"Dad, I'm hungry!"

The little girl sitting in the cart looked at her father behind her pitifully.

Two children sat cross-legged in the narrow trolley space, and the two children were full of longing, looking at the bag of dry food on their father's body.

The father of the two children stopped the cart in his hand, picked up the grain bag with his calloused hands, seriously flashed a trace of hesitation, and quickly put the grain bag back: "Wait a while, we will arrive in Cangzhou soon, and it will be closer to the customs when we arrive in Cangzhou." ”

Although the little girl sitting in the car was hungry, the children of the poor were all in charge early, and the little girl barely showed a smile: "Dad, Ann is not hungry." ”

Listening to his daughter's words, the youngest daughter's father couldn't help but flash a tear in his eyes, today the Yangtze River is flooding, Zhang Si took the family all the way to the north, from Anhui all the way to Shandong, pushing the cart all the way to Shandong, I thought that the days in Shandong would get better, but I didn't expect to just arrive in Shandong, only to find that Shandong is also full of famine, and the local hungry people are fleeing to the Guannei.

Along the way, Zhang Si's family did not bring much food, his wife starved to death on the road in order to let the two children eat more, if it weren't for the two children, Zhang Si would have wanted to hang himself and run to his wife, for the sake of the children Zhang Si could only push a small cart, all the way to the north, embarked on the journey to the east of the country.

The warm spring breeze blowing, Zhang Si looked at the green on the ground, and suddenly had hope, spring is coming, they all say that there is wasteland in the Northeast, and you can live when you get to the Northeast, Zhang Si smiled, increased the strength of his hand, and pushed the cart in his hand to creak.

"Lao Zhang, hurry up and go to Cangzhou immediately, and when you get to Cangzhou, you will enter the border of Hebei."

Trolleys can be seen everywhere on the road from Shandong to Cangzhou. Along the way, there are Shandong people, Jiangsu, Anhui people, the Yangtze River has been flooded, there is a famine in the north, at this time only the northeast is the country in their hearts, there is food, there is land, there is their hope. Along this ancient pipeline, tens of millions of people went all the way north -- to the eastern part of the country.

"Dear villagers, fellow villagers in Cangzhou, I know that my hometown has been hit by a disaster, but now there are a large number of factories in the Northeast that need workers, and factories need workers...... As long as everyone follows us, the Dongmeng Town Guard Mansion will provide free tickets for the villagers. ”

As soon as Zhang Laohan and his group entered Cangzhou City, they saw the soldiers at the gate, a shiny face, wearing a dogskin hat on his head, and a new gray tweed military uniform. Under his feet are shiny riding boots, Yanran is the dress of a Northeast person, but this accent is indeed a Hebei person.

At this time, the streets and alleys of Cangzhou have been plastered with notices of the Dongmeng Town Guard Mansion to absorb immigrants, and most of the immigrants in the three eastern provinces have migrated from Shandong, Hebei and other places.

"And such a good thing? You didn't lie to us as soldiers! ”

These hungry people suffered a lot along the way. Suddenly there was such a good thing, they were a little unconvinced.

Li Benchang stood up. He is a native of Cangzhou, and later came to Fengtian in Guandong, with a good martial arts, he entered He Tianci's troops, and now he is also a sentry commander: "Folks, my hometown is our Cangzhou Sandao archway." My nickname is Er Lai Lai, and now I have become a sentry commander in the new army outside the customs with this good martial arts. ”

"Oh yes, good fellow. did not disgrace our Hebei people, and did not insult the reputation of our Yan Zhao Dahan. ”

"Yes. I really thought of you, and at that time we were also a well-known figure on the streets of Cangzhou, this time we believed it. ”

When Li Benchang was young, with his good martial arts, he was a gangster in Cangzhou City, and he was also quite famous on Cangzhou Street.

"Is there really such a good thing?" confirmed Li Benchang's identity, but the pie in the sky fell from the sky, and these hungry people who suffered all the hardships in the world didn't believe it.

Looking at the expressions of these hungry people, Li Benchang smiled helplessly, if it wasn't for the instructions before leaving, he would have been kind to these hungry people, otherwise he would have led the team to tie these hungry people all the way to Dutaonan, Li Benchang took out the military ID card on his body, and the silver he carried with him and shouted: "Absolutely true, I guarantee in the name of my soldiers, how can we control and the Dongmeng town guard sympathize with the suffering of the people in the Guannei, so I will be able to absorb you and develop Dongmeng." ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Seeing the silver dollar on Li Benchang's body, a young man leaked a greedy expression, stood up abruptly and said: "I will also be a good martial artist, I want to go to Dongmeng, just like you are a soldier, wearing a tweed coat, big leather boots, and a dogskin hat to keep warm." ”

The more he talked, the more energetic he became, looking at Li Benchang's shiny leather shoes, he smirked, and then played tricks in public, Cangzhou people are good at martial arts, and the famous Yanzimen is in Cangzhou, so most of the local young people also know how to use both hands, especially good at legs.

"That's it! Wait until it's time, Taonan, I'll recommend you to the system! Looking at the emaciated young man, Li Benchang smiled, waved his hand and said, "Is there a lot of wasteland and a lot of silver waiting for you?" ”

"I'll go, anyway, I'm like this, I'm a big man, and I'm not afraid of what you deceive." With the young man taking the lead, these people have long been hungry and cold, and they have eaten the last meal without the next meal, this is such a good thing as a ticket, who will not go.

"I'll go too"

"I'll go too."

One stood up, and the others flocked to it, and Li Benchang had to take his brother next to him to maintain order: "Stand up for me, don't squeeze, how many people there are, we can put it down in Dongmeng." ”

Li Benchang and a few brothers finally managed to maintain order, and a thin middle-aged man took advantage of this opportunity to squeeze over and asked softly, "Sir?" I want to ask, can my daughter-in-law and children go? ”

"Yes! Absolutely! This Northeast is not a monk temple, he is also developing, without women, we big men can't have children, right? That's not what we guys say! Li Benchang laughed heartily, with the hometown dialect of Hebei dialect, which also made Cangzhou people feel a little warm.

The wife next to the thin middle-aged man, with a smile finally blooming on her sallow face, leaned against her husband and said: "When we get to the outside of the gate, we will be able to live, and I don't know what kind of control the soldier is talking about, and where the Bodhisattva blesses him and is willing to take in us hungry people."

After hearing this, the worry in Zhang Si's heart was also put down, and the little girl in the cart looked up at the north, a clear sky, and the girl's cute face immediately bloomed like a peach blossom. (To be continued......)
