Other side, I hold supplies to help the poor side

Chapter 55
The middle-aged man scratched his head in embarrassment, and smiled very honestly, "No, there are still several people in my family. I will take the car to the front first and find a good place to cook."

His bullock cart was full of things, and there was no room for anyone, so he could only let his family walk slowly.

"Hey, sister, you haven't eaten yet, why don't we go ahead and find a place to join us together, so there is some support on the way to escape from the famine."

Jin Yan saw the sincerity in his eyes, and what he said was actually very tactful, so he smiled knowingly, "Then I will trouble you, brother."

This elder brother has a good heart, in fact, he sees that it is not safe for him to go out as a girl, so he must be worried about being missed by others.

It's very inconvenient for a woman to be outside. Others will form cliques and go together in order to have someone to take care of. A lonely person like her is very easy to be targeted.

Jin Yan was not stupid either, he immediately saw the kindness of others, followed him to the front and then helped out with Jin Jiaojiao.

The elder brother's surname is Zhang, and he has a wife to take care of the second elder, but he has no children.

Jin Yan saw that he took out a few sweet potatoes and buried them in the fire.

"Brother Zhang, will you eat this today?"

Big brother Zhang looked at the fire with some melancholy and went to clean up the things on the cart, "I'm almost gone to eat this way, by the way, girls, eat what you have, if you don't have any, I'll get you a sweet potato. "

Jin Jiaojiao stood beside him and pulled Jin Yan's sleeve. She looked at Jin Yan eagerly, as if telling her not to take other people's things.

Jin Yan touched her head, "No need for Brother Zhang, we still have a lot to eat."

Brother Zhang was relieved immediately, and he greeted them and sat down, "I don't see anyone following you two sisters, so you have to be careful along the way, those thieves are all greedy."

As he spoke, he carefully motioned her to look at the people on the road, and sure enough, all of them were staring at his carriage.

She immediately asked Jin Jiaojiao to enter the carriage to get some food, and then she chatted with Brother Zhang.

"Where is Brother Zhang from?"

"My ancestral family belongs to Jin Yun. I don't think you are from Jin Yun." Brother Zhang looked at the sweet potatoes in the fire while checking to see if his family members were among the passing crowd.

Jin Yan scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, "My sister and I have been at home and didn't go out very much before. This time the drought forced us to be separated from our family, so I want to ask my brother where it is better to go now."

Brother Zhang immediately felt sorry for her. The two girls are so weak and separated from the family. It will be difficult to find them in the future.

"Didn't you hear your family say where you are going? We are in Jinyun now, but the drought in Jinyun is serious. If it is better, it will be Hachinohe and Luxiao."

Jin Yan had never heard of any of these places, so he looked at him in bewilderment.

At this time, Jin Jiaojiao also came over, carried out a beggar chicken, and took a water bag.

He stared straight at the look, and hurriedly stopped the two girls, "Don't you guys have something to eat, why are you still eating Guanyin soil?"

Jin Yan looked back in astonishment, well, the beggar chicken is really not easy to be recognized by people.

She laughed and explained, "This is not Guanyin soil, it's a little dry food made before leaving."

Brother Zhang was relieved immediately, "I also said, you don't look like poor people driving a carriage, why are you still eating Guanyin clay?"

Jin Jiaojiao didn't understand, so he opened his eyes and asked, "What is Guanyin soil? Can soil be eaten?"

"Of course you can eat it. Look at the people on this road, eight out of ten are eating it." Brother Zhang told them this matter vividly, feeling a little heavy.

Jin Yan was shocked, she really didn't know that the severe drought had caused people outside to eat dirt.

Although it wasn't very good in the mountain stream, the two of them haven't been hungry until now.

There was a long drought and no rain in the Western Dendrobium, and the land was full of hunger. The people ate the bark after eating the surplus food at home. After eating the bark, they could only eat soil.

If you want to say how many people have starved to death these years, you can only say that there are many people who starved to death on the streets of several places along the way, and no one has collected their bodies until now.

If you are unlucky, you might meet those lunatics who cannibalize you.

Those who fled famine didn't want to die there, so they left their hometowns, and now they are taking one step at a time.

Jin Yan's mind also became heavy, and after burying the beggar chicken in the fire, he pulled Jin Jiaojiao to sit down.

It didn't take long for Brother Zhang's family to catch up, two gray-haired old men and his wife.

His wife looked anxious, supporting the old man from afar and shouting, "Brother Zhang, is there any water left? Dad is dying soon."

As soon as Brother Zhang heard that it was okay, he immediately got up and went to the car to find a water bottle, and quickly handed it over, "Let Dad drink some water, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help crying, "It's been a hard journey, father and mother are both hungry, and there is no water to drink. My father died on the road just now."

The aunt hurriedly opened the kettle, and was about to feed the old man, when she suddenly saw that it was empty, "Why is there no water?"

She was also in a hurry, wishing to conjure water from her hand.

"Impossible, I remember there are still some." Brother Zhang hurried over to check, and sure enough, the water was gone.

"How can this be done!"

Jin Yan looked at their family's desperation, and hurried over with his water bag, "Drink ours first, the old man should be a little dehydrated."

The aunt looked at her with tears in her eyes, and didn't know what to do for a moment, "This, how embarrassing this is!"

They didn't know each other, so how could they want this girl's things for no reason.

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's important to save your life. Madam, take it quickly."

Brother Zhang had no other choice, so he persuaded his mother, "Mom, these are the two girls I met just now, let's drink first, dad really can't go on like this."

"Yes, auntie, drink it first, the most important thing is to save the old man."

The aunt nodded, and carefully brought the water bag over. It was heavy, and she was shocked that the girl gave herself a full bottle of water!

She didn't dare to let others run out, so she asked her daughter-in-law to pour some out of her own water bottle, and then gave it back to her, "Girl, take care of this water, you can't find water anywhere these days."

Everywhere is dying of drought, and some of the water is robbed by people, so how can I dare to take so much water from others.

After Mrs. Zhang got the water, she quickly fed it to her father-in-law, and took care of him until he woke up before he let out a sigh of relief.

Jin Yan felt that the family was pretty good, so the aunt just poured out her water and refused to take any more.

It is so difficult outside now, if there is water, who would not want it for nothing, people like them are very rare.

"Don't talk so much, ma'am, brother Zhang has always taken care of our two sisters."

The aunt thanked her again and again, and called her daughter-in-law to thank her.

Jin Yan couldn't bear this, so he quickly pulled him back, "Okay, okay, if you do this again, aunt, I really can't stand it."

"That's right, the old man is hungry, so let's eat first." Jin Jiaojiao also comforted them.
