After a while, someone had already come from the north, and the first one was a young man, who was driving a horse, and the horse was carrying a large cloth bag, which looked bulging, and looked like it should be his whole possessions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The man walked past Jiang Hexing and the others, looked at them twice, and said, "Hurry up, the Yellow River is coming." ”

Before Jiang Hexing and the others could react, the man drove his horse and hurriedly walked south.

Immediately after that, one after another, those who drove horses, those who led oxen, and those who sat in carts, along the road, gathered into a torrent and went forward. Almost no one paid attention to Jiang Hexing and the others, even if they walked in front of them, they just hurried by. Zhang Meng and Li Bin wanted to ask, but they were obviously impatient, and they didn't raise their heads, and hurriedly ran south.

There are more and more people on the road, and the wheat fields on both sides of the road are also crowded, running quickly towards the south.

At this moment, a man came from the north, with a broken straw hat on his head, a short-brown linen cloth of natural color, and a pair of straw sandals under his feet. The man was about 40 years old and drove an ox cart.

The ox cart was dirty, and there were a lot of yellow mud dots on it. There was a middle-aged woman in the car, and a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, all dressed plainly, all in linen skirts.

The middle-aged man kept waving his whip and shouting at the ox in front of him, but despite this, the ox cart still walked very slowly. The scalper walked up, with white smoke coming out of his mouth, his body was already red, and he was sweating a lot. In such weather, Zhou Ren stood under the willow tree, looking at the poor cattle, and felt a little unbearable.

The cattle herder, perhaps realizing that someone was looking at him, glanced up at Zhou Ren and the others, and saw a group of people from the river line, some strange costumes, and two huge four-wheeled carriages.

He looked twice, then turned his head and continued to swing his whip. The scalper lowered his head and quickened his pace. Maybe he realized something, turned his head and stared straight at Zhou Ren.

Zhou Ren also looked at him, with a faint yellow beard and a cloudy right eye, a big red mole was particularly eye-catching. Zhou Ren's eyes widened, leaned forward, and carefully looked at the man who was driving the cattle.

The two looked at each other for a while, Zhou Ren took two steps forward, came to the man and said, "Are you Uncle Li?" ”

The man pulled the reins, stopped the ox, put the whip on the cart, turned around and grabbed Zhou Ren and said, "Zhou Ren, it's you, I haven't seen you for several years, how are you doing?" ”

Zhou Ren didn't answer, but said: "Uncle Li, this is okay, you drive the ox cart to the side of the road first, let your cattle rest for a while, eat something, and let's talk about it." ”

Zhou Ren nodded, drove the ox cart to the south of the carriage, Zhou Ren helped the ox untie the reins, led the ox to the roadside meadow to the south, and let the ox graze here and rest.

Here pulled Zhou Ren to meet everyone, but the wife and daughter in the car refused to see anyone, and they were not reluctant.

Because Jiang Hexing came out this time, he didn't want to be too eye-catching, so Zhou Ren took this person to Li Bin.

Zhou Ren came to Li Bin and introduced: "This is my owner, like you, also surnamed Li." ”

Li Bin greeted this person very politely, only to know that this person's name is Li Kang, and he is from the same village as Zhou Ren. When Zhou Ren was young, his brother and sister-in-law were not very good to him, but this Li Kang helped Zhou Ren a lot, so Zhou Ren has always been nostalgic.

Li Bin hurriedly asked people to take out dry food, and sent someone to send it to Li Kang's wife and daughter.

Li Kang was very grateful and talked about his experience. There is a river to the west of Li Kang village, and the water of the Yellow River has been flowing over for a few days, more and more, and it is getting bigger and bigger, and then the water of the Yellow River overflows out of the ditch and rushes directly into the village.

The people in the village originally planned to find a high place to avoid the water, but who expected that the water was getting more and more. The houses in the village were all adobe houses, and there were blisters, and for half a day, they all fell into the water.

