Chapter 154: Leave

Entering the harsh winter, the victims of the disaster are living more and more difficult, although everyone is huddled in the shed and do not go out, but this shed is simply built, the wind is ventilated on all sides, the straw on the ground is not thick enough, and no matter how much quilt is covered on the ground at night, the vest feels cold.

What's more, some people left in a hurry when they came out, and they didn't expect such a scene after the disaster, and they didn't bring out much, and many cold day supplies were left at home. They all hooked their waists and shrunk their necks, eager to stay in the bed every day.

The court distributed several times the grain, very little, the porridge porridge only lasted two or three days, some nobles came to the soup twice, and the rest of the days were the victims themselves out to find food.

The villages around Weijia Town were hit by mudslides, but according to the information revealed by the health manager of the town mayor's office, the surrounding areas of Weixian County and Yangcheng were flooded.

The mudslide in Weijia Town blocked several main roads leading to the Shun River, all the river water went down through a river, and the rain of several months made the embankment that was not high in a saturated state, and the mudslide broke out, and it was a few days of heavy rain, and the flood completely broke the embankment, and many places were flooded.

Seriously, like Weijia Town, the family is broken and homeless. Fortunately, although the house is destroyed, people are still able to start over. Unlike the victims of Weijia Town, there is no place to go at all!

For a time, the people in the southwest were displaced, everywhere, and the streets and roads were full of ragged, hungry, yellow, hungry, and crumbling people. Some of them were weak and sickly, and when they escaped, they didn't take anything, and they died on the side of the road after holding on for half a month. It makes people feel heavy and uncomfortable!

The disaster in Weijia Town is severe. The losses were also the most serious, but fortunately, most of the people who escaped brought daily necessities, such as quilts and clothes, and whether they could really withstand the harsh winter is another matter.

When Fox Dayou saw Xiang and others shivering with cold, she really admired Fox Xiaomei at this time, fortunately, she had the foresight to make two down jackets for each person in the family, wear them inside, and put on cotton clothes outside, which looks bloated, but not very cold.

And Wei Dahe and Kong also got one. Although there is only one piece per person. But luckily it was done.

However, this secret cannot be told to anyone else, and one of the people on the wheelbarrow has a down jacket, which is a treasure. So. Hu Xiaomei directly took the burden as a pillow and put it under her head. In order not to make people suspicious. She seldom goes out.

At this time, they were sheltering from the disaster, and the families of men and women were living in a shed, but no one said anything. Thirteen is the most powerful in this, so when Hu Xiaomei wants to go out, she will hand over the burden to Thirteen to take care of. And when Thirteen was going out to find food, Fox Xiaomei stayed with Wei Sanniang and Fox Lixiang.

The court distributed some food, and several people saved food and used sparingly, but their own food did not move much.

On the third day after the mudslide, Wei Qingbao found Hu Xiaomei's family in the shantytown.

Wei Qingbao's family also left Weijia Village on the morning of the mudslide, and they did not live in the shantytown, because Wei Shiming was doing business outside and had a good friend in the town. It was cold, for the sake of his family and his friends, he took Wei Qingbao and a few people to stay, but he didn't dare to disturb others more, so there were just two empty houses in the yard, but their family of four only lived in one room. I got an extra bed, a bed for two people, and it wasn't crowded.

Wei Shiming's friend laughed and said he was too polite. Wei Shiming took Wei Qingbao and the two brothers to thank him again and again. Because their family is much luckier than those who live in sheds.

Therefore, when Wei Qingbao found Hu Xiaomei, he wanted their family to live with him, and as for occupying someone else's house, give some rent. Anyway, he still has a little private money of his own.

But Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang politely declined after thinking for a while.

As soon as they came, their family didn't have much money, and Hujia Village couldn't go back, and the days after that all relied on this bit of belongings, how could they dare to use it indiscriminately. Second, let Wei Qingbao help them pay the rent, not to mention that the Liu clan will not agree, and they themselves will not agree. That kid is a good-hearted person, but it is difficult to be in charge of the world, and others also have to live with that bit of silver.

Wei Qingbao had no choice but to come over every day. Occasionally, he would bring some food, Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou were very embarrassed, and told him: "Don't bring things over, you are also difficult, we can still survive now." ”

As for the Hu Yingtian brothers, after living for two days, Hu Yingtian took the Hu Yingdi brothers, as well as the old man fox, and the big family left the shed area, and did not say hello to the fox friends.

Hu Xiaomei guessed that Hu Yingtian was likely to take the Hu brothers to Wei County to join Hu Libai.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the days are becoming more and more unbearable, because there is not enough food and clothing, some people are getting sick one after another, and there is no money to see a doctor, and some people are dying one after another. For a while, the hut was completely immersed in fear of the future.

The mayor of the town only came to the shanty area after the mudslide, once when the soup was cooking, and never saw him again. Some people say that the mayor of the town has already moved his family away and gone to Yangcheng.

Seeing this, those who had a little family background and ideas lived for a while, and then resolutely left this place with their families. Some went to Wei County, and some went to Yangcheng.

