Chapter 2 Completely out of water, restless!
Hey, Ye Lianzhi was stunned when he made eye contact with his parents, and his younger brother.
It turns out that the ancient people were not all obedient types, and they also thought about it, but they were afraid of telling others about the leakage, and they needed to prepare dry food to escape the famine.
Wang Dahua and Ye Mutong glanced at each other, and one of them held down the arm of a child with one hand to prevent them from saying anything in response, and Ye Mutong asked rhetorically, "What does the second family mean?" ”
"I went to the second brother's house and asked, they didn't leave, they didn't die, but they promised that they would never say it." The third aunt was obviously skeptical in her tone.
Ye Lianzhi pursed his lips and bit the dried dead skin on his mouth.
In ancient times, escaping from famine was generally not terrible, but there was a lack of food and clothing, and they would go to the destination arranged by the government to escape from the famine according to the government's edict.
There is a route, the destination has a reception, and it is generally the principle of proximity, so as long as you survive a short period of time, at most you will be hungry for ten days and half a month, and people will still be human at that time.
However, the current situation is very unusual, there have been more than two years of famine, and the disasters are varied, and the imperial court has nothing else except the initial wait for the edict.
Not to mention help.
I think that the imperial court is also lacking in skills, and the rumors of war are more true than false.
The water used in the village today is also the last old well to be pumped a little, and the village chief distributes it to each family, from one bucket a day at the beginning, to one bowl a day now, and no water has been delivered today.
If you don't leave, you will die now.
After some time, cannibalism will not be uncommon, and when people are no longer human, it will be too late, so it is necessary to escape the famine.
In the memories of the four members of the Ye family, the third uncle of the Ye family is very assertive, loyal, trustworthy, and can take care of them all the way, but the second family is timid and afraid, and they are easy to manage on the road together, but they are also easy to sell.
Whether it was Ye Lianzhi, Ye Yaozu, Wang Dahua or Ye Muke, they were not very reluctant.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, you think about it first, I'll go back and wait for your news, if you want to leave, let's leave tomorrow night, what I told the second brother is the night after tomorrow, in order to prevent ......"
seemed to see that the family wanted to discuss, and Aunt Ye San'er walked out quickly after speaking.
Ye Lianzhi wanted to be pressed down and sitting, the door of the hall opened, the courtyard door opened and closed, the third aunt left completely, Ye Lianzhi hurriedly looked at his parents and younger brother, "I can't go, the tree moves the dead and the people live, I want to go." ”
The earth was so big, she didn't believe there was no place to live.
"I listen to my sister, I will go wherever my sister goes, and we have space, God specially sent us here just to make us wait for death."
Ye Yaozu is looking forward to it, escaping from the wilderness, it sounds so powerful, so exciting, he likes it!
Ye Mutong and Wang Dahua knew what he was thinking as soon as they saw this heartless son, the two rolled their eyes, and Wang Dahua thought for a moment before answering.
"Of course we have to go, but we are old, weak, young and stupid, your third uncle's family is even weaker, I am afraid that this road is dangerous, let's prepare more, and Mr. Barrel will go to find out how long the water in the village can last, we have to save a little to drink on the way, squeak, you go and tell the third aunt now that we will go with them."
After Wang Dahua finished arranging, Ye Lianzhi hurriedly took action.
Ye Mushu got up and walked out, while complaining weakly, "Although, but, Ms. Big Flower, don't call me Muke." ”
Hahaha, the family grinned and watched the two leave silently.
"Yaozu, you are also quite Guangzong, get up quickly and pack up the stored dry food and luggage with your mother, smile like a second fool, hurry up."
Wang Dahua slapped Ye Yaozu's buttocks, restrained her smile, and was full of sorrow.
"Mother, I'll follow my sister to take a look, anyway, there are not many dry food, you just need to prepare." Ye Yaozu was beaten and pouted, and the person walked out.
When Ye Lianzhi was caught up, he had already arrived in the middle of the village, and several villagers were holding bowls and coming out from the direction of the village chief's house, all of them dejected, their faces like ashes.
Without waiting for the two to ask a few questions, one of them angrily smashed the bowl and cried, "What can I do, there is no water in the village, and I will starve to death if I can't last three days." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lao Erye, who was in the room in front of him, staggered out, his gray eyes looked at the sky and shed tears, and his hands like dead bark pulled on the wooden door frame and burst into tears.
"I'm starving, I'm starving, what are you leaving me for, God, open your eyes and look at this world, this is still the way of human life!"
"Now that there is not only half of the population left in the family or the whole family is dead, if you want me to say, we all have to run and go to the official mansion of Ta Laoshizi, they don't care if we live or not, we don't care if they die or not...... Mother, what are you doing covering my mouth? ”
"Without the guidance of the government, we can't run, where can we go, and if we escape, it's a death to escape, even if we escape, without the government's arrangement, where can we go? I've been here for generations, I don't want to leave, maybe it will rain tomorrow! ”
……
opened the mouth, and everyone's tense and suppressed emotions could no longer be held back, and they all began to cry bitterly, and suddenly there was a mourning.
Ye Lianzhi and Ye Yaozu glanced at each other, panicking in their hearts, they were pampered and grew up in modern times, and they fought wits and courage every day thinking about how to avoid the beating of the poor test and how to eat some junk food under the noses of their parents.
Think about it, if it was your own family who died, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to laugh in this life.
The two of them were even more determined to escape the famine, so they walked through everyone and went straight to the third aunt's house, bringing the news to the third aunt so that they could set off.
After bringing the news, they came out and met Ye Mudao on the main road, the three of them walked together, and hurriedly walked home, Wang Dahua at home was waiting in a hurry, and kept looking at the door.
He was pushed by his children into the door, and when he arrived in the back room, the leaf barrel spoke.
"The village chief's house really can't get water, and more than one family went to tell the village chief to secretly flee and leave, I think the village chief also has the intention of wavering, should we follow the big army, there are many people safe."
"The third aunt's family also said the same, the disaster is the whole Dongchuan, there are too many victims, there are other villages in addition to the government that escaped, it is difficult to burn and loot alone, and it is indeed safe to have a large number of people, so let's take a look tomorrow, if the village chief says to go together tomorrow, let's wait to go together, otherwise we will go by ourselves, in short, we can't wait to die."
Ye Lianzhi also conveyed his opinion, and Ye Yaozu echoed it.
"I listened to my sister, what my sister said must be right, and let's squat until the early hours of the morning, look at my sister's space, ponder and think about it, and I have a confidence in my heart, sister, you must remember the faucet, and bring food out as quickly as possible."
The four exchanged glances and nodded in agreement, and at the same time, four cooing sounds sounded, and the four of them collapsed back on the bed and lay down in tacitly.
It's a hard time to be hungry!
Four lamentations in unison, Wang Dahua closed her eyes, "Sleep, it's early in the morning when you sleep, and you won't be hungry when you fall asleep." ”
The others didn't answer, just closed their eyes and tried to fall asleep, now it's only evening, and after sleeping for about three hours, it was just early in the morning, and soon only the sound of even breathing remained.
Three hours later.
