When Yu Qingqing heard her father say this, she still felt a little regretful.
Because she still wanted to take out the wheat in the space as soon as possible so that she could eat the wheat cakes earlier.
At least I don’t have to eat those throat-cutting brown rice cakes anymore.
But their time was indeed precious, and they couldn't afford to waste even a little bit of it. So, hurrying on was more important, and she had no choice but to compromise.
"Dad, I'll listen to you. As for the tool, we can get it later when we have the chance. I can figure it out myself."
It is really important to hurry up now. If our family goes to the town alone, there will still be danger later. It is better for us to go with others.
This will save a lot of trouble. My daughter will listen to you. Let's continue on our journey and not go to town."
Yu Qingqing looked at the big words "Hukou Town" with a bit of regret several times.
Then he forced himself to turn around and follow Yu Qingshu to continue on his way. The path they took happened to be next to "Hukou Town".
So they just took a detour. If they went through the town, that would also be possible. They walked from the outside and didn't take too much of a detour.
So whether you walk inside or outside the town, the impact is not that big. It's just that it's more convenient to buy things inside the town.
"Qing'er, don't worry. Your dad will definitely make the thing you mentioned when he has time. You don't have to worry too much.
The main thing is that now we finally met someone from the same village. We followed quietly behind to avoid putting our family in danger.
Daddy really doesn't want you to be in any danger. If you really are in danger, Daddy and your eldest brother are too weak to handle it alone!
Dad, this is also for the sake of the overall situation. When we get to the next town, I will definitely find a way to get in and find the thing you mentioned."
Yu Qingshu turned around and saw Yu Qingqing, who looked a little lost, so he spoke to comfort her. He had no choice, after all, the matter at hand was the most important.
The safety of the family was better than anything else. When they were able to completely escape danger, they could go to town to buy what they wanted.
There are still a few people coming in and out of the town now.
Although the county magistrate had ordered a search before, he was not so strict after finding the person.
But after this incident, the number of people in the town has obviously decreased. Now, the number of people setting up stalls in the town is also decreasing.
Because the price of food in the town is getting more and more expensive, many people no longer live in the town, and everyone moves to other places with their families.
The number of people fleeing famine is really increasing, and the group is getting bigger and bigger.
The road that Yu Qingqing and her friends were walking on had many bends, and they had to turn a corner every once in a while.
Next to it is a mountain made of huge rocks. There is sparse grass on the rocks, which is still growing tenaciously.
Not far from the hillside, you can occasionally see one or two families standing alone, seemingly out of place with the bustling town.
The sun was still very scorching at this time, hanging high above Yu Qingqing and the others' heads.
Although it was difficult to travel under the scorching sun, no one complained.
Only five meters away from Yu Qingqing and her family, the people in the village ahead were not so cooperative.
"Oh! I won't go on! I'm so tired! Village chief! You don't want us to live. You don't even know it's sunny like this. Can you let us rest for a while before we go?"
A woman with wrinkles on her face put on a bitter face. The expression on her face looked uglier than crying.
She just sat down on the ground, unwilling to move forward.
After resting for a while, she used her dry and black chicken claw-like hands to rub her equally thin soles with great effort.
After she rubbed it, the extremely sore soles of my feet felt much better.
Her husband was standing next to her, looking at her helplessly.
Soon, some people in the crowd followed suit and sat on the ground like the woman, unwilling to continue walking.
"That's right, Village Chief! I'm so tired! The sun is so bright, I really can't walk anymore.
Look at my feet, they've got a lot of blisters. If I keep walking, my legs will break!"
Another younger woman in the crowd also sat down on the ground, unwilling to continue walking.
She took off her worn-out shoes with many holes in them.
I threw it aside and then looked at the blisters on the soles of my feet.
Soon, someone in front reported the situation to the village chief, who then walked back with a cane.
The village chief, Li Hujiang, was in his early 50s. He led over 200 households in the village to escape the famine. They encountered robbers along the way, and many died.
Now there are only more than 100 households left, with a total of only two to three hundred people.
"Everyone, let's talk about this. Should we keep walking or rest? I'll listen to you all. The sun is really strong right now.
But we still have a long way to go, so we have to walk for a while and then stop for a while.
The more time is wasted, the more people will die. You must think clearly about this.
I won't force anyone to leave. If you want to leave, then leave. If you don't want to leave, then continue to rest."
Village chief Li Hujiang said this very calmly, because this kind of scene has happened more than once.
That's what happened last time, because these people didn't want to walk on the road and wasted time.
That's why he was targeted, and he didn't want to become the target of hatred in the village, so he gave the decision-making power to them.
After hearing the village chief's words, everyone's faces changed. Everyone knew that the last time they were in danger, it was because they stopped and took a long time to get there.
As a result, their village was targeted and many people in the village were killed.
These people haven't learned their lesson yet and can't bear any hardship. They start crying and shouting after walking a few steps.
"Get up now, you bitch! Who are you trying to show off to? Didn't you hear what the village chief said?
Hurry up and get going. You'll have a chance to rest later. If you continue to drag everyone down like this, I'll make you pay."
The first woman who made a noise just now, her husband is called Li Shan, he is 40 years old.
After hearing what the village chief said, he was worried that the village chief would abandon them, so he quickly called his wife to get up and set off.
We must not offend the village chief, otherwise the three of them will not know what to do.
The woman sitting on the ground was also a little scared when she heard her man's words.
Although my feet did hurt, I still put on my shoes reluctantly and slowly stood up.
