Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 33

Xiaomei's praise of Li Baizhou made Mei Qian somewhat in crisis.

[If he makes it so delicious, why don’t you change the host? 】

Mei Qian asked tentatively, but Xiaomei didn't notice Mei Qian's probing, and thought Mei Qian was jealous, so she said: "There are many people who cook delicious food in this world, and I am not the only one who cooks delicious food." If I want to tie someone up, I might as well tie up a cook. 】

[Then what are the conditions for your binding? 】

[Host, don’t ask about system matters, do you understand? 】

Xiaomei suddenly became social and choked Meiqian.

[This man is currently the best cook among you. Before you find the next good cook, I think you must take control of the host and let him cook more delicious meals. 】

Xiaomei's words also made Mei Qian a little more thoughtful.

Indeed, if she finds someone who can cook better than her, the frequency and quality of her food exchanges will be much higher than before.

Thinking like this, the slightly sour feeling of being inferior in cooking skills was gone, replaced by the thought of changing chefs.

Before going to bed, Mei Qian was thinking about how to make Li Baizhou cook every meal...

Accompanied by the soothing sound of water waves, Mei Qian soon fell into a deep sleep. However, the quality of her sleep was not very good. At dawn, the bumps of the ship woke her up immediately.

The light from outside the ship shone through the hatch, and Mei Qian sat upright sleepily. She slowly moved her arms. She fell asleep sitting like this last night, and her whole body was sore now.

At this time, she happened to hear the conversation coming from the bow of the ship.

"Your face looks very ugly. Are you seasick?"

"No, my head was injured a few days ago. Now I suddenly relaxed and my head hurts badly again."

Mei Qian pushed open the door of the cabin and saw at first sight Li Baizhou, who was sitting in the bow and had changed into linen clothes. His face was as bright as gold and he looked really bad.

"Qian Qian is awake?"

Mei Erhu noticed his daughter, Mei Qian said hello, turned to look at her father, and said softly: "The boat bumped just now, and I woke up right now."

"I just entered the canal and encountered some undercurrents. Fortunately, everything went well."

After Mei Erhu finished speaking, Mei Qian realized that their boat had entered the canal. No wonder she felt that her field of vision was much wider when she came out just now.

She turned her head and looked at the calm and wide lake and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The morning glow was gorgeous, and Mei Qian looked at the purple-red clouds on the horizon and felt very comfortable.

Good luck!

It’s so auspicious to see this rays of light so early in the morning!

Mei Qian thought so, but the next second Mei Erhu's words made Mei Qian's mood fall to the bottom again.

"If Zhaoxia doesn't go out, the weather today... oh, it feels like it's going to rain heavily."

"what?"

Mei Qian was stunned for a moment, looked at her father, and heard Mei Erhu talking about some common sayings about the weather that were passed down among the people.

The morning glow does not leave the house, but the sunset glow travels thousands of miles.

"Look to the west, there are so many clouds, I guess there will be heavy rain behind."

Mei Qian followed Mei Erhu's words and turned to look to the west. Compared with the gorgeous glow in the east, the sky in the west was filled with countless clouds early in the morning and was about to collapse.

This does seem like a storm is coming.

"What's raining?"

Mrs. Mei, who was old and had little sleep, heard someone talking on the bow of the boat and walked out of the cabin as soon as she woke up.

But as soon as she walked out, she didn't need anyone else to explain. She immediately understood what they said when she saw the weather.

"Oh, it looks like it's raining quite a bit today."

As Mrs. Mei spoke, she turned to look at Mei Erhu and asked, "Don't go to the middle of the river later, but drive this way. When the rain gets heavy, find a place to stop for a while." This summer is the most likely to happen. During heavy rains, the river will become turbid and turbulent for a short period of time. It is not a safe decision to sail at that time.

"Hey, I know, mother."

Mei Erhu knew this well. As a man of his age, it was not like he had never gone out before, and it was not like he had never seen such an emergency.

At this time, Mrs. Mei also noticed Li Baizhou's languid look and ugly face.

Mrs. Mei asked with concern. When she learned that the other party's head was also injured, she asked him to go into the cabin and have a good rest.

Looking at the other party's injured head, it looked like it was worse than the injury on his waist last night.

When Li Baizhou entered the cabin, his eyes went dark when he bent down, but luckily he was supported by Mei Qian beside him.

Mei Qian was a good person and did her best. While helping the person in, she didn't forget to ask one more question: "How did you get injured on your head? It looks serious?"

"Hit by a sneak attack."

"That's really dangerous."

Even though the head is protected by a skull, it is actually very fragile.

Mei Qian comforted her kindly: "You were just injured, and it didn't affect your escape like yesterday. You're lucky."

I don't know what Mei Qian's words made Li Baizhou think of. After Li Baizhou sat down, he said, "You are indeed lucky."

Thanks to his injury, some people let their guard down.

At this time, Mrs. Han and Ms. Jiang also woke up. The sisters opened the front and rear doors of the cabin, and the wind blew from both ends and instantly swept away the dullness in the cabin.

Hearing that it was going to rain, Han went directly to the stern of the ship and moved all the luggage on the donkey's back into the cabin, including Li Baizhou's small baggage.

Li Baizhou glanced at the place where his baggage was, and saw that no one asked and had no intention of touching it. Han just mixed the baggage with the pile of food luggage at Lao Mei's house.

Li Baizhou saw it and had no intention of speaking.

At this time, Mei Qian happened to see Mrs. Jiang dragging in reeds and water onions from outside with her big belly, so she quickly went up to help her and asked her what she was doing.

Jiang said: "Make something. Looking at these reeds and green onions, I want to make something to use.

Also, with Xiao Hui's physique, he probably wouldn't be able to get into the cabin. If it really rained, the awning at the stern wouldn't be able to cover it. "

After saying that, Mrs. Jiang said: "Xiao Hui is also a member of our family after all. I plan to make a raincoat for Xiao Hui temporarily."

"Mom, you are so skillful with your hands."

Mei Qian truly admired Jiang's plan when she heard it.

If you think about it carefully, everyone in Lao Mei's family has some special skills.

Mei Qian knew her mother Jiang's ingenuity and her mother's rich experience and clever mind early on.

Even if the eldest aunt Han was looked at as being disliked everywhere and seemed to not have many skills except gluttony, in the village before, if anyone gossiped about her old Mei family's Kefu, too many widows, etc., her eldest aunt would It was the first time.

There were rare times when her aunt couldn't defeat a group of people and came back to look for her milk.

On the way to escape, Mei Qian didn't notice her aunt's actions because she made so many moves.

It was only occasionally when I listened to my eldest aunt who came back from digging wild vegetables to show off how she competed with others for vegetables that I could get a glimpse of how powerful her aunt was, and she was not the kind of person who was always in trouble.

Needless to say, his father and cousin were both strong and skilled, and they were quite capable whether they were tending the fields or hunting in the mountains.

Thinking like this, Mei Qian felt more and more that her home was nice, and she even secretly enjoyed it. As a result, she turned around and met Li Baizhou's indescribable expression.

Mei Qian: "..."

Li Baizhou: "..."

　Li Baizhou: There seems to be a smart little lady in this family, but I feel like something is wrong with her head.

　　Mei Qian: I advise you to take it back.
