Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 386 Their family came to Min'an Town

The farm woman smiled and said, "Come on, come on. There's water in the water tank at home. Feel free to take a bucket back. It will take about half an hour to get to the town. There are all kinds of things there. It's convenient to buy anything you want."

Su He's uncle called the children to come over and fetch some water. Su He's cousin wanted to go over, but was stopped by his sister Xiu, who said, "Brother, you guys are so tired from walking all the way here, I'll go!"

When she walked over, Su He's mother asked Su He's father to go with her to fetch water. After all, it was not good for a girl to enter someone's home since no one knew each other.

After a while, Su He's uncle came out with a bucket of water and asked his daughter to take it back. The children built a stove with stones next to the car and boiled some water to drink.

Aunt Su He and her husband chatted with the villagers for a while. After all, they had to build good relationships when they were in someone else's village. It would be best to understand the situation so as to avoid encountering robbers or something like that.

The children went to the field nearby to pick up some firewood, set up the pot, boiled water, and Xiu directly grabbed two handfuls of rice and put it in. The whole family was exhausted, and drinking water alone was not enough, so they cooked some millet porridge and some cakes to satisfy their hunger.

The children here started to laugh and chat while watching the fire. That's what children are like. Nothing is a big deal. Once something is over, they don't take it to heart. The children, big and small, all had smiles on their faces, waiting for the pot to boil and the porridge to be cooked and ready to eat!

After the porridge was cooked, the children ate first, after all, they only had a limited amount of bowls and chopsticks. They couldn't eat together as a family. After the children finished eating, Xiu asked her parents to come over and eat something.

Aunt Su He and her husband then said goodbye to the villagers, "We will leave after we have a good rest. Sorry for troubling you all. We will see you again someday if we have the chance!"

The villagers also warmly asked them to hurry up and have something hot to eat. Seeing that the whole family had rushed here in a dusty state, they must be exhausted from the journey.

The whole Luo family sat down quietly, some eating, some resting, waiting for everyone to be tired so they could go to the town.

They dared not stay in the wild tonight, so they had to go to the town and find a house with a spacious entrance to rest for the night. At least the town was very safe, with night watchmen on duty at night, and there were usually government offices in the town, so the robbers would not dare to come.

Especially now that it is not a famine, any outsider in the town will attract attention, and the patrol will ask for their household registration information. Most people really don't dare to cause trouble in the town.

After they had rested for a while, they hurried to leave the village, and of course they thanked those who stayed at the entrance of the village.

The group drove slowly towards the town. After about half an hour, they saw an ancient town with three big characters "Min'an Town" hung on the big archway.

There was a north-south street in the town, with shops on both sides. They stopped next to a house not far from the town.

Su He's eldest cousin and his wife were sent out to find out where they could rest in the town. Of course, they didn't look for an inn, but to ask where it would be more convenient to park their car.

The couple went up to the host and asked, "Hello, we are from another place passing through here. It is not convenient to stay in an inn because of the long distance and the crowds. Please ask where is the most convenient parking place for us. We will stay here for one night."

There happened to be a kind-looking old lady in the house. She looked up at the whole family, young and old, and it was obvious that they were not doing well.

She smiled and said, "We have a big yard behind our house. If you don't mind, you can rest there for a while! There is a well in the yard, and there are two rooms for storing things next to it. You can put your things in order and stay there for one night. I won't charge you any money. It's not easy to be away from home."

Su He's eldest cousin and his wife were so excited that they quickly thanked them and waved for the mule cart to come over. After Su He's aunt and others followed the cart over, Su He's eldest cousin's wife said excitedly: "Mom, this grandmother is so kind. She let us stay at her house tonight and even lent us two rooms to stay in."
