At this time, Fang Yu and others, who had been away from Fangjia Village for dozens of miles, naturally did not know what was going on in Fangjia Village.

Fang Sanduo's decisiveness allowed them to escape.

At this time, they were still on their way against the scorching sun.

In a blink of an eye, they had been fleeing famine for more than half a month.

Compared with the beginning, these people who were clean were covered with plaster.

They also wore leaf hats woven from leaves on their heads, and their bodies were covered with dried and cracked mud.

This is for sun protection.

This method is what old man Cao said.

This old man Cao is the old man who once experienced a famine.

Coincidentally, the famine that this old man encountered decades ago was also a drought. These are some survival skills that he remembers deeply. He didn't expect that he could use it for the second time in his life!

It's just that this time he didn't have the body he had when he was young, and even he himself didn't have the confidence to survive this time.

However, he felt that he had lived enough. Being a loner, he had already realized that he could live a few more days, but his mentality was the most relaxed in the team except for Fang Yu.

No, it should be easier than Fang Yu.

Because Fang Yu still has to worry about his uncle and aunt.

Wearing a leaf hat can effectively cool down the brain and avoid heatstroke when the sun is cut off.

The plaster on his body is some clean river mud scavenged from the river.

According to old man Cao's command, what they dug were all the delicate and sticky ones.

This kind of river mud feels a bit icy and cool when applied to the skin, but when it is applied to the face, Fang Yu even feels like she is making a mask.

After smearing the river mud all over his body, the sunlight under the scorching sun was blocked by this layer of mud, successfully protecting his body temperature and moisture.

Although after the river mud dries, it will still be a little hot in the sun, but with this layer of mud armor at least the skin will not be damaged by direct radiation, and it can also effectively reduce the heat, so that you will not suffer from sunstroke.

This is how an old family is like a treasure.

Old man Cao's valuable experience allowed Fang Yu and the others to successfully rely on this method to leave Jiaoling County completely and enter Chenyang area.

Later, they encountered disaster victims who had fled from other areas in this land boundary.

Compared to Fang Yu, they just started fleeing famine. Because they are located in the disaster center, they fled famine much earlier than Fang Yu and others. When they arrived at this time, they were all skinny and black as coke.

Their bodies were also covered with mud, obviously this trick is not unique to old man Cao.

But this is also normal. There will always be someone passing down this survival method of fleeing from famine. When fleeing from famine, everyone basically leads to the same goal by different routes. It is normal to meet and support each other on the way.

Just like now, although everyone didn't know each other, after encountering a team that was obviously fleeing famine, everyone gathered together silently.

Looking at these people who were also fleeing famine, Fang Yu was extremely shocked.

From what they knew, they had been fleeing famine for more than two months.

When the scale was the largest, there were thousands of people fleeing famine together!

What is the concept of thousands of people fleeing famine?

That is really not a single grass grows along the way!

The areas they passed through were all drought-stricken areas, so when Fang Yu's small river still had half of its surface left, the river bed on their side was already almost exposed.

In the river channel, those fish and shrimps that have no time to escape the tributaries and enter the main channel are lingering in the shallow water.

Drought is a natural disaster. Under natural disasters, it is not only humans who need refuge. Animals and plants in the forest will also migrate due to lack of food. Fish and shrimp in the river will choose to go upstream and enter the main river to survive due to the depletion of water.

Those words in the modern world clamoring about the ancient drought, why not hunt and fish if there is nothing to eat, are just like "why not eat minced meat" has the same meaning.

Animals are often more sensitive to natural disasters than humans.

When a drought is approaching, some animals sense the change in the weather and often migrate very early.

Therefore, when the drought comes, after observing the mountains and forests in many drought-stricken areas, you will find that many wild animals in the past have lost their footprints.

It makes sense.

Drought causes plants to shrivel and die, herbivores will migrate without food, and carnivores will follow without meat.

Because the fish and shrimp in the river are in the water, their perception of temperature is not as strong as that on the shore. They often only choose to move when the river dries up.

But those who successfully escaped were basically big fish and small, flexible fish. The number of small fish, shrimps and unlucky big fish that could be left behind was limited.

And these fish and shrimp can only support the protection of these victims for no more than three days.

It's not that there are fewer fish and shrimp, but that these fish and shrimp often die faster than humans.

