Chapter 149 Stopping
The second day of November
Because it has not eaten good forage for a long time, the mule has lost weight. Even though most of the food in the cart has been consumed and the weight is far less than before, it is still very difficult for the mule to pull the cart.
Afraid of delaying the process, Shen Miaomiao and Xiao He no longer sat in the car, but walked beside the mule cart to Yancheng on foot every day.
They left the mountains and forests three days ago, and now they mingled with the refugees on the official road.
The refugees who have been able to survive until now either have some skills or have brought their own belongings. Now they are rushing on their own way, which seems safer.
"Sister Miaomiao, can you do it?"
Xiao He saw Shen Miaomiao's steps starting to stagger a little, and frowned slightly and asked.
I asked him to tell me that there was actually no need to be in such a hurry. It would be better to go slower, otherwise the three of them might not be able to bear it.
"It's okay, keep walking."
The little girl bit her lip to endure the pain in her lower abdomen.
She inquired with an aunt yesterday. According to their speed, they would only need to walk for about twenty days to reach Yancheng.
Now the mule is getting slower and slower. If I go to the car and slow down again, it will be a problem whether I can reach Yancheng before the twelfth lunar month.
Nanzhi in the car didn't feel very comfortable holding Shen Zhiyu in his arms.
Zhiyu has lost a lot of weight in the past month or so, and now she feels a little clumsy when holding him.
Not to mention her serious illness, she now looks no different than a bamboo pole.
"Zhiyu, just sleep for a while."
The little guy nodded and fell asleep again.
Nanzhi sighed slightly and looked at the bean sprouts in the wooden basin beside him and cheered up again.
She has started to accumulate food in her stomach after being deprived of fresh vegetables for a long time. She just needs to wait for two more days for the bean sprouts to sprout.
Who would have thought that the soybeans given by the young boy at the grain store would come in handy now?
The refugees were extremely harmonious, going their own way and not willing to communicate with others.
Brothers Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng looked at the refugees walking hurriedly on the official road and looked at each other, then nodded and returned to Bazi.
"Dad, grandma, there is the official road ahead. It looks fine."
"Then let's take the official road right now?"
Father Lin spoke and looked at the Shen family.
Aunt Guihua was so thin now that she said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go."
Having made up their minds, the two families hurried on again.
It has been more than 20 days, I wonder how they are doing now...
Thinking of Nanzhi and the others, Mother Lin felt a sharp pain in her heart. It had been so many days, but if something happened to them, why was there no news at all?
Seeing that his mother-in-law was worried about her sister again, Lin Ercheng leaned over and comforted her in a low voice: "Mom, don't worry, Fatty and the others will be fine. Maybe they will be walking in front of us, as long as we follow the official regulations If you walk along the road, you will definitely encounter someone."
"That's right, grandma, don't worry about it."
Lin Yicheng helped.
Mother Lin only forced a smile and nodded, and continued on her way.
Even though everyone is comforting each other, they all know exactly what the situation is.
In such a world, the chances of the two of them surviving with their jade are extremely small...
When they got on the official road, three cars were lined up in front of each other. The refugees on the road also dispersed and moved out of the way without looking at them. This made both families sigh in relief.
After walking for a while, Lin Yicheng saw that the family of four next to him looked friendly, so he walked over to them.
The man from that family saw Lin Yicheng approaching him and subconsciously pushed the cart to the side.
"Brother, I just want to get some news." Lin Yicheng quickly waved his hand to explain his purpose.
"What are you asking about?"
Seeing that he didn't have anything on him, the man's expression became better, and he just looked at him and continued pushing the cart on his way.
"Is this the way to Yancheng?" Lin Yicheng said and pointed ahead.
"Yeah, you guys came here without even knowing the way?"
The man frowned and looked at Lin Yicheng with a strange look.
He dragged his whole family there without even knowing the road. Could it be that he was pretending to be a bandit?
Thinking of this, the man immediately shut up, pushed the cart with his wife, children and children, and hurried away without paying any attention to them.
Lin Yicheng was stunned, a little confused.
I was just asking for directions, so I shouldn’t need to be so vigilant, right?
Seeing her son's silly look, Mother Lin spotted a woman about her own age. She walked over and said with a smile, "Sister, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Before the woman could react, the sweet potato in Mother Lin's hand had already entered her hand.
Feeling that something was stuffed in her hand, the woman reacted and shouted: "Sister, what a coincidence."
Mother Lin smiled and retracted her hand, then lowered her voice a little: "Sister, I want to ask you something."
The woman secretly hid the sweet potatoes in the baggage and said with a smile: "Sister, that's all you say."
"Have you ever seen a mule cart? It has a shed like ours, and the driver is a skinny little boy."
After hearing Mother Lin's description, the woman thought for a moment and her eyes lit up: "We met, but the mule cart was going fast, and the man driving the cart was handsome, but he looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the man driving the cart was quite handsome. Very stable.”
Listening to her words, Mother Lin hesitated a little. She looked at Aunt Guihua, who had just come over, and finally said thank you and returned to the motorcade.
"Is it possible that she is talking about Miaomiao?" Mother Lin was the first to speak. After all, Shen Miaomiao was only sixteen years old, so maybe she would be a good boy.
"It's not like that. Miaomiao and Nanzhi are both smart. They must have painted their faces if we weren't here."
Since everyone’s face is painted, who is the handsome young boy?
Could it be that something happened to Nanzhi and Miaomiao, and that the mule cart was robbed?
When they thought about this, the Lin family and the Shen family could not sit still, so they only accelerated their pace.
There is no problem for a few men to walk these roads. Although it is more difficult for the women, Nanzhi bought new shoes for everyone in the family before and now they are comfortable to wear. Although the Shen family is not so completely prepared, they are still ready. He said nothing and just followed the Lin family.
When they stopped to eat at night, Nanzhi noticed something was wrong with Shen Miaomiao.
The little girl's lips were pale, and she looked as if she was about to collapse. Seeing that she was holding her stomach, Nanzhi made a guess.
It seems that the little girl's sunflower water has arrived...
Thinking that she had walked all the way today, Nanzhi couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so he just silently boiled some hot water for her to drink.
Menstruation was troublesome for women in ancient times, not to mention that they were still on the road to escape. For a while, both of them had no idea. In the end, they just decided to rest here for a day and let Shen Miaomiao wait for the first two days to pass. Get on, switch to Nanzhi and follow beside the car.
