The gnocchi soup eaten for breakfast, there are green wild vegetables and frangipani in it, and when it comes out of the pot, Xu Huaiyi pours some sesame oil, and the fragrance can simply drift three miles in the wind.

When the villagers saw this, most of them were already numb.

Of course, there are those who are used to it, and there are those who are not used to it, and it is inevitable that they can't help but sour two sentences.

At this time, some people will also jump out and say fairly, "People dig ginseng, and when the price of food is not too outrageous, they buy a lot of grain, can they make it casually, this envy does not come, who makes people not only lucky, but also vision, why didn't you exchange all the silver in your hands for grain and store it earlier?" Then now you don't have to swish and count the rice grains in the pot, you can also eat and drink spicy food, hum, at this time, the eyes are hot, and it's too late! ”

"Then he's too flamboyant, everyone eats bran vegetables, he can still eat fine grains, and he eats so high-profile, he has to consider the feelings of others, right?"

When these words came out, someone immediately said, "What's the matter? Do you have to let people eat bran with you to share the joys and sorrows? If you think it's right to do this, then go to him to theorize, think about Xu Youtian, now he is still lying on the kang and can't move, who are you Xu Huaiyi, can he be arranged casually? ”

The lethality of these words was great, and they were all honestly like quails all of a sudden.

After eating, hit the road again.

Village Chief Xu pulled his throat and told every household to bring enough water, in case the water source is not easy to find, they have to live on the stored water.

This inevitably made the villagers anxious, but it is always right to plan ahead, so when they set off, many people's luggage was heavier, which undoubtedly slowed down the speed.

Village Chief Xu was secretly anxious, and went to discuss with Xu Huaiyi, "What do you think about this matter?" I don't have to worry about the water if I don't have enough water, but I can't let them throw other things, and they will definitely be reluctant to ......"

Xu Huaiyi didn't say a solution, only reminded lightly, "At this rate, I was able to get to the capital in a month, but I'm afraid it will drag on for more than forty days, and it doesn't matter if the food of each family is enough to eat and the clothes they bring are thick enough." ”

Hearing this, Village Chief Xu turned his head and went to urge.

The villagers are obedient, but they are inevitably complaining.

Village Chief Xu had a calm face, just don't hear it, anyway, as long as you don't slow down.

Xu Huaiyi didn't care even more, he drove the mule cart unhurriedly, knocked melon seeds, and talked with Xu Changsong and Xu Huaixiao without a ride, and he didn't feel bored at all.

When the legs and waist of the sitting were tired, he came down and walked a few steps, and his energy was full of people.

It's also puzzling.

Xu Changsong spent most of his boring time pondering Xu Huaiyi, how did he maintain such vigorous energy? Just because you eat well and eat enough?

Xu Changbai said, "Third Brother Xu must have perseverance, so that he can fight against the hardships and tests on the road to escape from the famine so vigorously, and not be knocked down by fatigue." ”

Xu Changsong, "......"

He suspected that his younger brother was bewitched by Xu Huaiyi, and this tone of worship simply made his heart tremble.

When they stopped to rest, Gao Zhuang and Liu Xiuwen at the end of the team came over, and there was also a dark-skinned young man with a cold expression, as if he was reluctant.

Xu Huaiyi recognized him as Xu Huai'an, the eldest grandson of the fourth uncle's family, but he couldn't understand why he put on such a face, and he didn't bother to take care of it, so he asked the other two instead, "What's wrong?" ”

Gao Zhuang squatted on the hay next to him, and said happily, "My father sent me, let me tell you, those people who followed us were a little dishonest last night." ”

Xu Huaiyi raised his eyebrows, "Worried about our food?" ”

Gao Zhuang shook his head, with a bit of complexity on his face, "It was they who fought for food, not in front of us, I thought they would be in a group, and they were always on guard, who wanted to fight without us trying to deal with it, they fought inwardly......"

Xu Huaiyi sneered unexpectedly, "They are not a group in the first place, and they don't have any food to eat, so they don't dare to fight our idea, but they can only attack the side, how is the beating, is it serious?" ”

Gao Zhuang whispered, "It seems that someone is dead......"

Xu Huaiyi said calmly, "It's normal." ”

Gao Zhuang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard him say this so calmly.

Xu Huaian frowned, but he couldn't hold back, "For the sake of stuttering, directly beat people to death, don't you think this is too cruel and cruel?" ”

Xu Huaiyi glanced at him lightly, "In the peaceful years, it is definitely not okay to kill people in order to grab food, but now that you are fleeing the famine, it is a matter of course, natural selection, the weak eat the strong, if someone robs your family's food now, won't you resist?" ”

"Then you don't have to beat people to death......"

"When people are hungry and anxious, they see stuttering, it's like a wolf staring at their prey, they don't die, the other party wants your life, if you don't kill him, he will stay for the New Year?"

"But ......"

"No, I want to say that you don't need to be killed, you just need to run away, right? Hmph, it's the stupidest thing to let the tiger go back to the mountain......" Xu Huaiyi pulled the corners of his mouth, and sneered in a mocking tone, "Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing, in this situation, if you can't be ruthless, when something really happens, the other party will not pity you, and the person who died may be you." ”

Xu Huai'an's face changed.

Liu Xiuwen said at this time, "I think what Third Brother Xu said is right, now is not the time to talk about etiquette, because others are staring at us with knives, if you don't resist, there is only one way to die." ”

Xu Huai'an probably felt that his face couldn't hold it, and turned around and left.

Xu Huaiyi said speechlessly, "What's wrong with him?" ”

Gao Zhuang was well-informed, and reminded in a low voice, "He doesn't want to leave the village, it's your fourth uncle who insists on going with you, and he can't come out." ”

"Why don't you want to leave?"

"He has set a parent, and he will pass the door next month, but this time, the family affair can only be delayed."

"The woman's house is not leaving, is it? Then explain the situation to the woman's family, and pass the door in advance. ”

"I said it here, but I don't agree with it."

"Good fellow, so, this anger blames me?"

Gao Zhuang laughed dryly and changed the subject, "What should we pay attention to when it comes to killing people?" Do you have to think of something to guard against, those are all lifeless, not afraid of them robbing openly, just afraid that they will make yin behind their backs. ”

Xu Huaiyi thought for a while, "When I stop eating at noon, I'll go and see it first." ”

Gao Zhuang nodded, "It's okay." ”

Xu Huaiyi saw that the two of them were leaving, and thought of the previous promise to Liu Xiuwen to borrow the book, so he knocked on the carriage, "Daughter-in-law, Brother Xiuwen wants to read this book, you can get a copy." ”

In the carriage, Gu Huanxi was writing, and she was holding a charcoal pen in her hand, which Xu Huaiyi had helped her make with a burned wooden stick, wrapped in something outside, so that her hands would not be dirty.

The reason why charcoal is used instead of a brush is naturally because in the process of traveling on a mule cart, it is too difficult to write with a brush, and it does not look like a way to write, and it is easy to write without charcoal.

Hearing Xu Huaiyi's words, she picked out a travelogue and handed it out from the window, this travelogue was not written by Gu Frame, but bought it from a bookstore when she was in the capital, it was more famous, and the content was good, she had already finished reading it.
