Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

After Li Qingfeng returned to the house, he did not rest or sleep. After all, it was just past noon and there was no rush to rest.

Li Qingfeng emptied his mind and entered the space with his consciousness to sort out the things he had collected from the landlord's house today. Otherwise, it would be a mess and he would feel bad looking at it. He worked with his mind for about an hour. It took him four or five times to pack up the items. Seeing the storage room with the sundries sorted out, Li Qingfeng felt relieved.

He left the house and came to the spiritual spring. He drank the water while looking at the crops in the field. The potatoes were almost ripe, and he had to pull out a potato seedling soon. He couldn't just drink the spring water, as his stomach would not be able to take it, so he had to eat something.

He looked at the vegetable garden next to him and saw that it was growing well. He looked at it in the space for a while and pulled out a potato seedling. There were a total of 6 small potatoes, about the same size as his brother Li Qingshan's fist. They were enough for 2 meals, so he used his mind to take the cleaned potatoes out of the space.

After Li Qingfeng came out, he first packed up the things he wanted to take away from his room, and put them on the cart. Then he went to his brother Li Qingshan's room. When he entered the room, he saw that his brother was not asleep, but lying down and fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan. So he said, "Qingshan, let's leave when it's almost dark, when it won't be too hot."

Li Qingshan opened his eyes and said directly without getting up: "I know, brother."

Li Qingfeng continued, "Qingshan, pack up the things you want to take with you. I found six potatoes in the village and will roast them soon. Let's eat something before we leave."

When Li Qingshan heard that there was food, he immediately stood up and responded, "Got it, brother."

Li Qingfeng smiled and shook his head, then went straight to the kitchen, took some straw and used a flint to light a fire, and added some thin firewood. At this time, his younger brother Li Qingshan walked over quickly: "Brother, I'll do it."

Li Qingfeng smiled, gave the potatoes to his brother, and went back to the house to rest without saying anything else.

I don't know how long it took, but my younger brother Li Qingshan's voice came from outside the house: "Brother, the potatoes are baked, come out and eat some while they are hot."

Li Qingfeng opened his eyes and shouted, "I know, I'll come."

Li Qingfeng went out of the house and came to the kitchen. He saw his younger brother Li Qingshan had already eaten a potato, so he said, "Qingshan, just eat two. We have to be frugal. We can eat the rest on the way."

When Li Qingshan heard what his elder brother said, he took back his hand that was about to take the potato: "Got it, brother."

After Li Qingfeng finished eating a potato, he put away the remaining four potatoes and packed up his things. He also left a message that the two brothers fled to Sijiu City to escape famine, and left a letter for his father who was unknown whether he was dead or alive. In case what the villagers said was true, they were rescued by the guerrillas, then when his father came back he would know where his brothers had gone.

Afterwards, the two brothers pulled the cart out of the yard and closed the door. Li Qingfeng stood at the gate of the yard looking at the home of this era.

Li Qingshan said in a tearful voice: "Brother, can we come back?"

Li Qingfeng nodded firmly and said in an affirmative tone: "Yes, brother. Our mother is still buried here. After we settle down in Sijiu City, we will come back to pick up our mother." After that, he pulled the cart and headed north without looking back.

After hearing his brother's words, Li Qingshan wiped the tears from his face and quickly chased after his brother Li Qingfeng.

 …

The Li Qingfeng brothers stopped and walked along the way, and only walked thirty or forty miles in one night. They haven't even left Anyang County yet?

It was hard to see the surroundings in the middle of the night, but as soon as the sky brightened, Li Qingfeng found that the surroundings were desolate. There was no green or human figure to be seen.

At this time, his younger brother Li Qingshan said weakly: "Brother, let's take a rest! I really can't walk anymore."

Li Qingfeng also knew his brother's situation. He had been holding back all the way, and only said this when he could no longer hold back. So he said, "Qingshan, get on the cart and eat some potatoes, then take a rest. I'll pull you along for a while, and we'll rest in the village ahead."

Li Qingshan asked: "Brother, aren't you tired?"

Li Qingfeng responded softly: "It's okay, I can still hold on. Qingshan, hurry up and get in the car. It will be hard to walk when it gets hot."

"I know, brother."

After Li Qingshan finished speaking, he slowly got onto the cart, took out a potato and started eating.

After Li Qingfeng watched his brother sit firmly, he slowly pulled the cart and walked away. Don't think about leaving. It seems that I have to feed my younger brother some spiritual spring water to improve his physique. This place is still far away from the Forty-Nine City! Otherwise, I will be exhausted on the road.

After walking for a while, he heard the sound of his younger brother coming from behind. Li Qingfeng laughed silently, and while pulling the cart, he used his mental power to scan the surroundings to see if anyone had dropped anything valuable.

Li Qingfeng walked for about half an hour and saw a dilapidated village not far ahead. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was quite strong, so Li Qingfeng thought that he would not go on for the day. He would rest in this village for a while and continue his journey when the sun was not so strong in the evening. He would do this in the future, rest when the sun was strong during the day and travel at night. This would save some energy and prevent the body from losing too much water.

Li Qingfeng was walking in the village with his cart. When he saw a nice yard, he slowly parked the cart and went in to take a look. He thought it was okay, so he woke up his brother: "Qingshan, wake up and go to sleep in the house first! I'll go around the village, you just wait for me in this house."

When Li Qingshan heard his elder brother's voice, he responded in a daze: "Okay, brother." After that, he got off the cart and walked into the house.

Li Qingfeng pulled the cart into the yard, closed the door and went out to search around to see if he could find some money or other valuables. He didn't know how many good things he could collect on the way to Sijiu City, but the more the better. Thinking of this, Li Qingfeng smiled and continued to go back to the village.

Suddenly seeing a well in the center of the village, Li Qingfeng walked over with excitement. As it was too dark below the well, Li Qingfeng used his mental power to carefully and slowly explore downwards. After a while he reached the bottom of the well. There was only a small layer of water below the well, about one centimeter deep. It seemed that water had slowly seeped out from the bottom of the well during this period of time.

Li Qingfeng quickly took out an earthenware jar from the space, and then used his mental power to put everything into the jar. Of course, Li Qingfeng also used his mental power to remove the obvious impurities in the water, and also took out two drops of spiritual spring water from the space. He would let his brother drink more of this later, so as to strengthen his brother Qingshan's physique.

After Li Qingfeng finished, he put it into the space. It was so hot now and the water evaporated quickly. Otherwise, there would be no water to drink in a while, which would be a big loss.

After walking around the village, he didn't find anything good. The village was relatively small, with no landlords but only two wealthy families, so Li Qingfeng walked back slowly.
