When everyone saw the overly desolate city gate, their hearts felt cold. Even if they had already prepared in their hearts, they would still worry about the future.
But no matter what, everyone was escorted into the city by the officials, and one by one they made records at the Yamen and changed their household registrations.
After everyone was recorded in the register, the master assigned villages to everyone and asked everyone to go by themselves before leaving.
Yu Xiaoxiao glanced at Yu's mother, but neither of them said a word. They and the Yu family were all assigned to Lijia Village.
They didn't want to be the first, and it wasn't their turn to be the first, not to mention that the head of the Yu family was still there.
Yu Xiaoxiao and Yu's mother honestly followed the arrangements of the Yu clan leader and Uncle Yu.
They paid for someone to lead the way and they found Lijia Village. It was already dark.
The clan leader and Uncle Yu went to the village chief to discuss the matter. In the end, they all borrowed a house from another family, with dozens of people crammed into one room.
Due to the intense driving during the day, the exhausted people fell asleep quickly, but Yu Xiaoxiao did not feel sleepy at all. After the transformation of the body by the soul during this period, Yu Xiaoxiao's physical strength was no longer what it used to be.
Even cutting with a knife would not break the skin. Therefore, the rush has not had much impact on her, and naturally she will not feel tired.
Today's environment really makes her uncomfortable.
So she stayed up all night, but despite this, she was still in good spirits. She got up early and went to the river to wash up and have breakfast.
After everyone had almost woken up, she slowly came back and came to Yu's mother, waiting for the arrangements with her.
Yesterday, she found out that if they wanted a house to live in, they would have to build it themselves. There were no spare empty houses here.
In addition, although this village is called Lijia Village, in fact, most of them are exiled prisoners like them, and they are not very wealthy.
The clan leaders quickly discussed the countermeasures and arranged the tasks in an orderly manner. The men went to cut down trees, and the women went to pick wild fruits and vegetables. Another group of men and women were separated to go to the city to buy pots and pans.
Needless to say, Yu Xiaoxiao and Yu Mu were naturally assigned to pick wild fruits and vegetables.
The hard work we have done all the way has not been lost, and it can be put to use now.
The two of them each carried a backpack and walked slowly behind the tribesmen.
It didn't take long for them to reach the foot of the mountain, and they continued to walk a little higher.
At this time, Yu Xiaoxiao noticed that several aunts and ladies were looking back at them from time to time. Sure enough, after a while, a kind-hearted old lady walked out of the crowd.
When he came to the mother and daughter, he said in a gentle tone: "Niang Yun, do you still recognize me?"
Mother Yu smiled and nodded, stretched out her hand to support the old man and said, "The second old lady is joking. I don't recognize anyone, so I have to recognize you."
The old lady patted the back of Yu’s mother’s hand and said slightly embarrassedly: “Yun Niang…”
Mother Yu looked at the second old lady who was very embarrassed and didn't understand what she meant: "Second old lady, what's the trouble?"
The second old lady made up her mind and said shamelessly: "Yun Niang, for my sake, can you teach me how to knit this thing you are carrying on your back?"
Yu's mother didn't expect to ask this. She was clumsy and hadn't learned it yet. How could she teach others? She couldn't give an answer, so she could only look at Yu Xiaoxiao calmly.
Yu Xiaoxiao had been looking at them, so she naturally received Yu’s mother’s eyes immediately and nodded slightly in agreement.
Mother Yu then smiled and said, "Second Madam, you have to ask my daughter about this. I am a useless mother and I haven't learned it yet."
Mother Yu then smiled and said, "Second Madam, you have to ask my daughter about this. I am a useless mother and I haven't learned it yet."
The second lady looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and was very surprised: "Long Yue?"
Yu Xiaoxiao smiled at the second madam and said nothing.
Yu's mother continued: "Thanks to my daughter's care along the way, I am able to live safely until now."
The second old lady naturally responded and praised: "This is also your blessing, Yun Niang. Alas, it is also a hardship for her. We adults can be regarded as prosperous and blessed for half a lifetime. We have enjoyed all the blessings we deserve. It is pity that the children have to endure hardships with us." ."
These words made Yu's mother feel very sour in her heart. She thought of her daughter again and wondered if she had been reincarnated now...
But on the surface, she showed great agreement and agreed with the second lady.
The second old lady still remembered what her purpose was. After chatting with Yu's mother for a few words, she changed the topic to Yu Xiaoxiao.
"Long Yue, Second Grandma, would you please teach your aunts and sisters?"
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Second Grandma, do you want to start teaching me now?"
The second old lady nodded: "Just teach me now, you will need it later."
"Second Grandma, we don't have any tools at hand now, and vines are hard to find. Can we just use weeds to weave them first?"
"Okay, okay, we all listen to you. We will do whatever you say."
What Yu Xiaoxiao was waiting for was this sentence: "Okay, then I'll ask Second Grandma to ask everyone to find a small stone, and look for this kind of long grass like I did. Pick some that are older and not easy to tear, and tie the roots together." Break it into pieces and use it to make this kind of backpack."
After understanding this, the second wife waved to the eldest daughter-in-law and quickly asked her to make arrangements. After everyone made arrangements, they quickly dispersed and got busy.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't let Yu's mother follow her. She took her to look around and found an edible wild vegetable nearby. She squatted down and picked it.
To be honest, these wild vegetables are a bit old, but Yu Xiaoxiao has used his spiritual sense to detect the nearby vegetables, and there is nothing relatively tender anymore.
If you don't take it, you can only go to the mountains.
But they were not familiar with this place, and she didn't want to stand out. Besides, they had gotten a lot of food along the way, so there was no need to take risks.
Another point is that her cheap father is not worth it. He likes to eat these old wild vegetables, and he will be hungry if he doesn't eat them. She doesn't want to spoil him.
Yu's mother naturally learned how to distinguish between tender and not tender wild vegetables during this period. When she first picked them, she was obviously frowning, but after a while, a smile appeared on her face, obviously thinking of something. .
After the second lady watched for a while, she came over again. Seeing the mother and daughter digging wild vegetables, she naturally asked for advice.
She had never seen this kind of wild vegetable before. After asking if it was edible, she dug up one as a sample and took it to other members of the tribe.
In about two-quarters of an hour, the materials for weaving the straw basket were almost collected, and the second old lady came over to invite the two of them.
Yu Xiaoxiao and Yu's mother followed them over and taught them how to braid it. Some ingenious people can master the trick immediately after reading it. Although the braided braid is not particularly beautiful, it is completely usable.
Some of them are well knitted, and some are not knitted well. Their finished products are terrible, and some are even worse than the first time Yu’s mother knitted them. They will basically fall apart if they move.
