The sun came out, and Sun Ergou woke up from his slumber, feeling the hunger in his stomach again. He reluctantly stood up www.biquge.info pen "Fun" pavilion, and first habitually glanced in the direction of the county gate. Earlier, there were people who gave porridge there, although the porridge was so clear that it could almost be used as a mirror, but it was porridge after all, and a few rice grains could be found in a bowl of porridge. It's just that some time ago, even such porridge was gone. These days, Sun Ergou can only barely survive by looking for tree bark, grass roots, insects, moss, and all kinds of other things that can fill his belly. Sun Ergou knew that relying on these things, he wouldn't last long. Yesterday morning, Bai Youcai, the third elder of the Bai family who escaped from his hometown with him, fell asleep and never woke up; The morning before yesterday, his eldest brother, Sun Da, had not woken up; The morning before yesterday, Bai Youtian, the second eldest member of the Bai family, did not wake up; Earlier...... At the beginning, Sun Ergou was still a little sad when he died, but now, someone has died, even if his eldest brother is dead, Sun Ergou doesn't feel so sad.

Sun Ergou gently kicked Bai Youwu, who was sleeping next to him, but Bai Youwu didn't move.

"Another one died?" Sun Ergou thought like this, and suddenly remembered the earthworm that Bai Youwu caught under a stone yesterday afternoon, it was a fat and tender earthworm, three inches long, and its pink body was glowing with a seductive halo, writhing in Bai Youwu's hand. Bai Youwu swallowed the earthworm in one bite.

"Grandma, I knew you were going to die today, so I might as well leave that earthworm for me to eat yesterday." Thinking like this, Sun Ergou prepared to leave this big tree that had no bark and try his luck everywhere to see if he could find anything.

At this time, Bai Youwu opened his eyes, and stretched out his hand, held the trunk of the tree, and slowly stood up.

Bai Youwu also habitually glanced in the direction of the city gate, although he had long lost hope in his heart. However, however, the gates of the city, which had been closed, slowly opened.

"Ergou, Ergou, look, the city gate, the city gate is open!" Bai Youwu said expectantly.

"Quick, quick! Could it be that someone is giving soup again! Fast! Sun Ergou ran in the direction of the city gate, and Bai Youwu stumbled behind.

When the two of them ran to the city gate, they really saw someone setting up a big water tank at the city gate, and someone shouted: "Don't mess around, everyone has something to eat!" "It looks like someone is really giving porridge again.

Kong Ergou's eyes were red when he saw the big vat, and he couldn't care so much, so he pounced directly, and then was knocked to the ground by a stick.

"Get out of line, you don't have to eat if you don't line up." The man with the rod and his face was full of flesh and scolded viciously. Bai Youwu stopped suddenly, he glanced at the man's arm that seemed to be thicker than his thigh, then at the stick in his hand, and then noticed that there was a group of such fierce and vicious people standing there, all with sticks in their hands and knives hanging from their waists. Bai Youwu estimated the length of the line, glanced at the jar again, and estimated that he could catch up with a bowl, so he hurriedly ran to the team.

At this time, Kong Ergou also barely got up and followed the team.

"Don't panic, don't panic, there's a bowl for everyone!" A man standing on the edge of the vat shouted. However, neither Bai Youwu nor Sun Ergou had the heart to listen to what he said now, and everyone's eyes were staring at the big vat.

The team slowly moved forward, and finally arrived at Shirayuya, where one hand handed him a large bowl, while another wiped a red pen on his head. But Bai Youwu couldn't care about these anymore, he picked up the bowl and took a sip, his mouth was full of the fragrance of rice, and there were at least a dozen grains of rice in this mouthful! Bai Youwu hadn't drunk porridge with so much rice for a long time, and as this porridge was swallowed, many of the past things he had long forgotten were remembered again, and it was still when he had a house and a field at home, and life was endless. Now, my father is long gone, my mother-in-law is gone, the big pillar is gone, the second pillar, the eldest girl, the second child, and the third child are also gone! While drinking porridge non-stop, Bai Youwu's tears also dripped into the bowl one by one.

The bowl of porridge was quickly drunk, and Bai Youwu stuck out his tongue and licked the last bit of juice under the bowl. He felt a little more heat in his body, so he put the bowl next to the soup kitchen stall as they did. Kong Ergou also finished drinking at this time, and he pulled the white house: "There is a house, quickly, let's go to the back to line up and drink another bowl!" ”

However, at this moment, they saw that the person who knocked Sun Ergou to the ground with a stick just now pulled out a person from the crowd standing in line, and then used the stick in his hand to beat his head and face, and scolded while beating back: "Dog things, I want to eat them after I have eaten them, Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”

Bai Youwu looked at it and saw that there was a red patch on the man's hair, he looked at Sun Ergou again, and found that Sun Ergou also had a patch of red on his head. Then he looked around at the people who had finished their porridge or were eating, and a piece of their hair was dyed red.

