Chapter 20
Fortunately, Qianhua Town was located on the edge of Qizhou, so the fleeing team did not rest for three consecutive days, and fled Qizhou's territory all the way through the starry night.

Now they could finally have a good night's rest without having to worry about the True Dragon Army plundering Qizhou.

Chen Wanli's face turned pale, and he held on to the fatigue of his body. He stood at the head and ordered: "Fellow fellow villagers, let's have a good night's rest tonight. We will set off again tomorrow morning and continue our journey."

After finishing speaking, Chen Wanli turned around and counted only three sweet potatoes left. The beans had been eaten long ago. This was the last food for their family.

"Liu Niang, come with me to find something to eat outside." Chen Wanli's voice was a little hoarse.

He had been on the road and consumed a lot of energy. He ate the half bag of sweet potatoes and beans very quickly.

"You want me to come with you again? Your name is A Yuan! I'm not feeling well today!" Wen has been eating poorly and sleeping restlessly for the past few days. She seems to have aged several years.

"I told you, A Yuan is still young! As a mother, you need to take more care of her!" Chen Wanli pulled Wen into the woods nearby.

Even Chen Wanli's family was like this, and it was even more difficult for the other people in the escape team.

They fled in a hurry, just trying to save their lives, and didn't take much food, clothing, etc., but now they are stretched thin.

Only the Su family's situation is slightly better.

They took advantage of the two hours of daily rest to fill water bottles and look for wild vegetables. Now there is a lot of food on the cart, and there is a whole row of bamboo tubes.

Su Bujing went to find wild vegetables with Su Buwei as usual and practiced sword skills.

There are more people going out looking for food today, and you can see people everywhere.

Su Buwei didn't hesitate and just kept practicing his sword skills with a branch.

Compared with the unfamiliarity of the past few days, Su Buwei has improved a lot now.

After Su Buwei finished practicing, Su Bujing went to look for wild vegetables, but found that he couldn't find anything edible after searching here and there.

"It's strange. Yesterday I could still find some wild fruits and vegetable roots. If I was lucky, I could even touch a few bird eggs. Why can't I find anything today?" Su Buwei said doubtfully.

Su Buying frowned and thought, pulling Su Buying and running to the west. The shallow stream that could still be seen yesterday was gone.

"Second brother, the stream has stopped flowing here. It seems we are about to enter the Yongzhou boundary."

Everyone in Qizhou knows that in Yongzhou next door to Qizhou, only Yi County has a river passing through it.

Su Bujing was glad in his heart: Fortunately, their family had made bamboo tubes and filled them with a lot of water for storage.

Su Buwei added: "Even if we get to Yongzhou, we won't be able to find some wild vegetables!"

Su Buwei was shocked and did not answer. Instead, he pulled Su Buwei back and found Su Yuanshan who was feeding cows and grazing, and told her what she had discovered.

Su Yuanshan pondered for a moment and said: "Most of the people who fled Yuanzhou also changed their route to Yongzhou after hearing that Qizhou had also fallen, and they happened to be ahead of us."

Su Buyi, who was walking by, said worriedly: "I don't know how many people are needed to eat this land so cleanly!"

Su Yuanshan sighed helplessly and said: "What we have now is quite enough. Two pieces of bacon and three pickled fish have not been touched. There are still six sweet potatoes. Please be patient and we should be able to hold on for a while."

Su Buyi and Su Buwei looked sad. They had made sufficient preparations before, but they didn't expect that all the preparations were a waste of time.

Su Bujing thought in her mind that there was only a jar of water and some salt in her fairy mansion. If she saved some, she could only ensure that the Su family would not die of thirst.

As for food, there is only fairy grass and elixir in her fairy mansion. Let’s not talk about whether it can be taken out. Even if it is taken out, no one can eat it.

The wild flowers, grass and fruits growing in the fairy mansion cannot be kept full.

Sigh... It's a pity that in her last life, she was inedged early and wasn't keen on eating, so she didn't put the inediate pill into the immortal mansion.

It’s really troublesome now!

Su Bujing suggested: "Dad, let's go back a little bit and pick up some things for storage!" Su Yuanshan nodded: "Okay, let your second brother accompany you."

After receiving the agreement, Su Bujing and Su Buwei walked back to find something to eat.

With his hands behind his back, Su Yuanshan slowly walked up to Chen Wanli and told him about the hidden danger.

"I suggest everyone to find some things to store up first. The further back you go, the less things you will find."

Chen Wanli nodded solemnly and called on everyone to go back and spend a day collecting wild vegetables and picking fruits.

However, there were still many people in the crowd who were lazy and suspected that there were too many troubles. Instead of walking back with them, they lay on the ground to rest.

They thought that Chen Wanli was doing something unnecessary. It was just a coincidence that he didn't find food today. He would definitely find it tomorrow. There was no need to go back again.

It wasn't until sunset that everyone came back.

Everyone who went there packed their belongings on the front of their clothes and came back. It looked like they could survive for a few days if they saved a little.

After everyone simply gathered the delicious food, they each found a place to lean on, fell down and went to sleep.

It is difficult to use water nowadays. Not to mention washing your face and bathing, the water you drink every day is calculated into every sip.

Su Bujing and Su Buwei brought back a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms. Su Buwei also took the time to practice sword skills. At this time, he was exhausted and fell asleep.

Su Bujing couldn't sleep.

Forty or fifty people were sleeping in the same place at the same time, so you can imagine how noisy it was.

Grinding teeth, talking in sleep, snoring, and occasionally a child crying, making Su Bujing sleep more and more awake.

The weather was getting colder. Grandma Chen and Chen Yuan were curled up and resting in the corner of the cart. The Su family was also sleeping deeply.

After all, this is the only peaceful sleep everyone has had until now after fleeing for their lives.

Su Bujing couldn't sleep, so he just grabbed his purse and practiced.

After absorbing the broken spirit stones in his purse, he took out new ones from the Immortal Mansion, and practiced until the sky turned pale, and Su Bujing opened his eyes.

After a night of repairing, everyone's complexions looked much better, and they were traveling much faster than before.

Perhaps knowing that there was not enough food, everyone walked vigorously, hoping to reach the county seat as soon as possible.

Meals have also changed from two meals a day to one meal a day.

The original politeness and humility during the meal, the harmonious atmosphere of "you bring the food, and I'll return some mushrooms" have completely disappeared.

Everyone is on guard against each other when cooking, for fear that others will come and compete for their food.

the other side

Su Buyi lit a fire, and Zhao counted six wild vegetables and put them into the pot, then rubbed the salt with his hands and took out four more fruits.

"We'll each have a wild vegetable later, drink the soup and then eat some fruit."

The wild vegetable soup, to put it nicely, is called soup, but to put it bluntly, it is just clear water and wild vegetables, with a little salty taste.

But this is already very good among the people who are fleeing.

Others didn't even think about the importance of salt when they ran away. They hadn't even tasted salt in the past few days, and they felt like they were talking.
