In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

The next day, the first ray of sunshine in the morning came into view, and the golden sunlight filled the treetops. Under the trees, villagers who had already packed their bags gathered.

Shen Nan hugged her little niece and kissed her lovingly. The two little guys didn't mind it either, and let her kiss him with a smile.

"Okay, let's go quickly, it's getting late." Nian urged.

"Okay." Shen Nan nodded, held the child and handed it to her mother, while walking beside the carriage.

Everyone is not surprised by this. After sitting in the carriage for a long time, your back must be sore. It might as well go for a walk.

I have been walking for a few days, and it is already early July in the blink of an eye. There is still not a drop of rain in the sky, and I often see crops in the places I pass by.

The impact of the drought here is not that great, but the affected villages over there are different. Because the weather is too hot and the drought is severe, all water flowing on the ground has evaporated.

Even the tributaries of the Yanjiang River revealed the mud at the bottom of the river. People nearby had to go to the river to fetch water. Even so, they watched the river water become less and less.

The water source in the fields was cut off, and everyone was unable to cultivate the land. There was a lack of food, and some people fell ill and died.

This morning, everyone was about to set off.

A carriage stopped behind and a group of refugees came over. They were all dressed in tatters, and all they had was a basket or a cloth bag. They were completely different from the people from the backing village who were loaded with supplies.

When they looked at the cattle carts or neatly stacked supplies in the backing village, their eyes flashed with gold, and they wanted to rush up and grab them.

Shen Nan frowned when he saw it.

Li Zheng immediately called the villagers to stop them.

"Who are you?" he asked.

The refugees ignored him and still looked at their supplies, salivating.

"What do you want to do?" Li Zheng asked sharply, perhaps because their eyes were too hot.

"We are hungry, can you give us something to eat?" An older woman begged pitifully.

"Why do you want to eat with us?" Nian asked.

"We are escaping. We have almost eaten all the food we brought with us. We have been hungry for several days. We don't have much food in our stomachs now. Please be kind and can you give us some food?" the woman said. .

"What a big joke. How can you say this? What are you going to do to us if you don't have money? Why should we give it to you evenly?" Aunt Cuihua refused unceremoniously.

"We can buy your food with money." The woman explained hurriedly.

"Buy with money? Who doesn't know how much money can't buy these days? I think you think we are fools, so leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude." Aunt Cuihua snorted coldly.

"We can give him more money." The woman said with a sad face.

If they had a better attitude, maybe everyone would be soft-hearted and actually give them a few kilograms of food, but this woman said this as soon as she came up, and her character was mediocre, so no one would be willing to help.

Wei Qi drew out the sharp sword in his arms, walked to the villagers, and stood there without speaking. When the other party saw Wei Qi and his sword, he immediately shut up and did not dare to speak again.

Li Zheng immediately set off with everyone. They had to rush as quickly as possible so that they could quickly find a place to rest.

The group of refugees watched them leave and immediately picked up their luggage and followed them.

"Brother Xu, let's just follow them. I think they have swords with them. They must be powerful. If we go behind them, we will be less in danger." The woman said to the other man.

"Well, you are smarter. Everyone, follow them quickly. We will go wherever they go. Don't wander around to avoid encountering bandits." The man warned.

"Okay!" A group of people entered the col in a mighty manner and drove northwest.

After walking for more than two hours, all the way to high places, we were tired and the horses, cattle and mules couldn't bear it, so Li Zheng hurriedly called to Wei Ci and others.

"Daya's family, why don't we take a rest for a while? I think the grass here is good. I'll take the horses to eat some grass."

Shen Nan poked his head out and saw that there was indeed a lot of grass growing on both sides of the road, so he jumped out of the carriage first and asked everyone to take their animals to eat grass and drink water.

In order to make their journey easier, the group killed all the chickens, ducks and rabbits at home. They would have no choice but to wait for them to rest not far away.

Li Zheng saw this scene and ignored it. Anyway, as long as the group didn't provoke them.

Everyone stopped here, and the women took out the iron pots at home and lit a fire to cook.

When the fleeing villagers next door saw this scene, they swallowed their saliva. This was not the most difficult thing. They became even more uncomfortable when the rice porridge in everyone's pots gurgled and smelled of rice.

Originally, Nian was planning to dispose of the hundred kilograms of pork he bought on the way. Now, when the group of people stared at them like hungry dogs, Nian was in trouble.

"Mom, it's okay. We can do whatever we want without worrying about that group of people." Shen Yue glanced at the group of eagerly awaiting villagers indifferently, and the long sword in her hand burst out with light under the sun.

Nian also felt that the meat had to be disposed of as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he spent so much money to buy it, it would be a loss outweighing the gain if it went bad.

Shen Nan rubbed his palms and said to Nian: "Mom, let me cook this meat!"

She had spices in her hand, so what she made must be more delicious. Nian nodded after hearing this, but still washed her hands and cut the meat with her daughter.

Shen Nan will make jar meat from the cut meat. The meat has been marinated with salt and spices for several days and can be taken out and cooked. The jar meat is delicious, but it takes a little time to cook, and I might not be able to leave today.

"Sister, brother-in-law, this meat is very laborious, and it will probably take a long time to cook." Her meaning was self-evident, and Wei Ci asked Li Zheng about staying.

Everyone relied on the Shen family to get here safely and smoothly, so they naturally did not dare to express dissatisfaction, not to mention that most of the villagers who did not have a good relationship with their family stayed in that city, and the villagers here were quite kind. of.

Shen Nan cut the meat, prepared the condiments, and began to cook the pot of meat. Nian and the others cooked and stir-fried in another large pot without disturbing each other.

Wei Yi and others all came to help, Sanwa and Xiaoye were mainly responsible for lighting the fire, and the group was very busy.

After the rice was cooked, Nian began to fry the shredded pork. Smelling the aroma of meat wafting from the Shen family, everyone was obviously a little greedy.

Although they didn't buy a hundred kilograms of pork like the Shen family, they still bought two or three kilograms. They could smell the strong smell of meat and couldn't help it. The family took out a kilogram of meat and gave it to them. The family holds a tooth ceremony.

Originally, there was only one family that ate meat, and the group of people could tolerate it, but now that everyone in the village was cooking meat, they couldn't sit still.

The woman licked her face and took her child with her, wanting to pretend to be pitiful and beg for food. Unexpectedly, before they got close, Wei Er stood in front of them with his sword.
