. As long as he practices hard, he may be able to reach Feiyu's level.

But who can blame the owner for being lazy...Alas!

Fuguier silently counted the weapons he had looted for his master from another dimension and nodded with satisfaction.

With such a lazy owner, I can only take more care of myself.

Zhou Lingling choked on a mouthful of blood when she heard Fuguier's cold-blooded and cruel answer.

"Fugui'er, whether we're human or spirit, let's not be too direct, okay? You can easily hurt some weak hearts."

Fuguier said innocently, "Master, you are very powerful! Not weak at all."

What does it mean if we don't agree on something, why bother talking?

That's about it.

Zhou Lingling quickly changed the subject: "Is everything ready?"

Xiao Yan had said that once they got here, the caravan would have to take over the food, and that the food could only be taken out from the Southern Region.

"Don't worry, Master! It's fine!"

Ok.

Zhou Lingling was still very confident in Fuguier's work.
