Chapter 255 The Vicious Female Supporting Escape to Farm (5)

  After Xu Yin made up her mind, she began to pack her luggage.

   A stone and a half of millet were all milled into rice in the past two days, and the chaff was dried and dusted off and stuffed into two pillows.

  Half stone, half of the sweet potato is dried in the sun, and half is eaten with rice these days.

  Although the bedding is worn out, it is impossible not to bring one.

   Don’t think it’s hot or not, but what if it rains or the temperature drops.

  Xu Yin took out the quilts at home, and threw them away if they were too rotten. The barely usable quilts were patted loose and then sewed on clean quilts, making two beds.

  I didn't have a few changes of clothes, and I only took all of them with me as a burden.

  Pick pots and pans that are relatively intact. If there are several gaps, even if someone breaks into the house, they probably won't bother to steal it.

  In addition, she dismantled an old door panel used to build a bed, and found some wood. If it was not enough, she went to the foot of the mountain to cut down a tree and came back to make a push-type splicing cart.

   Wooden wheels, it is still a bit difficult to make according to the drawings produced by the system. It took her a lot of time, and she tried it after it was done. The hard wheels rolled very badly, but it was better than nothing.

   Otherwise, with so much luggage and two babies, no matter how strong she is, it won't be easy for her to carry it.

  Although she has a lot of ready-made tires on hand, it must not be too eye-catching.

  Fleeing famine and revealing wealth is equivalent to writing "I have more money, come and rob me" written on my face.

   This reminded her of Yan Dynasty, who was also in a backward ancient plane. With Yan Kejin as the royal backer, she dared to drive a four-wheeled iron cart when she went out.

  Thinking of "him", feeling a little lonely in my heart, I don't know if there is "him" in this small world.

  …

   It's been five days since I packed everything up.

  The water level in the river has obviously dropped a few inches, and the bottom of the river bed can be seen clearly. The fish and shrimp trapped in the shallow water, no matter whether they are alive or dead, have been fished out.

  The dryness and cracking of the fields became more and more serious, and they all radiated like cracks.

  The villagers queued up to fetch water in the river every day, and the village chief arranged for people to maintain order. A family could carry at most two buckets a day, otherwise the river would not be enough.

   Two buckets of water, not to mention food, drink and washing for the whole family, pouring all of it into the rice fields is just a drop in the bucket.

   Besides, there are also vegetable fields in front of and behind the house, which are in urgent need of irrigation.

  It is not that the villagers who are close to the mountain did not think of carrying water from the pool in the mountain.

  Difficult mountain roads and hard work are nothing! As long as there is water!

  However, after going there a few times, I found the footprints of the tiger near the water pool, so I dare not go again.

  The water pool may have become the territory of the big bug.

   Compared with lack of water, life is still more important.

  For a while, people panicked.

  Since Xu Yin decided to flee famine, she never went to the river to fetch water.

  There is some water left at the bottom of the tank for the villagers who occasionally come to the house to inquire about the truth. The usual drinking is basically the Lingxuzong mountain spring water from the system warehouse.

  The mountain spring water containing aura has washed away a lot of impurities in the bodies of the two cubs. We don't expect them to become stronger and stronger in an instant, but we strive to avoid getting sick.

  The water in the water tank was completely used up, and it was time to set off.

  Xu Yin tied the luggage onto the cart, and spread the rice bag in the center of the cart. When the time comes, let the two children sit on the rice bag, so that their buttocks will not suffer a little.

   "Sister-in-law, where are we going?"

"Let's find a place with water." Xu Yin patted the heads of the two children, "Don't worry, we'll be fine this year, and when the rains start to rain next year, we'll come back. By then, your elder brother should be back too." .”

  The two children nodded after hearing the words: "We will go wherever the sister-in-law is going."

  Xu Yin pinched the little noses of the two of them: "I'm not afraid that sister-in-law will betray you!"

   "Sister-in-law is so kind to us, she is not willing to sell us." Erlang grimaced.

  Third Sister giggled.

  Xu Yin sighed in her heart: Silly boy!

  Just as she was about to set off, Xu Yin suddenly thought, do you need a guide to go out these days? Otherwise, can I get out of Fucheng?

  She patted her forehead and told the two children: "You guys wait at home, I'll go to Li Chang's house."

At this time, the men from each family saw that the water in the village was completely cut off, so they carried buckets to look for water outside the village, while the young men guarded the foot of the mountain to prevent wild animals without water from rushing down the mountain and harming the crops. Suddenly, they heard "buzzing buzzing" from the west. the sound of.

   "It's bad! It's bad! The locusts are coming!"

   "Plague of locusts! It's a plague of locusts!"

  The villagers who were the first to discover it stumbled over, shouting heartbreakingly as they ran: "It's over, it's over! My land! The rations for my family of eleven!"

  The villagers turned pale, and ran home in a hurry, holding nets for fluttering butterflies and broken fishing nets, and came out to fight against the locusts in order to save the life-saving food in the fields.

   But there are fewer people and more locusts.

  Trillions of locusts swept across the sky.

   "Migratory locusts cover the sky and the sun is colorless, and wild old fields weep with blood." It is not just talk about locusts crossing the border and no harvest.

  The villagers stared blankly at the rice fields that had been eaten up by locusts, regretting their mistakes.

  A man's eyes were bloodshot, and he slapped himself hard.

  Why don't you listen to Da Lang's wife, why don't you harvest the millet earlier!

  What does it matter if the green millet does not weigh the scale! Anyway, it's my family's rations. If you save a little, you can survive the famine.

   Now it’s better, it was eaten by locusts, and there was no harvest!

   No harvest!

   "My God!"

  Even the usually resolute man couldn't help crying.

   Not to mention those women.

  Xu Yin saw this scene on the way, and her heart was pulled hard.

   In such a tragic situation, not only Lijia Village, but also the surrounding villages all inevitably suffered from locust plagues.

A woman wiped her tears and scolded Aunt Li: "It's all your fault! I wanted to harvest the rice that day, but you insisted that Dalang's wife was uneasy and kind, and caused our family to have no harvest. I will fight with you! "

How could Mrs. Li be beaten and scolded by her? Although she also regretted it, she couldn't hold back her stubbornness: "I forced you? I kicked you out? It's clear that you are vacillating, so blame me! Damn you dare to scratch me!" !"

   "Enough! Shut up!" The chief closed his eyes in despair.

   It was his fault! He is not decisive enough!

   He is guilty!

   "The chief..."

"Let's go!" The head of the village waved his hand at them, "Drought and locust plagues will not be the only ones suffering in our village. This year's life will not be easy. If you have relatives in other places, you should go and seek refuge as soon as possible, before the people on the road are still there. There are too many, hurry up! If it continues, there will be more and more people, and the city gate may be closed, and you will not be able to go anywhere by then!"

  When everyone heard this, they ignored the fights and quarrels, wiped away their tears, and went home silently to pack their bags.

   Regardless of whether there are relatives in other places, leave here first.

  As the head of the village said: locusts have been plagued for a hundred miles around, and the water shortage is so serious, where can I go for food and water?

  Escape may have a way out.

  If you flee famine caused by a disaster, you don’t need a guide.

  Xu Yin ran home to buy time to leave the village early.

  When people in all villages realize that they can't stay in their hometown, the roads will be full of people fleeing famine.

  She has experienced the life of a peasant girl fleeing famine, with many people and troubles.

   Congratulations to Sahua for being promoted to hall master~ヽ(°▽°)ノThanks(ω)
