Chapter 89: Surprise Village

After another month of walking, the horse has been sold.

Bought food to supplement everyone's food.

The price of grain has risen sharply, and after selling two horses, they only bought a hundred catties of millet.

Dozens of people rely on these millets and don't know if they can go to Xiangyang.

There are already more and more refugees on the way.

There were people fleeing everywhere.

They have gone numb.

There is simply no time to sympathize with others.

Because even if the food is saved (and Wang Xiaoqing secretly subsidizes it from time to time), it is still consumed very quickly.

If you go any further, you will run out of food again.

Food prices have risen to sky-high prices.

More and more people are dying of starvation on the road.

There are also more and more people robbing the road on the road.

Now it's the jungle.

…………

Wang Xiaoqing looked at his feet.

The soles of the feet were full of blood blisters.

It's all broken.

She's still picking on drugs.

The journey had just begun, but they were all exhausted.

The place to rest tonight is a mountainside, and I haven't found a cave that can accommodate so many people.

Everyone had no choice but to settle.

A fire was lit.

Mrs. Wang checked the things, and the food was gone.

It was gone down the mountain just now, and she remembered the way the refugees looked at them, and everyone was carrying suffocating baggage, so that they could be safe.

They divided the grain into small portions and hid them in the belts of their trousers.

Now the old lady can't arrange food, there is no more.

Otherwise, how could they have come to this safe place along the way!

When I encountered a robbery, I saw the empty baggage skin, and the men who were eyeing him, although they were thin, they were also men.

Generally don't dare to come up and provoke.

Mrs. Wang walked over and asked her granddaughter in a low voice.

"Xiaoqing, where's the grain?"

Now rely on Xiaoqing to get it out little by little every day.

I don't dare to take more, and I can't explain it clearly.

Wang Xiaoqing has tried her best to subsidize several children in the family.

Mrs. Wang is also under the subsidy of her granddaughter, otherwise where would she have survived until now.

Take a look at Wang Xiaoqing's backpack.

Fortunately, this package is big, otherwise it would not be justified.

Wang Xiaoqing remembered fiercely.

Grandma's.

She could only take out a little bit at a time.

Reach in and rub it in your bag, then pull it out with a pocket.

Everyone else has their ears pricked up.

If you don't have food to cook, you'll all be hungry.

Dozens of pairs of eyes widened.

Wang Xiaoqing can't do tricks.

Take out half a bag of tribulus terrestris ground powder.

"! Here, I just felt that something was not right, so I put the food in my bag in the hands of a few of them, but I didn't expect it to be really wrong. Otherwise, we would all be hungry by now. ”

The big guy breathed a sigh of relief.

I began to look at the half-pocket rations, and I sighed in my heart.

It's only been a few hundred miles.

If you want to go to Xiangyang, it will take at least a few months.

How can this food be delivered?

It's all one by one.

I'm scared to death.

The weeds on the side of the road were gone.

Even things like Kannon soil people began to eat them.

Not to mention these things.

Wang Xiaoqing was also worried.

She has a lot of this food! But there is no excuse to take it out.

Headache.

But she knew that this secret must not be exposed.

Otherwise, you are waiting to die.

The old lady scooped the bowl and pulled it to flatten the flour in the bowl.

The end is gone.

Everyone still thinks that tribulus terrestris powder is quite delicious, in fact, if they have tasted other people's tribulus powder, they will understand that their taste is several grades worse than other people's.

It's not the same thing at all.

There are bean noodles and noodles mixed in by Wang Xiaoqing.

"Alright, don't look at it! Old man, I'm cooking a mush, you take a few children, look around, maybe you can see others pulling down wild vegetables, we don't have much food, everyone has to subsidize it! Otherwise, we won't be able to go to Xiangyang! ”

The old lady can't help it.

Feng Guizhi took a few girls, as well as a few aunts of the Han family, and looked around together.

In fact, I know it in my heart! I don't think that's very likely.

A month later.

Wang Xiaoqing held the paste that could show the figure of the person.

The bottom of the bowl.

All the clear ones are in the shadows.

Now they had crossed two mountains, and they were still walking on the path, but the road was not completely empty.

And two months ago up.

Now they are no different from refugees.

Because the food is so bad.

Old lady in order to save rations.

