The next road, sure enough, as Mr. Liao said, there is no place to add to the blockage in Ansheng, whether it is through the town or the county seat, look at their expressions with curiosity and precautions, but they are not nervous and driven, and the locals who have good things take the initiative to come to them to ask questions, inquire about some famine, and learn that the local government has not actively provided disaster relief, only to change their faces, some are thoughtful, and some are worried.

There is no disaster relief in the local area, and those victims are left with only two roads, either to defend or flee the famine, and if they escape the famine, the first choice is the capital, so this road into Beijing will soon become lively, or even chaotic.

The victims of Xujia Village are at the forefront, and they have not encountered too many crises and difficulties, so there is no shortage of food and drink, and they have to rest properly, and their mental outlook is not depressed, but the real army is still behind, that is fatal, extremely hungry, desperate, who knows what they will do at that time?

Those who had the foresight had already begun to erect high walls to stock up on grain.

These have nothing to do with the villagers, as they get closer and closer to the capital day by day, everyone's mood gradually becomes complicated, there are excitement and anticipation, there are also uneasiness, and there is a loss, where to settle in the capital, how to live, all kinds of realistic survival problems, put in front of them.

On this day, the team passed through a town, and seeing that the sky was not good, and it was gloomy and seemed to be raining, Xu Huaiyi stopped and hurriedly looked for a place to shelter from the rain.

Now it's almost October, and it's getting colder and colder day by day, and the old people and children who can't help but freeze have put on jackets, which if it rains, the body can't bear it.

Village Chief Xu also understands this, but it is really difficult to find a place to shelter from the rain, near this town, there is not even a deserted temple, where to hide from the rain?

Xu Huaiyi suggested, "Uncle Village Chief, there are inns in the town, and there are also cheaper car shops, it's really not good, let's just go in and stay for one night, compared to getting sick in the rain, it's worth spending that bit of silver, what do you say?" ”

Village Chief Xu didn't hesitate much, so he nodded in response, afraid that the villagers would be reluctant to give up the money, and they went door to door to do ideological work, but they didn't expect that the big guys were actually very cooperative.

Also, this Western Heaven learns scriptures, and the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties are almost over, and you can't finally stumble on your heels at this door, how wronged is that?

However, it is true that the villagers chose the big car shop, the rooms in the big car shop are simpler, and the sleeping is also a bunk, but the wind can't blow, the rain can't get wet, there can still be hot water to drink, and they also brought a brazier to keep warm, they are very content.

It's better than sleeping in the open before.

Not to mention, it's still raining outside.

After nearly a year, the people of Xujia Village did not see the rain, and when they saw the drizzle in a strange place, they had mixed feelings for a while.

Xu Huaiyi took his daughter-in-law and children to live in the inn, and he didn't show off what he wanted to go to the room, so he chose an ordinary, one hundred wen a night, which is not cheap, but the conditions are not bad, there are hot meals, and free hot water is provided for bathing, the bedding is also very clean, what else do you need a bicycle?

The inn junior is warm and thoughtful, running up and down several times, carrying hot water buckets, delivering meals, and focusing on a service in place.

Xu Huaiyi followed the customs of the countryside and rewarded him with twenty articles.

The innkeeper smiled like a flower on his face, and took the initiative to provide consulting services, giving Xu Huaiyi a lot of science about the capital.

It's been a few days since the capital, and the news from the capital is easy to spread.

After he left, Master Liao sent a housekeeper to invite Xu Huaiyi to drink with him, not only to him, but also to several families who lived in the inn.

The banquet was sumptuous and placed in a private room.

The laughter faintly spread upstairs, Gu Huanxi listened calmly, and gave Gu Xiaoyu a dish from time to time, "Try this fish, it should be a live fish, the meat is very tender, but the taste is slightly lighter, and the sweet and sour sauce is thicker, and when we settle down in the capital, we will buy fish ourselves to make it, and it will be better to keep it than this." ”

Gu Xiaoyu responded while eating, but his expression was slightly absent-minded.

Gu Huanxi gave him another chopsticks to fry the liver, and the dogwood in it was used a lot to cover up the peculiar smell of the liver, so it was a little spicy, Gu Xiaoyu seemed to be unconscious, so he couldn't help coughing twice, picked up the cup and drank a few sips, his eyes were slightly red.

Gu Huanxi didn't see it, and he didn't rush to ask, and when he finished eating, he instructed Wei Ci and Wei An, "You two go to the carriage, bring our small stove, and the set of boiling tea, don't leave it behind, chestnuts and walnuts or something, bring some too, and wait to roast them and eat them as snacks." ”

Wei Ci hurriedly responded and pulled his younger brother out.

The door closed, and Simba was left lying on the mat in the corner, licking a bowl of cooked acorn noodle porridge in disgust.

It wanted to eat meat, but it didn't, and after two whining protests, Gu Huanxi ignored it at all, she looked at Gu Xiaoyu and asked, "Do you have something on your mind?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu's expression stiffened slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to deny it, but in the face of that wise look that seemed to know everything, he couldn't lie, so he could only nod.

Gu Huanxi asked softly, "What's on your mind?" Can you tell your mother? ”

Gu Xiaoyu pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I, I have lived in the capital before......"

Gu Huanxi was not surprised when he heard this, "Are you worried that you will meet someone you know and recognize you?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu let out a difficult "um".

Gu Huanxi raised his eyebrows, "The family behind you, what crime is on your back?" That's why you can't show up in front of people with your real identity? ”

Gu Xiaoyu shook his head quickly, "No, I'm not a criminal queen." ”

Gu Huanxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what's not?" Is it your family that provokes someone who shouldn't be provoked, and there is an enemy who wants to be unfavorable to you? ”

Gu Xiaoyu still shook his head.

Gu Huanxi sighed, "So, it's the internal strife in the big family?" Your presence is in the way of other people's interests, so you can't be tolerated, so you have to leave? ”

This time, Gu Xiaoyu nodded with a wry smile, and said slowly, "I am my father's eldest son, but my mother died early, and after that, my father married another person, and my stepmother had a son, so I felt that I was in the way, and it would affect her son's status in the future, so I set up a situation several times to get rid of me, but my father had no choice but to send me away." ”

Gu Huanxi asked in surprise, "Can't your father protect you?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu said gloomily, "My stepmother's family is powerful, my father is in a difficult situation, and he needs the help of the Yue family for the time being, so he can't turn his face against him, he wants to protect me, but he is powerless." ”

Gu Huanxi wanted to say that if a father really has the heart to protect his son, there will always be a way, but he is reluctant to help the Yue family, in the final analysis, his future is more important, as for the safety of his son, he thinks that he can grow up safely if he is sent far away? It's really naïve and irresponsible, is it just to eat when you grow up? No need for upbringing?

But right now, looking at Gu Xiaoyu's gloomy face, she couldn't bear to make matters worse.
