Chapter 49: Discussing countermeasures
After walking for a long time, the surrounding forests became denser and denser, and Mu Rufeng stopped.
Ask a few men to cut down the weeds around and build a bonfire.
That's what fished everyone out of the darkness.
Everyone was panting, only Mu Rufeng looked at everyone, "Let's see if anyone has fallen in their own house." ”
After receiving a full reply, Mu Rufeng breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out all the remaining handfuls of beef jerky and divided them among the women of the Zhang family, but his was spicy, and there were three or four younger children, so they couldn't eat spicy.
"Brother, give mine to my younger brothers and sisters." Wen Ya took the initiative to hand her beef jerky without chili peppers to Mu Rufeng.
"What about you?"
"Xiaoya can eat with me." Mu Bai bared his teeth and grinned.
Mu Rufeng looked at the two little guys with a gentle face, anyway, they were all in Licheng, and they should be able to get food by trying to find a way, so he took over the gentle food.
The woman and child of the Zhang family immediately gnawed.
They still had some food and a few bedding, but the food was robbed by the officers and soldiers, and the bedding was turned into a mess, and those who could use it were taken away, and those who could not use it were directly burned.
For this reason, Zhang's third daughter-in-law pounced on her to make a fight, and was beaten several times.
Mu Zhen sighed: "Zhang family, don't worry too much, who said that you have to go to the battlefield...... Ahem, maybe, in two years, the men of the Zhang family will return with illustrious fame. ”
At the moment, I can only comfort myself with this reason, but everyone knows that the war is cruel, and it is unlikely that he will come back alive.
Everyone stared at the bonfire in front of them, their eyes a little glazed.
Suddenly, Li Yueyue screamed, attracting everyone's attention.
"Blood ......" Li Yueyue looked at the blood on her hands.
Just now she felt that her lips were hot, and when she raised her hand to wipe it, it was actually blood on her hand!
The small half of his face was also stained with blood, and he looked a little oozing.
Liu Baozhen panicked: "Yueyue, what's wrong with you?" Let my mother take a look. ”
"I blame you!" Li Yueyue slapped Liu Baozhen's hand away.
It must have been that her mother's hand was too heavy just now, she pouted her mouth again and looked at Mu Rufeng, "Brother Rufeng~ Help me......"
"It's just a nosebleed, and you can't die." Mu Rufeng turned his head, not wanting to see the pitiful appearance.
Mu Bai rolled his eyes and ran up, "Sister Yueyue, don't be afraid, Xiaobai used to have nosebleeds, you see, he is still alive and well." ”
The implication is that this kind of small injury really can't die.
Li Yueyue's face was a little stiff, "I don't know if it's not nutritious, it's better to let the doctor take a look." ”
Mu Bai scratched his little head and said innocently: "That's right, but everyone eats the same, Sister Yueyue, why are you not nutritious alone?" ”
"Puff~" Wen Wan, who has always prided herself on being calm, couldn't help laughing, this little guy has eight hundred hearts and eyes!
I really don't know if he did it on purpose.
Li Yueyue glared at Wen Wan viciously, and smiled awkwardly at Mu Bai, "Sister, didn't I hurt my hand the day before yesterday and bleed too much." ”
Special circumstances, need to be considerate.
"That's pathetic." Mu Bai drooped his eyebrows, with a sympathetic expression, "It's almost time for Sister Wen's injury a few days ago." ”
Catch up...... The implication is that she Li Yueyue is not as good as that woman?
Li Yueyue gritted her back molars and maintained an ugly smile. If he is not Brother Rufeng's favorite brother, see if she can take him away!
Mu Bai was very understanding and said: "The girl is delicate, and she still has to look at the nosebleeds." However, my eldest brother is not a doctor, Sister Yueyue, you should call my grandfather to show you. ”
Liu Baozhen didn't know her daughter's thoughts, she hurriedly echoed: "That is, with the village chief here, what do you care?" ”
Li Yueyue's face turned from stiff to iron-blue, her nosebleed was still flowing, and she couldn't care about Na Sanduo, "Grandpa Mu, help me take a look." ”
Mu Zhen was ignored and a little unhappy, but he still took her pulse, "You are caused by excessive anger, and it is not a big deal." Get some cold water and pat the back of your neck to stop it. ”
Liu Baozhen hurriedly poured water out of the bamboo tube and slapped it vigorously on the back of Li Yueyue's neck.
"Mother, tap, am I your own?"
Mu Rufeng didn't seem to hear of this scene, looked at Zhang Dajiang's daughter-in-law Zhou, and began to talk about business.
"Sister-in-law, do you know when Li Cheng started to arrest Zhuang Ding?"
"I've heard that's all it takes." The women of the Zhang family had a full stomach and calmed down.
Mu Rufeng looked at Mu Bai and Mu Zhen, if it weren't for the fact that there were still children in the family, he would have wanted to join the army, but right now, leading everyone to find a way to live is the most important thing.
"Most of us have women and children, and if there are no men, I'm afraid everyone will have a hard time. We can't pass through Licheng, we have to take a detour. ”
Li Dahu nodded and said, "It can only be like this." ”
"Let's take a detour from the south of Licheng, and according to my observation, it may take four or five more days." Mu Rufeng frowned.
They came out of the pear blossom recess, walked for a total of eight days, and then went around for four or five days before they could get out of Licheng.
It's a desperate feeling.
At the moment, there is no other way but to go into the city and make reserves.
But men are not allowed to go into the city, and in a year of famine, they ask women to buy food, and if they meet someone with evil intentions, they will be in trouble.
Everyone was worried, and a gentle and crisp voice sounded: "I'll go buy food." ”
Seeing that everyone had seen it, Wen Wan said again: "Tomorrow, I will go to the city to inquire about the situation and buy food by the way." ”
She needs to stock up on some things, and she also has to use Tang Li's jade pendant as a pawn.
Mu Rufeng glanced at her, thoughtful, indeed, there is no more suitable person than Miss Wen.
Li Dahu was a little worried, "Miss Wen, can you do it alone?" ”
She is so beautiful, not much safer than a man.
"Absolutely." Wen Wan did not hesitate.
It's easy to do things alone.
Over there, Liu Baozhen heard that everyone handed over the matter of buying grain to Wen Wan, and snorted: "Miss Wen, this year, buying food for dozens of people at a time is not a small amount. You went, can you come back? ”
Her expression was intriguing, and even when someone reacted, they all looked at Wen Wan.
Wen Wan said lightly: "Why can't you come back?" ”
Liu Baozhen: ......
She doesn't care if she can come back, what she cares about is, whether she will come back? Or, will they run away with the money?
"This year is no longer than ever, this is not a small amount to buy food. I don't feel at ease when the hard-earned money that the big guy has saved is handed over to an outsider who doesn't know the details. ”
"Yes." Zhou Kaixiang, who had not spoken, took the initiative to stand up, and everyone's eyes fell on him.
Zhou Kaixiang realized that Fang Cai's words were a little inappropriate, and hurriedly explained: "Miss Wen, I don't doubt you, I'm just afraid that Licheng will be turbulent, in case you encounter danger, what should I do?" ”
There are five people in the Zhou family, one father is only in his forties, Zhou Kaixiang is a few years older than Mu Rufeng, with a daughter-in-law and two children.
Along the way, his family didn't talk much, so much so that Wen Wan couldn't call him by name until now.
Still, that sounds acceptable.
"Second Aunt Li is responsible for everyone's food, and tomorrow Second Aunt and I will go to the city to buy food." Wen Wan glanced at everyone.
Second Aunt Li immediately nodded, "Cheng, those gadgets from before are still with me, we can take them by the way." ”
