After dinner, Xiang Jiuling found a quiet place to sit down and entered her consciousness space to check. When she heard [Survival Point 1], it confirmed her guess.

This survival point corresponds to the time she lived in ancient times, and it will increase by 1 for every additional day. As for its function, it needs to be studied slowly.

Nowadays, the weather is slowly getting cooler, and the temperature at night has dropped even more sharply. The large temperature difference between day and night makes it easier to get sick.

What's more important is that they have no fixed place to stay on the road to escape, and sleeping in the mountains and forests makes them feel heavy in the night. Moreover, they don't have enough equipment to keep out the cold. It's impossible not to get sick if they continue like this.

Feeling a gust of cool breeze blowing, Xiang Jiuling shivered unconsciously. Just as he was thinking about whether to get some medicine from the space for the family to take, his body suddenly felt warm.

She turned around and met Wen Xi's clear eyes, which reflected her whole body, and her heart skipped a beat unconsciously.

Seeing Xiang Jiuling avert her eyes, Wen Xi couldn't help but be startled, and then regained her composure.

"It's cold at night, and you'll get cold easily if you sit in the wind. You did a great job today!"

What did you do well?

Xiang Jiuling was a little confused and didn't understand why this man suddenly said this. Then he thought of what happened in the past two days and couldn't help laughing.

Just as he was about to speak, two coughs suddenly came from behind him. It was Erbao who had just come out.

Xiang Jiuling frowned subconsciously, and quickly called Erbao over and touched his head. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever yet. It would have been a disaster if he had a fever at this time.

He and Wen Xi looked at each other, and they understood each other tacitly.

"Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, we have to find a way to get some clothes for the children!"

The two adults couldn't stand the weather, let alone the three children.

But now that even food and safety are problems, where can we find clothes?

Occasionally, you can see the corpses of refugees on the road, but the clothes of these dead people are not safe. If they are infected with any virus, it will be more than worth the loss.

"Okay, I'll look around tomorrow. If I can find some wild animals, I can skin them to keep out the cold!"

That's what he said, but this beast is so easy to find. Not to mention whether the injured Wen Xi has the ability to compete with the beast, he still has to be careful of people's hearts in troubled times.

However, it is better to have hope than nothing. After discussing it, the two decided to go into the mountains together tomorrow.

One night, the two of them got up early and ate something simple. After giving instructions to Dabao, they were ready to set off.

Since Xiang Jiuling's family subdued the traffickers and rescued several children in the village, the villagers have been very friendly and respectful to them, especially the village chief, who has been very courteous to their family, so they are not worried about leaving three children behind.

.

Of course, this was also Xiang Jiuling's first time going deep into the mountains. Before, he had only hunted some small animals in the surrounding area to satisfy his hunger. He didn't know if he would actually encounter any large beasts.

It should be said that Xiang Jiuling was not afraid of these things in the past, but now her physical fitness needs to be strengthened. If she faces a fierce beast now, she really has no confidence that she can escape unscathed.

Wen Xi, who was walking in front, had been paying attention to Xiang Jiuling's expression. He saw that her brows were slightly furrowed and she was obviously a little nervous. He also remembered how quickly and accurately she killed people, and he became even more confused about what kind of person she was.

The fog gets thicker as we go further into the mountains. The jungle covered by tall trees has not seen sunlight for a long time, and the forest exudes a strong rotten smell and moisture.

Wen Xi stopped unconsciously and said, "Let's just take a look around here!"

"good!"

Xiang Jiuling smiled and spoke in a gentle tone.

This voice made Wen Xi startled, and he felt a little enlightened. Ever since Xiang Jiuling married him and experienced these things, it was rare for the two of them to have such a tacit understanding.

These days, he has been watching Xiang Jiuling's changes, and suddenly felt that Xiang Jiuling like this was... pretty good!

The two of them didn't go any further, so they searched nearby to see if there was anything edible. After taking a few steps, they smelled an unpleasant stench.

The rotten and damp smell in the forest was already strong, but this smell was even more pungent. The two couldn't help but look at each other and covered their mouths and noses unbearably.

"What a rotten smell!"

With such a strong putrid smell, the obvious object must be a large corpse.

The two of them followed the origin of the smell one after the other. They pushed aside a large piece of hay and saw the corpses of several wild wolves. It was obvious that these corpses were rotting and many flies were hovering on them.

When Xiang Jiuling was a mercenary, he had to survive and kill a lot of ferocious beasts in the jungle. At this moment, he just frowned slightly and felt sick.

Wen Xi strode closer to check the situation, "These wolves seem to have been bitten to death by some ferocious beasts. The degree of decomposition is not high, and the fur on their bodies can still be used!"

I didn't expect to get an unexpected harvest as soon as I went out. These wolf skins can be peeled back to keep out the cold.

Xiang Jiuling naturally agreed with this point. He quickly took out a knife from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Xi. He took the other one and skinned another wolf.

Wen Xi was stunned when she got the knife. The knife was extremely sharp and well-made. How could a woman like her get such a good knife?

Xiang Jiuling didn't pay attention to Wen Xi's eyes. She took the knife from the consciousness space. Naturally, it was beyond the reach of the craftsmanship of this era. However, she didn't think much about it, but quickly skinned off the wolf skin under her hand.

Come down.

Wen Xi was even more shocked to see this smooth movement. He didn't expect that Xiang Jiuling could peel the skin faster than him.

Soon, the two of them peeled off the skins of several wolves. It can be said that they were blessed by God. They really did whatever they wanted.

Several wolves were obviously killed by large beasts. It was not suitable to stay here for a long time. The two of them took the wolf skins and quickly left.

Fortunately, Wen Xi had made preparations when he arrived. He wrapped the wolf skin in a piece of oilcloth and hid it behind his back so that nothing could be seen.

After all, the weather is getting colder and colder now, and everyone is hungry and cold while fleeing. Maybe they will have some idea when they see the wolf skin they found, and it would be easier to hide it.

When they returned, the large army had no intention of setting off. After all, there was very little food, and there were people fleeing the famine everywhere. It was difficult for them to find a place where they could stay temporarily, so naturally they had to rest and maintain their strength.

After taking out the wild vegetables stored two days ago and making something to eat, the family had a simple lunch when they heard coughing coming from everywhere.

"Hey, it's so cold today. It makes people feel chilly. I heard that the old lady of the Li family had a high fever for two days in a row. Dr. Liu said there was no hope of saving her. I'm afraid she won't survive more than two days!"

"Zhen Zhenzhen, I'm cold and hungry, I don't know how long I can last!"

Xiang Jiuling couldn't help but feel a little worried when she heard the conversations among the villagers. After all, they were now following the large army, and everyone's situation was similar. If this continued, even if they could survive, the number of people here would have to be reduced by more than half.

Since ancient times, people died of hunger all over the country during famines, and there was nothing she could do!