I heard that the court of the big city has more relief, and there are rich and noble families who take turns to give porridge every day. The place to live is simple, but it's better than this shed. Therefore, fewer people are freezing and starving to death than here.

Hu Xiaomei persuaded Wei Sanniang and Hu Dayou to make up their minds early.

“…… The weather is getting colder and colder, and there may be snow this year. Although we were dressed thickly, we couldn't help the wind and snow on the road. On the road at this time, we may be able to arrive before the arrival of Sanjiu. ”

Thirteen also agreed: "The disaster in the southwest is too serious, we are just a small town, especially in the harsh winter, how can the people of the court take care of this, I am afraid it will be even colder at that time!" ”

The streets are sparsely populated, not only jewelry and clothing shops, but even restaurants and rice shops are closed. At that time, even if you have the silver, there will be nowhere to buy rice, and in the end there will be only one way, either starving to death or freezing to death.

On the second day, Wei Qingbao came over to persuade Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang.

“…… My dad and they have already packed up and are ready to go on the road in the next few days. Although there is a place to live here, the food at home can no longer last for the winter, and the only way is to go to Weixian or Yangcheng. ”

After a lot of advice, Hu Dayou and Wei Sanniang finally decided to leave Weijia Town. Seeing that the fox family was leaving, Xiang panicked, pulled Wei Sanniang, and said with red and swollen eyes: "If even you are gone, what will we do?" ”

Wei Sanniang was always soft-hearted, and said, "Then do you want to go with us?" ”

Xiang Shi cried with joy: "Is it okay?" ”

"As long as you want to leave, of course. However, this trip is a long way, and I am afraid it will not be possible to reach it in a day or two. It's getting colder and colder, so be prepared in case you ...... along the way."

"If there are three long and two short along the way, I won't blame you." Xiang said with red eyes.

Staying in this place, it is impossible for her to take Wang Xiaobao through this winter, although there are some other people in Hujia Village, but who can take care of them at this time, only Wei Sanniang and Hu Da are friendly to talk. She wanted to fight hard, and if she could really go to the big city, she would have a better chance of surviving.

It was decided that several people began to pack their things, and the vehicle was only a wheelbarrow, and part of the things were placed on the wheelbarrow, and the other part was placed in the backpack and the bucket. When Thirteen and Wei Sanniang picked two buckets, Hu Xiaomei felt that she should travel lightly, so she picked two buckets, and the other two had to stay. Wei Dahe doesn't want to pick the bucket, just stuff it all in the back, the back is much lighter than the barrel, even if the back is tired, you can also change people.

So, on the third day, Fox Otomo and others hit the road.

Wang and Zhang Changming remained in the tent and hesitated. Like Tang Daming and Wei Qifeng, they had already moved away with their son Tang Jusheng.

Hungry and cold, more and more people were affected, they did not have enough food and clothing, and they had to suffer from cold. More and more people are getting sick and falling. The thirst for life makes people lose their minds, and some people start to grab food to eat.

Only a few officials could not maintain order, and a large number of people began to go to Weixian and Yangcheng. For a time, a large number of displaced people in the area of Weijia Town flocked to the southwest and two directions.

There are about 100 miles of road from Weijia Town to Yangcheng, and it takes three days to drive the ox cart smoothly. Wei County is 150 miles away from Weijia Town, and it will take at least five days.

Therefore, Weijia Town is closer to Yangcheng, and it is impossible to arrive in three or five days under the current situation, so it will take ten days to go to Yangcheng, and Weixian County will have to take half a month.

So should you go to Yangcheng or Weixian?

If you travel less and walk for a few days, you can suffer less for two days, but Hu Xiaomei decided to go to Wei County!

"Why? Wei can get half a month's journey, we have the old and weak, women and children, and it is possible to delay for a while on the way, and it is possible to walk for a month! Xiang shouted hurriedly

"That's right, second brother, we have to find a place to live before Sanjiu arrives at the latest!" Wei Sanniang also frowned.

"That's under normal circumstances!" Hu Xiaomei looked serious: "In this situation like now, the road will definitely not be easy, and the food is not enough, the more you get there, the more you can't do it, let alone a month, it is possible even a month and a half." She pointed to the sparse number of homeless people on the road to the south, and motioned to the few people in the west direction: "This is just the beginning, and the further you go, the more displaced people will flee to the major cities." There are many refugees, there will definitely be a situation of looting things on the road, now everyone is in danger, I wish there was food and things, if there is a robbery, who will go up to help, I am afraid that there will be a lot of robbery while the fire is burning. So, we have to choose a path with fewer people. ”

"Fence is right." Thirteen, who has always rarely spoken, also said: "It is precisely because of the proximity of Yangcheng that everyone chooses to go to Yangcheng, but there are fewer displaced people in Weixian County, although we spend a few more days on the road, as long as we don't encounter grabbing things, what is it!" ”

Several people nodded in thought.

"It's still the second girl who thinks thoughtfully."

Everyone else agreed that Xiang didn't want to say anything more, and she didn't have any ideas herself. (To be continued.) )
