As for Wei Qingbao's family, they also went to Wei County, but Wei Shiming had already made an appointment with the people, and he couldn't delay, Wei Qingbao could only make an appointment with Hu Xiaomei and contact him after arriving in Wei County. Before leaving, he forced a tael of silver to Hu Xiaomei.

Hu Xiaomei shirked several times to no avail, thinking that she really needed money at the moment, so she accepted it. I decided in my heart that when I settled down, I would have to think about how to return the money to Wei Qingbao.

A group of people, all old and weak, women and children, in order to ensure that there are no accidents on the road, Hu Xiaomei gave the one or two silver to Fox Dayou, and before leaving, he asked him to find a way to buy an old plate car, which cost a hundred copper plates.

In this way, there is also a place to put the things on the people's bodies, the fox Dayou pushes the cart, the thirteen pushes the wheelbarrow, Wei Dahe picks the bucket, and when he goes out of the market, he picks up a few bamboo burdens on the side of the road, and the bamboo burdens are much lighter than the buckets, so a group of people discard the buckets, leaving only one bucket, and the rest are all replaced with bamboo burdens.

The bucket was carried by Wei Dahe, the bamboo burden was picked up by Xiang and Wei Sanniang, and the three sisters and brothers of Hu Xiaomei were still carrying the back.

There are some things on the wheelbarrow on the cart, and there is some room to sit in the back.

There are very few people on the way to Weixian, a few people first keep hurrying, and rest when they are tired, Kong is old, and then he and the youngest Wang Xiaobao take a scooter.

Although Wei Dahe is over the age of six, the man's foot strength is much better than Kong's, and he is not inferior to Fox Dayou at all with two buckets.

At night, I tried to find a place to rest in the wind, and I put on enough clothes and wrapped myself in a quilt to survive for free. Fortunately, it took three or four days to reach Lujia Town.

Lujia Town is the first town from Weijia Town to Wei County. The lowlands of the town were littered with water, and all sorts of things were thrown around. On the third day of the mudslide in Weijia Town, Lujia Town, along with several other towns, flooded.

Although the disaster situation is better than that of Hujia Village, no houses have been destroyed and razed to the ground, but there are still many houses that have collapsed, and the things in the houses have been washed out, and the wooden boards, stalls, and banners are everywhere on the street. The stalls have long since closed. Not even a single figure could be seen.

Hu Xiaomei knocked on the doors of several houses, but no one answered, presumably all of them fled with their families.

Finally, I finally saw a family that opened the courtyard door. It was a small courtyard with a dilapidated gate hanging diagonally by the door. The yard was a mess. The contents of the house were turned into a mess. All the useful things are gone, and it seems that it is an empty courtyard again.

However, it is just right to stay overnight. The group decided to spend the night here.

Move everything into the yard. The fox Xiaomei sisters, Wei Sanniang and Xiangshi began to make the bed, and the fox Dayou and several people picked up firewood and prepared to cook.

After cooking the porridge, I finally baked a few cakes, and I ate a comfortable meal. The courtyard door was barely closed, and everything was moved into the hall.

There are four rooms, three houses and one hall, Fox Dayou, Fox Fence Thirteen rooms, Wei Dahe and Kong's one room, Fox Xiaomei's mother and daughter three rooms, and finally Xiang and Wang Xiaobao have one room. But there were only three beds, and in the end, Wei Dahe moved an old door panel and put it in the hall, and Wei Sanniang spread two more layers of old quilts, and he didn't burn his back at all when he slept on it, so the sleeping place of the group was also counted.

After dinner, everyone rested, and they hadn't slept so peacefully for several days, and the next day they woke up with three foxes on the sun.

Wei Sanniang and the others only woke up a moment earlier than Hu Xiaomei, and at this time breakfast was ready, Wei Sanniang not only baked some cakes for breakfast, but also left some more on the road to satisfy hunger.

After breakfast, the group packed up their things and were about to go out, Thirteen came out of the firewood shed with a bundle of firewood, he put the firewood horizontally on the wheelbarrow, and found a hemp rope to tie it.

"Thirteen, what are you doing here?" Xiang Shi was puzzled.

"There are thirty miles of road from Lujia Town to Yuehe Town, although there are a few small villages on the way, but we have a lot of people, it is inevitable to procrastinate, and we may not be able to find a place to live every night, the colder it will be the day after tomorrow, and we must think of making a fire at night outside, otherwise it will be terrible to get sick from the cold."

Thirteen's words were immediately agreed by Fox Dayou and Wei Dahe: "Yes, it is always warmer to have a fire." ”

"So, let's go all the way now, if we see wood, firewood, and the like, we can take it, and we will definitely be able to use it at night." Thirteen serious words. Then he found some pieces of hemp rope in the woodshed, and tied them into a ball and stuffed them on the wheelbarrow.

Hu Xiaomei retracted her surprised gaze, in fact, she was also thinking about it last night. It may snow soon, and if you stay outside at night without firewood, people like Kong and Wang Xiaobao may get frostbite. When the time comes, there will be no place to rest, and there will be a shortage of medicine, so I am afraid of trouble! But it may be too late to look for it when you really need it, so it's best to go all the way to pick up firewood. That is, there is no delay in time, and you can use it when you want to.

After tidying up, the group pushed the cart on the road.

