"Hey, don't worry too much! Let's stop doing things that strain our eyes and just light more honey candles in the car from now on. We won't go blind!"

Su Bujing took Su Buyou's little hand and pretended to be relaxed and comforted.

"Sister, am I really not going to be blind? I don't want to be blind... Wuwuwu, it's so dark and dark in autumn, I want to see the sunrise again!"

Su Buyou opened his tearful eyes and looked at Su Bujing pitifully.

"Of course not. At most, you can only see things blurry. Isn't it okay if you look at my brother's eyes?" Su Bujing glanced at Su Buyi and motioned for him to quickly help comfort Su Buyou.

However, this time Su Buyi did not offer the soft words of comfort as usual. Instead, he looked at Su Buyu with a serious face and said:

"Brother, don't take chances. Just because I'm fine doesn't mean you will be fine too. Since you're afraid of damaging your eyes, then from now on, light more honey candles and read less books. I'll read to you."

Su Buyou blew his nose, leaned over and hugged Su Buyi's arm, and said softly, "Brother, I want to be obedient."

Su Buyi:...

This kid just waits for his last words!
Mrs. Zhao looked at Su Buyou dumbfounded, and the anxiety in her heart that had no place to rest was completely wiped away.

Then, Mrs. Zhao cheered up and asked Su Buwei to use a dagger to carve four recesses into the inner wall of the carriage, then took out four honey candles from the space, lit them one by one and placed them in them.

The children are right, since their eyes gradually get used to the dark night, they will return to the "light"!
Anyway, the honey candles stored in the space are enough to last their family Huo Huo for a long time.

Besides, if you use up the honey candle, just use it up!At worst, they lit torches in the car for lighting.

The purpose of lighting a fire is to see things. If in order to save honey candles, they lose their eyes and end up blind, wouldn't it be worth the loss and putting the cart before the horse?

No matter what, the eyes must not be damaged.

Not long after, five honey candles were lit in the car, and the bright, warm yellow light illuminated every corner of the car clearly.

Su Bujing and Su Buyi even spotted a dark green spider hidden on the roof of the car.

The pattern growing on its back is like a weird grimace growing across its back, leaving no one doubting how venomous this spider is.

Its body is as big as a baby's fist, and its thick black hair makes people feel scared.

At this time, it was staying there motionless, as if it was asleep.

Without saying a word, Su Bujing used a dagger to pick the spider out of the car window and swung it out with all his strength, looking fearless.

Turning his head, he saw Zhao and Su Buwei huddled at the door of the car with Su Buyou in their arms, panicking and ready to run away at any moment.

"Second brother, didn't you say you're not afraid of anything? Why are you still hugging my mother-in-law right now... You're holding me tighter than my little brother!" Su Bujing teased with raised eyebrows.

"Spiders... spiders are different! Think about its disgusting tentacles and black hair..."

"Hey, sister, how long do you think this spider has been in the car? Could it have crawled on our faces while we were sleeping? Ouch!"

Su Buwei shivered with a strong sense of empathy, and his nose and eyes wrinkled together in disgust.

"Well, maybe second brother, you ate a few while you were sleeping!" Su Bujing added without changing his expression.

When Su Buwei heard this, he was confused in the wind, covered his mouth and said vaguely:

"No way! If I really eat such a big thing, won't I choke to death? Should I eat its hairy legs first or..."

"Okay, don't be so surprised. You are not even afraid of me. Fortunately, you are still an elder brother, and you still need your sister to protect you." Zhao said helplessly.

"Go quickly, go outside and light some more torches for your father. It's hard for your eyes to see things outside." Mrs. Zhao handed Su Buwei a fire certificate and urged.

Su Yuanshan was keeping vigil outside.After hearing this, Su Bugui stopped worrying about the spider problem and obediently took two torches and went to the edge of the car to help Su Yuanshan with lighting.

After Su Buwei left, Su Bujing and Su Buyi were worried that there were spiders in the car, so they tidied up the car again.

During the cleaning process, they found a lot of small bugs in the corners, including translucent spiders, flying insects as big as mung beans, and shelled bugs as hard as wood...

Ever since they joined the large team fleeing from famine, their family was worried about the strong smell, so they never used realgar powder to drive away insects and snakes.

Zhao felt uncomfortable all over at the thought of being in the same room with these things.

"Where did these bugs come from? Our car windows are obviously not open!" Zhao said with lingering fear as he glanced at the car.

I don’t know if these bugs are crawling around while they are resting. If they are poisonous, they may have died three or five times!

"Maybe we brought it in with something stuck on our clothes when we went out. Next time we should shake our clothes more before getting in the car and check." Su Bujing speculated.

When the family goes out to search for food, it is inevitable that they will hang on branches on the roadside. It is also possible that insects are stuck on their clothes and then brought into the car.

The last few people carefully checked the carriage again, and after confirming that there were no missing bugs, they closed their eyes and went to sleep without doing anything that strained their eyes.

Perhaps because of the flying fish he ate that night, Su Bujing's practice went particularly smoothly this time.

The spiritual energy in the sachet was continuously absorbed by her, and she had to exchange spiritual stones from the space every other cup of tea.

Su Bujing already felt that his spiritual energy was about to reach the third level, and the breakthrough would only come sooner or later.

Just as Su Bujing closed his eyes and practiced, the carriage swayed slightly and moved forward slowly. The sound of rustling and indistinct conversations lingered in his ears.

The fleeing team should be on their way again.

Su Bujing didn't even move his eyes. He turned over in surprise and continued to be immersed in the embrace of spiritual energy.

During the journey, Su Buyi sat up in the carriage, took a deep look at Su Buying's back, opened the door gently, and Su Yuanshan came in to rest.

Under the quiet night, a long queue slowly moved towards the south.

If you stand in the air and look down, you can't see the head forward or the tail behind. The team is dotted with sparks and torches, which is extremely spectacular.

By the time the team stopped again, seven torches had been burned.

Su Bujing got up and went out to find food with Su Yuanshan, Han Ju, Du Shi and Alan who followed their carriage specially.

"Oh, we, mother and daughter, are really troublesome to you!" Du said with her head lowered in embarrassment.

"There's no need for trouble. We're just looking for food together. One more person gives us a pair of eyes!"

"With you and Alan here, we will definitely be able to find more new food to go back to." Su Bujing took Alan's little hand and said softly.

Du Shi and Alan's temperaments have changed drastically since the Hu Laowu incident. Now they, mother and daughter, are traveling with Han Ju. They encounter fewer troublemakers on the road, and their days on the road are much easier.

When looking for food, Su Bujing casually reminded Han Ju and others to pay attention to torch lighting. If the light is dim, the eyes will easily get damaged.

Han Ju and others nodded solemnly, keeping this matter firmly in mind.

Along the way, Han Ju and Du Shi shared many things they were familiar with with Su Bujing and others.

The red powder of the sunset tree, which was small enough to be used to start a fire, and the dead wood with hooks and iron, which was large enough to be used to make car boards, were an eye-opener for Su Bujing and others.

It turns out there are useful treasures everywhere!
