Chapter 94 Selling Oneself

At dawn, we continued our journey after breakfast.

Before setting off, Uncle Ma called everyone together and said with a serious expression: "Everyone is aware of the situation now. It will only become more difficult as the days go by."

"Our convoy can't leave like this. Two mule carts are in a row. The team is shortened to ensure balance. In places where there are many people, men from each family get off the car and lead the mules. They also carry kitchen knives and machetes for protection. Cars and women.”

"Also, let me remind everyone one thing. No matter how pitiful you meet on this road, you are not allowed to give out a grain of food. This is not because you are reluctant to give up a little food, but for the sake of everyone's safety. Do you understand?"

 Everyone responded in a mixed manner, "Understood."

"Okay, let's set off. We will probably have to rest in the wild tonight. Everyone should have brought enough water. We can arrive at Tongcheng in Xishan County tomorrow. If we don't have enough food or are short of something, we can go to Tongcheng again. Go buy it.”

Everyone cheered up and drove the mule cart on the road.

 There were more and more victims on the road, and this team of mule carts was particularly eye-catching. From time to time, people stopped the convoy to ask for food, and the car couldn't move fast at all.

Gu Fei blocked Lanzhi inside and walked outside.

  No matter who tried to stop her, she would glare at them fiercely. She also knew that at this point, it was really impossible to be kind.

When it was time to take a break at noon, Uncle Ma shouted, "Everyone is eating solid food next to the car. Don't put down what you have in your hands. Be careful. Eat quickly. Eat quickly and leave quickly. Don't waste too much time."

As time went by, the victims in this area knew that they had food, and they were afraid that they would all come over.

 That’s hard to say.

 Uncle Ma climbed on the roof of a car and looked around.

 On the official road, on both sides of the official road, there were scattered disaster victims everywhere.

Uncle Ma thought for a moment and jumped out of the car, "Don't rest, keep walking and eat while walking! You can't stop now!"

 Everyone was stuffing dry food into their mouths desperately. Huzi was walking in front of Gu Fei. Suddenly a man ran over, snatched half of the nest from Huzi's hand and ran away.

Huzi looked at his empty hands and was about to cry when Gu Fei pulled him inside and stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth, "Come inside and eat with your mouth closed."

Huzi tasted the taste in his mouth and looked up at Gu Fei with bright eyes.

Gu Fei held a dagger in one hand and gnawed on a steamed bun in the other, looking around with vigilant eyes.

 The convoy moved forward with difficulty.

  Some time ago, I walked seventy or eighty miles a day, and this whole day I walked more than forty miles.

It was getting dark, and no one thought about finding an inn. They just set up a stove to cook in the wild.

Ms. Chen made a pot of millet porridge, and Li Chunhua took out a bowl of pickles and put it in it.

 Bao'er ran over and took a look. When he saw that there was no oil or water, he curled his lips and ran away.

 When Bao'er ran away, Mrs. Chen shared another pancake.

While eating, a girl in tattered clothes came over and suddenly knelt down in front of everyone, "Master and aunt, please buy me. I don't need any money. I just need to give it to those who stutter. I can help with the work."

Qian heard a scream next to him, "What do you mean, you don't want money? You don't want food either?"

The girl quickly turned around and kowtowed to Mrs. Qian, "No money, no food, nothing. As long as the stuttering people can survive, I can work. I can chop firewood, go to the ground, cook, and so on." I’m capable, ma’am, please buy me.”
