Chapter 14
The sun was shining, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the scorching sun seemed to bake the whole world dry.
Zhang Congyue walked mechanically, even if she didn't have any strength in her body, and her legs were unconscious due to walking for a long time, but she still didn't dare to stop, trying to follow the big army.
If it weren't for the drought, spring ploughing would not have been possible, the seedlings would have died, the crops would have run out of food, and even their wells and rivers would have dried up. Otherwise, they would not have fled to the south.
But when they came to the south, they found that the situation here was not optimistic! Along the way, only the weeds were more than theirs, and even if there was a small stream, it would be swept up by a large group of fleeing people, and in the end they might not be able to take a sip.
Otherwise, when you get to the next city, you might as well sell yourself for some food to eat, and you have to let your family have a full meal. She looked at her father and grandmother, who were too thin to be human, and then at her little brother who fainted from hunger and was lying on the cart, and she no longer had the strength to grieve.
She has only one thought now: she wants to drink water.
She can bear to be hungry, after all, no one in the village is rich, and hunger is a common thing. But not having water to drink is really torturous.
Why did God treat them like this? Why did the imperial court ignore them? They were just croppers who did their duty, but why did they always let them do bad things?
Zhang Congyue was only 10 years old, and he had already experienced this kind of natural disaster several times, but the first few times it was not so serious, and the family members could still survive by tightening their belts.
They walked and walked, and finally when it was just dark, they had already seen the outline of the big city, which was bigger than all they had been before, and before they could be excited that they were saved, they were dumbfounded when they approached—there were at least a thousand people gathered outside the city, and it seemed that they had all fled, all of them were scrawny and shaky.
Zhang Congyue and their large army are all from one village, and when the village chief saw this, he knew that these cities were under martial law and were not allowed to enter, so he sighed and said: "First find a place to settle down, stay away from these people, and then each family will send a few people out to find food and water, and I will ask the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate what the situation is."
He knew that there was little hope of finding something to eat, after all, even if there were, it would have been flooded by this group of people, but he had to try, and he had to give everyone a little hope.
After the village chief asked, it was obviously very different from what he had guessed: the city had long been out of the way, and if he wanted to enter the city, he would have to spend ten copper plates per person, but there was not much surplus food in the city. When they heard this, they gave up, and even if they had so much money to go to the city, what would they live on in the future?
"That's... Hasn't the imperial court yet distributed relief food?"
the village chief was silent.
"So what are we going to do, woooooooooo My son is still so young..."
No one can answer his question, perhaps he himself knows that not all questions have answers.
Zhang Congyue began to help his mother pack her things. Tonight, they have nothing to cover, so they can only stick a few logs on the ground by themselves, and then cover them with rags, and spread a few straw mats on the ground, which is where the family sleeps.
Zhang Congyue saw that everything was cleaned up, and when she thought of today's thoughts, she cut her hair, and said to her mother: "Mother, I want to go out to find my father and help him find food together."
"What are you going to do, it's dark now, what if you get lost?"
Grandma Zhang also disagreed: "Yes, what if you are a little girl, what if you are taken away and sold, don't run around, your father will go to your father later." Seeing
that she couldn't make sense of her family, Zhang Congyue was also a little anxious. She didn't know how to sell herself, but she had to go to the city, so that there could be good customers. But the village chief's uncle said that she would need ten copper plates to enter the city, so how could she get in?
She covered her head and thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't seem to come up with a good solution. When people are hungry, their thinking is indeed half a beat slower, she was depressed for a while, and simply didn't want to think about it, so she just sat on the ground and was stunned.
Zhang Congyi looked at his sister with a confused look in her eyes, and didn't know what she was thinking, so she also sat down and said weakly: "Sister, what's wrong with you?
"I'm fine, are you better?"
"I'm fine, I'm just hungry, sister, I'm really hungry."
Zhang Congyue touched her brother's head and didn't say anything.
After a long time, Zhang Congyue's father has not returned.
Her mother also began to worry about whether something had happened, and just wanted her father-in-law to find someone, but she found that her father-in-law and a group of people helped each other back.
"Boss!" she snorted, and hurriedly went up to support her, "What's wrong with you, aren't you looking for food, how are you hurt like this!"
"Let's go back first, and let the tree rest. When
the family hurriedly helped Zhang Dashu into their own curtain and sat down, they wanted to wipe the wounds on his face and body, but the little water was just enough for the family to drink. Zhang Dashu naturally knew, so he stopped his daughter-in-law, who was still struggling with whether to use water, and said, "Zhenniang, don't be busy, I'm fine."
At this time, Zhang Laohan also came over and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Zhang
Dashu sighed and said: "It's not for some wild vegetables and water, we ran a long way to find it, but a group of people then came over and said that they had already found out, let us get out of here, we naturally refused, and the two sides clashed." But they didn't catch it well, a few of them were seriously injured, we were afraid of making a fuss, so we couldn't come back, but those wild vegetables and water were cheap for them, alas.
Zhang Laohan, they were all silent after hearing this.
"The way of this world... When is it the head!" Zhen Niang covered her face and cried quietly, and Zhang Congyue's two little ones also cried.
They really don't see any hope.
After everyone went to sleep, Zhang Congyue couldn't fall asleep over and over. Not only was she hungry, but she always felt that something was telling her to go out, but she was afraid that the monster was going to catch her for meat, so she never dared to go.
But as time went on, the feeling grew stronger, and she simply got sideways, crawled out secretly, and saw what the hell called her. She also thought about it, even if the monster wanted to eat her, it would be good if she could give her family a piece of her meat to eat.
After walking like this for a while, she was so hungry that she couldn't walk, and just as she tripped over the stone, the whole person fell forward, and her palms and chin suddenly broke. She lay on the ground, and she didn't have the strength to get up, so she had to roll over and lie on her side.
At this moment, she felt a heat in her palm, and her vision suddenly changed. The white light was so dazzling that she couldn't open her eyes, and she subconsciously blocked it with her hand.
"What's wrong, why are you so embarrassed, are you okay?" Lu Hanzhang saw that there was a person suddenly lying on the ground, and subconsciously stepped forward and asked.
When Zhang Congyue got used to the light and slowly opened his eyes, he saw a particularly beautiful fairy, squatting down and looking at her with concern. She suddenly couldn't stop crying, and cried and said, "Sister Fairy, are you here to save Yue'er?"
