In the morning of the next day, the people of the village started to move. They carried their bags on them and brought their families with them as they gathered at the threshing floor. The village chief looked around, but did not see Liu Zhimo and the others.

"Depart..." He called out to the villagers and led the way. The villagers followed behind him as they walked out of the village in a grandiose manner.

However, Auntie Huang did not see Li Qingling and the others, so she was quite worried.

Without waiting for her to speak, she carried a huge backpack and ran back to Li Qingling's house.

"Xiao Ling, are you home?"

Li Qinglin heard Auntie Huang's voice and hurried to open the door. When she saw Auntie Huang panting with a bundle on her back, she was surprised, "Auntie, what happened?" Shouldn't they be on their way by now? Why was Auntie Huang still here?

Auntie Huang took two deep breaths and held onto the door frame as she looked at Li Qingling, "We're almost on our way, why aren't you guys done packing?"

Knowing that Auntie Huang was worried about them, Li Qingling was moved in her heart, "Aunt, you know the situation in our family. If you really follow them to escape, who knows what might happen? It would be better to stay, and perhaps there is a chance of survival. " Just based on the fact that they had two little sisters at home, it was impossible for them to escape with them.

Thinking about Li Qingling's family situation, Auntie Huang fell silent for a moment, "Alright then! "Then I'll be leaving first. You guys be careful." She turned to leave.

Li Qingling called out to her and ran back into the house. She took out a bag of buns and stuffed it into Auntie Huang's hands for them to eat on the way there.

When Auntie Huang saw him, she pushed him away saying no, there was food in her house.

"Take it. I've done a lot." Li Qingling shoved the food into Auntie Huang's hands, "Be careful when you're on the road. When you're eating, you have to eat secretly, don't let anyone snatch it away." They were all fleeing for their lives, so they definitely did not have much to eat on the road. If they saw someone else eating, they would definitely fight over it if they were too hungry.

Auntie Huang nodded with reddened eyes. She picked up the bun Li Qingling gave her and ran off.

Looking at the distant Auntie Huang, Li Qingling felt an inexplicable sense of sadness. She wondered if they would ever have the chance to meet again.

She slowly let out a sigh, closed the courtyard door, and walked into the house. Looking at the children, she asked, "Have you packed your things?" They were also going to the Matsuyama today.

Since this village was now empty, it would be too obvious if they stayed. Leaving today would be the best choice.

The children were all infected by this atmosphere. They quietly nodded and said that they were ready.

Li Qingling nodded in satisfaction and turned around to check if there was anything she had missed.

"You can't get that much just by packing so many things, can you?" Liu Zhimo looked at Li Qingling and spoke out.

Li Qingling wanted to bring her chickens and rabbits to the Matsuyama. With so many of them, how could she take them all with him?

"It's fine, I'll just make one more trip." Li Qingling answered without turning her head around. She was a little reluctant to let go of those chicks and rabbits, it would be better to bring her to Matsuyama to be reared.

When Liu Zhimo heard her reply, he was a little worried.

"No need, you can just put those chickens on this hill. Don't bring them over, just kill the big chickens and rabbits. Make it into the cured meat and leave to eat slowly."

Li Qingling paused for a moment, then frowned, they had already killed a majority of the chickens and rabbits last night, there was still a small portion of rabbits that they did not.

"No, let's follow what we discussed before!" She knew that Liu Zhimo was worried about her, so she comforted him. "It's alright, even if King Nan Yan wanted to attack, it wouldn't be that fast!" Since they were in such a remote area, they might not even be able to hit them!

Knowing Li Qingling's stubbornness, Liu Zhimo didn't say anymore, but in his heart, he just silently decided that he must bring more when he brings things with him.

Knowing that Liu Zhimo had compromised, Li Qingling heaved a sigh of relief. She stood up and said that she would go cook, and after eating, she would set off.

Liu Zhimo also went to help out.

Li Qingling urged the children to eat their meals quickly. After they finished eating, it was time for them to leave.

She carried Li Qingning and fed her egg soup. Luckily, was able to eat supplementary food now, even if she didn't eat goat's milk it was fine.

Otherwise, he really didn't know what to do.

After eating, they rested for an hour before preparing to set off for Matsuyama.

Li Qingfeng and Liu Zhiyan were carrying their own sisters on their backs, so Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo brought the clothes along with them.

Li Qingfeng looked at the house that he had not stayed in for a long time, his eyes turning red, he asked Li Qingling choked with sobs, when would they be able to return?

