In the afternoon, the old village chief started shouting that it was time to flee the famine.
There is no choice but to flee from the famine, because the defeat is overwhelming.
It seems that soldiers and bandits are about to come and kill people indiscriminately.
Secondly, the harvest here has been poor for two consecutive years, and it has been dry this year. This month, the village has started to run out of water.
Therefore, those who can seek refuge with relatives should do so.
If not, the old village chief will take everyone to Liuhua Country.
The reason why the old village chief led the way was because he was an old man who was originally sent here for reform and finally became a good citizen.
According to him, when he was first exiled here, he had to flee from famine and survived many dangers before reaching this important frontier place.
I originally thought I could die of old age here, but who would have thought that at an age when I already have children and grandchildren, I would have to experience fleeing famine.
Almost all of the Wen family’s relatives live nearby, so it is impossible to seek refuge here.
Before leaving, Xiushui quietly pulled Nai aside and whispered to her that she had a happy planting paradise.
"It's such a good thing, haha, it really is true that there is always a way out. My dear grandson, I will rely on you for my retirement for the rest of my life!"
"Okay, old ancestor, you raised me when I was little, and I will take care of you when you are old."
"My dear grandson..."
The grandfather and grandson were used to making such noise in their previous life, and when they started making noise this time, they received strange looks from the little ones on the shaft of the cart in front.
The old lady quietly moved Xiushui's hand away from her shoulder and warned her in a low voice.
"Hey, Xiushui, let's hurry up and catch up. We are fleeing famine, not going on a trip."
Wen Xiushui really had no idea about fleeing famine.
After having the Happy Planting System, she felt that she could also cheat and roam the world.
However, when she heard crying from several households and people in mourning, she finally felt like fleeing from famine.
The old village chief looked at several families of people coming out covered in white cloth.
"If I didn't want to find another way to make a living for my children and grandchildren, I wouldn't want to go through this anymore.
I'm gone now so as not to be a burden to future generations.
More importantly, he can be laid to rest in peace with a decent coffin.
It’s hard to carry an old man outside…”
The old village chief's words made Wen Xiushui realize for the first time that escaping famine is not so easy.
The dead old people were hastily buried by their children, with tears still in their eyes, and followed the fleeing group southward.
Only a small number of people in this village went to live with their relatives.
Most people chose to follow the old village chief. Even Old Man Xu and Wen's family followed the large group.
However, the Wen family treated them with a dark face, as if they were the ones who did something wrong and they were the ones who were let down.
Who cares about them!
The atmosphere was very depressing as we walked along, and it wasn't just the people from our village who were fleeing.
Almost everyone who got the news along the way was hurrying along, either driving a cart or carrying a load on their back or on their shoulder.
I originally wanted to find out what the system planting paradise was all about, but because I left in a hurry, I didn’t have time.
It was almost dark when they walked, and seeing that the team showed no sign of stopping, Wen Xiushui approached the old village chief.
"Uncle, it's getting dark, and many elderly people and children are having trouble moving around. When can we... stop and get some rest?"
She is a very homebody in modern times, and it is amazing that she can walk 5,000 steps with her grandma.
I have been walking and walking since this afternoon...I didn't run for 20,000 steps.
That leg really doesn't feel like my own leg.
Moreover, after just half a day, she felt that her shoes were about to be worn out.
The old village chief sighed.
"Girl, I know everyone is exhausted.
But we can't stop. Now we have a lot of people and we can follow the main force.
If there are fewer people, it will be easy for other bandits to target us! Sigh, these days..."
Wen Xiushui was shocked when she heard this. Yes, it has been a disaster for two consecutive years.
Now that the border town has been breached again, those people who are in financial difficulty and have ambitions will probably form a team and start robbing people.
He secretly tightened the dagger in his hand and looked at the blunt knife on the car.
Wen Xiushui sighed, why bother cutting pork? This knife was cut at the most timely moment.
After walking for about another hour, according to modern time, it was probably twelve o'clock in the evening.
Tired and exhausted.
Finally, many children in the team burst into tears.
Several younger children in the Wen family can take turns getting on the cart and pushing it.
But even so, I was still shaking from exhaustion.
"We've stopped ahead. Let's pick a place to stop too. Let's all quickly rest and have some food."
A group of people, whose legs and thighs were trembling with hunger, were busy boiling water and cooking without even having time to catch their breath after stopping.
Fortunately, we chose to rest near the river, so water supply was not a problem.
After Xiushui arrived at the place, he collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, his legs were swollen and painful.
No, if you walk in the aisle tomorrow, you must tie it up.
Looking at the worn-out soles of her shoes, Xiushui especially missed modern sneakers.
"Xiushui, don't panic. Dad will weave you a pair of straw sandals right now. They won't hurt your feet."
After hearing Wen Sunan's words, Xiushui noticed this ancient cheap father.
At this time, in the light of the fire, the man still had sweat on his face, but his hands were already skillfully weaving straw sandals.
"Dad, you also have this skill!"
Wen Sunan chuckled and replied, "Well, Dad has always been good at knitting, how come you forgot?"
Wen Xiushui smiled apologetically, reminding herself in her heart that the more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make.
I'd better say less in the future.
However, I am also grateful that this father is very thoughtful.
