Mrs. Zhang stood up, took the rice and pushed it into the hands of the sister-in-law.

"That water is my reward for staying at your house for the night. There's nothing I can't thank you for. You'd better take the rice back!"

The sister-in-law pushed back, "I'll cook it for you tonight, otherwise my whole family will feel like I've taken advantage of you and feel uneasy! Water is still so precious now! Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it." "

After saying that, he walked away. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "We'll cook it tonight! You can use my pot and stove as you like!"

Seeing that this man spoke neatly and sincerely, Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to accept it.

As for whether to cook it or not, that's another matter.

They also have rice, because they spend many nights in the wild, and cooking rice is not very convenient. They will cook it only if the children are really hungry.

Since the sister-in-law said that the pot and stove can be used freely, they were not polite.

So everyone put away the dry food they were going to eat and started cooking among themselves.

Dry food is not easy to store due to production problems and hot weather. They eat those that have a short shelf life and become moldy first.

After eating dry food for several days, they were too greedy for rice, so everyone except the children ate a big bowl, and they couldn't stop thinking about it after eating.

The waiter's family hid in the room and watched the Zhang family eating deliciously. They couldn't help but swallow the remaining drool in their smoky throats, and their eyes shone with excitement.

Zhang Shuchuan and Xia Yunrou were not in a hurry to go to bed after dinner, so they sneaked up to the roof to enjoy the evening breeze.

Xia Yunrou always felt weird because she remembered the family's enthusiasm, especially the rice they sent over.

She touched the roof of the master's room and pricked up her ears.

Seeing his wife like this, Zhang Shuchuan knew something was going on and came over quietly.

They eavesdropped just in time.

The family was gathering together and whispering.

Because they were afraid that the walls had ears, they kept their voices low.

Although Xia Yunrou and Zhang Shuchuan listened attentively, they only heard a few words.

Zhang Shuchuan wanted to switch to force mode, but was stopped by Xia Yunrou's eyes.

Xilin people can only be detected when the detection mode is in use.

If the switch was made at this time, they would not be able to ensure that all the elite soldiers from Xilin came over, and they would not know about it immediately.

The Xilin people are much more terrifying and important than this family. Even if this family really wants to attack them, several men from the Zhang family can knock them down in one fell swoop, without the need for Zhang Shuchuan and Xia Yunrou to take action.

Xia Yunrou and Zhang Shuchuan expressionlessly returned to the small courtyard arranged by their Zhang family.

"Sleep!" Xia Yunrou opened her mouth and yawned, then lay down on the bed.

This is a bed made of wooden boards. They can sleep on it by wiping it with a cloth, which is better than sleeping on the ground in the wild.

Although Zhang Shuchuan didn't hear clearly the whispers of the family in the room, he had some vague guesses in his heart.

Seeing that his wife was about to go to bed after returning, he was a little anxious: "Daughter-in-law, I always feel that this family is uneasy and well-intentioned!"

Xia Yunrou muttered: "Don't worry, they won't succeed."

Only then did Zhang Shuchuan realize that his wife must have heard what they said, and she had some concerns in her heart.

Now he can feel at ease.

Damn it, why does something happen almost every night? ! It’s hard to get a good night’s sleep!

He couldn't help but feel happy when he saw his wife snoring the next second after she finished speaking.

But he didn't dare to sleep. He kept his eyes wide open, fearing that he would fall asleep the next second.

Xia Yunrou turned over and rolled her eyes when she saw this silly look.

"Go to sleep! You have to get up in the middle of the night to work!"

Zhang Shuchuan was so excited that he fell asleep.

At night, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The sound of feet hitting the ground, even though it was at its gentlest level, was still clearly heard in Xia Yunrou's ears.

She patted Zhang Shuchuan awake and said in his ear: Come to life. "

Zhang Shuchuan woke up immediately, his eyes sparkling.

The rest of the Zhang family were sleeping soundly, but when there was a noise, they immediately woke up.

"The eldest son is going to search the men for anything valuable, and the eldest daughter-in-law is going to search the women. Be quick!"

The waiter's father held the bundle in his hand, gave instructions softly, and then quickly walked towards the place where the cows and horses were.

The two people who were ordered were the sister-in-law who delivered the rice and his man.

The two of them looked at each other and opened the door to go in.

Behind them was the waiter and his wife, who were carrying bedding and quilts.

They put their bedding and bedding on the oxcart and filled the oxcart to the brim.

"Is this for us?"

A long female voice came from above them, like a female ghost, frightening them so much that they almost screamed.

Before they could take a closer look, the sounds of punching and kicking could be heard in the quiet night.

Only then did they realize in horror that these people had not eaten that bowl of rice!

The sound of punches and kicks didn't last long, and several black figures dragged two things out of the room in the night.

People who didn't know the inside story saw it and thought there was a ghost at night.

Those dark figures were men from the Zhang family, dragging the two people who entered the house to search them.

As they got closer, the family knew what had happened and kept begging for mercy.

It can be said that this is a kind-hearted family on weekdays. The men in this family all have jobs to do. Although the family is not wealthy, they can still have enough to eat and have no worries about food, clothing and housing.

This waiter was originally the liveliest person in the family, otherwise he wouldn't have become a pharmacy clerk at such a young age.

Under this severe drought, even a kind-hearted doctor had to extort the most important water and food before he would treat someone, let alone a little boy like him.

I heard that the Xilin Army had occupied their capital city. Even if they haven't reached their town now, it would be a matter of time.

In addition, his family's water supply was really going to be cut off. After getting the last day's wages, the family planned to flee to the south.

Who knew that when a group of people came down, they could come up with so much water to pay for medicine, and they even had cows and horses!

This gave him the idea of ​​adventure.

If they can get these, they will be more secure going south.

At that time, one person can ride a horse and walk on it for three or four days a day. When the horse is about to die of exhaustion or thirst, he can be resold and can make a lot of money.

Besides, there are still cows and a cart full of things. Are you afraid that there will be nothing on the road? ?

With this thought in mind, he asked tentatively, but he didn't expect that it would actually go as he wished.

He stole datura powder from the drug store, took the Zhang family back to take a look, and secretly told his family what he thought.

Sure enough, everyone in the family agreed.

There is no other way. There is no talk of kindness at this time. I don’t know when my life will be gone.

The family mixed datura powder into rice. They firmly believed that water is so precious now and the family would not wash the rice. In this way, they would become tired soon after eating it and could fall asleep until the third day!

But they never expected that this family member couldn't cook their rice at all!
