Old Man Xu escaped from famine when he was a child. Everyone here knows that he has experience, so everyone is subconsciously willing to listen to him.
Another thing is that Old Man Xu has three sons and three grandsons. They are all tall and strong, and all of them are good workers. Some people just have confidence, so you are right to listen to him.
Therefore, Old Man Xu said that two people from each family should keep vigil at night. Immediately, several families agreed without hesitation and sent people one after another.
Then, Xu Chunlin and five other men formed a circle back to back and sat in the middle, each facing a direction. Here, their belongings were placed in a circle.
Sitting here, looking at the belongings, I can also see the movements of other people. If someone touches me, they will definitely see it.
The other six men serve as a reserve team. They can sleep in the first half of the night and get up in the second half of the night to replace them.
There should be seven families in total, but only six came out because Old Man Xu counted Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhang as one family.
Uncle Zhang only had one son. If two people were to keep watch at night, both father and son would have to go. It would be unbearable to have to go out and watch every night on the way to escape the desert.
So Old Man Xu asked their two families to combine to create two people. Uncle Zhang had two sons. In this way, the five people could be exchanged.
There are many men in the Xu family, but old man Xu himself can't go out, and he also keeps Xu Dajun, so the six people who need to keep vigil are Xu Chunhe, Xu Chunshan and Xu Sanlang, who are ranked third.
There was no need to keep vigil tonight, so Xu Chunshan protected his wife. Next to her was her daughter, and next to her was her son. The family of four stood close together.
Mrs. Xu looked longingly in this direction and curled her lips. She was happy that her son and daughter-in-law had changed and stopped being monsters. However, her grandson stopped kissing her and went to live next to his parents.
Alas, that's it, the third child and the two are incompatible. Rokuro has never felt the love of his parents since he was a child. Now that he's fine, he wants to kiss his son, so just go for it.
As long as she is good to Rokuro, she will not interfere with him.
It was originally a piece of green grass, but after being invaded by locusts, it was left bare and covered with grass roots.
Xu Yinyin's feet seemed to be no longer hers. She was tired physically, mentally, and mentally. For a while, she didn't care about the environment anymore, and soon she fell asleep from exhaustion.
The first night of my escape was spent peacefully.
When the sky was still dark, there was already movement on the grass.
Everyone packed up and continued on their way.
Even after a night's rest, Xu Yinyin's feet and legs immediately became heavy as soon as she lifted her feet to walk.
Zhang Xiulan is not much better. Her soul can endure this kind of suffering, but her body is used to eating and being lazy, so she really doesn't have the consciousness to endure this kind of suffering.
Mother and daughter, you held my arm and I held yours as they walked forward. Seeing this made Xu Chunshan feel sad.
Although his body used to be lazy, he is a man, he has strength, and his foundation is there. Coupled with the hardship in his soul, he is doing okay now.
So he simply took Zhang Xiulan's hand and used his strength to pull her. Zhang Xiulan held her daughter again, which made it easier.
The old man Xu in front looked back, his eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything. This third child always loves his wife and daughter, otherwise he would be eating in a gang without Liu Lang.
I feel sorry for my daughter-in-law and daughter that they can’t walk anymore. It’s normal.
Ma and Zhou looked at it with a little envy. If nothing else, the three younger siblings were really lucky.
Xu Chunhe and Xu Chunlin looked at their third brother's actions. Although they wanted to do the same, they felt that holding hands with their wife was too embarrassing with so many people, so they couldn't let go.
We rested twice along the way, and then we stopped when the sun reached high in the sky and became extremely hot.
By this time they were far away from Dama Town, and there were many more refugees along the way.
There are so many people stopping to rest in this area that they can no longer be estimated.
Mrs. Xu's actions when taking out the cornbread seemed to be sneaky and like a thief.
Just because as soon as many refugees stopped, they didn't immediately rest in place, but scattered in all directions, trying their best to peel off the bark of trees and pull the roots of grass. There was no grinding of flour, no wowotou, no wowotou, but just like this
have eaten.
As you can imagine, they had nothing to eat and could only rely on local food to satisfy their hunger every time they stopped.
Mrs. Xu was afraid that someone would come to snatch their dry food, so she hurriedly counted fourteen and tied up the sack again.
Seeing the movements of these refugees, Xu Yinyin squeezed the hard dough and felt that she could swallow it without hypnotizing herself.
Compared with chewing tree bark and grass roots, this steamed bun is really not that good.
Today, the dry food for the Zhou family and the Shi family has changed from one for each man yesterday, and half for the women and children.
Old Man Xu saw this and sighed but said nothing.
Although it was my uncle's house, they didn't have much dry food. If I really had to drag the Zhou family to share the dry food, they would all be out of food within two days.
Therefore, even if he knew, he could only pretend that he didn't know.
The sun above her head made people want to stretch out their bodies, and Xu Yinyin's throat was dry and she had no desire to open her mouth.
So thirsty.
The only way to feel better is to lie still and avoid moving your eyes, as if this way.
"Tong, aren't there the animals and plants you want around here?"
she asked in her mind.
If it weren't for the golden halo in her mind, she would have thought it was an illusion. Since it's a system, please roll it up!
You don’t want to complete the mission and return to your planet?
Give me some information and let me help you find something!
My request is not high, I just want to change the bottle of water.
Half a bottle of water is fine.
real.
[No.]
Tongzi ruthlessly shattered her expectations.
Xu Yinyin simply closed her eyes and struggled.
After a nap, I slept until the sun got a little better, so I woke up and continued on my way.
Along the way, everyone found that in many places they passed, the trees had been peeled off and were bare.
This also means that before their group of refugees, there are people who have already passed by, and there are quite a few of them.
The people who fled the famine thought much more than Old Man Xu. There were millions of people in Yunzhou, and Wuning Mansion was originally located in Jiangzhou. Their Dawang Village side was almost on the tail of Yunzhou. Those who were ahead of them
There are many people, which is normal.
He just took a little luck and thought that they escaped earlier than the villagers, so it was too early.
But in the end, he was early, and someone was earlier than him. At this moment, he had given up hope that he would be able to grab water and wild vegetables as soon as he left Yunzhou's territory, as long as there were still some.
Don't hug those who are walking in front, and don't leave any space for those who are behind.
After walking twenty miles in the afternoon, when the sun was setting and we were looking for a place to rest, the women and children of the Zhou family and the Shi family also joined the large team of peeling bark and looking for grass roots.
When Old Man Xu saw this, he asked the old woman to arrange for someone from his family to go too.
Xu Yinyin was already very tired, but in order to have a drink of water, she gritted her teeth and followed Wuya.
