Chapter 19: Dignity(2/2)

Fortunately, he finally has a team that has begun to take shape, and the quality of the personnel is quite high.

The urgent thing is that they need to find a place to stay immediately and find a way to find supplies.

The six stones of food they had was enough to last them two days.

It originally took them a day and a half to reach Luweizhe, but they had already walked for half a day.

However, in order to avoid Li Dian's pursuers, they circled north again. This journey would take at least three days, and they would definitely not have enough food.

But having said that, they have knives and spears, so how can they not get food?

While Zhang Chong was walking with the team, Ding Sheng, who was sentry in front, came back with Zhang Dan.

As soon as he arrived, he said to Zhang Chong:

"Brother Chong, we found a small settlement ahead. Maybe we can get food there."

Zhang Chong was overjoyed, as expected, he was still somewhat lucky, so whatever worries came his way.

Zhang Chong raised his voice and said to everyone:

"Brothers, there is a party ahead. Let's go there to live, cook, and drink some hot water."

"good"

Everyone's interest suddenly rose and they rushed towards the gathering like wolves and tigers.

But after arriving at the place, Zhang Chong was obviously disappointed by the situation of the gathering.

He originally thought this would be a gathering place like Dasangli, but he didn't expect that this place would be full of cave dwellers.

Large tracts of low thatched huts cover the burrows, making you think you have arrived at a weasel's lair, not a human one.

Zhang Chong didn't know that this was the normal state of most low-class people in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

When he first came to this world, he lived in the Zhang family in Dasangli. He thought that they were already very poor, but in fact, the old Zhang family was still self-cultivated farmers, with twenty acres of land and a roof to shelter them from the wind and rain.

Cottages.

Moreover, Dasangli is located in Jishui, and it is the ferry port of Licheng on the Jishui River. The trade and commerce is very developed, so it is already a good place.

After that, Zhang Chong transported it all the way, but he never really saw the true face of the lower class of the Han Dynasty.

He is shocked now because he still understands too little about this world.

Zhang Chong knocked open the fence of a crypt.

The person who opened the door was a trembling old man. At first glance, he looked older than Zhang Chong and his father, but his voice was not that old.

The old man was wearing a ragged single coat, and his skin was black and cracked under the clothes.

When he saw so many people holding knives and sticks outside, he burst into tears:

"It's gone. It's really gone. Come on, sir. There's really not a drop of millet left."

As he said this, he no longer had the strength to stand and collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Chong, on the other hand, looked at the crypt below in shock.

I saw six naked men and women holding each other for warmth like wild animals.

It turned out that they only had one piece of clothing, which was draped on the old man.

They don't look human at all, they are numb, thin, and lifeless, let alone dignity.
