When the sun was about to set, Li Ping'an and Caoya came back to join their aunts.

The purpose of this trip has also been achieved, the harvest that should have been harvested is basically harvested, the wild fruits are picked only ripe, and the grass originally wanted to pick them all, but Li Ping'an still persuaded them, some wild fruits will have diarrhea when they eat too much when they are not ripe, although the food they can find is limited now, but they can't be so careless in order to fill their stomachs, and it is also fatal to have diarrhea.

There are also a lot of bird eggs, Li Ping'an carried fifteen or sixteen in his arms, which were given to him by the grass girl, almost half of them, and asked him to take them back to Jixiang Ruyi and them to eat, Li Ping'an couldn't accept them.

In addition, there is a cauliflower snake, which is caught by the grass when she climbs the tree to dig out the bird's nest, and everyone was startled when she just saw her carrying a snake and slid down the tree, Peach Blossom and Zhao Di turned white on the spot, the big one counted down on the grass, and the small one hugged the grass and cried and chirped.

Li Ping'an and Zhang Xiaoshan looked at it and confirmed that it was a non-venomous snake before they put their hearts at ease, but they were slandering in their hearts that this girl was really bold, and she caught the snake on the tree with her bare hands without saying a word, and she was not afraid of encountering a poisonous snake.

The harvest is not small, but it can't be said to be much, Li Ping'an and Zhang Xiaoshan originally wanted to find out if there were traces of pheasants and hares, but unfortunately they didn't have the luck and didn't find them.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Yu and the others also came back, only catching six pheasants, and nothing else.

"I only saw these six, and the others didn't know where they went, so I looked inside, but I found the traces of the wild boar, it seems that it was only two days earlier, and I will stay one more day tomorrow, and I will take someone to look for it again tomorrow, if I can catch this wild boar."

Back at the bottom of the mountain, Zhang Yu discussed with Li Erlin and Chen Song, and decided to stay for one more day. The allure of wild boars is too great.

The pheasants and hares caught during the day were all killed and boiled several pots of soup, and the fragrance wafted far away, but fortunately, the location where they rested was not a short distance from the official road, but it did not attract the homeless people on the pipeline.

There were no homeless people who came to settle next to them, those homeless people had walked for a day, exhausted, hungry and thirsty, they had fled the famine for so many days, and few of them had any belongings worthy of being coveted by others, most of them were lying on the side of the road, lazy to take a step and consume a little more physical strength.

Li Ping'an and the others ate a meal with peace of mind, anyway, there was no oil and water, and there were not a few pieces of meat in the bowl, so they didn't need to worry about the burden of the hungry stomach at all.

After resting all day, there was meat to eat, soup to drink, and wild vegetable porridge, as if there was no sense of urgency to escape the famine, the children began to chase and fight, the old people sat next to the fire and knitted straw sandals, from time to time to look up at the children, put a firewood in the fire.

The women cleaned up and pulled the housework, and after washing the dishes and pans, they sat down by the fire and knitted straw shoes with the old people. On this day, those who are in a hurry every day are reluctant to wear cloth shoes, they are all wearing straw shoes, and the straw shoes also break quickly, and they use weeds poles if there is no dry straw.

The men sat in a heap, and the grass was there, and the thing to be discussed tonight was the news about the plague brought by the grass girl.

In fact, Caoya doesn't know much, the plague occurred in Fuping County, which is also under the jurisdiction of Huzhou, just west of Linhu County, and is also a county seat near the river. According to the news she heard, many people died in just a few days, and the government did not have time to react and blockade it, and many people had already escaped.

Chen Song's face was covered with a layer of gloom, "If there is really a plague and it spreads, the county town we pass through next may also have the city gate closed to prevent the displaced people from entering the city." And there were so many people on the road, we don't know where they escaped from...... I can't make up my mind whether to continue on the road or not, tell me what you think? ”

It's already a great deal of luck that they've been able to escape here one by one, and if they keep going, we don't know what will happen. Some people think it's better to keep walking, and some people think it's good to stay here, at least you can find food in the mountains, and it's enough to support the imperial court to come to the disaster relief.

"I think we're going to have to move on." Li Ping'an expressed his opinion and analyzed, "According to Caoya, the plague caused a large number of people to die in just a few days, which should be an emergency with a fast infection rate and a high mortality rate. At this time, people infected with the plague should not be able to walk, right?

And the grass came here a few days before us, and when she heard the news, she said that the plague had been happening for several days, and we had seen a lot of dead people along the way, but we had not seen a large number of deaths, so didn't that mean that the plague had not been spread? We don't need to worry about whether there is a plague ahead, but we should worry more about whether the plague will catch up. ”

"Didn't you say that people infected with the plague can't walk here? Why are you worried that the plague will catch up? Someone asked.

"Who knows if it will, one spread ten to hundreds, one day or two, slowly it can always spread." Li Ping'an shrugged his shoulders, he was very annoyed, he had come here, the distance was not halfway but it was close to halfway, and there were still people who were swaying.

He looked at Li Erlin, who had been silent, there were some unpleasant things that he was a junior who was not easy to say, and it was inevitable that someone would not be able to hang on his face, which would easily cause contradictions, and it could only be said by Li Erlin, he believed that his father would figure it out.

"That's it, those who want to go continue to go, those who don't want to leave will stay, I also thought about it just now, the places that have not been affected by the disaster should also collect grain, and the court and the government should be able to provide disaster relief soon. When I get here, whether I leave or stay, the possibility of living is greater than before, and I can be considered to have fulfilled my promise to everyone, and there is still one day tomorrow, so you can think about it and make a decision. ”

Li Erlin's tone was flat, he was not surprised by the occurrence of this situation, when he exchanged the field for rice and grain with people's teeth, he knew that sooner or later there would be this day.

He has already exchanged all the fields of his family in Xiaochen Village for grain, and he has no way back but to continue to move forward. But someone is different, leaving room for it.

Their goal is to survive, but not all of them want to settle down in another country.

"Erlin, Erlin!" Chen Song hurriedly shouted, "I have something to say, I just can't make up my mind, since you said you want to go, let's continue to go." ”

He has a large family, except for him and his eldest son, the rest are old and young women and children, and if he stays, he is not sure to protect so many people.

But he had no other thoughts, he was afraid that the plague was real, and his father and brother died one after another before the flood came, and he was really afraid that his family would be infected with the plague and continue to die. And after a day's rest, his tense breath also let out a lot, and it happened that he had this reason, so he thought about trying to see if he could stay and not leave.

"I'm still saying the same thing, there is another day tomorrow, you can think about it and make a decision. You can find food here, as long as you are careful, it is not too difficult to stay and live, you can stay if you want to stay, but if you want to keep going, don't hesitate like this anymore. ”

If the heart is not aligned, it will definitely have its own thoughts, and once you have your own careful thoughts, there will be contradictions. He didn't dare to bring such a team, and he didn't dare to follow.

In the end, it was a little unhappy, and this night, some people tossed and turned.
