"Dad, when can we get to Qingzhou?" Mu Yao asked weakly.

"It should be soon!" Mu Chenghu said with some uncertainty.

"You say, every day we either have salt vegetables or porridge or preserved duck or preserved chicken, and I am constipated. I don't dislike shepherd's cabbage anymore, my mother-in-law, it's too difficult to have no fresh vegetables every day. Mu Yao complained.

"It's good to have food now that you have this condition, so don't pick it." Liu Wu said helplessly.

"You say it's strange, this river is not only yellow, but there are no aquatic plants growing on the river's side." When Mu Chenghu heard the wild vegetables that Mu Yao said, he thought of it, but there was not a single wild vegetable along the way. There is not a single aquatic plant by the river, which is a little strange.

Hearing Mu Chenghu's words, Mu Yao and Liu Wu both nodded in agreement.

"The big guy got up and left." Mu Chenghu saw that everyone was almost rested, so he beckoned everyone to hurry.

Suddenly, someone shouted at the front of the line "Look, look, there's a green mountain ahead." ”

Everyone raised their heads, and sure enough, they saw several green mountains in the distance, and everyone cheered in an instant.

"Big guy, hope is ahead, as long as we work harder, we should be able to reach the Qingzhou boundary tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Mu Chenghu looked at everyone's happy appearance and gave everyone a shot in the arm.

Hearing Mu Chenghu's words, everyone hurried up and became even more beaten.

The next night, when Mu Chenghu asked everyone to stop and camp, Mu Chenghu could even see everyone's excited expressions. This can't be blamed on everyone, after all, everyone has been desolate everywhere for more than a month.

Mu Yao looked at the people in the camp who were busy coming and going, and she really couldn't understand what they were busy with. Don't they know that even if they arrive in Qingzhou, everyone's situation will not change much.

"Yaoyao, what are you thinking?" A sad look on the willow cat asked.

"I didn't think about anything, but what are you worried about?" Mu Yao looked at Liu Wu's sad face and asked with some worry.

"Let's go! Yaoyao, let's go out and talk! Liu Wu looked at the busy people around him and whispered.

The mother and daughter took advantage of everyone's lack of attention and came to the uninhabited river.

"Yaoyao, it's been two months since we left Mujia Village. If I'm not mistaken, the flood is coming soon, but everyone is still unprepared, and I'm a little worried. Liu Wu whispered.

"yes, how did I forget about this stubble." After hearing this, Mu Yao couldn't help but feel worried.

"Mother, it's useless for us to worry here, it's better to find a chance to discuss it with Dad." Mu Yao couldn't help it when she thought about it, so she thought that Mu Chenghu might have a way.

"That's right, maybe your dad will have a way." Liu Fu nodded in agreement.

Just when the mother and daughter were about to go back, the two found Mu Chenghu in the distance looking for them, and the two stopped instantly.

"It's time to eat, why are you two running here?" Mu Chenghu walked over and asked with some curiosity.

"It's okay, we're just waiting for you right here." Catkins replied.

"Wait for me, has something happened?" Hearing Mu Chenghu's question, Liu Fu and Mu Yao asked him if there was any way to deal with the next flood.

After hearing this, Mu Chenghu immediately felt a headache again. When I thought that in my previous life, my group died in the mudslide caused by the flood, and that I had been busy running away since I was reborn, and I ignored such an important matter. For a while, Mu Chenghu couldn't think of a good way to deal with it.

Seeing that Mu Chenghu was silent for a long time, the mother and daughter knew that Mu Chenghu had no choice.

"Dad, mother, let's go back to eat first, there will always be a way. Looking at her worried parents, Mu Yao said with relief.

"Asu, Yaoyao is right, there will be a way." When Mu Chenghu said this, he quietly added in his heart, there are always more ways than difficulties.

"Ahh

As the three of them walked, they suddenly heard a scream. The three of them quickly ran in the direction of the sound.

"Knife, are you alright?" Mu Chenghu ran over and recognized at a glance that the person who fell was Mu Xiaodao, the son of Widow Xiao.

"Grandpa the village chief, I'm fine, I just accidentally got trampled by a black stone." Mu Xiaodao whispered.

Mu Yao was a little curious, and the black stone in Mu Xiaodao's mouth said to him: "Xiaodao, you show your aunt which stone stumbled you." ”

"Aunt Yao, look at that stone." Mu Xiaodao pointed to the black stone not far away and said.

Mu Chenghu and the three of them looked at Mu Xiaodao's fingers.

"Asu, I'm not mistaken!" Mu Chenghu and the three of them walked to the stone in disbelief and looked at it again.

"yes, this thing is what you think." Liu Wu said excitedly.

"Dad, let's quickly find out if there's anything else around here." Mu Yao said as she looked around.

When Mu Chenghu and his wife heard Mu Yao's words, they began to conduct a carpet search nearby.

