Chapter 172: Meet Other Villages
"Why can't you go west?"
Hearing Lizheng's words, the people in the village looked at him suspiciously.
You can't go to the west, what's going on?
Li Zheng stopped talking and sighed again.
Before the earthquake, many people died in the entire village of Yongshan Village, to be precise, except for those who surrounded them, there were few people alive.
This area was the most affected by the earthquake, not only was there a deep crack in the ground, but stones rolled down from a mountain to the west, blocking the road that Zhaojia Village was supposed to take.
Then the groundwater gushed out, causing the water level to rise everywhere, and some of the places that were once banks became rivers.
Looking at a few people in the village to study more on the map, it can't be done here, it can't be walked there, and the final meaning is to take the waterway.
If it's a waterway, follow the river a little north. The river will change direction and enter the southwest. That way, they can also shorten the time it takes to reach their destination.
It's a win-win.
"So, we can only go north, and we may need to cross the river?"
"Is there a dock around here?"
The people of the village gathered around again, looking for the location of the pier on the map.
Finally, a few miles ahead of the neighborhood, I found a pier called "Ferry Wind Mouth".
"Or, let's go on a boat!"
After discussing with each other, the people in the village decided to try their luck at the dock first.
"But is the dock still usable?"
Ye Sang remembered the Chu State ships that were parked nearby.
Since the army of the Chu State is in this vicinity, will there be other armies around it?
If you meet the army, Zhaojiacun will definitely die.
"The crossing is a big pier, so there shouldn't be a problem."
Murong Yanxi pointed to the map to show Ye Sang, and then pointed to the location at the end of the river crossing the wind mouth - the capital.
Ye Sang glanced at the map.
The river meanders and has several docks where people and goods can be transported.
Somewhat similar to a modern train station, nothing more than water transport.
"Since there is a waterway to go and you go to the capital, why do you want to follow us to escape the famine?"
Ye Sang reacted and looked at Murong Yanxi suspiciously.
"Iā"
Murong Yanxi didn't expect Ye Sang to ask this question, and smiled slightly awkwardly.
When his retinue Ah Lie saw this scene, he leaned into Ye Sang's ear and whispered, "Our son is afraid of water!" Also seasick. ā
"Afraid of water?"
Ye Sang knew that some people were afraid of heights, and he also knew that some people were afraid of deep wells. But for the first time in a long time, I have met someone who is afraid of water.
Ah Lie sighed and continued to explain to Ye Sang.
"When my son was a child, he fell into the water with someone, and one companion died in the water, and another companion injured his arm in the water."
"Oh."
Ye Sang nodded thoughtfully.
No wonder, one friend died in the water, another companion was injured, resting who is not afraid of water.
"Then I'll prescribe some medicine for your son at that time, so that he can rest on the ship for a few days." After Ye Sang finished speaking, he went back to help the second room of the Zhao family pack up his things.
You can't cook on the boat, and every family starts to cook cakes and steamed buns again.
Some people also boiled a few pieces of bacon that they had hoarded before, chopped them into pieces, and put them in steamed buns together.
Li also made a lot of steamed buns in this way, and seeing that it was still early, he soaked a few wild vegetable dumplings and chopped them into meat, and wrapped them into vegetable buns.
After doing this, it was already dark, and everyone went to bed early. Before dawn the next day, the whole village set out.
Along the way, Li Zheng and the others were not idle, studying the map as they walked.
"If you go to the dock to take a boat, you probably won't be able to take the cart with you, right?"
The pier is manned, and it is generally not allowed to go up with a small cart.
What's more, there are some families in Zhaojia Village who have two small carts per household, and it is unlikely that they will all be taken away.
"Then what will we do if we get off the boat and don't have a cart?"
There was a lot of discussion, and suddenly some families didn't want to go on the boat.
"Although it is difficult to walk on the mountain road, you can definitely walk through it if you spend one!"
As soon as the man finished saying this, he was hit with a brain melon.
"A month! Let's not talk about enough food? Let's go this way, and we will only arrive at our destination after the New Year! Are you planning to miss the beginning of spring? ā
When everyone heard this, no one dared to say more.
For rural people who do their duty, spring is hope, and it is a good season for sowing all kinds of vegetables and plants.
Even if it is a fruit tree cutting, it must be taken advantage of the spring.
If it is past spring, the harvest of what they sow again will be so bad that they will not be able to feed themselves at all.
By that time, will they still be fleeing the famine?
"Cheer me up, get over there! We are very close to our destination! ā
Li was cheering on the people in the village, humming a little tune in his mouth, and the speed was obviously much faster than usual.
The speed is fast, and the people in the village are afraid that the children and the old people will not be able to walk, or will be tired.
Qualified people have already let their children and the elderly sit on the small cart, and then add a rope in front of the small cart for the strong person to pull.
The second room of the Zhao family also let the three children get on the small cart, and Ye Sang was about to pull it, but he was driven aside by the Li family.
"You're too little and too slow."
Li said.
She was actually afraid of tired Ye Sang and didn't want Ye Sang to do this kind of tiring work.
Zhao Fu also asked the old man and his wife to sit on a small cart, Zhao Fang pushed the cart, and Zhao Fu went to pull it.
Wang Cuihua's house is scattered.
Honghong had a big belly and had to sit on a small cart. Sun Yueniang was already on the cart, how could she give it to Honghong.
Wang Cuihua looked at Zhao Lili with a sad face, almost pleading.
Zhao Lili didn't even look at it, he walked proudly in front with a few burdens on his back, chatting with a few men in the village.
"Zhao Ying is really not a thing, I don't have a sister like her!"
Zhao Lili said, glancing at a few burdens on his body with disgust.
If Zhao Ying is still there and marries Zhao Ersha, these things should be Zhao Ersha's!
What does it have to do with him......
Thinking of this, Zhao Lili's eyes slowly looked at Zhao Ersha.
There are so many people in their family, shouldn't they come and help his family do some work?
Zhao Lili followed his gaze and actually saw Zhao Ersha standing in front of Zhao Fang, helping her take over the small cart, and the two were talking happily.
What does this Zhao Ersha mean?
As soon as his fourth sister Zhao Ying disappeared, Zhao Ersha went to hook up with his third sister Zhao Fang?
Zhao Lili turned around, walked in front of Wang Cuihua, and pointed to that scene to show Wang Cuihua.
"Mother, isn't Zhao Ersha's eight characters in our house? He and Zhao Ying have seen each other's eight characters, even if he is half a son-in-law of our family, he should help our family work? ā
Wang Cuihua: There seems to be some truth in her son's words?
"Powerful, let's go find Zhao Ying at night."
After Wang Cuihua finished speaking, she suddenly felt that her back was straightened a little.
As long as Zhao Ying can be retrieved, this half of the son-in-law will become a real son-in-law.
Someone will do all the work in their house.
"Mother, can we still find Zhao Ying?"
Zhao Lili looked at Wang Cuihua with some doubts, Zhao Ying ran away, can she come back?
