Chapter 172
A white-haired elder on the kang looked at Lianzhi with uncertainty on his face and asked,
"Girl, you said that our home is two hundred miles away from here. Is it true! Are you really sure?"

They walked around the mountains for two or three days, how far this place is from their hometown, and to be honest, they themselves have long been dizzy.

A few people were discussing just now, and after a while, they will inquire with the people in this village, which direction is their hometown?
They have to go home quickly, how should they go back?Is it too late?I still don't know...

The one sitting in the middle of the kang, Lian Zhi felt that besides the white-haired one, he was the oldest among them, and they would look at him every time they talked, and they had the right to speak.

"Girl, to be honest, we have been dizzy for a long time in the mountains, and we still don't distinguish between east, west, north and south, and our brains are muddled!"

Lian Zhi looked at them and nodded affirmatively, "Well, it's true, I've already inquired about it before, my uncle knows your place."

"Oh, two hundred miles..."

Speaking of the person sitting in the middle of the kang here, he lowered his head and meditated for a while, then looked at the other people around him and said slowly,

"It will take three days to ride in a carriage if the road conditions are unknown. If you have to walk, you have to rest in the middle and it will take seven or eight days to go back..."

After hearing what he said, the people around looked at him with worried faces.

Seven or eight days?How can you not worry?After all, it is not seven or eight days away from 20 days...

"Don't worry, it's too late, we'll just take a carriage!"

Lianzhi looked at them and said something, and at the same time put the corn porridge that Aunt Lian had handed over on the plate on the kang for them.

"My uncle said, it's almost two or three days to go to your place by carriage. You can rest here for two or three days, and then bring some food, and then go back in the carriage. Don't worry, it will definitely be in time!"

As he spoke, he scooped polenta into bowls for them.

"Girl, you know that we escaped from famine, look at us, how can we have money to hire a carriage!"

Hearing the words of the person sitting in the middle of the kang, the people around began to discuss in low voices, and at the same time, a young man in his 30s and [-]s said to Lian Zhi with an embarrassed expression on his face,

"Isn't it? I can't even eat. Where can I find the money to hire a carriage!"

After saying this, he looked at the person sitting in the middle and said,

"Uncle, why don't we leave after this meal? I'm afraid that my mother and my brother won't be able to wait at home. They only have enough food for a few days..."

As soon as the words came out, everyone sitting around agreed. They were very afraid that if they didn't go back, they might not be able to see their family members for the last time...

"Yes! Let's go quickly! I'm also afraid that my mother-in-law and the child won't be able to wait!"

"Hey, I think we'd better leave quickly!"

The older man sitting in the middle of the kang looked at Lian Zhi and at Aunt Lian who was just coming in from the door with a plate of radish in his hand.

He wanted to talk to them, to see if he could give them something to eat, but he hesitated and couldn't do it...

After all, they had already eaten so much, and they even gave them clean clothes. Thinking about it, it was really difficult to say this, but for the sake of the life and death of the family, what is face?
The man mustered up his courage and was about to raise his head to ask for it, when he heard Lian Zhi speak to them first...
