Escape from the Famine

Chapter 17

Chi Yu was teaching the baby to write on the ground when a tall figure stood in front of him.

"Girl, I'm here to make amends."

Zhao Gang cupped his fists and saluted.

They were the ones who were rude earlier, so they should come to make amends.

Chi Yu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, this guy is still a sweetheart.

"No need! Where are you going?"

Chi Yu found that there was an ox cart inside them, and the ox was also skinny, so it was fine to pull the cart.

It would be good if you can follow them all the way in an ox cart, and buy a carriage when you get to a safer city.

Zhao Gang was taken aback, "Oh, we are going to Spring Valley, I heard there is no war there."

Their village was destroyed by the war, and when they heard that Spring Valley was a paradise, they took the dozens of people who were still alive in the village and started fleeing.

Chi Yu's eyes are shining brightly, this is just on the way!
"We are also going to Spring Valley, so shall we go together?"

"It just so happens that I ride in your bullock cart?"

Chi Yu stared at the ox cart over there with wretched eyes, as if he wanted to eat that ox.

Zhao Gang was taken aback for a moment, the girl's staring eyes couldn't be more like wanting to eat their only property in the village, right?

How about that!
"Girl, you can't eat that cow! It's against the law to slaughter a cow without permission!"

Zhao Gang hurriedly blocked Chi Yu's eyes, this girl didn't want to ride in their ox cart, did she want to eat the ox?

Chi Yu blinked. Are her eyes so obvious?

"Don't worry, I don't know how to eat beef. We are also going to Spring Valley, so let's go together! I am tired from walking and want to take your ox cart?"

Chi Yu was confused by him, she really didn't want to eat beef!
Is it so difficult if she just wants to ride an ox cart?

"Ah? Really? That's the only property in our village! You can ride an ox cart, but you're not allowed to eat it."

Zhao Gang scratched his head foolishly, it's easy to say if he doesn't eat cows.

"Then do you want to go back and discuss with your people? What if they don't agree with me taking the bullock cart?"

Chi Yu had seen it, the bullock cart had pots and pans on it, and the two children didn't ride in the bullock cart.

If she suddenly went to ride in someone else's ox cart, wouldn't she be held hostage?
"No need! It was our benefactor who saved us just now, so I can still take the bullock cart."

Zhao Gang smiled heartily.

If it weren't for the things they ate just now, the people in their village would really starve to death.

"Alright then! The heat at noon has passed, so let's set off!"

Chi Yu wanted to get to the destination as soon as possible, so the life of fleeing from famine was really unbearable.

"That? Let's go now?"

Zhao Gang turned his head and glanced at the villagers, all of them had no energy left.

They didn't bring much water, and they wanted to rest for a while!
Chi Yu sighed helplessly, "There is a river over there, go get water! Add this potion to the water and you can drink it."

Along the way, many people dared not drink the water when they saw the stream. Many dead people died by the water, and the stream was polluted.

Aunt Li and the others are able to drink water all relying on the potions of Chiyu.

"Okay! I'm going to fetch water now!"

Zhao Gang took the potion and took people to get water from the stream over there.

He believed in the words of the fish in the pond, and he saw that all the water they drank was brought back from the stream.

"Gangzi, is this water really drinkable?"

Zhao Zhuzi looked at the water in the pot and was afraid to drink it.

In the past, the villagers in their village drank the mountain stream, and died of abdominal pain and diarrhea not long after on the road.

People in their entire village dare not drink the streams in these mountains any more.

Looking at the clear water in the clay pot, they dare not drink it.

"Don't worry, you can drink the potion given by your benefactor if you put it in this water?"

Zhao Gang was the first to take a sip from the clay pot. He believed that the woman would not harm them.

"Brother Gang, be careful!"

Zhao Xiaoyan licked her dry lips and shouted anxiously.

What would she do if something happened to Zhao Gang?
"It's okay, hurry up and drink some! Then take some on your way! It just so happens that your benefactor is also going to Spring Valley, so let's go together."

Zhao Gang took the bamboo tube to the river to fill the water.

Now I can still meet the stream, maybe I will not meet any water in the future.

Zhao Zhuzi also had a full drink in his clay pot, "It's cool! I haven't drank so much water for a long time!"

Zhao Quan, the village head, saw that it was all right after drinking the spring water, so he began to invite people to drink water, "Hurry up and let's go on our way."

He believed that Gangzi would not harm them.

"Yes!" A group of people lined up around clay pots to get water.

Chi Yu looked at them from a distance, and they were fairly disciplined.

Zhao Gang filled up all the bottles and cans that could hold water, and asked the people on his side to put them away, before going to Chiyu's side.

"Girl, I'm Zhao Gang, we're leaving now, do you want to go together?"

Since he promised to let her make a bullock cart, he will not break his promise.

It seems that this girl is very obsessed with riding an ox cart.

Chi Yu hugged the child and said, "My name is Chi Yu, so let's go."

She was so tired that she really wanted to take a ride in the car to rest.

Li Yi took his mother and went to the team in Zhaojia Village.

Zhao Quan watched Zhao Gang leading three people approaching, "Gangzi, this is?"

There are only dozens of people left in their village, and they have nothing to eat. It might not be appropriate to add these few outsiders.

Zhao Gang introduced: "Village chief, they gave us our food just now, and she is the savior of our village."

Only then did Zhao Quan look at Chi Yu, who was carrying a child. He hadn't seen it clearly from a distance just now, but now he will see it clearly. She is also a thin woman.

"Thank you benefactor for the food, if you don't dislike us, let's go on the road together? I heard Gang Zi said that you are also going to Spring Valley?"

Zhao Quan had no choice but to let them join at this time, after all, they saved the lives of the whole village with food just now.

"Exactly, I just want to sit in your ox cart and rest, and we will leave after the next city."

Chi Yu is very persistent about riding an ox cart.

She has never taken such a backward vehicle before coming here!Want to try what it feels like.

Zhao Quan was a little dumbfounded, the only property in the village was not willing to sit, so it was fine to let her sit for the sake of food.

"That's fine! Benefactor, get in the car!"

Zhao Quan ordered someone to pack up the ox cart and set it aside, and Chi Yu unceremoniously sat on it with the child in his arms.

Sure enough, it was not that comfortable, but it was still better than walking by herself.

The baby is also curiously looking at the bullock cart, he has never been in a bullock cart!
The rest of Zhaojia Village didn't say anything, after all, they were benefactors of their village.

Zhao Xiaoyan was not happy, why would people in their own village not be willing to ride an ox cart, but an outsider could?
Remembering that they still have food, I swallowed my breath.

Maybe these people still need their food to save their lives.

Li Yi protects the food in his arms, as if he is holding some treasure. If these people come up to grab it, he can still protect it.

Seeing that Chi Yu had sat down, Zhao Quan ordered people to start the journey.

They don't know where the next stop will be, and they can only take one step at a time.

Zhao Zhuzi was leading the way, Zhao Gang stayed behind, and it happened to be him who was driving the car.

　(_)come on.
