Chapter 24. 24. Kindness
Holding the food handed over by the young man, Li Su felt a little at a loss for a while, and looked at the old man.

I thought it would be a cornbread or a handful of coarse grains at most, but I didn't expect this young man to bring so much, especially wild duck eggs, which are nutritious and can nourish the body!
Old man Li also felt that he gave too much, but he really couldn't refuse to accept it. The main reason was that they consumed too much food along the way, and the food was getting less and less.

In fact, old man Li was really worried, but he couldn't say anything. He only hoped that the situation would improve when they passed through the next village, so that they could replenish some food and water.

Old man Li nodded at his old wife, and immediately took out two pairs of straw sandals from the side of the mule cart he was walking on, and handed them to the young man.

"Little brother is generous, I accept this love from the old man, and we have the cheek to accept the things. You accept these two pairs of straw sandals. If the straw sandals are worthless, you can come and get them if they break down. And little brother, if you need help in the future, just feel free Open up, our family has nothing else but a lot of labor." Old man Li thought for a while and said, exuding kindness towards Gu Lan.

"You're welcome, old man. Straw sandals may be nothing to the old man's family? They are of great help to me, and from time to time, the value of anything at a specific time will be different. In short, thank you. I will appreciate these I have the shame to accept it, and I don’t have much to eat, so the old man can accept it at ease." Gu Lan said seriously.

These straw sandals are indeed worthless here. If they were placed in modern times, they would belong to the series of handmade crafts. With the word handmade, the price can be imagined. How can two pancakes be exchanged?
Speaking of which, she took advantage of it. If the shoes under her feet really fell apart, she would definitely be greatly affected without shoes, and it would take more time.

"father……"

As soon as Gu Lan's voice fell, An'an's voice came over. Gu Lan looked at his son with a comforting smile, nodded at Old Man Li and they returned to the resting tree.

"Father, what's going on?" Although Li Da understood a little, he couldn't help but ask his father.

"That's what you saw. Now that you're all awake, pack up and get ready to go." Old man Li looked at the sky and didn't want to say more, urging his sons to pack up.

The old man spoke, and the Li brothers didn't dare to say anything more. They packed up quickly, but there was nothing to clean up. Most of the things were put on the car and they were not unloaded at all. The things that were taken down were small things.

Gulan's speed was faster, and they didn't have much stuff. Apart from putting the package in the back basket, there was nothing to pack.

I fed my son another sip of water. Once I was on my way, I might not have a chance to drink water.

The appearance of the father and son drinking water was clearly seen by the opposite family, and envy flashed in their eyes.

Not only that, there was also a group of people resting around them, and they all looked at the father and son enviously, not daring to take a sip of water.

Soon people who were resting stood up one after another and joined the team that continued on the road, which meandered for several miles.

Gulan ate and rested well. Even with An An, her speed was not slow. Many people were gradually left behind by her, and they belonged to the forefront of the team.

To be honest, Gu Lan misses the old car series very much whenever she is on the road, and sometimes she can't help but want to be irritable when she is so patient.

Unknowingly, more than an hour has passed. Gulan didn't know how far she had walked. She was almost numb while walking with her son in her arms. She walked forward mechanically, hoping to be lucky enough to meet him before the night fell. Village or something.

In fact, this is not her wish alone, everyone on this road wishes so.

Under the scorching sun, many people could hardly walk even with sticks.

Hungry and thirsty, my throat felt like it was on fire, and I relied on perseverance to support me, fearing that if I fell behind, I would never be able to keep up.

"Brother Gu, Brother Gu..."

Gu Lan heard someone shouting, but she didn't put herself on her body. After all, she didn't have any acquaintances here except her son and Dahei.

"Brother Gu..." The voice was still shouting, and then Gu Lan, who felt someone approaching, was slightly sideways, avoiding the big hand that was about to slap her on the shoulder, and the sharpness in his eyes flashed past. For a moment, I didn't expect it to be him.

Li Da glanced at his slapped hands, wondering if it was his illusion that Brother Gu was quick to react, but he quickly forgot about it.

"It's Brother Li. I didn't expect us to meet again. I'm sorry I was on my way and didn't pay attention. I didn't know it was you." Gu Lan smiled apologetically.

"It's okay." Li Da also smiled.

"I don't know what happened to Brother Li?"

"It's like this. My mother saw that you had a hard time traveling with a child in your arms. You know that my family has a mule cart, which is still a little empty. Brother, if you don't mind, you can let the child take a ride, and you can save it a bit. "

For the sake of the previous few pancakes, Li Da expressed his kindness.

Gu Lan was quite surprised. She didn't expect Brother Li to stop her because of this matter.

Glancing at the mule cart not far away, apart from their luggage, the old man and his wife and a few smaller children were sitting on it, so there really wasn't much room.

For the kindness extended by Brother Li, Gu Lan is grateful and grateful.

To be honest, although her current physique is indeed much better than before under her deliberate nutritional supplements these days, it is also relatively because her original foundation is so poor.

An An is not heavy, and I don't feel too tired when holding it, but I can't bear it for a long time!She couldn't bear to keep walking with such a small child, so her arms would inevitably be sore and uncomfortable during the whole journey.

It would indeed be much easier for her to let the child sit in the car. Considering that Gu Lan was not prepared to reject the Li family's kindness, the main reason was that she had a good impression of this family.

"Thank you so much, Brother Li." Gu Lan nodded, and then came to the Li family's team together, and the child was picked up by Li Sushi.

At first, An An was a little reluctant but also felt sorry for her mother. Finally, under the comfort of Gulan and knowing that her mother would always follow the cart, she obediently sat on the mule cart.

The well-behaved appearance made Li Su's surprise for a while.

Without the child on his back, Gu Lan was indeed much more relaxed, and followed the mule cart with a basket on his back.

The whole journey was silent, no one spoke unless there was something to do, and it took a lot of effort to speak while on the road, and everyone wanted to save some time.

On the way, the mule cart slowed down. The old man Li and Li Su got out of the car and replaced with two daughters-in-law. Every once in a while, the women of the Li family took turns to get on the car to rest, and the men insisted on it all the time.

From this point, Gu Langao took a look at the men of the Li family. At least they were not the kind of patriarchal family. The men were also very responsible, and they could be regarded as caring for the women in the family. In this kind of society, they could do this. The points are already pretty good.

During the period, old man Li also asked Gulan to get in the car to rest for a while, but she refused. Although he was a woman inside, he was shown as a man, so how could he get in the car? Long-distance driving is tiring, but it really matters It seems that she is stronger than many people, at least he still has the strength to walk.

Old man Li didn't insist, he was just polite, after all, there are really many people in his family.

Time passed slowly during the difficult journey, and the sun was about to set. Unfortunately, after walking for such a long time, I did not see any villages. There are many reasons why they walked along the official road. .

 So what feels good, please recommend it as a favorite (﹡o﹡)
