In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

Shen Qian followed the voice and looked at the fourth brother Wang Tianci.

I saw that Wang Liu was actually lying on the fourth brother?

In my memory, although Liu was not as strong as an ox.

But she had never fallen behind when fleeing under such harsh conditions, and her group was so well prepared this time, so why did she faint for no reason?

Thinking of this, Shen Qian looked back and forth at Liu.

Found that her body was exerting force?

Although the twisting was not big, Shen Qian saw it.

I understand in my heart.

"It's fine if Liu wants to rest in the car."

"It's just that there's only so much space in this car."

"Mother's legs and feet are still a little inconvenient, what should we do?" Shen Qian said, putting the difficult problem of filial piety on the fourth son Wang Tianci.

"Then...then ask my little sister to come down?" Wang Tianci was obviously having difficulty walking with Liu on his back, and he even started to breathe heavily while talking.

"I don't want it!" Xiao Qi was as smart as a shrewd person. He could tell from the way his mother examined Liu just now that Liu was not really fainted.

Besides, she hates Fourth Brother.

Why would he give up his position to Fourth Brother’s wife Liu?

"Xiao Qi!" Wang Tianci shouted loudly, and he was not careful with his feet and almost let Liu slip off his body.

In an emergency, he hooked his palm around Liu's leg.

But in this panic, Liu opened her eyes and subconsciously supported herself on the ground with her hands!

This time, Shen Qian was not the only one who saw it.

Even the surrounding villagers saw it.

Some of the elderly people who had previously given up their jobs to Liu showed surprised expressions.

Pretending...pretending? This thought flashed through everyone's mind.

Seeing that her secret was exposed, Liu struggled hard with her legs and broke free from Wang Tianci's hands.

Stand up straight from the ground.

But he pretended to be weak:

"I..I'm fine."

"Just now, my vision went dark and I felt a little dizzy."

Wang Tianci saw it and felt pain in his heart.

He naturally knew that his wife was pretending, but along the way, he really felt sorry for his wife, and if Xiaoqi could get on the ox cart, why couldn't his wife?

"Mother!" Wang Tianci looked at Shen Qian pleadingly.

"Honest." Shen Qian looked at Wang Tianci and said only two words.

These two words sounded as heavy as a thousand pounds to Wang Tianci.

Even though it was for his wife, it was wrong to deceive his biological mother.

"Tianci knows his mistake." Wang Tianci lowered his head, holding Liu's hand, and followed the ox cart.

"Let Wang Shen squeeze in." Shen Qian said, signaling Wang Tianci to stack another empty bucket on the three layers of empty buckets that were already stacked. Anyway, it wouldn't take up her space, so let him do it.

It's just that the cows and rhubarb that pull the carts are suffering, no one speaks up for them...

"Thank you, mother!"

"Thank you, mother!" Wang Tianci thanked her excitedly, and quickly climbed onto the ox cart. He used all his strength to lift the empty buckets higher and stack them up again to make room for Liu.

After jumping out of the car, he helped Liu get in and sit down.

Looking at Wang Tianci who was exhausted and out of breath, a trace of heartache flashed in Liu's eyes.

He reached into his sleeve, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped Wang Tianci.

Shen Qian really didn't want to see the miserable appearance of the mandarin ducks.

Just close your eyes.

This action made Wang Qingliu, the old man who had always been favored by the original body, secretly remember it in his heart:

I wanted to find a place to sit, but my mother wouldn't let me!

The fourth child tried every way to deceive his mother, but his mother just gave him a warning and then made room for him and his wife to sit in a new seat!

How unfair and biased!

He had never thought about it from another's perspective. Wang Shen had used up all the family's wealth to support him alone. Wasn't that unfair and biased towards the other children?

Now it was just a seat in the car, but he felt that Shen Qian was being unfair.

What an ungrateful person who never realizes when he favors himself, but immediately hates others once he favors them!

......

"General Manager, the salt lake is ahead. Should we take a detour or cross the salt lake?"

In front of the salt lake, a eunuch dressed in black with an embroidered spring sword on his waist was riding on a horse and asking questions to the people in the carriage.

