Yao Changsheng looked at them and smiled slightly, "Let's just stop here today, let's continue tomorrow."

"Okay!" Tao Shiwu looked at them and said, "You sleep, I'll be on the night."

Tao Qini looked at them and said, "I'll go to the backyard to take a shower, my body is dirty."

"I'll accompany you." Shen immediately stood up and said when he heard this.

The mother and daughter took the wooden basin and the bucket and went to the backyard together.

"It's so dark. I'd better have known we were still in the backyard." Shen helped her and rubbed her.

"Mom! Follow me, there are no trips on the road, I remember the road." Tao Qini held her arm and said, "The backyard is too remote, and we can't see any movement." After pausing, he continued, "The yamen gate is different. It's empty, with a broad vision, and it's better to be ventilated and cooler."

"If you say that, it's better to be at the yamen." Shen nodded hurriedly when he heard this.

While speaking, the two went to the backyard, fetched water and poured the water into the wooden basin.

"I want to take a shower." Tao Qini held the water puff and said to her arm, the water was cold, sweeping away the heat of the summer.

"No, the water is too cold." Shen said without thinking, "There are people in the city and there is no cover here. If someone rushes in, your life will be over." He whispered, "Hold on!"

"It's dark and no one can see it." Tao Qini said disapprovingly when she heard this.

"That's not possible." Shen said with a dark face, "The innocence of her daughter's family is very important, and no one is allowed to be seen."

"I know, I know." Tao Qini nodded after hearing this.

"If you want to wash, when we get on the way, I will show you, drive your father and the others far away, so that you can wash them happily." Shen looked at this clean-loving daughter and said, "I don't know who I learned from. I didn't take a bath before, and I didn't see you yelling."

"Well, is it comfortable to take a bath? Or is it comfortable not to take a bath?" Tao Qini squatted in front of the wooden basin and held the water in her hands and splashed it on her face.

"Uh..." Shen said for a long time after hearing this, "It feels comfortable to take a bath, it's like a layer of skin being removed."

"Isn't that all." Tao Qini stood up and said, "Mom, you can wash too."

"Yeah!" Shen squatted in front of the wooden basin and washed it, then fetched another bucket of water and carried it back to the yamen.

"Before we set off, wash the mat." Tao Qini pointed at the straw mat under her index finger.

"I'll wash it. This is simple. I don't have any water." Shen said relaxedly when he heard this, "Go to sleep quickly, don't be carved with beads."

"Yes!" Tao Qini responded obediently and lay down with the knife in her arms.

Tao Shiwu added some firewood to the bonfire and picked up the unwoven straw sandals to continue.

It was late at night, and only the crackling sound of the bonfire sounded from time to time.

&*&

I was not going to leave today, so Tao Qini and the others slept until dawn.

After breakfast, the grasshopper porridge continued. After drinking it, Tao Shiwu lay down to rest.

Tao Qini continued to do the abacus, Tao Liuyi, Shen Shi, and Yao Changsheng were preparing to set off.

Tao Shiwu was awakened by the smell of barbecue. When he sat up, he saw Jijiu eating roasted chicken.

"Dad, why aren't you sleeping for a while?" Tao Liuyi looked up at him and continued to weave the straw sandals in his hand and said, "It's okay now."

"I won't sleep anymore." Tao Shiwu looked at them and smiled.

"I think I'm almost resting, we can leave tomorrow." Tao Qini said while carving abacus beads, "Puff..." Blowing the fine wood chips on her hands.

"Mr. Yao can teach us how to show off!" Tao Shiwu turned his eyes to Yao Changsheng and said anxiously.

"Okay, you guys will tell me what I recited yesterday first." Yao Changsheng shook his head and laughed when he heard this. No wonder he only slept for a while, and he turned out to be thinking about Jiujiu Bi in his heart.

"I'll carry it first!" Tao Liuyi put down the straw sandals in his hand and said happily, "One is like one..."

"That's what I heard you are leaving." Old Uncle Zheng and his grandson stood at the yamen gate and looked at Tao Shiwu and the others and asked.

The sudden sound interrupted Tao Liuyi's recitation, making Tao Qini and the others look at the three members of the Zheng family in unison.

"Yeah!" Tao Shiwu looked at the three of them and said, eating grasshoppers these days has improved a lot in terms of spirit and complexion.

"Can you take my two children with you?" Old Mr. Zheng patted the children on the shoulders.

"Grandpa, grandpa." Zheng Tong and Deng He looked at him together and said, "We are leaving, what should you do?"

"We won't leave." The two of them said in unison.

"You can only have a way out after you follow them, and I have already entered half of the earth." Old Man Zheng looked at the two of them with a clear and open-minded look and said, "I don't know when this drought will last. This Central Plains is a place where military strategists must fight for. There are constant wars, so why are you staying here?"

"Then we can't leave." The two of them looked at Mr. Zheng firmly and said.

"You two..." Old Mr. Zheng looked at them and said with a firm heart, "If I don't leave, I'll die for you now."

"Grandpa, grandpa." The two of them looked at him anxiously and said.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Tao Qini looked at the three of them and said, "We didn't seem to say we wanted to take you away!"

They haven't agreed yet! They are separated from each other by life and death.

"Ga?" Mr. Zheng and the other two looked at Tao Qini in surprise.

Tao Qini looked at the three of them with the same expression, shook her head and laughed, "Since they don't want to leave, why do you have to drive them away?"

"I...they stayed with me, the lonely old man, and had no future." Old Man Zheng looked at them with red eyes.

"No, no! Don't cry!" Tao Shiwu waved his hands in panic and stood up, "It's not easy for us. We have many difficulties along the way. Today is not sure tomorrow, and living day by day, and I don't know where we are going?"

"You are not afraid of our ill will." Tao Qini said slowly as she looked at them with deep eyes.

"This..." Old Man Zheng looked at them hesitantly and said, "It's impossible, you are not that kind of people."

"What kind of person?" Tao Qini looked at him with a funny look and said, "In a desperate situation, people can do everything, and I can't even believe it myself. You actually believe it."

"Old Mr. Zheng, you should think clearly before you can make a decision easily." Tao Shiwu said with Qingming's eyes looking at them.

"Grandpa, let's go back!" Zheng Tong winked at Deng He and the two of them carried Mr. Zheng away, one left and one right.

&*&

"What are you watching me do?" Tao Shiwu found that his daughter's eyes were straight at him, so he spoke.

"I thought my father would agree." Tao Qini said with a clear and transparent look at him.
