Chapter 67: Famine Escape (9)

Jiang Xun and the old man didn't dare to go far, so they could only walk around the ruined temple, and after looking for a while, they didn't see anything, and there were white snowflakes everywhere.

The two also knew that there was little chance of finding food outside, so they searched for a while and went back.

The next day, Jiang Xun pinched some rice with his fingers, put it in the pot, and cooked two bowls of rice soup that could not be more thin.

Then he put some to feed the old man to the baby, and the old man had nothing but two pieces of Guanyin soil mixed with wild vegetables, and such a young newborn would definitely die if he ate this kind of cake.

Tears flashed in the old man's eyes, and he quietly turned around and secretly wiped away the tears with his hands, and then carefully picked up the eldest grandson, and fed the eldest grandson bite by bite of the hard-won gruel.

Jiang Xun served a small half bowl of rice soup for Meizi and a few children, and divided a piece of compressed biscuits, this food is getting less and less, and the weather is not good in the past two days, and there may be heavy snow to fall.

Jiang Xun couldn't help but be a little worried, if there was no food supplement, they might be hungry in a few days.

"Uncle, do you know what's going on in the city now?" Jiang Xun looked at the old man, who was a landlord before and knew a lot of things.

"Hey, big brother, I think so, you'd better not take your brother and daughter-in-law into the city, now the city is controlled by little devils, those little devils burn, kill and loot all kinds of evil, let them get a chance, even the young girl and the person who is pregnant with Liujia will not let go." After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Meizi vaguely.

Jiang Xun understood what the old man meant, the plum appearance sign, if he was seen by the little devil, it was inevitable that he would have some thoughts, and the city was the base camp of the little devil, no matter how powerful he was, he was just one person, the little devil insisted on robbing people, and no one would help him at that time.

At this time, the old man spoke again: "And this city is not easy to enter, not only must you pay the entrance fee, but also the investigation is very strict, once you find someone suspected of being a revolutionary army, you will be shot on the spot." ”

The old man said that the head was the way, but Jiang Xun did not give up, when he was in the base area before, there was no tocolytic medicine in it, Jiang Xun finally got together some medicinal materials, and now it has been used up, and the condition of Meizi is indeed not very good, even if it was not so much in the previous life, this child is estimated to be unable to be born.

There are still regular hospitals in the city, and there are some pharmacies at the worst, and the little devils take some Western medicine tightly, and Chinese medicine is not so strict.

Jiang Xun looked at the iron pot on the ground, didn't know what to think, and then scraped off the ashes on the back of the pot with a knife.

The pitch-black pot ash was sprinkled on the ground, Jiang Xun reached out and smeared the pot ash on Meizi's face, in the troubled times, the woman's appearance was also a disaster.

There were some traces of dust on Meizi's face, Jiang Xun didn't let her wash it off, but her hair was slightly tidied up, but she could also see a little bit of posture, this time Jiang Xun smeared the pot ash on Meizi's face, and smeared some incense ash on the temple platform, so that the pot ash on the face was not so obvious, and finally the Meizi's hair was scratched messily, after Jiang Xun's tossing, Meizi became a weathered and sloppy ugly woman, but it didn't look noticeable.

If you directly smear the pot ash on your face, your face is pitch black, it is estimated that anyone who sees it will have a problem, and the little devil is not a fool, looking at your face of pitch black pot ash, it is strange not to suspect it, maybe it will be arrested directly as a revolutionary army.

As for the three girls, after the famine, they were already dark and thin, and no one looked at them if they were small.

"Big brother, are you planning to go into the city?" The old man looked at Jiang Xun's toss and asked.

Jiang Xun nodded and said, "Well, I want to buy some medicine for Meizi, and my daughter-in-law always needs to supplement some nutrition when she is pregnant." ”

The old man was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "Big brother, the county town has been occupied by little devils, it is not easy to enter the city, and it is even more difficult to get out of the city, otherwise I would have taken my eldest grandson into the city a long time ago, you, don't do foolish things, that little devil will hurt us so badly." ”

Jiang Xun shook his head with a smile when he heard this: "Uncle, you misunderstood, I'm not going to go to the little devil, isn't this looking for death, the little devil doesn't treat us as human beings, I'm not stupid." ”

"Uncle, are you a revolutionary army?" Jiang Xun asked tentatively again.

The old man was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly became sad, and he choked up: "I used to be a landlord, and then the little devils invaded, and my son devoted himself to the revolutionary military cause, leaving me and my wife and daughter-in-law, and then there was a famine, our family's food was robbed, my wife starved to death, and my daughter-in-law died after giving birth to her little grandson. ”

The old man covered his face and whimpered and cried, he should have resentment in his heart, but who should he resent him, he didn't know, if the little devil didn't invade, maybe there would be no such things, so in the final analysis, it was the little devil's fault.

Jiang Xun pursed his lips, a little hesitant, it is true that it may be difficult to take Meizi and a few people into the city, after all, it is the enemy's station, if you are not careful, your life will be gone, but let Meizi stay behind him and don't worry, at this time, it is not safe anywhere.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Xun finally made a decision, he would not go to the city for the time being, and he would go alone, and he could not let Meizi get into danger.

Even if it takes a little more time, she can't take a little risk, she is about to be promoted, if the mission fails at this time, then not only will she not be able to upgrade, but the man in the suit will not let her go, and there will be no silver-robed man to save her at that time.

In the evening, the old man went out again to look for food, even some grass roots are good, after all, he must not starve to death.

Jiang Xun stayed in the broken temple and thought about what was going on, about an hour later, the old man had not come back, Jiang Xun frowned, and just wanted to go out to have a look, but saw the old man walk in with a smile.

"Big brother, look what I've found!"

I saw the old man carrying a white-haired rabbit and a snake about half a meter long with the thickness of a big finger.

The rabbit is estimated to be two pounds, and its body has already stiffened, and the snake's head has also been smashed.

"Haha, big brother, I have to say that today's luck is really good, first I found a snake hole, this snake is hibernating, I killed it with a stick, and then I saw this rabbit, frozen to death next to the roots."

Jiang Xun glanced at the rabbit and snake in the old man's hand. Just as he was about to speak, the old man suddenly spoke again: "Big brother, do you think this is done, I, can I exchange this rabbit for some rice with you, my eldest grandson?"

"Uncle, I'm also about to tell you, my daughter-in-law is pregnant and I don't know where to supplement nutrition, but I don't have much rice here." Jiang Xun said and took out all the rice, and there was still about half a catty.

The old man hurriedly took it: "Big brother, at this time, Mi Kejin is expensive, in the final analysis, I still take advantage." ”
