Traveling through the famine, there is space for the daughter-in-law of the farm

Zhao Yunning's prediction was indeed accurate. The team never encountered a bamboo forest again, and the dew collected in the coniferous forest was only enough to moisten everyone's mouths.

The water was so scarce that everyone had to save it for drinking on the road.

Without Qingyu to serve, Susie has completely lost her ladylike appearance. Her hair is messy, her face is sallow, her mouth is chapped, and her head is filled with clear and sweet spring water.

On the other hand, Qingyu, who doesn't have to take care of Su Qian, looks pretty good, has neatly combed hair, clean clothes, and delicate appearance, but looks more like Miss Su's family.

The carriage in front suddenly stopped, and the soldier shouted: "Rest."

Everyone sat down and took out bamboo tubes to drink water.

Susie opened the bamboo tube, but there was not a drop of it. The little dew that had accumulated in the morning made her feel bored.

Qingyu knew that water was precious, so when she was really thirsty on the way, she would take a small sip to moisten her mouth.

Now that Su Qian has no water to drink, Qing Yu enjoys eating dry food while drinking water, which is undoubtedly a strong stimulation to her.

Susie stood up angrily, walked towards Qingyu, and demanded domineeringly: "Bring it here!"

Qing Yu fearfully handed over the bamboo tube, and Su Qian drank it in two gulps. Still dissatisfied with the lack of water, she gave Qing Yu a fierce look and threw the bamboo tube heavily on the ground.

Qingyu picked up the bamboo tube aggrievedly, biting the pancake with difficulty without saying a word.

After taking two bites, her throat went dry and she couldn't eat anymore.

"Give."

Zhu Zhaoying and Li Sheng noticed her dilemma at the same time and handed their bamboo tubes to her.

Qingyu was very touched by everyone's kindness.

But when she drinks their water, they have no water.

Qingyu smiled and shook her head, "Thank you, I'm not thirsty now, you can drink."

As soon as she finished speaking, Susie suddenly appeared from behind and ordered her: "Bring it to me!"

Qingyu has served Su Qian for so many years, and fear has long been engraved in her bones.

But this water is not hers, nor is it for Susie.

Qingyu opened her mouth weakly: "No, no."

Qingyu dared to resist her, Su Qian's eyes widened angrily, "My mother used you to make me angry, you really think you are a Miss Su family, shameless bitch."

Of course Qingyu knew that if Meng Chanjuan had not had a dispute with Su Qian, she would never have become the adopted daughter of the Su family.

But none of this was her choice.

Qingyu lowered her head, not daring to refute.

Zhu Zhaoying couldn't stand it any longer, and his sharp eyes fell on Su Qian's face, "You haven't been beaten enough, have you?"

Su Qian felt a dull pain in her butt reflexively, fearing that Zhu Zhaoying would call Zhao Yunning and get an excuse to hit her again.

Before running away, he did not forget to bluffly warn Qingyu: "When we get to Guangling, I will sell you out!"

Qingyu remained silent, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

It is said that young ladies from wealthy families are well-educated and sensible. Li Sheng saw that Su Qian was no different from a shrew, and sympathized with Qing Yu. He couldn't help but blurt out, "If they really want to sell you, I will redeem you!"

Qingyu's face was visibly red, and Zhu Zhaoying squinted at him warily. Li Sheng realized later that he had said something that could easily be misunderstood.

He quickly explained to Qingyu, "I, I just want to help you. I have no other intention. Don't get me wrong."

It's okay that Li Sheng didn't explain. Thinking about his recent care for Qingyu, once he explained it, it felt like he was trying to hide it.

Qingyu was so ashamed that her head almost dropped into the dust. Zhu Zhaoying was afraid that she would be deceived, so he picked her up like a wolf, leaving Li Sheng alone with the bamboo tube messy in the wind.

He... really didn't mean that.

The lack of water led to a surge in the number of people suffering from heat stroke in the team. Qiu Yanwen picked herbs for everyone in the woods and discovered an edible wild fruit.

It looks like a lantern, and when you peel it off, the yellow fruit shines like a gem.

It tastes sour and sweet, with a slight milky aroma, making it one of the most delicious wild fruits.

He and Ming Hongzi used to go into the mountains and often see this kind of fruit.

There were only two plants at his feet. Qiu Yanwen picked them cleanly, and there were only twelve.

He preciously held it in his hand and hesitated for a moment. He thought that Zhao Yunning was his lifesaver and he should repay him. He mustered up the courage to come to Zhao Yunning's carriage and said carefully: "I found some fruits. They taste good."

But, the weather is hot, the princess can quench her thirst."

Mo Huajing sat next to Zhao Yunning. He had no expression on his face and looked at him with a calm look, but he had an aura of calmness and dignity. Qiu Yanwen's hand holding the fruit froze.

Zhao Yunning was surprised that Qiu Yanwen could still find wild fruits, and his eyes showed surprise: "Thank you, it's not easy for you to find these. I only need five."

Qiu Yanwen subconsciously glanced at Mo Hua and felt that the air pressure around him was getting lower.

The two light gray eyes are like an abyss that can swallow people.

A chill ran down his spine, and he nodded in panic, sorting out the five largest wild fruits, not daring to come into contact with Zhao Yunning, hugging them with a handkerchief, placing them gently on the ground, and hurriedly said goodbye.

He ran away as if he had seen a ghost. Zhao Yunning glanced at Mo Hua suspiciously. Mo Hua had already suppressed the anger in his eyes, but when he felt her gaze, he showed a slightly doubtful look.

Zhao Yunning felt that he might be overthinking it, so he picked up the wild fruit, looked at it, sniffed it, peeled it off and stuffed it into his mouth first, then stuffed it into his own mouth. He tasted the sweet and sour taste and squinted his eyes.

He smiled and said, "It's quite delicious, what do you think?" He stuffed another one into Mo Hua's mouth.

Mo Hua nodded obediently, his eyes narrowed slightly, but the muscles on the side of his face were particularly prominent.

The dew collected was no longer enough to moisturize the mouth. When everyone was severely dehydrated, Zhao Yunning planned to find an opportunity to bring out the mineral water from the space for emergency use, but suddenly a dry riverbed appeared in front of him.

The victims dug holes in the river bed, leaving the river bed devastated, but no one found any water.

They knelt on the ground dejectedly and shouted: "God, please make some rain and save us!"

This riverbed is very large, and it stands to reason that we should be able to dig out water.

Zhao Yunning observed carefully and found that they were digging in the wrong place.

Zhao Yunning thought for a while and said to Liu Congzhen, "I read in a book that it is very possible to find underground water at the lowest point of the outer bend of the river bed. Let's give it a try."

Liu Congzhen was used to following Zhao Yunning's advice and nodded, "Okay! Let's give it a try!"

The local people saw them pouring into the river bed, and they tried to persuade them: "Don't waste your energy, there won't be water, hurry up and look for a way to survive!"

If they weren't old and weak, they would be a drag on their family members and they would have fled.

Zhao Yunning smiled at the elderly people and said, "Maybe there will be."

Shopkeeper Qian is now Zhao Yunning's loyal fan, and said with certainty: "Our county and our young lady are very lucky. With God's blessing, we will definitely be able to dig water!"

The old people shook their heads, with expressions on their faces that they would suffer a loss if they didn't listen to the old people's words.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yunning took everyone to go straight to the lowest point outside the river bed. After a while, everyone cheered: "Water !!!"