Li Qingling comforted him as she rubbed Li Qingfeng's head. After this disaster, he would be back.

As she said this, her heart was filled with uncertainty. She didn't know when this disaster would last or when they would return.

She wasn't even sure if they could survive.

At this moment, her mood became very heavy.

Seeing her like that, Liu Zhimo shook her hand, indicating that no matter what, he would definitely be by her side.

Feeling a little better, Li Qingling smiled at Liu Zhimo, locked the door, and the family set off.

They did not dare take the main road, and only took the more remote paths. The whole family walked and stopped, and it took them a full five hours to reach the Matsuyama.

Li Qingling breathed in heavily and laughed out loud. She finally saw hope.

"Alright, we are already at Matsuyama. Let's rest here for a while, eat something, then go in!"

She put down her things and went to help Li Qingfeng and the others carry her sister down, saying a few words of encouragement.

The children were very obedient, very sensible, and not noisy. This made her feel very gratified.

"Elder sister, is Tiger here?" Liu Zhirou pulled at Li Qingling's clothes, raising her small head and asked.

Li Qingling squatted down and kissed her cheeks, "Big sister doesn't know either. Why don't you just call Tiger gently and see if it will come out?" Tiger went missing for a few days from time to time, and she was used to it, so she wasn't as worried as she was in the beginning.

Hearing that, Liu Zhirou shouted loudly, "Ah Huang, Ah Huang, are you here?" That childish voice echoed in the mountains.

She shouted until her saliva was dry, but there was no trace of Tiger. She was a little depressed. "Tiger isn't here."

Li Qingling rubbed her little head, just as she was about to console her, she heard a loud tiger roar.

After a while, a familiar voice came rushing down from the mountain. Liu Zhirou's eyes lit up when she saw the voice and excitedly called out to Ah Huang.

Ah Huang rushed in front of Liu Zhirou, and licked her little face, making her giggle. It ran over to make love with the others, then ran back again, and looked at Li Qingling with its watery eyes.

Li Qingling hugged it, and laughed: "We are also going to live here now, we can finally have your company." She told it everything as if it were a child.

As if it had understood something, it let out another cry of excitement.

At home, Li Qingling was afraid that it would scare the villagers, she was not allowed to call it that, so she obediently suppressed it.

"Alright, stop screaming. We are tired. After eating, we will enter the deep forest again." Li Qingling patted Ah Huang's head again, and turned around to prepare some food. After arriving at Matsuyama, she did not plan to eat anymore, but because she was afraid to, she decided to eat a good meal. After all, they had already slaughtered so many chickens and rabbits, it was enough for them to eat.

Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo worked together and quickly cooked a meal.

When the children smelled the fragrance, they almost drooled.

They rushed to Matsuyama, and along the way, they ate steamed buns until their mouths were light. At this moment, they smelled the fragrance of the food, and the gluttony in their stomachs had already come out.

"Hurry up and come over to eat!" Li Qingling waved goodbye and scooped up some chicken and rabbit meat for Tiger to eat.

When Ah Huang was at Matsuyama, he would only eat raw food. As long as he returned, he would never eat raw food, he must definitely eat with Li Qingling and the others.

Li Qingling and the others were already used to it.

They had a beautiful meal at Matsuyama's place, then sat there for a while before continuing their journey deeper into the forest.

When they reached the cave that Li Qingling had discovered, Li Qingling told them to stay at the bottom of the cave, so she went up to take a look.

She was afraid that some wild beast would enter.

Liu Zhimo told her to be careful, he nodded, took his bow and arrow, and went up. When she went in, she found that the inside of the cave was no different from the last time she came here.

She went to check again and found that her stock of food had not decreased. When she saw this, she heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's the same as before. Nothing different. I'll clean up this place first, then you guys come up." She said this to Liu Zhimo and the others with a smile, then turned around and went back in.

Liu Zhimo told the children to stay below and Tiger to watch them, so he climbed up to help.

Seeing that he had come, Li Qingling did not say anything, but just smiled and said, luckily the space here was large enough for them to live together.

When Liu Zhimo entered, he saw the food piled at the corner, and his eyes almost popped out. "You … You secretly stashed so much food? " Their family would definitely be able to survive the drought.

"Mm, I've spent all the money in the family." She dragged it back bit by bit. It really wasn't easy. "You're not going to blame me for spending all my money, are you?"
