Don't panic when fleeing famine, the farm system is busy raising cubs to get rich

Chapter 52
The people who went to find the way didn't come back until dark, but they brought two pieces of news.

One good news and one bad news.

The good news is that the distance ahead is not very far, but there is no shortage of water in the city!
Everyone who heard it burst into cheers.

But the bad news is that the front is not Anyang Fucheng at all, but Oasis City.

"What? Oasis City? Where is that?" Li Zheng had never heard of it.

"We went in the wrong direction. Anyang Fucheng is in the southeast, so we went in the northeast direction." An Youde who went to explore the road said.

Now everyone is panicking, what should we do?Liulin County was originally under the jurisdiction of Anyang Prefecture, but now they are going in the opposite direction, what should they do?
"Then if we walk back to Anyang Mansion, won't we have to walk for a month to get there?" At this time, someone next to him asked, "It's been more than ten days since I walked in the opposite direction..."

Now everyone was crying and discussing, everyone was panicked and anxious.

"Youde, how did you get the news? How far is Oasis City? Is it really coming soon?" The patriarch ignored the crying and complaining villagers and asked his son the question.

An Youde shook his head, "Where is such a good thing, Dad, we just came across a caravan after we left the mountain road, and the third brother was bold enough to ask about it! It seems that we have to go to Oasis City Three days’ journey, if it’s the speed of our village, it’s not five or six days?”

five or six days...

Everyone was a little terrified when they heard this number, five or six days, in their current situation, can they go to Oasis City?
Not to mention the rations, there is no water here, how can I get there?
It’s not that there’s no water source in the mountains, but it’s too dirty or too shallow to be full of mud, and there’s not much drinkable water at all.

"But Dad, the people in the caravan said that the water problem can be solved a little further. Although there is also a drought here, the wells are all producing water, but the grain grains are not harvested! It is said that it only started this year. Drought!"

An Youde added.

"Okay, this is really good news! Let's go forward first, and make plans when we get to a place with water! It is absolutely impossible to go back the same way, not to mention the long distance, no food, no water, everyone I can't stand it! At present, I can only save my life first!"

Although Lizheng was a small village official, he still humbly asked for advice in front of the elder patriarch, and too many ancestors died along the way, and there were not many knowledgeable old people in their village, and now they are There are quite a lot of old people in the generation of the patriarch.

When the patriarch spoke, everyone gathered around and discussed for a while. There was no better way, and this was the only way.

"Everyone find a place to rest. It's getting dark. Let's start tomorrow morning! I think there are still some green plants in this mountain. If you know of non-toxic ones, let's get some to deal with! There will be some in front soon. The source of water is here! We are not afraid of the Yamen servants chasing us, so we can breathe a sigh of relief!"

Li is dispelling the people gathered together, letting everyone move around on their own, and then camping on the spot to sleep overnight.

However, the villagers of Shanbei Zhuangzi, who had encountered wild beasts a few times along the way, had long been aware of precautions. The five Xia Qiyue, siblings, and three took turns to keep vigil, and the others also kept vigil.

Although they always have to stay away from others, they still have to be very careful when eating.

It was just getting dark, and Xia Qiyue didn't follow anyone to pick wild vegetables. The two children and sisters were taking care of her, and she was not far from the patriarch's family, so she walked into the crowd without worry.

She wanted to find someone, and it was time to implement what she had been thinking about.

She carried two children on her back along the way. Although the two children were thin and weak, they still weighed more than two jins, thirty jins and forty jins together.

Whenever she couldn't carry her back, she could always think of the kind of creative wheelchair she wanted to make.

But there is no time to escape, not to mention that the uneven mountain road is not practical at all.

It's all right now, she's about to go out on the mountain road, and she can implement this matter.

After searching for several times, I found Carpenter Gao in a place surrounded by several trees.

At this time, only Carpenter Gao stayed behind to watch and salute. Gao Baishi, his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were not there.

Xia Qiyue didn't dare to get too close in the dark, so she had to walk for a while and stopped to yell.

"Uncle Gao..."

Carpenter Gao quickly responded, "Hey? Who is it?"

After Xia Qiyue confirmed that the other party's identity was correct, she quickly said, "Uncle Gao, I'm from An Zichen's family. I'm here to ask for your help!"

Carpenter Gao showed doubts on his face. Although they said that in the village, their Gao family lived well, but it was not to the point where they could help others.

He also knew a little bit about the An family's fourth family. The young daughter-in-law brought her two children and her younger siblings. He heard that she almost starved to death along the way.

Come to him now, could it be that you want to borrow food from him?
Their family didn't have much food, no, the mother-in-law, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson all went to look for wild vegetables in the dark.

Originally, they picked a little while waiting for the road explorers here, and everyone else picked it too, but when they heard that they were going to go out on the mountain road tomorrow, they couldn't help but follow along. Others searched again in the dark, leaving him to look after the luggage.

"From Zichen's family, why do you ask me to help?" Although Gao Carpenter had guessed a lot in his heart, he still asked with a pleasant face.

Xia Qiyue quickly expressed her thoughts, "Uncle Gao, aren't you a carpenter? I'm begging you to help me build a chair, but don't worry, I'll give you the money!"

Carpenter Gao was completely dumbfounded, hitting a chair?On this way of fleeing from famine, she actually wanted to hit a chair?do what?Do you sit during breaks?Then you have to carry it on your back?
He really wanted to, and he asked the question.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qiyue explained with a chuckle, "Uncle Gao, this chair has wheels. When it's on the official road, when it's flat, I'm going to put the two children and luggage on it and push it away. It’s so much easier than carrying it on your back!”

When Carpenter Gao heard that it was a chair with wheels, he became interested. People who have worked as carpenters for most of their lives are extremely interested in these things.

In this way, the two chatted. Although it was dark, Xia Qiyue took out all the candles she had bought from the grocery store in order to make Carpenter Gao understand and make her a satisfactory chair.

Fortunately, there were not many people around, and they were busy picking wild vegetables, so the two of them wrote and drew on the ground for a while. Carpenter Gao nodded to show that he understood, and the problem was not too big.

While Xia Qiyue was amazed by Carpenter Gao's strong comprehension ability, she also admired the ability of the ancients to forge wood into all kinds of exquisite things without using a single nail.

After emphasizing the detailed appearance of the wheelchair and the space for luggage under the chair she designed, Xia Qiyue extinguished the candle and got up and walked to her resting place.

Carpenter Gao fully agreed that he would break out the wheelchair all night without sleep.

Because she couldn't bear it, she didn't lose the carpenter's tools all the way, and kept carrying them by herself, but now they are useful.
