After moving out of the residence, he took his whole family to escape the famine

While the two were talking, they had already reached the road in the center of the village.

Su Nanxing walked down the stone stairs and saw Old Man Chen walking out of the village with a cane in one hand and a bamboo basket behind his back.

She took a few steps to catch up, "Old man, where are you going?"

When Old Uncle Chen saw it was her, he showed a kind smile and put all the wrinkles on his face together.

"There is no food in the village, but there are still many people here who want to eat. I am going to the mountains to find some food."

The old man's tone was calm, as if it was a normal thing.

But Su Nanxing saw that his old man was so old that his back was bent, and he still had to go out to the mountains every day to find food.

She took Old Man Chen's arm with one hand and supported him naturally.

"Okay, my family also needs to eat. I will accompany you to the mountains to find food."

Old man Chen was very happy. The smile on his face deepened and the wrinkles became thicker. "Okay! Let's go."

Old man Chen, whose legs and feet were so nimble just now and had a breeze when he ran, could not walk very fast now.

Su Nanxing was not in a hurry, she just wanted to accompany the old man and ask questions by the way.

"Old man, why do I see that the village is full of girls?"

Hearing her mention this matter, the old man sighed deeply.

"It's a long story. The girl came from somewhere else. I don't know what happened. Some time ago, on the emperor's birthday, all the people who had the plague in the capital were driven out. A large number of patients left the city and had nowhere to go.

The first ones to come were naturally the small villages near us. Now all the people in the villages who could escape have run away. Those girls were abandoned by their families. "

Su Nanxing was stunned, thinking that she wanted to open a medicine hall in the capital to do business, but some time ago, the emperor kicked all her customers out of the capital! ?

It seemed like her plans would just have to change a little.

Hearing what the old man said again, she suddenly felt that old man Chen and those girls were quite pitiful.

One is an old man who is over fifty but has to go up the mountains to find food, and the other is a child abandoned by his parents.

"Old man, where have all these people gone?"

"Those who can enter the city enter the city, and those who cannot enter the city have all left this place."

"Why can't I see any of the plague patients?"

"You must have seen the locked houses in the village. There is almost no cure for them. They can only wait to die slowly. I will bury them all..."

After Mr. Chen said this, he didn't know what he was thinking and didn't speak again.

Su Nanxing couldn't see Old Man Chen's emotions.

There was a calm look in his cloudy eyes.

The wrinkled face also completely concealed the old man's emotions.

Su Nanxing felt that they were very pitiful and wanted to help, but was unable to do so.

She asked: "What is your wish, old man?"

Old Uncle Chen stopped, sighed deeply, and fixed his eyes on Su Nanxing, "I just hope the world can be peaceful and the children can suffer less."

Su Nanxing didn't expect Old Man Chen to say such a thing, but considering what the other party had done, it didn't seem strange to say such a thing.

However, Su Nanxing doesn't have that much energy, and with so many children, the only thing she can do now is to help Old Man Chen solve the food problem without having to go to the mountain every day.

After re-entering the forest, Mr. Chen only cut some grass and put it into the bamboo basket.

Su Nanxing frowned, these things cannot be eaten at all.

So she asked Gu Huaishu to keep an eye on Old Man Chen, while she made excuses to go somewhere to find food.

How could she have the chance to take out food from the space without leaving Old Man Chen's sight?

When choosing supplies, she had a slight difficulty, not knowing what to get.

Finally, Sunan Xing's spiritual consciousness sneaked into the space, rummaged through the vegetable field, and dug out a few sweet potatoes with roots and soil.

This thing can be eaten and grown. It can also prevent satiety, which can definitely solve Old Man Chen's urgent need.

She held a few big sweet potatoes in her arms and didn't care if she was covered in mud.

"Old man! Huai Shu, look what I found!"

Gu Huaishu's eyes were shining brightly as he looked at the excited Su Nanxing and shouted, "Madam! The dirt road in the mountains is slippery, so walk slower."

"Eh!"

Su Nanxing responded to him and slowed down his pace.

Old man Chen on the side was stunned, this, this, this...?

It turns out that they are a couple, and the relationship between Xu Linqing and the child is unrequited love?

Old man Chen originally wanted to say a few nice words in front of Su Nanxing on behalf of Xu Linqing, but he didn't have the hobby of trying to dismantle mandarin ducks.

He looked at the plump sweet potato in Su Nanxing's hand and was very surprised.

"Girl, where did you find the sweet potato? It's too big, old man. I've been walking in the mountains for several months and I haven't found anything edible."

"I just walked casually in the mountains and went wherever I saw dense vegetation. I didn't expect that I would actually find it!"

Su Nanxing smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, as beautiful as the crescent moon.

She held sweet potatoes, roots and vines in her arms.

Gu Huaishu had already carried the bamboo basket on his body, so Su Nanxing walked over and put all these things into the bamboo basket.

Gu Huaishu saw her approaching and waited for her to put away the sweet potatoes. He took out a brown handkerchief from his arms and wiped away all the mud marks in front of her.

Old man Chen didn't think that those things were given to him by Su Nanxing.

The whole family came all the way from other places, and there must not be much left to eat.

But I heard Su Nanxing say in the next second: "Old man, these sweet potato roots and vines are for you. I have some millet left in the team. Let's cook sweet potato porridge for the children to eat together."

Old man Chen's face first showed a look of joy, and then a hint of fear, "The girl found this, how can I accept it easily?"

Su Nanxing chuckled, "I lent my house to my family, just think of it as accommodation fee."

"Too expensive, girl."

Old man Chen shook his head and waved his hands, holding a cane in his other hand and walking slowly down the mountain with his back bent.

-

After Su Nanxing returned to the village, he saw several little girls playing.

Old man Chen returned to his home and planned to make some grass soup.

She followed the other party and saw Old Man Chen's simple house.

The wall is just a few boards nailed together.

There is a pit in the house and two short wooden benches.

There was a thin piece of cloth spread on it, and the quilt was thicker at least, but there were several patches of different colors on it.

Gu Huaishu placed the bamboo basket on the stove outside the house before walking into the house. The wooden door was very low.

Old man Chen walked over just in time, but he had to bend down.

He was tall and walked into the house.

The space in the house seemed very small, and my head almost touched the thatched roof.

Old man Chen looked at the layout of his home and felt a little embarrassed. He said, "Let's sit outside the house."

Then he picked up two wooden benches in the room.

Su Nanxing took away the two wooden stools from Old Man Chen's hand. "Old man, I'll get them. You can go and have a rest. When my family finishes cooking, I'll ask them to bring them to you directly."

"It's really not necessary, girl. I know your good intentions, but now everyone's life is tight, how can I get it from you."

Su Nanxing had already made a move to walk back, but Old Man Chen caught up with him again.
