"We can't go north of Liangzhou, where we are located, it will be the first place for people who flee the famine, after all, in the same state, no need to trek through mountains and rivers is the first choice for all people who flee the famine."

Ripple analyzed it very carefully.

Naturally, there is the news provided by Shi Jiu, and there are also ripples who went to the bookstore to stare at the cannibalistic gaze of the store owner and checked the map of Daqian before he came to a conclusion.

"And where are we going, according to your wishes?"

"Go to Huangzhou."

Ripple said directly.

"But I heard that it is close to the border, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is not fertile."

Song Dachuan opened his mouth and said, these news are all passed on by word of mouth, and when the men get together to brag, they will say something that their companions don't know, so Song Dachuan has heard people talk about it.

"It is precisely because the land is vast and sparsely populated, so there is a shortage of people, so we can go to settle down and divide more land."

Ripple continued to flicker.

"But there will be wars at the border gates, and I heard that dead people are common."

"The border pass is guarded by General Changda, it is not so easy to be breached, and we are going to Huangzhou, not directly settled in the border pass, Huangzhou can be two Liangzhou big!"

"This matter is not a trivial matter, we still have to investigate it carefully."

The patriarch of the Zhang family was obviously a little tempted, but after all, it was related to the lives of the family, so he had to be cautious.

"Boss, you take Shi (Zhang Shi) and Dachuan to the county tomorrow to inquire about the situation in the county, and it would be better if you could buy some food."

"Okay, Dad!"

All three should be down.

"Go back and talk to your daughters-in-law about this, and you will discuss it with each other."

Old man Zhang finally made a concluding speech.

"Yes, Dad."

When Song Dachuan's family returned to their house, Huzi put his arms around Ripple's neck and asked quietly:

"Sister, are we going to get out of here?"

"Well, we might have to get out of here for a while to survive."

"Will you be back?"

"I don't know."

"Okay!"

"Huzi is reluctant to be here?"

"No, I went to a new place, and Huzi can meet new partners."

Huzi whispered.

Because of physical reasons, Huzi has basically never left home since he was a child, he was not in good health before the age of three, he basically grew up in Hui Niang's arms, and after the age of three he was in the arms of Ripples, and he was stronger this year, but in order to avoid getting sick, and because Hui Niang was not at ease, Huzi basically had no playmates of the same age.

"Huzi, don't mess with your sister, I'll take you to wipe your face, let's rest early, your father still has something to discuss with your sister."

Hui Niang went to the bedroom with Huzi in her arms, and Song Dachuan was also discussing the next thing with Ripples.

"Tomorrow I will go to the county with your uncle and uncle to see the situation, if the situation is really so bad, the family will be ready, I estimate that after autumn, the food of each family should bottom out, without food will starve to death, and those who are hungry are terrible."

Song Dachuan said in a low voice.

"My father and I mean the same thing, if my grandfather's family doesn't go with us, we will also set off alone, but before that, my father has to go to Songjia Village."

Ripple continued.

"What are you going to do in Songjia Village?"

"Borrow grain, and if you can't borrow it, tell them we're going to escape the famine."

Ripple said calmly.

Song Dachuan is not a fool, he understands it after a little thought.

Now to borrow grain, even if the old Song family has it, they will not lend it to them, they can't borrow food, in order to survive, they will naturally go to escape the famine, the old Song family will not entangle with them, and wish they were as far away as possible, but it is convenient for them to move, after all, their family has a lot of food.

After discussing what to do next, Song Dachuan also rested early.

The next day, after seeing Song Dachuan leave, Ripple went up to Wankou Mountain again on the pretext of going up the mountain to find food.

There is basically no green anything on the periphery of Wankou Mountain, and there are groups of women with their children walking inside, hoping to dig up food to satisfy their hunger.

Fortunately, it is almost autumn, many things in the mountains and forests have already hung fruit, although they are not yet ripe, but they can finally satisfy hunger, these things are also rapidly decreasing, ripples can only go deeper, pick a basket of dandelions, and hurried down the mountain.

It was not until the sun set that the Zhang brothers and Song Dachuan returned to Zhangjia Village, but the faces of the three were not very good, the clothes on their bodies were torn, and there were injuries on their faces.

"Dad, you're hurt!"

Hui Niang exclaimed, and her eyes immediately turned red.

Ripple also frowned, and said:

"Dad, have you encountered the victims?"

"Well, I originally bought half a bag of grain in Yongfeng County, but I was robbed halfway, if I hadn't seen the situation right, I picked up a stick and broke up the people who surrounded me, and the three of us almost couldn't get out."

Song Dachuan said with palpitations.

Although there is no harvest in the field now, he listened to Ripple's words and saved a lot of grain before the New Year, so the family's food and drink can still be supplied, especially as a strong laborer, Hui Niang and Ripple would rather eat less than let him starve.

Just to not be too eye-catching, Song Dachuan will blacken his face every time he goes out, looking very thin, in fact, because he is full of food, his strength is not small, this time it is all up to him, and the three of them can come back with all beards and tails.

"Is it already so serious in the county?"

Ripple asked with a frown.

"Well, Yongfeng County has closed the city gate and not allowed the victims to enter, because we are a village under the jurisdiction of Yongfeng County, there has been no major incident, so we are allowed to enter the city.

The situation in the county is not good, the roads are full of beggars, the doors of large families are closed, there are few pedestrians on the roads, but there is no influx of victims, and it is safe for the time being.

The only open grain shop also had a long queue, we queued for a long time, and only bought half a bag of grain mixed with sand, but when we left the county seat, we were rushed up and robbed by the victims before we reached Wangshan Town.

Your brother-in-law was not convinced, and he wanted to snatch it back, so he would be besieged by those hungry and green-eyed victims, so I could only grab a stick and rush up, scatter the people, and then escape. ”

Hui Niang was distressed, and had already brought over the warm brown rice porridge and wowotou, as well as a plate of fried dandelions, which were dug back from Wankou Mountain by Ripples during the day.

Song Dachuan didn't say much, and ate the dinner left for him in three or two bites, and then wiped his mouth and said:

"It's not good now, so if you're ready, we'll leave a day earlier."

"Got it, Huzi and his father, let's ask my father about his plans tomorrow."

Hui Niang still wants to go with her mother's family, after all, she has four younger brothers, and it is safer to have more men.

"I know, I must have asked my father, and I am also going to go to Songjia Village, and they will bite us everywhere."

Hui Niang didn't know why, but she still nodded, and just heard the sound of Huzi calling her mother from the bedroom, so she immediately turned around and entered the bedroom.

"Dad, I entered the bowl today, and I had an unexpected harvest."

Treasures, see you tomorrow~
