After more than half a month of continuous travel, Mu Chenghu and his party finally walked out of the jurisdiction of Lingyang City, and everyone's hearts were a little lighter. After dinner in the evening, Mu Chenghu gathered everyone to discuss the future itinerary plan.

"I'm glad that all of us escaped from Lingyang City safely and are out of danger for the time being, but everyone also knows that once Chen Guojun continues to attack south, everyone's situation will be even more dangerous. Now we can all get through this catastrophe together if we are more united. Mu Chenghu said straight to the point.

"Cheng Hu is right, only by uniting together can we get through this crisis safely." Mu Qingshan said happily.

"I think everyone may have to eat a pot of rice in the end, so it is better to eat together from now on, which is not only conducive to the planning of food in the village, but also conducive to unity." The sixth uncle, who had a low sense of presence among the elders in the village, said suddenly.

"Sixth uncle, don't just think about taking advantage, how much food does your family have, and how much food does our family have, I don't care if others are together or not, anyway, my family just won't do it." As soon as Mu Qingyuan's words were finished, Mu Chengcai, the thorn in the village, hurriedly said.

Hearing Mu Chengcai's words, Mu Qingyuan was so angry that he couldn't do it, and many people in the village felt that Mu Chengcai was not rough.

"Mu Chengcai, don't you hurry up and apologize to your sixth uncle, you don't want to think about how many people in your family, how many people in your sixth uncle's family, who takes advantage of whom!" Mu Qingliu, who has always been easy-going, also said a little angrily.

"Third brother, sixth brother, don't be angry with this group of young people who don't know what to do, they are the first time to experience this kind of thing, and they don't know what it has to do with it. If they don't make any plans at this time, they don't know how to survive after a while, and they don't know how to survive without food. Mu Qingshan gave a rare comfort to his two brothers.

Mu Chengcai knew that he was wrong after listening to Mu Qingliu's words, and when he saw that the sixth uncle's face was white because of his anger, he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to Mu Qingyuan.

"Okay, I can really be angry with you, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you will be like those passers-by we met at that time." After Mu Qingyuan finished speaking, he shook his head, sat aside, stared into the distance, and stopped talking.

"Alas! Don't you know that your sixth uncle is doing this entirely for your own good, and you have watched him take care of the affairs of the village for so many years? No, your sixth uncle is the sequelae of that escape. When they first fled, they had enough food, and nothing terrible happened. However, when the grain was eaten and the bark of the weeds and trees was gnawed, those who had lost their conscience went from robbing and killing passers-by at the beginning to eating them in the end. Once your sixth uncle was quietly intercepted by those people when he went to the back of the camp to relieve him, if it wasn't for the people from our village who arrived in time, the consequences would be unimaginable. Your sixth uncle has since become what you see today. Mu Qingliu was a little afraid that his group of people would eventually become like those people back then, so he told everyone about the events of that year.

After listening to Mu Qingliu's words, Mu Chenghu thought that the older generation of Mujia Village had never mentioned this past, perhaps because of this, the elders of Mujia Village were reluctant to advance this past. And everyone in Mujia Village couldn't believe and was scared after hearing this past.

After a long time, Mu Chenghu spoke: "I think there are still many benefits to eating together, for example, we can save firewood and free up manpower to do some other things to prepare for the rest of the journey." If you don't have any opinions, let's have a pot of rice from tomorrow! ”

Dakai is because Mu Qingliu's words have worked on everyone, and everyone agrees with Mu Chenghu's decision.

As soon as Mu Chenghu's words were finished, Mu Chengzhu took the lead and said, "That's right, when the time comes, our brothers can go up to the mountains to hunt or dig some small traps near the camp, etc., maybe we can even open meat for everyone." ”

"This is what I want to say next, there are so many people in our village, and they know different things, everyone must give full play to their own advantages, division of labor and cooperation, I believe we will all be able to survive." Mu Chenghu took Mu Chengzhu's words and said.

"Village chief, what can a person like me who can only grow crops do!" It was the village widow Xiao who spoke. After all, there were only her and her seven-year-old son in their family, so when they heard Mu Chenghu's words, they hurriedly asked for fear of dragging everyone back and being left behind.

Mu Chenghu said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, you can cook, wash dishes, and pick wild vegetables, after all, it takes more than a dozen people to cook." ”

"That's fine, my cooking is delicious." Widow Xiao said happily.

"Village chief, I'll burn some carbon, it's not very good, or I'll burn some tomorrow for everyone to see. If I can, I will tell you about the charcoal burning skills, and after camping, we can build a smaller kiln to burn charcoal, and the night watchmen will take care of it from time to time, and wait until the next morning to go out of the kiln and take it away. Mu Chengwen in the village said.

"Chengwen, that's great. Although the weather is hot now, you don't need to burn a fire at night, and you don't feel cold, but I'm afraid that after a while, the weather will be cold, and everyone can't stand it, or if you encounter that kind of firewood, it's hard to find or firewood is wet, and it's difficult to get it. If you have carbon, you won't be afraid. Mu Chenghu said in surprise.

"Chenghu, my old bones are not good, so when I arrive at the camp in the future, I will take Qiu Cheng to find out what herbs are near the camp and pick some for spare." As the only barefoot doctor in Mujia Village, Mu Qingliu said without hesitation.

"Yes, you can, but Uncle San, don't go to those dangerous places when you're old, so I'll let Mu Qing go with you." Mu Chenghu thought that Mu Qingliu was old, and it was easy to be dangerous to collect medicine, so he asked his nephew to follow, and many people took care of everything.

"It's up to you! That's all I can do. Mu Qingliu said with some loss.

"Become a tiger! You leave the cooking to us old women, we can't do anything else anyway, let them go young to pick wild vegetables, collect firewood or make some shoes, and I see that the big guys' shoes are starting to rot. ”

Han volunteered to say to Mu Chenghu.

"Mother, can you do it? It's not a matter of a day or two. Mu Chenghu looked at a group of old ladies led by his own wife and asked.

"Don't you look down on people? We old ladies aren't as weak as you think. Han said a little angrily.

"That's okay, Xiao will cook with you!" Mu Chenghu said.

Although Mu Chenghu agreed, he made up his mind in his heart to find a group of people to replace them in a few days.

Mu Chenghu finished arranging the basic work and was about to let everyone go back to the tent to rest, when he heard Mu Qingliu say: "Chenghu, it's getting hotter and hotter this day, and everyone is braving the sun to hurry, which is particularly prone to heat stroke." When I came here just now, I saw some mint over there, and tomorrow you can arrange for a few little girls to pick it and dry it for later use. ”

Mu Chenghu was also very surprised to hear that there was mint in this place, and then arranged for Mu Yao, Mu Meixin, and Mu Xiaoyu to go mint picking the next day.