When the river water dries up to a certain extent, the oxygen supply in the water is insufficient, and the water temperature is too high, these fish and shrimp will die in large numbers.

The death of fish and shrimp is not only the lack of food, but also the pollution of water sources. In this way, it is even worse for the victims fleeing famine.

Once they encounter water sources polluted by fish and shrimp, they have to trek along the river for an unknown number of miles to find some water sources that have not dried up and are not polluted.

And those fleeing famine who have not been able to find a water source fell down early.

The funny thing is that in famines caused by droughts or floods, more people die because of water than food.

Don't think that floods mean plenty of water.

On the contrary, floods pollute water sources even more!

After every flood, the water sources involved are more or less polluted, and those victims who drink sewage without knowing it, mostly die of diseases caused by the ingestion of sewage.

But at that time, the popularization of health knowledge was not in place, and there were very few doctors who knew about it. Even if they knew it, they couldn't popularize it all. Clear but full of bacteria in the sewage, and then recruited one after another, completely unstoppable.

Therefore, those who traveled from Yongtai, Changyuan, and Liutong to Chenyang experienced countless hells in just two or three months.

Their numbers tend to go up and down.

Gather up to thousands of people at a time, and then walk a certain distance together, some will fall down, and another group will continue to die after walking a certain distance.

After reducing by more than half, there will be other large-scale disaster victims converging and converging again.

In this way, the hundreds of people who arrived in Chenyang basically joined in the latter part of the journey. The victims of the disaster who joined in the previous period have all been buried under the dust during this journey. No one knows, and no one knows. Worship, become a lonely ghost, wandering the world.

Although the information brought by the influx of these people made Fang Yu and those who started fleeing famine feel panic and despair, but they still brought some good news.

From the information they brought, Fang Yu formed a complete escape route in his mind.

Chenyang is also affected by the drought, and this place has been in drought for almost a month, and the situation is similar to that of Jiaoling County.

Next, they will continue to pass through Chen Yang, enter Xichuan, circle around the edge of Xichuan, and enter Dongyi County all the way.

This Dongyi County is their ultimate goal.

It is already considered the southern region. It is said that the drought has affected Xichuan at most. After passing Xichuan, it is equivalent to successfully escaping from the drought.

And these three areas.

Chen Yang is just an ordinary Linnan area, and there is nothing special about it, but someone heard that a man named Bishop Ling set up a relief area in this area to distribute food to the famine.

The people who gathered with them held on to this belief until Chen Yang.

Although this information has no evidence, they can only firmly believe it.

Xichuan is one of the most special areas in Chu State.

On the map of Dachu, Xichuan just bordered the Xiliang Plain. After Fang Yu and the others entered Xichuan, if they did not make a detour but chose to go straight, passing through Xichuan would lead directly to Xiliang and to the Xiliang Plain.

Through the Xiliang Plain, one can come to the territory of the Dawan clan.

Lord Chang's Prince Chang Mansion was built on the boundary of Xichuan, guarding Xiliang.

Dongyi County is a grain-producing area in the south. It has always been famous for its wind and rain, and its four seasons are like spring. It is an ideal hometown in the hearts of the victims.

As long as you arrive in Dongyi County, you will be able to successfully pass the customs and survive this time.

And this process, at least, will take close to three months.

three months!

Fang Yu couldn't believe how many of them would still be alive.

Not to mention anything else, even for himself, these three months are a test.

Because of food, he couldn't get enough energy supplements, which made him unable to exercise his body.

Along the way, the most energy they gained came from the fish that was eaten more than ten days ago.

Although the fish in those rivers only provided them with food for less than three days.

In the future, there are basically only some puddles left in the river and some fish and shrimps that were exposed to the sun on the riverbed and died in the sun after the water evaporated.

These fish and shrimps are not only inedible, but also make the river bed stink to the sky. Every time they go down the river bed to dig mud, the smell makes people retch.

Because there was no fish and shrimp, they could only eat the rice grains they had kept before.

Because of the scarcity of water sources, even if they are extremely hungry, sometimes they can only wait until they find water before cooking.

But humans' thirst for water comes faster than hunger.

Obviously to avoid famine, but they were looking for water along the way.

Fortunately, along the river, the wider the river is, the more water sources can be found. They persisted all the way, and no one was left behind.

It was only after meeting the famine escapees that they met that they realized how lucky they were to find the water source smoothly all the way.