Li Kang's family was quite early, and when they saw that the momentum was not right, Li Kang set up the ox cart and brought valuable belongings. I didn't even have a decent piece of iron at home, and the rest was not easy to bring, just a few clothes.

Li Kang also said that he was not the only one, but several other families in the village came here, including Zhou Ren's eldest brother Zhou Zhi.

Hearing the mention of the eldest brother Zhou Zhi, Zhou Ren's attitude was a little cold, but he still asked about the whereabouts of the eldest brother's family.

Li Kang told him that they were together when they came out, there were too many people on the road, and after walking for two days, they couldn't find each other, and he should be behind him, not too far.

Zhou Ren nodded, and didn't ask too much about the other situation of the eldest brother's family, Li Kang knew that their eldest brother had occupied the family property and didn't give much to his younger brother, and he had treated Zhou Ren as a slave since he was a child, so Zhou Ren's cold attitude was also deserved.

Whether it was Jiang Hexing next to him or Li Bin, he didn't know much about Zhou Ren's previous affairs, and thought that there was no one at home.

Li Kang didn't talk about other things about Zhou Ren, so he was pulled by Li Bin, asked him about the cold, and asked him why the Yellow River was coming in this direction.

After all, Li Kang came from the disaster area and knew more. In the northeast, the terrain is higher, and the water cannot flow through, so it comes to the southwest again, so now the water of the Yellow River is spreading to this side.

Everywhere the Yellow River went, houses collapsed, crops were damaged, and people were displaced. Now Wei County, Dong County, and several counties in the east are almost miserable, the highlands are better, and the flat depressions are almost all Zeguo.

Now there is almost nowhere to go in the northeast direction, because there is water everywhere, and there is no way to get there. Even if the water is shallow in some places, there are swamps, ponds, everywhere, and there is almost no way to go.

Refugees now have to go west and south in search of a safe place.

Li Kang is now going west and south, but now the Yellow River is chasing after him.

Fortunately, the area through which the water flows is particularly large, and now the water flow is not very fast, and some places are similar to people walking, as long as they keep walking, it is basically safe.

Li Bin chatted with him for a long time and told him about the journey. Li Bin nodded frequently, and he began to understand the situation inside. In the end, Li Bin gave him some dry food and told him that when he went to Junoze, he would have a place to go, and he could eat well and dress warmly.

Although Li Kang didn't believe it too much, Zhou Ren stepped forward to explain again, Li Kang was half skeptical, but looking at Zhou Ren's dress, it was neat and tidy. Li Kang asked, "Zhou Ren, have you been doing well in the past few years?" I haven't seen the clothes you are wearing, and you tell me the truth, what Mr. Li Bin said just now is true. ”

Zhou Ren said: "Uncle Li, I'll tell you the truth, I have never been hungry in the past few years, I eat fish and meat, and I can eat salt in the dishes as much as you like." ”

Li Kang took two steps back, looked at Zhou Ren again, and said: "Don't say anything else, just be able to eat a full stomach, I don't have any other extravagant hopes, as for the salt can be eaten casually, how is that possible?" ”

Although Li Kang didn't fully believe it, Zhou Ren had always been honest since he was a child, and he almost didn't have time to lie. Just as he was hesitating, Zhou Ren ran to the carriage, took out a packet of white salt, and handed it to Li Kang.

Li Kang put the salt in his hand, tasted it, grabbed Zhou Ren, and nodded again and again: "This is really salt, can we also eat such salt?" ”

Zhou Ren nodded, pointed to the salt bag and said: "This is for you, if you go to us, you can eat this every day, it is much cheaper than the salt here, you will know when you go." ”

Li Kang said: "Zhou Ren, I believe you, I'll go to Juyeze." ”

For a total of half an hour, Li Kang drove the ox cart on the road again, but this time the target was to go towards Junoze. (To be continued.) )
