Ancient natural disaster: The whole family went to escape together

Chapter 71 Troubled Times
Finally, Mr. Song took hundreds of young and strong people away from the refugee pile.

Among the people taken away were men and women.

Su Bujing was still among the crowd and saw the young woman who had stopped their carriage and wanted to take advantage of their family.

I saw her walking arrogantly at the front, following Master Song closely.

Before leaving, when she turned to look at Su Bujing and others, there was inexplicable superiority in her eyes.

snort!People, like her, must learn to be flexible and seize every opportunity they can to climb up.

Isn't it better to follow that young master than to follow those lowly refugees?
As long as she, Sun Qiniang, behaves well in front of the young master and wins his favor, she might be able to be well fed and clothed on the road without being disturbed.

Isn't this better than following behind, struggling to eat boiled wild vegetables, and having to guard against accidents happening around you from time to time?
When Fuzhou settles down, she and this group of refugees will be the same as the white clouds in the sky and the sludge underground!
By then, even if these people want to curry favor with her, they may not have a chance.

As Sun Qiniang thought about it, she felt more and more intelligent, wise and quick-thinking.

She raised her chin reservedly, took small steps, and twisted her waist step by step to leave the place, completely forgetting about her husband who died not long ago.

It was as if the tears she had shed for her husband before were all flowing from the corners of her mouth.

That arrogant look made Su Bujing's head full of black lines.

She used to just serve people, but she became like this. Those who didn't know it thought she had remarried and became the daughter-in-law of Mr. Qin!

She had threatened to drag her husband's body along with her before, but why couldn't she take her husband's body with her to serve the noble man now?
She had seen it before. This woman had used all her supplies to take care of Mr. Song.

Those supplies are more than enough to pay for travel expenses. If we save more and be more diligent on the road ahead, we won't starve to death.

But she wanted to take a wrong approach, probably because she wanted to try her luck with Mr. Qin.

There are quite a few people who have this idea. Among the hundreds of people, most of them forced their way in with their own benefits, including some refugees who paid tolls.

It's so beautiful!

If you are just a servant and kneeling, how can you expect those who are standing to give you respect and face? !

However, this is someone else's choice. As long as the woman doesn't mess with their family, she can play the zither as much as she likes. Su Bujing didn't bother to care whether her eyes were cramped or not.
-
After Mr. Song took the person away, the matter of collecting tolls came to an end.

The refugees from both sides finally formally gathered together under the urging of the officers and soldiers.

However, compared with the long and winding escape team before, there are now many fewer people, like a thick giant dragon that has lost weight due to hunger.

Most of the "fat" lost is the elderly and children.

In this series of natural disasters, they were the first to be eliminated and were the weaker side.

When everything is moving forward, even if you stay still, you are still going backwards.

The bodies of the surviving refugees are also spontaneously undergoing subtle changes in order to adapt to the harsher environment.

It's just that this change is silent and undetectable by the naked eye.

From people's current cold resistance, night vision, to physical tolerance, the progress can be described as considerable.

Although it is far less than the evolutionary speed and self-preservation ability of animals and plants.

But as long as we accumulate bit by bit, I believe that before long, people will be able to fully adapt to the harsh environment, and then be able to live like a fish in water in this troubled world.

The large army fleeing the famine was advancing, and they encountered a deep pit on the way. Everyone walked around the hole with normal expressions on their faces.

They have become accustomed to whenever they encounter an obstacle, they will go around it as much as possible. As for the problems with other boulder obstacles, it is up to the officers and soldiers leading the way to solve them.

Those who are following do not need to know about detours or cleaning up. They only need to know that if they keep going forward, they can reach Fuzhou.Su Yuanshan did not rush forward with his head down, but pulled the carriage to the side of the team and stayed here temporarily.

Their family planned to pack up the messy and empty carriage before setting off, so there was no rush.

Just do it.

Mrs. Zhao walked towards the carriage, and in a daze, while no one was paying attention, she put all the mattresses, blankets, hand stoves, stoves and other items that had been stored in the space back into the carriage.

Su Yuanshan and Su Buyi quickly spread the mattress, folded five blankets, turned on the stove, lit a honey candle on the wall of the car, and closed the windows tightly to prevent any light from leaking out.

Then, the family shook the cloaks they were wearing and patted the dust and mud off.

Then, at Su Bujing's suggestion, the family hung the cloaks at the door of the car in order of long in the middle and short on both sides, giving the door an extra heavy "curtain" and dragging it all the way to the car board. .

In this case, even if people outside suddenly open the car door, the first thing they see are a few long fur cloaks, instead of directly seeing what the people inside are doing.

It can be regarded as the second "door" besides the car door.

Not only is it private, it doesn't take up space in the car, and it can prevent cold wind from blowing in when the door is opened.

The Su family took a second look with satisfaction, then opened the "cloak curtain" and got into the carriage together.

Su Yuanshan was left alone to watch on the edge of the car, paying attention to the changes in the movement of the fleeing team.

in the compartment

After Su Bujing and others came in, he was finally able to take off his mask and take a breath.

After taking a breath, Su Bujing carefully put the spiritual water from the Immortal Mansion into the red clay stove and boiled it. After it boiled, he threw four brown sugars into it.

These days, Su Bujing often secretly replenishes the immortal water in his bamboo tube and gives it to his family members.

Because my family has been taking Xianfu Water for a long time, my family members are now well adapted to Xianfu Water, and there will no longer be any accidental excretion of dirt from the body.

So Su Bujing had already started giving undiluted Xianfu water to his family.

Their family ran away so frequently and had no physical problems. This was all because the Immortal Mansion Water slowly nourished their bodies.

Su Buyi covered Zhao with two layers of blankets and put a warm stove next to her feet.

After the brown sugar water was boiled, Su Bujing poured a bowl for Zhao and asked her to drink the brown sugar water and close her eyes to rest.

The remaining brown sugar water was eaten by each member of the Su family in a bowl.

During this period, Mrs. Zhao, accompanied by Su Bujing, went to the grass to change into a clean sanitary belt.

After changing, Mrs. Zhao tilted her head and fell asleep because she was too nervous before.

"Sister, when are we going to have a heart-to-heart talk with that sixty taels of silver?" Su Buwei looked at the sleeping Zhao and asked in a low voice.

That blanket was specially used by him to cover his feet, and it is still in the hands of that person!
"There's no rush. When the team stops to rest, it won't be too late for us to take action." Su Bujing replied calmly.

"With so many people mixed together, will we still be able to find him by then?" Su Buyi was a little worried.

Su Bujing raised his head confidently, "Don't worry, brother! As long as that person is still in the team, we will definitely find him! We are quite destined to be with him, hehe!"

"Second brother, don't worry, just think that the blanket is covering your feet and you are tired. Now go out to get some air and relax. When you are free, we will pick up the blanket and take it home."