Fortunately, after entering the Chenyang area, the originally dry river began to have many puddles or streams.

Judging by the trend of getting closer and closer to the Chu River, at least there should be no problem with the water source for the time being, and maybe even some fish can be eaten in it.

However, at this time, the channels near the Chu River are basically wide and deep.

It is estimated that after officially entering Chen Yang's main area, once the water flow resumes, the depth and width, if they rely on their current physical strength and condition to fish, it will be more like feeding fish.

Therefore, Fang Yu is not optimistic about whether he can get food in the river in the future.

However, they said before that there are people in Chenyang District who are helping the victims. This is good news. Whether it is true or not, maintaining this hope is at least a way to quench their thirst and allow people to persist for a while.

bishop?

This is the second time Fang Yu has heard about this church from the population.

The first time was what old man Cao said, corresponding to the group of Taoist priests who passed by them before.

The second time I learned from these victims.

If this spiritual bishop really has something to do and is still helping the victims, then this spiritual bishop is still a good sect.

Although the name is a bit secondary, but Fang Yu thinks that this is ancient times after all, and it doesn't seem to be a problem to name him a spirit master.

Isn't there a Catholicism in the original world?

There is nothing wrong with a spiritual bishop here, right?

reasonable.

Seeing the sunken eyes of her aunt and uncle, showing the contours of their eye sockets, Fang Yu also secretly felt anxious.

Along the way, Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei did not think that Fang Yu imagined that when encountering danger, they would choose to give up on themselves or take other actions.

On the way, because of these hardships, Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei took extra care of him.

Remember those two chickens you carried earlier?

On the fifth day of fleeing famine, the two chickens died under Fang Sanduo's knife.

The reason.

they eat too much

It was originally intended to be used as a food reserve, but who knew that in the past five days, almost three taels of rice had been fed, but the two chickens were still ill, looking half dead.

Three or two meters!

This was their ration for the previous two days.

Now that there is a shortage of food, if they continue to feed them, they will probably survive, but Fang Yu and the others will die.

So, in the end, Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei made a joint decision to take the two chickens to a place where no one was around during a lunch break, and killed them directly.

After returning, Fang Yu could still smell the blood from his mouth.

He killed the chicken and drank its blood.

Under such circumstances, it was obviously impossible for him to waste the precious energy of chicken blood.

When he left, he carried a basket with two chickens and an earthen pot in it.

When I came back, there was one less chicken in the basket and one more can of chicken soup.

The three of them secretly covered the eyeliner of others, and ate all the chicken soup.

Boiled chicken in white water, although the taste is very light, but for the three of them, it is really no less than a delicacy.

One is to kill, and two are also to kill.

Now that the rooster is gone, the hen is on the road the next day.

When deciding not to feed, the hen was almost dying the next day.

The two chickens were finally freed by Fang Sanduo's knife. If there is a destiny, Fang Yu wishes that they can turn into lovebirds in the sky and Lianlizhi in the earth, no matter what.

Don't be a chicken in your next life.

Fang Yu ate most of the two servings of chicken soup.

Although Fang Yu also tried to resist, wanting Huang Mei and Fang Sanduo to eat more, but their intentions were very firm.

In order not to attract other people's attention, Fang Yu didn't dare to act too much, and finally had no choice but to accept the kindness of the two.

It's just that when he ate it, the chicken seemed to become a part of his heart immediately, which made Fang Yu's heart feel heavy.

Indescribable.

After eating the chicken, Fang Yu's body immediately became stronger again.

But it's really just a few points, the kind with a full score of 100.

The shortfall from childhood to adulthood, if you want to make up for it with a few meals, unless you have eaten some natural treasures, it is a dream not to let it go.

At most, after a part of his physique has been strengthened, his energy is sufficient again, and he can support his body to explode beyond the limit for a longer time, that's all.

In other words, it strengthened the duration of Fang Yu's ultimate move.

Others haven't changed much.

But at least, with this trump card, besides food, Fang Yu can at least guarantee the personal safety of the three of them from being violated.

When Fang Yu and the others ate only one-third of the food bag in their hands, it was already the 35th day of their escape.

A month has passed.

But the journey is still far away.

The rice grain in his hand can only last half a month at most.

After half a month, Fang Yu and the others will really run out of ammunition and food.

The food crisis is finally here.
