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

Shen Shuli had already surveyed the road.

No one else went up the mountain after them, so the group was safe for the time being.

But Shen Shuli didn't expect that it would take the team half a day to walk ten miles.

It's time for lunch.

It's not appropriate to keep bothering them.

At this rate, it'll probably be dark by the time they get back.

Shen Shuli could only lead the group back via an easy route.

By the time they returned to camp, the team had already left.

Li Dazhu and Wu Shuanzi stayed where they were and brought them food.

"Ali, you're back? Come on, this is food your parents left for you. Eat quickly, it's getting cold."

Li Dazhu divided the food among the families and quickly called the children to eat.

"Thank you, Uncle Dazhu," Shen Shuli and the others said immediately.

It's already 3 PM, and everyone's starving.

"Dad, how far have we all gone?" Wu Liangliang asked Wu Shuanzi.

“We’ve already traveled more than twenty miles. You know what, your Uncle Hai’s method is indeed more efficient for traveling,” Wu Shuanzi said, patting his son’s head.

"By the way, Ali, your father asked me to tell you that if there's nothing unusual behind you, you don't need to do any reconnaissance this afternoon. Just hurry on your way."

"it is good."

Shen Shuli also decided not to continue.

The team members were too small and weak; they were already exhausted.

Everyone has scratches and cuts; we need to go back and get them treated quickly to avoid any accidents.

After everyone had eaten, Shen Shuli told them to rest for half an hour before leading them to catch up with the main group.

Along the way, Shen Shuli couldn't resist letting everyone do a little exercise, having the nine of them learn to regulate their breathing and jog slowly.

By the time they caught up, the main force was already setting up camp.

Shen Shuli told her team members to go back and rest so they could properly treat their injuries.

Su Yunhai was still busy.

After dinner, he organized two teams.

One team continued to clear the way, while the other team blocked the path from behind.

This way, once it gets light, the main force can set off directly, avoiding wasting time.

It will take another day to get around this mountain.

The main force has now entered the deep mountain area.

As soon as darkness fell, the faint roars of wild beasts could be heard from deep in the mountains.

Many villagers couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Village chief, we've entered deep into the mountains. Wild animals could appear at any time."

“Wild animals are always afraid of fire, so why don’t you take some people and light a few more fires around the camp?” Shen Shuli suggested to the village chief.

After listening to his grandchildren recount their day, the village chief is growing increasingly fond of the girl.

At such a young age, he is so methodical in his actions and so resilient and unpretentious.

She doesn't seem like a pampered young lady raised in a wealthy family like the Lin family since childhood.

"Okay, that's easy." The village chief agreed with a smile and told his son to take some people to do it.

Shen Shuli glanced at Li Qinghe, who had changed her clothes and freshened up, and a smile curved her lips.

She praised her, saying, "Village Chief, you have raised Qinghe very well. She is not only lively and kind, but also very resilient and persevering. I never thought she could grit her teeth and persevere."

Upon hearing this, the village chief grinned from ear to ear, his wrinkles deepening around his eyes.

"Oh, not at all. I just raised her casually. She's good at growing up on her own, she doesn't need any teaching."

Li Qinghe sat next to the village chief, resting her chin on her hands as she watched the two talk.

Upon hearing Shen Shuli mention her, and even praise her, her cheeks instantly turned red. She gave Shen Shuli a coquettish huff and ran away.

"Hehe, this little girl is shy." The old village chief stroked his beard, his eyes full of doting affection as he looked at his granddaughter.

"By the way, village chief, I don't want Su Mancang. He's too slippery, and I don't want to waste my time teaching other people's children. Let's not let him come tomorrow. Nine people are fine enough."

Village Chief Li wasn't surprised. His grandchildren had also mentioned it, saying they disliked Su Mancang very much.

It is clear that the problem lies with Su Mancang.

Don't corrupt his children.

"Okay, I'll tell Dashan later."

Shen Yuehua has already prepared her sleeping place.

Shen Shuli lay on the ground, her head resting on her hands, looking at the bright stars in the sky.

She felt sorry for her father who hadn't come back.

He would clear the way during the day, and even after it was completely dark, he was still clearing the way outside.

Is it that no one else can do this job without him?

Listening to her daughter's dissatisfied grumbling, Shen Yuehua could only sigh, her eyes filled with worry.

“Your father is in a hurry to get on the road. He’s worried about the dangers on the mountain. Just hold on for one more day.”

"Oh, Mother, I haven't taken a bath for three days, and my hair is all greasy. There's not a drop of water in these mountains, when are we going to be able to take a proper bath?"

Seeing that her mother was also in a bad mood, Shen Shuli quickly changed the subject.

“We brought a cartload of water, but it’s only enough for food and drink. We don’t know how long we’ll have to walk this famine route, or when we’ll be able to get more water. If others see us taking a bath, people from those families who are short of water will definitely come to us to borrow water, which will cause a lot of trouble. Let’s wait until we get down the mountain to find another opportunity,” Shen Yuehua comforted her.

"Yes, Mother, I have several tons of water stored in my spatial storage, but it's not easy to take it out," Shen Shuli said.

"There's nothing we can do about it; that's just how communal living is. We never know how many eyes are watching us in the dark."

The mother and daughter were talking when a voice interrupted them.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Please give me something to eat. I'm about to faint from hunger."

Su Ping'an's sleeping area was more than three meters away from Shen Shuli's.

He was so hungry he couldn't sleep. Seeing that Shen Yuehua was still awake, he quickly got up and asked his mother for food.

Yesterday, Su Chang'an protested that he was fined and not given food for not pulling the cart.

As a result, the guy stubbornly refused to pull the cart the next day, and Shen Yuehua naturally wouldn't give him any food.

If Li Jiao'e hadn't secretly saved a bite for Su Chang'an at every meal, he would have surrendered long ago.

But he was a young man in his twenties, the age when he could eat a lot. How could he possibly eat only one coarse flour bun a day?

Shen Yuehua wouldn't let herself be the bad guy, so she directly told the eldest brother, "Go talk to your father. I'll listen to my man. You can only eat when he agrees to let you eat."

"Ah! Mother! Isn't my father the one who listens to you the most? As long as you speak up, how could he disagree! Besides, isn't my father away? By the time he comes back, my son will be starving to death!" Su Chang'an started to throw a tantrum.

Don't let Su Chang'an's status as a scholar fool you.

Before Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua arrived.

Su Dahai's three sons were all reckless street thugs.

They idled away their days doing nothing, never helping with any housework, and the three brothers would run to the city every day dreaming of getting rich.

He hung out with the city thugs, spending his days stealing chickens and dogs and doing nothing good.

Su Yunhai beat him severely, almost to the point of killing him.

Since he's not his biological son, he doesn't feel any remorse when he beats him.

The three brothers were afraid of Su Yunhai.
