Chapter 119 2 Migrating

——————————

A group of little carrot heads gathered around the simple stove, with three pairs of eyes watching the rat meat slowly rolling in the pot.

The villagers in Lujia Village have become accustomed to these children cooking small stoves.

If they can catch some edible bugs or mice, they will also give them to Huniu, after all, she has three children.

They are old and their children are their hope...

The next day.

The sun rises.

Just as Lu Xiaoshu woke up, he heard a burst of crying.

He got up quickly, looked at Sister A with his big eyes, and he was relieved when he saw her sitting on the side.

He raised his little hand and rubbed his eyes.

"Sister, who died last night?"

This question is very common.

Because it is a very common thing for someone to die on the way to flee famine.

Ye Zhiqiu stroked his little furry head, and replied softly: "It's Granny Yan from the village."

Lu Shu sighed.

"Grandma Yan is a good person!"

Ye Zhiqiu looked sideways at Lu Shu.

A 10-year-old boy, so young and mature, is he afraid of bad luck in the future?
In Huniu's memory, some lonely old people and children in Lujia Village walked from Wutong County to this prairie. The team of more than 20 people has now shrunk to only a few dozen people. God has been recruiting people...

Ye Zhiqiu carried the luggage on his back, the little one was still on his chest, and then led the two children to Granny Yan's side.

When people around Grandma Yan saw Ye Zhiqiu coming, they all made way. As people from the same village, they always wanted to take one last look.

The old man seemed to go very peacefully, with his hands resting on his chest, there wasn't much pain on his face, as if he knew he was going to leave.

Tie Dan's grandfather, Old Jian, looked at the heavy crowd, and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go for another day, and let these children live."

The villagers who fell on the road to escape from the wilderness did not have the blessing of being buried in the ground, so they could only throw their bodies in the wild.

The sun had already risen, Ye Zhiqiu walked forward after hearing the old man's words.

She didn't have time to be sad, the water in the kettle was running low after cooking the rat meat yesterday, and today she had to go to the forest that Xiaobai had surveyed.

Huniu's physical strength itself is not bad.

Ye Zhiqiu's mentality also progressed very quickly, so even though she was carrying luggage and a doll hanging on her chest, she couldn't walk slower than these old people.

hunger.

Very hungry.

Ye Zhiqiu felt like a hand was grabbing her stomach and squeezing it constantly. She had to eat something.

At noon, the old Jiantou gave a long cry.

"Old fellows, take a break."

Ye Zhiqiu let go of the child's hand.

Lu Xiaoshu and Lu Xiaomiao breathed a sigh of relief.

The two children swung their arms at the same time. Elder Sister was so strong that they were almost carried away by her.

You can rest, that is, you can dig grass roots to eat.

Ye Zhiqiu put the little one on the grass, pinched her little face: "Little one, sister will find something for you to eat."

"Good... good... Da."

The 4-year-old child still couldn't speak completely, but his voice was so childish, it made the exhausted Ye Zhiqiu feel a little more energetic.

She leaned close to the little one's cheek and smelt one.

"Be good, don't run around."

Both Lu Xiaoshu and Lu Xiaomiao didn't need Ye Zhiqiu's instructions, they were already picking out some green grass and digging it up.

There are several varieties of grass in this prairie, and one kind of grass has a good taste and is sweet to chew.

Ye Zhiqiu's speed was fast, and he grabbed a lot of it in a short while.

She yelled at Tie Dan: "Brother Tie Dan, come here, I got a lot of grass roots, take some over here."

Tie Dan waved his hand: "Eat it by yourself, let the little one eat more."

Ye Zhiqiu heard the words and could only give up.

There are too many favors owed along the way, and I will not be able to repay them in a while, and I will find a way to repay them slowly in the future.

She picked and picked, chewed the tenderest grass roots in her mouth, and then spit them out to feed the little ones.

She inherited the method of recruiting babies from Huniu.

Perhaps Huniu considered that Xiaobudian was too small and the grass roots were difficult to digest, so she could only grind it in her mouth before feeding it to her.

Ye Zhiqiu learns from others, and he doesn't care about hygiene anymore, as long as the little one can survive.

None of the three children can die.

The tip of the grass has green grass roots, and there is still a lot of juice.

Even if this kind of grass wasn't in a famine year, it would still be chewy in the mouths of the children in Lujia Village.

The natural candy taste is just not enough to keep you full, after all, it is not a staple food.

Ye Zhiqiu chewed on the grass roots, she didn't dare to feed the little one too much, after all the child was too young.

After stuffing a little something into their stomachs, the group set off again.

Old Jiantou knew that there was a forest behind the grassland, and after passing through the forest, he arrived at Hanjiang City.

I heard from the shopkeepers in the streets and alleys that Hanjiang City is a big city and very prosperous. As long as these children can enter the city, they can survive even begging for food.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't know that Lao Jiantou had planned a life path for his siblings.

If she knew, she might be extremely uncomfortable.

Send them all the way to Hanjiang City just to make them beg?
That's not good?
To borrow a sentence from Master Xing, if a person has no dreams, how is it different from a salted fish?
Twenty miles, a whole day's walking.

Later, when they couldn't walk anymore, when the old people would look at the greenery in the distance and sigh, Lao Jiantou would cheer them up by the side.

"Work hard, old guys, we're almost in the woods, almost... almost."

Tie Dan's grandfather is very healthy and energetic, and this group of people has always been led by him and listened to his arrangements.

But after a lot of "soon...soon"...

Panting heavily, Lu Fanxiang finally couldn't help but retorted: "You old boy, it's almost dark, and the forest is still so far away, when will we get there?"

The old Jiantou hurriedly replied: "Old man, come on, come on, this time it's real."

Wangshan ran the dead horse.

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but smile when he heard the old Jiantou's words, the world of the taskers this time, people are very nice!

If it weren't for these old people who have been taking care of Huniu's family.

After Huniu's parents passed away one after another, perhaps these children were already dead.

Ye Zhiqiu turned around and shouted, "Grandpa Fan, this time it's really coming soon, if you stick to it for another quarter of an hour, you'll be there."

There were a dozen or so people in the group, five children from Ye Zhiqiu and Tiedan went, and the rest of the old Jiantou, Lu Fanxiang, Lu Ruiwen and Lu Jingfu's family.

There are seven members of Lu Jingfu's family. They did not go to seek refuge with their relatives or friends, nor did they follow the village chief to a city farther south.

Because Lu Jingfu didn't want to leave his hometown.

He also wanted to wait for the disaster to pass before returning to the village.

After all, the family still has a few acres of land, and last year they built a few large tile-roofed houses made of blue bricks, and the family was reluctant to part with this house.

Ye Zhiqiu's words drew the old man's laughter.

Lu Fanxiang smiled and said, "Huniu, how do you know you can get there in half a quarter of an hour?"

"I guess." Ye Zhiqiu pretended to be mysterious and said with a smile.

"Alright, then let's see if Hu Niu can guess correctly?"

The old people raised their feet and began to walk slowly again.
