Chapter 89 There is someone in the pool

Qiao Ran demonstrated in person and showed her mother the pair of pajamas and towel she was holding.

Because there were no underwear in this era, only loose underwear, and the napkin did not fit the body well, so I had to wear a pair of pajamas first.

"Mom, look, these are called menstrual pants and this are called menstrual towels."

"Put these menstrual pants on first, then tear the menstrual towel like this, stick it in the middle of the menstrual pants, and pull the menstrual pants up."

"When the menstrual pad gets dirty, tear it off, throw it away, and put a new one on it."

"When you go to bed at night, you don't need to wear a menstrual pad, just wear these menstrual pants."

"When you wake up the next morning, take off the dirty menstrual pants and replace them with a new pair. Discard the dirty ones and dig a hole in the soil to bury them."

Chen Huiniang watched her daughter finish the demonstration with a curious look on her face. She felt that this thing was really convenient and practical.

But when she heard that her daughter wanted to throw away such a good thing, she became anxious again.

"Ran Ran, how can such a good baby be thrown away after being used once? Look, it's so soft and comfortable to touch! Is it made of good cotton? What a pity it is to throw it away like this! I Take it, wash it and dry it before using it!"

Qiao Ran's face twitched.

Wash used towels? She almost vomited just thinking about that scene.

"Mom, don't be reluctant to part with it. I still have a lot of this stuff in my treasure bag! Besides, we are on our way. Where can we dry it after washing it?"

When Chen Huiniang heard this, she was speechless.

My daughter is right, washed menstrual pants and menstrual towels cannot be hung on the carriage to dry, right?

Her menstrual belt was still secretly held in her hand while cooking and dried.

Seeing the regretful look on her mother's face, Qiao Ran couldn't help but laugh: "Mother, I have a treasure bag, you don't have to worry, there are a lot of good things!"

Chen Huiniang looked around vigilantly and reminded her daughter: "Ranran, please keep your voice down. Don't let others know about the treasure bag, otherwise it will bring danger to you. Don't let others know about your treasures." You’ve seen it, people’s hearts are unpredictable, so you still have to pay attention to protect yourself.”

Qiao Ran felt warm in her heart, but she didn't tell her mother that she would be able to sense someone approaching.

"Mom, don't worry, I know, and I won't tell anyone except you and grandma. Please put these on quickly, and let's go out quickly!"

Chen Huiniang put on menstrual pants and menstrual towel according to her daughter's instructions.

Qiao Ran dug a small pit, buried the pajamas and menstrual belt she had changed into, and walked out of the forest with her still reluctant mother.

The people of Qingshui Village hurried along slowly, and after a few days they finally got rid of the refugees who were so hungry that they walked numbly like walking zombies.

When passing through a small town that day, several families in the village who did not own carts went to a horse and carriage shop in the town to buy a few carts.

Qiao Dewang's family was also generous. They took out one tael of silver from the twelve taels of silver that Wang Yuan's wife's family paid to buy a semi-old push cart, which was used for Goudan'er to sit on and to stack heavier luggage. .

It's not that Qiao Dewang and his wife are so kind-hearted that they feel sorry for their granddaughter Qiao Honglian.

It was because Qiao Honglian couldn't bear it after traveling for several days. She fainted several times on the road and even dropped their precious grandson Goudan'er several times, which made the whole family feel extremely distressed.

Qiao Dewang's two sons have to carry heavy belongings, and his two daughters-in-law are also carrying pots, pans, quilts, cotton clothes, etc., and there is really no room for them.

In desperation, Qiao Dewang and his wife had to take turns carrying their grandson.

After this, they realized how heavy their grandson was. The old couple's bodies couldn't bear it, and they didn't want to burden their precious grandson. They had no choice but to buy a cart to push the grandson away.

Qiao Honglian finally no longer had to carry her heavy brother on her back, but she still had to push the cart carrying her brother and several bags of heavy items most of the time.

Seeing that Qiao Ran could get on the carriage and rest from time to time, Qiao Honglian was so jealous that she went crazy.

Most families in the village had carts, and those without carts could still put heavy grains on the two carriages, so their speed never slowed down.

Even though they had passed many refugees, they kept moving forward at the same speed as before.

The wild animals that we had hunted during the few days in the village were gradually eaten up, and the food supplies of each family gradually became less and less. No matter how much we saved on eating chestnuts, yams, etc., we would all finish them one day.

A month later, the villagers of Qingshui Village began to worry about food again.

During this period, Qiao Ran also took the men from the village into the mountains to hunt several times, but most of the prey they hunted were eaten on the same day. It was hot and there was no salt to marinate the meat, nor could it be stopped to dry it. Dried meat, so hunted game cannot be preserved and will become smelly after a day or two.

It seems that we still have to find a way to get some food to fill our stomachs.

However, Qiao Ran and the villagers found no more yams. They did find a few chestnut trees, but they were not enough to share.

During her lunch break that day, Qiao Ran decided to take a walk into the forest. Maybe she would find something?

"Ran Ran, let me go with you!"

Qiao Erhe immediately expressed that he would follow his niece, and was worried about Ran Ran being alone.

Secondly, it is also because you can always find prey or other good things by following Ran Ran.

Qiao Dong naturally had to follow his sister to find food. During this time, he had already practiced basic archery and gained strength, but he still needed some accuracy.

When the other men in the village saw that Qiao Ran was going into the woods again, they wanted to follow him.

However, Qiao Ran waved her hand and said, "I'm going alone. Go and come back quickly. If there's anything to eat, I'll come back and let you know as soon as possible."

"Ran Ran, you want to go alone? How can that be done? Let a few people go with you!"

Chen Huiniang said worriedly.

Qiao Ran felt that bringing too many people would be a hindrance. She could walk faster by herself and get deeper into the forest.

In the end, no one could defeat Qiao Ran. She only brought a dagger, a bow, and a machete. Under everyone's worried eyes, she quickly entered the forest alone.

Out of everyone's sight, Qiao Ran quickly ran deeper into the forest.

She had to find edible food as soon as possible, otherwise everyone would be hungry and unable to travel normally.

If they encounter refugees or bandits who are robbing them, the weak villagers may not be able to fight against the foreign enemies.

After about a stick of incense, Qiao Ran followed the mountain stream and found a waterfall.

In the distance, she heard the sound of the waterfall. Qiao Ran quickened her pace and headed towards the pool under the waterfall.

There must be fish in the pool. It would be a good idea to find a way to get some fish back.

However, when she reached the edge of the pool, she suddenly stopped.

She didn't know if there were any fish in the pool, but she was sure that there must be someone in the pool!
