Chapter 38: Overnight in the Deserted Village
Su Xiaohe and his daughter were not in trouble. No matter how unwilling Luo Xiucai was, he could only bite the bullet and go directly to the Ye family.
He claimed to be superior and a scholar. He talked to Ye Jinkui just a hunter, and Ye Jinkui was a champion. However, although Ye Jinkui has always been generous, he looked down on a gentle and scum like Luo Xiucai the most.
They greeted each other, and before Luo Xiucai could explain his one, two or three requests in a reserved and tactful manner, Ye Jinkui had already made a straight shot straight, "What, my family doesn't have a lot of food, I really can't afford to help others. Not to mention the money, my family is famous for being poor in the surrounding areas."
Luo Xiucai:......(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻A group of powerful villains who look down on people!
After parting with Luo Xiucai, who was ashen-faced, everyone continued to maintain their original formation and slowly moved towards the southeast.
It was not until the sun set that everyone found a deserted village to live in.
The deserted village was originally a small small village. In the chaotic times, the villagers who were already few had already disappeared without a trace. Ye Anlan went in and walked around, and found neither living nor dead people, so he found a relatively complete house as their place to stay tonight.
The mule cart rushed into the yard, Ye Jinkui went to drill the well water and confirmed that the water was clean. Li, Aunt Su, and Su Xiaohe began to prepare hot water and supper.
Ye Anlan told Ye Jinkui, "Dad, let the water given to the mules boil and then cool down. Don't drink raw water directly for them."
After all, it was a deserted village that had never died. Even if the body had been buried, she would not dare to say that the water source here would be fine.
Ye Jinkui nodded, "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
After all, Ye Anlan had already said that the epidemic was terrible after only three times before leaving. He was not as brave as he could joke about the life of the whole family.
Li urged Ye Anlan to rest, "You haven't had a rest for two days and one night. While your mother and your Aunt Su are preparing supper, you hurry into the house and take a nap."
Ye Anlan was indeed very tired. She said to Zheng Fengshou: "Then Fengshou, please pay attention to the movement outside. If there are refugees or rioters entering the village, you should notify us immediately."
Zheng Fengshou laughed and said white teeth, "Okay!"
Although he was only a little older than Ye Anlan, he was very tall. Before Ye Anlan could push the door and enter the house, Zheng Fengcheng had already climbed onto the roof of the house like a monkey.
"Sister, come in quickly. I've cleaned the house briefly." Xiao Yewei, who was busy as soon as she got off the car, walked to Ye Anlan with a basin and a rag, "I've also laid the mat and bedding, so go to bed."
Ye Anlan touched the little girl's furry head, "The third sister is so good."
"I'm good too." Ye Tang hugged his eldest sister's legs, "I've also helped my third sister."
Ye Anlan couldn't help laughing, "Well, my little sister is also good."
Ye Tang was not in a good state. Although he was just sitting in a mule cart, after a day of bumpyness, the child's face inevitably became a little tired.
Ye Anlan felt sorry for her and carried the little girl into the house, "Is it okay for a little sister to accompany her? The eldest sister doesn't want to sleep alone."
Xiao Yetang sighed in a good manner, and gently patted Ye Anlan's arm with his hands like a little adult, "Be good sister, little sister, please coax you to sleep."
Ye Anlan held her hand, "Young sister just need to hold it for her."
Ye Wei looked at it, smiled and put down the basin, and closed the door gently.
Ye Anlan woke up from the fragrance of meat porridge. She walked out of the room with her confused little Ye Tang, "Dad, Mom."
Li, who was about to enter the house to wake her up, heard the sound and immediately smiled and called on the sisters, "It's time to come. The meal is ready, you two hurry up and come here."
In the dim sky, Ye Anlan saw a large basin of dried meat, dried vegetable porridge with more water than rice on the dining table, and two basins of freshly baked coarse grain, pickled vegetables and cakes.
She put Ye Tang on the bench and then served her a large bowl of dried meat, vegetable porridge.
Ye Tang was very sensible. Li handed her the spoon and she started to eat it in small stutters.
Others were already holding pancakes or holding large bowls, and couldn't wait to start eating.
Among them, Zheng Fengcheng is only special because he was not by the table, but on the roof holding a big bowl and ate supper condescendingly.
After eating and drinking, Li and the others were responsible for cleaning cookware and tableware, and also burning hot water for everyone to wash. Ye Anlan, Ye Jinkui, and Ye Song took the straw ropes, bamboos, and medicine powder that had been prepared long ago and began to set traps around the yard.
After finishing it, Ye Jinkui and Ye Anlan discussed who was responsible for the alert work during which period.
From now until dawn, there were still five hours in total. The father and daughter divided the earliest hour for Zheng Fengcheng, and then decided to have two hours in the middle and two hours in the back.
***
1. There was nothing wrong at night, Ye Anlan and the others safely welcomed the bright sunset the next day.
After taking a few young people to practice martial arts and then having breakfast with everyone, Ye Anlan cleaned up and prepared to explore the southeast direction alone.
She said to Li: "We will set off later today. Mom, you and Aunt Su will make more dry food, boil more boiling water, and let it cool down and bring it with you later."
When Li saw her attitude, he said, "You are going out again?"
Ye Anlan nodded, "I'll go explore the way first."
What did Li want to say, but Ye Anlan took the lead and patted his adoptive mother's arm, "Don't worry, I won't take risks."
In this team, she is the one with the highest military power. The more dangerous the work is, the more she cannot distribute it to others. Before training Zheng Fengshou and the others, she can only do these things as much as possible.
Thinking of this, Ye Anlan waved to the few little ones, "Don't be idle either, just practice martial arts well for me. Do you understand?"
A few little ones nodded like pounding garlic, "I understand."
Ye Wei said again: "Sister, be careful."
Ye Anlan touched Ye Wei's head, "I can."
With a knife and a bow, and a powder was hidden in his sleeve bag, Ye Anlan wore the men's outfit from yesterday, and was wearing the bottom of the pot on his face.
She took as many people as possible to walk in secluded places. First, these places are poor, and the rioters and refugees don’t like to visit them. Second, there are fewer corpses in these places, so the probability of finding clean water sources is higher.
Of course, considering the women and children in the team and the two mule carts that helped transport things, no matter how Ye Anlan picked up a secluded place with few people, what they had to go in the end was still relatively flat and spacious countryside dirt roads.
