"You two are polite, since you have found out, it's just a mention." Cheng Dazhu was very glad that he dragged his family to go first at the beginning, the old and weak women and children in his family are not old and young, and they really wait until there are many people to run, and they may not be able to run.

"Thank you, thank you, the clan remembers that you have helped you three times and five times." After the patriarch finished with a smile, he turned around and went to his house, and took a few cassava from his house and gave it to him, "We are all fleeing the famine, and there are no good things to give at home, so a few cassava are for the children in the family to eat." ”

Seeing this, the village chief asked his eldest son to bring a bowl of rice; Not white rice, but rice mixed with bran.

"Dazhu, we have received the favor of your Yuanxi several times, and this bit of rice is given to the children to eat; When we get to the place, we will find something to thank you for. ”

Cheng Dazhu waved his hand again and again, "You can't ask for it, you take it back." ”

"You take what you should give." The village chief handed him the bowl and turned away without beak.

The patriarch also stuffed the cassava to him, "Take it when you should take it, it's not easy for anyone now; Being able to save your life is more important than anything else, and there is not much food at all, and it is ugly to push around. ”

Without giving him a chance to refuse, the patriarch also turned away.

Cheng Dazhu smiled helplessly holding a small bowl of rice and a few cassavas, and turned his head to look at his two sons; They looked over when the patriarch and the village chief came, but they were too tired to go.

Cheng Dazhu retracted his gaze and sat back beside Luo Cuihua, "What the patriarch and the village chief gave it, put it up for the children to eat." ”

"I cooked it for the children today, and I can't eat enough every day, just like a skinny monkey." Luo Cuihua took the small bowl and cassava and shouted, "Li, Feng, and Chen come over to help." ”

"Okay mother, I'll come now." Chen Daya said and caged her own things in one place, so she went to help Luo Cuihua.

Li Lianhua and Feng Juhua only let their children look at their luggage.

Cheng Yuanxi and the children went to find food, but their children didn't go; Just leave it to them to look after the luggage.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan each took a child to look for food in the forest; The direction of walking is the opposite of Cheng Yuanxi, the more routes he takes, the more roads he takes, no matter how many people on one route find something to eat, they can have more food today.

Cheng Yuanxi led his children to walk in the woods full of dead leaves, looking around; The bark of the tree was dry, the tree had no leaves, and it was as yellow as autumn and winter, even more desolate than autumn and winter.

Mingyi sighed, the suffering of this world continued.

I have never been to such a world, and the first time I came here, I deeply experienced the helplessness of natural disasters; The Heavenly Dao of this world cannot prevent the disasters that have fallen, and the root cause is the cauldron of human beings, and the human heart is complicated, and the righteous qi cannot resist the evil qi, so there will naturally be all kinds of disasters.

"What do you sigh about?" Cheng Yuanxi lowered his head and talked to his daughter funny.

Mingyi shook her head, she couldn't say that she was worried about the future; In this world that is about to collapse, spells cannot be used, let alone the power of the divine soul, otherwise this world will collapse directly because of her mana and the power of the divine soul.

If you want to save the world, you must first save people's hearts; As long as 10 out of 100 people are truly upright in heart and can give birth to righteousness, the world will be saved.

Otherwise, she would not have been able to save the world.

The task of this world will not be completed.

"Dad, look what's up ahead." Cheng Mingli shouted suddenly.

Cheng Yuanxi and Mingyi subconsciously looked at Cheng Mingli first, and then looked in the direction he pointed.

It was a slightly greenish ground, with a basin-like topography that resembled a hollow valley.

"Let's go down and have a look." After Cheng Yuanxi finished speaking, he grabbed his son again, "Don't worry, you remember, there are grass and trees below that are not dead; And the surrounding mountains and forests are dead, and in this case there is a high probability that there will be wild beasts in the valley, and we cannot rush past them now. ”

Mingyi nodded, the vegetation was not completely withered, indicating that there was a water source in the valley.

Natural disasters and droughts, where there is a water source, are likely to gather not only wild beasts, but even all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts.

Cheng Mingli listened carefully and said, "Dad, let's go back and call grandpa, uncle, and second uncle." ”

"Hmm." Cheng Yuanxi bowed slightly, put down his daughter, "I'll pick a grass plant and bring it back." ”

Cheng Mingli took Mingyi and waited beside him.

Cheng Yuanxi cautiously walked over the withered yellow leaves and trunks to the outside of the valley; The grass on the periphery has already shown signs of complete withering, and if it has not withered to the end, he will not stay for long, pull up a grass and leave.

Returning to his children, he stuffed the grass into his arms, picked up Mingyi, and called his son to go back.

When they arrived at the place where the clan was stationed, Cheng Yuanxi asked his children to find their mother; He took the grass to find Cheng Dazhu, "Dad." ”

"I'm back." Cheng Dazhu saw that he didn't bring anything to eat, he felt normal, there was drought everywhere, where to find food; It's a great blessing to be able to find cassava once, and it doesn't happen every time.

Cheng Yuanxi leaned over and took out the grass to show him.

Cheng Dazhu looked puzzled, but when he saw the soil on the grassroots, with a slightly vivid look, he came to the spirit.

"Where did it come from?"

"In a small valley to the south, where the vegetation is not yet completely withered; I think there is water in it, but it is not safe in the mountains where there is water today. Cheng Yuanxi expressed his worries.

Cheng Dazhu nodded, "Well, I'm going to take a look no matter what." ”

"It's time to explore, if only I could find something to eat; I won't tell the clan this time, what about my eldest brother and second brother? Call them for a trip. ”

"No, there are many people in the clan, so let's go together to be safe." Cheng Dazhu frowned, disagreeing with his decision.

Cheng Yuanxi sighed and said: "Dad, our family doesn't have much food, adults can eat less, and it's time for children to grow up; If you can't eat enough, you have to hurry, your body will collapse, and the more food you have at home, the more food your child can eat. It's not that we don't want to tell our people, it's that we don't have that ability. ”

There are few people in the clan who take the initiative to go out to find food.

But if one of them goes out as a family, the valley is not discovered by his family; Rather, it was discovered by everyone together, and one cassava was enough.

"And, Dad, there's not necessarily anything to eat in the valley." As soon as Cheng Yuanxi's words came out, Cheng Dazhu fell silent.

Under Cheng Yuanxi's earnest gaze, Cheng Dazhu was silent for a long time; It wasn't until Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan came back that they alarmed Cheng Dazhu, who was in deep thought.

Cheng Dazhu woke up, glanced at his youngest son, and finally felt that what his son said was right; The clansmen can help, but they can't help without a bottom line, they are also fleeing the famine, not a wealthy family can help the whole clan.

"Quietly call your eldest brother and second brother, don't shout for the children in the family." so as not to be seen and provoke others to speculate.

Cheng Yuanxi had a smile on his face, and then put away his smile again; Pretending to be casual, he walked to Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan, and while asking them if they had gained anything, he motioned for them to go to the side.