Mu Xiaodao saw that Mu Chenghu and the three didn't know what to look for, so he asked curiously, "Village chief, grandpa, what are you looking for?" ”

"Oh! We're looking for the kind of black stone that stumbles you. Knife, you go back to play with Chubby and them first! Mu Chenghu said a little absent-mindedly.

"Grandpa the village chief, I know where there is that kind of black stone, I'll take you to find it." Mu Xiaodao's eyes lit up when he heard that Mu Chenghu was in the black stone.

Hearing Mu Xiaodao's words, Mu Chenghu and the three of them raised their heads and looked at him at the same time.

"This is it, there's a lot of that black stone here." Mu Xiaodao took Mu Chenghu and the three to the riverbank.

When Mu Chenghu and Mu Xiaodao came to the riverbank, Mu Chenghu saw a large pile of coal exposed to the ground under the impact of the river. Mu Chenghu happily picked up Mu Xiaodao and raised it: "Little knife!" You're a lucky little star. ”

"Grandpa the village chief, you are so nice." Mu Xiaodao said with red eyes.

"Knife, what's wrong with you." Liu Fu asked, looking at the red-eyed knife.

"Grandma Liu, it's nothing." Mu Xiaodao smiled and said.

"You're weird, kid." Liu Wu looked at Mu Xiaodao, who was laughing, and said.

"Yaoyao, you go back with a knife and call a few people to bring the guys over." Mu Chenghu looked at the sky and said.

After Mu Yao took Mu Xiaodao away, Mu Chenghu said to Liu Wu: "Xiaodao, after the child was born, his father, grandfather, and grandmother all passed away one after another within a year. The people in the village didn't say anything in front of him, but behind their backs they were telling their children to stay away from him, and the child probably felt something after a long time. So there is some inferiority complex and sensitivity. ”

After listening to Mu Chenghu's words, Liu Wu thought to himself, no wonder the child's emotions changed so quickly just now. Liu Wu couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he thought of this.

As soon as Mu Yao returned to the camp, she heard Han Shi say, "Yaoyao, why did you come back, your father!" It's going to be eaten, where are you going? ”

"Grandma, my father, they found something on the riverbank, and asked me to come back and ask a few people to come over and pick it up." Mu Yao returned to the Dao.

"Yaoyao, let's go with you." As soon as Mu Yao's words landed, several uncles and uncles around him said.

Mu Yao took a few people to the bank of the river, although they were a little curious about Mu Chenghu asking everyone to bring a lot of black stones back, but out of trust in Mu Chenghu, no one asked anything.

After dinner, Mu Chenghu said to everyone, "Tomorrow, we won't leave in the morning and set off in the afternoon." ”

After listening to Mu Chenghu's words, the villagers felt puzzled. After all, seeing that you are about to arrive in Qingzhou, you should hurry up, so why stop for a morning? But everyone felt that Mu Chenghu had his own considerations, so no one asked anything.

Mu Chenghu was very happy to see that everyone agreed without asking anything, but he still opened his mouth to explain, "This afternoon, I found some coal by the river, which is better than charcoal." I mean, everyone has eaten a lot of food along the way, and didn't a few cars come out empty? Tomorrow we'll load these trucks with coal and go. ”

"Village Chief, you're talking about the kind of black stone we picked up this afternoon. That thing is really better than charcoal. One of the people who went to pick coal in the afternoon asked.

"Mu Lin, Mu Qing, you two go and get some coal." Mu Chenghu did not answer, but turned to Mu Lin and said to Mu Qing.

After a while, Mu Lin and Mu Qing picked up some coal. Mu Chenghu asked the two of them to take out a few charcoals from the fire and put them aside, and then put a thin layer of coal on top of the charcoal.

Mu Chenghu looked at Mu Lin, and after Mu Qing finished his work, he said to everyone, "Wait and see." ”

As a result, everyone sat by the fire for two hours and found that the coal in the fire was still burning brightly. Such a thin layer of coal burned for two hours without being burned, and everyone thought it was a little incredible.

"Village chief, this coal is really better than charcoal, not only is it resistant to burning, but it is also troublesome." Mu Chengwen said happily.

Everyone nodded when they heard Mu Chengwen's words.

Early the next morning, Mu Chenghu took the big guy to the shore and quickly loaded several trucks of coal.

Mu Chengru looked at the remaining coal and said with a regretful face, "If this thing can be taken out, it should be able to buy a lot of money." ”

As soon as everyone heard Mu Chengru's words, they thought of a way to free up a few boxes to load coal, Mu Chenghu looked at everyone's move and thought that it would be okay to load more, anyway, even if all the coal was not enough, but he didn't tell everyone that there was still coal underground, after all, people's hearts were insufficient.

Mu Chenghu and his entourage loaded the coal, and after lunch, they walked towards the green mountains in the distance full of hope.