These people were naturally Liang Zhaozhong and others who escaped from Beiliang Pass.

"Go straight through!"

"The North is no longer indefensible."

"The sooner we arrive in Liangdu, the more chances Taishang will have of survival." A feminine voice came from the sedan chair, but compared with the previous shouts at the border, this voice had a hint of tiredness and weakness!

"Yes!" Seeing this, more than a dozen eunuchs on horseback responded at the same time!

As they went deeper into the salt lake, a eunuch frowned as he looked at the footprints left by the trampled footprints.

But the deeper you go into the salt lake, the smaller the visible range becomes.

It would definitely be unwise for their already pitifully small number of people to explore the salt lake separately!

"Grand Steward."

"I'm afraid a group of people have entered the salt lake before us." The eunuch reported the information he saw truthfully:

"Judging from the footprints and wheel marks, there were probably thousands of people there!"

After his report was finished, the team of more than ten people stopped again.

If they go further, unknown dangers may be waiting for them.

It might be unlikely that the barbarian pursuers would reach this point.

But even if the disaster victims nearby turned to bandits and really wanted to rob them, it would be a pipe dream for a dozen people to resist thousands of people!

"Go straight through!" The chief steward's voice was filled with a hint of impatience:

"My reputation among the people, Liang Zhaozhong, is enough to deter the scoundrels!"

"promise!"

Seeing the chief steward giving orders with great authority, the eunuchs felt more confident.

Keep moving forward steadily!

......

Salt lake, salt lake!

Although this place is named as a lake, it has no shape of a lake. The soil is just soft and covered with white and yellow crystals.

The lake gets its name from the fog that stretches for hundreds of miles. Entering it is like entering a lake and you can't find your way.

Even if there is water accumulation, it is just potholes of varying sizes.

As they went deeper, the Wangjiacun group arrived at an area with thick fog.

The visual range is sharply reduced to several meters!

Three ox carts were moving forward one after the other, and the ox from the first ox cart could not even be seen at the rear of the third ox cart!

Even if it's just standing up and looking.

The cow's figure was also hidden in the fog.

"Wang Shen!"

"Wang Shen!" Wang Dakuo arrived before the voice even appeared!

Shen Qian heard the shouting and looked towards the source of the sound, but saw nothing but thick fog.

After a long time, Wang Dakuo finally emerged from the fog.

"Uncle Dakuo, what happened just now?" Shen Qian asked doubtfully.

"This...the people walking in front are all complaining about the unbearable pain in their feet. Is there any solution?" Wang Dakuo asked in shame. He was obviously the village chief, but when they encountered some problems, everyone had to come to Wang Shen to seek solutions.

After Shen Qian heard this, the scene of crossing the salt lake in her previous life emerged in her mind.

It seems that many people tore their clothes and wrapped them around their feet?

But those who tore their clothes rarely managed to hold out when the temperature dropped.

Thinking of this, Shen Qian suggested:

"If you have a lot of summer clothes with you, you can try to tear them apart and walk with your feet wrapped."

"But this method only works for an hour or two, and you have to avoid puddles, otherwise the salt water will irritate the wound on your foot, making it even more painful."

"Remember to tell the villagers not to tear their clothes. The journey south is long. If they are delayed, winter will come and they will be hard to endure without clothes!"

"That's...okay."

"I'll think about how to announce it." Wang Dakuo nodded helplessly after hearing Shen Qian's suggestion.

He also thought of foot binding, but every household was a farmer and no one had so much extra cloth to carry with them, so they could only tear their clothes.

And he had the same concerns as Shen Qian.

Because they were afraid that someone would tear their clothes or bound feet, they delayed spreading the method.

Behind the Wangjiacun team.

Liang Zhaozhong and his group followed.

The eunuch walking in front just galloped on his horse!

Follow the team all the way to Wangjia Village.

After running around for a long time, he made everyone in Wangjia Village look confused. No matter who came to talk to him, he ignored them.

After returning, the eunuch asked the chief steward sitting in the carriage:

"There's a group of migrating people ahead."

"They are well-organized and not bandits."
