Chapter 38 Quarrel

"Going south?" The third grandfather frowned deeply, took the letter handed over by Gu Jinli, and called to Gu Jinan: "Brother An, come and have a look."

The third grandfather didn't know many words and could not understand what was written on it. Gu Jinan pointed to the words on the letter paper and told him word by word. After Gu Jinan finished speaking, the third grandfather frowned even more deeply.

Gu Dafu also frowned and said: "Why do you want to go south? Our ancestors in Gujia Village are from Yangjifu in the east. This time we escaped from the famine to go back to our ancestral land. If we go south, we will be farther and farther away from our ancestral land. ."

Before the village began to flee the famine, his father had discussed with the villagers that he wanted to return to the ancestral land of Yangji, and the villagers agreed, so they kept going east.

"Besides, all the victims are heading east, so let's go south. Isn't this separate from everyone? What if something happens?" Gu Dafu is a relatively rigid person. He has experienced the killing of half of the villagers. After the catastrophe, he tended to be more conservative, that is, he honestly followed the route set by the village chief.

After fleeing from the famine for a few months, he was already familiar with the victims who fled the famine together. If he suddenly separated from the victims, he would feel flustered.

Chen Shi was also reluctant to go south. Hearing Gu Dafu's words, he stabbed Gu Dagui with his elbow. After seeing that Gu Dagui ignored her, he simply said to himself, "Sanbo, we can't go south. I heard that the southerners are bullying students. If we go, If you go to the south, you will be bullied to death by the southerners."

Gu Dagui scolded: "What do you know, bitch? Hurry up and shut up. People from the south bully students, but people from Yangji Prefecture don't bully them? As long as they leave their hometown, they will be bullied when they settle down there."

When Mr. Chen heard Gu Dagui's words, he pouted and said nothing.

The third grandpa looked at Gu Jinli and asked, "Xiaoyu, why did the eldest young master of the Qi residence let us go south?"

Looking at the few families present, especially the brothers Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui, he said, "The eldest young master of Qi's house is a master, and he has knowledge. He can leave this letter to Xiaoyu, which shows that he sincerely wants to remind us. "

The third grandpa said this to protect Gu Jinli.After all, she is a ten-year-old child, and some things are better not to be blamed on her.

Several adults nodded and said to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, tell us, why did the eldest young master of Qi's mansion remind us to go south?"

Gu Jinli said: "It's too cold in the east. I heard that the Yangji Mansion in the east will snow in autumn. At the coldest time, there is ice everywhere, which can freeze a person to death. Now it's early autumn, let's go east, not yet. When you arrive at Yangji Mansion, you will freeze to death."

Several adults were startled when they heard this.Father Luo walked past the dart. He was well-informed and had heard about the cold in the east, so he said, "Xiaoyu is right, there are places in the east where it really snows in autumn, and it's very cold."

Old Qin also said: "I went to Yangji Mansion a few times when I was young. It was really cold there. When it came to winter, it was freezing cold. The people didn't dare to go out. They all stayed at home."

He looked at the clothes of several families and said to the third grandfather, "Brother Gu, we don't have winter clothes to keep out the cold now. If we go east, we'll freeze to death before we reach Yangji Mansion."

As soon as Mr. Qin said this, the family members were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

The third grandmother looked at everyone's clothes and said in fear, "Then we can't go to Yangji Mansion, we will freeze to death on the road."

Chen shi looked at the clothes on their family of four, thinking that they might freeze to death if they went to the east, and was so frightened that they didn't dare to talk any more.

Gu Dafu also hesitated.

Gu Jinli took the opportunity to say: "Not only is it cold in the east, but there are also many victims. The victims of the seven northwestern prefectures went east in batches and ate all the food they could eat. We haven't reached Yongtai mansion yet, and we can find food on the way. Only leaves and grass roots are left. If we go further east, what will we eat? Either freeze to death or starve to death.”

Yongtai Mansion is the dividing line between the northwest and the northeast. After passing Yongtai Mansion, it is considered to be in the northeast. If you go east for three months, you will find Yangji Mansion.

Qin Lao seemed to be reluctant to go east, so he took Gu Jinli's words and said, "It is very easy for disaster victims to have accidents. When everyone is hungry and anxious, the victims will start to grab food. Most of the wicked people in the past few days are from The victims who fled the famine were so hungry that they picked up their hoes and shovels to kill people and rob things."

Qin Lao paused and continued: "Those wicked people are also heading east, right in front of us. If we go further east, we might run into them."

Everyone was still afraid of the wicked people a few days ago, and when they heard Old Qin's words, their faces turned pale.

Chen was the first to say, "Then why are we going east? Don't go, it's too dangerous, let's go to the south."

When Qin Erlang heard Old Qin's words, he glanced at him anxiously and held back what he wanted to say.

Gu Jinli continued: "There's nothing wrong with the south. It's warm there. I heard that there is a lot of rain and there is very little drought. If we go to the south, we will definitely have a good time. At least we don't have to worry about drinking water."

Father Luo nodded in agreement: "The south is indeed warmer than the north, and there is plenty of rain. I heard that some people don't plant sorghum or wheat, but paddy with water in the fields."

"The field is full of water?!" Chen was shocked. There was a shortage of water in the northwest, and all crops were dry land. She had lived half her life, and she had never heard that the fields could be filled with water before growing crops.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go to the south." Mrs. Chen was so envious when she heard that the south was rich in water and not dry, and wished she could go to the south to settle down now.

The third grandpa looked at Gu Dafu and asked, "Dafu, what do you say? Are you going to the east or the south?"

The chances of going to the east are too high to freeze to death and starve to death. Half of the villagers in Gujia Village have died, and they can't afford to die anymore.Gu Dafu hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, and said with tears, "Let's go to the south."

When they have a future in the south, and then go back to the ancestral land of Yangji Mansion, it will be his father's wish.

The third grandfather asked Gu Dashan and Luo Fu again, and after seeing that they all agreed, he said: "If this is the case, then we will go south, but this matter is decided by our family together, and it has nothing to do with Xiaoyu, if we go. The south is not doing well, and none of you can blame Xiaoyu."

As the son of the village chief Gu, Gu Dafu already regarded himself as the village chief of Gujia Village. Hearing this, he was the first to say: "Don't worry, Sanbo, we won't blame Xiaoyu."

After hearing this, the third grandfather nodded in satisfaction. The family said a few words. After arranging the night watchman, they spread weeds on the ground and began to rest.

In the middle of the night, Gu Jinli and Luo Huiniang got up at night, and when they walked into the dry grass, they vaguely heard a quarrel.

"We agreed to go to Yangji Mansion to find Uncle Liu Shi, why go to the south? We have no foundation in the south, so what's the use of going to the south?!" This was Qin Erlang's voice. He was very excited, his voice was full of anger and anger. unwilling.

"Second brother, grandpa is right. We don't know what's going on on Uncle Liu's side. It's easy to get into trouble if we go there rashly. It's better to go to the south side first, and then send a letter to Uncle Liu when we settle down in the south side."

"Shut up, I'm not your second brother." Qin Erlang almost shouted: "It's not your family who died, of course you are not in a hurry to take revenge!"

"Erlang, shut up." This was Old Qin's scolding.

 Thank you for the support of the small public, what da ^0^. PS: Originally, there were not so many escapes, but in order to be more realistic, I added a few chapters, but don’t worry, the escape is coming to an end, and the chapter on settling and farming is about to begin.
