"We can't go to the north of Liangzhou, where we are. That will be the first place for people fleeing famine. After all, being in the same state and not having to travel through mountains and rivers is the first choice for all people fleeing famine."

Lianyi analyzed it very carefully.

There is naturally information provided by Shijiu, and there is also the conclusion that Lianyi came to after going to the bookstore and staring at the shop owner's cannibalistic eyes and looking at the map of Daqian.

"Then according to your wishes, where should we go?"

"Go to Huangzhou."

Ripple said directly.

"But I heard that it is close to the border, has a vast area, is sparsely populated, and the land is not fertile."

Song Dachuan said that these news were passed down by word of mouth. When men got together to brag, they would tell some stories that their companions didn't know, so Song Dachuan had heard about it before.

"It is precisely because the land is vast and sparsely populated that there is a shortage of people. It is easier for us to settle here and allocate more fields."

Lianyi continued to fool around.

"But there will be wars at the border, and I heard that it is common for people to die."

"The border pass is guarded by General Chang, so it is not easy to be breached. Besides, we are going to Huangzhou, and we are not settling directly at the border pass. Huangzhou is twice as big as Liangzhou!"

"This matter is not a trivial matter, we still need to investigate it carefully."

The head of the Zhang family was obviously a little tempted, but after all, the lives of the whole family were at stake, so he had to be cautious.

"Boss, you take Shitou (Zhang Shi) and Dachuan to the county tomorrow to find out about the situation in the county. It would be better if you can buy some food."

"Okay, Dad!"

All three should be killed.

"You go back and talk to your respective wives about this matter, and discuss it with each other."

Mr. Zhang finally made a concluding speech.

"Yes, Dad."

When the Song Dachuan family returned to their house, Huzi put his arms around Lianyi's neck and asked quietly:

"Sister, do we want to leave here?"

"Well, in order to survive, we may have to leave here for a while."

"Will you come back?"

"have no idea."

"All right!"

"Huzi can't bear to be here?"

"No, in a new place, Hu Zi can meet new partners."

Huzi whispered.

Due to health reasons, Huzi has basically never left home since he was a child. His health was not good before he was three years old, so he basically grew up in Huiniang's arms. After he was three years old, he was in Lianyi's arms. This year, he became stronger. However, in order to avoid getting sick and because Hui Niang was worried, Hu Zi basically had no playmates of the same age.

"Huzi, don't make trouble with your sister. I'll take you to wipe your face. Let's go to bed early. Your father has something to discuss with your sister."

Hui Niang carried Hu Zi to the bedroom, and Song Dachuan was also discussing the next thing with Lianyi.

"Tomorrow I will go to the county with your uncle and uncle to see the situation. If the situation is really that bad, the family will have to prepare. I estimate that after autumn, the food supply of each household should be at the bottom. Without food, people will starve to death, and people who are hungry are terrible."

Song Dachuan whispered.

"Dad and I have the same idea. If my grandfather's family doesn't come with us, we will have to set off alone, but before that, dad has to go to Songjia Village."

Ripple continued.

"What are you going to do in Songjiacun?"

"Borrow food. If we can't borrow food, tell them we are going to flee."

Lianyi said calmly.

Song Dachuan was not a fool. He understood it after just a little thought.

Now go borrow food. Even if the Old Song family has it, they won't lend it to them. They can't borrow food. In order to survive, they will naturally flee from famine. The Old Song family won't tangle with them, and they would rather they stay as far away as possible. Well, it makes it easier for them to move. After all, their family has a lot of food stored.

After discussing what to do next, Song Dachuan also took an early rest.

The next day, after watching Song Dachuan leave, Lianyi went up Wankou Mountain again on the pretext of looking for food.

There are basically no green things to be seen on the outside of Wankou Mountain. What can be picked is picked. There are also groups of women walking inside with their children, hoping to dig out food to satisfy their hunger.

Fortunately, autumn is coming soon, and many things in the mountains and forests have already begun to bear fruit. Although they are not yet mature, they can at least satisfy their hunger. These things are also decreasing rapidly. Ripple can only go deeper and pick a basket of dandelions. Went down the mountain in a hurry.

They waited until the sun went down before the Zhang brothers and Song Dachuan returned to Zhangjiacun. However, the three of them didn't look very good, their clothes were torn, and there were injuries on their faces. Each of the three held a wooden stick in their hands. , and just returned empty-handed.

"Dad, you're hurt!"

Hui Niang exclaimed and her eyes immediately turned red.

Ripple also frowned and said:

"Dad, have you met any victims of the disaster?"

"Well, I originally bought half a bag of grain in Yongfeng County, but was robbed on the way. If I hadn't realized something was wrong, I picked up a stick and scattered the people who gathered around me, and the three of us almost couldn't escape."

Song Dachuan said with lingering fear.

Although there is no harvest in the fields now, he listened to Lianyi and saved a lot of food before the new year, so the food and drink at home can still be supplied. Especially since he is a strong laborer, Huiniang and Lianyi would rather eat less than eat. Won't let him starve.

Just so as not to stand out, Song Dachuan would darken his face every time he went out to make him look very thin. In fact, he had a lot of strength because he was full. This time, it was all thanks to him that all three of them could come back together. .

"Is it already so serious in the county?"

Ripple frowned and asked.

"Well, Yongfeng County has closed the city gates to prevent disaster victims from entering. Because we are a village under the jurisdiction of Yongfeng County and no major incidents have happened, we are allowed to enter the city.

The situation in the county is not good either. There are beggars on the road, the doors of large houses are closed, and there are very few pedestrians on the road. However, there is no influx of disaster victims, so it is safe for the time being.

There was also a long queue at the only open grain store. We waited in line for a long time and only bought half a bag of grain mixed with sand. As a result, we left the county seat and were rushed by the victims before we even reached Wangshan Town. Robbed.

Your uncle was not convinced and wanted to snatch it back, so he was besieged by the hungry victims with green eyes. I could only grab a stick and rush forward, scattering the people, and then I escaped. "

Hui Niang felt very distressed and had already brought over the warm brown rice porridge and Wo Wo Tou, as well as a plate of fried dandelions, which Lianyi had dug back from Wankou Mountain during the day.

Song Dachuan didn't say much. He ate the dinner left for him in a few mouthfuls and then said with a swipe of his lips:

"The situation is not good now. If we are ready, we will set off one day earlier."

"I understand, Huzi's father, let's go ask him about his plans tomorrow."

Huiniang still wanted to go with her mother's family. After all, she had four younger brothers, and it would be safer to have more boys.

"I know, I must ask my parents. I am also planning to go to Songjia Village to save them from trying to bite us."

Hui Niang didn't know why, but she nodded anyway. She happened to hear the voice of Hu Zi calling her mother from the bedroom, so she immediately turned around and entered the bedroom.

"Dad, I entered Wankou Mountain today and got something unexpected."

See you tomorrow, babies~
