Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!
Chapter 18 Asking for Milk
Yaoyao was held by Old Lady Liu and sat on the ox cart.
She sucked her fingers and listened to Old Lady Liu and Ye Wan calculating whether they had enough food to make it to the south, and they were also afraid of running into the group from the night before on the road.
An atmosphere of sorrow lingered around the Yuan family, and everyone's expression was filled with fear and confusion.
They are just ordinary people who should live an ordinary life.
They were suddenly assassinated by a killer, and they didn't know what they had done wrong!
Yaoyao raised her hand, revealing a smile with two small dimples on the corners of her mouth that were particularly beautiful. Her thick, long and curled eyelashes were like a palm-leaf fan, her eyebrows were curved, and her little face was fair with a hint of red, and her pink and tender face was particularly beautiful.
He made some babbling sounds and touched Old Lady Liu's face with his chubby hands.
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, the bad guys will beat you up.
Three-year-old Guoan sat on Xiaohei's back, standing in front of the ox cart with his head held high.
The dog's face was full of arrogance.
When Old Lady Liu saw it, she couldn't help but laugh, "I see, Xiao Hei is very powerful."
Xiao Hei stuck out his tongue and spun in circles, and Guoan grabbed his white fur and let out a crisp giggle.
Guoping, Guoxing and Guowang were all envious, but unfortunately their body sizes did not allow it.
Old Lady Liu's joke dispelled the sadness that had just spread among the Yuan family. Everyone looked at Xiao Hei and Guo An and laughed.
Yaoyao yawned and, unable to resist her baby instinct, fell asleep.
The third son's wife walked in front and glanced back at Yaoyao from time to time, muttering something in her mouth, and it was estimated that it was not something good.
When Yaoyao opened her eyes again, it was already time for the lunch break.
The Yuan family found a cool place and started to cook lunch. Fortunately, they had eaten milk and sweet potatoes in the morning, otherwise the family would not have been able to withstand the whole morning's journey.
Some distance away from Yuanjia Village, the Yuan family also met several families fleeing famine with their wives, children and elderly people on the official road.
When those families saw the Yuan family driving an ox cart, a big snow-white dog carrying a three-year-old child on its back, and a cart pulled by people, they all showed envy in their eyes.
During the three years of drought, the family’s livestock had long been eaten, not to mention the strong cows and dogs. Especially the cow, with two milk bags hanging under its belly, it looked like it had plenty of milk.
The wife of one of the families had just given birth to a one-month-old baby. Due to lack of milk, the baby looked very weak. When she saw the Yuan family's cows, she became interested.
Yaoyao secretly fed the cow some spiritual spring water and vegetables from the space.
When she was still a little Pixiu, she liked to travel around the world. In one of the small worlds, humans especially liked to give their children milk, and all their children grew up tall and strong.
She thought milk must be something very nutritious. Her brothers at home were all pale and thin, so she had to find a way to make them grow taller and gain weight.
Drinking milk is the best choice.
Seeing that the cow started to drip milk again, Ye Wan quickly took a bucket and started milking.
"There's a river!"
With a shout, those who heard that there was water took out their tools and ran to the river.
Seeing that Shen Chulan looked tired, Yuan Laoer carried Yaoyao and a few other children to the river to fetch water.
There is only shallow water in the river, so you have to walk to the center of the river to scoop water.
Guoping and Guoxing picked up stones to surround a small puddle, and pulled the cow over to let it drink water.
As a result, the cow just drank a sip, turned its head away with a look of disgust, walked ashore back to the Yuan family's resting place, and lay on the ground to rest.
The younger ones didn't care and started fetching water with buckets.
Yaoyao sucked her fingers, her eyes rolled around, and she tugged at Yuan Laoer's clothes.
Yuan Lao Er was scooping water into a bucket by the river when he felt his precious daughter tugging at his clothes. He lowered his head and looked at Yaoyao's 'toothless' smile. He laughed, "Oh, Yaoyao, why are you smiling so happily?"
Suddenly, there was a splash and water splashed everywhere.
Yuan Laoer was startled and looked into the river suspiciously. He saw two fat grass carps in the river. One of the fish weighed almost ten pounds and was leisurely shaking its tail. He gasped.
Without waiting for him to grab the fish, he threw it into the bucket.
Guoping and Guoxing cheered excitedly.
"There are fish, there are fish in the river!"
"Where where?"
These words were like a stone thrown into a calm river, causing ripples. Several families who were scooping water into buckets all jumped into the river and started scooping.
Yuan Laoer quickly threw the two grass carps into the bucket.
Guoping and Guoxing knew that what they said almost caused trouble, so they shrank their necks, grabbed a few fish at their feet and threw them into the bucket, then ran back.
Yaoyao sucked her fingers and looked at the families still fishing in the river. She blinked her big black eyes and then closed them reluctantly.
“I caught a fish!”
"I caught a fish too. What a big one!"
The few families still fishing in the river cheered with joy.
Yuan Laoer paused, looked at Yaoyao who had closed her eyes and was sleeping, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
When Old Lady Liu saw Yuan Laoer and several of his grandchildren running back with fish, she knew that her precious granddaughter had come to bring her something again.
Hearing the cheers coming from the river again, she took Yaoyao from Yuan Laoer's hands and talked to her in a negotiating tone.
"Yaoyao, grandma knows you have great abilities. You can't do this next time, okay?"
Yaoyao's eyelids moved and she opened her eyes. Although she was confused, she nodded awkwardly.
Old Mrs. Liu looked worried. She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse that her precious granddaughter had this ability.
There were five fish in the bucket, each weighing almost ten pounds, and they could not be eaten all in a short time. So Old Lady Liu asked the eldest and third daughters-in-law to go to the river to kill two fish and make fish soup.
Grass carp is fat and has a layer of fish oil in its belly, so you don’t need to add oil. Just put the fish meat in a pan and fry it slowly over low heat. The fish meat will sizzle and emit oil.
Today, the third daughter-in-law was particularly hardworking. She killed the fish and made the fire. She drooled around the iron pot and her eyes were almost staring through the bottom of the pot.
Yaoyao was fed by Shen Chulan, who secretly put spiritual spring water into the pot.
At noon, the Yuan family drank the delicious and sweet fish soup and made satisfied sounds.
The rice was not even cooked, and the more than ten people in the Yuan family were full just by eating the fish and soup.
After dinner, the Yuan family packed up their things and prepared to continue on their journey.
A thin woman came forward with a baby and a bowl to ask for milk.
Before Old Lady Liu could say anything, the third daughter-in-law was the first to disagree. She jumped up and pointed at the woman and cursed, "No, I don't have enough to drink at home, why should I give it to you!"
The thin woman pleaded, "Please, have mercy on my child. He has only been drinking porridge these days. If he doesn't drink some milk, he will die!"
The third daughter-in-law spat on the ground and said without restraint, "That's your child, what does it have to do with me? If a newborn baby dies, then it dies. It won't waste food..."
