Traveling Through Farmhouses: Taking the Baby on a Famine Escape

Zhou Dashan chatted with the Zhang family for a few minutes before heading back to his own camp.

"Since your wife is alright, we'll head back now!"

"Brother, sister-in-law, please take care!"

After everyone left, the Zhang family members all looked Zhang Xixi up and down.

"Daughter, are you really alright?!"

"Little sister, are you alright?"

"Next time I encounter this situation, I'll call my second brother, and he'll teach that old woman a lesson."

Madam Chen glanced at her second son and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

“Mother, it should be like this.” Zhang Wenhong swallowed his words as soon as he received a stern look from his mother.

"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, I'm fine. You all go back and eat first!"

"You all go back first, I have something to say to my daughter." Chen gave Zhang Wenbo a meaningful look.

"Dad, let's go!" Zhang Wenbo wondered if his mother had also discovered it. He wanted to find an opportunity to question his younger sister more carefully.

Mrs. Chen tapped Zhang Xixi's forehead. Her daughter was still too weak; she hadn't learned anything from what she was taught!

"Zhang Xixi, can't you stand up for yourself? You just let people bully you like this."

"Mother, I'm not good with words, do you want me to cry and scream like that old woman, throwing a tantrum!"

Mrs. Chen imagined her daughter throwing a tantrum, then shook her head. It was too much to bear. Oh well, it's better for her daughter to stay this way!

"Mom, don't worry! I know what I'm doing, I won't let anyone bully me." Zhang Xixi felt she should buy a strength-boosting pill, as she was too weak to fight.

"By the way, Mother, did you want to ask about the shoes?"

Seeing her daughter's expression, Chen wondered if her daughter already knew. She nodded, "Yes."

"Mom, do you feel that walking is easy today and you don't feel tired at all?"

Chen looked puzzled. "Daughter, don't you find it strange?"

Zhang Xixi shook her head. "It's not surprising. I'm like that myself!"

Chen suddenly realized, "Could this also be given by that immortal?"

Zhang Xixi nodded.

"Then why did you lie to me about it being under my mother-in-law's bed? Zhang Xixi, when did you become such a liar?!"

Seeing Chen's sullen expression, Zhang Xixi quickly explained, "Mother, I was just afraid you'd overthink it!"

"Mom, don't be angry, or you won't look good!"

Chen rolled her eyes at Zhang Xixi, "How old are you? Still talking about whether it looks good or not? I don't have your thick skin."

Zhang Xixi touched her nose; the old lady was hard to coax!

Mrs. Chen knew in her heart that her daughter was doing it for their own good, but she always felt uneasy about her daughter lying to her. Sigh!

“Daughter, don’t take out such a magical thing so easily again. There are many smart people in this world. If you’re not careful, someone will find out and bring you to your death. Our family is small and we are afraid we won’t be able to protect you then.”

Seeing her mother's serious expression, Zhang Xixi solemnly replied, "I understand, Mother. I will be more careful in the future."

"It's getting late, let's go and rest!" Chen thought she would go back and remind the eldest son, and the others could pretend they didn't know.

"Mom, I want to take a bath, I stink!"

"Call your two sisters-in-law, let's go together."

"it is good!"

The next day, while Zhang Xixi was still asleep, she heard a sound in her ear. Thinking it was a dream, she turned over and continued to sleep.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak"

It rang again after only a few minutes. Can't a person get any sleep?!

Seeing that the human still didn't move, the golden monkey king squatting next to her reached out his furry hand, grabbed Zhang Xixi's hand, and shook it.

"Ding! Rare treasure detected. Host, would you like to sign in?"

"Sign in," Zhang Xixi muttered softly.

"This damn system is going to take me to the heavens; it won't even leave me alone in my dreams."

"Congratulations, host, on successfully checking in! Reward: 5000 Luck Points!"

Could it be true? Zhang Xixi sat up groggily, her hand still being held. Could it be her mother? She had just opened her eyes when she was startled by the golden head in front of her and fell backward.

Damn! What the hell is this?! Zhang Xixi's mind instantly cleared up.

Monkey King: Could it be that you've been bewitched by my beauty? You have good taste!

Zhang Xixi sat up again, looking at the animal in front of her with long golden fur and a pointed snout and monkey-like cheeks. This must be a monkey! There was no one around, her mother and the others must have gone to make breakfast.

Seeing that the human hadn't spoken for a while, the golden monkey handed the bamboo tube in its hand to Zhang Xixi.

Zhang Xixi looked at the bamboo tube; not a single drop of the spiritual spring water was left. So that's what attracted the monkey! Zhang Xixi waved her hand to indicate that there was none left. She was very poor and didn't want to do a losing business. She hadn't even settled accounts with the monkey for stealing her water yet!

Seeing that Zhang Xixi didn't want to give it to him, the golden monkey got angry and kept squeaking, gesturing with its furry hands.

Zhang Xixi watched it gesturing wildly for a while, but she didn't understand it; she didn't know animal language.

"System, can you translate this?"

"This function is not available in the system!"

System: This system isn't a monkey; it can't speak monkey language.

Zhang Xixi shrugged, there was nothing she could do. The golden monkey seemed to suddenly remember something and ran out of the tent.

Golden Monkey: This human is so stupid!

"Xixi, get up quickly, let's have breakfast here today!"

"Okay, I'll be right there." Zhang Xixi agreed, but since she was married and often brought her family to eat and drink at her parents' house, her two sisters-in-law would definitely have objections after a while. It should be okay once in a while.

Just as Zhang Xixi finished breakfast and was about to take Xiao Jin for a walk, the monkey came again. This time, it even brought several of its henchmen and brazenly walked towards Zhang Xixi. Strangely, the villagers were neither afraid nor chased it away.

The monkey's henchmen placed the fruit they were holding in front of Zhang Xixi. The monkey waved its hand, and the monkeys went into the woods.

Seeing her mother lost in thought, Erbao reminded her, "Mom, quickly say thank you! Thank you for the gift from the Monkey King."

"Erbao, aren't you surprised at all?"

Erbao asked in confusion, "What's so surprising? You mean the Monkey King? People in our village often receive gifts from the Monkey King, it's nothing unusual."

Okay! She's just ignorant!

Although it wasn't unusual, the villagers were still curious about what the monkey had brought this time. Zhang Xixi looked at the grapes, bananas, and apples on the ground and swallowed hard. She really wanted to eat them! But seeing the children, including the two Bao, drooling over the pile of fruit, she had no choice but to resist.

"Dabao, Erbao, call your friends over for some fruit!" Although my heart was bleeding, I couldn't break character. I'm a mother now, and I have to resist the temptation.

But those big, red apples and dark purple grapes—just by looking at them, you know they must taste delicious! Mmm!

Forget it, out of sight, out of mind. I'd better try to communicate with this monkey first!
