Chapter 255 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (5) (thanks to the pure heart~)
After Xu Yin decided, she started packing her luggage.
One stone and a half grains were ground into rice in the past two days. The husks were dried in the sun and the ashes were thrown away and stuffed into two pillows.
Half of the sweet potato is dried and half is dried, and half is mixed with rice to eat these days.
Although the bedding is shabby, it is impossible not to wear one.
It doesn’t matter if it’s hot or not, but what if it rains or the temperature drops.
Xu Yin took out the bedding at home and threw away the ones that were really rotten. She dried and fluffed the ones that could be used and sewed clean sheets on them to make two beds.
There are not a few pieces of clothes, and all are rolled up with all the burdens.
Bring pots and pans that are relatively intact. Even if someone breaks into the house with several gaps, 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 prepare a push-type splicing cart.
The wooden wheel was still a bit difficult to make according to the drawings produced by the system. It took her a lot of time. After making it, she tried it. The hard wheel rolled very poorly, but it was better than nothing.
Otherwise, with so much luggage and two children, it would be difficult for her to carry them no matter how strong she was.
Although she had a lot of ready-made tires on hand, it would definitely not work if they were too eye-catching.
Escape from famine and still reveal your wealth, which is equivalent to writing "I have more money, come and rob me" written on your face.
This reminded her of the time in the Yan Dynasty, which was also in a backward ancient plane. With Yan Kejin as a royal backer, she could not even drive a four-wheeled iron car when going out.
Thinking of "him", I feel a little lonely. I don't know if there is "him" in this small world.
…
It was five days after I packed everything up.
The water level in the river has obviously dropped by a few inches, and you can clearly see the bottom of the river bed. The fish and shrimp trapped in the shallow water have been fished out, no matter whether they are alive or dead.
The fields are becoming increasingly dry and cracked, with cracks radiating out.
The villagers lined up in long lines to carry water from the river every day. The village chief arranged for people to maintain order. A family could carry no more than two buckets a day, otherwise the river water would not be enough.
Two buckets of water, not to mention the food, drink and washing of the whole family, are poured into the rice fields, which is just a drop in the bucket.
Besides, there are vegetable plots in front of and behind the house, which are also in urgent need of irrigation.
Villages who are close to the mountains have never thought of going to the mountain pools to fetch water.
The mountain road is difficult to walk and the hard work is nothing! Just have water!
However, after only a few visits, I found the footprints of a large insect near the waterhole, and I did not dare to go there again.
The water pool may have become the territory of giant insects.
Compared with lack of water, life is more important after all.
For a time, people were panicked.
Since Xu Yin decided to flee the famine, she never went to the river to carry water.
There is some water left at the bottom of the tank to deal with the villagers who occasionally come to the house to inquire about the situation. The usual drinking water is basically the Lingxu Sect mountain spring water transferred from the system warehouse.
The mountain spring water containing spiritual energy has washed away a lot of impurities from the two boys' bodies. We don't expect them to become strong and healthy instantly, but we try to make them less sick.
The water in the water tank has been completely used up, and it’s time to set off.
Xu Yin tied the luggage and belongings onto the cart, and spread the rice bags in the center of the cart. When the time comes, let the two children sit on the rice bags, so that their buttocks will suffer less.
“Sister-in-law, where are we going?”
"Let's find a place with water." Xu Yin touched the heads of the two children. "Don't worry, just get through this year and it will be fine. There will be more rain in spring next year, so we will come back. By then, your eldest brother should also be back. .”
Hearing this, the two children nodded their heads: "Wherever my sister-in-law goes, we will go." Xu Yin pinched their little noses: "I'm not afraid that my sister-in-law will betray you!"
“Sister-in-law is so kind to us that she is reluctant to sell us.” Erlang made a face.
Three sisters giggled.
Xu Yin sighed in her heart: What a silly boy!
Just as she was about to set off, Xu Yin suddenly remembered, does she need a guide when going out these days? Otherwise, can we leave the city?
She patted her forehead and told the two children: "You guys wait at home while I go to take care of the family."
At this time, the men from each family saw that the village was completely without water, so they carried buckets and went outside the village to find water. The young men were guarding the foot of the mountain to prevent wild beasts from running down the mountain and damaging the crops. Suddenly they heard a "buzzing" coming from the west. the sound of.
“It’s not good! It’s not good! The locusts are coming!”
“A plague of locusts! It’s a plague of locusts!”
The villager who was the first to discover it stumbled over, shouting heartily as he ran, "It's over, it's over! My land! The food for my family of eleven!"
The villagers' faces turned pale and they ran home in a hurry. They came out with butterfly nets and broken fishing nets to fight against the locusts in order to save the life-saving food in the fields.
There are fewer people but more locusts.
Trillions of locusts swept across the sky.
“The locusts cover the sky and the sun is colorless, and the wild fields shed tears and blood.” Locusts passing through the border and harvesting nothing are not just words.
The villagers looked at the rice fields that had been eaten away by locusts with dull eyes, feeling regretful.
One man’s eyes were bloodshot and he slapped himself hard.
Why didn’t you listen to Dalang’s wife? Why didn’t you harvest the millet earlier?
What does it matter if the green millet is not weighed? After all, it is the food ration for my family. If I save it, I can survive the famine years.
Now it’s fine, it was eaten by locusts and no grains were harvested!
There is no harvest!
“Heaven!”
Even the normally resolute man couldn't help but burst into tears.
Let alone those women.
Xu Yin saw this scene while running, and her heart was severely pinched.
In such a tragic situation, not only one Lijia village, but all the surrounding villages were inevitably hit by locust plagues.
A woman wiped her tears and scolded Aunt Li: "It's all your fault! I had planned to harvest the rice that day. If you insist that the elder man's daughter-in-law is unkind and her family has no harvest, I will fight with you!" "
How could Aunt Li let her beat and scold her? Although she also regretted it, she couldn't hold back her words: "Did I force you? Did I push you away? It's obviously you who wavered on your own, but you blame me! Damn you, how dare you scratch me? !”
“That’s enough! Shut up!” The leader closed his eyes in despair.
It's his fault! It's because he's not decisive enough!
He is guilty!
“Li long…”
"Let's go!" The village chief waved his hand to them, "Drought is followed by locust plague. Our village will not be the only one suffering. Life will not be easy this year. If you have relatives in other places, go and seek refuge as soon as possible before there are people on the road. If you wait too long, hurry up and leave! If we delay it any longer, there will be more and more people, and the city gate may be closed, and then we won’t be able to go anywhere!”
Once everyone heard this, they stopped fighting and quarreling, wiped away their tears, and went home in silence to pack their bags.
Whether you have relatives in other places or not, let’s leave here first.
As the chief said: There is a locust plague all over the country, and the water shortage is so serious. Where can we go to find food and water?
There might be a way to escape.
When escaping from famine caused by a disaster, there is no need for road guides.
Xu Yin ran home to try to get time to leave the village early.
When people in each village realize that they can no longer stay in their hometowns, the roads will be full of people fleeing famine.
She has experienced the life of a peasant girl fleeing from famine, where there were many people and chaos.
