During the lean years, I relied on space to pamper my husband and raise my children.

Shen Qianning tried hard to recall the plot in the book.

I remembered one thing.

It is mentioned in the book that Xiao Feiye was desperate because he could not find water, so he accidentally went to a mountain stream. The mountain stream was located in the low-lying part of several mountains. Because the way down was extremely steep and relatively hidden, few people usually set foot on it.

Because of this, there was still some water in that low-lying area. Thanks to this water, the family was able to survive the crisis.

"There is an old saying that water flows to lower places. Husband, which mountain is the highest near here!"

Shen Qianning took the child and caught up with Xiao Feiye, pretending that she had no intention of mentioning this sentence.

Xiao Feiye, who was originally in a low mood, stopped after hearing what Shen Qianning said.

There was also a smile on his face: "Qian Ning, you reminded me! There are several high mountains about twenty miles away from the village. We can go there to have a look, but it's a long way. Just wait for me, and I'll put the quilt on my back to avoid you Freezing in the wild with my children.”

Xiao Feiye put down the bucket and Xiao Xiyue and came back a quarter of an hour later, carrying two quilts on his back.

Shen Qianning didn't eat in the morning, and her stomach kept growling "Gurgling...".

Passing by a deserted village, this place has long been deserted.

In the three years of severe drought, many people in the village have fled.

Their village benefited from the ancient well in the village. Now that the ancient well has dried up, it may not be long before the villagers will also flee!

"Men, let's rest here for a while and cook some food."

Shen Qianning was so hungry that she couldn't bear it, and the two children she was holding looked listless.

Xiao Feiye did not refuse, put down everything on his body and said, "I didn't bring much water, so I have to use it sparingly."

After saying that, he started looking for firewood around.

Shen Qianning let the three children play aside, while Xiao Dongchen took his two younger brothers to collect firewood.

Light a fire and cook.

I brought all the water from home, just a big gourd.

When no one was paying attention to her, Shen Qianning turned her back slightly, poured a bottle of mineral water into the pot, and then calmly added wheat bran to the pot.

I lost my compressed biscuits yesterday, but I don’t dare to throw them away today.

I could only grab an extra handful of wheat bran and put it in the pot, stirring it slowly.

What really worries her now is how to rationally use the materials in the space.

When she thinks about her family eating bran-pharyngeal vegetables and having so many supplies in her space that she cannot use, she becomes a little worried.

Pour some water from the gourd into the pot.

After Xiao Feiye collected enough firewood, he went to wander around the village.

The doors of every house in the village were open. They had been ransacked several times by villagers who had not left nearby. Everything that was slightly usable was taken away.

The land outside the village had long since cracked and turned into sand, and nothing could be grown. Xiao Feiye walked around and returned empty-handed.

Shen Qianning had already scooped up the cooked paste.

Xiao Feiye frowned, a little worried that the food would not last for a few days. He was not worried that he would be hungry. He was only worried that the children would not be full, and that Shen Qianning would be hungry.

Shen Qianning just glanced at Xiao Feiye and knew what Xiao Feiye was thinking.

He comforted him by saying, "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."

After eating and drinking, continue walking into the mountains.

The further you go into the mountains, the more you can see the dead bones of some animals.

These must all be dying of thirst and starvation!

All living beings are equal, life is difficult not only for humans, but also for animals.

Sleeping in the wild at night, Xiao Feiye lit a bonfire around the sleeping place for fear of wild beasts.

Shen Qianning and Xiao Feiye protected the three children on the left and right in the middle.

The air in the morning is dry.

There were no birds chirping in the woods, and the occasional green and tall tree was inedible.

Xiao Feiye got up first, carefully determined the location around him and said, "We'll be there at most five or six miles away."

After another hard walk, we finally reached a steep cliff at noon.

Surrounded by steep mountains, stand on the cliff and look down.

There is actually a green area in the low-lying part of the canyon.

Xiao Feiye was excited.

As soon as he got excited, he took Shen Qianning's hand and said, "Qianning is great, we have water to eat."

Shen Qianning felt her whole body tremble.

Xiao Feiye's hands were rough and his palms were big. Even these rough hands made her feel at ease.

Wen Wen said: "It's too high here. Let's eat something to refresh ourselves and then find a way down."

It was cooked again, and this time Shen Qianning poured all the water into the pot in front of Xiao Feiye.

One person ate another half bowl of glutinous rice and took a short rest.

Xiao Feiye started to find a way.

Finally, we found a steep but barely passable path down the mountain.

But now we are faced with another problem. The road conditions are unclear and we cannot take the children down hastily.

Shen Qianning was worried about Xiao Feiye, so she handed Xiao Feiye the kitchen knife he had hidden and brought out and said: "There is water nearby, and there might be some wild beasts down there. I feel more at ease if you bring the knife. I just took a look. You can throw a rope down the cliff where we rest. If there is really water below, just shout and I will lower the barrel with a rope."

There is something sweet in Xiao Fei's ambition.

Who says it’s not good for a lady to become tough!After his wife became tough, her thoughts became more delicate. In the past, these things were all his worries. Listening to Shen Qianning's caring words, Xiao Feiye's somewhat indifferent face also had a happy smile.

"Be safe up there with your children."

Xiao Feiye went down to the low-lying area with great effort.

But at a glance, he saw a panicked wild boar in a low-lying area.

meat!

In Xiao Feiye's eyes, that's meat.

The family hadn't eaten meat for more than half a year. The last time they ate meat was the three voles he had caught so hard.

But don't rush, the most important thing is to find a water source.

Looking around, I finally saw the murky pond.

Thinking about it, this low-lying area is not big and is completely sunken in. The wild boar has lived here for who knows how long and has already ruined this place.

But in the current situation, as long as there is water, it will be fine. As for whether it is clean or not, he does not consider it now.

Shen Qianning on the cliff was very worried, why there was no sound.

"Husband, are you alright?"

Shen Qianning's voice echoed in the valley.

Xiao Feiye raised his head and shouted: "There is a wild boar under Qian Ning."

Wild boar!

Shen Qianning never expected to be so lucky.

She remembered that there was no description of wild boar in the book!Could it be that because they arrived earlier, the wild boar was still alive?

After thinking for a while, he said to Dongchen and Nanchuan: "Mom, go down to the cliff to check the situation. You two must not go to the edge of the cliff. I will tie Xiyue to the tree with a rope. Can you play with him?"

The children of the poor are in charge early.

Although Xiao Dongchen and Xiao Nanchuan are only five years old, they are extremely sensible.

Xiao Dongchen patted his little chest and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely take good care of my second and third brothers."

Xiao Nanchuan also came forward and promised: "I will take good care of my brother."

The youngest Xiao Nanyue looked well-behaved.

After Shen Qianning gave some warnings, he walked down the cliff with confidence.

Xiao Feiye was not surprised that Shen Qianning came down.

The wild boar only weighed about a hundred pounds, was a little thin, and had been cornered by Xiao Feiye.
