Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Seeing the familiar traces on the tree, Ouyang Ming also fell silent.

And not long ago they passed by this place.

When passing by, Jiang Zhiyue also pointed out the scratch on the tree to him, and discussed with him which animal left the scratch.

The rest of the team heard the two of them talking.

So when Jiang Zhiyue asked Ouyang Ming to take a look, Mr. Jiang and the others also walked over to take a look, and they all saw the trace.

Everyone was silent. It seemed that they had indeed lost their way without knowing it.

They thought they had walked a long way, but they turned back after walking for so long.

Huang Huaihua asked worriedly: "What should we do, why don't we turn back and walk the mountain road?"

Wang Hao looked at his mother and explained: "Mom, since we are lost, it means that we have confused the direction, and now we don't know which direction to go even if we want to go out."

Huang Huaihua became even more anxious when she heard it, and kept muttering: "Then what to do, what to do then!"

Wang Fengshou was almost blown out by her muttering, and said, "Stop talking, your head is going to make you dizzy, let's think of a way together and we will definitely be able to get out."

Then he looked at Jiang Zhiyue and asked, "Yue girl, do you have any good ideas?"

Jiang Zhiyue looked up at the sky, the leaves were too dense, and the light that could shine down was very weak.

But it looked like they had been wandering around the woods for quite some time.

She thought of several ways in her mind and planned to try it out, but since it was late, she didn't worry about it for a while.

She nodded and said, "There are indeed several ways."

"Everyone has been tired all day, let's stop here and take a rest, and try again at dawn tomorrow."

There is no objection.

Originally, they waited outside the city gate for Jiang Zhiyue and the others to come back, and they hadn't eaten all this time, but now that they had walked for so long, they were already tired and hungry.

Knowing what to rest here, everyone started to do what they should do in an orderly manner.

Mrs. Zhang and the others picked up some stones and piled up a simple stove and put the pot on it. Several children picked up dry branches from this area to start a fire.

Because it was too dark in the woods, and people couldn't figure out the direction, Mrs. Jiang told them not to run far.

Goro and Liulang obediently agreed, and followed Saburo Shiro to pick up branches around here.

Jiang Yulai was not assigned a task, so she helped Xiao Wang off the bullock cart and let her move around.

The baby in Xiao Wang's belly was already seven months old, and Jiang Zhiyue looked bigger than the big iron pot they used to cook.

Every time she came down for activities, everyone let Jiang Yulai follow closely, for fear of any accidents.

Old Mrs. Jiang looked at it so heartbroken that she said, "Why don't you leave, and stop for a while."

Mu Qiqi persuaded: "Grandma Jiang, Aunt Wang is pregnant with twins, if you don't move around a lot now, it will be dangerous if you don't have the energy to give birth."

Mu Qiqi studied medicine with her father, which involved a wide range of aspects, even though she was still an unmarried girl, so she didn't take these things into consideration.

Mrs. Jiang is also a person who has been there, knowing how dangerous it is to have no strength during childbirth, so she didn't say anything else.

Others pitched tents not far away.

Watching Mrs. Jiang and the others cook, Jiang Zhiyue thought of the things she bought in the city in the morning, and took some out of the basket.

Jiang Zhiyue took out more than a dozen eggs from the basket, and also took out a few salted duck eggs, and even some meat buns, peppers, pork and roast chicken.

Sun looked at the things that were taken out one by one, and said distressedly: "I bought so many things, it must cost a lot of money."

Jiang Zhiyue said with a smile: "It didn't cost much, we don't have the strength to drive all day without eating enough."

"When we get to the place, the money can always be earned back, so don't feel bad for Second Aunt."

Thinking about it, Mrs. Sun happily took the things Jiang Zhiyue took out and took them away.

For the convenience of taking out the things next time, Jiang Zhiyue said, "I bought other things in the city, and I will take them out when I need them, and I will take them out differently."

Mrs. Jiang glanced at her and said, "Okay, just leave it alone."

Goro Liulang saw Jiang Zhiyue come out with so many things, so he ran to her and yelled.

Liu Lang asked, "Sister, have you bought any candies?"

Goro followed suit: "I want to eat that white candy from last time."

Mrs. Zhang knocked him on the head, and reprimanded him: "Don't mess around, it's good to have something to eat, and it's even chosen. Your elder sister can eat whatever she buys."

But she knew in her heart that the precious candy that Jiang Zhiyue took out last time must have been conjured from the treasure chest that the old fairy gave her daughter, and she could always have it.

Wulang covered his head and looked at Mrs. Zhang sadly. Jiang Zhiyue couldn't help laughing, and said, "Sister bought many kinds of candies in the city, but I can only eat one a day."

"Good~"

When Liu Lang heard that there were many kinds, he couldn't wait to ask: "Sister, let me see what kind of candy you bought."

