Qiao Linxi slowly retreated, and she stopped only after she had put a certain distance away from Zhao Dongqing and the others. Tiger walked up to her, stretched out his pink tongue and licked the water in Qiao Linxi's hand.
Although the palm of her hand was itchy when it was licked, Qiao Linxi did not dare to laugh or even express her anger.
She took out the unfinished water from the system: "This is my last water, give it all to you."
After saying that, Qiao Linxi unscrewed the bottle cap, slowly approached the tiger's mouth, and tried to pour water into its mouth. Not to mention, this tiger is really understanding of human nature, pouring water for Qiao Linxi with his mouth half open.
Most of the bottle of water was gone, Qiao Linxi shook the bottle: "No more."
The tiger may not have had enough to drink. He roared, raised his head and bumped towards Qiao Linxi, knocking Qiao Linxi to the ground, and then walked slowly over.
This frightened the others so much that they dared not speak out. Qiao Linxi's heart was in her throat. She was really afraid that the tiger would bite her head off in one bite.
No one expected that the tiger came close to Qiao Linxi's face, just stuck out its tongue and licked it, then wagged its tail and walked away.
"Huh..." Qiao Linxi took a breath and relaxed her hold. She felt that all the strength in her body had been drained away.
Although her face looked calm, only she knew that she was scared to death.
"Sister Lin Xi," seeing the tiger leaving, Qiao Linbao hurried over and pulled Qiao Linxi up: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, we just have no water."
Qiao Linxi indeed ran out of water. If she wanted water, she had to collect gratitude points to redeem it.
"It doesn't matter, you will always find water."
Instead, Qiao Linbao comforted Qiao Linxi. They were able to escape unscathed when such a big tiger appeared. It was also because of Qiao Linxi's water.
Returning to the porridge, Qiao Linxi looked at the cup of porridge on the ground and asked, "Has this porridge been licked by a tiger?"
Qiao Linqin nodded, "Licked a little."
"Then throw it away."
"Why? It's not dirty." Qiao Linhua was young and didn't understand, and the same was true for Qiao Linqin.
"This tiger is a carnivore and eats raw food. None of us know what it has eaten. If it brings germs into the cup, you will get sick after drinking it."
Qiao Linhua didn't understand Qiao Linxi's explanation, but Qiao Linxi said no more, so she could only watch helplessly as her share of porridge was thrown away.
There were only three cups, but it still didn't prevent eighteen children from drinking porridge. What surprised Qiao Linxi was that the people who got the cups started from the youngest.
This kind of action surprised Zhao Dongqing. Each of the children knew how to be humble. Even in this famine era and when they were hungry, their virtue still existed.
Although Qiao Linxi was the last one to drink the porridge, every child would pass the cup to her and let her drink first.
These younger brothers and sisters are really too sensible, which makes Qiao Linxi feel a little distressed. If they had not encountered a famine, and if their parents had not died, then they would definitely have a better development.
With her now, it is still unknown whether she can feed them all. Qiao Linxi could only say that she would do her best to take care of them.
Looking at the porridge in the cup, Qiao Linxi had mixed feelings. In such a famine era, it was an extremely happy thing to be able to drink hot porridge.
Qiao Linxi used all the five kilograms of rice given by the system to make porridge, so the porridge in the cup was a bit thick, but although it was thick, the rice grains were still distinct and not sticky together.
When she picked up the cup, she could smell the aroma of the porridge. When Qiao Linxi took a sip, she had a sweet aftertaste. Ordinary porridge will be bland without sugar. Unexpectedly, this porridge has a sweet taste.
Could it be because of the famine? People's sense of taste is amplified, and everything they eat is sweet?
"Not at that time!" The system's cute voice sounded again, "The products produced by the system must be high-quality. The porridge you drink, host, is equivalent to being cooked with the tribute rice given to the emperor. Of course it is sweet. And that water, It is a fine product in the water. In addition to containing a large amount of trace elements needed by the human body, it also has a sweet taste."
Qiao Linxi: Is it so powerful?
"Of course, this system is the super invincible, super cute, super cute system little Jiujiu in the entire system."
Qiao Linxi:......
Twenty people shared the pot of porridge, and each person could only drink one cup. After finishing the porridge, Qiao Linshan took the initiative to clean the pot. She found a handful of hay and brushed away the porridge paste on the pot.
Qiao Linbao used the sickle that Qiao Linxi had exchanged for a lollipop to chop two pieces of wood, found a rattan, tied the pot up, and carried it on his back.
The group packed up and set off again.
When the sun was scorching in the sky again, Qiao Linxi felt that her throat was about to smoke. Several times she wanted to secretly get some water to drink.
But when she saw Qiao Linle on Qiao Linshan's back being so obedient, lying on Qiao Linshan's back without crying or making any fuss, Qiao Linxi held back.
A person who has lived two lifetimes is worse than a two-year-old child.
When passing by a dead birch forest, Qiao Linxi saw some birch trees growing very straight, so she asked Qiao Linping (the second eldest boy in the second uncle's family) to take Qiao Linji and several other boys to chop down a few of them with sickles. stick in hand.
"Sister Lin Xi, what are you doing chopping sticks?" Qiao Linping asked while taking the sickle from the basket on his back.
"Chop a few wooden sticks. Firstly, you can use them as crutches. Secondly, you will have something in hand to give you confidence when encountering any problems."
"Oh." Qiao Linping took a few older boys to chop sticks.
Soon they cut off six or seven branches that were slightly thinner than the arm. They used sickles to trim off the twigs, which were easy to hold in their hands.
Maybe it was to fulfill Qiao Linxi's words, or maybe Qiao Linxi triggered some spell, but the sticks they chopped before were quickly put to use.
Qiao Linxi looked at the map in her hand: "We should go through this small forest, and behind it is the city."
All the children were centered around Qiao Linxi, and she did whatever she said, including Zhao Dongqing, who didn't put forward too many opinions.
Just when they reached the middle of the woods, Zhao Dongqing keenly sensed something was wrong.
"Wait a moment..." Zhao Dongqing stretched out his hand to stop Qiao Linxi: "There seems to be movement in front."
"It can't be a wolf, right?" Qiao Linxi's heart tightened and she spoke out.
A gray wolf slowly walked out of the grass beside the road ahead.
Looking at the strong big bad wolf, Qiao Linxi patted her mouth: "What the hell..."
Several boys with wooden sticks came forward, and Qiao Linxi did not forget to tell Qiao Linqin and the others to protect their youngest siblings and not to panic.
"This wolf is a social animal, let's not act rashly." Zhao Dongqing's words scared Qiao Linxi to the point of weakness, which meant that more wolves would appear.
