"Well, I'm glad you have a plan."

After hearing that he had a plan, Chen Wanqing stopped asking questions.

A few days later, there was a bumper corn harvest. Every household received several hundred kilograms of corn and everyone was extremely happy.

For more than ten days in a row, the cave was filled with the aroma of corn. It was as if they would never get tired of it, and they ate corn for two meals a day.

It was not until all the sorghum was collected and distributed that they started eating sorghum again.

When it was time to harvest the sweet potatoes, they were even more shocked because it seemed like an acre of land seemed endless.

They didn't know how many pounds it was because they didn't have a scale, but to them it was a lot.

After all the crops were harvested, each household received several thousand kilograms.

Whether adults or children, everyone was smiling happily, finally they didn’t have to worry about going hungry.

Then the second crop was planted, and this time everyone was more enthusiastic.

Guo Jingtian wants to go out and take a look. Even though there was an epidemic outside before, it has been almost half a year now.

"Wife, can I take someone out to have a look tomorrow?"

Although he had made some decisions in his mind, he still wanted to ask his wife.

"Okay, it's time to go out and take a look."

Chen Wanqing knew that he still wanted to go out and take the imperial examination.

After dawn, Guo Jingtian brought Guo Jingming and Guo Jingxuan, and more than a dozen people went down the mountain together.

When we arrived at their Guojia Village, we actually saw some sheds that had been set up.

The shed was very conspicuous because all the houses in the village had been washed away by water.

"Jingtian, is there anyone else in our Guojia Village?"

When Guo Daoyou saw the shed, he felt happy, after all, they were all from the same village.

"Don't know? Let's go and take a look."

Guo Jingtian walked towards the shed.

"Brother Jincai, Brother Jincai, you're still alive, it's great!"

As soon as he walked over, he saw a familiar person, and Guo Jingxuan quickly ran over to greet him.

Although Guo Jincai is skinny, people who grew up in the same village still recognize him.

"Jingxuan, Jingtian, you are all still alive!"

Guo Jincai was shocked when he saw that so many of his cousins ​​were still alive and looked in good health.

The world is so cruel, but they don’t look like starving people!

"Well, we are all alive. Those of us who followed Brother Jingtian out that day are still alive. How about you?"

When Guo Jingxuan asked this question, he quickly put away his smile.

"Alas, if we had known earlier, we should have followed you. Our family is in such a miserable state.

Now most people have very few left, and only my brothers and I are left in my family.

Alas, parents, children, and women who are slightly weaker in health have no way to resist the plague.

But the only good thing was that we also entered the back mountain at that time and were not killed by the bandits. "

When Guo Jincai thought of those who were tortured to death by the plague, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Because there were 13 people in his family, but now there are only 5 left, his parents and children are all dead.

Although the brothers are still alive, they have nothing now. What hope is there?

"How could there be a plague when you entered the back mountain?"

Guo Jingtian is a little weird.

“When the floods came, many families had no food to eat, so some people started to fish out animals from the floodwaters and cook them.

Within two days, many people began to develop high fever and red spots on their skin.

Some people also experience nausea, vomiting, coma, and other symptoms.

In the end, we had no choice but to separate the sick people from us, and that’s how we survived.”

When Guo Jincai thought of his relatives who were buried alive, he could no longer stop crying.

But they had no choice at the time. There were no doctors or medicines, and there were floods everywhere. They couldn't go out even if they wanted to.

"So that's how it is. The animals in the flood are all poisonous. How can we eat them casually?"

Guo Jingtian sighed and had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of this disaster.

Fortunately, they didn't send anyone out to fish those things out, otherwise they would have suffered as well.

He looked at Guo Jincai, and a hint of sympathy flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the pain of losing a loved one could not be comforted by any words.

"Jincai, my condolences!" Guo Jingxuan didn't know how to comfort him?

Guo Jin was silent for a while before he looked up at Guo Jingtian and the others.

"Although our loved ones are no longer with us, we still have to live on even though things have come to this."

"Yes, we should always look forward. How long have you been back to Guojia Village?"

Guo Jingtian wanted to know more about them.

"It's been almost a month. What about you guys? Where do you live now? How are you doing?"

Guo Jincai also wanted to know about their situation.

"We still live in the mountains and dare not come out. We came out today just to find out what's going on outside."

Guo Daoyou said.

"You look fine. Do you have anything to eat? Can you take us with you?"

Guo Jincai just thought about food and looked at them again, and saw that everyone looked very well indeed.

They didn't look like they were hungry, so I immediately wanted to go with them.

“We can’t take you with us right now because we don’t have anything to eat.

They mostly eat wild vegetables and only occasionally catch some prey.

Jincai, let's go out and take a look first, and we can talk later when we have time."

When Guo Daoyou and the others heard him say that he wanted to go with them, they stopped talking and looked at Guo Jingtian.

Some people still wanted to take them with them, after all, they were from the same village and they were not short of food.

Because each household received a lot of the grain they grew, which was almost enough for them to eat for most of half a year.

But what Guo Jingtian said was clearly a rejection. Although they were from the same village, he didn't know them well enough.

He didn't want to expose the things they planted so quickly.

With such a big secret, I’m afraid he won’t be able to protect his wife and children.

When Guo Jingxuan and Guo Daoyou heard Guo Jingtian say this, they didn't say anything else, but just lowered their heads.

"It's okay, we just want to eat wild vegetables. I want to go with you, is that okay?

Jingtian, don't worry, I won't hold you back.

There aren't many people left alive in Guojia Village now, so please help us?"

Guo Jincai realized that Guo Jingtian didn't want to take him away, and he knelt down immediately.

In fact, they have no food to eat in the village now, and the fields are all covered with silt, making it difficult to grow crops.

Because the mud was like a swamp, people could not go down at all and would sink into the mud once they reached the fields.
