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

Eat, drink, and have a good night's sleep.

Before dawn the next day, the clan leader urged the clansmen to get up and continue on their way. They continued on their way without eating breakfast.

Cheng Yuanxi, who had dry food in hand, gave two to his parents, and the rest went to their family. Mingyi and Mingli ate the most, finishing all the meat buns and two pancakes.

Now all they have left is pancakes.

After another three days of traveling, they passed through two counties, but no one took in the refugees.

They had to move on. After another two days, they stood on the mountain and saw the boundless blue sea in the distance.

"Chief, how long do we have to go?"

A tribesman asked, "There is no drought in this land, and wild vegetables can be seen everywhere. Shall we stop here?"

"You think I don't want to stop? Isn't this a place that doesn't accept refugees? Without household registration or settlement, how can we live?" The clan leader is anxious. The clan members don't understand, so forget it. Each one of them seems to be the master of those officials. The patriarch's temper rose.

Mingyi looked at her brother silently.

Cheng Mingli looked at her and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, sister, there will always be a way."

"I'm not worried." With so many refugees, there will definitely be more behind them, and officials can't just sit idly by.

Either they accept the refugees and resettle them wherever they want, or they drive them out. There will always be a conclusion.

Mingyi's guess was correct. As soon as the Cheng family came from the mountain to a remote county, the county officials got the news. There were only so many people in a small place, and the population basically knew each other. Once outsiders arrived, they would be immediately people discovered.

Moreover, there are so many of them that the county town cannot enter, so officials will naturally know about the arrival of the refugees as soon as possible.

"Let's get some food here first. The village chief and I will go to the county town to see if we can get in." The clan leader didn't finish what he said. Whether he could get in was unknown, but he had to go.

Cheng Yuanxi wanted to follow, but Mingyi held him back, "Dad, I'm a little sleepy. You and your brother stay with me."

Cheng Yuanxi: Wouldn’t it be better to find a more reasonable excuse?
"Yiyi, you don't want dad to go to the county seat?"

Mingyi couldn't avoid it, so she faced her father's question directly, "Dad, there is a clan leader and a village chief."

The county officials have not made any move so far, and the possibility of accepting them is very low.

"Yeah." Cheng Yuanxi didn't ask anymore. The village chief is old, and the clan leader is not too old, so he should be able to handle it.

When the clan leader and village chief walked to the gate of the county town, they were stopped by officers and soldiers guarding the outside.

"Master, we want to ask if we can enter the county town. We want to buy some food. We have run out of food along the way. If we don't have food, we won't be able to survive."

The village chief has a bitter old face and is very sad.

The four officers and soldiers shook their heads and said, "The county magistrate has not said anything. He cannot let you in. You should leave quickly."

"Where else can we go from here?"

"Go further away." An older officer said kindly: "The county magistrate has sent people to Fucheng. We are waiting for a reply."

The clan leader and village chief understood that if the city agreed to take them in, the county would take them in; if the city did not agree, they would have no way out.I don’t know if it’s good news or bad news.

A mixture of good and bad.

Unable to enter the county seat, the clan leader and village chief led their people to find a relatively flat place to settle down not far from the county seat. There are many wild vegetables here; it takes only a cup of tea to walk to the seaside. Cheng Dazhu knew some edible seafood. Picking up some seafood can also satisfy your hunger.

Mingyi and Cheng Mingli often go to the mountains. They have knives, pots and fires, so they can eat a bite of meat even if it doesn't rain. They can also bring some meat back for Cheng Yuanxi and his wife to eat, and Mingyi also puts a lot of meat quietly roasted in his space. Good game.

The dried meat at home was gone, the pancakes were gone, and the food supply was dwindling rapidly. Mingyi also felt a sense of urgency. Cheng Mingli was often with her and noticed the changes in her.

Mingyi would secretly pick up some seafood and eat the game without eating it all. He would roast part of it and put it in the space for later use, and leave half of it outside to make marinated meat. At least, he would contribute some food to the family.

As time passed, the tribesmen also noticed Mingyi's movements.

On this day, the clan leader was begged by the clan members to come to Cheng Yuanxi and talk about the comings and goings of Cheng Mingyi's brother and sister in the past few days, and then they got to the main topic.

"Yuan Xi! You see, so many of us are almost out of food. Where did Mingyi and the others find the game? Can they bring the clan members with them?"

"Just think of it as saving their lives." The village chief agreed, "We don't want to always take advantage of you, but there is really no other way; the tribesmen go to the beach to find food and there is less and less food. When the tide is high, there’s one more bite to eat.”

Cheng Yuanxi felt that he was not a capable person. He and his wife now relied on their children to have enough food, and they could not put more burdens on their children.

"Yuan Xi, please help me, our people can't starve to death." The village chief lowered his face and begged.

"Village chief, it's not that I don't want to help, but my children are risking their lives to find food in the mountains." As a father, he couldn't say anything to ask his children to hand over the good place they got to the clan.

What's more, he didn't think that his children had discovered a treasure, but that they were willing to go into the mountains to find game.

The clan leader's face was solemn, with a hint of sadness in his tone, "The clan members are really out of food. They rely on wild vegetables and a little bit of seafood to feed themselves every day; if there is no other food, they will really starve to death." of."

"Our family is similar. The food supply at home has long been at the bottom; the children felt sorry for me and their mother that we didn't have enough to eat, so they risked their own safety and went into the mountains to find food." Cheng Yuanxi looked sad, with guilt in his eyes.

The clan leader and village chief felt very uncomfortable when he saw them.

If there was a way, they wouldn't come to his house; who would have an easier time if we walked together on the road to escape?It's just that Cheng Yuanxi now relies on his children to have enough food.

"Then you see, your children have been running in the mountains for several days and should be familiar with the mountain terrain. Why don't you let your Mingyi Mingli take everyone into the mountains? It's up to them to find food."

After being recommended several times, the clan leader and village chief have taken a step back. If he continues to be arrogant, it will be somewhat unjustifiable.

"We have to wait until Yiyi and the others come back to discuss this matter." Even so, Cheng Yuanxi didn't want to agree.

Both children are people with ideas. If you really want to show kindness, let the children come forward.

"Okay." After a little hesitation, the clan leader gritted his teeth and agreed.

The two of them didn't leave either. They sat with Cheng Yuanxi and made up their minds to wait for Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Mingli to return.

In the evening, Cheng Mingli and his sister returned with a roasted hare wrapped in oil paper. What they saw was the clan leader and village chief chatting with their father at their house.

"Mom and Dad, we're back." Cheng Mingli hugged the hare tightly, while Mingyi rushed over with empty hands.
