In the ruined temple, the quarrel between Hu Zhiqiang's family made it even noisier and the atmosphere seemed a bit tense.

Mrs. Wu was so tense with what Old Hutou and the big guys said to each other that she didn't even dare to fart. She turned around to see Sanni who was eating and said: "Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, learn how to make clothes and dress up with your mother. I don't believe that Miss Hu Er doesn't like you. If Xiaozhu doesn't earn the five silver coins, you can go."

Sanni lowered her head, as if she didn't hear what her mother said. She just focused on eating steamed buns and drinking batter. Filling her stomach was more important to her than anything else.

As soon as Old Hutou came back, everyone stopped talking. Mrs. Lu felt that she should tell her family not to tell anyone about the money that Pian Huo picked up. It would not be good to make others jealous.

Mrs. Lu was a cheerful person, and she would do it when she thought of it. She whispered to everyone in the family, threatening that if anyone told anyone, they would not go to Xijun together. After Mrs. Lu's coercion, there was no inducement. , of course no one dared to say anything, they all said they would keep their mouths shut and never say a word.

Of course, Mr. Lu, the head of the old village, did not forget to explain, and everyone agreed.

Pian He walked back to Mr. Huang. Aunt Guo, Guo Zi and her two younger brothers had all left. Mr. Huang sat down next to Pian He and lowered his voice and told Pian He solemnly: "Pian He, now that you have redeemed yourself, , I don’t want you to work as a maid in the rich man Hu’s house again. After a few years, when you are older, you can get married seriously. How can you get married as a maid?"

It is impossible for Pian He to go back to the rich man Hu's house and become Hu Mingyu's maid.

But when it came to getting married, Pian Huan was unwilling to do so, but she pretended to be obedient and huddled in a corner and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, it started to rain. Fortunately, as the patriarch said, it wasn't raining heavily.

Pian He got up, and the first thing he did was to put his package on his back. He looked up and looked around, and found that there were many people getting up early.

Ergou was looking at her with his big eyes. Seeing such a cute Ergou, Pianhao smiled, picked up Ergou, put him in a floral dress that he had just made yesterday, and then led him out. After breaking into the temple, he poured a handful of water specially used to wash his face, wiped it on Ergou's face, and then washed his hands before taking him to find the Lu family.

Today it is Lu and Huang's turn to arrange meals for the whole family.

Everyone ate breakfast in a hurry, packed up and hit the road.

A mighty procession set out for Xijun. In front of the procession were six oxcarts, and behind them was a long line of refugees on foot.

Dashan and the others put up the roofs of six oxcarts last night, and added a layer of tarpaulin to the roofs of their three oxcarts to keep out the rain.

Guo Zi hugged Shuan Zi and squeezed next to Pian Hao. In order to make room for Guo Zi and not to sit next to Pigeon, Pian Hao held Er Gou in his arms. Er Gou was extremely happy about this. After getting on the bullock cart and being held by his sister, his little mouth never closed. He was chattering and he didn't know what he was talking to Shuanzi. Anyway, he was talking and making gestures all the way.

Mrs. Huang held Yuanzi in her arms to reduce the burden on Aunt Guo who was walking.

If Aunt Guo gets tired from walking, Huang will switch with her and let Aunt Guo sit in the oxcart for a while, while she gets off the oxcart and walks for a while to stretch her muscles.

Hu Xiaohua also took the initiative to help carry the children in the village onto the oxcart, and reached out to help the villagers.

Lu is also a very sensible person and knows that now is the best time to improve her family's reputation among the people of Hujia Village.

The oxcart she was sitting in was the emptiest, so she left the empty seats to a few old sisters with whom she could usually talk, and invited them to sit in the oxcart. She also took the initiative to lend oil-paper umbrellas and oilcloths to the villagers to protect themselves from the rain. .

Of course, the people walking were either wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats woven from straw, or they were wearing makeshift straw hats woven from twigs. They were not exposed to the rain, but their feet were suffering and covered in mud.

Since setting off with the people from Hujia Village, Hu Pianhuan has behaved as if there is no difference from the original owner Xiaozhu. To be serious, there is any difference. It is that Pianhuan is more silent than Xiaozhu, giving people a very dull feeling. , neither talking nor smiling, with a small body like bean sprouts, and a good amount of spareribs. After eating, he would sleep, eat when he slept, or drive on an ox cart, nursing his injured legs.

