The rest of the flesh was torn apart, wrapped in dead leaves, and one person carried a bag into his arms and walked back; As for the oily hands on the ground, there is no place to wash, only to wipe the weeds twice, and then stand at the foot of the mountain to disperse the smell.

The smell of flesh on their bodies dissipated, and the little brother and sister touched back to their parents and lay down; With the faint light of the night, they first looked around to see if anyone had woken up, and then reached out to push their parents beside them after making sure that no one was awake.

Cheng Yuanxi and his wife were excited, and they subconsciously wanted to shout, but Mingyi hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.

"Daddy, don't shout."

The two of them looked down at a pair of children and wiped the sweat from their faces, "It's you!"

Cheng Mingli smiled apologetically, his apology Cheng Yuanxi and his wife couldn't see it.

"Dad, mother, sister has caught the prey again, it has been roasted, you go with us to the foot of the mountain to eat and come back." The smell of meat will come out here, what should other people do when they smell it and wake up, to divide it or not?

Chen Daya calmed down and said, "You two keep it to eat, Daddy and Mom are not hungry."

"Oh, mother, my brother and I ate the one specially left for you." Mingyi pounced on her and muttered in her ear.

Cheng Yuanxi sat next to Chen Daya, her daughter could hear her speech, and smiled, "You two, you went to the mountains again in the middle of the night, and you can't see the road in such a dark Tian'er Mountain; Don't go in the future, my father and mother will be worried."

"Dad, it's not that I want to go, it's that I'm too hungry." He sighed like a mouthful: "That porridge at home is not worth it, I can't sleep when I'm hungry, I have to eat something to sleep."

Cheng Mingli pinched her little face distressedly, "Dad said that there is still half a month to go to the coastal area, and the road after that is long."

"Yes! It's still growing." Mingyi was also sad.

I can't eat enough and can't starve to death, dragging my life to hurry.

"Little girl, what's the matter, don't we have something to eat! Every night we have to stop and rest, and my father and mother will find a place to eat with you." Chen Daya hugged her daughter distressedly, the original plan didn't work.

Fifty pounds of grain are eaten openly, and it will not last long; To save some and settle in the local area, she also needs food, she thinks that saving a little is a little, so as to leave a way back for the future.

But I didn't expect my daughter to be so hungry.

I can't help it during the day, but I can always let my children eat a full meal at night.

Cheng Yuanxi nodded and hummed lightly, "The food is kept to occupy the space, and it is tiring to push and walk, and it is easy for my father to push the cart after eating."

Mingyi laughed dumbly, Cheng Mingli was uneasy because Mingyi was hungry and could only go out to find food, and couldn't help laughing after listening to Cheng Yuanxi's words.

In the end, Cheng Yuanxi and his wife didn't eat the roast rabbit and let them keep it for themselves.

After that, at night, Cheng Yuanxi and his family would bring a pot and put some water to find a place to cook a pot of porridge, and the family would be full of water.

Cheng Yuandong and the others didn't notice it once, they were very tired from traveling during the day, as long as they didn't shout deliberately, they wouldn't wake up.

Fifty catties of grain seems to be a lot, but it has only been eaten for ten days; Cheng Mingli and Mingyi's brothers and sisters are eating more and more, and they only have one full meal a day, so they naturally eat openly, so that their bodies can keep up with the level of consumption.

"It's coming soon, we can get to Yanhai in a few days."

Cheng Yuanxi chattered.

Chen Daya was also dyed with melancholy, "I don't know if there is a town ahead."

"There should be something ahead, we have come all the way, and the drought on the ground has eased a day ago; I don't think there is a drought ahead, and even if there is, it will be light, and the people in the town will not flee until they have to."

Cheng Yuanxi guessed well, they walked for another two days, and the situation along the way was getting better and better; Finally, I saw an inhabited town within the range of Yanhai, but there were many people who fled the famine and surrounded the city.

"When you enter the city, you have to pay the entrance fee, one or two pieces of silver per person." The village chief returned from the city gates, his brow furrowed; Not everyone in the clan has silver, and they need one or two to enter the city, and where is there any extra money to buy food.

The hearts of the tribesmen are cool and cool.

"A tael of silver for a man?"

"They robbed the money

Ahh

"Where are we with all this silver?"

"We want to go to a place by the sea, either through the city, or by the hill around the city; They are making a fortune, and we don't want to go out of the mountains and have to pay to go into the city."

Where they are now can only be regarded as the edge of the Yanhai.

"But we have no food, so we have to buy some food."

"If you have food, you can take a detour from the mountains, but you have to go through it; Patriarch, organize a few people to go into the city to buy food!"

"Yes, patriarch, organize people to go into the city to buy food."

The patriarch shook his head, "It's not that simple, if we don't have food after we enter the city, it doesn't matter how much food there is."

If you can't buy enough food, there's little point in going to the city; Moreover, if they enter, they will not necessarily sell them grain, and it is impossible for the officials in the city to be unaware of the drought, and if they control the right to buy grain, they will pay for nothing when they go in.

Moreover, the city only said that they could pay money to enter the city, but they did not say that they would resettle the victims.

The patriarch didn't say these words explicitly, but the village chief understood them, and Cheng Dazhu's family also understood them; Anyone who has a little brain understands it, but those who survive the luck don't think so much.

"If you can buy a little bit, maybe you can buy it all."

"The patriarch quickly let people go in to buy food, what if it's too late to go and run out of food; With so many people gathered here, who knows if they sent people into the city to buy food."

"Whatever the quarrel, shut up and let the patriarch and the village chief discuss."

"What's wrong with our quarrel? We can't even open the pot at home, and we'll all starve to death if we don't have food."

"Okay, one person doesn't say a word, let's wait for the patriarch and the village chief to decide; They have seen more than us, so let's listen and everyone should be calm, and we can't fight among ourselves."

An old man opened his mouth, and the others calmed down, even if they didn't like each other when they quarreled, they didn't say much; Just stared at the patriarch and the village chief, waiting for them to speak.

The patriarch and the village chief discussed head-to-head for a while, but they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

The two glanced at each other and turned their heads to find Cheng Yuanxi.

Cheng Yuanxi was talking to his daughter and son, but he didn't see the two of them coming over at all, but Mingyi still caught a glimpse of them.

"Dad, the patriarch and the village chief are here."

Cheng Yuanxi looked back after hearing this, and really saw the patriarch and the village chief coming together, and when they looked at him, he knew that they were looking for him; Stop talking to your children and get up to greet them.

"Patriarch, village chief, why did you two come here?"

"We came to you to discuss the matter of going into the city to sell grain, and it costs one or two pieces of silver to enter the city, and this matter is troublesome; Many families in the clan can't afford to pay a silver or two to enter the city, let alone a large number of people, so it is impossible to go from the city, so they can only buy food and make a detour from the mountains."

"Nowadays, you may not be able to buy food when you go to the city, and if you can't buy food, won't the cost of entering the city be in vain!"
