The sun rises in the morning, and it's a new day.

Xiao Qi followed Liu Dahe out of the broken temple, and the sun shining on his body was very beautiful.

Liu Dahe, Xiao Qi and Mrs. Wang's mother and son walked in front, and all the people who spent the night in the temple spontaneously followed behind a few people.

The king butcher got a piece of bread given to him by Liu Dahe last night, and on the way he met a man who was about to starve to death and kindly sent half a piece of bread out.

It felt good to help others, and Wang Tuhu thought that he had received the favor of a noble person anyway.

But after the half cake was sent out, the king butcher was still very painful, this was half a cake in the disaster year, and it was more valuable than the usual half of the meat.

Xiao Qiyi and his entourage went all the way forward, and people kept joining on the road, and when they arrived at the place where they connected with the old man Hua, there were already more than 100 people behind them.

Liu Dahe told Niu the news of Yu's death, and Niu cried so much that he couldn't help himself.

Time could not be delayed, Xiao Qi helped Niu's and Ah Fu to continue to move forward with Laifu.

Old Man Hua walked with Liu Dahe, and when he saw that Liu Dahe brought a lot of people, he had some doubts in his heart, so he asked, "Dahe, what's going on with these people?" ”

Liu Dahe reluctantly told Old Man Hua about the origin of more than 100 people, "At the beginning, Xiao Qi saved more than 20 people in the broken temple. ”

"Later, these people followed on the road, and the road was not ours, so we couldn't help but let people follow."

Old Man Hua looked at Liu Dahe, "What are you going to do next?" ”

Liu Dahe took out a small cloth bag and showed it to the old man Hua, "There is a small bag of rice here, everyone is not very demanding, just boil a big pot of water and put a little bit of rice, it was like this in the broken temple last night, everyone drank rice soup very happily." ”

The old man Hua was a little melancholy, just now he heard Xiao Qi say that he was happy to fill the water of the two gourds, but now it seems that the water of the two gourds is too little, more than a hundred people, how can the water of the two gourds be used?

Xiao Qi's party continued to move forward, not eating all day, but no one complained.

Soon the two big gourd water filled by Xiaoqi was almost divided, Ah Fu hugged Laifu, used up the last bit of water in Xiaoqi's gourd, and soaked the dry cakes in the water to feed Laifu.

At night, everyone stopped in an abandoned tea house to rest, Xiao Qi looked at everyone's chapped lips, and she understood that water shortage had become the biggest problem at present.

So Xiao Qi went out to look around, but unfortunately he was unlucky and didn't find water

At night, when everyone was asleep, it suddenly rained heavily, and it rained so hard that the raindrops were falling and many people were woken up.

Everyone was very happy to be woken up, they hadn't seen rain in many days, and all of them had chapped lips these days.

Together, everyone put all the containers that could hold water outside to receive water.

Many people rush into the rain and drink the rain with their mouths wide open, which is really happy.

It rained overnight, and the next morning the sky cleared, and the bowls, pots, and pots placed outside the house were full of rainwater.

Liu Dahe was arrogant, and commanded several young people to boil a few large pots of water, put a small handful of rice in it, and each person drank a bowl, and everyone looked very satisfied.

Although this porridge can't be called porridge at all, after drinking it, you will never starve to death again with warm soup in your stomach.

Liu Dahe estimated that this small bag of rice could cook rice soup for more than ten days.

Niu looked at the people who were drinking rice soup in a hurry, and sighed at Liu Dahe: "It's not a way to go on like this, the rice in your small cloth bag is estimated to not last a few days."

Liu Dahe had helplessness on his face, "You can't watch everyone starve to death with food, let's deal with it with rice soup first, and let's take one step at a time." “

Niu really doesn't know what to say to Liu Dahe, where is the rice soup you are cooking, it is obviously boiling water, and the rice grains in it can be counted at a glance.

A few days ago, there were people everywhere who were robbing other people's things, but the more than 100 people who followed behind Liu Dahe looked quite calm, and there was no situation of grabbing things, and many people rushed to boil water to work.

After drinking the rice soup, more than 100 people went on the road together, it was very spectacular, and many people on the road heard that there was rice soup to drink with the large army to join in, and the team grew stronger and stronger.

Liu Dahe saw that there were more and more people, and he had a headache even more.

Two days later, someone in the team got a wind chill, which quickly infected many people, and even Hua Xi'er and Ah Fu also fell ill.

With sick people, the march became slow.

The cold was so fierce that the next morning an old lady in her sixties fell ill and died.

The news spread one by one, and the people were panicked, and soon the whole team was in chaos.

Sickness and panic made everyone very vulnerable, and many people who were not sick left the team for fear of being infected.

Because Ah Fu was also sick, Xiao Qi had to take care of his brother, so he walked at the back of the team.

Wang Tuhu and another man rushed over together, "Seventh girl, it's not good, someone in front has been killed." ”

It turned out that at the front of the line, several strong men snatched a woman's belongings when they left, and beat the woman to death.

Xiao Qi listened to the words of the king butcher and immediately rushed away.

By the time she reached the front of the line, the strong man who had killed the woman had already run away.

Xiao Qi and the Wang Butcher buried the woman together.

Mrs. Wang met her two guards at this critical time, and she didn't have time to say goodbye to Xiao Qi, so she went to Pengzhou City first.

In the end, there were only about 30 people left in the team, and the people who stayed behind were basically people who had family members who were sick and reluctant to leave.

Old Man Hua and Liu Dahe were sad because of this sudden change, and they asked everyone who was traveling with them, and finally found an old man in his sixties.

This old man is said to have been a barefoot doctor before, and a barefoot doctor is a barefoot doctor, so he understands something about it.

The barefoot doctor suggested isolating the sick from the healthy, and also provided a prescription for the cold, but he could not write, so the barefoot doctor dictated and the old man wrote down the prescription.

But there is no medicine is also helpless, they are now in the position of the village and the store, if you want to buy medicine, it is best to go to Pengzhou City.

Now is a troubled time, medicine is not so easy to buy, many people hug each other and cry bitterly, anyway, sooner or later starve to death, it is better to accompany the sick family members more, and it is better to die in one place.

Old Man Hua and Liu Dahe took everyone to temporarily settle down in a dilapidated house next to the official road, there are two houses in total, which may have been used to open a tea house in the past, and there is a partition wall in the middle.

This is the official road, and when the world is peaceful, pedestrians can drink some water, eat something, and take a rest by the way.

Old Man Hua glanced at the people in the room and said to everyone: "The sick people are concentrated in the left room, and the others stay in the right room, and those who are not sick should pay attention." ”

Liu Dahe also said: "We will send someone to buy medicine, your family still has hope, don't wait for your family to get well and you yourself will fall ill." ”

Everyone really didn't expect that the Hua family and the Liu family actually decided to buy medicine, and said that they would help everyone buy medicine, although there was little hope of buying medicine, but everyone still had some hope in their hearts.
