Chapter 65: On the Road

On the morning of the second day, Yan Lingxi went to pour water after washing, and within two steps, he saw An Laohei and Chen Xiaoshu pouting there.

The two of them squatted on the ground, as if they were still digging something, and their mouths were not idle.

"Uncle Hei, I said you can't dig somewhere else? Do you have to stare at me? Chen Xiaoshu was dissatisfied.

"Who's staring at you? Little bunny. An Dahei snorted, "Why don't you dig somewhere else?" ”

"I'll come first!"

"I can't dig if you come first? This land belongs to yours, huh? ”

What is this old and young robbing? Yan Lingxi was curious, and quietly walked over to take a look, snort, grassroots.

"Are you both poor enough to eat grass?"

Although it is an escape from the famine, it has only been out for a few days, and it is said that everyone should still have some miscellaneous grains and green bud rice to eat.

The two of them raised their heads together, and An Laohei took the lead in speaking: "It's really a girl, I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are if you don't belong to the family." ”

Chen Xiaoshu also said seriously: "Lingxi, you can also dig some, although we still have food now, we may not be able to eat when, if there are grass roots, eat grass roots first, and the food can be put away." ”

Yan Lingxi thanked Chen Xiaoshu for the reminder, smiled and shook his head: "Don't dig, I have a way to live." ”

An Lao's black eyes were shining: "What way to live?" ”

She didn't answer, and looked at the two of them contemplatively for a while: "Little tree, I remember that you will make some gadgets out of wood, right?" What should you do with a scoop, a bowl and chopsticks? Set up a stall and sell it! And you, Uncle Hei, think about what you will do, you really can't go to the city gate to talk to others. ”

Yan Lingxi teased the boring son, and I have to say that An Laohei's mouth is really idle.

Chen Xiaoshu listened, and he felt that he could do it, these things that need to be used on weekdays, there are always people who lose them, even if they can't sell a few children, can't they get a bite to eat? It's better than digging up grass roots. He stood up, patted the earth, and went looking for wood.

An Laohei pursed his lips, snorted and left.

Back at the camp, everyone casually filled their stomachs with something, and the team set off again, starting from here on the official road.

The official road is smooth and accessible, which can save a lot of time than taking the small road, but the bad thing is that there are too many people on the official road now, and the most are refugees who are similar to them, who are not full of food but will not starve to death, and then there are the kind of people who are not clothed and have a withered face, and they almost meet anything to eat on the road. Occasionally, there were also dignitaries who drove carriages or rode horses at gallop. It's a mixture.

Like the worst of the homeless people, they often disturb other teams and cause trouble, and they don't see blatant robbery for the time being, but there are often things like stealing or snatching a piece and a half of bread.

Most of the people on the road walked slowly on two legs, one moment they were stolen here and scolded angrily looking for people, and the other side was fighting and shouting.

In such a chaotic situation, the team of Lianxinzhuang is extremely special.

First of all, there are a lot of people, more than 100 cars are mighty and there is no end to see the end, some people see that the convoy is too long, so they want to find a weak part to get into it and touch something, but they can only stare dryly and watch the team walk over like a snake.

There were young men with wooden sticks guarding every car, especially the cars of food, water, and old and weak women and children.

I don't know how long I have been hungry for a little body, where can I compare with others!

These little crumbs were all dispersed in less than half a day, and no one coveted the convoy anymore.

They walked peacefully for three days, and on the evening of the third day, the procession stopped at the sound of a trumpet and began to camp quickly.

The men removed the sticks and tarpaulins, the women and children took small parts and handed them to the tent supporters at the right time, and the rest of the people who did not need them automatically went to collect firewood and light bonfires.

Yan Lingxi rode a horse from a high place and watched, nodding with satisfaction, after a few days of anti-review practice, this team finally has a little look.

Everyone lit the fire in groups and put it on the pot, boiled their own grains, green buds and rice mixed with the grass roots and wild vegetables dug on the road, and sprinkled the surplus with salt, which was the only meal of the day.

And several families led by Chen Xiaoshu and An Dahei still have some dry food and cakes to eat.

They are all people with some skills in them.

Some can weave straw shoes, some can do carpentry work, some can repair cars, and some are like Li Lingyun, who can write letters for others.

Don't look at the few people who can still think of sending letters to relatives and friends on the way to escape from the famine, but if there is, they are all affectionate and righteous, and they finally met someone who can ghostwrite, almost all of them stand there to wipe their tears, and those who have the ability will reward a few children. In the end, it was Li Lingyun, a child, who earned the most.

This group of people also remembered when they looked at Chen Xiaoshu and An Dahei, on weekdays in the village, their skills were worthless, and now they realized that they could really use it on this long road to escape from the wilderness.

They were the first to start a small business, some of them could make money, and some of them could exchange for some dry food, which was better than when they first escaped from the famine.

Everyone else is racking their brains to think about what they can do, and they don't think about it for the time being, only their eyes are red.

An Dahei is holding half a coarse grain cake to the mouth of the little grandson, the little grandson's name is Bao Dan'er, he is the most favored on weekdays, and he is not used to eating this coarse grain cake.

"Master, I don't eat it, this thing is a throat!"

Bao Dan'er howled with a crying voice, and pushed the cake hard, and those who had no bread to eat swallowed and looked at it.

He coaxed Qian and said: "My eldest grandson is the most well-behaved, I didn't eat cakes yesterday, it's not that I can't run, I can only be energetic and grow up by eating something dry!" ”

Bao Dan'er listened to his milk, coaxed a few words, and finally reluctantly took it and ate it.

Yan Lingxi took advantage of everyone's kung fu to look at Bao Dan'er, grabbed a large handful of jerky and put it into his own pot.

The fire under the bottom has been extinguished, the weather is hot, the porridge can't be cold for a while, such a warm porridge with salty jerky tastes just right, the taste is enough, and it is not greasy to eat in summer.

Chen Shulin's family took Father Liang and Uncle Yu to open a fire next to them, and they ate the same multigrain porridge, except Chen Gen'er and Xiaoxiao had a few salted radish.

Yan Lingxi scooped a spoonful of wild vegetable porridge for the old man, Chen Shulin and Yubo knew, this girl couldn't live without meat for a while, Daddy Liang was later, he didn't know, he ate two bites of jerky and almost screamed.

When I looked up in surprise, I saw the little girl with wide eyes and an index finger raised to "shhh" at herself.

He quickly swallowed what was in his mouth and whispered thanks.

Daddy Liang's surname is Sun, and after getting acquainted with it, it's not good to call Daddy Liang's father, Yan Lingxi also called him uncle: "Uncle Sun, have you picked herbs recently?" Can you first make a batch of preparations to cure the wind and cold? ”
