Fleeing from famine! A rough hunter has a fox husband

Shen Nuo was a little dazed, remembering that when they first fled the famine, they were still able to encounter rivers with water. Although the flow was dry, it was still enough for people from several villages to drink.

This place is closer to the south, so it shouldn't be drying up so quickly.

[Host, you have been in the forest for a month. The highest temperature in this month is 58.8 degrees Celsius, and it is the highest in the whole country.]

819 answered Shen Nuo's question.

So, the previous two months combined are just appetizers, and the real disaster is what’s coming next?

819 was silent again, but still answered:

[The host can also understand this. 】

Now Shen Nuo was completely dumbfounded. All those hard days before were just the appetizer?

"It's been almost two months since we left home. Nuonuo, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Shen Nuo's increasingly depressed face, Qin Yan felt a little helpless. He was fine just now, why did he suddenly become sad?

"Ayan, why is my life so miserable..."

Shen Nuo hugged Qin Yan's waist and started crying, but he only said that he had a miserable life.

As for how hard it was, I didn’t say.

Qin Yan had no choice but to comfort him:

"Don't cry, I will always be with you. If there is no water here and we can't find a place to stay, we will continue to go south.

I heard that Jiangcheng in the south is known as the Water City. There are several large rivers there and the river water is inexhaustible.

People in Jiangcheng always go out by boat. Be good, we can just go there. There will always be water there."

His voice was low and gentle, and Shen Nuo was somewhat fascinated by it. He then raised his head:

"Really? Don't lie to me."

His eyes were filled with tears and there was a little dirt on his face, which made him look particularly pitiful.

Qin Yan wiped his face with a towel with concern, and pushed a strand of his scattered hair behind his ear.

"It's true. I once read about it in a travelogue. I also heard about it from my second cousin. He has been traveling around with his father as a bodyguard since he was a child, and he has also been to Jiangcheng."

"Second cousin?"

Shen Nuo was a little confused.

Qin Yan explained patiently.

"He is my eldest uncle's brother. His name is Qin Ran. He is my second cousin, and his husband is my second cousin's husband."

"Is that so? Then where are they? Why can't we see them?"

He knew all the members of the Qin family, except for his second cousin.

"They started escorting people two months ago. They are probably on their way to the south now."

The Qin family was also very worried about them.

Qin Ran got married three years ago, and married a man from the Zhao family in the town.

Zhao Hu had been following his father around as a bodyguard since he was young. Later, for Qin Ran, he bought a house in the town and settled down.

He had not been out on a escort mission for three years. Some time ago, his good friend asked him to deliver a very important item, which should be some medicinal herbs.

Zhao Hu thought it was a good opportunity to take her husband and children out for a walk, so she accepted the offer.

I didn't expect a famine to strike so soon.

"Maybe they will go to Jiangcheng at that time."

Shen Nuo also comforted him.

The others also stared at the fields in a daze.

We are almost reaching Jincheng here. If the situation is still so serious, can Jincheng let them in?

Even if they were allowed in, how long could they stay there?

Thinking of all the unknown things that would happen next, everyone's faces were filled with confusion and helplessness.

They don’t know what to do next, nor do they know where to go to live a good life. They just want to live.

"Don't be depressed, we haven't reached Jincheng yet. Even if we get to Jincheng and find that the situation is still the same, can't we continue to go south?"

Lin Yuanshan spoke loudly and unfolded the map in his hand.

"Look, here we not only have maps to Jincheng, but also maps to other places in the south. We have maps, which is much better than others.

Don't be sad, let's look for a well here now."

At this time, Qin Liang also spoke:

"Yuanshan is right. My son's husband is a bodyguard. He said there is a river city in the south. There is so much water there that you have to take a boat to go out. I think there will be no drought there. Let's go there."

"Really? Then we are still saved?"

"Great, let's hurry up then."

After listening to Qin Liang's description, some villagers seemed to see hope and showed surprised expressions.

They all wanted to set off immediately, the sooner they reached Jiangcheng the better.

"No hurry, let's find some water first. If we can't find any, we can continue on our way."

Qin Liang asked the young and middle-aged men to look for water sources separately.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone came back.

But they didn't bring back any good news, and Qin Yan even discovered something wrong in the village.

He took Qin Liang and Lin Yuanshan to see what he had discovered. They saw a yard in a mess, with scattered clothes and various sundries on the ground.

There was no one in the yard, and there was even a pool of dried blood on the ground.

Everyone else also rushed back here and found that there was no one in the village.

"It's very strange that all their food was taken away, but some clothes and daily necessities were still there."

Shen Nuo looked around at the empty yard and saw a cart in the yard, but there were no cows in the cowshed.

Even if they wanted to move away or escape famine, they couldn't just take the food and cattle with them.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility and whispered:

"Could it be that something bad happened? Otherwise, why would there be blood?"

Moreover, the blood looked like it was spurting out, like... the blood that spurted out after someone slashed his neck.

Lin Yuanshan also noticed this and nodded immediately:

"This village looks like it's been looted. I think there are only a dozen households here. If we encounter bandits..."

"But why did the bandits take everyone away? Shouldn't they just take the food?"

Qin Hao couldn't help but ask.

Shen Nuo glanced at him sideways, hesitated for a moment, and whispered:

"Probably used as food."

"Wha, what?"

"This, this is too..."

Hearing this, Qin Hao and Qin You felt horrified.

If they were really used as food as Shen Nuo said, then wouldn't that mean that all the villagers were captured and eaten by the bandits?

This is too horrible. How could someone dare to eat human beings?

If they accidentally encounter those bandits, can the people of Yunzhu Village resist them?

"Dad, why don't we get out of here quickly?"

Qin Hao couldn't help but say.

I didn't expect the famine to be so serious.

After hearing what Shen Nuo said, Qin Liang and the others all looked solemn.

What Shen Nuo said makes sense, and judging from the current situation, the situation is most likely as Shen Nuo said.

"Let's leave here immediately and head straight towards the town."
