Godly Farmer Doctor: Arrogant Husband, Can't Afford To Offend! Chapter 597 - Rats

Chapter 597: Rats

When their family traveled in the south, they were tired and hungry. Fortunately, there was a stream on the road. They drank some water, otherwise, they would die of thirst not from starvation.

After walking from day until night, Bai Zhi finally experienced the revolutionary plots she had seen in the movies. The weather was cold, she was hungry, but she needed to continue lifting her feet to walk. This bitterness, only people who experienced it will know how hard it was.

“Sister Bai, what is that?” Ru’er couldn’t walk long ago. The adults took turns in carrying her. This time, she was on Zhou Xiaofeng’s back, while pointing her finger on a hole beside the yellow gra.s.s in front of them.

Bai Zhi took a glanced and said: “It’s just a hole, what’s wrong?”

Ru’er said: “I just saw something hiding in the hole, like a rabbit.”

Bai Zhi immediately stopped and went to the hole to take a look. She happily said: “This is not a rabbit hole, but a vole, it seems we have something to eat now.”

Bai Zhi looked around again and found several other holes.

Hu Changlin and Zhao Lan worked in the field for a long time. They have seen many voles in their life. Four people each stayed in front of the vole while Ru’er poured water in each vole. Sure enough, not long after, rats ran outside the vole. Hu Changling saw the rats running out, he immediately grabbed one. Zhou Xiaofeng also grabbed one. Zhao Lan grabbed two, while Bai Zhi failed to catch one. She wasn’t good in this, the rats ran so fast.

When the rats have been killed, they collected some dried leaves and branches. As soon as the fire was lit, they immediately roasted the rats and eat. They now only want to fill their stomach, so they didn’t think of other things.

Although it wasn’t enough, at any rate, it was better than not eating anything.

After eating, they continued traveling on the road. When they get hungry, they looked for voles to fill their stomach. When they get thirsty, they looked for some creek. They walked for three days and three nights. In the early morning of the fourth day, they saw an official road. At the end of it, there was a city gate.

“At last, we can see people.” Hu Changlin smiled.

Bai Zhi said: “When we arrive outside the city gate, we should be careful. If it is a city of Chu Country, there is nothing to be afraid of. But if it’s a city of Xiye Country, we must not reveal our ident.i.ty. We will say that we came from Jin Country.”

The three quickly responded. The joy they felt was replaced with anxiety.

Sure enough, there were guards at the gate, they saw people coming inside without being questioned. It seemed people can come in and out at will, just like in Qingyuan Town.

Looking at the dress of these people, it was no different from the citizens of Chu Country. Looking up at the city gate, there were characters written on it: Qi City.

On the left side of the two big characters of Qi City, there was a ‘Chu’ character engraved on it.

Does this mean that they were still in the Chu Country?

Their family quickly entered the city and walked around until they confirmed that this was the state of Chu Country. It turned out that this place was one of the states of the Chu Country, which was great.

Looking at the stall selling buns and buns on the roadside, Ru’er kept swallowing saliva. She wanted to eat, but she was afraid to speak.

Although she was young, she also knows that they were in a difficult situation now.

Seeing Ru’er like this, Bai Zhi felt uncomfortable inside her heart. When she chased after them, she didn’t bring any silver or copper coins in her body. How will she buy Ru’er food?

At this time, a few people, who looked like beggars, walked towards the front quickly. When one of the beggars looked back at them and saw that they were not different from him, he shouted at them: “What are you still doing? The porridge shed in the front will open soon, hurry up and go.”
