Li Dabao was slightly stunned when he saw Liu Pan'er coming back, "Aunt Liu, why are you back?" ”

Liu Paner replied: "Uncle Village said that I am the only adult in our family and will not let me go." I thought about it too, so I stayed. ”

Li Rong thought about it, took the basket, and filled it with a few potatoes, "Aunt Liu, the village chief's grandparents are good to us, we can't help but remember." These eggs are delicious, why don't I send a few over? ”

On the way to escape the famine, there is nothing more sincere than giving food.

Liu Paner was quite shocked when she heard Li Rong's words, and from Li Rong's body, she saw her in her previous life when she was a child.

She thinks that although this little girl is spicy, she is brave and strategic, as long as there is a platform and opportunity, she will become a great weapon.

Liu Pan'er nodded, "That's okay, I'll pick a few and send them over." By the way, this thing is not very nice to call the ground egg, let's choose a nice name. ”

Li Rong scratched her head, "What grows in the soil is similar to a goose egg, isn't it called a ground egg?" ”

Li Dabao thought about it and replied with a snicker: "It's called a ground pimple." ”

Liu Pan'er was speechless, it was better to call it a ground egg, "Let's call it a potato, round fruits grow in the soil." ”

Li Rong saw that Liu Paner was obsessed with the name, and she didn't argue, "That's okay, it's called potatoes." Aunt Liu, you rest, I'll send it over. ”

Liu Pan'er carried the basket and shook her head to refuse, "I slept on the ox cart at night, you two brothers and sisters quickly lie down for a while, and you can rest for a while if you can't sleep." ”

Liu Paner picked up a few potatoes and put them in a basket and gave them to the village chief's daughter-in-law.

Zhou Cuihua, the daughter-in-law of the village chief, saw that Liu Paner sent something, and immediately smiled, "Come here, what else do you send?" Hey, the head of the house, has been gone for a while, and I don't know how I'm doing outside? ”

Seven or eight families with ox carts hid at intervals, and now they are all coming out one after another, probing their brains on the road.

Liu Pan'er lowered her voice and said to Zhou Cuihua: "This is the potato I dug up, it's quite rare, we ate it last night, it's not poisonous, it's delicious." Auntie, something big definitely happened last night, let's just run fast. ”

Since the crossing, her hearing has been particularly acute, and she can faintly hear someone shouting "catch it" in the distance from the torches.

At night, there are ordinary people fleeing the famine along the way, except for people, what else is there to catch?

Zhou Cuihua has been particularly convinced of Liu Paner since Liu Paner killed the four Zhao family masters, "Yes, the restlessness of the night, it is estimated that many people will suffer this time." Yesterday you told our boss that I didn't think it was necessary to settle down in the south.

But think about it, I have escaped the famine a few times, but not every time it was safe. My youngest son was lost on the way, and if I could settle down in the south, even if it was a bit hard at first, I would be willing. I just want the family to be safe and healthy. ”

Zhou Cuihua looked at the distance of the path, with tears and longing in her eyes, thinking about the child who died young.

The idea of relocating to a safe land is deeply rooted.

If they can live in their hometown in peace, who wants to leave their hometown and flee the famine?

Liu Paner wants to settle down in the south, but it is not easy for her to be a woman and four children, and when she is bullied, there is no helper.

She first persuaded the village chief's daughter-in-law, and then the village chief's daughter-in-law persuaded Village Chief Li.

Liu Pan'er nodded, "If it goes well, we will have to reach the south in half a month, we have no money and no house, but the south is warm, we can find an ownerless place, cut down trees to build houses, open up wasteland and farm land, it is better than waiting for the government to give food, and then return to our hometown after the New Year." ”

Zhou Cuihua thought for a while and looked at Liu Pan'er, "At that time, let's see, even if we can't build a house, we can find a cave to live in, and cultivate the land first." If we have the chance, we will stay, and I don't want to be displaced. My grandson was frightened last night and had a fever, but luckily I had prepared medicine and I had to get through it quickly. ”

"Auntie, you're busy, I also have to cook for the children." Liu Paner said goodbye, she was already hungry, and the child must be hungry too.

When Liu Paner came back, Li Rong and Li Dabao had already cooked the meal and served it to Liu Paner.

"Thank you." Liu Paner is grateful, she also sees the children's hard work, under harsh conditions, they must be considerate of each other and keep warm.

Li Rong's face was slightly red, a little embarrassed, "No thanks." ”

Just after Liu Pan'er ate a bowl of porridge, she heard Village Chief Li panting and running over, "Yuanqing's family, you really said it, those people who ran slowly last night suffered and were kidnapped by a group of bandits."

Half of the nearly 400 people in Zhaojia Village were taken captive and some were injured. We've just passed, and they're crying! Because our village ran in front and fast, in addition to losing some food and covering, people were still there, which was already a blessing in misfortune. Hey, these people who kill a thousand knives will not die well. ”

Liu Pan'er's judgment was not wrong, for her, this was a worse result than starvation, "Uncle Village, can we still rush during the day?" ”

Village Chief Li nodded, "If you want to say that this escape from the famine, it has actually become a default thing for the government, not only will no one stop you, passing by some cities, but also sending officials to dredge the official roads, which is why these bandits and traffickers kidnap people at night."

Therefore, we must hurry during the day and find a place to hide at night. You hurry up and make more food, we don't stop at noon, we keep hurrying, and strive to reach the Dadu River as soon as possible. ”

"Got it, Uncle Village, you should go back quickly, and after I've got it here, I'll go with you." Liu Pan'er looked nervous, they didn't know what would happen in the future, but moving forward was the only way.

After Village Chief Li left, Li Rong looked at Liu Pan'er with admiration, "Aunt Liu, how did you hear such a distant movement last night when you were asleep?" ”

Liu Paner threw potatoes into the fire, her heart palpitated, and she was full of emotion, "I was sleeping at the time, I woke up suddenly, my heart was beating fast, my ears were very smart, I vaguely heard someone shouting to arrest people, and there was firelight, it was a big night, it must be no good." ”

Li Dabao looked at his younger brothers and sisters who were playing on the side, and his heart palpitated. If they run slowly, they are also taken captive. Work as a slave in a cottage or be transported to other places by human traffickers to be sold.

Li Dabao secretly looked at Liu Paner's gaze, admiring Liu Paner in his heart, he could learn Liu Paner's ability, and he would be able to protect himself and his younger siblings in the future.

After packing the roasted potatoes and boiling water, Liu Paner packed everything and drove the oxcart, only to find that the cart was stuck.

Liu Pan'er came down to check, and had to take down all the things on the cart and unload the reins of the old scalper, "Ah Rong, Dabao, you look at your younger brothers and sisters." ”

Liu Paner pushed the ox cart by herself, with both hands force, leaning forward, because of the excessive force, the blue tendons on her forehead and neck burst out, and she pushed the ox cart with difficulty, moving little by little.
