When Xiao Lan was not fully conscious, the sound of hunger in his stomach occupied all his senses, and he opened his eyes and found himself sitting by the stove. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The boiling water was boiling on the stove, and it was bubbling out, and the fire was blazing, but the chimney was blocked, and the white smoke that could not go out gathered above the house, and as soon as you stood up, you would be so dazzled that you couldn't open your eyes.

It was the most primitive mud house in the countryside, and it was pitch black and devoid of any light, except for the occasional beam or two of light through the small window and shining on a pile of wood. There was nothing in the kitchen, and there were only two broken porcelain bowls on the dining table, and there was nothing in them.

[Do you want to receive task-related information?Yes or No]

Seeing that there was no one else around, Xiao Lan took advantage of the lack of any disturbance and immediately decided to accept the content of the task.

This task is different from before, the time did not usher in modernization, but Xiao Lan has experienced several tasks, and the world has to go back twenty or thirty years, when New China was poor and backward.

In response to the national policy, every household gathered together to eat a big pot of rice, and the countryside was communized.

"Eating without spending money" became the social atmosphere at that time, and the food could not be eaten and the waste was serious.

Wang Er is an authentic sixty-year-old peasant, and his peasant nature makes him unbearable not to waste a grain of grain. However, the white flour steamed buns and vermicelli stews wasted from the big pot of rice were fed to the pigs if they couldn't be eaten, and Wang Er was angry. He responded to the Commune to save food, but was ridiculed by the Commune for not being knowledgeable.

So he had to secretly collect these wasted rice, steamed buns, grind them into cakes, carefully dry them, and store them.

It didn't take long for the weather to be bad, the rain was less, the pigs were all eaten, and the big pot rice was long and few people in the village were willing to grow food again, and the whole village was famine.

There are gnawing tree bark, eating Guanyin soil, and if you can't hold on, you will die. The only one in the village who doesn't eat much soil is the old man Wang Er.

The children in the neighborhood were too young to eat the bark, so the old man was kind-hearted and fed the children with cakes and water. Ben told the child not to say it, but the child still told the family, and the news that Wang Er had food spread all over the village.

The whole village appeared at the door of Wang Er's house and asked for food. Wang Er didn't save much, but he still gave away half of the grain. But the villagers who had been hungry for a long time were not satisfied, and accused Wang Er of stealing grain, and one of the villagers lost their minds and beat Wang Er to death, snatching all the food, even the neighbors whose children had been relieved were among them.

After the Great Famine, the villagers had long forgotten Wang Er, and instead used him as a negative example to teach their children not to steal.

Wang Er's obsession is not on himself, but on his grandson, Queen Ya.

Wang Er's wife died early, leaving only one son, and when it was during the Anti-Japanese War, the only son fought bravely as a soldier and finally died on the battlefield. The daughter-in-law who stayed alone in the empty house soon ran away with someone again, leaving only Wang Ya and Wang's second grandson to live. At that time, Wang Ya had just been weaned, and Wang Er tried his best to raise his granddaughter with a handful of and urine.

After Wang Er died of notoriety, Wang Ya was only five years old, and there was no one to take care of her, so she starved to death in the early stage of the Great Famine.

Now the time when Xiao Lan came said that it was good, but it was not good.

It was not to the critical moment of being beaten to death, but it was also a famine, and yesterday Wang Er handed over more than half of the grain in front of the whole village. But no matter how much Wang Er saves, how much grain does he have? It is impossible to feed a village, but it is barely enough for Wang Er and Wang Ya to spend half a year.

Besides, it's only half of it, and the whole village is square, and there is no lower abdomen after three or two times. They'll come together tonight and take all the rest of the food.

But this time, it's not just about food, it's about death.

It's already afternoon, and the original Wang Er is boiling water to make paste for Wang Ya, who is taking a nap, even if the food is less, he can't starve the child, this is Wang Er's inner thoughts. And since most of the grain storage was taken away, Wang Er only had one meal a day.

Xiao Lan didn't jump up immediately to pack up and leave, but put out the fire under the stove, sat down calmly, and thought about how to take the next step.

There is still a period of time before the whole village comes, and Xiao Lan must quickly think of a plan in order to survive.

In front of a group of hungry and crazy people, reasoning will not work, but if you hand over the food, you and Wang Ya will starve to death, and if you don't hand it over, you will be beaten to death, this is the wrong choice, a dilemma.

Now, the only way is to escape.

Bringing the rest of the food and belongings, and quickly leaving the village with light clothing, and going to live in other places is the best and least risky method that Xiao Lan can think of at present.

But how to escape and where to flee is another question, and it involves a lot of money.

At present, in the face of natural disasters, the peasants have no harvest, and every family has to hand over the grain to the commune for distribution, and the waste caused by the big pot of rice that responded to the call before is just a small natural disaster, and it has completely turned into a great famine, which affects a wide range of areas, and countless people have died.

Xiao Lan estimated that the food left by Wang Er was only enough for half a month, so what about after half a month? This famine seems to last for a very long time, but now it is only the beginning of the famine that it is so crazy, so what about after that?

It is necessary to flee to a safe place, where there will be other sources of food, at least after the natural disaster has caused the grain to be lost, rather than starving to death.

The plan for the escape route has to be considered in the long run, but there is not much time for Xiao Lan now.

At dinner time, the whole village was planning what to do with Wang Er, and Xiao Lan had to quickly pack up his things and take Wang Ya to escape from the village. She planned to wait until she got to the next town, when she had plenty of time, to think about it.

After thinking about it clearly, Xiao Lan took out a bag from the pile of wood, which was the small amount of grain left by Wang Er. Xiao Lan poured out the hot water in the iron kettle, and put the iron kettle and broken porcelain bowl in the sack.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Xiao Lan hastily packed a few clothes and some necessities in the place where she lived in the back room, and as a result, she packed up two hemp bags. Holding the big bamboo basket and fixing the two sacks only, Xiao Lan prepared everything before going to the bedroom to wake up Wang Ya.

Wang Ya is only five years old now, but her body is very thin, obviously when she needs nutrition, but she encountered a famine, even if she eats paste for three meals, she still does not raise her fat, she still looks thin, with a small skeleton, chapped skin, and a pale face.

Xiao Lan didn't have the heart to wake up, and quickly shook Erya awake.

Erya, who was shaken awake, was still in a daze, and when she saw that it was her grandfather, she was relieved.

"Grandpa, the girl wants to eat mush. Erya muttered half-asleep, and after saying this, she was accompanied by a cry of empty abdomen.
