From today onwards, on the way to escape the famine, I gradually encountered some homeless people who also looked at the vicissitudes of life and were unkempt.

Fortunately, the village is a big village, and the battle is very full, and these homeless people may have come out in groups of several families, at most seventy or eighty people.

There are thrilling hurries along the way, and some of the young and strong people in the village are basically defending on the periphery, letting the old and weak women and children walk inside, Huayan's family not only picked Hua Qingshan, but also Huayan went, this Huajing is not convinced, now he is a big child, and he already has the capital to protect others!

But Hua Yan persuaded Hua Jing in a few words, "Brother, my mother is weak, and she definitely can't push the car for a long time, and the eldest brother is in a wheelchair and can't help, so now you are the reserve army of the family!" ”

Hua Jing was encouraged by Hua Yan, and immediately said loudly: "Hua Jing will definitely live up to her mission and not let the eldest sister down!" ”

Hua Yan laughed out loud and patted Hua Jing's little head.

Boys are always very fast when they grow taller, and they may surpass themselves one day, so it is better to bully as soon as possible!

And Hua Dashan also followed behind Hua Qingshan, but Hua Qingshan didn't pay much attention to his brother.

Hua Dashan was happy, after all, if he was left in the inner circle, he would become a joke in the village, and he would have to push the dead luggage, listening to the old lady and daughter-in-law complaining and nagging each other, it would be better to walk outside, and the ears would be exceptionally clean!

It's just that along the way, because there are no trees, the sun is unscrupulously splashed on everyone's faces, Rao is Huayan feels that he has endless strength on weekdays, and now he feels short of breath.

The high-intensity rush exploited almost everyone's words, forming a silent marching army, and everyone's faith was in the distance where they didn't know where to stay.

Hua Yan quietly observed the village, and found that the potential of human beings is really unlimited, and the old woman who was slowly moving her steps in the team and trying not to fall behind others, and what made people look even more uncomfortable was the pregnant woman who was pregnant with Liujia, and she was moving forward with a big belly, and Hua Yan was in awe in her heart.

Finally, at noon, he found a shady place to rest, and the village chief asked the young and strong forces in the village to come out and have a discussion meeting.

The village chief, who finally took a break, took out a pipe, lit the tobacco, and said slowly.

"Everyone has also seen it, not only are we homeless, there are many homeless people in this area, and now we have three paths to choose from, one is the official road, this official road, can you pass it, but it all depends on the soft-hearted heart of the official, if the heart is soft-hearted, it may give us homeless people a way to live, let us go, hard-hearted, we will be turned away, and even the consequences will be more serious."

"I think that the people we are meeting just now are probably following the official road, after all, they are few and lonely, and it is more dangerous to choose other places."

"The second way is still the old forest, but in the last forest, we have experienced hunters here, as well as villagers who know the mountains and forests, and now we don't know the reality of this forest, so we can only take one step at a time."

"The third way is that we have to go around in a circle, and we will take the old official road, and it will be relatively flat, but I heard that there are strong people who rob families there, and it is not very peaceful."

"You are all the backbone of our village, so it's up to you to decide which way to go."

A middle-aged man took the lead and said, "Let's take the second way, after all, the last time we walked the forest, not only was it smooth, but everyone could drink water and eat meat normally, I think it's very good!" ”

The old hunter shook his head, "The situation is not so simple, we don't know how big the forest is, if we go in, we can't get around, when it snows, I'm afraid that they will all have to be explained in the forest, not to mention, if there are some fierce beasts and poisonous beasts in the forest, who knows if they will come out hungry and attack the villagers?" ”

The middle-aged man retorted unconvinced: "Didn't you say at the beginning that you were going to go to the forest?" In case we encounter the strongman who robs the house, aren't we even more at a loss? ”

Hua Qingshan suddenly said: "That's not true, even if the strongman is entrenched near the road, I'm afraid that there will not be a large number of people, otherwise it will not be able to meet daily needs, we are outnumbered, even if the strongman robs us, we must weigh our own weight." ”

"But those are all murderous without blinking, even if there are few people, we are really desperate, we are not people's opponents! If there were only one or two beasts attacking, we would still be able to deal with it. ”

The old hunter only felt that this person's brain was not good, "If you really encounter a wild beast, you will not take the initiative to attack the large army, but pick up the old, weak, sick and disabled in the team, do you think your doll is difficult to deal with?" I'm afraid that my throat will be bitten and I won't cry! When the time comes, will you ask the whole village to accompany you to find the doll? ”

The two sides had their own opinions and quarreled endlessly, and the village chief's cigarette pouch was almost smoked, and he shouted, "Shut up!" ”

The village chief still has some prestige in the village, and all eyes are on the village chief for a while.

"Everyone thinks that their ideas will be more suitable and better, so let's raise our hands and decide, the minority obeys the majority!"

In the first vote, everyone unanimously did not choose the official path, after all, there are too many displaced people now, and it is too risky to rely on a person's conscience.

When they arrived at the forest, there were six households who felt that the forest was better, but on the third road, there were eight families, and although there were not too many people between them, they still won.

The village chief sighed, "Then let's take the third way." ”

The face of the middle-aged man is a little unsightly, just now I obviously feel that there are still a lot of people who support him, how can he still lose? He looked at the village chief and muttered angrily, "If you choose the third way, you will choose the third way, but you have to promise us that there is no risk!" ”

The village chief was also angry, and scolded directly: "Bullshit promise!" I think you're in the water! Now everyone lives a day without a day, and they may not be able to guarantee it, who will vouch for you! ”

He looked around, "Today's words, I will put them here, I don't make decisions for any of the villagers, if you want to take the second way to earn a living, now go to the second way, there is no feast in the world, we can only pray that each other is safe and sound, but if you choose to walk the third way with us, don't complain in the future, life and death are rich and rich!" Before you die, you don't know what will happen the next day! ”
