Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

The space in the donkey cart is not big, but it is more than enough to sit two people and two rattan baskets. It is ventilated on all sides. After all, this is the cheapest quality one. Fortunately, it is not winter now and the journey is not very far.

Xu Yuan looked at the copper coins in his hand and thought, it would be better to use some to buy some food. So he asked the driver to stop at the food store to buy some food.

Fu Ji Grain Shop is located on the west side of the street, opposite to a garment shop. The meat shops on both sides have already closed their stalls. It is around three or four o'clock in the afternoon and there are not many customers, making it a little deserted.

A very young shop assistant was half leaning on a chair, with his legs crossed and his eyes slightly narrowed. He was spinning two stones in his hands. When he heard the sound of someone entering the door, he quickly perked up and walked over to greet her, "Miss, what are you looking for? Feel free to take a look."

I wished to see a lot of fine rice, each grain was plump and white, the flour was fine and without any impurities. I looked at the copper coins in my hand, alas, I was short of money and couldn't afford it, so I looked at the cheap ones. Brown rice was five cents a pound, and coarse flour was eight cents a pound. I spent thirty-four cents to buy two pounds of brown rice and three pounds of coarse flour to take back.

Look for wild vegetables on the way and put them together to make pancakes.

After weighing, they returned to the car. Gu Qinghan also got off the car and came back with two bags of grain in his arms, one big and one small. As soon as he got on the car, he handed the bigger bag to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan felt a bag of food in his arms, which felt like the shape of rice. He looked at Gu Qinghan in confusion.

"This is given to you as a reward for helping me heal my injuries." Gu Qinghan explained.

There is such a beautiful thing! Since it is given to me, I will take it. I am not a person with good quality.

"Since you are so sincere, I won't be polite. Thank you." Xu Yuan hurriedly put the bag of rice in his arms for safekeeping.

The donkey cart set off soon, without stopping much on the way, and traveled in a hurry for two days.

On the third day, the two got off the car at the southern city. After all, there was an earthquake, and it would be difficult to walk here, so they decided to walk back after reaching the southern city.

The coachman looked at the dilapidated scene and sighed. "I didn't expect the earth to turn over so seriously. It's really a world of difference. It's really pitiful. Girls and boys, you must be careful when you go back to look for your families. I'm leaving first, so please be safe!"

Xu Yuan waved goodbye, Gu Qinghan nodded, turned around and walked quickly towards South City.

The road surface was cracked, rocks and soil were scattered everywhere, and trees were cut in half.

"Don't worry, nothing happened to the people in Qingshan Village." Xu Yuan looked at the person in front of him whose footsteps were so fast that he was about to fly. If he hadn't cared about himself, that person might have just flown away.

Oh, it’s amazing to have the ability of lightness skill!

When Gu Qinghan heard Xu Yuan say this, he stopped and looked at Xu Yuan.

"you……"

Do you trust me so much?

Xu Yuan nodded and smiled, "Keep it a secret!" Then he walked around Gu Qinghan and walked in front.

They had to walk back to the South City, which was neither close nor far. Fortunately, both of them were in good physical condition. It took them two hours to get there. The surroundings were in chaos, and only the city wall tower remained standing.

At this time, a number of tripod sheds had been set up in the open space next to the city wall. Some villagers formed teams to come in and pick up leaks from the collapsed houses and look around.

Children were playing and fighting nearby, while women were picking wild vegetables and chatting.

The collapsed houses and cracked roads behind me seemed to indicate that sadness and pain did not cover this place.

The whole family is together and everyone is safe and sound. What a wonderful and lucky thing it is!

However, this was only on the surface. Village Chief Gu was a little anxious at this time, but he was still calm on the surface. Gu Qingming knew that his brother had gone out for something and was not here.

It’s better not to be here, at least my brother is safe.

Gu Qinghan thought so truthfully.

Village Chief Gu was very pleased when he saw his youngest son's earnest tone as he advised him.

Xu Qing was also worried about her eldest son. She couldn't sleep all night. She secretly wiped her tears at night, prayed to God for protection, and comforted herself that he hadn't come back for so many days. He must have been delayed by something or was still on the road. Naturally, she was much weaker and couldn't eat. But in order not to worry her husband and youngest son, she could only suffer silently.

The situation on Xu Zhi's side is not so good. It is understandable that Xuanyu hasn't seen his elder sister for one day, but after so many days, this kid is obviously a little angry.

Every day before going to bed, she would ask, "Where's your elder sister?" Xu Zhi could only answer that she had gone out for something and would be back the next day.

The next day, I opened my eyes and asked, "Sister, sister, why can't I see you?"

Xu Zhi: Maybe he was delayed on the way and may be back tomorrow.

After asking back and forth for a few days, Song Guozi also came to ask.

Xu Zhi: "..."

Sister, please come back soon!

The old beggar was still lying there as usual, looking at the three siblings. It was so interesting!

Uncle Wang and Aunt Li would come over from time to time to feed him cakes, and seeing that the old beggar felt sorry for him, they would also give him some food.

After some interactions, Uncle Wang and the old beggar became like-minded and became brothers.

"I'm telling you to stay with us, Lao Liu. You don't have a fixed place to live anyway, so we can be companions."

……

As the sun set, the two finally reached the city wall.

"Brother, brother, father and mother, brother and sister Yuan, ahhhhh" Gu Qingming, Xuanyue and Song Guozi were lying in a row watching the sunset in the sky, when they suddenly saw two figures walking towards the roadside.

Gu Qingming excitedly pulled the clothes of the person next to him, shouted, and quickly put them on. He ran over with his hands waving and shouting.

Xuanyu and Song Guozi were not afraid to give in and immediately ran over, "Big sister, big sister, big sister!"

The three kids were jumping up and down. Xuyuan looked at the three children with red cheeks and silly smiles, and took out the lychees and shared them with the three children.

"What is this? It's red and beautiful."

"Eat it, it's lychee."

Xuyuan broke the shells for the three children and stuffed them into everyone's mouths.

"It's delicious, sweet and sour. Thank you, Sister Yuan. Even though it tastes good, don't eat too much. Eating too much of this fruit will hurt your throat. Remember that."

The three children nodded repeatedly.

Gu Qinghan carried Gu Qingming on his back, said goodbye to Xu Yuan, and left first.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry. I'll find a good place soon. We'll have a home now."

When Song Guozi and many others heard the news, they were all excited and chattered.

Seeing that he looks a little thin, I feel very distressed. Fortunately, he is finally settling down!

The villagers who were still busy also stopped and looked at the two people who had returned.

Looking at Gu Qinghan who walked back first, and Xu Yuan who walked back behind.

These two children are finally back!

but……

"She looks so familiar, isn't she... Turns out to be a girl."
