Chapter 36 On the road to escape

Some people were worried and wanted to go back to Dakang Village and Xiaokang Village to have a look, but they came back halfway.

The rocks collapsed and all the way back was blocked.

In this kind of weather, you are cold and hungry. Even if the court comes, it will be difficult to organize a large-scale rescue.

The only way now is for the survivors to get to the county seat quickly and ask the court to give them a way to survive.

It is different from the concept of modern society that supports one side in times of difficulty and never gives up any life.

In this era, rescue depends more on oneself.

So, everyone rushed to the county seat in a hurry. They were all residents, and the court's ability was limited. The sooner they arrived, the better.

Li Wei and Lin Dahong took turns hugging Erya, but after a while they lost the strength of their legs to keep up.

Boss Gu simply put the quilt in the basket, and put Daya, Erya and Tiedan in the basket and carried them away.

This Tiedan is the smallest but the fattest, so it is just right for one person on one side and the big one and two on the other.

Everyone was a little tempted when they heard it. Even if it is a mountain road, thirty miles is closer than the one hundred and eighty kilometers to Tongchuan.

But not long after walking, it started to get dark again, and it was only noon now.

ah.

There was a scream from ahead, and someone fell in the middle of the snow.

"Instead of being so worried, it is better to go directly to Tongchuan. When you get to Tongchuan, you can also go to Ji'an."

After resting for about a quarter of an hour, we were about to set off. Suddenly, a group of people came back from the front. The person walking at the front was Gu Dashuan.

There is only one road open to get to Ji'an County, but this road first goes to Tongchuan County, and then from Tongchuan to Ji'an, with a total distance of 300 kilometers.

"Brother and sister, do you know how to take this road?"

Li Wei still trusts the system. If the system does not point out this path, it means that this path should not work.

"Who dares to hit me?"

When I walked in, I found that there were refugees everywhere, all huddled together in the cold.

But the more you fear something, the more it will come to you.

Fortunately, Lin Dahong boiled a lot of water in the morning, and everyone's sheepskin bags were filled.

"Well, I heard something in town that if there is a landslide, Ji'an County will be the hardest hit area and Tongchuan will be safer."

With yesterday's experience and speed, everyone in the Gu family hid in the shed under the envious eyes of others.

Qing Haiyan looked like a villain who had succeeded, as if it was a great favor for Li Wei to follow him.

Li Wei and others were preparing to follow Gu Dashuan on a shortcut when a young man ran back, having just gone to explore the road.

Li Wei saw that Zhou Chunxiu's expression was really not good, so he asked everyone to stop and rest for a while.

It is 180 kilometers from Shima Town to Tongchuan. But no matter how far it is, Li Wei knows that this is the only way at the moment.

"It's also blocked, which is bad. There are only two roads to Ji'an County."

What Gu Dashuan means is that there are other ways. Even if there is one, no one knows about it, which means there is no way.

There was a shortcut from Shima Town to Ji'an County that he had taken before, but it was a mountain road that was not easy to walk.

Each person drank a few sips of hot water, and as usual, Li Wei gave each person a piece of chocolate to replenish some energy.

Because there were haystacks, someone cut down bamboo, and quickly built a large hayloft, which could accommodate dozens of people. Then a fire was lit in the middle to temporarily avoid the wind and snow.

This was the first person to die on the way to escape, and everyone's emotions became even more depressed.

Everyone was in a low mood and hoped that nothing bad would happen again.

It wasn't that Li Wei didn't want to walk fast, but that as a pregnant woman, a sick person, with three children, and walking in ice and snow, she really couldn't keep up with the speed.

When I inquired about it, I found out that they were from Lijiagou, not far from Shima Town. There were only over 100 people in the village of 600 who escaped, and the losses were even greater than those in Dahe Village.

People around him reflexively jumped a few meters away.

It was an old widower from a well-off village who fainted. The mayor of the well-off village asked someone to help him aside.

"Brother Da Shuan, the road ahead is also blocked."

Zhou Chunxiu pouted, this old woman was deliberately going against him.

Zhou Chunxiu also had a hard time that she couldn't tell. She originally followed her brother and sister-in-law in a bullock cart, but now her brother and sister-in-law didn't care about her, so she could only follow the Gu family. She was really tired after walking in the snow for so long.

This scene reminded Li Wei of the classic TV series Journey to the West, where you carry the burden and I ride the horse, but they don't have horses.

