After dressing as a superb old woman, I am bound to the power system

"Take it! After walking for so long, you should be hungry. Only when you are full will you have the strength to go on. If you can walk out, remember to return the cake to me in the future." Duan Mingchen said.

The little girl hesitated again and again, but still didn't take it.

Duan Mingchen saw this and directly took her hand and stuffed it into her hand, "Take it, don't let anyone take it away!"

"This journey is very long and cannot be completed in a day or two. Only by walking out can you survive." After Duan Mingchen said this, he jogged a few steps to keep up with the convoy.

Duan Mingjing opened the window and happened to see Duan Mingchen running back, so he couldn't help but poke his head out and look back.

"Fourth brother, we don't have much food at home, why do you always give this food to beggars on the roadside!"

Duan Mingchen: "Second brother, what you give me is my own portion. Being hungry is also my own business."

The implication is that he hopes Duan Mingjing will leave him alone.

Duan Mingjing was a little angry when he heard this, but he was too tired to discipline his younger brother too much.

The Duan family walked all the way until it got dark before stopping.

In the wilderness, there are no houses where you can stay, but fortunately you are well prepared and can make your own fire, boil water and cook food.

Duan Mingchen secretly glanced a few times along the way. The little girl had been following them. When he saw the carriage stopped, he also sat down not far from the fire.

Along the way, I didn't see the little girl's carriage leaving.

The carriage was painted with vermilion paint and engraved with various auspicious animals, so he must have belonged to an official family.

It's just that at this time, there is no need for any official, and a disaster is coming, and I can't protect myself.

There were also people resting in twos and threes on the roadside. Some had rested here for a long time, and some also stopped after seeing the Duan family parking.

There are many wild animals in the mountains and forests, and people are safe together.

It's just that it's dark, so it's not easy to find water.

The Duan family was well prepared and now lit a fire and cooked dinner.

After walking for a day, everyone was already exhausted, and their stomachs were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs.

The family sat silently by the fire, watching Mrs. Wang cooking dinner, each beating their legs.

It hurts! It hurts so much! I have never walked so much road before! Not only my legs hurt, but my waist also hurt. Even if I got in the car and took a break, it would be useless.

Only Qiao Lan kept sitting in the carriage and didn't get off. It wasn't that she didn't want to, it was just that her family wouldn't let her. It didn't matter that she didn't want to walk. If Wang was asked to cook now, she would feel extremely uncomfortable, so she said, "

Let me do it!"

"Mom, I'll do it!"

"Don't fight with me, what? You think my old lady's cooking is not delicious and you can't eat it?"

"How could it be? Mom, everything you do tastes delicious."

"That's right, grandma's cooking is delicious."

A group of people followed and flattered me.

"Then let me do it." Qiao Lan insisted.

The children had sincere admiration after eating Qiao Lan's rice balls, but the young adults in the family knew the profound meaning of Qiao Lan's words.

The daughters-in-law of the Duan family felt that their mother-in-law saw that they were tired and shared some of their burdens with them. The more difficult times are, the better they can tell whether a person is good or bad.

The mother-in-law has a cold face and a warm heart. Although she didn't like them much before, at this time, she can come out to help them do this, which explains everything even more.

They had misunderstood their mother-in-law before!

Everyone sighed when they thought of this.

Duan Mingqing lowered his head and rubbed his legs. The thoughts in his heart were similar to those of others.

I thought that I would encounter a lot of trouble during this escape, but I didn't expect that his mother immediately solved all the troubles and prepared a carriage and food.

Not only did he not scold them harshly, he also prepared meals and straw hats for them.

Duan Mingqing was wondering why Qiao Lan's appearance changed drastically as soon as he left the capital. Is there something wrong with the capital? Or was everything Qiao Lan in the capital just an act to show to others?

Although he couldn't understand it, he was sure that his mother would not harm his wife and children.

Originally, he planned to go out with his wife and daughter after getting married, but then he was delayed by the filial piety period for several years. After finally getting out of the filial piety period, he encountered these things again.

He didn't want to think about the separation of the family for the time being and would discuss it later.

Duan Mingchen didn't think too much. He looked at the petite figure squatting beside the carriage, feeling a little surprised and worried.

He thought this little girl could be lost.

If he loses track of him, he doesn't have to keep looking back and worry whether the little girl has caught up.

Nowadays, people are not lost, but eating, drinking and urinating have become a problem.

How could a little girl survive in this wilderness?

Duan Mingchen completely began to worry.

"Excuse me for disturbing you, ladies and gentlemen. My surname is Chen, and I am following the convoy next to your home. Our master is feeling unwell and needs to make some soup. We didn't bring any fire with us on this journey. Can I borrow a fire from you?"

A man in his thirties who looked like a butler stood in the dark and asked.

After hearing this, everyone looked at Qiao Lan, she was the head of the family.

Qiao Lan was stirring the rice soup in the pot, noticed the eyes of her children, and said quietly, "Borrow it."

The man who looked like a butler hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, thank you!"

While borrowing the fire, he glanced over the Duan family's firewood pile and saw the heavy woodcutter on it.

I couldn't help but murmur a few words in my heart, this family is really well prepared!

The forest was not big, and there were very few people lighting fires. When a light flashed near the Duan family, they roughly understood that the person who borrowed the fire had started a fire.

After a while, the man who looked like a housekeeper came over again.

"Thank you, old lady! My master asked me to send this to you. It's a little thoughtful. I hope you won't refuse."

Everyone looked at Qiao Lan again, waiting for her opinion.

"Take it!"

The butler sent over a brocade bag. Qiao Lan opened the brocade bag and saw that there were a few grains of silver in it, about ten taels of silver.

"So much money?" Duan Mingjing couldn't help but asked in surprise.

In the past, the second master of the Duan family looked down on such small money. He could only buy a bottle of wine for two taels of silver. Whenever he went out to drink, he would usually invite his friends.

If you want to get drunk, you will need at least dozens of taels of silver.

Nowadays, the second master of the Duan family is so poor that he only has a few grains of silver sewn on his clothes. He can't spend the money sewn on his clothes because it is life-saving money.

For the rest, I couldn't even dig out a single copper plate.

Ten taels of silver is too much! Let’s lend a hand!

"Take out the bowl, it's time to eat." Qiao Lan changed the subject.

Although ten taels of silver is a lot, there is no place to buy anything along the way. Although it can be used in the towns behind, the prices will definitely rise a lot.

Being able to give ten taels of silver at a time shows that this family is extremely extraordinary.

Secondly, since they don’t have any discounts, they will have to borrow money if they want to travel together in the next few days.

Qiao Lan felt at ease receiving this money!

But why don't they just buy one?

I had rice soup for dinner. The rice was not boiled very much, but it was boiled to the point where it was edible.
