At two o'clock in the morning, Xu Huaiyi woke up, changed shifts with his daughter-in-law, took out a telescope that can be seen at night vision, found a high place, and looked around.

After knowing this, he came back and said to Village Chief Xu, "When it gets dawn, let's not hurry to leave first, I'll go ahead and investigate." ”

Hearing this, Village Chief Xu, who was still a little sleepy, instantly sobered up, "What do you mean, Huaiyi?" Are you aware of something? ”

Xu Huaiyi poured him a cup of tea and said comfortingly, "Village Chief's book, don't worry, there's no situation, I'm just taking precautions, just thinking about one more step, anyway, we left early, we have already thrown off a lot of others, don't hurry to hurry, you can go calmly and steadily, isn't it more down-to-earth......

Village Chief Xu took a sip of hot tea to settle down, tasted his words, and nodded subconsciously, "That's right, but, before, why didn't you do this?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said casually, "It's only been a few days since I went out, and I'm still on the boundary of our Qingzhou, how dangerous can it be?" But the more you go to the capital, what is the situation along the way, we know too little, you think about it before, we passed by the small broken county, open your mouth to ask for a silver toll, who knows if the front of the city is more ruthless and darker? Maybe, there is some kind of deadly mess, we don't know, if you hit it headlong, isn't it falling into the pit? There are hundreds of us in the family, even if we run, we can't run. ”

Village Chief Xu was successfully persuaded by him, and agreed, "What you said is too right, just listen to you, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, it is always right to have a few more eyes......"

After a pause, he sighed again, "Huaiyi, you are still thoughtful and long-term, the big guy came out with you, but it can be regarded as the right way, saying that it is an escape from the famine, how have we really suffered?" It's all thanks to you, Uncle knows it, and the big guy understands it......"

Xu Huaiyi interrupted with a smile, "Uncle Village Chief, it's a matter of saying these words, we are a village, it is appropriate to help each other, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, at a critical time, the big guys also help me, I also remember the feelings, if there is a chance in the future, I will not forget." ”

When Village Chief Xu heard this, the old man was a little panicked, "What did I help you?" It didn't help anything, it was all carried by one person, alas, that's what the big guy can do......"

Xu Huaiyi's words were very transparent, "If you can stand with me, I will appreciate it, I don't have to pounce on it to fight for my life, I can't afford that responsibility." ”

Village Chief Xu couldn't say anything anymore.

After dawn, the villagers got up one after another to get busy, there was no idler, even if it was good to pick up more firewood, but more people were still looking around for food, it turned out to be digging wild vegetables, and later followed Gu Huanxi to learn mulberry leaf tofu, the focus was on finding mulberry trees, fields, roadside ditches, carefully searching, mulberry trees are still there, and now they don't care about the old and tender, as long as they can fill their stomachs, it is a good thing.

Soon, the smoke of the cooking rose and floated into the air, and every household was mostly boiling porridge, grabbing the multigrain flour, and then pulling some wild vegetables into it, and the grain was rich, it was boiled thicker, and if the food was lacking, it had to count the rice grains in the pot, as long as it was not white water, it could bluff the stomach.

In the past, in the village, they didn't have the habit of eating breakfast, especially since the beginning of spring, they were dealing with one meal a day, or after escaping the famine, they were influenced by Xu Huaiyi, so it was arranged.

Xu Huaiyi said that three meals a day, this meal in the morning is the most important, even if you don't eat the other two, you can't settle in the morning.

Xu Huaiyi, who couldn't settle down, made a pot of gnocchi soup, which was very rich in content, including diced bacon, dried shiitake mushrooms, and frangipani, and finally sprinkled with fresh wild vegetables, which can be called full of color, flavor, and flavor.

The gnocchi is mainly white noodles, slightly mixed with some bean noodles and millet noodles, the taste is more layered, and it is smooth and not throaty, and the taste is enough, Gu Huanxi likes to eat it very much, with small pickles, you can drink a big bowl.

This is still the case when she has already driven a small stove in the RV, and she can still have this appetite, which shows how outstanding Xu Huaiyi's cooking skills are.

Anyway, the people around you, smelling the fragrance, can eat.

After eating, Xu Huaiyi rode a mule and went to the front alone to explore the way.

The villagers waited in place, and asked curiously, and Village Chief Xu took out what Xu Huaiyi said and explained it, and between the words, they were all affirmation and appreciation for him.

What else can the villagers say? Since he kept up with the pace of the village chief, he gave high praise and gratitude to Xu Huaiyi's behavior.

There is such a person in the team, that is Dinghaishen Needle, down-to-earth, and has a sense of security, if anyone dares to arrange Xu Huaiyi in the future, they will be in a hurry!

Xu Huaiyi's popularity is unprecedentedly high.

There was also some unease, so Xu Maoyuan pulled Village Chief Xu to complain, "Why did you let Huaiyi go alone?" If something happens, there's no helper. ”

Village Chief Xu sighed, "You think I didn't say it?" But Huaiyi said that it was more convenient for him to go alone, and if he really had to do something, it would be troublesome if there were too many people. ”

Xu Maoyuan reacted, thinking about Xu Huaiyi's combat effectiveness in defeating the enemy, with a helper, wouldn't it be troublesome if he was dragged down.

In less than half an hour, Xu Huaiyi ran back, this place is not far from the front of Fucheng, he has a telescope that can cheat, and his mouth is sharp, if he wants to inquire about something, it is still very effortless.

Village Chief Xu and others surrounded him and looked at him with blank eyes.

Xu Huaiyi said with a solemn face, "We can't move forward for the time being." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Village Chief Xu asked anxiously, "What's going on?" What's wrong? Could it be that Fucheng also charges high tolls? Shall we take a detour of the trail? ”

Xu Huaiyi replied one by one, "The gate of the city in front of the city is closed, and the victims are not allowed to enter at all, unless they bring enough food, a big household like the Yao family, the current situation is similar to that of Qingzhou, the victims are all around the city gate, and if they stay for a long time, the victims will become refugees, and it is not safe for us to detour, there are too many people, the goal is too big, once it appears, it will be ......remembered by those people."

When Village Chief Xu heard this, his face suddenly became a little ugly, "You mean, those refugees can't hold back anymore and grab food?" ”

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "I asked someone, in the past few days, there have been several chaos, the scale is not large, and it will be suppressed soon, but the emotions of the refugees cannot be suppressed, and the officials in the city have not come up with any effective solutions so far. ”

"There are so many of us, they dare to rob it?"

"There were more of them, and I counted them roughly, and there must be one or two thousand, and they were still hungry for days, and their eyes were red when they saw food."

"So, what then? Aren't we going to be able to leave? ”

"Before I came back, I looked down and found a good place."

When Village Chief Xu heard this, he immediately asked, "What's the best place to go?" ”

Xu Huaiyi raised his hand and pointed in a direction, "There, a series of mountains, there seems to be no people at the bottom of the mountain, and on the mountain, I look like there are a lot of things to eat, let's go to the mountain to rest for a few days, and see how the refugees here in Fucheng can be solved, if this side is really unbearable, let's find another way out from the side of the mountain." ”
