After hearing what Old Man Zhang said, everyone looked at each other and felt that their men were still safe, and they also had a little bit of confidence in leaving Zhangjiacun.

"In a short time, the food supply of every household in the village will be at the bottom. If the chimney of our house is still smoking and the smell of food is spreading, the villagers will definitely guess something.

It’s not that I’m selfish and unwilling to help others. Just like Lianyi girl said, it’s great if a mouthful of food from our Zhang family can save someone’s life, but how can we help others when we don’t have enough to eat ourselves. "

Lao Zhangtou sighed and said.

"Huiniang, where is Dachuan?"

Lao Zhang asked his daughter.

"He went to Songjia Village early in the morning to see if he could borrow some food. If he couldn't borrow some food, he told the Songjia clearly that our family was going to beg for food."

Hui Niang didn't hide anything and said directly.

"Hmph! As for Old Song, that petty old sadistic woman, it is natural for you to help them. At this juncture, they will not give out a grain of food!"

Lao Zhang said without hesitation.

The fact was exactly as Lao Zhang expected. When Song Dachuan came to the door, Lao Song's face was not good. At least Lao Song saw the injury on his son's face and asked a few more questions.

"Dad, I also know that my family is in trouble, but I really have no choice. I only bought half a bag of brown rice with the remaining dime, and it was mixed with sand. As a result, I was robbed halfway. If it weren't for My two brothers-in-law are accompanying me, and I guess you won’t be able to see me now.”

Song Dachuan stood in the house and told about his difficulties.

"Is the situation outside so bad now?"

Lao Songtou touched the dry tobacco pole in his hand and asked with a frown.

"Yes, the county magistrate doesn't release food, and there are more and more victims outside."

Song Dachuan lowered his head and said.

"Why!"

Old Songtou just sighed, but never mentioned the purpose of his son coming here. This made Song Dachuan feel cold. At least when the family was in the most difficult time, his son even sent money back, even if it was just to prevent them. Going to Zhangjia Village disturbed their lives, but the five taels of silver were really not adulterated.

"Dad, can you lend me half a bag of grain?"

Before Song Dachuan finished speaking, Old Song started to beat and beat him, and cursed relentlessly:

"Now that you know you have come to beg us, what have you been doing? There is no food left at home now. If I give it to you, your father and I will starve to death. You are so filial to us! You really have lost your conscience and were led astray by that woman. ."

After listening to Old Song's words, Song Dachuan's face became more gloomy, but he still moved his eyes to Old Song's head. After all, this was his biological father.

Old Songtou's eyes evaded, then he sighed heavily and said:

"Dachuan, it's not that dad doesn't want to help you. Our family was hit by a mountain disaster last year and it has never recovered. The little money you gave us can barely keep us from starving to death. We really have no food left."

All that means is that there is no food for you.

Song Dachuan was lying when he said he was not disappointed. He looked directly at the two old people, making them both feel a little guilty, and then he said:

"Mom and Dad, this is the last time I call you. If I can't borrow food, I will have to flee with my whole family. Whether I can survive or see my parents again is unknown.

Fortunately, I didn't take any money when the family was separated. I left all the land to you for your old age, and the five taels of silver I took last year. As a son, I have fulfilled my filial piety. I will ask my elders to take care of themselves in the future. "

After Song Dachuan finished speaking, he knelt down, kowtowed three times, turned around and left the Song family yard.

"Hey! Okawa."

Lao Songtou couldn't bear it. As soon as he opened his mouth to shout, he was pulled back by Lao Song.

"Bah! Just listen to him coaxing you here! If their family is out of food, won't they still have the old Zhang family? Can they watch their daughter's family starve to death, just worry about it? Just wait and see, they will definitely not starve to death. .”

Old Song said with great disdain.

Unfortunately, not long after, they learned that the Song Dachuan family and the old Zhang family had left Zhangjiacun to escape famine, and they really panicked. But it was too late, and they had never seen each other again in their lives.

And the two of them did not escape this natural disaster in the end. Because they were old and only consumed food, they were abandoned by their eldest son. They eventually starved to death on the roadside, leaving not even a whole body behind.

Song Dahai abandoned his parents and did not end up with a good end. In the end, his wife and children were separated, and he himself was desolate in his later years. This is all for later.

When Song Dachuan left Songjiacun, he didn't avoid anyone. When someone asked him, he said that he couldn't open the pot at home and came to borrow food from his parents and brothers. Needless to say, the people in Songjiacun also saw it, and they could only say that Song Dachuan was in bad luck. , watching the other party leave dejectedly.

People in Songjia Village have also discussed privately that they feel that what the old Song family did is really inappropriate. After all, when they were in the most difficult time, as their son, they used their money to help him. Now that he is in trouble, his family does this. , very chilling.

Song Dachuan was very angry. It was already afternoon when he returned to Zhangjiacun. Fortunately, his wife and children were waiting at home. After eating a bowl of hot porridge, he told the situation about the Song family.

"I think there should be some food left over at my parents' place, so I won't go hungry for a while."

"That's good. Now we just need to take care of ourselves as a family of four."

Hui Niang could only say dryly.

She was really worried that her man was hot-headed and wanted to help Lao Songtou's family. If that was the case, their little food would definitely not be able to fill the gap between them.

"I'm going to go find my father-in-law to discuss something."

After Song Dachuan had dinner, he went to see Lao Zhangtou alone. Now that there was no obstacle, they had to take action as soon as possible.

Song Dachuan waited until the sky was filled with stars before returning to his small yard.

Starting from the next day, the family became busy. This time they were leaving Zhangjia Village, and the place they were going was far away. They had to prepare a lot of things, especially making the existing food into dry food. They may not have stopped on the way. The opportunity to eat is also to prevent the smell of food from attracting more disaster victims.

After five days of preparation, Song Dachuan's family of four and the Zhang family left Zhangjiacun pushing four flatbed trucks.

When they left, many people from the village came, and the village chief also came out to see them off. However, everyone was silent when they parted.

"Village Chief, if we can survive, no one will want to leave their hometown. There is really no other way now. Let's take the first step. You should also make plans early. I asked Dazhong and Shitou to go to the county to inquire. So far, the county magistrate has not Come up with a charter, I’m afraid there will be many disasters this time.”

"I know! Wait for two more days. If it doesn't work, we will chase you."

The village chief could only say this.

Then the team of more than 20 people walked further and further away, disappearing from the sight of the village chief. Every time he thought about this incident, the village chief regretted it, because on the fifth day after the Zhang family left, the group was extremely hungry. The victims of the disaster looted Zhangjiacun.
