Chapter 846: Famine, Natural Disasters 3
Cheng Mingyi doesn't believe it, natural disasters have occurred in both the north and the south, how good can the Yanhai area be?
The whole south has not escaped the doom, although Yanhai is by the sea, it is not absolutely enough to fill the stomach.
"Why are children and sons worried so much? With your father and mother here, you won't starve to death. Cheng Dazhu spoke loudly, seemingly a little fierce, but in fact, his mood was very stable.
The head of the family opened his mouth, Cheng Mingyi didn't continue to ask, just looked at his father and mother and nodded.
Cheng Yuanxi pretended to smile lightly: "I know a friend who runs a businessman, and he said that there are many seafood, fish and shrimp in the Yanhai area; Even in disaster years, it can fill its stomach, and it is always more abundant than inland resources. ”
"Third uncle, really?" Cheng Mingyue raised her head, her eyes shining with excitement.
"It's true." Cheng Yuanxi nodded.
Cheng Mingyue cheered happily, "Great, as long as we arrive in Yanhai, we will be able to eat enough." ”
Eight-year-old children, their minds are not right, but they are not to the point of being completely crooked; If you correct it well, you can still correct it back.
Thinking of this, Mingyi silently stared at her.
Her mission is to put an end to the chaos and keep the world from destruction; However, natural disasters continue to occur, and the world may be destroyed in the later stage. So what is the cause of the extinction? Is it providential, or is it man-made?
A smile appeared on the faces of Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan.
Cheng Dazhu and Luo Cuihua are not so optimistic, they have lived for decades, and they have more experience than their son and daughter-in-law, and they have a lot of experience, and they don't have to think about it to know that it can't be so simple.
Yanhai is so good, there must be a lot of people who go there; Coupled with the fact that the locals welcome them, it is unknown whether they will be welcomed.
No matter how much they worry, it is useless, they can only take one step at a time.
After a half-rest, the people in the village wanted to continue their journey, and Cheng Mingyi and the others returned in embarrassment.
Cheng Yuanxi stepped forward and looked at him, and touched his hand from top to bottom on his body, "Are you injured?" ”
"Dad, I'm not hurt, we found something." Cheng Mingli stroked his father's hand and took out two cassava from his arms, "This thing can be eaten, we saw that the wild boar gnawed a lot." ”
Cheng Yuanxi took it in his hand and looked at it, he didn't know what it was, he hadn't seen it; Looking up at Cheng Mingyi and the four of them, Cheng Mingyi took the lead and nodded in affirmation.
"We did see wild boars eat it, and there were two large wild boars at that time, and we did not dare to alarm them; I waited until they had finished eating and left, and it was because they were too late to come back. ”
"And how do you eat this thing?" Cheng Yuanxi made a difficulty, "Gnawing like a wild boar?" ”
Cheng Mingyi's five men shook their heads again and again.
Cheng Yuanxi took the things and called out to a few nephews and sons to find Cheng Dazhu, "Dad, take a look." ”
Cheng Dazhu took it and squinted his eyes.
"This thing can be eaten, I used to eat it when I was following the merchant outside, and I heard that it was called cassava; Some of them are on the mountain, but they are not very delicious, so they can be cooked and thrown into the fire. ”
"As long as you can eat, we have a lot of food consumption along the way; There are other things to hold for a while, and there is a little food left. Luo Cuihua snatched the cassava and asked Cheng Yuanxi, "Where did you find it?" ”
Cheng Yuanxi pushed his nephew and son out, "They found out." ”
"Is there a lot of cassava?" Luo Cuihua asked sophisticatedly.
Cheng Mingyi didn't know how many there were for a long time.
Cheng Minglian, Cheng Mingming, and Cheng Mingxin couldn't tell clearly, but the youngest Cheng Mingli came forward to explain, "Grandmother, looking at the area as spacious as our house, and the vines are entangled, it should bear a lot of fruit,"
Luo Cuihua and Cheng Dazhu glanced at each other, both saw the same emotion in each other's eyes, and nodded affirmatively.
Cheng Dazhu said: "The cassava matter can't be dug secretly by our family, Yuanxi went to call the village chief and the patriarch to come and discuss." ”
"Understood, son, I'll go." Cheng Yuanxi nodded in response, turned around and went in the other direction.
Cheng Mingyi and others are old, and they have been cultivated since childhood to obey the arrangement of their elders; At this juncture, none of them stood up and said no, they all knew that their grandfather and grandmother would not harm them.
Cheng Mingyue stood at a distance, heard cassava to eat, and Cheng Dazhu called Cheng Yuanxi to call someone to come over to discuss; She was too young to think of anything else, only that her grandfather was going to give cassava to someone else.
But she did not dare to speak, the majesty of her grandfather at home was not to be provoked; stamped his feet hard and anxiously ran to find Cheng Yuandong and Li Lianhua and his wife.
"Father, go and persuade your grandfather and grandmother; My brothers found something to eat, but my grandfather and grandmother wanted to give it to others, and our family couldn't get enough to eat, so why should we give it to others! ”
I haven't eaten a full meal since I fled the famine, and I'm hungry every day, but I can't die of hunger; With a lot to eat, will she still be hungry?
Li Lianhua's face changed, and she subconsciously looked at Cheng Yuandong's face; I want to see what Cheng Yuandong thinks.
Cheng Yuandong frowned, quickly stretched out, and reprimanded Cheng Mingyue in a deep voice: "What nonsense, which of the elders in the family doesn't hurt you, and who of your grandfathers and grandmothers doesn't hurt you?" Your grandfather and grandmother made a decision that they had to do, and you didn't even understand that. ”
After speaking, he turned to Li Lianhua.
"You teach well, eight-year-old child, not sensible at all, only brains to speak, and what to do when you encounter something; That is, the family is so used to her, she will be disgusted outside, and she should talk about her in-laws in a few years. ”
"I see." Li Lianhua thought of her parents-in-law at home, they were indeed good people; Whether it's for the children at home or for the daughter-in-law, it's a bowl of water that is even, and it will hurt the younger generations below.
If it were a last resort, the two old men would not give up the benefits they had received.
Cheng Yuandong glared at his daughter again, turned around and went to his father's side; When he arrived, Cheng Yuanxi came over with the village chief and the patriarch, and he shouted people.
"Village chief, patriarch."
The village chief was an old man with half-white hair and over fifty years of age; The patriarch was relatively young, looking in his early forties, very haggard.
"Yuandong! You came to your father? The patriarch asked.
Cheng Yuandong nodded, "Yes." ”
"Let's be together, then." The patriarch spoke, and asked the village chief to walk past them and walk towards Cheng Dazhu and Luo Cuihua.
Cheng Yuandong leaned slightly sideways and spoke in a low voice with the brother who was walking beside him, "Third brother, did you really find something to eat?" ”
Cheng Yuanxi looked left and right, and after looking around, he found that there were no people with foreign surnames.
"Well, cassava, dad said it could be eaten; The children have also seen wild boars eat them, so it should be true. ”
"That's great." Cheng Yuandong was overjoyed and rubbed his palms, "There is not much food in our family, there is new food, and the food can last for a while; Otherwise, the road behind our family will be even more difficult. ”
On the way to escape the famine, food is the confidence.
