Solvasf's words made Riltov's heart a mess, they were going to be fugitives. Previously, the propaganda in the village had been saying that the fugitives would not end well, and even if they fled to Romania, they would be locked up. And those who captured the fugitives were considered traitors and shot by the Ministry of the Interior.

So Riltov hesitated a little when he learned from his friend that they were going to flee. Although the family can't open the pot, this kind of desperate behavior is still very uncomfortable for him.

Especially the current situation is even more frightening for Riltov, because some people in the village who have been to other places say. There is no way to live outside, and some people are so hungry that they go to the cemetery to renovate the bodies that have been buried.

Seeing the hesitation in Riltov's eyes, Solvasev whispered. "Think about it, my family is going to leave the village in two days. I've had enough of everything here, and I'm afraid I'll starve to death like everyone else if I don't leave. ”

After saying that, Solvasv glanced around vigilantly and left, while Riltov returned home full of concern.

"Riltov, find nothing today."

His wife, Jakarina, asked with concern with wide eyes.

"Here's the food I found today."

Riltorf carelessly took out the dead crow he had picked up and handed it to his wife's swollen hand.

"Do you have something on your mind?"

Riltov's state was immediately seen by his wife, as a person close to him, Jackalina knew her husband very well, unless she encountered something difficult to solve, Riltov would not be so casual. You must know that food is very precious to everyone at present, and her husband used to hand it to him carefully, for fear of losing it.

"It's okay, you can take it and cook it first, everyone is hungry."

Perhaps the food had too much of an effect on the hungry wife, who did not continue to ask her husband. A crow and the grass roots they found, a pot of grass root stew crows can be completed in no time.

The actions of plucking the feathers and washing the grass roots were quickly completed with the cooperation of the family, and after a while, smoke came out of the house. The family looked at the grassroots stewed birds in the pot and swallowed, and their eyes went straight to the boiling broth in the pot.

When the soup was ready, everyone was given a bowl of soup and some boiled grass roots.

The soup was not evenly distributed, with Riltov and his son serving the most, while his wife, sister and mother had the least.

This distribution also has the philosophy of survival, and the child is the future of the family, so it needs to be divided. Riltov was the only male in the family, and he needed to go out in search of food, and he needed to get some more. As for the wife, sister and mother, they only need to find some grassroots in the surrounding area, and the physical exertion is very small, so they should be divided.

The family ate quickly, and in the blink of an eye, his son Philikri drank all the soup and finished eating the grass roots. Then he looked at his grandmother intently.

"I can't eat it, Philikri, you can take it and drink it."

The grandson's gaze made the mother pass the bowl over.

"Philippe ......"

The stern gaze from his father, Riltov, made his son Felikli not dare to take the soup handed by his grandmother at all, and he could only swallow his saliva and stare at the bowl of soup that was left.

"What are you doing here, Riltov, I can't finish eating and give it to my children?"

Seeing that the son stopped the grandson's behavior, the mother rebuked Riltov.

"Mother, don't talk stupidly, you can't finish this soup, at most I'll bring more prey back next time."

Riltov replied to his mother with a bitter face. He didn't know that his mother felt sorry for her grandson, but if this continued, his mother's swollen body couldn't stand it at all, and sooner or later he would be dragged down.

The village was not without starvation, they were swollen and then rapidly emaciated, and finally they were completely skinny and bones when they died.

He didn't want his family to end up like this in the future, so he waited for the whole family to finish eating. Riltov opened the conversation. "Today I came back and met Solvasf, and he told me something."

After drawing the attention of the family, Riltov continued. "Solvasf told me that they were going to move."

Hearing her husband's words, the wife couldn't help but say. "Where are they going to move, and now there is famine everywhere. Could it be ......?"

Speaking of this, the wife thought of a possibility, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes, because the next topic is a taboo in Ukraine.

The wife said in a low voice. "They want to go to Romania?"

"Yes."

Riltov confirmed his wife's words, and instantly there was an inexplicable atmosphere in the family.

"And Solvasv came over to ask me if I was going, I wanted to ask your opinion."

Riltov's words made the family explode immediately.

"Dad, can you eat enough in Romania?"

Son Philikri asked curiously.

"Absolutely, I heard from my classmates that in Romania you can choose whether to go to the factory or farm. The money earned is enough to eat bread and drink milk every day. ”

My sister said that she learned about the situation from her classmates.

Hearing that he could eat bread and milk, his son said excitedly. "Then let's go."

Riltov ignored his son's words, but looked at his mother and wife.

"I've heard that the people on the Romanian side eat well, better than when the Tsar was there."

Although the wife did not say whether she would go or not, her attitude had already been expressed.

His mother asked about him. "What do you think of Riltov?"

It was only then that the family remembered that Riltov had not spoken his mind. Facing the inquiring gaze of his family, Riltov said with a bitter face. "I don't know. I've heard it's dangerous over there. If you get caught, you're going to be shot. ”

Yes, it is better to go to Romania than it is now, but the danger of death is terrifying, and the fear of death is not accepted by many people.

"But I'm dying of hunger."

The child's words were a blow to Riltov, who was worried about danger, and looking at his son, who was big and small, Riltov didn't know what to say.

"It's better to be shot than to starve, at least we have a chance to live. If I continue like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to go if I want to. If you go, at least there is hope, and if you don't go, you will really starve to death. ”

My sister, who had much less concern, couldn't help it, and she stood up to express her attitude. That is, being caught and shot and starving to death, this kind of hunger is too uncomfortable.

Driven by her sister, her son and wife all stood on her side. Now only Riltov and his mother remain. But Riltov knew that as long as he made his own decision, his mother would not object.

"Then we'll go along, and I'll go to Solvasf tomorrow to talk about it."

Riltov made his decision, and he continued. "Now we just need to bring a few clothes, and as for food, I'll see if we can find a way."

"To avoid long nights and dreams, it's best to find Solvasf tonight."

Mother thought it would be best to go to Solvasf tonight.

"It's fine."

After saying that, Riltov went out the door. He went to Solwasv to explain his decision, and by the way, discussed how the two families should go.

The family then began to pack their bags, and on a moonlit night, the Riltov and Solvasv families quietly left the desperate village without alarming anyone.
