Dr. Zhu didn't expect Li Ping'an to come back so quickly, and with several men, his face was full of enthusiastic smiles, and in his opinion, he even had some flattering meaning.

He looked at these men carefully, and from their size, he could see that they were croppers who had been doing manual work for a long time, and although they looked a little tired, they were still in good spirits, unlike many homeless people. I believed Li Ping'an's words just now, they should indeed have some food.

He made a decision right away and accepted their invitation.

This time it was Li Erlin's turn, they didn't expect it, they were even mentally prepared for vain, but before they could persuade a few words, Dr. Zhu agreed?

"Really?" Li Ping'an was overjoyed.

"Can I still lie to you?" Doctor Zhu glanced at Li Ping'an unhappily, "I won't tell you anything, in fact, I have no choice." We came to the city to join our relatives, but now we can't get into the city, you can also see, there are more and more displaced people gathered outside the city, the scope of the disaster can be imagined, my relative's family must not have a good time, even if we can go into the city, I am afraid that we will not stay long, but it will drag them down. ”

Instead of waiting here, it is better to take the initiative to find a way to make a living. The road to escape is full of dangers, and if only one of them goes on the road, he doesn't know how many he can survive in the end. At this time, it is already rare to meet acquaintances, and if you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will wait for the next time.

Besides, Li Ping'an, a child, he also understands it, and has proposed more than once that he wants to worship him as a teacher and study medicine, but as a doctor, the matter of accepting apprentices is very important, and he has never come down because he wants to find out Li Ping'an's character......

There are thousands of thoughts in his heart, thinking of this, he couldn't help but stare at Li Ping'an with some annoyance, this kid has a good character and is smart enough, but he is not persistent enough, and after being rejected by him a few times, he never mentioned the matter of apprenticeship.

He has no shortage of apprentices, and his two sons have studied medicine with him since they were young, since Li Ping'an didn't mention it, he naturally didn't need to take the initiative to mention it. I've never heard a master beg to take in an apprentice.

Li Ping'an thought that Dr. Zhu was dissatisfied with the truth or falsehood he just asked, and complained in his heart that this little old man's temper was really a little weird, but there was a flattering smile on his face.

If he knew the real reason why Dr. Zhu glared at him, he would definitely be aggrieved and shouted wronged, he was not insistent enough, nor could he pull his face down to stalk, but he knew that the art of this era was not lightly transmitted, and Dr. Zhu's tone of refusal several times was very resolute, and he felt that it would be impolite to continue to mention the matter of worshipping the teacher, so he gave up.

And Li Erlin, who was sure that Dr. Zhu was on the road with them, was very happy, and when they were cleaning up at Dr. Zhu's house, they took the initiative to come forward to help, but they were refused, and they were not reluctant, and retreated to the side with a happy face.

It is enough to make an attitude, and at this time everyone is wary of everyone, and they do not want others to come into contact with their belongings.

Besides, although Dr. Zhu's family has a large population, and Dr. Zhu's two sons, daughters-in-law and five grandchildren, they don't have many belongings, and they can get them themselves.

The team fleeing from the famine has grown, and it is still an old man and three strong men who have joined in, which has lifted everyone's spirits and added confidence to the next journey.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and before I have time to welcome Dr. Zhu's family, the team that has already packed up and set off in a hurry.

It is said that someone saw the villagers who fled separately in the mountains before, but now the original complete family can't see the girl, and I don't know if it was sold for food or what. If they don't hurry away, it won't be good if the man sees them.

These days, I know that it is not easy to escape from the famine, what if that person finds them and begs them to take them?

If it was good to discuss before parting, now that everyone might have sold their daughters, even if it was just speculation, they wouldn't dare to bring it. People are unpredictable, people can even sell their own children, and they can't tell how to make it bad on the road with them.

If they don't agree, it will be even worse if people get angry and spread the news that they have food.

All the way to the south, rubbing shoulders with the homeless people who went north to the state city, occasionally someone would ask them if the state city was giving porridge, and they still had time to answer, and it could also appease the hearts of these homeless people, so as not to always stare at their belongings.

Although people's hearts are sinister, for these displaced farmers, as long as there is still a bite to eat, most people do not want to take risks.

Most of the time, the demands of most farmers are really low, very low, and this has been the case since ancient times.

And the effort of their answers, they were also kindly reminded by some homeless people, seeing that they had a lot of children, and told them to take more care of their own children, and there were people in front of them in this direction who were eating people: snatching children's food, eating the corpses of the dead.

When everyone heard this, their faces changed greatly, although they thought that there would be a situation of cannibalism, but when they really heard about it, it was still difficult to accept, and they were even so disgusted that they wanted to vomit.

For the rest of the journey, they woke up and never spoke to any of the homeless people again, because they looked at everyone as if they had eaten human flesh.

When the sun set, after passing a fork in the road, Li Erlin let the corner go in without thinking about it. They can't spend the night on the side of the official road, they don't know the place well, and they don't know if they can find a fork in the road before dark, and they won't miss this hour.

Li Ping'an observed the surrounding environment, there were no mountains nearby, the mountains were far away, and the surrounding areas were either paddy fields or dry land, which was very empty. The fields were the same as he had seen along the way, and the crops had been washed away.

They turned along the path to a village full of ruins, and to their surprise, there was a blue brick house at the east end of the higher village, which had not been washed away, and looked relatively intact on the outside.

The door of the house was not closed, to be precise, the door was gone, and it looked like it had been damaged. There was no one in the house, but the cabinets, boxes, cylinders and barrels had been turned over, and there were traces of a fire.

Li Ping'an guessed that it should be the owner of the house who fled to the desert, and then the displaced people found here, knocked open the wooden door and turned over the cabinet to find out if there was any food, maybe they found it or not, but whether they found it or not, it was better to have a shelter from the wind and rain to settle down than to lie on the side of the road in the wild.

Especially Li Erlin also found a well in the backyard, so everyone happily decided to rest in this house tonight.

Everyone was busy, and there was a room where everyone was much more down-to-earth, this one said boiling water to wipe down, and the other said that it was good to eat at night, and they were all relaxed.

Li Ping'an also looked happy, and took advantage of the fact that it was not dark to call Zhang Xiaoshan out of the house.
