Chapter 51: Escape from the Famine

Listening to the buzzing cry next door, Xia glanced at a few people in the family, and Feng Ertian said: "This grandma is really, I really thought we would leave her alone." ”

Feng Yili snorted: "You deserve it, scare her, look at her, no, see if she dares to treat us so harshly in the next life." ”

Xia Shi glared at the two of them and said, "Okay, you guys hurry up and pack up, and my mother will go and see your grandmother." ”

Xia said, clapped his palms and went to Zhang's hall.

When Xia went in, Zhang was crying sadly, she used to have a big temper, since she had an illness, she recognized the eldest and second family, and her whole spirit was not good.

In front of the Xia family, he often looked ashamed before he could speak.

"Mother, the village chief has said that he will flee the desert and go on the road the day after tomorrow, what are you doing if you don't clean up?"

Hearing Xia's voice, Zhang raised his head, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and said, "What else are you packing?" If I die on the way to escape the famine, I might as well die at home, at least closer to the third child and their father and son. ”

Xia Shi couldn't help but be stunned when she mentioned Feng Laosan, and then listened to her: "What is the mother talking nonsense?" With us here, how can we leave you alone at home and leave you alone? No matter what you say, you are the mother of your father-in-law. ”

She picked up Zhang, who was squatting on the ground, and said: "If my mother wants to reduce some of the burden for us, then pack up your own things, don't worry, Yili and Ertian are already adults, they can take care of you, besides, there are me and Xixi on the road." ”

"You ...... Are you really willing to take care of me? Zhang was a little unconvinced, although she had lowered her profile and been good to the Xia family in recent years, but what she had done to the Xia family in the past, she still felt too vicious when she thought about it.

Xia said: "Can this still be fake? ”

Seeing that Xia didn't seem to be joking, Zhang grinned at this time, but as soon as she smiled, she thought that the two sons she treated with heart and lungs abandoned her without hesitation, and Zhang felt cold again.

But no matter what, under Xia's persuasion, she still honestly packed her bags.

The next day, the villagers packed up all the things they had packed, and the big baskets and small pockets were densely piled up.

When it gets dark, every family makes their last meal on their stove and has to leave their homes, which is cruel to each of them.

The road ahead is unknown, but we can only move forward, because there is only a dead end left.

If there are animals in the house, they put on wooden planks to carry things, so that they can save a lot of effort.

The Xia family invited the Zhang family to eat together, and the Zhang family was flattered and ate the whole meal carefully.

With the addition of the Zhang family, now their family has six people, and the food of the six people is a lot, although compared to other village households, their things are much more abundant, but in the face of the uncertain future tomorrow, the hearts of several people are still a little heavy.

Different from their calmness is the wind boss and the wind second family, the wind boss with two daughters and a mother-in-law, the three women have always had no physical strength, and they must be his oil bottles on the road, and the wind boss scolded the mother and daughter when the atmosphere was not smooth.

Feng Lao Er and his fierce mother-in-law also quarreled, Feng Lao Er disliked Nie's everything, he repeatedly emphasized that it was an escape, the more things he carried, the more strength he consumed, and the more he ate and drank at that time, he would consume more.

Nie was furious, saying that he was a man, and he knew how to open his mouth to eat, and he didn't know that he had to bring these things.

Anyway, the old house of the Feng family was noisy for a while, and there was no harmony at all.

Zhang's sighed secretly, no wonder the family and everything is prosperous, look at the Xia family, how harmonious this atmosphere is, no wonder the days of mothers and sons have been getting better and better over the years.

The whole Pingshan Village was destined to be sleepless this night, except for the little babies who didn't know anything and still fell asleep.

The next day, the village chief asked them to take turns to protect the villagers according to the young men selected before, so as not to leave the villagers alone, and then counted the number of children and adults respectively to ensure that no one was left out in the village, and the village chief nodded.

Seeing that the group of people in Wu Yang fell on him with expectant eyes, the village chief's brows couldn't help but tighten a little.

"Alright, everyone, bring your own salutes, let's go on our way. If you don't have labor at home, throw away other things that you can't use for the time being, don't be reluctant, compared to life, these things outside the body are nothing. ”

"But remember to bring water and food, both of which are indispensable."

Although the village chief felt that everyone would not leave it with him, he still instructed him to do it again for the sake of safety.

After making sure that everything was ready, the village chief asked the person who had stepped on the familiar road before to start leading the way in front.

However, as soon as they drove away, the elderly people in the village could no longer hold back and began to cry out loud.

Before he could leave, he heard the cry first, and the village chief couldn't help but shout: "What are you crying about? We can still catch our breath before we can cry, and you can see for yourselves, how many homeless people have traveled so far and finally collapsed at the entrance of our village? ”

"Now so many people in our village set off together, take care of each other together, we still have water and food, I don't know how many people are lucky, everyone cheers up, show our usual spirit of hardship, we are not afraid of the difficulties on the road to escape."

"Don't worry, I heard that the land in Feiyan City is very fertile, what is planted, what grows, the sweet potatoes planted are bigger than the bowl, I heard that there can grow two crops a year, such a good land, don't you want to take a look? Don't want to see everything? ”

"What?"

When the old peasant in the village heard the words of the village chief, he was immediately stunned, and his mouth grew big.

"Two crops a year? Wouldn't we be able to grow rice all year round? ”

The village chief smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you're right, that's it." ”

"Then I want to go to all sorts." When Zhang Laohan heard this, he immediately straightened his waist and said, "If you run away from the famine, you can run away from the famine, what are you afraid of?" As long as we grit our teeth and get through these difficulties, our good days are ahead. ”

The people in the village, who have worked with mud all their lives, will hear that there is a place where two crops can be produced in a year, and their hearts will suddenly ignite a fire of hope.

It doesn't matter where they are, it's important to have a land that they are familiar with.

"Stinky woman, why are you crying? If you like this barren land, you can plant it yourself, and the whole village will plant it for you, and we will go and plant the land. ”

"Oh, I've lived so long, I also want to see the land that can produce two seasons a year, and I want to grow more land for a few years."

"I didn't cry, I just got the sand in my eyes, and my wife also wants to plant the land."

Because of the village chief's words about the good land, the originally somewhat sad atmosphere changed in an instant.

The village chief smiled and said, "Okay, let's go, the strong laborers in the family are all looking at their old people and children." ”