Jiang Zhiyue didn't continue to play tricks, and mixed some candies in the space with some pastries and candies bought in the city and took them out.

The two cheered excitedly when they saw so many candies.

Jiang Zhiyue picked up the white candy that Goro mentioned, which was actually the little white rabbit milk candy that Jiang Zhiyue had repackaged and distributed to everyone.

She kept shuttling through the crowd, very busy.

After she distributed all the sweets to everyone, the tent was set up, and Mrs. Zhang and the others who were cooking also finished the meal.

Today's dinner is very sumptuous, basically all brought out by Jiang Zhiyue.

There are shredded roast chicken, chili scrambled eggs, braised pork, white and fat buns, fragrant white porridge, and vermicelli pie.

It was also rare to see two dishes of vegetables, of course Jiang Zhiyue took them out from the space.

When Jiang Zhiyue was shopping, Ouyang Ming followed her every step of the way, remembering exactly what she bought.

Ouyang Ming didn't see those vegetables and candies when he was shopping.

Ouyang Ming's lowered eyes darkened, these things seemed to be conjured by Jiang Zhiyue out of thin air.

He knew that Jiang Zhiyue had a lot of secrets, but she didn't want to say it, and he wouldn't force her to ask, so he pretended he didn't find out, and ate silently with his head down.

Jiang Zhiyue secretly took a look at Ouyang Ming, feeling that his expression hadn't changed, thinking that he probably didn't notice anything wrong, so she started to eat with peace of mind.

Before going to bed, everyone sprinkled powder around each tent to prevent snakes, rats, insects and ants.

There was no sunlight in the woods, and everyone fell into a drowsy sleep. When they woke up the next day, they didn't know what time it was.

Jiang Zhiyue secretly took out an electronic watch from her arms, and the time on it showed that it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Zhiyue tidied up in the tent and then hurried out, unknowingly it was already so late.

Everyone came out of the tent one after another.

Jiang Zhiyue looked up, because the top was blocked by intertwined branches and leaves, the light she could see was extremely weak.

The light projected from among the leaves on the ground swayed fragmentarily on the ground.

Jiang Yulai walked out from another tent, and looked up following Jiang Zhiyue's eyes.

Asked: "Is there any way for Zhiyue to identify the direction?"

Everyone didn't forget that Jiang Zhiyue said there was a solution last night, and all eyes were on her.

Jiang Yuchao suddenly remembered that he had seen in a book how to tell the direction according to the growth rings of tree stumps.

Then he asked: "Does Zhiyue need to judge the direction according to the growth direction of the tree?"

Then he said to himself: "But we didn't see any broken tree stumps when we came in. These trees are so big, it's not convenient to cut down one of them."

Jiang Zhiyue naturally also thought of this method, but just like her father said, it is not convenient to rely on this method in this forest.

So she was talking about several other methods, and Jiang Zhiyue directly stated her own methods.

"Don't look for tree stumps, everyone look at the shadows on the ground."

Everyone looked at where Jiang Zhiyue pointed.

The shadows of branches and leaves on the ground are constantly shaking.

The old lady Jiang asked anxiously: "Zhiyue, don't be a fool, tell us quickly."

Jiang Zhiyue smiled and continued: "Don't worry, grandma, it should be around [-]:[-] now, the sun rises in the northeast direction, and the direction of the shadow it casts is the southwest direction, everyone carefully look at the shadow on the ground."

Everyone looked again and found that the dim shadows were slanting towards one direction.

After they rushed to the woods yesterday, they were worried that someone would chase them, and hurried on their way. It was already afternoon when they realized something was wrong.

The sunlight was so weak, so naturally he didn't notice the method Jiang Zhiyue said.

Now that Jiang Zhiyue mentioned it, everyone felt that this was indeed a good method.

Jiang Dalang looked at the shadow on the ground and said excitedly, "So that's the southwest direction."

"Yes." Jiang Zhiyue smiled and said: "There is also this stone, the moss grows vigorously on this side, which means that it is north, we can follow the shadow cast by the sun to identify the direction, and then adapt to the situation at any time."

Everyone thought it was a good method, and they couldn't wait to set out to try it out.

Mrs. Jiang was also very happy to finally find her way, but she still stopped the impatient people, "Even if you want to go, you have to rest your stomach first, and put away all your things quickly, and we will set off in a while."

Because of the excitement of finding the direction, everyone did not regenerate the fire to cook. After a simple meal, they loaded everything on the cart and set off.

Originally, they had already used up the contents of one cart and one bullock cart, but Mr. Wang was reluctant to throw away the cart, so he shared part of the contents of the other two bullock carts.

Bullocks also need strength to pull a cart, and when there are fewer things on it, it doesn't take so much effort.

Everyone took turns pushing the carts, and occasionally sat on the bullock carts to drive on the road.
