Chapter 4 The Escape From The Famine Begins
In the main room of Baijiu's four families, besides Zhufeng and others, there were also representatives of five other families. At that time, everyone sat around to discuss what to do in the future.As for the thieves at the entrance of the village, everyone kept silent.

But what happened tonight really set off a wake-up call for them. This Bailin Village really couldn't stay any longer.

"Go southeast." Zhu Feng spoke first, "You can find life in the southeast."

Bai Jiusi thought for a moment, then shook his head and objected: "No, the southeast is Yinzhou, and Yinzhou is adjacent to Mu State. Now is the time when the princes are fighting for hegemony, and the border area is the most turbulent. Wouldn't this go to the wolf's den. "

When Bai Jiusi was young, he was a merchant with a caravan. He traveled far and wide. After saving some money, he settled in Bailin Village. His family was also the most affluent in Bailin Village.His words are naturally convincing.

The other households all nodded, and one of them said: "Those who left before, they all headed towards the southwest. The southwest is the capital of Daxia. I think the only safe place now is the capital."

Bai Jiusi was silent for a while, looking at Zhuifeng, "What do you think, brother? Why do you want to go southeast? But you want to go to Yinzhou? Go to relatives?"

Chasing the wind and laughing, his family head junior sister said to go southeast, he naturally agreed with both hands and feet,
"As for me, I asked someone to make a fortune, saying that walking in the southeast direction can reveal vitality."

Bai Jiusi frowned: "These days, there are a lot of swindlers who deceive you, and you may not know if you were deceived."

God stick? ?His junior sister who is the head of the family is the second in divination, and no one in the world dares to claim the number one.mortal.

Qingyu came out, and she heard what everyone said just now, she thought for a while, saving the life of the village tonight was their good fortune, and she could no longer interfere with the fate of these people, so she said: "Father wants to go to Yinzhou Go to relatives, let's go southeast."

Bai Jiusi glanced at Zhuifeng, seemed to be questioning, Zhufeng nodded seriously: "There is a distant relative over there, if I really have nowhere to go, I will have the cheek to fight Qiufeng. But if it is good, I can still find a job there .”

Bai Jiusi stopped persuading him, and asked a few other people, and everyone expressed their willingness to follow him. Finally, they agreed to leave in two days.

Anyway, it was not on the way, not to mention that the roof of the house was gone, so the five of Qingyu discussed it and decided to leave tomorrow.

After the discussion was over, Bai Jiusi wanted to keep the five generals to sleep in the main room, but Zhui Feng waved his hand and declined, there was still their chicken soup in the empty room.

The five returned to the empty house and took turns to keep watch to dry the wet clothes. Early the next morning, they returned the clothes of Bai Jiusi's family.These days, every family has neither enough to eat nor warm clothing, and last night's mess is enough.

After returning the clothes, the family of five hurriedly packed up the belongings: five sets of cracked bowls and chopsticks, a three-legged cauldron for cooking, two wet quilts, two straw mats with rotten edges, three sickles, two A kitchen knife, a cutting board, two water bags, and others are pots, jars, tanks, and altars.

There are only a few things, so I simply bring them all. As for those tanks and the like, they are all used as water containers.When traveling outside, the most indispensable thing is water, which is even more important than food.

Zhuifeng took Wenya and Shi'an to fetch water.Qingyu and Hongtao dried the quilt first, and then started to burn the stove, but last night it was raining heavily on the stove, and they couldn't make a fire, so the surrounding smoke billowed up, and tears and snot flowed together.

The passing [-] daughter-in-law saw the black smoke billowing into the sky, thought there was a fire, and ran over in a hurry, only to see two children, one big and one small, sitting in front of the stove, black and dirty and staring.

The ninety-four daughter-in-law chuckled, urged Qingyu and Hongtao away, and started to help.

"This stove was rained last night, so it's not easy to burn. Use ours. We've already had breakfast." She fiddled with it for a long time. Although the fire did ignite, the smoke couldn't help it.

Qing Yu choked and coughed, and took the time to ask, "Where are you going, Auntie?"

The ninety-four daughter-in-law's eyelids twitched, and then she laughed, "Clean up the filth. Your ninety-fourth uncle has already gone to the village with his people. It's not unreasonable to keep coming and going."

Although in this world, killing people is as common as trampling ants to death, ordinary people are still afraid of these things, not only afraid of being pursued by the government, but also afraid of retaliation. Besides, it is their own village, with so many dead bodies Therefore, early in the morning, Bai Jiusi took the strong men of the village to bury the corpse.

