Starve!!
K-33
Actually, Ning Yue had already eaten as much in the mountains, but Madam He insisted that she eat the big steamed bun again. He barely ate one and was too full.
“Mother, I'll take Xiaobao to pee.” After eating the steamed bun, Ning Yue stood with Xiaobao in her arms.
“Sure.” Madam He's in a good mood today. An unprecedented relaxed atmosphere enveloped everyone, sweeping away the destruction from before.
Many children cry at night because they are hungry and thirsty. Tonight, no child is crying. It was all laughter.
!!
Ning Yue felt very comfortable when she heard the laughter behind her. Indeed, the laughter of a child is the best medicine.
He came to a patch of grass and untied the swaddling cloth. Then, he helped Xiaobao urinate. After she finished, she changed her diaper and brought it back to Madam He. Then, he took Xiaobei to the grass to help him urinate.
Although the two children were twins, the girls were still softer, so Ning Yue paid more attention to Xiaobei, especially when it came to changing diapers.
In these difficult times, both babies who were originally thin began to gain weight under his care. Their little faces turned into flesh and their spirits increased.
Sometimes, Ning Yue would try to put them down and let them stand near the tree for a while to learn to walk.
Previously, due to malnutrition, no child could stand or walk at all. They can stand at almost a year old.
Now that it gets nourished, the children's legs become stronger. They can even prop themselves up in trees for a few minutes.
This change made Ning Yue very happy. He was filled with a sense of accomplishment. Raising a child is very difficult, but it is also an amazing thing.
She now treats Xiaobao and Xiaobei as her biological children and mentally accepts the fact that she has become a mother.
Everyone slept well that night. Even the man on guard had more energy and did not feel tired at all.
The next day, everyone woke up early to make breakfast before continuing on. Master Ning told everyone that they would reach White Cloud City in two to three more days.
White Cloud City was the border between Xin Prefecture and Lin Prefecture. If the drought in Lin Prefecture was not serious, the residents of the Ning Family Village could settle there.
“Sister, I'll carry Xiaobao!” Ning walked over and offered to help carry the child.
The second Ning did the same. “I'll bring Xiaobei.”
Previously, they were busy going out with their father to forage and drink, and they were not full every day, so they had no strength at all. Now, thanks to Ning Yue, they were already full, so they naturally had to help her share the burden.
Madam Qu said, “Quick, Yueyue, let your two brothers carry you. Look how skinny and tired you are!”
“Alright, thank you, brothers.” Ning Yue smiled and handed the children over to Dalang and Erlang
Ning Dalang and Ning Erlang each carried a child on their backs. They smiled at each other, then walked away.
The next two days were Ning Yue's easiest time since she moved. This was because the others around him were relaxed. There was no oppressive atmosphere and no heart-wrenching cries.
On the morning of the third day, the group finally arrived at White Cloud City.
Looking at the high walls, Ning Yue felt dignity and solemnity.
“We're finally here. I wonder if your aunt and the others are here?” Old Madam Ning said excitedly.
Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt are the oldest in the family. They were even older than Eldest Brother Ning.
They had been married for a long time, and their families were not far away. They were near the Ning Family Village.
When the drought broke out, everyone discussed escaping. Originally Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt wanted to escape with the Ning family, but they still chose to escape separately.
Because they still have husbands and children. It was impossible for him to bring all these people to the Ning family, and Uncle and the others would not agree.
Before fleeing, Old Master Ning had made an appointment with the aunts and the others to escape to Xin Prefecture. If the drought there was serious, they would turn to White Cloud City and enter Lin Prefecture before thinking of a way to reunite.
“We will look for them when we enter the city,” replied Old Master Ning.
Everyone was worried about the safety of their two aunts, but there was no phone or Internet here. No matter how worried they were, they could only endure it and wait until they could meet again.
Under Ning Bai's lead, everyone rushed towards the city gate. However, as they walked, they realized that something was wrong.
There are refugees all over the landfills outside the gates. Some were crying, some were dying, and some were looting. The gate was closed, as if it could not be entered.
