284. The light of hope
Then, for a few days, under the instruction of the child's father, Qi had to cook a lot of food every day to let the child's father enter the space.
Three days later, Hua Chengtian took Hua Yunao and three nephews out of the valley with the three big black, two, gray and three yellow in the hands of his father and daughter.
It is said that in order to go out of Guhua with their uncle, the sons of the eldest aunt and the second aunt also competed for a place for this, and in the end, Zeng Li and Zeng Jin, Liu Rong, and the three brothers won.
It is a few of their brothers who have a slightly higher force value and have a talent for practice, and they are also more honest.
Aunt Hua's eldest Zeng Yi and fourth Zeng Xiao, and Liu Guang and Liu Ming of the second aunt's family are relatively more clever, which is also the reason why Hua Hua Chengtian is willing to take her three children with her.
He has secrets in him, so it's better to be honest.
At the same time, he went out to find salt and did not hide it from the villagers, knowing that he was going to be a big guy on this trip, several people who had a good relationship with him immediately said that they wanted to follow, but they were excused by Hua Chengtian on the pretext of protecting the village and taking care of the fields.
In fact, it is true, a huge valley, different from the cave they stayed in before, although it is not deep in the mountains, but it is close, although the safety that can be thought of before has been done, and there are people patrolling the valley every day, this is not the busiest time, but since the food is planted, someone still needs to take care of it, and there are patrolling the mountains, so they really don't have many people.
And this is to find salt, whether to find it or not is still a problem, there is really no need for so many people.
Safety Hua Chengtian is still very confident, there are three major ones who can be found in advance even if there is danger, they are not powerless people, they also carry weapons, and they can always go up the tree or run in bad times.
When Hua Chengtian searched in the mountains, he felt that the earth had been solidified, and the people who were hiding in the mountains to make a living gradually came out.
After experiencing despair, people now have a light called hope in their eyes, and they are moving step by step in the direction of their former home.
A year and a half has not left much to sharpen everyone's spirits, and almost all the people on land are skinny and ragged.
Of course, there are families and villages that are slightly better protected, and at least they have more hope for the future, and they all want to return to their homes as soon as possible.
Although they also know that there is nothing to greet them, they are still there, as long as there are hands, there are seeds, as long as they do not starve, their homes can be rebuilt.
And these are just ordinary people, and the impact of the disaster on the nobles and wealthy merchants of the world is not too great, especially if they are well prepared.
Although the environment in the mountains is very poor, at least it is no problem to have a full stomach, there are guards and weapons, even if the victims are hungry and red-eyed, under absolute force, they can only deliver food.
After the disaster, this group of people is the first to go down the mountain, and being rich and powerful does not mean being stupid, on the contrary, this kind of people are more intelligent.
Those who know what is beneficial to themselves are now full of hungry and red-eyed people, and if they step on the same land at the same time with these evil people, it will be unpredictable to face them.
So when they found out that the ground could bear the weight of people, they almost all went down the mountain with all the supplies as soon as possible, and even after going down the mountain, they avoided the crazy people from a distance.
Of course, there are also conceited, and these have all become the objects of coveting by others, looking at these ruddy and arrogant people, especially the bags of food in the team behind them, so that the people who are already on the verge of collapse suddenly rise in the hearts of the rich, almost without being instigated by others, they rush over, even if they may face death.
The conceited end is that the family is ruined, the better ones barely saved a life, and the bad ones even have this life dragged away and gnawed and there are no bones left.
As for the poor, there is only one life left, but no one covets it, and more just want to return to their homeland.
Qin Shu's family walked in the direction of home with difficulty.
Seeing that when someone on the mountain was walking down, the Qin family also slipped down the mountain together, thinking that it would be safer if there were more people.
Obviously, it was only a five-mile walk from the village where their home was located, and they had to walk for nearly three hours to arrive.
Not the first to arrive nor the last to arrive, when I arrived in the village, I found that there were still people alive in Shangqin Village, and I should have greeted the familiar people in the past, but the experience of this year and a half made everyone just watch each other guard from a distance and then find their own house.
The village has completely lost its former appearance, full of mud, ruins and broken walls, and from time to time you can see all kinds of bones, people, livestock, poultry, most of them are incomplete, they have rotted and are not in shape, and some even have only dry bones left.
Including the youngest Qin Ming, he only glanced at it, and these could not arouse any fear at all, and these could be seen almost everywhere in the mountains.
Only Qin Shu frowned, looking at the corpse exposed on the ground, shocked.
"Dad, it's better to bury those as soon as possible."
"You're right, when we clean up our house, we'll put the corpses away."
Qin Dagen was old, and as soon as his son opened his mouth, he understood what he meant, although the corpse had almost decomposed after more than a year, he couldn't take it lightly.
Looking at the once lively village now only the ruins and broken walls, the mood of the people who came back sank to the bottom.
Although Qin Shu's house is a little later, it is not the last, and the house can be counted in the entire Shangqin Village, it is a half-brick house, in fact, if it is not for a scholar, the conditions should be better, and it is not impossible to build it into all bricks.
Even if there were houses on the left and right sides of the house, the ridges of the houses collapsed under the wash, but fortunately, the foundation of the whole house did not change, the walls were still there, and the others were buried in the deep mud.
Although he had expected it a long time ago, seeing that his home had become like this, the Li family and the two little ones couldn't help but wipe their tears, and Qin Dagen was also very uncomfortable with his daughter-in-law in his arms.
The whole village was filled with an oppressive atmosphere, and faint cries were heard from time to time.
This sudden catastrophe left them with nothing.
Qin Shu stood stunned for a moment, then put down the package on his back without saying a word, took out their family's hero hoe from the basket on the side, and began to clean up the debris on the mud with a shovel.
What was left behind after the flood receded was a thick layer of silt, the terrain was obviously much higher than before, and it was impossible for the whole village to be cleaned up by a few people like them, and Qin Shu was not ready to clean it all out, but just dug out the debris in the silt, maybe some of it could still be used, and then reorganized.
The couple watched their eldest son work in a daze, and then Qin Dagen patted his daughter-in-law, silently picked up the shovel on the side and started to do it, then the Li family, then Qin Lu, Qin Ming, and the family silently cleaned up the dilapidated home without saying a word.
Looking at the family who turned grief into strength, the corners of Qin Shu's mouth, who were trying to dig things, rose slightly.
