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

It only took Shen Shuli and her nine companions half an hour to rejoin the main group on their way back.

Upon hearing that there was a water source in the county town ahead, the villagers quickened their pace.

Although they were mentally prepared, everyone was still taken aback by the chaos in the city.

Even before the northern barbarians have invaded, the people in the city have already started to panic.

How could such a dynasty resist foreign invasion?

The villagers of Peach Blossom Village walked along the chaotic streets of the city with heavy hearts.

Shen Shuli has already chosen a place for the villagers to rest.

It was in one of the few empty houses near a well in the south of the city.

Shen Shuli and her men dispersed the surrounding mob and the disaster victims who were trying to seize the food.

"Father, two deep wells nearby have been seized by two large groups of rioters. They have to pay a high price in silver or grain to get a bucket of water."

“I observed that many of the people who could afford to exchange grain and silver for water were secretly robbed and killed by those rioters, or forced to join them.”

“These rioters are just fishing with water,” Shen Shuli said with a dark look in her eyes.

Shen Shuli's voice was loud enough that the surrounding villagers could hear it clearly.

The villagers were filled with lingering fear.

Fortunately, they followed the Su family; if they had relied on themselves alone, they probably wouldn't have been able to leave Qingzhou City.

Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with anger and helplessness.

What angers us is the despicable behavior of these mobs, and what frustrates us is the injustice the world inflicts on ordinary people.

"Have you thought of a solution?" Su Yunhai asked with interest, seeing his daughter's calm demeanor.

Shen Shuli grinned. "Nothing more than violence."

Su Yunhai rolled his eyes and said irritably, "I thought you had some perfect solution, but it turns out you're still resorting to force."

"Yeah, violence is the most effective way to fight violence."

Shen Yuehua couldn't help but touch her daughter's head, which was covered in oil. She then wiped her hands with her clothes in disgust.

She advised, "Daughter, you must remember that you are a girl. Don't think about fighting and killing all the time. Let your father do these dirty and tiring jobs."

"After you get some water, wash yourself properly. Your hair is so oily it's practically dripping."

Shen Shuli knew that her mother was just saying it, but she didn't dislike her at all.

It was all said to the villagers.

"Hehe, Mother should also take a good bath," Shen Shuli said with a grin.

Li Jiao'e, who was listening nearby, was somewhat tempted and quickly came over to look at Shen Yuehua and said.

"Mom, I'm dirty too. You said you'd buy me new clothes once we got to the city. When are you going to get me new clothes? I'll wash myself clean and change into new clothes soon."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lanhua looked at Shen Yuehua with hopeful eyes, showing that she was also interested and wanted to take a bath and change into new clothes.

Shen Yuehua didn't even bother to look at Li Jiao'e, and turned to yell at Su Chang'an.

“苏长安！”

Upon hearing his mother's angry roar, Su Chang'an knew that she had been provoked again, so he immediately ran over and pulled Li Jiao'e away.

Li Jiao'e was so angry that she flung Su Chang'an's hand away and couldn't help but throw a tantrum.

"Su Chang'an, what does your mother mean by this! Don't I even have the right to take a bath and change into new clothes at home?"

"Also, your mother clearly said she would give me new clothes once we got to the city. Is she going back on her word and playing with me?"

Su Chang'an stared intently at Li Jiao'e, his face darkening as he said, "Li Jiao'e, you weren't even awake when my mother said that, were you? How did you know?"

Li Jiao'e was speechless when asked the question.

She then remembered this and, feeling somewhat guilty, avoided Su Chang'an's gaze.

Shen Yuehua was speechless at the couple's behavior and had long lost her patience, too lazy to listen to their arguments.

"You two go argue somewhere else, don't embarrass yourselves in front of me."

Su Chang'an immediately pulled Li Jiao'e away from her parents, not wanting to upset them.

Shen Yuehua glanced at her daughter's clothes, which were soaked with sweat time and time again, and felt heartbroken.

“Daughter, leave the water-making to your father. You take some people to the cloth shop and see if you can find some clean clothes.”

Shen Shuli understood the implication in her mother's eyes, knowing that her mother wanted her to take the opportunity to take out some clothes from her space.

"Dad, are you sure you can do it?" Shen Shuli asked with some worry.

Su Yunhai tilted his head back and looked at his daughter with pride, "Don't worry, leave those rioters to your father."

Seeing this, Shen Shuli waved her hand and said, "Alright, I'll be going now."

"Remember to bring your people with you, don't wander off alone," Su Yunhai quickly reminded him.

"I know dad."

Shen Shuli continued to bring the eight people from the morning, and specially brought along two girls, Shen Ziyu and Li Qinghe.

When Shen Zishi saw that Shen Shuli would rather take her cousin than her, she started making a fuss with her parents again.

Shen Shuli vaguely heard it, but ignored it and quickened her pace to leave with her people.

"Sister A-Li, where are we going?" Shen Ziyu asked Shen Shuli with bright eyes.

She was thrilled that her cousin would take her on a mission.

"Let's go find some clothing stores and fabric shops to see if we can find some clean clothes or fabric for everyone."

"Ah, that's great! I've been wearing these clothes for days, they're practically pickled!" Shen Ziyu perked up even more upon hearing this.

Li Qinghe was captured by soldiers in Qingzhou, and he still has some lingering psychological trauma.

He was following closely behind Shen Shuli, one hand gently tugging at the hem of her dress.

Shen Shuli could sense that Li Qinghe was a little nervous, so she took Li Qinghe's and Shen Ziyu's hands and tried to distract Li Qinghe by talking about things along the way.

"Qinghe, I heard you're good at needlework. If you can't find any suitable clothes, could you make me a few when you have some free time?" Shen Shuli said.

Li Qinghe's attention was indeed diverted, and she smiled and nodded at Shen Shuli.

"No problem, but I don't know if we can find clothes or fabric in those shops."

It was clear from the situation in Yamaoka Prefecture that the people had long since abandoned the city and fled.

Many shops were vandalized and left in a terrible state.

Fabric and clothing were definitely valuable items for ordinary people, and poor people certainly wouldn't want to miss out on them.

Shen Shuli didn't respond, but simply nodded in agreement.

Anyway, she has a lot of different kinds of fabric in her space, and she will find an opportunity to take some out.

Shen Shuli led Shen Ziyu and Li Qinghe in one group, while Shen Ziqian led the others to search separately.

I visited several fabric shops and clothing stores, but almost all the ready-made clothes in the shops had been snapped up.

The shelves for storing fabrics were almost all empty.

They only found a few pieces of clothing for teenagers and scraps of fabric, but Shen Ziyu and Li Qinghe didn't miss them and packed them all up.

"There's another courtyard behind it, let's split up and look for it."

"Okay, be careful."

Shen Shuli sent the two away and went into a side room by herself.
