Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

The remaining meat was torn open, wrapped in dead leaves, and each person put a package into his arms and walked back; as for the oily hands, there was no place to wash them, so he could only wipe them on the weeds twice, then stand at the foot of the mountain and let them disperse in the wind. Taste.

The smell of meat dissipated from their bodies, and the two little brothers and sisters went back to their parents and lay down. With the faint light of the night, they first looked around to see if anyone was awake. After making sure that no one was awake, they reached out to push their parents beside them. .

Cheng Yuanxi and his wife were agitated and subconsciously wanted to shout, but Mingyi hurriedly spoke to stop them.

"Mom and dad, don't shout."

The two of them lowered their heads to look at their children and wiped the sweat from their faces, "It's you!"

Cheng Mingli smiled apologetically, but Cheng Yuanxi and his wife couldn't see his apology.

"Father, mother, my sister has caught another prey. It is already roasted. Come with us to the foot of the mountain to eat and then come back." The smell of meat will spread out here. What should others do if they wake up after smelling it? No distinction?
Chen Daya calmed down and said, "You two keep it to eat. Mom and dad are not hungry."

"Oh, mother, my brother and I have eaten and left it specially for you." Mingyi rushed over and whispered in her ear.

Cheng Yuanxi sat next to Chen Daya. He could hear his daughter's words and smiled, "You two went to the mountains again in the middle of the night. It's so dark that you can't see the road in the mountains. Don't go there again, dad." Mom will be worried."

"Dad, it's not that I want to go, it's just that I'm too hungry." He sighed in a mocking tone, "The porridge at home is useless. I'm so hungry that I can't sleep. I have to eat something to sleep."

Cheng Mingli pinched her little face distressedly, "Dad said that we still have half a month to get to the coastal area, and there is a long road ahead."

"Yes! It's still growing." Mingyi was also sad.

Not having enough to eat and not dying of hunger, I dragged my life on the road.

"What are you worrying about, little girl? Don't we have something to eat? We have to stop and rest every night. My parents will find a place to cook with you." Chen Daya hugged her daughter distressedly. Her original plan was not going to work.

Fifty kilograms of food would not last long if eaten open. Saving some food would also require food when settling in a certain place. She thought that saving a little bit would at least leave a way out for the future.

But I didn't expect my daughter to be so hungry.

There is nothing I can do during the day, but I can always give my children a full meal at night.

Cheng Yuanxi nodded and said softly, "The food is saved to take up space. Pushing it is tiring. After eating, dad can easily push the cart."

Mingyi burst into laughter. Cheng Mingli felt uneasy because Mingyi was so hungry that she had to go out to find food. He couldn't help laughing after hearing Cheng Yuanxi's words.

In the end, Cheng Yuanxi and his wife did not eat the roast rabbit and asked them to keep it for themselves.

After that, at night, Cheng Yuanxi and his wife would bring a pot and some water and find a place to cook a pot of porridge, so that the family would be full.

Cheng Yuandong and others didn't notice it even once. They were very tired from traveling during the day. As long as they didn't shout specifically, they wouldn't wake up.

Fifty kilograms of food seems like a lot, but it only lasts for ten days. Cheng Mingli and Mingyi's appetite is increasing day by day. They only have one full meal a day, so they naturally eat more to allow their bodies to keep up with the level of consumption. .

"It's almost time. We still have a few days to reach Yanhai."

Cheng Yuanxi rambled.

Chen Daya also looked worried, "I wonder if there are any towns ahead."

"There should be something ahead. We have been walking all the way, and the drought on the ground has eased a day ago. It seems that there is no drought ahead, and even if there is, it will be very mild. People in the town will not flee unless they have to. "

Cheng Yuanxi's guess was right. They walked for another two days, and the situation got better and better along the way. Finally, they saw inhabited towns within the Yanhai area. However, there were also many people fleeing the famine, and they were surrounded by outside the city.

"You have to pay a city fee to enter the city, one tael per person." The village chief came back from the city gate, frowning; not everyone in the clan has money, and it takes one tael to enter the city, and there is no extra. Money buys food.The hearts of the tribesmen were so cold.

"One tael of silver per person?"

"They are stealing money!"

"Where can we get so much money?"

"If we want to go to a place near the sea, we must either go through the city or go around the city and go up the mountain; they are trying to make money from disaster. If we don't want to go through the mountain, we have to pay to enter the city."

The place where they are now can only be regarded as the edge of Yanhai.

"But we have no food, so we have to buy some food."

"If you have food, you can take a detour from the mountains. You have to go there anyway. Chief, please organize a few people to go to the city to buy food!"

"Yes, clan leader, organize people to go to the city to buy food."

The clan leader shook his head, "It's not that simple. It's not certain whether or how much food we will have after we enter the city."

If you can't buy enough grain, it's of little use to go to the city; and you won't necessarily be able to sell the grain to them if you go in. It's impossible for the city officials to know about the drought. If they control the right to purchase grain, They paid for nothing to go in.

Moreover, the city only said that you can pay money to enter the city, but it did not say that the victims would be resettled.

The clan leader did not say these words clearly, but the village chief understood it, and Cheng Dazhu's family also understood it; anyone with a little bit of brains understood it, but those who were lucky enough to survive would not think so much.

"If you can buy a little bit, maybe you can buy them all."

"Head, please hurry up and send someone in to buy food. What if you are late and run out of food? With so many victims gathered here, who knows if they have sent people into the city to buy food."

"No matter what the quarrel is, just shut up and let the clan leader and village chief discuss it."

"What's wrong with our quarrel? We can't even open the pot at home. If there's no more food, we'll all starve to death."

"Okay, let's stop talking. Let's wait for the clan leader and village chief to make a decision; they have more knowledge than us, so let's listen and everyone should calm down and avoid internal strife."

An old man spoke, and the others calmed down. Even if they didn't like each other during the quarrel, they stopped talking; they just stared at the clan leader and village chief, waiting for them to speak.

The clan leader and the village chief discussed it head to head for a while, but couldn't make up their minds for a while.

The two looked at each other and turned to look for Cheng Yuanxi.

Cheng Yuanxi was talking to his daughter and son. He didn't see the two coming over at all, but Mingyi caught a glimpse of them.

"Dad, the clan leader and village chief are here."

After hearing this, Cheng Yuanxi looked back and saw the clan chief and village chief coming together. Seeing that they were looking at him, he knew they were here to see him. He stopped chatting with his children and stood up to greet them.

"Clan chief, village chief, why are you two here?"

"We came to you to discuss the matter of selling grain into the city. It costs one tael of silver per person to enter the city. This is a big deal; many families in the clan cannot afford one tael of silver to enter the city, let alone one family. The population is quite large, so it’s impossible to walk from the city, so we can only buy food and take a detour through the mountains.”

"Nowadays, you may not be able to buy food when you go to the city. If you can't buy food, the cost of going to the city will be in vain!"
