Chapter 85

The next morning, one person distributed a pastry, and the water given was all the water left in the pot when the pastry was steamed, and one person only had half a bowl, so there was really no extra firewood to boil the water.

When Yunyi came back, he handed the food to Xiao Chenrui: "Eat quickly, it's time to set off in a while."

Xiao Chenrui glanced at the sky: "Sister, I'm afraid there will be snow today. I just heard from the yamen that there is no food and grass there, and I must be on the road again today."

Yunyi didn't answer him, put the charcoal in the small pottery stove and lit it, went out with the sand pot and came back, seeing that Xiao Chenrui had eaten two pastries, he handed over two more.

Xiao Chenrui looked outside, and then whispered: "Sister, save it first, in case it snows this day, if you can't find a place to supply at night, this is life-saving food."

Yunyi whispered: "Eat, my sister still has some food here, it's not a problem for the three of us to last for two or three days, don't worry."

After he finished speaking, he handed him two pieces of jerky: "Get it and eat it when you're hungry."

After the two of them finished their meal, they filled the water bladder. In order to save the charcoal, they took the snow and put out the charcoal fire. As soon as they were cleaned up, the gong sounded again.

It’s only just a few days now, and the team set off again, but it started to snow before they got far, and many people scolded God for not giving them a way to survive.

The officials have already banged on the gong to announce that there is no ration now, so today we have to rush to Hanli Village, which is 70 miles away. Only when we get there can we buy food and grass, otherwise we will die.

So today, apart from stopping for a quarter of an hour at noon to feed the animals and relieve them, they were on their way all the time. Some people even ran out of fodder and wanted to buy some from the officials, but unfortunately there were not many officers and soldiers, so they had to keep their own. use.

When we set off again, from time to time, the animals were overwhelmed and fell to the ground, and the people in the car had to get down and walk, and the sound of crying and screaming was endless.

Those officers and soldiers are too lazy to take care of them, anyway, it’s alright not to delay the trip.

Xiao's family had no fodder, and several horses could not walk, and their bodies began to shake.

Xiao Renli finally had no choice, so he sent Xiao Yunshan to look for sister and brother Yunyi, hoping to borrow some fodder for the big house.

Xiao Chenrui said directly: "Where did we get the extra forage, you are looking in the wrong place."

Xiao Yunshan brought back the original words. An angry Xiao Renli wanted to scold someone, but he had to compromise and personally came over to find the Yunyi sister and brother to betray her miserably.

In order not to be criticized by the three brothers and sisters in the future, Yun Yi said, "Uncle, we don't have much fodder left, but out of filial piety, today we can take care of the fodder for grandfather and grandmother's carts and horses, and nothing else. already."

Xiao Renli thought that this Yun Yi is really a ghost and a ghost, and the calculation is really clear, but he can only agree, he can't let his father and mother come down and walk.

As soon as Xiao Renli left, Xiao Chenrui asked, "Sister, why did you agree?"

Yunyi handed over three more pieces of jerky: "This is going to the northern border soon, and I will live in the same place in the future. No one may say anything now, but I can't guarantee that someone will talk about this in the future.

Besides, I can't really watch my grandfather and grandmother walking in the snow. It's fine for my grandfather, but my grandmother was kind to us. She secretly gave us 30 taels of silver before. Woolen cloth? "

Xiao Chenrui nodded: "Okay, I'll feed that horse myself, so that they don't care about our fodder."