Through these two things, Gu Fugui felt that Li Wei was quite reliable.

"Have you ever seen other people's eyes? They are always envious of us."

The remaining people followed Li Wei and the others towards Tongchuan.

"Now everyone is short of food and clothing. You are the only one who has it. If you have it, why don't you keep a low profile? If I don't beat you, who will I beat?"

Li Wei took out the oilcloth and built a shed in the corner of the inn, leaning against the courtyard wall.

"Mom, how about we take a break?"

"Mom, how about we follow them?"

Gu Laoer said proudly.

Immediately, the village chief of Xiaokang Village asked someone to dig a hole casually on the roadside, bury it, and then continued to move forward.

Gu Laoer was unconvinced upon hearing this.

Helpless, Li Wei simply asked the system, and the system immediately drew a real-time map.

Gu Fugui himself followed Li Wei. After all, it was Li Wei's reminder that everyone escaped from the avalanche. It was also Li Wei's suggestion to rest at the Chenghuang Temple.

"Tongchuan is not far away, almost two hundred kilometers away."

"Da Shuan, why are you back?"

The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Looking at the weather, Li Wei had a bad premonition and immediately asked the system. Sure enough, there was a snowstorm within half an hour.

Gu Lao Er also looked distressed when he looked at his pregnant wife.

"There was a landslide last night. No one knows if there will be a second landslide."

With Gu Fugui's encouragement, everyone's spirits improved and their pace became faster and faster.

A group of people were walking in the snow. Yesterday they were looking forward to going to the county seat for a hot bowl of Yangchun noodles at noon, but now they don't know when they will be able to have a safe place to rest.

In the end, about half of the people followed Qinghaiyan and others on the shortcut.

The inn is smaller than the Chenghuang Temple, and unlike last night, some families could live in a wing, but now they are all crowded together and cannot fit in.

"Anbang, the road ahead is blocked by landslides and we can't walk through it."

After a while, news came that the old widower had run out of breath and had died of cold.

Fortunately, there are several nests of haystacks next to the inn. Some of them brought bamboo mats, so they surrounded them with bamboo mats. Then they took some grass from the haystacks to form a roof, which could temporarily prevent the cold.

Li Wei didn't believe there was no other way. As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome.

"Boy, I can't walk anymore."

Gu Fugui was also in a dilemma. In the end, he let everyone make their own decisions and follow whoever they wanted to go with.

Gu Fugui is considering Li Wei's suggestion.

"Village chief, I know there is a shortcut. My eldest brother passed by it before."

Just arrive in Tongchuan safely.

Only a fool would take the long road if there is a shortcut.

Qinghaiyan remembered that her eldest brother was a salesman and traveled from house to house. Sometimes he would find shortcuts in order to rush for time.

"Is there no other way?"

"Village chief, we have decided to go to Tongchuan."

Li Wei shook her head, ignored it and continued walking. Who likes to take shortcuts, just go!

Not only that, even the landslide disaster area is clearly known.

"If you want to go with them, go with them."

The Gu family's main house walked slower and slower, and the tails of the people in front could no longer be seen.

"Everyone, cheer up. It will be great when we arrive in Tongchuan County. Then we will have hot water to drink and a warm house to live in."

"Sister-in-law, even though you're not a very good person, I won't say anything if you want to come with us. I'm not as petty as some people."

"Second brother, you are so young, be careful of getting beaten."

There happened to be an inn on the roadside that seemed to be abandoned, so Gu Fugui suggested taking shelter here.

After hearing this, Li Wei felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She was afraid that there would be more and more such situations in the future when she fled in such a climate.

"On weekdays, these are the two roads that most villagers take."

Gu Fugui was worried about what to do, but unexpectedly Li Wei suddenly said that he was going to Tongchuan.

Here, human life is worthless.

Zhou Chunxiu suggested that she didn't want to walk more than 100 kilometers.

"I don't know the specific road, but I know the direction. My elder brother said, just walk along the Changjin River. It's only less than thirty miles."

"Everyone is the same. It's okay to not help others when you see them suffering, but you can never feel great about yourself."

Li Wei said very seriously.

In fact, suffering and crisis test human nature too much, and this natural disaster is terrible enough.

But what's more terrifying than natural disasters is human nature, and she doesn't want to challenge it at all.