"Ergou, do I have red on my head too?" Bai Youwu hurriedly asked.

"Of course." Sun Ergou also understood at this time. This color can probably be washed away, but the nearest river is really far from here, and if you come and go, it will definitely be dispersed long ago.

Since this was the case, Sun Ergou and Bai Youwu sat down in a sunny place by the city wall, watching the others receive porridge and drink porridge. After a while, when all the people who were able to walk on their own had finished drinking, they put away the porridge stall, and a man with a loud voice shouted, "Listen, you all listen, this porridge will be given for another half a month." Half a month later, there was no more! ”

"Huh?" Bai Youya was taken aback.

"No one is raising you in vain, and if you want to eat enough, it's easy! Master Zheng of Fujian wants to recruit tenants to open up wasteland on the island, and pack two meals a day! It's all guaranteed to be dry! If you are willing to go, you can come to me and sign up, and you will have food every day in the future. ”

This condition made Bai Youwu very excited, but now that he has eaten a little more, he can think about it a little bit.

"You have a house, will you go?" Sun Ergou asked.

"I want to take a look first, isn't there still half a month? Ergou, what about you? Bai Youwu asked rhetorically.

"I'll take a look first." Sun Ergou also replied.

While the man was shouting, a large pile of things was dragged out of the city gate in a wagon, and a group of people went up to meet them and unloaded them. It turned out to be some kind of bamboo fence or something, and those people used it to enclose a piece of land outside the city gate, and then someone else set up tents inside.

Then the man shouted, "If anyone is willing to go, come to me and draw a charge, and then you can live in it first." Even if we are our people, we will have two meals a day! ”

At this time, a man stepped forward and said to the man who shouted, "I am drawing now, can I have a meal today?" ”

The shouter replied, "Of course! If you draw now, you can eat it again! ”

The man asked, "Where is the drawing?" Someone took out a document and put it in ink, but he didn't look at it, but he just stretched out his hand, dipped it in the ink, and then pressed a handprint on the paper, and then he looked at the mudra and said, "This mud is so red!" Where is the food? ”

With a wave of his hand, someone removed a wooden barrel from the wagon, lifted the lid, picked up a small bowl, and filled the man with half a bowl of white rice.

The man took the white rice, but he didn't eat it immediately, but put it to his nose and sniffed it, and said, "It's so fragrant!" Then he turned around and walked up to a half-grown child, and said to the child, "Ade, did you give your grandfather that bowl of porridge just now?" It's rare, until now, you can still have such filial piety! ”

The boy replied, "Sir, you have taught me that filial piety is the foundation of a person's life. ”

"Well said! Did you know that if you don't eat this meal, you might starve to death tomorrow? The man asked again.

"Sir once said, 'Man is born dead.'" It has been said, 'What desires is greater than the living, and evil is greater than the dead.' The child's voice was still very weak, but it also had a sonorous aura.

"Good! I didn't teach you this student in vain. The man laughed, but pushed the bowl at the boy and said, "What if you and I share the food?" ”

The boy smiled, but did not take the bowl, but stood up, bowed to the man, and then turned to ask the man who had just shouted, "I also want to go to the island to farm, and you may take me?" ”

"What kind of land can you plant, kid?" The man who shouted the words.

"Sir, if you accept me, although I am a child and I don't have enough strength, I will do my best, and I will never be worse than others." The boy replied.

"You little kid, what are you bragging!" The man who shouted said, "Don't go yet, save Lao Tzu ......"

At this moment, a sentence suddenly came from behind: "Ah Fu, leave this child behind." You're looking for two people to bring his grandfather too, and let them draw a charge, which is considered to be a member of my Zheng family! ”

Everyone turned their heads, but saw a man coming out of the back of the carriage.

"Master Cai!" The man who shouted hurriedly saluted the man.

Zheng Cai ignored him and walked directly to the child and the person who wanted to share the bowl of rice with him. He first said to the child, "You're good, a bit like my nephew." Then he said to the man, "Sir is a gentleman who bestows the hall?" I don't know your surname, but can you have a fame? ”

"Don't give your surname Chen. I used to teach, but I didn't have any merit in me, just a boy who couldn't pass the exam. The man replied.

"That's not bad, alas, the scholar actually ......" Zheng Cai also sighed, and then said, "But Mr. Chen, although you don't have a reputation, you are a good person, you and this kid should follow me first, and I will arrange a suitable position for you in the future, do you think it's good?" ”
