Chapter 41: Separation

Mu Chenghu and his entourage followed the people of Yanjia Village to the mining area deep in the mountains.

The rest of the people in the mining area were naturally surprised to see a group of people dressed in tatters walking into the mining area.

"Hey, isn't that from Yanjia Village? How did they get here? One of the people in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.

"Really, let's go, go over and ask." The other walked over with a few people next to him.

Several people got the news from the outside world from the mouths of the people in Yanjia Village, and they didn't accept it for a while.

Half a salary, the news of the flood, the plague, and the destruction of Zheng Guo spread in the mining area.

Other people in the mining area came over to ask the people of Yanjia Village about their families.

It's just that the people of Yanjia Village have also gone through hardships and dangers all the way, and they have no time to take care of the situation in other villages, so they have not received useful news.

The mining people in Yanjia Village, when they heard their families say that this journey was thanks to Mu Chenghu and his party after several rescues, they were able to persist here, and they all ran to thank Mu Chenghu and his party.

What surprised Mu Chenghu the most was that the two dead old men also came.

In fact, for the rest of these two families, if it weren't for Mu Chenghu and his party, their own family would have been gone long ago. They may complain about the people of Yanjia Village, but they will never complain about Chenghu and his party, just because there is only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people in these two families, and if it weren't for the people of Mujia Village to save them, they would have been dead long ago. Along the way, they also contradicted others, but they were only soft-spoken.

Mu Chenghu looked at the sincere thanks of the two families, and the depression in his heart for so many days finally dissolved.

In the evening, Mu Chenghu and his party ate the most sumptuous meal since they fled, and they also had a good night's sleep, and their hearts were temporarily calm.

Next, Mu Chenghu and his party stayed in the mining area for a few more days. In the past few days, Mu Qingliu took Qiu Cheng and Mu Qing to collect almost all the medicines nearby, and Wei Ran and Mu Chengtian took the young people in the village to hunt on several nearby mountains.

On this day, Mu Chenghu found the old village chief and said to him, "Brother Yan, I'm here to tell you, we're going to leave tomorrow." ”

The old village chief suppressed the snickering joy in his heart, and said with a reluctant face, "Brother Mu, you really don't think about staying here." ”

"No, but before I leave, I still have to remind Brother Yan. Although this place is safe at the moment, if this place is leaked out from above, you may ......" Mu Chenghu thought about it and decided to remind them, no matter what, everyone is going through hardships together.

After listening to Mu Chenghu's words, the old village chief hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you Brother Mu for the reminder, but it's good for us to be here, the people above may not necessarily come back, besides, I heard that the people above have always been good to them." ”

Seeing this, Mu Chenghu didn't say anything more.

Later, Mu Chenghu found Yan Qisheng, the boss of the mining area.

Yan Qisheng looked at Mu Chenghu who came over and asked, "Is there something wrong with Village Chief Mu looking for me?" ”

"It's nothing, just come and talk to the virtuous nephew, we'll leave tomorrow." Mu Chenghu said.

"Why are you leaving, where can you go if it's so messy outside?" Yan Qisheng still has a good impression of Mu Chenghu and his party, so he is also a little sincere in what he says.

"We can't stay here for long, and it won't be good for everyone if they suddenly come back and see us here." Mu Chenghu found a reason to think he was going.

Sure enough, as soon as Yan Qisheng heard this, he couldn't say anything anymore.

"It's just that we want some iron ore, and I don't know if the virtuous nephew has a way." Mu Chenghu hesitated for a while before saying the purpose of the trip.

Yan Qisheng smiled, "It's not a big deal, you can afford to take it away, now these things are useless in our hands." ”

Mu Chenghu saw this and said happily, "We have collected some medicine over there in the past few days, and we have left you some medicine for headaches, old fever and iron damage, and you can ask people to go over and get it in a while." ”

When Yan Qisheng heard this, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Thank you so much, this thing is exactly what we need the most." I'll have someone come with you right away to get it. ”

In the afternoon, Mu Chenghu and his entourage loaded several truckloads of iron ore according to the previous discussion, which made Li Tiezhu very happy.

Yan Qisheng took a lot of medicine from Mu Chenghu and them, and he was a little reluctant to fill them with the first ten bags of salt.

After all, they don't have much food, even if they don't have a lot, it is unlikely to give them them, but there are two whole rooms of salt, who let their previous master prepare to enter the black salt industry.

Mu Chenghu looked at the first ten bags of salt in the car, his eyes turned green, this is simply a charcoal in the snow!

In the evening, when the people in Yanjia Village practiced for Mu Chenghu and his party, Mu Chenghu asked people to take out a lot of things they had hunted in the past few days.

The next day, when he was leaving, Mu Chenghu asked people to take a lot of seeds for them, and the most important thing was that Mu Chenghu left two ploughing cows for them.

The people of Yanjia Village were embarrassed at this time, after all, they had always thought that they would rob them of their food, who would have thought that they could leave such an important thing to them at the time of parting.

Actually, Mu Chenghu and the others just wanted to repay Yan Qisheng's gift of salt yesterday.

Watching Mu Chenghu and his party go away, the old village chief suddenly felt that he might be wrong, but it was too late to say anything now.

"Third child, although we have gained a lot from hunting these days, these things can only barely make us go to that place, what should we do when we get there?" Mu Chengru looked at the advancing team and said.

"This section of the road is safe for now, and you can hunt as you go." Mu Chenghu kept thinking about this matter all the way over, but obviously didn't think of a better way.

"Third child, have you ever thought about how winter is coming, if everyone has been delayed on the road for a long time and has not built a house, how will everyone survive this winter." Mu Chengru felt that Mu Chenghu had obviously ignored the issue of the season.

Mu Chenghu's head hurt in an instant, and he knew that it was better to stay in the mining area with a thick skin, but now he can only go forward.

"Then let's hurry first! Let's find a way out of the food problem! If not, kill a few old cows! Mu Chenghu said a little upset.

Mu Chengru had no choice but to shut up when he saw him like this, after all, he was under more pressure than anyone else now.

In order to reach the destination as soon as possible, Mu Chenghu had to order everyone to hurry up.

I don't know if it's because the destination is closer, or because everyone thinks they can settle down when they get to the destination, or because of other reasons, everyone rushed more than twice as fast as before.

Mu Chenghu looked at the people who worked so hard, but his worries became heavier and heavier, how would these two hundred people survive this cold winter?

Within a few days, Mu Chenghu fell ill due to excessive worry, which made everyone anxious.

Mu Chengru also blamed himself for this, but this also made Mu Chengru think of a way that was not a solution.

When Mu Chenghu learned the news, his condition instantly improved by more than half.
