Chapter 42 Going to the Town

After eating the grass roots, Li Xinghua asked Jiang Quhan if he wanted to continue digging the grass roots in the afternoon, but Jiang Quhan hesitated.

Although this food is a bit sweet, it doesn't fill my stomach at all. After chewing for a long time, a little juice comes out, and my cheeks are sour after eating too much.

Apart from Daqingshan Mountain, it might be difficult to find better food in other places. Daqingshan Jiang Quhan doesn’t really want to go there. There should not be many wild vegetables now, unless you go to the mountain to hunt prey.

Grandma Li would definitely not agree. Jiang Quhan thought about it, shook his head and rejected Li Xinghua, and said, "Let's save some effort at home."

Li Xinghua didn't really want to go either, she saw that Jiang Quhan seemed very interested in hair grass roots, so she dug with her.Jiang Quhan couldn't say no more, she breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Yeah, we went for a run in the morning and drank a bamboo tube of water."

Jiang Quhan was about to go back to the room and lie down, but Li Cunbao pulled Jiang Quhan aside and asked, "Sister, do you want to go to town?"

When Jiang Quhan heard that she was going to the town, she became more energetic. She wanted to go to the town a long time ago. When Li Mancang and Li Mandun ran to the town every day, she wanted to go, but they didn't agree. Reluctantly gave up.

But she still wanted to go to the town once, mainly because she hadn't spent the 3200 copper coins she had exchanged in the game mall before, so she replied, "Okay, but can Dad agree with us to go?"

Li Cunbao said: "I'll call Dad along, it's definitely possible, we'll go tomorrow."

Jiang Quhan nodded happily.

Grandma Li knew that they were going to the town, so she called Li Mandun to her, and said to him: "When your elder sister came back, I was worried about your sister Qiu, you go to town this time, you go to her house to see Condition."

Li Mantun nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, the three of them set off for the town, leaving the entrance of Xiaotao Village, and on the official road to the town, there were more people, most of them were victims of the famine with their burdens on their backs and pushing carts .

Their eyes were numb, and they were all in a state of embarrassment. They all hurried along the road silently, and there were beggars along the way, holding a broken bowl with trembling hands, begging for food or water.

On the road, there is no flood of human sympathy to give alms. If there are strong laborers or people with good physical strength, they will move forward quickly.

Jiang Quhan's mood is a bit complicated. She has never been out of Xiaotao Village. She thought it was very difficult for her family now, but she didn't expect the situation outside to be so serious.

Now she has realized that natural disasters are ruthless, and people are like ants.

In fact, Jiang Quhan didn't see anything worse. The victims on this section of the road were usually just two days old, and they still had some food and water stored.Everyone was still sallow, emaciated, and weak from hunger, but they were still able to continue on their way and suffer.

The sad thing is that after walking for ten days and a half months, they could not find any food or water. It was true that corpses could be seen at any time on the roadside. Many people fell down as they walked, and then I can't get up either.

In addition to these victims who were on their way, there were also villagers heading to the town, carrying bamboo betels on their backs, and walking quickly avoiding people.Jiang Quhan and the others also walked very fast, and they didn't dare to stop when their legs were sore.

When approaching the town, Li Cunbao suggested: "Father, you go to my sister-in-law's house. My sister and I will go to the town first, and we will meet at the entrance of the town."

Grandma Li's youngest daughter, Li Qiuya, married in Shili Village, which is very close to the town, and her in-law's family conditions are also good.

Li Mantun was a little hesitant, he was not very relieved to leave the two siblings behind, it was a mess now.

Li Cunbao saw Li Mantun's worry, and said, "Father, I am strong, and most people can't beat me. I can protect my sister and me. Let's get back together quickly."

Li Mantun finally agreed. He agreed to go to the town this time because he ran out of salt at home. The price of salt had risen sharply before, but he bought some every time he went back. Run out.

There is no salt in the house for several days, and I just eat some salted fish.
