Chapter 454: Starvation

The sun rises and a new day begins.

After washing, Wu Yi'an looked around and said, "I remember that the last time I came here, the mountains and forests were full of bird calls, why don't you even have a bird now." ”

Qingshu shook his head helplessly and said, "There are birds, and it has also become someone else's meal." ”

Now is a time of famine, and food is very expensive. Although this bird has no meat, it can fill its belly, and it will not be let go if it is seen.

Wu Yi'an sighed. Since coming to Jiangnan, she has sighed more times than in the previous ten years.

What I ate in the morning was the same as last night, rice with green vegetable broth.

Wu Yi'an watched a group of people eat pitifully, and he could only swallow his saliva on the side.

Hou Wu was a little unbearable, and said to Uncle Yan: "What should I do if the girl is hungry?" ”

Uncle Yan said coldly: "It's just two meals without eating, and you can't die of hunger." ”

For Wu Yi'an to help others without a bottom line, Uncle Yan also felt that it was inappropriate. It's just that he can't be ruthless, and now Qingshu wants to teach Yi An a lesson, he can't ask for it!

Lying back on the carriage, Wu Yi'an said with a bitter face: "Qingshu, give me a glass of water." ”

"Pour it yourself."

Wu Yi'an didn't want to move, and muttered: "I don't have any strength in my body now, you help me fall." ”

This time, there were two carriages, one for the two of them and the other for Lin Chengan. However, the carriage where Lin Chengan was sitting put pots and pans and other things. As for the others, they all rode horses.

Qingshu didn't pour water for her, but asked, "Yi'an, if I heard from you yesterday that you would give food to the victims." Now everyone is just like you, and the whole body is tired. At this time, if there are bandits who come to rob us, then we will be fish on the board for them to slaughter. ”

Wu Yi'an was shocked.

"If we die, my grandmother and your grandfather will have to send the white-haired people to the black-haired people."

After the two got acquainted, Qing Shu knew that the title of Wu Yi'an, the little devil, really did not live up to his name. In fact, she has a very soft heart, and she is very righteous: "Yi'an, it's okay to help people, but you have to protect the people around you first." Then, do what you can. ”

Wu Yi'an hung his head, and said after a long time: "You are right, but I am not thoughtful." ”

Seeing that she really realized her mistake, Qingshu was very happy: "Are you hungry?" ”

Holding his stomach, Wu Yi'an said with a bitter face: "I'm hungry, but I don't have anything to eat." ”

Qingshu smiled first, pushed open the window and said outward, "Sister Shen'er, bring in the food box!" ”

In the morning, she specially told Shen'er to boil porridge, and put vegetables and shrimp in it.

A big bowl of shrimp porridge, Wu Yi'an ate it in the blink of an eye. Wiping his mouth with his hand, Wu Yi'an spread his hands and said, "Ah, I'm finally alive." ”

"The taste of hunger is too unpleasant."

Uncle Yan smiled when he heard Wu Yi'an's angry voice. This trip to Jiangnan was too worthwhile, not only letting his master know the hardships of the people, but also tempering his temperament.

"If Grandpa Guo knows about the girl, he will definitely be very happy."

Wu Yi'an is impulsive and does things all with enthusiasm, but her martial arts talent is extremely high. It's okay to be young, but when you get older, this character will sooner or later lead to a big disaster. For this reason, Zhen Guogong is really heartbroken.

At noon, the group arrived in Taifeng County. No stops, straight to the pier.

Looking at the turbulent river, Wu Yi'an was a little scared: "Qingshu, let's take a carriage!" ”

Qingshu shook his head and said: "That road is narrow and bumpy, it was not easy to walk before, and now the carriage is afraid that it will not be able to walk." ”

Although Wu Yi'an was a little drumming in his heart, he still said: "Forget it, I'll take the boat with you!" ”

Standing on the boat, Wu Yi'an said: "It's a pity that I couldn't see the beautiful scenery you said. ”

Qingshu said that the mountains and rivers here are beautiful and the environment is very beautiful. Last time, she thought about the opportunity to play! But now the river is muddy and smells strange, and the trees on both sides are hung with messy debris.

"The book says that fire and water are ruthless, and it's true."

Qingshu glanced at Wu Yi'an and said, "Fires are generally man-made disasters, not terrible. The common people are afraid of natural disasters, floods, droughts, earth dragons and insect pests. In particular, floods and droughts will cause no harvest and people will not have anything to eat. ”

Wu Yi'an was silent.

Soon arrived at Peach Blossom Village. To Qingshu's surprise, the mud on the dock was cleaned up. The road leading to the village has also been washed.

Entering the village, Qingshu was very shocked. The original earthen houses are basically gone, and the remaining blue brick houses either have lost their roofs or collapsed walls.

Such a house can't be inhabited at all, so Qingshu couldn't help asking, "Uncle Cheng'an, where do all the clansmen live?" ”

Lin Chengan said with red eyes: "There is a wooden shed built on the mountain, go down the mountain to do things during the day, and go back to the wooden shed to sleep at night. ”

The wooden shed provides shelter from the wind and rain, and it is safe to live in. How dare you live in a house here. If you fall asleep and the house collapses, you will be in danger. Having escaped the flood, it would be unjust to be stoned to death by a dilapidated house.

"Has the Lin family's old house also collapsed?"

Lin Chengan nodded and said: "The roof of the old house is gone, but because your third uncle's house is newly built and uses good materials, the house is completely preserved." Your grandmother's funeral was also done at your third uncle's house. ”

Wiping away his tears, Lin Chengan said: "Your grandmother passed away four days ago, and it is likely that she has been buried now." ”

On this hot day, it will stink for four days. This sensitive period will definitely not be parked for too long.

Qingshu said softly: "Uncle Cheng'an, I don't know where the third uncle's house is, you can take me there!" ”

Lin Chengzhi's house was built at the end of the village, and eight houses were built, with blue bricks and tiles. On weekdays, it looks magnificent, but now it is even more conspicuous compared to the collapsed houses in the village.

If the butterfly's eyes are particularly sharp, I saw a group of people from a distance: "Second sister, second sister." Dad, the second sister is back. ”

At this shout, all the people inside came out.

Old lady Lin saw Qingshu with an unkind look in her eyes: "Why did you only come back now?" ”

Lin Chengzhi immediately answered: "Now the road is not easy to walk, and it is messy outside, Qingshu has exceeded my expectations by rushing back so soon." ”

Old lady Lin glared at Lin Chengzhi, and then went back to the house with her hands behind her back.

Lin Chengzhi said kindly: "I was buried the day before yesterday, and I will take you to the grave later." ”

Webster looked Qingshu up and down. I haven't seen her for four years, but I didn't expect this girl to look even more beautiful. In a few years, not to mention the girls in Taifeng County, there will be no one who can compare to her.

Rutong looked at the back of the group and said to Wei: "Mother, that Yi Anding is a girl from a wealthy family. ”

This Wei naturally saw it, but she didn't dare to have any thoughts at this time: "Rutong, don't provoke her." Your third uncle values her the most now, if you annoy her, your third uncle will drive us out, and then we will starve to death. ”

Thinking of the days of enduring cold and starvation in Donggang Mountain, Rutong shivered, and then had no thoughts.
