Chapter 172: They are temporarily resting
Unexpectedly, after they crossed a river, they found a large group of suspicious strangers not far ahead.
At this moment, the Wu family standing on the mountainside, after seeing this group of people, they were all stunned on the spot.
"Dad, what's the matter with those people?"
"They look even worse than the Duan family......
There are about 10,000 people in front.
All of them were wearing black clothes and pants. They were ragged and walked with a stick.
Seeing these people, the Duan family, who was just following them, sighed heavily at this time, "I didn't expect us to meet them here......"
Hearing Duan Yude sighing there, Wu Dahu suddenly turned around and asked him, "This brother, are you familiar with those people at the foot of the mountain?" ”
Duan Yude listened and shook his head vigorously, "It's not very familiar." However, I am quite impressed by the faces of some people. ”
"Most of those people are from the same county as us. Our county is called Qianhe County. As the name suggests, this Qianhe County means that we have thousands of small rivers there. Our Qianhe County is located in a low-lying area, with many plains and fertile soil, which is a high-yield area for wheat. There were 300,000 people living there. However, some time ago, an unprecedented drought caused all the rivers in Qianhe County to be drought, and the wheat was not harvested. We tried a lot to dig wells and water, but to no avail. In less than half a month, the black and fertile apprentice turned into a desert. When I think about it now, I feel a great pain in my heart......"
"It's not easy to live away from home......"
Seeing Duan Yude such a big man, his eyes were red with emotion as he spoke, and he almost cried, Wu Dahu thought about it, then stretched out his hand and patted him heavily on the shoulder.
"Brother, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, don't think too much."
"Anyway, we're coming out, and we're all here. Where there is life, there is hope. As long as we have a life, relying on ourselves, we will still be able to live our lives in the future......"
After reluctantly comforting him a few words, Wu Dahu found his father.
"Dad~, those people in front of me are from the same place as the Duan family. I've already inquired just now, and they are all from Qianhe County in the Northland. ”
Hearing the words Qianhe County, Wu Hongsheng's eyebrows moved.
It's from that place......
His family migrated from that place more than forty years ago.
Now, seeing with his own eyes that these people living in Qianhe County have begun to stay away from their homeland, Wu Hongsheng subconsciously feels that that place is actually not a good place.
Wu Hongsheng thought for a while, then raised his hand and called his family to stop.
"Stop! The situation is different in the front, so let's take a break here. When we are full, drunk, and energetic, let's go on our way again! ”
Hearing this, the Duan family subconsciously took a look at the Duan Wenyan article on their side.
And the two brothers of Duan Wenyan and Duan Wenwen looked at their nephew Duan Qingge and said, "Qingge, what do you think we should do now?" ”
Duan Qingge listened and groaned.
Then, he said slowly, "Uncle and third uncle, my nephew thinks that we should also take a rest." Otherwise, if we encounter any unexpected situation later, we will not have the energy to deal with it at all. ”
Hearing him say this, Duan Wenyan, who was still very afraid of death, nodded and agreed.
"Okay! We'll all listen to you. ”
"Let's all sit down and rest!"
After saying this, Duan Wenyan, who was on crutches, slowly sat on the ground under the careful support of his eldest son, leaning against a big tree.
"Dad, you can rest here for a while. I'll pick wild vegetables for you! ”
After saying this, Duan Yude began to call his daughter-in-law and several sons. Tell them to come over and serve his father well.
After giving the order, he called several of his younger brothers, and under the leadership of Duan Qingge, he followed the seven or eight men of the Wu family closely.
As for the remaining part of the Wu family, they are mainly young adults.
Especially Wu Hongsheng, he was holding a machete at this moment, leaning against a big tree, and stayed there quietly. Motionless.
At this time, Wu Guifang was also sitting on a donkey.
As for the mule beside the old donkey, he was also very obedient and sensible.
When the she-donkey came there, he followed her.
What's more, Wu Guifang sometimes gave them a chopstick or two of honey to eat in order to reward them.
The little male mule, he especially likes to eat this.
Moreover, it is very young, and it likes to be coquettish.
As soon as Wu Guifang sat on the ground, the mule circled around her. Always arch her with her own head.
Wu Guifang knew in her heart that every time the little mule arched her, she was actually asking for food.
In order to avoid the harassment of the mule, Wu Guifang did not get off the back of the old donkey now.
Wu Guifang sat there, carefully eating the fried fried dumplings on both sides.
This thing is what she used to do.
Not much to do.
She quietly did more than 500 of them.
The fillings inside are very realistic. It is the meat of the wild boar that Wu Hong captured some time ago.
The wild boars on this mountain eat all the original food. The meat is very chewy and very tender.
After the wild boar was mixed with some duck eggs, a little chili, ginger and garlic, and chives and cooking wine, among other seasonings, she made the dumplings.
Wu Guifang quietly ate 20, and her mouth was full of oil. After eating and drinking, she quietly stuffed 20 for Wu Hongsheng.
When he finished eating, Wu Guifang gave it to him again and handed him two big steamed buns to eat.
Wu Hongsheng looked around vigilantly while eating.
He has big hands and feet, and when he eats anything, he puts those things in the palm of his hand.
Therefore, others only saw that his mouth was chewing, but they did not know what he was holding in his hands......
After letting Wu Hongsheng eat and drink enough, Wu Guifang stuffed some wild vegetables into the old donkey under him.
There are still a lot of wild vegetables on this mountain.
Although the season is really hot.
And this place has not rained for a long time.
However, it's still close to the lake. The vegetation here is quite dense.
The higher the vegetation cover, the higher the moisture content of the air.
Therefore, it is more comfortable to stay in a mountain with a higher altitude and dense vegetation than to stay in a plain area with less vegetation......
