Mu Yunxiao quickly called a few children to come over after they finished, and went to explore the way first.
The pool should have been very big before, but now it is only more than two meters wide.
A lot of grass grew where the water receded.
Mu Yunxiao put down the things on his back, filled a pot of water and waited to boil it.
After finding some firewood, she realized that she didn't seem to be able to make a fire, and she didn't have any tinder. Could it be that she had to drill wood to start a fire?
this?
Mu Yunxiao looked at the sky. The sun had begun to set in the west. He might not be able to get out before dark.
While she was still distressed, the children came over. Niandi took out the fire seal from her arms and lit the fire skillfully.
"Mom, should we tell others that there is water here?" Zhao Di asked.
"How did those people treat us? Why should we tell them that it is enough for us to eat and drink enough." Niandi said and was about to grab a handful of water to drink.
Mu Yunxiao quickly stopped, "This is raw water. Let's boil it and let it cool before drinking. Otherwise, we will easily get sick. If there are insects in the water, they will go directly to our stomachs. There is no anthelmintic medicine here."
Niandi didn't understand the second part of the sentence but nodded anyway, "I'll listen to you."
Mu Yunxiao touched Niandi's head lovingly, thinking about what Zhaodi had just said.
Many people in the team must be short of water. No one knows where the next water source will be. The water here may be a life-saving thing for them. It is understandable to pay a price to survive, but the price cannot be too high. , if it goes too far, they will naturally join together to resist, and he and a group of children can't compare with so many people.
But since we are on the way to escape a disaster, it is natural that the stronger the people in the team are, the better, so that they will not be afraid even if they meet other people. People in the same village are still more reliable than outsiders.
Mu Yunxiao asked Zhaodi to take her sisters to look around to see if there was anything edible, and put the things away first, otherwise they would not be able to grab them when there were too many people. Niandi and Pandi heated up hot water and filled them with food. Put it in a water bag, and then go to the roadside to notify you that you have found a water source here.
But everyone can't go too far, at least the shouting can be heard by others.
The team was not moving fast. The road was difficult and rugged. The team was very long and there was no worry about falling behind.
After assigning their tasks, Mu Yunxiao also looked around. Fortunately, she met a gray rabbit again, but unfortunately it ran away again. It seemed that there should be many animals near the water source. Mu Yunxiao investigated more and more carefully. She got up and followed the slightest movement, and she discovered a nest of little rabbits, probably only about twenty days old, crawling around.
Thinking that the gray rabbit suddenly ran out just now, he was probably afraid that he would find its child. But unfortunately, its plan failed. I was not interested in chasing it too far and found its child. .
Mu Yunxiao collected all the seven rabbits in the litter. This was to prepare food for the future. She also grabbed some of the grass that the rabbits ate.
Over there, Zhaodi and her sisters also found a few wild eggs and some wild vegetables, but they were already out of season and not fresh.
"Little rabbit!" Niandi's eyes sparkled and she took the rabbit from Mu Yunxiao's hand. "It's a pity that it's a little small. There's only a few ounces of meat and it's not enough to stuff between the teeth. But it's better than nothing. Mom, why don't we Let's make some soup so that we can drink more."
Mu Yunxiao shook his head, "This rabbit is indeed too small. If you eat it, you won't get much meat. Anyway, they eat grass. It's better for us to fatten them up before eating them. Then we can eat more."
Niandi thought about it, and it seemed that her mother was right. When she grows up, she will eat more meat, "But grandma and the others..."
Mu Yunxiao interrupted her, "You have already signed the divorce agreement. She is not your grandmother, and I will protect you well. Don't worry too much."
This child Niandi is really very annoying.
Even at such a young age, he took on most of the things because he had his own ideas.
"You and Er Er go and call for help. I'll be here to guard you."
Mu Yunxiao asked Zhaodi to boil a pot of hot water to cook something to eat, while he found some strong vines and branches to surround the pool, leaving only an intersection.
"Zhaodi, I know you are a kind child who respects your elders and loves your younger siblings, but now you remember that what you have to consider is yourself and your sisters. Others, especially those who are not good to you, don't worry about their lives or lives. The most important thing is that you work hard to survive."
Zhao Di nodded after hearing this, "I don't have to worry about it."
Mu Yunxiao would have a few words with Zhaodi when she had time. The main reason was that she had been brainwashed a bit seriously. If she was deceived by the Song family into going back to being a cow in the future, it was better to take precautions in the bud.
The people called by Zhao Di also came over. Mu Yunxiao stood guard at the intersection with a knife.
"We are from the same village and should help each other, but we, mother and daughter, have just started our own business and have nothing. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to find this waterhole, which also gives us a little more hope of survival. If you want I won’t stop you from getting water, but it took a lot of effort for our mother and daughter to find this water pool. I would like to ask everyone to make it easier and give me a little reward. I don’t ask for much. Anyone who wants to get water can give me a reward. Grain that is more than a teacup is fine, as long as it is edible, but I won’t accept the bad ones. Of course, you don’t have to give them to me, but I can’t guarantee what I will put in the water. The worst is, we will die together, and you will be with me. I think you won’t feel lonely on the road.”
Mu Yunxiao's words naturally caused quite a commotion among the crowd.
However, the original image has been deeply ingrained in everyone's mind, and no one takes her words to heart.
"So what are you doing outside? We all belong to the same village. You, mother and daughter, will need help from others in the future. I think you just need a man, so you came up with such an unflattering idea. I don't dislike you for that." You have been married to someone with so many tarnishes, so just marry me, and I will definitely not let anyone bully you."
The person who spoke was a well-known Laizi in the village. He usually did not do serious business and was not a big deal on sneaking around. He was almost forty years old and had not yet married a wife. Most women would take a detour when they saw him.
Just talking was not enough, Zhao Laizi also used his eyes to disgust Mu Yunxiao, looked her up and down, and then looked at Zhao Di.
A strong wind blew by, and a machete appeared in front of Zhao Laizi's eyes, which frightened him into retreating quickly.
The machete passed across the top of his head, leaving a few strands of hair.
Mu Yunxiao withdrew the machete and kicked him in the abdomen. Zhao Laizi couldn't dodge and was kicked to the ground.
Mu Yunxiao put the knife on his neck, "What did you just say?"
Zhao Laizi immediately pretended to beg for mercy, "I was talking without thinking. Please put the knife down quickly to avoid hurting anyone."
