Chapter 38: I had to fight to the death.
Shen Yunxi could also feel the damp water and soil, and she was lucky.
Sometimes, when digging wild vegetables, the running rabbit will hit the tree and pass out.
Shen Yunxi picked up a rabbit weighing four or five kilograms.
Shen Yunxi took out a complete rabbit skin, was reluctant to throw it away, wiped it clean, propped it up with branches, and dried it.
In winter, this rabbit skin can be used to make a rabbit skin vest for a child.
Sometimes, Shen Yunxi can catch small fish and shrimp by the creek to improve the children's food.
After Shen Yunxi's careful care and feeding, they finally had enough to eat, and the four children had a little more meat on their faces.
Shen Yunxi not only fed several children, but also took a comb to comb Tian Xiuli and Tian Xiuzhu's hair when he was resting. It's beautiful and lively.
Within a few days, several children got closer to Shen Yunxi, talking and laughing.
Shen Yunxi also began to adapt to his current life. It's very difficult, but it's also challenging. The relationship between the children and Shen Yunxi is getting better and better.
Tamura chief led the villagers along the official road, and finally reached the Qingmei River after 7 days.
Around the Ome River, there are a lot of people. People are noisy and crowded.
Shen Yunxi looked at the dense human heads in the distance, and felt very uncomfortable.
Chief Tian came to inquire, and Shen Yunxi hurriedly asked, "Chief Tian Village, what's the matter?" ”
Tamura Chief frowned and said angrily, "This is the Qingmei River. Here we will take a boat to the south. In the past, as long as it was indicated that it was a nation fleeing famine, a person could get on a boat for a penny. Sometimes, if we don't have money, we can ask for more and kowtow more.
But now one person asks for one tael of silver, and a dozen people in our family ask for more than ten taels of silver. Without silver, there is no ship. Where did I get so much silver? Now I don't know what to do? ”
Shen Yunxi was dumbfounded. She had only three taels of silver on her.
Tian Youqing did let people bring a lot of silver before, but it turned out that people generally had to take care of household affairs, and the children were also encouraged not to kiss her, so she ate and drank well, and did not save any silver at all.
Now for a family of five, only three taels of silver is not enough. Everything else is a pile of garbage and not worth much.
Yang Dacui's eyes were red and he kept wiping his tears. "Head of the family, can't you be cheaper?" Our silver is no more than ten taels. There are cows and ox carts, but they are too difficult to drive down the price. A cow costs only four taels of silver, but our ox is obviously worth more than ten taels of silver. ”
"I'm dying!" An old woman wailed: "There are bandits and traffickers who have taken a lot of people away. I think if we cross the river to the Qingmei River, we can live in the south. But now it's too expensive to take a boat to the south. God is going to starve us to death! ”
The old woman's voice was sad and tearful, touching the hearts of those around her.
Escaping famine, living outdoors, wandering from one place to another, getting sick and starving are common things. After all, there are very few people like the former Lihua Village who were organized to bring food to escape the famine. Many more were ragged and skinny, carrying tattered jars on the road.
Begging all the way, begging all the way, all kinds of suffering, can only be known by fleeing from famine.
Grief and pain are contagious, and men, women, young and old, are constantly wiping their tears. Don't let them cross the river. When they run out of food, they can't go back to their hometowns. What do they do next?
The twins felt the sad atmosphere and began to cry.
Tian Xiuli sobbed, looking desperate and confused.
Tian Daniu's eyes were red and he looked at the sky blankly.
Shen Yunxi was distressed. The lives of ordinary people are like grassroots, and they are really worthless.
There is no way out. Shen Yunxi didn't want to die, so he had to fight to the death in the end.
