Chapter 93 Then why don’t you leave together?

"Well, I know."

Tao Xi nodded, just because he felt uncomfortable, but it didn't affect his emotions too much.

As they walked along, they passed a small village. The village was quiet and there were many houses, but there seemed to be no other people in the village.

Maybe everyone fled together like them.

Li Zheng said he would stay here tonight and let everyone find a place to repair.

Tao Xi stopped the bullock cart, and suddenly, she felt a line of sight looking closely at her.

She raised her eyes slightly and found that the door of a house was locked, but through the papered window, she could vaguely tell that there was someone in the house.

"I'll go over and take a look."

Tao Xi walked towards the house first, followed closely by Jian Shiming. Seeing their figures, the people by the window seemed to be hiding.

Tao Xi raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Hello, we passed by your village while fleeing. Are all the people in your village fleeing too?"

The drought in this area was probably severe before, but it has improved somewhat recently, but the local people have already left their homes.

There was no movement inside, and perhaps he was still a little wary of her, so Tao Xi spoke again.

"I just want to ask you about the situation nearby. It's okay if it's inconvenient."

She sighed quietly, and turned around with Jian Shiming to leave, when suddenly a hoarse voice came out, which seemed to be that of a young man.

"Everyone has fled, and we are the only family left in the village."

Jian Shiming and Tao Xi looked at each other, and this time it was Jian Shiming who spoke.

"Then why don't you leave together?"

"I……"

The door of the house was suddenly opened, and a woman who looked not quite right came out. The woman was dressed in tatters, her eyes were dull, and she showed a weird smile.

"Sir, please come inside!"

"mother!"

A young man suddenly ran out from inside and grabbed the woman who was in a daze.

The young man was about fourteen or fifteen years old. He was probably very hungry and his whole body was swollen. He looked at Tao Xi and Jian Shiming with defensive eyes.

The woman shook off her son's hand, and the boy fell to the ground as soon as she shook him off, looking extremely weak.

"How are you?"

Tao Xi just wanted to help him, but he didn't expect Jian Shiming to be one step ahead of her and help the boy who fell on the ground up.

The young man lowered his eyes and glanced helplessly at the woman beside him who was biting her fingers.

"Thank you, but as you saw, my mother is mentally disturbed and my father is paralyzed in bed.

It’s not that our family doesn’t want to run away, it’s that we simply can’t leave the village.”

Young Wang Zhou glanced inside the house. Tao Xi and the others followed his line of sight and saw a person lying on the roof of the house.

The distance was a bit far, and Tao Xi couldn't see much clearly, and he was too embarrassed to disturb them, so he just said:

"Thanks."

"If you want to rest, you can go to the house next door. That is my second uncle's house. They have all fled."

Wang Zhou grabbed his mother, who had dull eyes, took her into the house and quickly closed the door.

Apparently he was still a little wary of them.

Tao Xi was not angry and drove the bullock cart to the nearby mud house. Jian Erni said positively:

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to clean up the house."

"I'll help too."

Jian Shiyi jumped off the bullock cart, but Jian Shiwu was the only one sitting on the bullock cart, feeling lost.

His legs and feet have recovered a lot, but he doesn't need much strength. Jian Shiming stood next to the bullock cart.

"Second brother, let me help you."

"good."

Jian Shiwu's eyes were red, but fortunately because he was so thin, it was not difficult for Jian Shiming to help him.

Tao Xi moved the things from their oxcart into the renovated house one by one. People's hearts were unpredictable, and she didn't dare to bet on their food.

Jian Erni quickly tidied up the house, but the cow made Tao Xi worried.

"You can't bring this cow into the house. I really don't feel comfortable leaving it outside."

"Many people want our cattle."

Jian Erni curled her lips. Don't think that she couldn't understand the envious looks in other people's eyes. It was because of this that she had to watch Niu.

"How about I don't sleep at night and just guard the cows."

"No, you have to take a good rest."

Tao Xi quickly refused, she thought carefully, and Jian Shiming suddenly spoke.

"I see they also have cowsheds in their backyard. Let's set up a small mechanism like the one you set up before in the cowsheds.

Whenever someone comes in, we can hear the sound."

"You're right."

Tao Xi's eyes lit up slightly, he was really running away like crazy, his brain was no longer as good as before.

Just do what you say, Tao Xi set up a small trap at the cowshed. As long as someone approaches and wants to enter, they will step on the pit.

And whenever the cow comes out of the cowshed, the bell she hangs on it will ring.

After making such arrangements, Jian Erni pulled some grass and fed it to the cows, and the whole family stayed in the same room.

Dinner was steamed sweet potatoes, and Tao Xi couldn't bear to think of the hungry and bloated young boy just now.

Thinking of their bags of food again, she remained silent.

After everyone finished eating, Tao Xi excused himself to go out to relieve himself and quietly took some sweet potatoes and potatoes from the space.

Not many, just a few, and then knocked on Wang Zhou's door.

"What's up?"

Wang Zhou weakly opened the door, his eyes even darker than before.

"for you."

Tao Xi stuffed sweet potatoes and potatoes into his hand, "We don't have much food left, so we can only give you so much."

This young man stayed in this land where no grass could grow for his parents, which moved Tao Xi a little.

"Thanks!"

Wang Zhou's eyes turned red as he looked at the sweet potatoes and potatoes in his hands. His relatives all despised his parents as a burden and quietly ran away with their family on their backs when they fled.

But they are just strangers, but they are willing to share some food with them.

"Oh, this world is difficult, please take good care of yourself."

Tao Xi didn't dare to stay too long, not wanting others to see her cautious appearance.

After all, Tao Xi was always careful because he was pregnant with a jade. When he returned to the house, everyone except Jian Shiming lay down on the cave and fell asleep.

This period of time was so exhausting that we were finally able to lie down and have a good rest. Everyone almost fell into bed and fell asleep.

But even so, they were considerate enough to leave sleeping space for Tao Xi and Jian Shiming.

This cave is very big, and it is more than enough for several people to sleep upright. Jian Shiming was sorting out his books, and when he saw her coming in, he whispered:

"Have a good rest, we will continue our journey tomorrow."

"Um."

Tao Xi lay down on Jian Erni's side and suddenly realized that the place they had reserved seemed to be on her side.

That is to say!

Will Jian Shiming want to sleep next to her later?

Tao Xi panicked immediately, this... this was so embarrassing!

Although they are a couple, this couple is as good as plastic!

Thinking of this, Tao Xi, who originally wanted to sneak into the space, did not dare to move for a moment. She quickly turned sideways to face Jian Erni.

Wait, when Jian Shiming falls asleep, she will secretly go to work in space.

Tao Xi held his breath, a little nervous, and his palms were sweaty.

Fortunately, Jian Shiming was not in a hurry. He carefully placed the books in the bamboo box one by one with gentle and pious movements.
