Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 100: I Should Be Able to Find It

The obedient little treasure?

That must be it!

Qi Manman quickly nodded vigorously, her big eyes blinking as if to say, "I am the most obedient little treasure!"

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Qi felt her heart almost melt.

However, the old lady still didn’t let go of her hand and continued, "Little treasure, you must promise grandma that without grandma or your mother’s consent, you won’t say you want to eat wild chickens or rabbits anymore, okay?"

No more meat?

Qi Manman immediately became unhappy.

Those big eyes were still blinking, and then they were covered with a layer of mist.

How pitiful!

Mrs. Qi almost couldn’t hold on, but in the end, she restrained herself, "If you listen to grandma, then you will be the most obedient little treasure in the world. If you don’t listen to grandma, then grandma won’t love you anymore."

Mrs. Qi intentionally put on a stern face to scare her little granddaughter.

One side is eating meat, and the other is being grandma’s most obedient little treasure.

Although Qi Manman still wanted to eat meat, she nodded.

Mrs. Qi was relieved now.

She let go of her hand, wiped the tears off the little girl’s cheeks, and patiently explained, "Manbao, it’s not that grandma doesn’t want to give you meat, but now we’re in the wild. If we encounter any big animals, it won’t be as safe as it was last night every time."

"Besides, even if those beasts don’t harm us, if we get scared and sick, that’s not okay either!"

Mrs. Qi didn’t know if saying this would make her little granddaughter understand.

But she had no other way but to bite the bullet and try.

Upon hearing the word illness, Qi Manman immediately shook her head vigorously, "Manbao doesn’t want anyone in the family to get sick! Grandma, live a long life, grandpa, live a long life, dad, mom, and all our family, live long lives!"

Whether these words come true or not, just hearing them makes one feel particularly comfortable inside.

Mrs. Qi hugged her little granddaughter and gave her a kiss on her soft little cheek, "Now that’s grandma’s good girl! Listen to me, and when we settle down, I’ll have your dad and the others go hunting, let them earn money carrying big bags, and all the money will go to my Manbao!"

"Uh-huh! Buy lots of good food!"

The tears in Qi Manman’s big eyes had been replaced by a full smile.

Well, if I can’t eat meat now, then I won’t think about it!

When we settle down, I’ll have dad earn a lot of money, and then I can eat lots and lots of meat!

Such a cute little girl made Mrs. Qi couldn’t resist giving her another kiss, then she held her little granddaughter again and returned to the fire.

Yi Meng looked at her mother in confusion, not knowing what the old lady and the little girl talked about.

The little girl’s face seemed to have a gleam, but her eyebrows were curved with smiles, not looking unhappy.

"Alright, everyone, let’s eat!"

Mrs. Qi smiled and invited everyone to continue eating.

There’s no water source nearby, and everyone is relying on the water fetched from the stream for food and drink.

Along the bumps and jolts of the journey, some water spilled from the water jug.

No one knows when they’ll find another water source, so no one dares to waste water.

Things like washing pots or dishes are all done together.

The first pot of water is boiled, and all bowls and chopsticks are put in to boil for cleaning, then they are taken out and dried, put away.

The first pot of water is poured into a bucket to cool, to be used again to wash the pot the next day.

After the second use, it’s poured into another bucket for a third usage.

However, after each reuse, they add another pot of boiling water to soak it again.

A pot of water is used three times, the second time adds one pot, the third time adds two pots.

And then it maintained to wash at least three times after each use. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

This washing pattern continued until all the oil ran out, and washing dishes went from three pots to two.

If Yi Meng really couldn’t accept the idea of so many people’s dishes being rinsed once in one pot, everyone might have just washed them once and called it a day.

And nobody else found it troublesome.

After all, there were quite a few children in the group, and being cautious for the children’s health never hurt.

The used washing water with no grease left wasn’t wasted either, it became the water everyone used to wipe hands and faces.

Though it felt a little strange, they couldn’t bother about such trivialities now.

These days lasted for almost ten days.

Throughout these ten days, they still hadn’t found any water source. If it weren’t for Yi Meng secretly adding water every day, everyone would probably have been doubting life, being so thirsty.

With the lack of water sources, the surrounding environment began to noticeably change.

Everywhere was yellow or dry ground.

The woods lost all greenery, leaving only thick dry yellow leaves and bare trunks.

No greenery to be seen, nor any creatures, not to mention any households.

Seeing that all the water in the jugs combined was only enough for one last meal, the gray despair on their faces became more apparent.

"Brother Quanjin, we can’t go on like this! If we don’t find water soon, even if the adults can manage, the children really can’t hold out any longer."

Zhou Family’s son, Zhou Tao, came to stand beside Qi Quanjin.

With just two short sentences, he spoke extremely slowly.

It’s not that he naturally speaks slowly, but in the past two days, they’ve been consuming less water, his lips were severely cracked, and opening his mouth would cause splits, seeping blood.

In order to reduce the cracking, everyone spoke slowly, unless it was an urgent matter.

Qi Quanjin too had cracked lips at the moment, not rushing to speak but turned to look back at the people following.

Lately, the pace of everyone’s journey had noticeably slowed, and the breaks became more frequent.

"Let’s all rest for a while!"

Qi Quanjin raised his hand. Although the voice wasn’t loud, everyone understood the gesture.

Yi Meng’s current state was also not good.

Although there’s spring water in her space, she hasn’t figured out a legitimate way to use it, so she could only do like everyone else, at most letting her children drink a little more to prevent them from seriously getting thirsty.

"Dad, let me take some people into the woods to see if we can find any water!"

Qi Quanjin approached Qi Zheng.

Qi Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him, sighed, "Everywhere are dry trees, where will you find water?"

"Um, Dad, how about letting Brother Jin accompany me! I should be able to find it."

Yi Meng knew she couldn’t hide it any longer.

If this continued, their group would all die of thirst in this wilderness.

If these adults died, they died. But the children were still young, they hadn’t seen much of the beauty of this world, Yi Meng couldn’t bear to let them leave the world like this.

So, she decided, even if everyone considered her a monster, even if they wanted to burn her to death, she would let everyone drink to their fill!
