The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!

Chapter 160: Searching for a New Camp in the Dark

Forget it, seeing that no one was going to stop, Shen Youyou had no choice but to swallow her sympathy for her grandparents and continued to bend over to cut wild vegetables.

Li Jingshu called out to Shen Zhiqiu: "My basket is full again. Go and see if you can find an empty basket. If not, cut some rattan and make some new ones!"

Shen Zhiqiu responded but did not fiddle with the baskets. He knew that most of what could be put in was already filled, so he called a few men to help him cut rattan. With so many men, there was no need to weave many, one each would be enough.

There is no need to braid them very well. Although there are a lot of vegetables now, they will shrink when they are exposed to the sun.

The women here were laughing and joking, but they were reluctant to stop what they were doing: "Jingshu, your third child still listens to you and does whatever you tell him to do."

Li Jingshu is from the modern era, not a shy young wife from ancient times: "What's wrong, sister-in-law Tietou? Is your brother Tietou disobedient?"

Tietou's wife tutted her tongue: "The guy in our family, you say something and he talks back to you. You still have to say whether it's good or not. Just go about your business. Do you think I can see through this?"

Mrs. Fang's youngest son, Douzi's wife, was the one who was startled: "It's all the same. In fact, if you don't remind them, they will just bury their heads in work and will never remember that there are not enough baskets."

After saying this, Douzi's wife stood up and said, "Hey, who's going to pee over there?"

Ma Zi's wife and Li Xiu'e also stood up and said they would join in, as they had been holding it in for a long time.

When Old Lady Fang saw her daughter-in-law getting up and walking towards the woods with a few other women, she couldn't help but murmur to Old Lady Hua: "A lazy donkey poops a lot when it's grinding. It's already peed three times in just half a day."

Shen Youyou pretended not to hear anything. She glanced at the few people who went to urinate. They left in a hurry and came back in a hurry.

To be fair, these women are actually very capable, but even if ancient mothers-in-law didn't scold their daughters-in-law, they still loved to nag.

From what she saw, these women seemed to be tireless in wanting to grab all the edible food, one by one, and they would not move until they were almost suffocated.

They would squat or sit there cutting wild vegetables until they could no longer hold it in and were about to pee in their pants, then they would stand up and go to the woods to relieve themselves.

At this moment, Miss Douzi's wife was blocked by the other two people. When she squatted down to solve the problem, she shivered, which showed that she really couldn't hold it any longer.

As for the two people blocking the way, they felt that if they heard the sound of water being released, they had to grit their teeth, otherwise they would easily wet their pants.

If you are wondering, how can you pee when there are two people blocking it and there is a group of men over there?

They will definitely tell you that it's because you didn't hold it hard enough, otherwise why can't you pee? As for those men?

How could they have time to look at you? Didn’t they see that even the dozen or so men who had just cleaned up the wild boars were now busy cutting wild wormwood?

It can be seen that this is not the young wife who was frightened when she saw Shen Zhiqiu with bare arms when she first fled from famine.

Fleeing from famine is such a tough job!

"Mom, I'm hungry!"

The kids were wondering if it was time to set up the pot and cook, especially when they saw the pork had been cleaned, they couldn't even see the wild vegetables anymore.

The woman scolded, "Just bear with it! All you do is eat all day long. What's wrong with eating later?"

The kids protested: "We are really hungry, our stomachs are growling and our legs are weak."

As a result, the women said: "It's not like you haven't been hungry before. It's okay. Once you are over the hunger, you won't feel it anymore."

Shen Youyou listened to her rumbling stomach and felt anxious from hunger, but she sighed and still persisted.

The main thing is that even her great-grandfather is doing it at such an old age, so she has no face to not persist!

Grandpa Song's eldest grandson was sweating profusely from exhaustion. He had just carried a few baskets to load onto the truck when he came back and tried to pull Grandpa Shen: "Grandpa, stop cutting and take a rest!"

Mr. Shen said, "Go away. You won't find such neatly arranged wild vegetables for you to pick at other times. You have to be very selective when you pick some wild vegetables on the road. Look at this old patch. It's more juicy than the ones you grow at home."

The eldest grandson hesitated: "But you can't even squat anymore, isn't your waist sore?"

Mr. Shen was impatient: "I crawled, stop talking nonsense and get to work!"

Look, what's going on?

Shen Zhiqiu was also very tired today. Even the particularly strong Li Quan and Dahu and Erhu were a little overwhelmed. They had to travel, catch wild boars, kill pigs and dig wild vegetables.

Even those who are full of kung fu are gritting their teeth and persisting.

Shen Zhiqiu, who was originally a weak scholar, saw his parents, wife and daughters whose bamboo baskets were full, so he stood up and carried them. He really felt sorry for his family.

But when he was carrying another bamboo basket from Old Lady Hua, his legs went weak and he couldn't get up. He just squatted down and sat on the ground.

He wiped the sweat off his face with his muddy sleeves and panted, "Alright, that's enough. We should set off. We should walk at least 200 to 300 meters up and find a place to rest."

Mr. Shen looked at the many uncut wild vegetables left and smacked his lips. "How about we take a rest here? The women can set up the pot, so we can harvest more?"

Shen Zhiqiu was helpless: "Grandpa, we dare not spend the night here. The smell of blood is too strong, and it's all flat ground, there's nothing to cover us. If there are wolves, tigers, leopards, etc., can we outrun them?"

Suddenly, Hunter Gao spoke up: "Hey, did you hear the wolf howling?"

After hearing these words, the old man and old woman, who were still reluctant to leave, completely woke up. Although they had fought wolves twice and wild boars twice, it did not mean that they could remain unscathed in this terrain.

Not to mention that this is just a wild vegetable to fill your stomach, even the bark of the Eucommia ulmoides that can be sold for money is not as important as a child's life.

There was no need for Shen Zhiqiu to persuade them. They climbed up from the ground one by one, and shouted, "Hurry up, get up the mountain!"

Shen Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his face with his cotton jacket. Now he looked more like his father, a big harlequin cat and a small harlequin cat. The sweat and dust on their faces formed streaks of marks.

She also squatted down, put on her bamboo basket, and planned to carry it by herself. Unfortunately, she overestimated herself again and she didn't stand up at all.

Shen Daya, Shen Erya, and Wang Taohua saw this and hurriedly pulled up Shen Youyou, who was carrying the bamboo basket. After Shen Youyou stood up, the bamboo basket could bend her waist.

After the little sisters helped each other and stood up with their bamboo baskets on their backs, they began to walk up the mountain with their backs bent, following the adults' footsteps.

Shen Zhiqiu called Li Quan: "Uncle Li, take the boys to walk ahead and find a suitable place to rest. This area is definitely not safe at night. Try to find a terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Li Quan greeted them, but did not bring any strong adult men with him, because they were all carrying or pushing a lot of things, so he took the teenagers with him to explore the way.

No matter how old the women were, they all carried bamboo baskets and baskets on their backs. There was no place to carry their children.

Except for the three who were too young, Shen Luming and Shen Nannan also used their short legs to follow the adults.

The women had no hands to hold the children, so they could only let them pull on their clothes or the bamboo baskets they were holding.
