At the beginning, I beat Lazy, and the host is cruel.

This walk is quite boring, and you are walking when you are hungry and thirsty. The burning sensation on the soles of your feet makes you even more irritated.

Late Xia's body was accustomed to farm work, but she still couldn't bear it. The main reason was that her shoes were no longer shoes. The soles of her feet were almost worn out. There were stones everywhere on the road, which hurt the soles of her feet. The fire was burning and painful.

There are cracks in the crops on the roadside. At a glance, there is no hope at all.

Crying could be heard from time to time from the fleeing team. The children were all in shock. Some of them couldn't even cry anymore. They howled a few times and their throats hurt like a convulsion. The atmosphere of the entire fleeing team in Shidang Village was special. low.

The end of summer was not particularly uncomfortable. Even if a stone occasionally hit her feet, it would not affect her pace. She could still bear the pain, and she had no feelings for this place. Her mission was to let these two poor girls Just stay alive.

The two little girls are also very strong. The soles of their feet hurt so much that they gritted their teeth and followed the footsteps of the end of summer.

As for these natural and man-made disasters, they all have a certain destiny in her eyes. The current emperor is rich and unkind, arrogant and licentious. He moved the capital from the north to the south in the first year of the drought. He doesn't care about the lives of the people in the north. He As long as you are comfortable.

At the end of the summer, he knew that this was a warning from God. Now the emperor was about to come to an end. When the ruler of the world was changed, he would naturally be in peace and everything would recover.

I didn't stop on the road this afternoon. I didn't know what was going on ahead at noon, so I was delayed for two hours, which was considered a long enough rest.

The pace of late summer was faster and I quickly followed the team.

After driving for an hour, Xia Mo saw that a deep river nearby had dried up, so he took his two girls down there for a quick refreshment and a drink of water.

Xiaobao also woke up at this time, peed, and drank happily, but he was still hungry!

At the end of Xia, he still held Xiaobao and chased the large army. It was not strenuous enough to let him go with such a small child.

Song Laicai saw the mother and son parked on a slope from a distance, thinking they were waiting for him. He snorted viciously and cursed a few times.

As a result, before he could catch up, the mother and son left again.

Song Laicai rushed to the place where the mother and son were standing. He looked down and saw several wet places in the ditch. He understood everything in an instant and was so angry that he almost passed away.

Xia Mo took his three children with him and soon caught up with the last family in the team.

Listening to the footsteps coming from behind, Mrs. Shi, the original neighbor, looked back and exclaimed.

"My mother, Qingcao, why are you carrying so many things?"

At the end of Xia, she was immersed in walking and didn't notice that Aunt Shi was talking to her. She didn't realize for a moment that her name was Meng Qingcao now.

Aunt Shi looked at the empty-handed sisters and couldn't bear it. She advised, "Qingcao, divide your things between the two sisters and carry them. You are holding the child alone. Carrying so much stuff is too much for your body."

Only then did Xia Mo realize that the aunt was talking to her.

Xia Mo smiled, knowing that she meant well, "It's okay. The child is too young and the person carrying the things can't keep up. I'm used to doing the work, so I can still handle this little thing."

Aunt Shi sighed helplessly and looked at the two thin little girls. They were indeed too young.

The afternoon sun was so strong and poisonous that the villagers soon couldn't bear the burden of carrying heavy loads. Some of the younger children couldn't bear it and fainted.

But the overall team is still moving forward, but at a much slower pace. This is how collective migration is. If something happens to someone, it will delay everyone's time.

The fainted child had to be carried away by his family, while the smaller one was carried on his back and continued on the road. There was no shade here, so he couldn't rest even if he wanted to. The sun would dry him to death.

Finally, when the sun was about to go down, we arrived at the foot of a mountain, with the mountain at our back so we could enjoy the cool weather. Maybe we could catch some prey on the mountain, and we could find some food and drink in the mountain.

There is nothing on the plain as far as the eye can see.