Old Hutou's family helped everyone with thick noodles and salt, let people from the same village ride in oxcarts, and lent umbrellas and oilcloths to everyone. They quickly won the favor of the people in Hujia Village, and the villagers were all willing to do so. Go up to Lao Hutou and Mr. Lu and say a few words to them.

Lao Hutou was very satisfied with this, and he was in a particularly good mood, as if he had drunk a few ounces of wine, and he was actually a little dizzy.

It was raining lightly, and the road became muddy and full of potholes, which made Pianheng's head hurt. In addition, holding the two dogs in her arms made it impossible to doze off. Fortunately, her legs were healed, and she didn't feel too strenuous holding the two dogs. .

After two days of this, the rain finally stopped.

On the evening of the third day, Pian He felt that her legs were not as swollen as before, and her legs and feet were much more flexible, so she took the job of herding cattle and followed Dashan, Mingde and Huzibai to herd cattle. She was determined not to compete with the pigeons. Children such as Er and Sanni, who were digging wild vegetables, got together and didn't want to listen to their chatter.

The two dogs insisted on going to herd the cows with them, so Pian He put the two dogs on the back of the cow. The two dogs were so happy that they grinned happily to the back of their heads, waving their hands heartily, and rode the cows. Got out of the spirit of horse riding.

With Ergou herding cattle, Dashan and the others were more than ten steps away from Pian He. Pian He asked the system in his mind: "Are there any valuable herbs or plants around here, such as ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and dendrobium? It doesn't matter. Whatever, as long as it’s valuable.”

There was money in the package. Pian He secretly took a look at the twig-patterned purse that was torn off the young man's body. There were five silver notes in it, each with a face value of one hundred taels, and more than two taels of broken silver. It was difficult to take out the two small jade pendants at this time, so I had to find another way.

"Host, there is no ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum as you mentioned here, but there are quite a few morels, not far from the grass you are stepping on. Do you want some? There are also macropores in the small forest nearby. These two fungi It’s delicious and nutritious.”

"Okay, I won't go into the forest. Which ones are morels? Show me." Pian He didn't know morels, so he asked, since there is no valuable ginseng and Ganoderma, how can there be edible mushrooms? Not bad. This body is too thin and a little short. She has to strengthen nutrition for herself and strive to grow taller and fatter in the shortest time. Mushrooms have high nutritional value and are most suitable for replenishing the body in this situation. .

"Host, lower your head and look carefully. The top cover of the morel is very recognizable. It is yellowish brown, egg-shaped or oval-shaped, and is concave and convex in a honeycomb shape, resembling an opened morel, hence the name morel."

As the system spoke, Pianheng lowered her head and carefully searched for mushrooms on the grass. She took two steps forward and found the morels as the system said on the grass. She picked one. Morel asked the system: "Is the one in my hand a morel?"

"Yes, host, like this, feel free to pick and eat."

With the system's assurance, Pian He began to immerse himself in picking morels.

Once she started looking for it, she found that there were so many morels on the slightly damp grass that she couldn't hold them all with both hands. Finally, Pian He took out a piece of clothing from the package and wrapped the morels she picked in the clothing. , a big package, which she couldn’t carry. Fortunately, there was a cow. She put the clothes wrapped with morels on the cow’s back and let the two dogs hold it.

Since the two dogs sat on the cow's back, they refused to get off until the cow was full and returned to its resting place.

"Mom, my sister came back from picking delicious mushrooms." As soon as they entered the abandoned yard next to the official road, Ergou started yelling and walked out like a victorious general.

Ge'er and Sanni came back early. They dug a basket of wild vegetables, which were bigger than before. They were dismissive of the morels that Pian He brought back. It just so happened that it was Lu's and Huang's turn to cook today. , Therefore, half of the morels picked back went into the stomachs of the second roommate. The uncooked ones were given to her sister-in-law and Aunt Guo, and the rest were given to whoever needed them.

As for Dafang, all he ate was wild vegetables and batter, but he refused to accept the mushrooms Pianxuan picked.
