When Xiaoju's family walked outside Nanyang City, they found that along the city wall outside Nanyang City, they had been built everywhere with shelters, looking at the dense shelters and people who came in and out like them, dressed in tattered clothes and full of Henan accents, Xiaoju's family knew that these people were like them, they were all deserters.

Xiao Ju looked up at the black shack, and it was estimated that there were at least hundreds of thousands of people fleeing the desert gathered here. It seems that they arrived in Nanyang very late. I don't know if I can find a safe and secure place to build a shed first and settle down.

After all, Liu Zhu was the only middle-aged man among the four people, so he naturally took the responsibility of the second sister to take care of the second sister's family. At this time, looking at the black and oppressive fellow outside Nanyang City, he also started to worry. With so many people surviving here, it seems that the future will not be easy. But the most important thing now is to find a place to settle down.

"Second sister, you take Xiaoju and Zhuang Zhuang to stay here to rest, I'll look around first to see if there is a place where I can build a shed!" Liu Zhu looked at Xiao Ju, who was distracted, and said to Xiao Ju Niang, who was full of sorrow, when he saw the dense crowd of escapees gathered outside Nanyang City.

"Good! Pillars, as long as it's an open space, don't bother that god too much! Looking at so many people, the good open space must be long gone! "Xiao Ju Niang is a more pragmatic person, not to mention that she is not a person who has not endured hardships and poverty, so let's settle down at this time.

Xiao Ju never thought that Nanyang would gather so many escapees, but it broke all her ideas all the way. It turned out that she thought that after arriving here and entering the city, she would find a way to live in an inn, let a few people in the family clean up, buy some clean and tidy clothes to wear, and then slowly find a house, rent or buy, and settle down.

But now looking at these victims outside the city, it has definitely brought a lot of pressure to the Nanyang government, and the Nanyang government must have many restrictions for the safety of the residents in the city, in addition to having a certain degree of comfort for these victims. It seems that it is impossible to enter the city and live in peace all of a sudden. can only be like what my uncle said, first find a place to build a shed, and then settle down.

Soon, Liu Zhu, who went out to find a vacant land, returned, but his face did not have the joy of finding an open space. Xiaoju couldn't help but think, is there really so many people that there is no place to build a shed?

"Second sister, there is a mass graveyard in the north far from the city gate, only there is still a place to build a shed!" Liu Zhu looked at the eyes of the second sister's family of three staring at him, and said a little anxiously.

As soon as Xiao Juniang heard Liu Zhu's words, her face darkened, she lived in a mass graveyard, and when something filthy collided with her precious children, where did she cry?

Xiao Ju looked at her mother's face, and knew that she was unwilling to let everyone live in a mass graveyard, although she didn't guess the reason, but in this situation, how could there be a choice? So he said a little coquettishly: "Mother, I and Zhuang Zhuang are so tired, we have been running for more than half a year, and we haven't slept well for a night, and we have eaten a meal comfortably!" ”

When Xiao Ju Niang heard this, her heart ached and softened, and when she saw the sheds built everywhere, she also knew that it was impossible to find a good piece of land, and then looked at the endless stream of people fleeing from the desert on the official road behind her, knowing that if she didn't hurry up, maybe the mass graveyard would be empty!

"Go ahead! Let's stay first! Xiao Juniang gritted her teeth and said.

As soon as Liu Zhu heard this, he hurriedly ran to the front to occupy a position. I hope that in a few minutes, the vacant land with a better location that he is optimistic about is not occupied.

When Xiao Ju Niang came to the mass graveyard that Liu Zhu said, she found that there were already a lot of sheds and a lot of escapees. When Liu Zhu was found, Xiaoju was very satisfied with the place Liu Zhu chose to build a shed. This place is located on a small hillside, and if you build a shed here, you will not be afraid of water entering the shed on rainy days.

Xiao Ju took out some daily necessities that were placed in the small space. "Xiaoju, do you have a firewood knife?" Liu Zhu is already a little accustomed to Xiao Ju taking out some things out of thin air from time to time. At this time, it is natural to ask.

"Yes! What are you going to do? Xiao Ju looked at Liu Zhu puzzled.

"I'm going to do the others and cut some grass and build a hut! I thought we might have to stay here for a long time, and I was going to make it sturdy and spacious, so that we could live more comfortably! Liu Zhu smiled and said what he thought. At this time, he was in a good mood, and finally came to Nanyang safely with his second sister's family, although he was a little worried about his father and mother who went to Zheng Zhou, but no matter what, the heart he carried along the way was finally able to let go.

"That's right! It's still the uncle who is thoughtful! Xiao Ju took out the firewood knife from the miscellaneous room in the small space and handed it to Liu Zhu, and said approvingly.

"Uncle, I'll go mowing the grass with you! Build a shed with you! Zhuang Zhuang now divides himself into the strong man in the family, and at this time, seeing that Liu Zhu is going to mow the grass, he hurriedly threw down the things he was sorting out in his hand, and ran over to look at Liu Zhu with bright eyes.

"This ...... Zhuangzhuang, you're too young! It's better to stay here to help your mother and sister take care of things, and when you are older, your uncle will definitely take you! Liu Zhu looked at his nephew's small body with some embarrassment.

When Zhuang Zhuang heard this, didn't his uncle underestimate him? He straightened up his small body and said seriously: "Uncle, I am also the man of the family, and of course I have to do a job like mowing the grass and building a shed!" As for the fact that there are not many things to tidy up here, it is enough to have my mother and sister! ”

"Uncle, you can take him there! Let him know how easy it is to mow the grass as he thinks! If you save all day and night, you always think you're an adult! Xiao Ju said without raising her head while cleaning up the pots and pans she took out.

"Well, Pillar, you can take him there! The children of the poor are in charge early! It's also to let him learn well, so that he always has to worry about his sister! Xiao Ju Niang was also on the side to help.

When Zhuang Zhuang heard that his mother and sister were in favor of him following his uncle to mow the grass, he looked at his uncle with a smug face. Liu Zhu couldn't, so he had to take Zhuang Zhuang towards the dense grass.

Fortunately, there was dense grass outside this mass graveyard, and the two of them did not go far, plus there was a lot of grass, and it was easy to cut it. Zhuang Zhuang is not unable to help, Liu Zhu cut in front, and Zhuang Zhuang cleaned up the grass he cut in the back and piled it on the ground. These two people can be regarded as a tacit understanding.

Two hours later, Liu Zhu and Zhuang Zhuang came back with a large pile of thatch, while Xiao Ju and the others put the thatch away, and hurriedly took out the pancakes and cabbage soup that had been prepared in the kitchen of the small space, and the family of four started the first meal in Nanyang.
