Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 3389 Extraordinary Zhou Silver 5

  The atmosphere at home is very bad, Zhou Yin began to run to the county town constantly, wanting to find some work to make money, and buy food from the grain shop.

  But the year is not good. Since last year, there have been refugees in the county seat, all rushing to work on the street. Even if he is well-connected in the county seat, he is familiar with him, and he doesn’t find much work.

  Furthermore, the price of food changes three times a day, one price in the morning, and another price in the evening. The little bit of hard money he earned can not buy much food at all.

When there was only one bowl of food left at home, Zhou Jin finally had to take out the money for Zhou Yin to marry his wife and go to the grain shop to buy food with Zhou Yin.

  The money used to buy a cart of grain in the past, at the moment, you can only buy a small bag.

  On the way back, Zhou Jin and Zhou Yin said, "At this moment, you really have to talk a few years later."

   Zhou Yin looked at the stars in the sky and said, “Let’s live alive first. Seeing so many stars, tomorrow will be another sunny day.”

  Zhou Jin dropped his shoulders. He hates sunny days the most. . .

  When the two brothers entered the village, they were very cautious, because they were afraid of being known that their family bought food.

  The harvest last year was not good, and many people had a bad year. They all look forward to this year’s harvest. Who knows that this year’s harvest is worse than last year.

  Many people stopped cooking in March, and then began to borrow.

  Lao Zhou's family also borrowed some at the beginning, but fortunately, Qian’s tight control, whether it was relatives or friends who came back, told her to send her away.

  Otherwise they would have starved to death.

  Zhou Jin took the small bag of rice home and opened it to Qian.

  Qian Shi put it away, "I will decide how much I eat at home in the future."

  Zhou Jin and Zhou Yin responded, but they had no objection.

  From that day on, Zhou’s family began to close the door tightly, so that they could not go out without going out, so as to reduce activities as much as possible to avoid consumption.

   So Zhou Yin brought Zhou Dalang and Tue Lang occasionally to the mountain to dig some edible grass roots and pick some wild vegetables.

  But because of the drought, many edible plants on the mountain have dried up, and the ones that haven’t dried up, and the animals in the mountains, they will **** things from people.

  Some people began to starve to death in the village. Some people began to drag their families away, and they would die if they stayed.

  The village chief also found Lao Zhou’s house, and said to Zhou Jinzhou, “Our family also wants to take a walk outside.”

Zhou Jin squatted on the ground and glum, "You can live if you go out? Didn't the fifth uncle who went out the previous two days come back? He took out seven people, but only two came back. I heard that they didn’t even drink water and died outside. It’s better to die in the village."

  The head of the village was weak and hungry. He said, "Go a little further and get out of the dry place."

   "How far do you have to go?"

   "I don't know," the village chief said sullenly, "But God can't really not give a way to survive, find a direction, and you can always go out."

He looked at Zhou Jin and Zhou Yin, and then at Zhou Dalang. He sighed: "If the yamen don’t put food, staying in the village is one death. If you go out, how many will survive? One can survive. It’s better than dying in the village."

   Zhou Yindao, who has been silent, said: "The grain given by the court is already on the way. I heard that the grain will arrive in the middle of next month at the latest."

The village chief didn’t ask who he heard. He was not accurate. He said directly: “If you don’t eat, you will have to die in five days. What's more, we are already starving like this. It doesn’t take five days to die in three days. ."

   “There are twenty-three days until the middle of next month. After twenty-three days, we are all dead, and it’s useless to put more food.”

  Zhou Yin murmured: "It's the latest..."

  "Can you be the earliest for yamen to do errands?" The village chief said weakly: "And where can I get there early?"

  Zhou Jin looked at his sons, then turned his head and glanced at his hungry wife who was almost speechless. He couldn't help holding his head, his red eyes did not speak.

  Leaving Qili Village means that they have to make choices. They have many families and most of them are children.

  It’s not easy to walk on the road, I must give up a few children, even...

  He red eyes and said: "I heard that people are beginning to eat people outside. If, what if..."

   "So we have to go together," the village chief said: "People in the village are together. When people die, we find a place to bury them. We can't let people eat them."

  Zhou Jin lowered his head and said nothing, the balance in his heart was constantly swaying, and he couldn't decide whether to go or not.

Zhou Yin looked at his elder brother and his pale sister-in-law who was leaning on the chair. He lowered his eyes and said, "This time the disaster is the entire Jiannan Road. I heard that even Longyou Road was also affected in many places, and the capital was also dry. , So the grain can only be adjusted from Hedong Road and further away, and the speed is very slow."

  The head of the village only knows about Jiannan Road, and he also knows that Longyou Road is north of Jiannan Road, but he doesn’t know about other places, so he finally couldn’t help asking, "How did you know?"

  "My friend said," Zhou Yindao: "So there are so many places affected by the disaster. To get out of the disaster area, twenty days is not enough, otherwise the two uncles will not come back halfway."

   There were seven people when they went out, only two were left when they came back, and the remaining five were all folded on the road.

   "Everyone is so hungry, can you really walk on the road for 20 days?" Zhou Yin asked, "And there are so many refugees out there. What if you run into a vicious mind and want to eat us?"

   "In the village, there is still water to drink at any rate, digging up the mountain, eating bark and leaves can last a while, just wait until the yamen releases the grain."

  The village chief stood up on his knees, arched his waist and walked out, “I’ll talk to another family.”

  He still wants to go out, his family has no food, really can't live anymore.

  The village chief went back, and his grandson Dazhu knocked on the door early the next morning, and said to them with a pale face: "My grandfather went last night, and now my father is the village head."

   Zhou Yin couldn't even rise in sadness, leaning on the door and asked, "Is your house still leaving?"

   Dazhu shook his head, "My father said he can't leave. In a while, our family will go up the mountain to dig the bark. It should be able to survive for a few days after chopped up. Would you like to join me?"

   Zhou Yin responded and asked, "Your grandfather buried it?"

   "No, I just came to ask my uncle for help. Just dig a shallow hole."

   Zhou Yin went back to the house to get the hoe. Zhou Jin silently followed. Zhou Yin stopped him and said, "I'll go. Brother, you haven't eaten anything in the morning, so don't move."

  Zhou Jin stopped, and whispered to him, "You also save some energy, don't fold yourself in."

   Zhou Yin responded and took the **** to the village chief’s house.

  Zhou Yin has a high seniority, but at a young age, the village chief’s son Dahua is about the same age as Zhou Jin. At this time, he was squatting in the yard with a beard. The village chief changed into a new suit and placed it in the coffin.

  Many young people have been squatting in the yard. They are all of the same ethnic group and have a good relationship with the village chief’s family.
