Chapter 148
Looking at the scene outside the wooden basin, Liu Ruyi wiped her tears and said, "I don't know what happened to the master?" ”
Liu Jixiang said comfortingly: "You don't have to be afraid, the terrain of the county is much higher than ours here, if there is really a flood, they will definitely be able to deal with it in time!" ”
Liu Ruyi whispered a sob, "Sister is really terrible, I don't know how many people will drown in such a big flood, and our small workshop, our home, there is no ......"
Yes, the most pity is the small workshop, this is just starting, there is nothing left, especially the small workshop is made of soil, this flood rush, most of them will collapse, even if it does not collapse, the house soaked by the flood, there will be a lot of soil left in the house, if it is not dealt with properly, I am afraid it will cause an epidemic.
Not only did it float for a long time, but the wooden basin landed on the shore, Liu Jixiang first asked Liu Ruyi to stay in a safe place, saying that he wanted to put the wooden basin in a safer place, but in fact, it was put into his own space.
After doing all this, the two siblings wore rain gear, carried dry food and water behind them, and held an iron pot in their hands, and began to walk north.
Yes, there is a big flood in the south, and now they can only go to the north, and there is an imperial city in the north, which is definitely better than their side.
But she didn't expect that after walking not far away, they met a group of people, who also fled with them, their bodies were full of rain, and when they saw their two sisters and brothers, their eyes shone brightly.
"Two little brothers!" A man ran over don't blame him, why call him little brother, because Liu Jixiang put on Liu Ruyi's clothes, and then combed a man's hair bun again, and smeared some plaster water on his face, which looked messy, like a boy.
Isn't it easy for you to ask her why she is dressing as a man? You look at the current scene, although the disaster has just happened, but there is no guarantee that there will be some evil people who will attack the two of them, if they dress up as men, others will at least be afraid of it, and the survival rate of the two boys is also relatively large.
"Just say something!" Liu Jixiang lowered his voice.
"I just want to ask the two little brothers where they are going, we are going to Tongcheng, if we go on the same road, we can be a companion together, at least it can be safer!" The man said enthusiastically.
"Tongcheng is also in the south, we are flooded here, not to mention other places, we are going to the north, so let's not stop by!" Liu Jixiang refused, and even if they stopped by the way, Liu Jixiang would not go with them, after all, he had too many secrets.
A hint of loss flashed on the man's face, "I see, I'm sorry, it's really annoying!" ”
The man sighed, turned around and returned to the original place, facing an old lady and a woman who didn't know what to say, and glanced at Liu Jixiang from time to time.
"Young man, I'm afraid there are a lot of things you don't know when you're young, our side is far from the north, if you really go over, I don't know if you want to go to the year of the monkey, it's better to go to the south with us, although our side has been affected, but other places won't, that Tongcheng is relatively high, and it will definitely not be affected!" The old lady said at the top of her voice.
Of course, Liu Jixiang knew that they only wanted one more person and one more guarantee, she shook her head, "Lady, too, although I am young, there is one thing I know, such as what your old man knows, others will definitely know, and Tongcheng is close to us, if everyone goes to Tongcheng, what kind of things do you think you will suffer?" I went to the north, although the north is a little farther away, but there are definitely fewer people to go, and there must be more chances of survival! ”
When the old lady heard this, she frowned tightly, looked at her son, and then at her daughter-in-law, and was a little undecided.
"Young man, I don't think you're an ordinary person, so I'll ask you, do you think it's better for our family to go to Tongcheng or to the north?" The old lady asked, a little undecided.
Liu Jixiang shook his head, "I can't say for sure, old lady, there must be more people going to Tongcheng, if you go, you can enter the city or not, but if you go to the north, you old and young, this road is far away, and you may not be able to go there......"
The old lady sighed deeply, "Young man, you're right, we're old and young, we really can't help it, but staying here is a dead end, forget it, now we can only take one step at a time, we are ready to go north, at least go north and earn a way to live, but if you go to the south as you said, so many people, we, old and young, have to be survived by others!" ”
Since the old lady is going north, they have enough of a group, especially if they don't want to deal with them, but they are embarrassed to drive others away.
On the rest of the way, apart from the two families, they rarely met anyone else, but they encountered another problem, that is, the further north they went, the more arid the land became.
"This ......" Rao is an old lady who has lived so long, and she has never seen this scene, "it is raining so heavily over here, why is the drought in the north like this?" ”
Liu Jixiang was a little lucky, because she stored a lot of boiled water in her own space, and the main reason for storing so much water before was that she was afraid that the water after the epidemic would have bacteria and would not be able to drink, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.
"Eldest niece, I just saw that there is still some water in it, even if I am an old woman, please beg you, can you give us some? We don't want you for nothing, we'll give you money......" The old lady couldn't stand it, but she could bear it, but her eldest grandson couldn't stand it, crying over there.
Liu Jixiang was also embarrassed to ask others for money for a sip or two of water, and nodded to give them half of her water, but she made up her mind to part ways with them at night.
The next morning, when the old lady woke up, she looked at the crockpot full of water, and then looked at the two brothers who had disappeared, and sighed, "Those two young men are also good people, although they left us, at least they left us with water!" ”
The daughter-in-law sobbed quietly, "I thought that with two men to take care of us, we could be safer, but I didn't expect people to leave without saying a word, so what should we do?" ”
"Okay, what if people leave, they don't owe me, and they have nothing to do with our family, just leave, and they are not ruthless, at least they didn't take the opportunity to take our things, and they left us so much water, they are good people......" The old lady sighed and said, "Don't say it, let's hurry up!" ”
