My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 68 Our Team

The third floor is relatively small, with two side rooms on the left and right, and a tea room with a railing in the middle.

He Yun pulled Chang Mianmian aside and offered to stay at the teahouse, giving the room to Xin Wenyuan and his wife, Xin Nian, and the others.

Xin Wenyuan waved his hand, "It's alright, it's alright, let the two of us men stay here. Mianmian, you and your mother, along with Dali, the three of you can share a room. The remaining room can be shared by your aunt and sister, along with Han'er."

Chang Mianmian nodded repeatedly. He Yun tugged at her several times, but she didn't react. She just smiled and agreed.

Little Xin Mohan, however, looked resistant. "Dad, I want to live with you and my brother. I'm a boy, I can't live with Mom and my sister."

Xie Ning and her mother rolled their eyes in perfect unison. You little brat, you're still resisting?

Xin Wenyuan was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, picked up his youngest son and weighed him in his arms, "Alright, our Han'er is a little man, he'll live with his father and older brother."

Xie Ninglan wanted to reach out and hug her son, "Silly son, you'll regret it if you don't live with us."

Xin Mohan clung tightly to his father's neck, not turning his head back, and turned the back of his head toward his mother, indicating his refusal to enter the house.

Xie Ninglan had no choice but to go inside with her daughter.

As soon as Xin Nian entered the room, she immediately took out a bath tub and also retrieved a set of commonly used toiletries from her spatial storage.

Ruffling her long, tangled hair with her fingers, Xin Nian gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, I'm going to wash my hair today. Anyone who tries to stop me will be killed."

It's really terrible to think about. Considering the time I spent in prison before, this body probably hasn't had a shower for... eighty or ninety days!

What does a modern person smell like if they don't shower for two weeks? Well, even Xin Nian herself wouldn't want to smell it.

"I must wash my hair! I absolutely must!" Xie Ninglan gritted her teeth and swore an oath.

She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she always felt like there were tiny bugs crawling on her head, making her incredibly itchy.

"Let Mianmian come and empty the water."

As soon as Xin Nian finished speaking, Chang Mianmian knocked on the door and called out.

Xie Ninglan quickly opened the door and pulled her in, "Mianmian, the three of us will take turns washing our hair and taking a bath later. What about your mother?"

"My mother is very obedient, but I don't know how to explain things to her about the bath tub, body wash, shampoo, and stuff like that. I'll wait until she gets used to it for a while before trying to explain. I'll bring her a basin of water later so she can wipe herself down; it's better than nothing."

Xie Ninglan nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Chang Mianmian started filling the wooden tub with water, and Xin Nian took out a few heating balls and threw them in. "Mianmian, you've advanced to the second level?"

"Yeah, just now, I used a water arrow to kill a villager who wanted to take the raft, and then I realized that I had naturally leveled up."

"Good, good, good." Xie Ninglan was particularly happy, standing by the bathtub observing the water flow. "The water flow is obviously much faster than before."

"Sis, you go wash up first, I'll go help Dali prepare dinner."

"Okay, let's finish off the flatbread and dried meat on the cart tonight. They've been sitting too long and can't be kept any longer. If the dried meat is too hard, how about... tear it into pieces and make some dried meat porridge?"

"I know, I know, don't worry about such a small thing, it won't be wasted. Go wash up, and call me when you're done so I can change the water." Chang Mianmian ran out happily.

After Xin Nian and her mother finished washing, they were practically transformed.

Xie Ninglan looked her up and down several times, as if seeing her daughter's true face for the first time, her eyes filled with surprise.

"My dear daughter, your face looks so much like your old face."

Xin Nian raised her hand to touch her soft, tender face. "Right? I think so too." "My daughter is so beautiful." Xie Ninglan looked at her with increasing delight. "But you're too conspicuous going out like this."

Look at her natural beauty, like a lotus emerging from clear water, tsk tsk, who else on the road to exile can wash and clean themselves up like this?

The mother and daughter simply couldn't force themselves to wear that prison uniform that hadn't been washed for over ten days and smelled sour.

Now, she changed into the cloth clothes prepared by her maternal grandmother from the Xie family and washed both sets of prison clothes and trousers.

Both of them put on their usual underwear close to their skin, which made them much more comfortable.

"So what if it's conspicuous?" Xin Nian waved her hand dismissively.

Xin Nian figured that even if Liang Guang and his ilk found out, they wouldn't dare say anything. As for the other convicts, Xin Nian didn't take them seriously.

Meanwhile, Chang Mianmian finished washing up, changed into clean clothes, and brought a basin of water into the house for her mother, He Yun.

He Yun was already very happy with this, and her eyes lit up when she saw the basin of water.

She could hardly remember the last time she had washed her face and body. She took the water from Mianmian and started washing herself quickly.

Chang Mianmian hesitated for a second, then said to her mother, "Mom, from now on, my sister and I will follow her. My sister is a very capable person, and she's very protective of her own. If we follow her, we'll definitely survive. But our team is very disciplined."

"That's right, things that shouldn't be said can't be told to outsiders, especially things that happen in our team. No matter how new or incredible things Mom sees in the future, she can't tell outsiders."

"From now on, we will not share any of our food, supplies, or other resources with anyone. You must remember what I'm saying today, especially those bloodsuckers in the Chang family. For example, my scumbag father. Even if he kneels in front of you and begs you, don't give him a second glance."

"In short, when it comes to matters concerning our team, not a single word can be uttered."

Seeing her daughter's serious expression, He Yun quickly nodded, "Mother knows, I won't say anything."

"But just now, Master Xin exchanged a few polite words with us, so why did you agree to stay in this room and leave the three of them outside?"

Chang Mianmian chuckled and pulled her mother's hand to sit on the edge of the bed. "Mom, you've only just joined the team, so you don't know my uncle and aunt's character yet. They won't be polite to us. Just relax and stay where they've arranged for you to stay."

Before the mother and daughter could exchange a few more words, a loud knocking came from outside. "Madam Chang, Miss Chang, are you ready to wash? My young lady wants you to have dinner."

"Okay, I'll be right there," Chang Mianmian replied, tidying up her mother's messy hair.

For dinner, I cooked a porridge with shredded dried meat and served it with the few remaining flatbreads. It wasn't particularly delicious, but at least I managed to fill my stomach.

After finishing his meal, as usual, he sent a portion downstairs to the old lady. Xin Wenyuan took it down and didn't come back upstairs for a long time.

Xiao Jia climbed up the window, panting heavily, and asked Xin Nian to go to another attic.

It was said that Physician Cheng's mother had a fever and was vomiting, and he wanted to borrow silver needles to prick her a few times to alleviate her symptoms.

Xin Nian had just finished showering and was all clean; she was too happy to run out into the rain again.

Since Physician Cheng only wanted to borrow silver needles, she took out a small packet of silver needles and wrapped some herbs for dispelling wind and cold in scraps of cloth, and stuffed them into Xiao Jia's hands.

Xiao Jia scratched the back of his head and said very respectfully, "We found some food in the kitchen earlier, enough for seven days. Liang Tou is having it sorted out. We'll send some more rice and flour to the girl later."

Xin Nian nodded and politely thanked her.

That night, everyone rested in the small building, hoping to get a good night's sleep.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, there was a lot of noise outside the window.