By the time the families at the end of the team arrived at the foot of the mountain, some people had already found some food and burned it.

At the end of summer, Aunt Shi and her family found a place at the foot of the mountain. There was a rock protruding from the top, which seemed safer.

There are three or four meters between the two families. The place is quite big. The nearest villager is more than ten meters away. This mountain is not small, but it is a little bald by the team that escaped from the famine.

Da Niu and Er Niu went to collect firewood with Brother Tiedan from Da Niu's family.

Although Tiedan's intelligence is a bit low, he is very efficient at work and has been well educated by Aunt Shi.

At the end of the summer, she put away the things and let the two sisters look at the good things. She and Aunt Shi went up the mountain to find some food.

Xia Mo took an empty bamboo stick and followed Aunt Shi towards the mountains.

She felt that there was a yin energy in this mountain, and there should be several springs. Since there was water, there would be some food.

Aunt Shi is just out of habit. Every time she reaches the foot of the mountain, she always goes up to look for it.

She knew that even if there was some food on the mountain, it had been found by the people at the front of the team. They were slow and could only try their luck to see if they had missed anything.

Aunt Shi followed the late summer and climbed up the mountain while it was still dark. All the way up, not even a blade of grass was seen. They were all bald by the victims. In some places, even the grass roots were pulled out and taken away.

Aunt Shi couldn't help but sigh as she walked, but she was unwilling to go back empty-handed. She could only climb up with resignation, hoping for good luck to come.

Xia Mo walked in a damp and humid direction, and Aunt Shi followed behind, looking left and right.

"Tick tock~~~tick tock~~~"

Aunt Shi suddenly stopped and reached out to hold Xia Mo.

"Green...Qingcao, listen quickly to see if there is any sound of water droplets."

Aunt Shi's voice trembled with excitement. She was a little afraid that it was her auditory hallucination, so she held Qingcao's wrist tightly.

"Hmm, there is indeed the sound of water dripping. Let's look for it quickly."

Xia Mo nodded cooperatively and started looking for him seriously.

Aunt Shi also listened carefully with her ears pricked up, and she picked up the rocks bit by bit to find them.

At the end of Xia, I pretended to search for it for a while, and then went straight to the water source.

This water source is quite hidden, a natural, short cave formed between two inconspicuous rocks.

There are yellow weeds in front of the cave entrance. If you don't pull away the weeds, you won't find a cave inside, let alone the dripping spring water.

Aunt Shi could hear the sound of water. That was because she and Xia Mo were the only two people on this mountain, and there was no unnecessary noise, so she could hear it clearly. If a group from the village had come up, there would have been so many people and noisy people that they would have missed it.

"Auntie, come on, here."

Xia Mo trampled the weeds in front of the cave and shouted to Mrs. Shi who was not far away.

Aunt Shi ran over in a few steps, quickly stretched out her rough hands and covered Xia Mo's mouth.

"Sister-in-law, please keep your voice down. If we attract people from other villages, we won't be able to get anything."

Aunt Shi whispered nervously.

Xia Mo nodded, and then Aunt Shi let go of her hand.

Don't look at Xia Mo calling her "Auntie", in fact, this Auntie Shi is only in her early 30s, two years older than Meng Qingcao, but she is a generation older than her.

Aunt Shi was also a hard-working woman who fled famine with her mother-in-law and stupid son. No matter how difficult the journey was, she never left behind her elderly mother-in-law and son with a low IQ.

Aunt Shi's son, Shi Tiedan, had a difficult delivery when he was born. He was held in the birth canal for a long time. He was born with a purple face and lack of oxygen, so his intelligence was affected.

When Aunt Shi's husband went hunting in the mountains, he encountered a tiger and died immediately.

Under the repeated blows of several events, Aunt Shi suddenly aged more than ten years. She was frowning all day long, and her face looked particularly miserable. She survived strongly because she was worried about her silly son and her elderly mother-in-law.