After a good night's rest, everyone was full of energy, everyone could occasionally chat on the road, Xiang Wu ate Wei Sanniang's fried cakes, and rested a few times in the middle, and everyone's spirit was obviously worse in the afternoon, like Kong's, the feet were filled with lead, and they couldn't go fast if they wanted to. Wang Xiaobao is a child, and it is already good to go out from morning to afternoon.

So, in the afternoon, Kong and Wang Xiaobao sat on a board car.

The fox fence became more sensible, and he didn't shout bitterly in the past few days, gritting his teeth and insisting on walking by himself.

At night, they did not find a village to rest, so they found a low slope to block the night wind. Thirteen took the firewood from the wheelbarrow, and picked up some on the road during the day, which was enough for a night.

The fire was lit, and everyone sat down around the fire, and suddenly felt much warmer.

Then Thirteen simply dug a pit, put two stones on the left and right, took out Wei Dahe's small iron pot, scooped up the water and boiled it, and after everyone drank a sip of hot water, he cooked porridge again. A bowl of porridge for each person, and then break the cold cakes in the morning and throw them into the porridge, and the whole body warms up after a bowl of porridge.

Fortunately, I didn't see a few people rushing along the way. If there are many refugees, how dare they blatantly take out rice to cook porridge?

I didn't sleep as well as the night before, but I was better than the days before.

The next day, everyone woke up early.

The flickering fire on the pyre on the ground was about to be extinguished.

Grab something and the group hit the road again.

In the next few days, fortunately, they all met small villages at night, and many of the houses in those villages were washed away by the flood, and many people left early to go to Wei County, or some took things directly, and even did not go to relatives in other places to buy houses, and the rest of the villagers were all poor and their houses were rotten.

Fox Dayou and his entourage dragged their families with their mouths, and their clothes and quilts were even brought with them, obviously fleeing, so the local villagers were kind to them, and kindly told them that there was no one in the house, and they could live temporarily, so everyone did not suffer much at night before arriving in Yuehe Town.

The closer you get to Yuehe Town, the more displaced people on the road get up. It took six or seven days, and the fox Xiaomei finally arrived in Yuehe Town.

Yuehe Town is a town about the same size as Weijia Town. The terrible situation outside the town shows that it was also flooded. However, the people here are obviously not like Lujia Town, and most of them have moved away with their families. Most of the villagers in Yuehe Town are still there. However, because many towns and villages near and far have to go to Wei County because of their suffering, and the refugees have a problem of having enough to eat, as long as they see a household, some people will be cheeky to beg for food, and one or two will not matter, and later other refugees have followed suit.

How dare the villagers take out the little food they have, for fear of being bombarded, so it became the scene in front of them.

Every household, whether there is someone or not, all the doors are closed, there are shops on the street, and the stores are rarely open every day, and some people even directly move the goods in the store home and no longer open.

Standing outside knocking on the door for a long time and no one paid attention, when people walked away and saw the crack in the courtyard door that was still closed just now, stretched out their heads, and when you wanted to go back to inquire again, people slammed the door and locked the door again, and the family picked up a stick and wooden stick and threatened inside: "Go quickly, if you don't go, you will be killed as a thief!" ”

Fox Otomo had to push the door door, and the door of the courtyard of the person who moved away must have been closed from the outside, so he could push it open with a light push with his hand.

In the end, it was hard to find a family with no one. In order to avoid misunderstanding, Hu Xiaomei asked Thirteen to go to the house next door to inform her.

Thirteen knocked on the door for a long time and no one paid attention, and when a few people came in, they heard that there were people in this house, but no one answered at this time, so Thirteen stood outside the courtyard gate and said inside: "...... We were just passing by and saw that there was no one next door, and wanted to borrow the next door for a night. Leave early tomorrow morning. ”

There was no reply for half a day.

Thirteen had no choice but to say again outside the door: "Thank you so much!" ”

After speaking, he returned to the courtyard here and said to Hu Xiaomei: "It's over, but no one pays attention to me." ”

"Alright." Just tell each other their intentions openly, and they will leave early tomorrow morning anyway.

There is a place to live, Fox Xiaomei asked Thirteen to help move all the things into the house, and Fox Dayou was about to close the courtyard door, when he suddenly helped him from the outside, and walked in with no one around.

Fox Dayou shouted: "What are you doing? Then he froze.

The fox Xiaomei and others in the house ran out together. I was also stunned.

Men and women came in, men in their forties, skinny, tattered, and somewhat short. The woman was an old woman, sixty or seventy years old, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, not as thick as the cotton clothes on the fox Dayou, supported by a man, with a pale face, fluffy hair, and a strip of cloth tied to her left leg, and there were faint traces of blood on the strip of cloth, I don't know if it was painful or cold, she was shivering all the time, and she looked extremely weak.

When the man heard the fox big friend shouting, he hurriedly stopped, bent down and hooked his back and said, "This brother, you are good, let me and my mother rest here for one night." We searched for a lot of people, but no one paid attention. My mother fell her leg and couldn't move, so you can do it......"

"Big, big brother, you can do it, let the two of us rest for the night." At this time, the injured old woman also weakly begged the fox to speak, Xu is that she fell a little hard, and her voice was very weak, and after saying such a sentence, she gasped for breath several times. A picture that could fall at any moment.

If you want to say that on weekdays, if someone is in such trouble, he will definitely help, but in this stall......

Fox Dayou frowned, his face embarrassed. (To be continued.) )

PS: Happy New Year's Day to everyone!
