Chapter 695: All the way to the east
Chapter 695: All the Way East (Page 1/1)
Li Jiatai in the summer was lifeless, and there was no laughter at all in previous years. At this moment, no one is laughing at the stupid behavior of Ding Tao's family.
The government officials had just arrived in the village, and the few surplus food that the people had in their homes had been taken away. Most of the families mortgaged their fields to the gentry before they barely paid the summer tax, how can they survive in the next few days!
Ding Tao's family was very thin like everyone else, but their faces were more rosy than others. This is rare when the villagers are starving and unable to move.
There are obviously a lot fewer people in the village, and it is obvious that they can only wait for death if they stay, and they can still have a little way to live when they go out to be a homeless person. As time passed, there were fewer and fewer people in the village. Ding Tao stood at the entrance of the village and looked into the distance, knowing that his family was also leaving.
The reason why their family has persisted longer than others is entirely due to the locusts, and every time they stew wild vegetables and grass roots, they put a handful of locust powder.
The wild vegetables produced in this way not only have the taste of chicken, but also fight hunger than eating wild vegetables dry. But no matter how much the locusts collect, they can't be eaten as food, and there will always be a day when they are finished.
One morning, Ding Tao took his family on the road of wandering, and during this time, many homeless people passed by their Lijiatai. From the mouths of these homeless people, Ding Tao heard about something.
There is a way to live all the way east, and the displaced people do not know the truth of this news, but in this year of disaster and famine, hope can always give people motivation.
Ding Tao took his wife and children to identify the next direction and walked towards the east. That's the benefit of leaving home at the end, not wandering aimlessly.
But there are also many disadvantages, and everything that can be eaten on the road has been swept away. Even the ground was turned up more than three feet deep, and the hungry people ate everything they could swallow.
At this time, not to mention the bark and grass roots, the heels and weeds on the ground are not visible. The road was littered with homeless people who had fallen to their deaths, and many villages had become deserted ghost domains.
This is the fifth day that Ding Tao's family has come out, and they have joined a small wave of displaced people. There were only a few hundred homeless people in this group, and most of them did not know each other.
In order to survive the chaotic disaster year, they gathered together to keep warm. The number of people in this group is very varied, a few people have joined today, and a few more people will go out tomorrow and never come back.
"Mother! I'm hungry! The dog moved in Li's arms, looking at his mother holding him.
Li sighed helplessly, and whispered in his son's ear: "The dog is left to endure it, and when Dad comes back, there will be something to eat!" ”
Looking at the child's expectant eyes, Li put his hand into his arms and took out a handful of powder for a long time. Gou Yu's eyes were suddenly full of brilliance when he saw the powder, and he quickly took Li's hand in his mouth and sucked it hard.
Looking at his son's satisfied look, a smile appeared on Li's face. At that moment, a sharp voice sounded around them, and the sound was as ugly as two tiles rubbing together.
"Yo! What do Ding's baby cubs eat? So happy! ”
Li Shi's face changed when he heard this voice, and he turned his head to look at the other party and roared fiercely: "Widow Wang, get away from the old lady!" If you beat the dog's leftover idea again, the old lady will kill you! ”
As he spoke, Li picked up a kitchen knife and made a vicious gesture at the widow Wang, as long as she dared to take a step forward, she would immediately cut it down.
The widow Wang just stopped and did not retreat, she looked at the dog with greedy eyes for a while before saying leisurely: "You can still raise a baby in this troubled world, you husband and wife must have hidden food!" ”
Her words immediately attracted the greedy eyes of the surroundings, and many pairs of eyes looking at the Li family and son were full of greed. Hungry people can do anything, especially when they hear the word "eat".
When Li heard the words of the widow Wang, he said, "Oh! All of a sudden, the little locust powder in her arms was the lifeblood of their family. If this group of people knew about it, it would be robbed in a blink of an eye.
She jerked to her feet, keeping the dog behind her. Hysterical shouted: "Widow King! You are a broom star, you killed your own man, and sold your son as a vegetable man. Now I'm going to fight the idea of the dog again, and the old lady is fighting with you! ”
Li no longer hesitated with a kitchen knife in his hand, and rushed towards the widow Wang with a waving it. She showed no mercy at all, and slashed at the top of the widow's head.
Ever since the couple and their son joined the homeless team, Widow Wang has come to the door many times to send the dog to be a vegetable man. The so-called vegetable man is to send the dog leftovers to other people's mouths, Ding Tao and his wife clearly refused on the spot, for which Ding Tao also hacked a strong man to death.
If it weren't for the husband and wife being ruthless, the dog would have become food in other people's stomachs. Today, Widow Wang seems to have seen something, if the Li family endures it any longer, and if they don't wait for Ding Tao to come back, their mother and son will disappear.
Widow Wang didn't expect the Li family to really cut it down and fight hard, she was so frightened that she turned around and fled. Li chased out more than a dozen steps before he listened, and shouted viciously at the figure of the widow Wang: "Let the old lady see you again, and cut you alive!" ”
Li didn't dare to chase too far, first, she was so hungry that she had no strength, just now she was desperate with Widow Wang. The second is that she can't leave her son alone in the same place, surrounded by ill-intentioned eyes, and the dog can't survive without adult care.
It wasn't until the sun turned west that Ding Tao came back, and today he was lucky enough to bring back two mice. In this year of famine, catching rats is the greatest luck.
Watching his son gobble down a mouse, a smile appeared on Ding Tao's face. He and his wife shared another mouse, and after watching her husband chew and swallow all the rat bones, Li said about the widow of the king during the day.
Ding Tao, who was chewing bones, suddenly stopped, he thought for a while and said, "I can't stay here, let's leave tonight!" ”
……
"Dog leftovers! Dog leftovers! ……”
The dazed dog Yu opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was still pitch black, he muttered, "Daddy! Sleepy! Let me sleep a little longer! ”
"Dog leftovers! Don't sleep, let's go on a night trip and get up quickly," Ding Tao whispered eagerly in his son's ear.
At this time, the dog came to his senses, got up from the dry grass, and quietly left behind his parents. The family walked very carefully, for fear of waking up the others.
It was only when they walked out of the camp that they breathed a sigh of relief, and it was only at this moment that the hearts of the three of them relaxed. At the same time, the husband and wife reached into their arms, took out a small handful of powder, stuffed it into their mouths, and gave their son a little.
The slight smell of chicken made the faces of the three of them smile, and just as their family relaxed, a woman's voice came from the front: "You don't sleep so late, what are your family stealing here?" ”