Now I only scoop half a bowl of whole grains.

That's it! Everyone also knows that it won't last long.

How did they know that the old lady also smuggled a lot of food subsidies into it without permission.

The problem is that there are too many people.

Look at them again, if those victims saw them now, they would definitely not feel that they were worth being robbed.

All of them have yellow and thin muscles, their steps are floating, their legs are swollen, and their faces are already black and thin from the wind and sun.

The clothes are also getting hotter because of the weather.

I changed it into a jacket.

More and more visible skinny.

There is no supplement of gluttony and meat.

Coupled with long hours of tiring walking.

They have also become as unchéng Rén as the victims.

Hungry and listless.

He also looks wilted when he walks.

It is obviously the initial stage of the late spring and summer solstice, but the weather is very hot.

The land is desolate.

Originally, when they were in the mountains, they could still pick some young leaves, freshly sprouted wild vegetables and other things to satisfy their hunger.

But since this month.

The treatment is not as good as day by day.

Not to mention the scarcity of water, the wild vegetables and grasses on the ground, even the trees on the roadside, not to mention the leaves, even the bark is gone.

It's just scraping.

I can't find a few at the grassroots.

Needless to say, it was dug into the ground by hungry people passing by.

Wave after wave swept through it like locusts in transit.

There was nothing on the ground to satisfy hunger.

Now the big guy is no different from the victims around him.

Even worse.

Accustomed to the days of big fish and big meat, they suddenly fell into such a situation.

It's more uncomfortable than others.

Especially the kids.

All of them seem to have big heads and small bodies.

Wang Xiaoqing looked at the few sisters who only had a base of clear soup in their bowls, and gave each of them a little bit of the soup he left.

Now she didn't dare to just come out of that thing.

Dead bite to the standard of three days to give a small loaf of bread.

She was afraid that she would hurt these children by being soft-hearted.

She has something to eat.

But now is a disaster year, and they are disaster victims.

If they are ruddy and full of energy, it is not to tell others that they have problems and have food in stock.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoqing was also ruthless and did not dare to go too far.

Now not only Mrs. Wang is anxious, but Wang Xiaoqing is also anxious.

Obviously with a huge amount of money (our warehouse has everything), but I have to go hungry.

With the severity of the disaster on the road, they are also at a loss.

It's been more than two months, and I don't know how long I have to go.

But they will run out of food.

Wang Xiaoqing hung his head.

He fanned his head with his hands.

It's hot.

When it was getting late, they saw a village.

Because they have strayed the main road.

In fact, if the direction is always right, it is open.

It is estimated that even people like Han Dazhi who go south and north will get lost.

There was no map or navigation.

When you go out, you rely on a sense of direction and people you know.

Otherwise, it's a matter of minutes to get lost.

So they mistakenly broke into someone's one-third of an acre of land.

I saw the white smoke curling from a distance, and at this hour, someone must be cooking.

Everyone was happy in their hearts.

But after the joy is the gloom.

Don't look at people, but it doesn't mean that people are willing to help them.

They have so many people, so many mouths.

put it on them, and probably didn't want to reach out.

Once you show your wealth, you don't have to worry about them getting rich.

Of course, food is money now.

But the village looks like a big village.

Don't look hidden in the mountains and forests, but when you get closer, you realize that there are hundreds of families under the cover of the mountains and forests.

Moreover, the structure of people's houses is different from that in their village.

It's weird.

With Wang Xiaoqing's eyes, he immediately recognized that this should be a kind of circular walled building.

The mountains and forests are hidden and you can't see the true face at all.

But as long as you get closer, you can see that it is like a flying saucer falling from the sky, and the mushrooms emerging from the ground are really magical.

This kind of ring-shaped tulou is also called "village".

The circular layout and tall and magnificent momentum were considered to be a residential wonder in Wang Xiaoqing's time.

The internal structure of the circular tulou has two kinds of corridor type and unit type, and the diameter of the tulou ranges from tens of meters to hundreds of meters, which can live in hundreds of families, and even children and grandchildren live here.

Importantly, such tulou is very suitable for defending against enemies and protecting the clansmen.

In order to prevent the robbery of the natives and bandits and the attack of wild beasts, the earthen buildings they built were well guarded and very safe.

It looks like this village is supposed to be the village of a large family.
