A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

Shen Yuehua couldn't help but lose her temper with Su Yunhai.

"Old Su, you're being so irresponsible! How could you let your daughter go into the mountains alone? Don't you know how dangerous it is there?"

"If anything happens to my daughter, I'll make you a sacrifice!"

"Why hasn't my daughter come back yet? What are you still doing here? Go find my daughter right now!"

Shen Yuehua's voice was not quiet.

Many villagers heard it.

These past two days, everyone has received a lot of protection from the Su family, and they cannot feel at ease not giving anything in return.

A few people who had calmed down gathered around in twos and threes, asking them questions with concern.

"Scholar Su, why don't we go in and look for her together? It's already this late, and we can't see anything in the mountains. What if that girl gets lost?"

"Exactly, Brother Hai, how could you let that girl go into the deep mountains and forests alone?"

"Stop talking, let's go inside and look for it."

As everyone was chattering, Shen Shuli's petite figure darted out from the woods.

Su Yunhai ignored these people, his gaze fixed on the pitch-black jungle.

The moment Shen Shuli appeared, he was instantly launched like a ball.

"My dear daughter, you're back!"

Su Yunhai finally breathed a sigh of relief, took a deep breath, and looked his daughter up and down to make sure she was safe and sound.

"I'm back, Dad. I've found a place where everyone can rest," Shen Shuli said quickly, seeing how worried her father was.

"Yes, well done! The family has prepared some food, go and eat something to recover," Su Yunhai urged.

When Shen Yuehua saw her daughter return, she quickly walked over and subtly sized her up.

Seeing that she was not injured, he glared at his daughter fiercely, then pulled her towards his own convoy.

Seeing that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were both there, Li Jiao'e immediately went over to fawn over them, quickly serving them a bowl of stewed meat porridge.

"Little sister, it must be hard for you to go into the mountains alone to find a place for everyone to rest, regardless of your reputation. You must be starving. I've been keeping your porridge warm. Eat up."

Su Chang'an glared at his wife with displeasure, then pulled her aside and muttered something under his breath.

"Why are you being so attentive to her? She's obviously a scheming person. She's doing all this to attract our attention. She's just a vain little person full of ulterior motives."

He's been pulling the cart all day and is exhausted.

If we hadn't fled the famine, things wouldn't have been so hard.

He hadn't worked this hard in almost ten years since his father started forcing him to study for the imperial examinations.

For years, his hands have been used for writing.

In just one day, he had worn both hands raw and bloody from pulling the oxcart, all because of this woman.

Seeing her husband's strong dislike for his sister-in-law, Li Jiao'e couldn't help but smirk.

Since my sister-in-law returned home, the conflicts in the family have intensified.

In the past, the three brothers of my father-in-law got along fairly well.

As the eldest daughter-in-law and sister-in-law of the second wife, she held a fairly good position in the family. Her mother-in-law would tell her about any good things the family had, and even give her some nice things herself.

My sister-in-law must have brought a lot of nice things back this time, but I didn't see her, as the eldest sister-in-law, receiving a single one.

She found out that her sister-in-law had even given each of the two maids in the third wife's household a generous gift!

She, as the sister-in-law, has nothing!

Isn't this looking down on her?

She really couldn't understand it. Before, when Wanwan was at home, her mother-in-law was very good to her, but not so good that she completely listened to her.

But this younger sister-in-law, who was raised by another family since she was a child, has only been back for a day or two.

The mother and daughter were so close, as if they had known each other for over a decade, that she couldn't even get a word in edgewise.

Not to mention getting a bargain!

Furthermore, looking at the entire village, besides the younger sister-in-law, who else participated in killing the bandits?

Such a ruthless woman, yet her in-laws still cherish her like a precious gem.

I really don't know what they were thinking!

Su Chang'an continued to speak ill of Shen Shuli, and the more he said, the happier Li Jiao'e became, even secretly making a few disparaging remarks.

Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai, a married couple, both understood the unspoken meaning in Li Jiao'e's words.

This is a satire of Shen Shuli for disregarding her innocence and wandering alone in the deep mountains, possibly seducing men!

But seeing that the villagers hadn't reacted yet, the couple didn't want to escalate the situation and steer the villagers' thoughts in that direction.

I can only suppress my temper for now.

Shen Shuli looked at Li Jiao'e with a half-smile, but did not take the bowl of rice.

She wouldn't dare drink the food offered to her by someone who harbored ill intentions towards her!

Shen Shuli took advantage of the fact that no one was around to drink a cup of her daily dose of spiritual spring water.

Most of the day's fatigue was gone.

"I've given it to you, drink it yourself." After saying that, Shen Shuli left without paying attention to Li Jiao'e's ugly expression.

Knowing this place wasn't suitable for resting, the villagers packed up their pots and pans early, ready to continue their journey.

Shen Shuli quickly finished eating and then led the way for everyone.

One by one, the torches that had been prepared in advance were lit.

It illuminated a small corner of the world for the villagers.

After another 15 minutes of difficult walking, they finally arrived at the location chosen by Shen Shuli.

This area is relatively flat.

However, there were still many trees as thick as an arm growing on the ground, but fortunately these trees were spaced far apart.

After a little cleaning, you can sleep on the floor and rest.

It's already past 11 PM, the end of Hai hour.

It was well past the villagers' usual bedtime.

Without anyone urging them, everyone quickly cleaned the ground and made beds to rest.

Su Yunhai specially bought a carriage, which could barely fit his four women and one child.

Su Yunhai and his three sons slept on the floor outside.

You can sleep on an oilcloth laid on the ground, and then put a mattress on top of it.

Those families who didn't have oilcloth mattresses could simply cut some dry grass nearby and lay it out as a makeshift solution.

The drought lasted for eight or nine months without rain.

The temperature wasn't low at night, and you wouldn't feel cold even without a blanket.

The only thing that's unbearable is the constant harassment from mosquitoes and other insects in the mountains.

In the quiet mountain forest, the sky is dotted with stars.

Every now and then you can hear the sound of swatting mosquitoes.

Doctor Zhang from Peach Blossom Village brought a lot of medicinal herbs, which was his livelihood; he couldn't do without herbs.

In particular, they brought plenty of commonly used mosquito repellent herbs and realgar powder.

Seeing that business was coming in, he immediately started shouting out his wares.

"A pack of mosquito repellent sachets costs five cents. Families with children or elderly people can buy some to avoid mosquito bites and prevent rats, insects, snakes, and ants from getting close so they can sleep peacefully."

"Affordable price, large quantity, great value, limited stock, first come first served!"

In the quiet of the night, Dr. Zhang's voice was soft, but those who were still awake could hear it clearly.

"Those who are short of money can also exchange various supplies."

As soon as Dr. Zhang finished speaking, almost instantly people rushed over to buy.

"Dr. Zhang, please give me two packets quickly, my child and I are almost bitten to death."

"Give me one pack to try first. If it works well, I'll buy it for the whole family."

"I don't have much money. Can I trade you some wild vegetables?"

"I'll trade you three pounds of potatoes for one."

Shen Shuli was also extremely annoyed by the mosquitoes.

She has been using the spiritual spring water every day recently, and her flesh and blood are purer and sweeter than ordinary people.

The downside is that it attracts a lot of mosquitoes, rodents, and ants.

Mosquitoes, in particular, love her blood.

Not only Shen Shuli was bothered by mosquitoes.

Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua, who were also beneficiaries of the spiritual spring, were also targeted by mosquitoes.

After discovering this, the whole family moved away from the three people.

To avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, Zhang Lanhua, who was originally in the same car as Shen Shuli, had to get out of the car to avoid them.

Helpless, Shen Shuli had no choice but to get out of the carriage and make room for the others.

Otherwise, would she allow Zhang Lanhua, a pregnant woman, to go outside?
