After dinner, everyone came together to sew clothes. They didn’t care whether they looked good or not, as long as they were sturdy and light enough to wear outside.

Liu Caixia sewed quickly and finished her own and Xiaolu's outfits. In fact, they were just made according to someone else's style. They were just two simple pieces of cloth, with a collar and a rope tied around the waist. They barely looked like those for refugees.

Liu Caiyun had also prepared tops for herself and her mother at this time, but there was really no other way for pants, so she could only wear some of her old pants. If you didn't look closely, the style of the sweatpants wouldn't be too out of place.

Liu Caiyun said, "Caixia, you make clothes for Dad, and I'll weave straw hats! I guess I need to give it a try, I have no experience in this either!"

Liu's mother said, "I'll weave it with you. I've done it before!"

Father Liu also said, "Well, I can also weave. When I finish making the last two shoe covers, I will weave with you. Caixia, you can make clothes. It would be better to make two more of these waistcoats!"

Yes, it makes sense to call this clothing a waistcoat. It is a kind of top with a cross collar. It is very simple to make. Even if the needle and thread are a bit rough, it is still relatively quick to make a piece of clothing.

Liu Caixia took out the gray cotton cloth she had collected earlier, measured the size, cut it into a similar shape with scissors, and started sewing again.

Fortunately, they had collected a lot of bed sheets and quilt covers and put them in the space, otherwise there would be no separate fabrics. These bed sheets and quilt covers were enough for them to use for a while. When they arrived at the county town or other places where they could buy things, they would go to purchase some things from this dynasty.

Liu's mother took Liu Caixia to start weaving straw hats.

When weaving a straw hat, Liu's mother used a more traditional weaving method. She first weaved the top of the hat, then began to add straw in circles, and finished with a circle.

During the weaving process, Liu's mother adjusted the thickness of the straw as much as possible to ensure that the weight of the straw hat was balanced so that when it was worn on the head, it would not tilt to the left or right and the weight would be unbalanced.

Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty quick to knit.

Liu Caixia watched them weaving straw hats. After she finished making her clothes, she tied two small buns on both sides of Jiang Xiaolu's hair behind her ears, but not on the top of her head, so that it would be inconvenient to wear the straw hat.

"Dad, Mom, and Sister, we need to grow our hair longer from now on, and Dad's hair as well. Let it grow a little longer. We need to wear it in a specific bun from now on."

"Well, it's hard to grow long hair. There's no shampoo at this time, and we don't know how long the things we collected will last."

Liu Caixia finally looked at her hair again and sighed. Because Liu Caixia's hair had been permed and dyed before, the hair growing on top was black, and the hair below was a little yellow, which did not look good.

She had no choice but to braid her hair into a small braid, then tied it up behind her head with a black rope and wrapped it with a piece of black cloth. This way she could barely pass herself off.

Liu Caixia also helped to comb a similar hairstyle for Liu Caiyun and Liu's mother. Liu's father had no choice but to give him a half-inch head, so he would have to make him wear a hat or cover it with a piece of cloth.

Wait until the hair grows longer and then style it into the men's hairstyle of this time.

After everyone had a straw hat ready, they tried it out, used it after the first try, checked each other's, and packed up and prepared to set off.

I got up at dawn this morning, and I don't know how much time has passed. Father Liu said, "Caixia, look at the time. What time is it now?"

"Okay, it's 8:29 AM!"

Liu Caixia took out her cell phone from her bag, turned it on and checked the time. The phone still had some power, and it was magical that it could actually check the time, but there was no network.

She checked the time, and then checked some of the APs in her phone to see if she could find anything useful, but unfortunately there was nothing. After turning off the phone, she handed it to Jiang Xiaolu, "Xiaolu, put it away for me. I'm afraid it will be exposed if I leave it outside. You see, I seem to have put a watch into the space before. Find one to help you check the time! It's better for that thing to be discovered than the phone. The phone may have other uses in the future, and the battery itself is running low."

Father Liu said, "Yes, a lot of things need to be put away to avoid being exposed, but it's still early at just after eight o'clock. I feel like we've been up for a long time in the morning!"

Mother Liu: "What do you mean early? Don't you see the sun is already so big? It's early in this weather, probably around 5am. The days are long and the nights are short. You forgot this common sense! When people flee from famine during droughts, they get up at 4 or 5am. It's cooler then, so they can travel faster and wait until noon to find a place to rest to prevent getting sick from the hot weather."

"Haha, I'm really confused. Let's go quickly while the morning sun is not that strong. Let's walk quickly and try to find a group of refugees and blend in with them!"

Liu Caixia: "Yes, Dad, we can only walk on our own now. We can't get the car out in this situation!"

Jiang Xiaolu: "Mom, I think if we want to drive, we can drive at night, so we don't have to worry about others seeing us!"

Liu Caixia: "It would be even more terrifying if others saw it at night! It might even cause a sensation, so let's just forget it!"

Jiang Xiaolu: "Hey, I don't want to walk, I want to take a car!"

Father Liu: "The main problem is that this road is difficult to drive on. It's too narrow and it's easy to have an accident."

Mother Liu touched Jiang Xiaolu's head, took her by the hand and said, "Xiaolu, bear with it for a while. We should learn more about the situation first. After all, we are unfamiliar with the place, so we'd better be careful! Just walk slowly!"

Father Liu walked in front, wearing a straw hat and carrying a bag made of rags that had been used as clothes. He really looked like a refugee.

Looking at the time, I should be able to walk for a while in the morning, and then find a place in the shade to rest at noon.

Departure late in the afternoon.

The sun is too strong at noon, and it is easy to cause sunburn, dehydration and heatstroke.

Although there is some water stored in the space, in the current situation, they don’t know how long they will have to flee from the famine, nor when they can find water to replenish, so they still have to use it sparingly.

It was impossible for them to continue on their journey like everyone else.

The human body certainly couldn’t bear it, especially the two old people and Xiaolu, who had never experienced much hardship.

I can only choose to walk and stop and come slowly.

Jiang Xiaolu moved forward with difficulty. They had been walking for about two hours since they set out in the morning, and the sun in the sky was getting hotter and hotter.

Although she had drunk some water once during the trip, Jiang Xiaolu was still hot, tired and thirsty.

She really wants to drink water.

However, they did not have the water bags of this era, so they could only drink the water in the space. Bottles of mineral water could not be taken outside and seen by others, so when they drank water or ate food, they would try to stop and eat before setting off again. After drinking and eating, they would put the water bottles in the space.

Jiang Xiaolu secretly took out a bottle of mineral water and took a few gulps, then passed it to the others. At this time, everyone took turns drinking a bottle of water, so there was no need to be so particular. Everyone poured the water into their mouths when drinking, and did not drink it with the bottle mouth.

While everyone was drinking water, someone was paying attention to the surrounding situation, for fear that a group of people fleeing famine might appear by accident.
