Fu Chang didn't hear the news, he was hiding in the mountains with his two sons at this time, and there were thirty-nine households hiding in the mountains with them, a total of one hundred and eight people.

However, they actually numbered more than 800 people at the beginning, but they were in exile all the way here, and when they saw that they were getting closer and closer to Luoyang, the news that more than 200,000 people of the King of the East China Sea and his party had been wiped out came, and before their grief could be relieved, they encountered the Xiongnu army.

Look at the direction, the Huns are going to fight the Huns, the king of the East China Sea took away so many people, Luoyang's defense is empty, how can it be defended?

Fu Chang dared to go to Luoyang, and immediately ran to the mountains with his two sons.

In the process of fleeing together, many refugees knew that Fu Chang had some skills, and when they saw him running into the mountains, they also ran along.

There were Hun soldiers chasing into the forest with knives, and under the shroud of death, their group ran for a long, long time, and when they finally couldn't stop running, they were already deep in the mountains, and they didn't know how to get out.

The people who ran away on the road were not counted, Fu Chang finally counted, and a total of ninety-two people ran together.

They don't dare to go out for the time being, the Huns are raging, and I don't know how Luoyang is, how is Your Majesty?

Fu Chang was worried in his heart, but he soon suppressed this kind of big thing, and the most important thing at present was the survival of a group of them.

There are fierce beasts in the mountains, poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, which are also very dangerous, but compared to the murderous Huns outside, the refugees unanimously decided to live in the mountains.

They pushed out two old men to Fu Chang and said, "I see that the terrain here is quite flat, and I can hear the sound of water, obviously there is a water source not far away, it is better to stay here temporarily, and we will go out when the war outside is settled." ”

Having said that, who knows when the war will end?

Fu Chang looked back at the road, couldn't tell the direction for a while, and nodded in response.

So they followed the sound of the water, and the flat terrain went up slightly and then downward, and the trees were dense and uninhabitable.

After another quarter of an hour, the dim light obscured by the tall trees suddenly brightened, and the eyes of the people suddenly opened up.

It is a col surrounded by three mountains, and in the distance water flows down from the mountain stream, forming a large pool below, and the water from the pool overflows, forming a river.

The river divided the flat land into two sides, and the side they stood on occupied about two-thirds of the col, and Fu Chang's gaze followed the river downward, and he saw that the river seemed to rush into the mountain on his right and disappear.

Fu Chang lived here, he led people to build thatched huts, and reclaimed a lot of fields on both sides of the river, and they carried very few farm tools, basically for the refugees to use for self-defense.

There is also some food and seeds.

Seeds, necessary for fleeing, refugees fleeing their hometowns, except for those who flee suddenly, all those who leave after careful consideration will take all kinds of seeds with them, which is their capital to start anew.

Fu Chang gathered all the seeds, and found that there were the most kinds of vegetables, a lot of hemp seeds, and the least grain seeds.

Most people have already started eating grains.

Therefore, he could only pick out as much as possible from the grain to make the grain.

There are a lot of resources in the mountains, although they are very bitter, they always can't eat enough, and occasionally they will be bitten by poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, fortunately, Fu Chang knows some medical skills, and he also recognizes herbal medicine, and there are no people who have died because of being bitten by poisonous insects and poisonous snakes.

As for the beasts, they are basically young and strong people who go out to hunt together, and they are numerous and have fire, so they can fight against them.

In the past three years, there have been fewer people and more people, and the small village called "Yukimura" has begun to have newborns.

Living in the mountains is from scratch, so time flies, and it is difficult to perceive the changes of time.

Fortunately, Fu Chang never forgot the time outside, and when he decided to stay, he began to let his eldest son Fu Yong record that when the paper on his body ran out, he engraved it on the rock wall, so as not to forget what night it was.

Fu Yong carved on the rock wall the eighth day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Yongjia, sunny, and then put the stone chips in a stone cave the size of a fist, and turned around to find his father.

Fu Chang was cutting beans in the field, many villagers were working in the field, and an old man was very happy and came over with a sickle, "County Jun, this year is still a bumper harvest, I see that the land at the foot of the mountain can also be cultivated." ”

Since they hid in the mountains, the harvest has been good, oh, last year there was little rain, even the water that flowed down with the mountain stream was much smaller, it normally sloped down like a continuous cloth, and last year's water was like water poured out of a kettle, only in two lines, and even stopped for more than ten days in between, but it scared them to death.

Fortunately, the deep pool under the mountain stream has enough water reserves, and the water vapor in the mountain is strong, and in the end there is a bumper harvest, but there are many beasts that ran here last year, and they killed three people in order to drive away the beasts, and finally Fu Chang asked them to take a step back, and let the field downstream to the beasts in the mountains, and set traps in the middle to prevent the beasts from approaching, and their houses were built on the upstream side of the mountain.

Fu Chang knew that something was wrong outside the mountain after seeing the strange situation of the mountain stream and the beasts in the mountain, and he and his two sons said: "I'm afraid that the drought is serious outside, and I don't know how the war is, and in the event of such a natural disaster, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to settle down, so let's stay here and wait until the time comes to go out of the mountain." ”

Originally, he had already identified the direction, he had been hunting and picking things for more than a year, and had roughly found his way out, and he originally wanted to go out after the harvest this autumn, but now......

They decided to stay for another year.

This year, when the water in the mountain stream finally returned to normal and the number of wild animals that came to drink it decreased, they knew that the drought should be over.

But it is not known how it is out there.

Fu Chang originally wanted to go out, but when he heard the old man mention continuing to open up the wasteland, he was even more moved, and said: "The farm tools in our hands are seriously worn, since we want to open up the wasteland, it is better to let people go out and buy some farm tools after the autumn harvest and come back." ”

Originally, they didn't bring in many farm tools, and when they wore out, they even fewer.

The old man doesn't want to go out, the outside world is very chaotic, how can there be a good life in the mountains.

Fu Chang here, neither rent nor tax, only every year everyone to hand over some grain, he also used it to support the lonely elderly and orphans, the soil of this mountain col is fat, and the harvest is very good.

In only three years, they were able to eat a full stomach, and although most of the food they ate was bean rice, they were also very happy.

So he said, "You can make a farm tool out of stone and wood, didn't we make a lot of stone hoes and stone axes before?" ”

"But the stone is bulky, and it is not always better than iron," Fu Chang said: "And our paper is long gone, and the mountain medicinal materials are not complete, so we still have to go out and add some supplies." ”

He knew that they had adapted to life in the mountains, and they were very resistant to going out at this time, so he did not express his intention of going out to find the imperial court.
