"Dad, then you decide...... Leave with him? ”

"Let's go to Qingzhou City again."

With a decision, Village Chief Xu did not hesitate, and later, he slipped to the foot of the mountain and knocked on the courtyard door of the Gu family.

Hearing the movement, Xu Huaiyi walked out and greeted warmly, "Uncle Village Chief? Why are you here? Come in and sit ......."

Village Chief Xu stood outside the door and waved his hand, "No, I'll just leave after I say a few words." ”

"Something? You say......"

"I want to go to Qingzhou City again, if you have time, let's go together."

Xu Huaiyi thought for a while, then nodded in response, "Okay, it just so happened that Second Uncle Liu told me that the carriage is ready, if you go to Qingzhou, try to sit comfortably by the way." ”

"Tomorrow morning?"

"Listen to your ......"

Village Chief Xu hesitated for a moment, but still explained with a wry smile, "Huaiyi, don't blame your uncle for having a lot of things, uncle is old, he doesn't have the courage and courage of your young people, no matter what he does, he wants to be stable, after all, fleeing the famine and dying for a lifetime, unless it is a last resort, who wants to take that road?" There are dozens of people in the Xu family, I have to give them an explanation and make them convinced, otherwise, if they are reluctant to go, even if they are forced to go on the road, their hearts are not aligned, and it is easy to make trouble. ”

Xu Huaiyi nodded, with a look of understanding, "Uncle Village Chief, I understand that you are doing the right thing in your position and seeking your own government." ”

When Village Chief Xu heard this, Lao Huai was immediately relieved.

After he turned around and left, Xu Huaiyi went back to continue drinking tea with a calm expression, Gu Huanxi looked at his face, squinted his eyes and asked, "What did Village Chief Xu tell you?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said casually, "Let me accompany him to Qingzhou tomorrow." ”

Gu Huanxi couldn't help frowning, "You responded?" ”

Xu Huaiyi nodded, and subconsciously explained, "He's come to the door, I'm not good, I'm fine, I'll just go for a trip, I just haven't been to it before, and let's see what Qingzhou City is ......like."

The more he spoke, the more weak he became, and cautiously peeked at his daughter-in-law's face, and his voice became smaller and quieter, "What, let's go early, try to rush back on the same day, and try to try the comfort of our new carriage by the way." ”

Gu Huanxi looked at him expressionlessly, "What is the situation in Qingzhou now, you can guess it with your heels, and you still need to take a special look?" Are you so idle? ”

Xu Huaiyi's back spine suddenly cold, "Daughter-in-law, I ......"

Gu Huanxi glared, "You still have to quibble?" ”

Xu Huaiyi shook his head busily, and said with a desire to survive, "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong, I shouldn't be nosy, I shouldn't agree to accompany them to toss, they don't give up, then go and inquire yourself, and ask me to go into the water, I should have refused with a firm position just now, how can I be a woman's kindness, let them get an inch......"

Gu Huanxi said angrily, "Since you understand everything, why do you ......?"

I just don't have a long memory.

Xu Huaiyi shrugged his head and let his daughter-in-law hate iron and steel, and only then did he flatter at the end, "Don't worry, daughter-in-law, I have a bottom line, and I won't always condone them for it." ”

Gu Huanxi snorted, if he didn't have a bottom line, he would have been kicked out of the house by her.

The next day, before dawn, Xu Huaiyi left.

There are still a lot of people who went to Qingzhou with them, except for the father and son of Village Chief Xu, Uncle Gao, Uncle Liu, Xu Maoyuan, and Meng Erzhu, all of whom got on the mule cart.

The first time I saw such a carriage, several people were very rare.

You can sit during the day, pull out the board at night and dock it, it is a bed, it is no problem to lie down three or four people, there is storage space under the seat, it is convenient to hide food or something, and on the top, there is a circle of cabinets, you can put bedding and clothes, there are some hooks and partitions around it, and you can also place some commonly used things.

In addition, there is a small table, and the best thing is that the small table can be fastened together under the carriage, so that you can run on the road, put something to eat and drink on the table, and you don't have to worry about falling over.

Along the way, they experienced first-hand the benefits of taking this carriage.

It's too comfortable to sit.

Although it is still bumpy, sitting in it, you can lie down, the wind can't blow, the rain can't get wet, open the small window, and you can enjoy the scenery on both sides while eating and drinking.

If you go to escape the famine like this, it is not a sin.

Several people were thinking about things, and when they approached Qingzhou, they couldn't take care of anything.

On the road, there were gradually more people, wearing tattered clothes, dragging their families, carrying pots and pans, and better ones had a board cart with a bunch of miscellaneous things on it.

These people had almost the same expression, their eyes were dull, and their steps were vain, but they were numb and stubborn and refused to stop, and walked mechanically in one direction.

"Dad, these people...... Are they all going to Qingzhou? Xu Changsong looked outside, his face was a little pale, "Looking at what they are wearing, they don't look like the people nearby." ”

Village Chief Xu frowned and didn't say a word.

Second Uncle Gao said with a solemn face, "It's a refugee, or it's from a long way away." ”

If it was nearby, it would not have been miserable like that, the shoes were worn out, the hair was knotted, and it looked like it had been walking for many days.

Xu Changsong muttered in horror, "Refugees? At this time, there are refugees? Let's ...... then."

Village Chief Xu took over, "Let's take a look, if it's wrong, let's turn around and don't go to Qingzhou again." ”

When the others heard this, they did not object.

Xu Huaiyi was driving a car outside, and when he saw this scene, he was even more deeply moved.

Meng Erzhu sat on the side and whispered to him, "Huaiyi, if we go to escape the famine, is it the same?" Unkempt and unkempt, made without a human ......"

Xu Huaiyi said lightly, "It's like someone who stays at home, but his life is gone, who will he bury decently and decently?" ”

Meng Erzhu choked.

Xu Huaiyi asked, "You don't want to leave at home?" ”

Meng Erzhu said with an embarrassed face, "My father didn't say anything, my grandfather didn't want to go, he said that he was old and afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on to the road, and he said that even if he died, he had to die at home, and he couldn't be a lonely ghost." ”

Looking at the relationship between the original owner and him in the past, Xu Huaiyi reminded, "Then you have to think about it, how to stay and live, lack of food is only one of them, the real crisis is that after people are hungry, they will lose their humanity, and they will become robbers and thieves, and they will become animals, and animals will eat people." ”

Meng Erzhu was so frightened by him that he trembled, and then looked at the refugees on the road, and couldn't help but be a little vigilant in his eyes.

At this time, someone surrounded him and pleaded, "Okay, uncle, give me a stutter......

Seeing this, some others followed the trend and came here, while others stopped and watched.

Xu Huaiyi had to stop. (End of chapter)
