Chapter 30: Encountering a Village on the Road

Heading to the official road in Yongqing County, it was dawn and people sleeping on both sides of the official road were waking up one after another.

Last night, Su Yin had no dreams.

Su Baozhu caught a glimpse of the red spots on her arms, “Why do you attract mosquitoes like this?”

“Maybe my blood smells better,” Su Yin joked.

“Hahaha, it’s really possible. I slept next to you and didn’t even get bitten.” Su Baozhu showed off her white and tender hands.

“Go, go.”

Su Yin pushed her away with a smile and walked to Su’s mother, who was making noodles and spreading pancakes.

There are not many pancakes left by Su Yin, so now prepare some for emergencies.

“Eat the food first. There is porridge in the pot.” Mother Su said, moving her hands constantly.

Su Baozhu stepped forward, looked at the pancakes without any seasoning, and couldn’t help but sigh, “The scallion pancakes before were delicious.”

“There are no onions now. If there are onions, it will be simple.” Su Yin also likes to eat it. Onion oil flavor.

Mother Su looked at the two little ones and said angrily: “It’s good to have food, but you still have to be picky.”

Su Baozhu stuck out her tongue guiltily.

In the past few days of fleeing from famine, she had eaten better than she had at home. If it weren’t for fleeing famine, the feeling would be better than that of a god.

She felt more and more that it was a wise decision to follow Su Yin.

Su Baozhu filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to Su Yin. Su Yin didn’t take it. She pointed to the woods behind her and turned around to walk into the woods. She purposely walked away from everyone to avoid everyone. As soon as she squatted down, she saw sharp eyes on the opposite side.

There are green onions swaying in the gaps between the stones, and the morning dew is still hanging on the branches.

Su Yin quickly took care of her physiological needs and ran to the opposite side of the stone, where there was only a handful of wild onions.

There are wild onions here and there will certainly be some around.

Sure enough, I found a few more places not far away. They were sparse and not growing very well. Maybe it was related to the drought. It wouldn’t be long before I was afraid that I would die of thirst.

“Green onion!”

Su Baozhu noticed the green onion in Su Yin’s hand at a glance, and was inexplicably surprised.

Wash the scallions, cut them into small sections, and give them to Su Mu to make dry scallion pancakes.

As soon as this pancake is baked in the pan, the aroma of green onions immediately wafts out, whetting one’s appetite.

Xiao Yanggui smelled the smell and came up to him with a poop.

“Auntie, what are you cooking for?” the little guy asked in a sweet voice.

“Onion pancake.”

Mother Su handed the first pancake to the greedy little Yanggui.

The younger aunt came over to mention her son, “You greedy boy.”

She smelled the smell and couldn’t help but take a few more sips, and asked curiously: “Auntie, where did you find these green onions?”

“I didn’t find them. Yes, you have to ask Yinyin.”

Su Yin pointed to the grove behind, “Go forward and you will see a stone about three hundred meters away. I saw it nearby, little aunt. Look around that area, maybe there are some. I just found some, but I didn’t look around carefully because I thought they were enough. “

The onion-flavored dry pancake smells like white flour.

The younger aunt, the older aunt, and the second aunt were walking into the mountains with their things. Several families nearby saw them and followed them closely. Whether they could find them depends on their abilities.

After a while, my aunt came back happily with a handful of spring onions. Each house found some, but those who wanted to go in and look for them again would not have such good luck.

Yang Li was urging everyone to pack their bags and set off. Several families found scallions and had no time to make scallion pancakes, so they had to wait until they had a rest in the evening.

At noon, the sun was shining, and everyone hid under the shade of the trees to rest.

There are villages in the mountains in the distance, and people are working in the fields.

The eldest uncle looked at the wheat ears in the field and couldn’t help but sigh, “The wheat ears here are not good, they are all withered and yellow.”

The second uncle squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil in the field. It was dry and cracked and lacked moisture.

“It’s more serious here than ours.”

The working farmers noticed them, and after a while, a group of people came towards them.

Yang Li and others stood up one after another, and the man subconsciously protected the woman and child behind him.

Yang Li stepped forward and cupped his hands slightly.

“I am Li Zheng of Xinghua Village. I will rest here temporarily and will not disturb you.”

The old man leading the opposite bowed his hands and said, “Don’t misunderstand! I am Li Zheng of this village. I am not here to drive you away. Look at this Are they from Minzhou?”

This is to suspect that they are refugees from Minzhou.

“Li Zheng misunderstood, we are people from Dongtu County.”

Those who heard that they were from Dongtu County were very surprised. Although Meizhou was drought-stricken, there was still a glimmer of hope. They were really shocked by the fact that they were dragging their families to flee the famine. .

The chief responded quickly, “Brother, can you tell me why you left Dongtu County?”

Yang Li looked at them in surprise, “Don’t you know that the victims of the disasters in Yunzhou, Minzhou, and Ganzhou are in Yuzhou? On the contrary, it is coming towards us.”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of those people changed.

In the past few days, they had been in the fields and saw large groups of people rushing past from time to time. There are usually many carriages on the official road, but during this period there were many more than usual, and no one paid attention.

Now that I heard what Yang Li said, I already believed it, but I still had a little hope in my heart and didn’t want to believe it.

“This, how is this possible!”

“Why haven’t you heard anything about it?”

Li Zheng glanced at the people who were talking coldly, and then looked at Yang Li with a smile, “Seriously?”

“If it’s not true, what will happen to us? Why leave your homeland and suffer this crime? Brother, let me tell you the truth again.”

When I came from Dongtu County and passed through Fushun County, Fushun County had closed the city gate to prevent those mobs. “

Every word Yang Li said made their hearts tremble.

“Brother, you have to make plans early.”

Yang Li said no more. Some things have to be settled as soon as possible. As for how they choose in the future, it is their own business. You cannot dominate other people.

Li Zheng thanked Yang Li and said, “Thank you, brother, for reminding me.”

They wanted to go back to discuss things, so they left in a hurry without staying much.

Su Baozhu approached Su Yin, “Do you think they will believe it?”

“I don’t know.”

Maybe they believe it, maybe they don’t, just like Xinghua Village and Lijia Village are the best examples.

If you believe, there is a glimmer of hope.

If you don’t believe it, the butcher’s knife is coming.

After a short rest, the team set off again. In the evening, the team arrived at the boundary of Yongqing County.

Yang Li was looking at the boundary monument. There were many abandoned tea sheds on both sides of the official road. There was nothing in the tea sheds except dead leaves.

“Let’s rest here tonight and try to get into the city early tomorrow morning.”

As soon as they heard about the break, everyone pushed their cars to the side of the road.

Su Yin led her own mule cart, tied the mule under the tree, and fed and watered the mule.

Su Baozhu went to the woods behind to look for firewood, while Su’s mother was busy setting up a cooking fire.

Yang Li was discussing tomorrow’s affairs with several people in charge.
