Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 46 Detour

In the second half of the night last night, the two brothers, Gu Damu and Gu Dalin, had a vigil. After the third grandfather got up, he asked Uncle Tian to call their brothers back and said to them, "I don't know what's going on in Yongtai Mansion today. If you want to hurry, you have to go to bed first. , in case you have to hurry, you will also have the spirit."

Brother Gu Damu and Gu Dalin responded and took a bamboo tube of water handed over by Gu Qingtian. The two brothers took a sip each, moistened their throats, and walked into the cave, lying on the haystack of his house, ready to sleep.

After a while, the third grandfather's voice came from the entrance of the cave and asked them, "Have you seen Qin's grandfather and grandson? It's already dawn, why haven't the three of them come up yet?"

Hearing this, Gu Jinli was a little worried, afraid that the three Qin family's affairs would be revealed.

Gu Damu's answer was unexpected: "Elder Qin and the others went to Yongtai Mansion to inquire about the situation. They said they were coming back later. Let's not go and wait for them."

Gu Jinli was surprised, when did Qin Lao tell Gu Damu that they were going to Yongtai Mansion, and he still gave such a reasonable reason?

Everyone was also surprised. The third grandfather asked Gu Damu, "When did Mr. Qin tell you?"

Gu Damu said: "It was said when we met the grandparents of the Qin family at the mountain on the left before we went to bed last night."

On the left side of the cave, there is a cave that is one person deep and two meters wide. That is where several men relieved themselves, and the women went to the dry woods on the right.

When Gu Damu said this, everyone understood, and they didn't ask any more questions. They were very grateful to the three Qin family members. If they were replaced by them, they would not dare to go to Yongtai Mansion to see the situation.

Gu Jinli admired the actions of the three Qin family members. This excuse was too good. He even asked Brother Gu Damu, who was vigilant in the middle of the night, to say that, even if Brother Gu Damu patrolled down the slope in the middle of the night, he did not see the three of them. People, they wouldn't doubt anything, they just thought that the three of their grandparents and grandchildren went to Yongtai Mansion.

After the calamity that night, Lao Yan was very afraid that some of them would die again. After hearing that the three Qin family went to Yongtai Mansion to check the situation, they put their hands together and bowed to the east sky: "God bless, Mr. Qin The three brothers, grandparents and grandsons have returned safely."

After the third grandpa knew that the grandparents and grandchildren of the Qin family did not go to the cave to gather, he put it down and said to Father Luo, "Tie Zhu, go to the place where we found the water last night and bring the jar back."

They found a dripping stone crack in the mountain last night, and took half a jar of water. Before leaving, they put a jar there to collect water. After one night, they should be able to receive a lot of water.

"I'm going right now." Father Luo took a jar, a machete, and left the cave.

After Father Luo left, the third grandfather called to Gu Dashan, Uncle Tian, ​​Gu Dafu, and Gu Dagui, and went to the deep mountains to find food again.

They didn't find anything to eat last night, they ate a lot of beans, but they had to look for food diligently and fill up the 'holes' they ate.

As for Gu Qingtian, Gu Qingliang, and Gu Dexing, they stayed in the cave and did not go out to find food.

The third grandmother was very dissatisfied with this, but the third grandfather said that it is not peaceful now. He is afraid that some disaster victims will find here and hurt the women, and leave these half-sized children here. , so that others do not dare to do it easily.

Luo Wu and Gu Jinan still went to patrol under the slope.

Several girls in Gu Jinli were arranged by the third grandmother to mow the grass.

Now that the weather is cold, they don't have thick clothes, so they can cut some dead grass and weave them into straw sandals, which can also keep out the cold.

They mowed a few rounds of withered grass, and after the third grandmother and the women in charge made up some straw clothes, the three of the Qin family also came back, and their faces were all tired.

Seeing them, the third grandmother hurried up to meet them and asked Lao Qin, "Brother Qin, how is the situation in Yongtai Mansion? Can we still go that way?"

Old Qin wiped his face, calmed himself a little, shook his head and said, "Not very good, there are soldiers from Peng Changyong stationed in the outskirts of Yongtai Mansion, as long as they see anyone, they will welcome them into the mansion, but it is not a relief, but murder and robbery. ."

The faces of the third grandmother and several women changed greatly: "Well, we are still killing people? Beasts!"

Chen was most concerned about his own life and death, and hurriedly asked Mr. Qin: "What should we do now? How long do we have to hide here? There is absolutely nothing to eat in this mountain. After hiding for a long time, we will die if we run out of food. "

While talking, the third grandfather and the others also came back. Seeing the three Qin family members, they asked about the situation of Yongtai Mansion again.

Qin Lao said it again, and finally said: "We don't have to hide in the mountains, we can go down the mountain without taking the official road, bypass Yongtai Mansion from the plain, go up the Chi Road, follow the Chi Road, and pass through the six houses in Zhongzhou, then we can In Jianghuai and other places, where there is a water away from the south of the Yangtze River, the drought should not be so serious."

After a pause, Mr. Qin said again: "If the drought is still severe in Jianghuai and other places, let's cross the river and go to the hinterland of Jiangnan."

Qin Lao's remarks made everyone seem to have found the backbone. This route is too familiar. If he hadn't walked through it himself, how could he say it so clearly?

After hearing this, the third grandpa felt that the burden on him was much lighter: "Brother Qin is well-informed, let's listen to you."

Qin Laohe laughed and said, "We are running away from the famine together. No one listens to anyone else's words. If something happens, we will think of something together."

As soon as he decided to bypass Yongtai Mansion and go south, the third grandfather asked Gu Dashan and Uncle Tian to take the jar and continue to go to the stone to sew the water, as much as they could.

In the evening, everyone got together again, set the exact route, and discussed how to deal with it if something happened on the road. It was not until the beginning of the [-]th hour that everyone went to bed.

At dawn the next day, everyone got up. After the beans were roasted, each person distributed a handful of beans, and then distributed straw clothes to the younger children to keep out the cold. The group began to descend the mountain and walk outside.

Halfway up the mountain, they encountered some victims who came down from several other peaks. It seems that many victims are hiding in the mountains just like them.

No one paid any attention to anyone, just guarded their belongings and walked at a distance.

After going down the mountain, Mr. Qin took his family across the dry river where he first came and walked towards the plain in front of the dry river.

When some victims saw it, they glanced in the direction of Yongtai Mansion, and they chased after them, shouting, "Followers in front, wait a minute, where are you going?"

Several families did not speak, for fear that the victims who followed were scoundrels.

Qin Lao slowed down, and when the victims asked again, he turned his head and said to them: "The defenders of Yongtai Mansion killed Liang and took advantage of their merits. We can't go there. We have to go south through this plain."

After Mr. Qin said this, he ignored them and explained to the third grandfather: "They are all hard-working people. I can't bear them to die. Brother Gu, don't blame me."

The third grandpa shook his head: "Brother Qin doesn't need to explain, we all understand... Alas, this God is annoying."

After listening to Mr. Qin's words, the victims hurried back and told the people they knew. After a while, many victims followed behind them.

There are many smart people among the victims who know that going south is better than going east, and they have experienced the murder of officers and soldiers in Yongtai Prefecture, so more and more victims going south.

After Gu Jinli and the others bypassed Yongtai Mansion and got on the road, they saw more victims on both sides of the road, in groups that stretched for hundreds of miles. The number of people was no less than what she saw when she woke up.

Seeing so many disaster victims going south, Mr. Qin was relieved. Only when there were more disaster victims going south, the yamen would not be too strict during the registration process, and their identities would not be exposed.
