farming female castellan

Chapter 5

"You go too." Zhang Ci said softly.Mo Jian happily responded, and walked away with Xiang Jian crossing their shoulders.

The group of refugees behind Chen Fan gradually returned to normal, packing their luggage in twos and threes.

Chen Fan approached several people and asked where they came from.

A young man in his twenties was more lively, and he spoke first: "We are from Ningkang County, Yuzhou. We are all a big family. The man who talked to you just now is my father. We are from Ningkang County After crossing Dakang County, we arrived at Yongchang County in Xizhou, which is Shengping County in Pingzhou. We have been walking for twelve days, and we can go to Yuanfeng County in Gyeongju in two or three days. Yuanfeng County is a good place , there is something to look forward to when we arrive in Yuanfeng County."

Chen Fan recited the name of the place silently in his heart, roughly thinking of a few words.

Fortunately, apart from those place names, the guy didn't come up with any other words beyond Chen Fan's cognition, and the pronunciation is not difficult to distinguish.Unknowingly today, she also listened to several dialects, and she can understand them roughly. This is really thanks to her classmates from all over the world, and the large number of dialect videos she has watched and learned over the years.

She asked again, "How long has it been dry in your place?"

"It started in midsummer last year, and it didn't rain until autumn and winter. This spring, even in the rainy season of Qingming and Grain Rain, there was only a little drizzle, and the soil couldn't even get wet. I want to boil it with some water. I can't even catch a few drops of rice."

Chen Fan was stunned. This is almost four seasons of drought, right?

The young man's voice continued: "Fortunately, the wheat was harvested last year, so we could eat something, and we planted some corn. Within a few months, all the water in Tangtanggou ditch was dry, and even the big lake was getting bigger and bigger. It is getting dry. The corn harvest is not very good, but it is still a little harvested. Later, the wheat turned into powder after being planted, and only a few acres of land saw a single seedling standing there, and it was not big. Vegetables They didn't even grow."

Corn?wheat?
"Do you usually grow rice?"

"Sometimes we grow rice, but not much. We eat more pasta and corn there, and occasionally some brown rice. Last year's drought made it even harder to grow rice. Corn is drought-resistant, so we all grow corn."

The young man didn't continue to speak, he was panting heavily.

It is estimated that he was hanging on for a few breaths, and suddenly he opened the conversation basket and said so many words, and spent most of those few breaths.

A woman next to her spoke with a smile: "Young lady's voice is really nice. I don't know where her accent is? This guy's name is Zhou Qiang. My surname is Fang. I'm his second aunt. What's your name?"

Chen Fan greeted: "Hello, Second Aunt Fang, Hello Brother Zhou." He pointed to the north, "My surname is Chen, and I come from the north." Second Aunt Fang snorted, and Zhou Qiang smiled shyly.

Second Aunt Fang smiled and continued to ask: "There is a capital city in the north. The girl is either from the capital city or from which state city?"

Chen Fan didn't know what to say, she had only heard a few place names from Zhou Qiang, and it was easy to mislead nonsense.She couldn't say that she fell from mid-air.

Second Aunt Fang continued: "The girl is really pretty, and the material of her clothes is really good."

Chen Fan looked at his hands, they were so dark, and his face didn't know what was going on.Then why does Second Aunt Fang think that she is so dark and pretty?The clothes on her are very ordinary, not a gorgeous skirt, and the material is nothing special.Maybe it's good compared to the rags of the refugees.

Zhou Qiang's family slowly assembled, and a few new ones joined.The other refugees are almost from the same family, relatively close to each other, and the distinction between each family is obvious.

The little girl and her parents are still there!She ran away just now, but she came back later, looking for her parents and family members.

The few newcomers seemed to be easy to bully.A pair of skinny brothers and sisters, the younger sister is only five or six years old, and the older brother is in his teens and not tall, so they look weak and weak.They were actually a little far away from here, Zhou Qiang's father ran out for a while before bringing them here.

"You know they're behind?" Chen Fan asked Zhou Qiang's father.

"No, no," he shook his head. "I just want to go to the back to see if there is anyone who needs help. I saw that the brothers and sisters didn't seem to have anything to eat, so I gave them some food and brought them here."

After giving them some food, they left with others. The two children were not afraid of being abducted. Chen Fan was a little worried.However, there is a good chance they saw themselves fighting and believed it was safer to follow them.

Chen Fan looked at the elder brother: "Where are your family members?"

The boy looked gloomy, pointed to the front, and said nothing.

The family went to the front and left them behind.Is that what you mean?

Chen Fan didn't say anything, and went to ask a woman with two girls: "Where are your family members?"

The woman's eyes turned red, but she didn't speak, she shook her head, and pointed in another direction with her finger.

Well, a few more were abandoned by their families.Probably because the man is gone, the rest of the family thinks they are cumbersome.They were going in other directions, and the women came here as they walked.

There is also a thin old lady with a little girl, who looks like a grandparent and grandson.Chen Fan still said the same thing: "Where are your family members?"

The eye sockets of both of them were red, and they shook their heads without using their fingers.

The two were not abandoned, but the family seemed to be gone.

They are all poor people.

Chen Fan felt pity in his heart, and admired them very much, they were so old and weak, they had nothing to eat, and they had to encounter several groups of robbers, yet they survived, their vitality was so tenacious.

A group of people continued to set off, and Chen Fan walked slowly with the crowd.Xiang Jian and Mo Jian watched from afar.

The walking speed of those people was really slow, but Chen Fan was not in a hurry.She has just experienced so much, and she is still a little confused.She also wants to return her spiritual consciousness to its place while walking, so that her perception of the environment will be clearer and clearer.

Suddenly falling into such a situation of fleeing from famine is really uncomfortable. She has no money or food, some refugees may go crazy at any time, and there are such powerful oppressive martial arts masters... She must find a place to settle down and live well. Find a living.

She thought of the place just now, those bulging bags, would there be food in them?How can it be taken out?

As Chen Fan walked, he was thinking, and he was too embarrassed to talk to someone.It takes effort to speak, let them save some effort.She looked at the sky, the earth, and those people.

The backs of the pair of grandparents and grandchildren attracted her attention the most. Although they were thin, they were still upright, not hunched like refugees.The footsteps of the two were also very brisk.

Chen Fan looked at it for a long time before he came back to his senses. Why did she keep staring at the back of a little girl?
Xiang Jian patted the ink pad: "Tell me, what happened to you just now?"

　Thank you very much for the little cuties who checked in, I love you!
