Chapter 3 The Road to Escape
"This ......" Tie Niu asked cautiously after waiting for a long time, plucking up the courage to be careful; Is there anything else my brother would like to ask? Iron Bull is still in a hurry today? ”
Tie Niu's swarthy face shook in front of him for a long time, and Yang Bo came to his senses, and his nerves hardened after years of hard work in the workplace. He secretly sighed in his heart and comforted himself: "This is already the case...... It's useless to make a crying appearance, and if you come, you will be safe! ”
After figuring it out, Yang Bo raised his head and smiled at Tie Niu: "I don't know where Brother Tie Niu is going to go?" My brother doesn't know the way, so why don't my brothers take me with him? ”
Tie Niu's face was happy: "Okay? If my brother and Tie Niu go all the way, they will take care of each other on the way."
Yang Bo nodded and secretly praised in his heart, this iron bull is really a simple young man.
"Okay, I'll break a branch as a crutch, let's go......"
In this way, Yang Bo staggered on the road with this new time and space, and his newly made friends.
Many of the homeless people passing by him were already dying of hunger, looking at their appearance, Yang Bo couldn't help but shake his head, maybe it would be his turn soon......
"Brother Iron Bull, where are we going now?" After walking for a long time, Yang Bo thought of asking this question
"This road to the capital of Gunzhou ......," Tie Niu replied not very confidently
"It turns out that we are going to Shandong! Iron Bull, aren't you going to go back? Yang Bo stood up and looked ahead, and the mountains in the distance were all yellow and bare.
"Go back? My mother said that it would be a death to go back! Originally, there were a few fields at home, but the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were endless, and they had to barely make ends meet...... "Tie Niu shook his head: "Even if I go back, those few acres of land will now belong to someone else's family......"
"Brother Tieniu, then can you tell me about the situation in Henan Mansion along the way?" Yang Bo finally squeezed out a smile, and the black eyes of following the crowd were not his surname.
“…… There has been no rain in Guide since the end of last year, and there have been such things in previous years, but at that time we did not expect that there would be a full eight months of drought. At this time, it has reached the point where a bucket of rice is sold for four coins of silver," Tie Niu touched his head and said calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
“…… There were often reports of people dying of starvation, but our people said it would rain soon. Everyone was looking forward to the rain of thieves, but they didn't expect the rain to bring the locust plague. Now there are even more people starving to death, whole villages, whole towns. My father said, there is no hope for this day, let's flee......" Tie Niu's eyes turned red, and a few big tears fell. I have seen a lot of sad things along the way, but when it comes to what happened to his relatives, Tie Niu still can't help but burst into tears.
“…… Our family of six followed the fleeing people in this direction for a few days...... My father and mother-in-law will not be able to do it" Tie Niu stopped and cried for a while and said: "After burying them hastily, within a few days, the two younger sisters ...... again"
"Three days ago, my mother also went...... Woowoo"
Speaking of this, Tie Niu stopped and squatted on the side of the road and began to cry, bean-sized tears dripping down his honest face, and he cried like a wronged child.
"I'd rather be a balance dog than a martyr! Alas......" Yang Bo sighed softly and patted Tie Niu's emaciated shoulder.
Because of long-term hunger, the iron bull is left with a wide skeleton, and it feels a little infiltrating when patted.
After walking less than a mile, Yang Bo was already tired and out of breath, and this thin body really couldn't last long in the scorching heat, which made Yang Bo miss the air conditioner blowing at work in the company.
What's worse is that his stomach has been rumbling incessantly, and God knows how long this body has been hungry before taking it?
Seeing Yang Bo's vain steps, Tie Niu said kindly, "Brother, there is a tree in front, why don't we go there and rest for a while."
The two sat in a shady place, and the two were already familiar with talking all the way, and Yang Bo asked directly unceremoniously: "Brother Tieniu, what have you eaten along the way?" ”
Tie Niu was a little stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Yang Bo, "Where is there still food?" The dry food I brought with me had already been exhausted. It's also about what to see and what to eat along the way......"
Yang Bo looked at the trunk of the tree that didn't even have leaves left: "Brother Tie Niu, everything has been eaten all along the way, so how can we get to the Gunzhou Mansion?" ”
Tie Niu never seemed to have thought about this problem, and he shook his head a little blankly: "I don't know, it's good to hear that you have arrived in the Gunzhou Mansion, right?" It's just that...... The Iron Bull has not had anything to lose since the old days. ”
Yang Bo sighed softly, he could understand that Tie Niu was not deeply involved in the world, but he couldn't help but think about these things, and surviving on this road to escape from the famine was the most important task
"That's it, Brother Tie Niu, let's not leave first, let's find some food to fill our stomachs" Yang Bo looked at Tie Niu's face full of longing, and said a little unbearably: "Go forward, I'm afraid it's also a death!" ”
Tie Niu touched his stomach and nodded heavily in agreement.
Looking at the desolate situation around them, the two sat under the tree and were relatively speechless, Yang Bo's proposal was simply to take off his pants and fart, they had been walking for half a day, not to mention what to eat, and they had not even seen the grassroots.
Along the way, hungry people swept through the county like locusts, and they ate everything they could eat. Even the bark of the trees had been stripped away, and several nearby hills were bare.
Tie Niu said that he had seen several instances of hungry people eating people in broad daylight. These homeless people have been hungry for too long, all of them are weak and weak, and they don't know how long they will have to walk to reach Shandong, maybe they can't get up when they fall on the side of the road while walking.
"Alas, a grain of rice is too hard for a hero" Yang Bo leaned against the trunk of the tree, his fate seemed terrible, but Yang Bo knew according to Murphy's Law, or something more tragic awaited him.
In the current situation, even if Bell, who is standing at the top of the food chain in the TV "Survival in the Wilderness", comes, I'm afraid there is nothing to think about, right?
"But brother? If we don't leave like this, it's not a way to lie here all the time? "The iron bull rested for a long time, and the more his stomach rested, the hungrier he became. In the end, I couldn't help but complain to Yang Bo
"Brother Tie Niu, it's not that I don't want to go, it's better to save some physical strength and think of a way to go, it's better to save some physical strength and think of a way" Yang Bo shook his head, he just wanted to explain the meaning of the word physical strength to Tie Niu, and a small black shadow flashed in the corner of his eye......
"What's that? Tractor... Tractor!! Yang Bo stood up violently, pointed to a shriveled hungry corpse on the side of the road, and shouted excitedly.
Unexpectedly, Mu Ne's Iron Bull was far more alert than Yang Bo imagined, and when Yang Bo just stood up, the Iron Bull had already flown out......
