My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

Chapter 40 No.40: There is also a disaster here

I didn't hear that Qingzhou was also hit by a severe drought and locust plague!
Everyone sat slumped under the boundary stone, unable to raise their spirits for a while.

Guan Shan is also a little confused, this is indeed Qingzhou, that's right, if you walk a little further, you will find Baoting Town under the administration of Qingping County, Huayang Prefecture. He came here last year, and he is still staying in the big inn in Baoting Town Pass.

The harvest in Yunzhou Mansion was not good last year, but Huayang Mansion was not affected. When he came last year, the trees were lush and the scenery was picturesque.

I thought that after leaving Yunzhou and entering Qingzhou, they would be able to eat and drink, even if they were not the first, they would only be able to pick up other people’s stuff when they came here, but as long as they have something to eat, that’s a bite to eat, and they can support them to continue Go forward.

But now the situation is that there is nothing to pick up. The drought here is the same, and the trees are all bare without seeing the shadow of the wild vegetables or even the roots of the wild vegetables.

This is really depressing.

Fleeing from famine and leaving home, I walked all the way, hundreds of miles, almost a month, and I haven't grown yet.

"What shall we do now?"

"Keep going? Hungry, bored."

"What the hell is going on!"

"."

Behind the boundary stone lay a motionless old woman, her rolling eyes proved that she was still alive. She saw so many refugees in this group, all of them were so surprised and desperate, she felt that she had seen it. Her from two days ago.

After finally arriving in Qingzhou, my wife is gone, and my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter are gone.

There is no way out, and she will die soon, and will rot in the soil below her.

"If you can still go, keep going." She said weakly.

Xu Dajun, who was close, heard what she was saying first, knelt down and got closer, and heard her barely detectable voice, intermittently, "Huayang Mansion is also, the disaster is still there, go, just, have a way out "

He wanted to listen and ask more, but the old woman had closed her eyes and was out of breath.

Only then did Xu Dajun retreat and said: "She said that Huayang Mansion was also in disaster, so we have to move on."

Huayang Mansion is next to Yiyang Mansion, how is Yiyang Mansion?Old man Xu wasn't sure if he could go to his younger sister.

Everyone's mentality was a little bit broken, and they were so hungry that they couldn't hold on anymore, and they couldn't hold on to the steamed buns they had licked many times in their arms, so they just took them out and ate them.

The old Xu's family can still get half of the corn bread.

Let's eat, eat and sleep, let's talk about it after dawn.

When the sky gradually dawned and everyone was still lying down, Xu Chunshan moved close to Xu Yinyin, and his voice was so low that only Xu Yinyin could hear him say, "Give me some glucose."

He added some strength to see the situation ahead.

No one will notice him now.

The father and daughter had a tacit understanding, without explaining, Xu Yinyin knew what he wanted to do, and with a thought, she grabbed the bottle of glucose in her hand.

Xu Chunshan quickly took it, using the boundary stone to block it, unscrewed the lid and quickly took a sip, then stuffed it back to Xu Yinyin.

When Xu Yinyin picked it up, she sent it back to the space in a hurry.

After drinking the water, Xu Chunshan took a deep breath, subconsciously, and turned his eyes to the front of Li Mingli.

There is a village in front of it. I looked around, but I didn't see anyone living there. It was like a village of the dead, lifeless.

Continue to go forward and there is a town more than ten miles away. Looking at the street shops, it is a big town, and it should be very prosperous in the past.

The reason why I say the original is because the town is very depressed at the moment, and the lanterns hanging at the entrances of many shops are either broken or have fallen to the ground.

This town has been abandoned, it is an empty town.

keep going...

No, I'm about to lose my strength, Xu Chunshan quickly looked away, and sighed faintly.

Seeing his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law looking at him, he shook his head, indicating that the situation was not very good.

Not long after, old man Xu sat up, and the old men got together again.

After thinking about it all night, I still have to move on, otherwise it wouldn't be a problem.

Let's go.

A group of people suppressed their doubts and continued to move forward.

When we arrived in Baoting Town, it was already dawn, and no one in the town was seen. Every house closed its doors, and it was unknown if there was anyone there.

Seeing how the formerly prosperous town had turned into this, Guan Shan couldn't recover.

What he originally thought was that when he arrived in Baoting Town, the shopkeeper of Dayou Warehouse knew his father well, and he would pay a visit with a shy face, so he would be able to grab a meal and drink no matter what.

But the doors of Dayou warehouse are all broken, and the tables and benches inside are in a mess, and there is no one.

Going forward, the same is true for the largest inn in Baoting Town in the past. The three-story pavilion is empty if it is said to be empty.

The whole Baoting Town is said to be in depression, but it can be seen that it happened in a short period of time, not more than two months.

Along the way, I passed through many deserted villages, and finally reached the town of Qingzhou. It was hard for everyone to believe that there was no one in such a big town, and they couldn't find any food or drink.

But the fact is that there are none. The wells seen in the town are all dry, and the back kitchens of restaurants and inns are also empty, and there is nothing.

The various shops selling food seemed to have been looted long ago, and the empty ones were only for decoration.

After confirming that the town is really empty, a group of people can only continue to move forward with difficulty.

I went through two small towns in a row, and the conditions were similar. The people I met were all ragged refugees like them.

And the weather seems to be colder, the sun above the head is gone, the sky is gray, and the clothes on the body can't hold up, so a group of people who have cotton clothes hurriedly put on the cotton clothes.

As soon as the cotton coat is put on, half of the belongings on the cart are empty, and it is easier to push.

In the evening, I happened to come across a ruined temple, so I rested in the ruined temple. In this weather, if I slept in the open air, people would freeze to death if they didn't starve to death or thirst.

After another three days of hard walking, I arrived outside the city of Huayangfu.

From a distance, I could see some refugees nesting under the city tower, but in broad daylight, the city gate was not opened, it was tightly closed.

Old man Xu looked around and asked a refugee of about the same age what was going on here.

The old man folded his hands on his elbows, curled up in the cold, and didn't lift his head, "Don't even think about it, this city doesn't let refugees in."

"Brother, why are you still nesting here? Aren't you going forward?" Old man Xu was curious.

Only then did the old man look up at old man Xu, then at the large group of people behind him, and said, "I'm too hungry to walk, wait, what if I wait for someone from the city to come out to give porridge? Double Ninth Festival."

What are you waiting for?
But today is Double Ninth Festival?Old man Xu was in a trance for a moment.

It has been a full month since they left Dawang Village.

Old man Xu looked up at the city tower, but saw nothing.

Thinking that they have to take a rest left and right, then wait.

Therefore, a group of people also found a place to nest down at the moment.

After waiting, until mid-afternoon, the city gate really opened.

When the city gate was found to be open, the refugees nestled in the front stood up one after another.

Old man Xu and the others were behind, stretching their necks to look at the city gate.

A group of soldiers rushed out first, standing in two rows, holding white spears in their hands, so that the refugees did not dare to approach.

Then, someone from the city gate pushed two cars out slowly.

A large bucket was tied to one car, and a large dustpan was attached to the other car, and the dustpan was filled with white steamed buns.

food!

The refugees opened their eyes and subconsciously surged up.

"Is there really someone who gives porridge?!"

The old man Zhou wanted to jump up with such a loud voice, and the crowd couldn't care less, so they rushed forward too.
