They went to Qin Village already remote enough, but the terrain where Huajia Village is located is even more remote, close to the Qinggu Mountains.

But because of this, Huajia Village lives a much better life than other villages despite its remoteness.

It's remote enough, so it's indeed a good place to go, but even if they have a son's relationship, they may not be able to enter Huajia Village.

"Brother Shu, Huajia Village is a big village and has always been exclusive. Can we go in?"

"Dad, I didn't know I told you that my son met Grandpa Hua and the others in the town not a month ago."

The couple looked at each other and then shook their heads decisively. Their son must have never said that, otherwise they would not have any impression at all.

It seemed that he hadn't said it before, Qin Shu recounted what happened that day when he met Huajia Village and his party.

Although he didn't say a few words in the end, Hua Jin's sister said that if he had any difficulties, he could go to Huajia Village, and told him that if anything happened, he could leave a message on a huge rock at the foot of Qinggu Mountain behind the village.

"What do you mean by this, the people in Huajia Village have never come down from the mountain?"

Qin Dagen was really surprised. He couldn't understand why the people in Huajia Village didn't go down the mountain now that the floods had receded. Living in the mountains was not a long-term job after all, and the mountains were more dangerous.

"Yes, that's what Sister Huajin means."

"But living in the mountains is not normal after all!"

"My son doesn't know," Qin Shu said.

But based on his understanding of the Hua family, there must be something, otherwise the Hua family village would not stop going down the mountain.

Qin Dagen knew that his son didn't, so he sighed subconsciously.

But... in this case, there is no need to worry. Huajia Village is indeed the best place to go at the moment. The only drawback is that it is some distance away from their village, and it takes a lot of effort to take care of the crops in the fields.

"Dad, what do you think?" Qin Shu asked again as he saw his father lost in thought.

It's better to leave sooner rather than later. Now that more and more people are infected in the village, it's better to leave as soon as possible.

"Sure, I'll go to Huajia Village as you say."

Qin Dagen pursed his lips and stood up from the wooden pier. His son was right, they did not postpone it again and again.

The head of the family has already spoken, and everyone will stop talking and get ready.

Leaving was not as difficult as imagined. Except for the grain and two old quilts found in the cellar, the things were still the same. There were some dried wild vegetables these days. The rest were the quilts and daily necessities. Their home There are many men, so I can definitely take it. It’s really not that hard, just a round trip.

After everything was packed up, the family decided to wait until after dark to leave, which was a pity for the house that had only been renovated recently.

The two of them have been working hard on the house these days, cutting firewood and building it. They were still a little reluctant to leave when they left. What they were most afraid of was that someone would occupy the magpie's nest after they left. After all, their house was in the village. A few of them are relatively complete.

But they can't care about so much at the moment. They hope that no one in the village will pay attention to their family's departure. Maybe then their own house will not be cheaper for others.

As the sun set, Mrs. Li and her two young sons began to cook the evening meal. It took a lot of effort to walk a lot at night, so the evening meal was much thicker than usual. A lot of brown rice was added and a strip of sun-dried pickled rice was added. Fish, with salt and meat, can also add some strength.

This has to be considered the most hearty meal I have eaten in these days, and also the fullest I have been. Although it is only eighty percent full, it is already very good.

After the meal, the family packed up their things and sat down to wait for dark, getting ready to set off as soon as it got dark.As for whether it is dangerous to travel at night, I would definitely not have dared to go out in the past, but after the plague broke out, who would dare to go out easily.

When the last ray of light receded, Qin Dagen took his son and wife and carried all their belongings on their backs and left Shangqin Village in the dark. They did not dare to take the main road and headed towards Huajia Village quickly.

The distance between Shangqin Village and Huajia Village is about ten miles, which is really not that close.

It took Qin Shu's family, carrying a lot of things, more than three hours to arrive at the foot of Huajia Village.

I wasted more than half an hour because I took a sidetrack on the way, but luckily I found it in time and corrected it, otherwise it might have been even longer.

The main reason is that after the flood, the road conditions have changed more or less. It's okay during the day and it's really hard to distinguish at night when the darkness is thick. If I hadn't been there before and took a side road, the more I walked, the more I felt something was wrong. No. I know where I will go.

Although they were very tired, they finally arrived at Huajia Village. The family finally showed joy on their faces and walked quickly towards the village.

Huajia Village is very quiet and dark at night, but Qin Dagen's family feels at ease because of the darkness in the village. This shows that Huajia Village is indeed an empty village.

The family quickly walked into the village, with a clear goal towards the head of Huacun's family at the back of the village.

It was not clear in the night, but they could vaguely see that the village was full of ruins as they had seen before. They only hoped that the Hua family's house could be better preserved, and it was also the place they chose to stay temporarily at night.

As for where to live in the future, we can wait until daybreak to decide.

Huajia Village is really big. It took nearly half a cup of tea to reach the back of the village. When they stood behind the Huajia's house, the family breathed a sigh of relief.

The yard has collapsed a lot, but fortunately it is still there. The most important thing is that the main body of the house is still there. It will not be a problem to tidy up a little and have a rest at night.

Then I discovered that the Hua's house must have been tidied up. There were scattered bricks, stones and logs neatly stacked in a corner of the wall. The yard was very smooth, unlike the garbage and mud after the flood. It was obviously the same in the house without a roof. The ones that had been tidied up were also no longer muddy. One of them had obviously been re-opened, and this one was used as their resting place today.

The family took out the oilcloth they brought with them and set up a simple tent along the corner of the wall under the moonlight. Qin Shu and the others didn't say much after walking for several hours. They blocked the door with a large piece of wood and waited until dawn tomorrow.

Arriving in a strange place, they thought it would be difficult to fall asleep. Unexpectedly, they quickly fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up until they felt a dazzling light in front of their eyes.

As one of the family members made some noise, the others also woke up faintly.

"It's dawn," the youngest Qin Ming said sleepily, rubbing his eyes.

"Yes, get up as soon as you wake up." Qin Dagen patted his youngest son.

They all slept together in the same clothes, and there was basically nothing to clean up after tidying up the straw mats on the ground.

Except for the tent flower family's house, which came into view more clearly, it was indeed tidied up as they saw last night.

The condition of the house is better than theirs. The four walls are basically intact except for the missing roof, and the pile of straight and long wood seen in the corner last night must be beams.

After opening the door and walking out, looking at the tidied yard, the family felt extremely relaxed despite the empty space.

Finally, we no longer have to worry about the threat of the plague.

"Mother, tidy up and get ready for food. I'll go outside to see if there's any good place to stay."

It was too dark last night, so I had no choice but to choose a familiar place as a place to stay. It was already dawn now and it would be inappropriate to stay at Hua's house.