Qingyu didn't ask any more questions, and my daughter-in-law of the Fourth Fourth of Nineties also tactfully stopped talking.In fact, everyone knows what happened last night. Although they don't know what this little girl did, but she was able to kill more than [-] ferocious bandits in one go, which is already incredible.The [-] daughter-in-law can only think that this girl is probably protected by an expert.

"Little" junior sister.Zhuifeng came back with two buckets of water, and seeing his daughter-in-law in [-], he swallowed the last two words, and said with reproach, "Third brother, how can I bother your aunt."

Qingyu couldn't help but help the [-]th daughter-in-law up, "Auntie, go and do your work, we can just come here. Thank you for your kindness, we will use this stove, let it burn for a while, and we can use it after it dries up."

The [-] daughter-in-law was pushed out, so she didn't insist on it anymore, and smiled, "If there is anything that needs my aunt's help, just call." But she forgot that the whole family is going to leave, so why burn it dry Use it later.

After seeing off the [-]th daughter-in-law, Zhufeng turned to the entrance of the village and said, "Everyone is busy disposing of the corpse, should we help?"

Qingyu shook her head: "When we go, it will inevitably make them feel uncomfortable. Although they didn't say it on the face, they couldn't help but panic in their hearts. After all, it's normal for so many people to die." The villagers didn't avoid them like snakes and scorpions.

Around noon, Bai Jiusi came over carrying a piece of horse meat.The three bandits headed last night rode horses, and when they died, the horses were left unclaimed.The villagers didn't know how to ride, and besides, it was too ostentatious to lead a horse in fleeing famine, which would cause disputes, so they simply killed it. After all, they were so hungry that they wanted to gnaw on the bark. This horse meat was undoubtedly life-saving.

If there is something to eat, who would refuse, Zhu Feng immediately accepts it happily.

Hongtao looked at Bai Jiusi seriously, "Uncle, listen to my advice, you must find a house with a tree in front of the main house to live in, so as to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil."

Bai Jiusi glanced at her, but didn't say anything, as if he had listened.

After noon, all the containers were finally full.Qingyu stored all the reserved water in the Xuannv Hall, leaving only two water bags outside.

In addition, the horse meat was also stored in Xuannv Hall by her. After coming to the mortal world for more than ten days, the two plates of snacks and fruits in Xuannv Hall were still the same. Qingyu concluded that Xuannv Hall has the ability to freeze time.

At that time, the quilts had been dried and everything was packed, but the sun was too big to travel, so the few decided to take a nap first, and did not prepare to set off until the sun turned low.

Zhuifeng and Wenya carried a backpack alone, bearing all the burdens.In the back basket was a bunch of things that were searched in the morning. Although these things could also be placed in the Xuannv Temple, they went on the road empty-handed and fell into the eyes of others.

After bidding farewell to other people in the village, the family of five resolutely embarked on the road of leaving their hometown with longing for the future and determination to fight the predicament to the end.

They strode forward with great pride, and joy filled their bodies: they were finally able to get out of the misery.

They were ambitious until they climbed two hills and dozens of field ridges, walked out of a mere twenty miles, and were exhausted.

Calculating the time, this journey took nearly two hours. If it was a flat road, it would have gone straight to the next village, but Bailin Village is already in a mountain depression. The journey is short and long.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark and it was hopeless to go to the next village, the five of them had to face a serious question - where to sleep tonight.

Hongtao climbed up the mountain and her legs trembled, but she saw the eager and expectant eyes of everyone, and felt that she had a great responsibility, so she endured the fatigue, waved her hands and counted, and pointed to a direction, "I found a piece Excellent geomantic treasure.”

Under the leadership of Heart, the four of them spent nearly an hour climbing up a mountain with the highest terrain and the best view. The front, back, left, and right sides are open, and you can see all kinds of lakes and seas. It is indeed a geomantic treasure, but it is a bit too high. cold.

Qingyu shuddered, her eyes were a little sour, there was nothing around, not even a place to leeward, if God had mercy, they probably wouldn't be frozen to death here tonight.

Heart was a little embarrassed, and she stepped on the ground with her feet, "There are photos in front and back, it is a treasure land of geomantic omen."

Qingyu stretched her neck slightly, took a look at the cliff in front, thought for a while, she couldn't hurt the second senior sister's heart, so she said tactfully: "We are not worthy of this geomantic treasure land, we clash, let's change places."
