After He Li, follow the reckless man to flee the wasteland and farm the fields

Chapter 86
Li's nose fluttered and tried her best to control her emotions, afraid that Su Qing and the others would lower their heads and bite the soft cake when they saw it, but they couldn't swallow the soft cake after eating it, tears flowed down uncontrollably, She hastily wiped it off with her sleeve.

"Auntie, what's the matter?"

Seeing Li Shi crying, Ji Xiaoying hurriedly asked her.

"I've never been so excited to eat something so good."

Mrs. Li replied wiping her tears. The sadness in her eyes was so thick that it was obviously not compatible with excitement. Su Qing raised her eyebrows. It seemed that she was familiar with this pastry and had eaten it before. She was touched by the scene and felt sad when she remembered the past.

However, Su Qing did not mention this matter again.

The sound of the system announcing the good news came from the ear:
"Congratulations to the host, the darn has been upgraded to level 21, and the physique, mental strength, combat power and God of War ability have all been upgraded to level [-]."

Su Qing was very happy. Sure enough, the embroidery was upgraded quickly. She didn't want to waste time, so she stopped studying Li's. She dug out the muslin she bought and started making briefs and bras.

Ji Xiaoying has been with Li-shi all this time, but she forgot to embroider, and she doesn't know what's going on?Sakura likes Li Shi very much, she has a very warm feeling, which makes her want to get close to Li Shi uncontrollably.

Mrs. Li only ate half of that piece of soft cake, and held the remaining half in her hand. When Ji Xiaoying saw it, she urged her:
"Godmother, why don't you eat?"

"Yong'er has never eaten such a delicious pastry since he grew up. I'll let him try it."

Mrs. Li replied in embarrassment, her eyes were a little perturbed, after all, this pastry was given to her by Sakura, and it is always impolite to offer flowers to Buddha.

"Zhong Yong is so lucky to have a mother who loves him so much."

Ji Xiaoying said enviously, a child with a mother is a treasure, her eyes are full of yearning, she really wants to see what her mother looks like?Why didn't she even have a portrait when she passed away?
Ji Xiaoying dreamed of a woman in her dream, she cried and called her mother to chase after the woman, but she couldn't catch up at all, and watched the man fly away.

The feeling of being abandoned made her cry until dawn.

"Godmother will love you in the future."

When Li heard Ji Xiaoying's sad voice, motherhood flooded her heart. She raised her hand in the air to stroke Xiaoying's hair, but she couldn't touch it because she couldn't see the end.

When Xiao Ying saw it, she lowered her head and put her head under Li Shi's hands. Li Shi stroked Xiao Ying's soft hair and comforted her softly.

Seeing this scene, Su Qing suddenly remembered a kitten she had seen before. She returned to the base covered in blood after killing someone. The stray cat walked up to her and rubbed its head against her pant leg, begging for licking, Sakura She felt like that stray cat who lacked love.

Ji Shuisheng looked back and saw this scene, he frowned sadly, he didn't want to see his sister yearning for maternal love again, so he asked Li Shi.

"Godmother, have you brought your household registration?"

"Bring it."

When Li Shi heard Ji Shuisheng's question, she hurriedly answered, and withdrew her hand in embarrassment. She couldn't see but could feel Xiaoying's dependence on her. She also liked this girl very much, but after all, she was a little too loud, and she was afraid that Ji Shuisheng would be angry.

"That's good. Don't you feel reluctant to leave home and flee famine?"

Ji Shuisheng continued talking to Li Shi, Li Shi smiled and shook his head:
"There's nothing to be reluctant about. When Yong'er grows up, he can't stay in this mountain for the rest of his life. Yong'er's father also doesn't want to see his son spend his whole life doing nothing."

"Godmother, how did my godfather die?"

Ji Shuisheng asked tentatively, but he stopped looking at the way ahead, and looked at Li Shi with burning eyes.

"He didn't want our mother and daughter out of loyalty."

Li's tears flowed down, her voice was sad, she cried and blinded her eyes, but she still couldn't forget the man who doted on her to the bone.

"May I ask what his good brother's last name is?"

Ji Shuisheng's Adam's apple slipped, his voice was a little sluggish, and he looked at Li Shi eagerly.

"It's all in the past, don't mention it, I don't blame him. Brothers knock their heads on the ground. When disaster strikes, they should live and die together. This is a man's loyalty and morality."

Li Shi paused, she could feel that Ji Shuisheng and the others were good people, but she still couldn't tell the secret, she smiled wryly and refused to go into details, just passing it by.

"Godmother, Zhong Yong and I will become such good brothers. I promise you that as long as I live, I will protect him forever."

Ji Shuisheng took a deep look at Li Shi and assured him that the godmother couldn't say anything so that he could confirm his guess, but now was really not the time to say anything, and he couldn't reveal his identity, so he woke up knowing it.

"Godmother believes in you."

Li smiled gratifiedly, and her mood was no longer so depressed after leaving Dashan. She faintly felt that there would be a different life in the future, and she could comfort Yonger's father.

Su Qing had been listening to Ji Shuisheng's test of Li Shi, her quiet eyes were calm, as if she didn't hear it, and she couldn't sew women's underwear under Ji Shuisheng's sight, so she went over and pulled down the curtain.

A curtain blocked Ji Shuisheng's view. He withdrew his gaze and concentrated on driving the car, feeling a heavy weight on his shoulders.

At noon, we hadn't walked out of the Tiezhu Mountains, because walking in the mountains is much cooler than taking the official road, and everyone's water consumption is much smaller than that of the previous few days.

But when the water in the bamboo tube is exhausted, it is necessary to find the water source as soon as possible.

Zhong Yong was from Tiepushan, so Ji Shuisheng called him over to ask about the water source.

"There is no water source in the mountains, and they all died of drought."

Zhong Yong licked his chapped lips and said to Ji Shuisheng.

"Then what water do you drink?"

Ji Shuisheng gave him a strange look. There is no water in the mountains, and there is no rain in the sky. People can't die of thirst, can they?

"Our village dug a deep well, and other villages seem to do the same. They dug more than ten feet deep to get water. There is only enough to drink and not enough to irrigate the land. The crops are all dry and there is no harvest this year. If we are required to pay taxes, many people will starve to death without food!"

Although Zhong Yong looked silly, he spoke clearly, and Ji Shuisheng frowned even more after hearing this.

Now there is no shortage of food, and there is no way to cook without water. If it is impossible, I can only go to the village to ask for water.

"How far is it to the nearest village?"

Ji Shuisheng asked Zhong Yong again, Zhong Yong stared at Ji Shuisheng with wide eyes:
"What are you doing?"

"Go get some water."

Ji Shuisheng poured the last drop of water from the bamboo tube into his mouth, shook it and it was empty.

"I advise you not to go. Water is life in a drought year, because the water has killed many people. The water source of any village is the key protection, and no one will give it to you. Don't ask for water, even if you spend money to buy it, there is no way. When foreigners enter the village, they will be beaten out, and the whole village will fight together, which is very scary.”

Zhong Yong's head was shaking like a rattle, and Ji Shuisheng heard it so serious, so what is he asking for?

"Then do you know where there is water after leaving the Iron Prong Mountain?"

Ji Shuisheng asked Zhong Yong again, he should be able to walk out of this mountain range at night, as long as there is water after leaving Tiezhu Mountain.
