Quick travel to save a miserable life

Early the next morning, when Erniu was still drowsily asleep, he was woken up by someone. A bunch of people gathered around him asking questions, asking him if he felt anything, whether he felt uncomfortable or not.

Er Niu was frightened by this formation. He just wanted to pee right now!

So, under the attention of a group of people, he went to the roadside to release water, and then came back to answer a group of people's questions.

Fortunately, the village chief stopped everyone and allowed him to ask questions while others could only listen.

After Erniu answered the questions that he didn't have stomach pain or discomfort, he even stood on the spot and jumped a few times to prove to everyone how healthy he was.

Finally, he stroked his belly and said with a drunken expression: "It feels so good to be full. I really want to have another meal!"

The uncles and uncles who had been hungry all around looked at the village chief eagerly.

Now that Erniu has eaten so much, nothing happened overnight. This proves that the pile of food is edible and not poisonous. Can the big guys eat it separately?

The village chief was also very happy. At this time when food was about to run out, there was unexpectedly such a large amount of edible things. This was a blessing from heaven.

And yesterday, so many people swore that there was nothing there during the day, but that it suddenly appeared after dark. How else could it have come about if it wasn't a gift from God?

The village chief quickly made arrangements and asked the heads of each family to come over for a meeting to discuss how to distribute this hungry thing.

For the sake of convenience, the village chief named Erniu's newly discovered food "Red Skin".

There were so many red skins, and I didn’t know how much they weighed. I didn’t have time to weigh them all. After a final discussion, it was decided to divide them according to the head. Each person would be divided into 30 kilograms first. The village chief would choose a few people to keep the rest until everyone When people have enough to eat, they divide the rest.

As for saying that with these red skins that can fill the stomach, they will no longer run away and return to their hometown, that does not exist.

Even if all these are divided, how much can one person share, how long can he eat, and what to do after eating? We still have to face the pressure from the government. Therefore, even if we have so much food, we still have to continue to escape.

When the dividends were distributed, the village chief couldn't help but feel lucky that because the young people in the village were injured, their village stayed for a day and was considered a laggard, so there were not many people from other villages nearby today.

Otherwise, he really has no confidence that he can keep so much food.

The village chief knew how many people there were in each household in the village. There was no need for a roster at all. One or two people from each household would be sent to collect the shares, and he could tell the share they should get in one glance.

Just like that, the newly discovered red skin filled the grain bags of each family. There was no need for the village chief to spread it. Everyone already knew how to eat it.

The easiest way is of course to cut it into pieces and boil it in water, but this will take a little more water. Although water is easier to find in this world than before, it is still very precious, so roasting it in the fire is the easiest way.

For a time, the alluring sweet fragrance was wafting around the Niujia Village.

In order to save water, the Zhang family also grilled food. There were eight people in the family, and they grilled four in total, and each of them ate one.

Lin Hui and Cui Ya were given one. Lin Hui once ate this food until she felt like vomiting. She really wasn't interested in it, so she let Cui Ya eat it first.

The child ignored the burning of his hands and mouth, hugging the sweet roasted red skin and chewing it until he couldn't lift his head.

However, her belly was also small. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't finish a roasted sweet potato weighing more than a kilogram, and the remaining half went into Lin Hui's belly.

After each person divided thirty kilograms, there was too much red skin left. We could only weigh them, record the weight, and put them on each family's cart. The person responsible for the storage would be responsible for keeping it at home. The next time you distribute the dividends, you can distribute a little more.

After the people of Niujia Village had a full meal, they started to hit the road again.

Now that I have something to fill my stomach, my spirit is different, and even my steps are much easier.

However, because the Zhang family's cart not only has to carry their own rations, but also has to bear the task of transporting a hundred kilograms allocated by the village, no more people can sit on it, and several children have to get out and walk.

Moreover, the men were too tired to push the carts, and the women could not go empty-handed. Zhang Shen and Shen Xiuhua both carried a lot of things on their backs. Only Lin Hui survived because of her pregnancy.

Although Lin Hui didn't carry any luggage, Cuiya's legs were short and she couldn't walk very far. Lin Hui had to carry her for a while, which was not an easy day at the end of the day.

When we stopped to rest in the evening, many people were surrounding the village chief asking where we were ahead and how long we had to walk before we could find a way to survive!

In fact, the village chief doesn't know much, but at this time, he always has to say something to appease everyone: "I heard that more than a hundred miles to the south is Jiangcheng. It is a big city near the Yangtze River. It is wealthy. Here, by the water, life will be much easier, maybe they can take us in then."

However, some people are worried: "There are many young and old in our team. Can they take them all in?"

Then someone immediately picked up the conversation: "Even if Jiangcheng doesn't work, aren't there other big cities? We have been away from home for almost twenty days, and it's time to leave the disaster area. There are many big cities in the south, and we must be there." A place to stay.”

"That's it!" "That's right!" "That's right!" The people around him responded one after another, not knowing whether they really thought so or were trying to comfort themselves.

Zhang Shitou was also among the crowd. When he returned to his tent in the evening, he told Zhang Shen what everyone had guessed, thinking that he would soon be able to end his days of escaping and find a place to stay.

Lin Hui couldn't help but sneer when she heard this.

It's not as simple as they think. In less than three days, news of rebellion will come from the north. Although the rebels are still far away from Yingzhou, the officials along the way are more vigilant.

In fact, the government had originally decided to admit the victims into the city in a planned and orderly manner starting from Jiangcheng, and disperse the victims evenly into some surrounding large cities, breaking them into pieces, and breaking up the fleeing army to avoid greater conflicts in the future.

But who knew that at this juncture, there would be a rebellion in the north.

Although the place where the rebellion took place was still far away from today's Yingzhou and Jiangcheng, there was a real shortage of troops in the north, and the local area couldn't recruit troops, so they decided to target the victims.

As a result, the imperial court began to recruit soldiers among the disaster victims and signed up voluntarily. Once selected, the family would receive a subsidy of ten kilograms of grain and two taels of silver. This was much more favorable than the conditions in the peaceful years.

Since the imperial court wants to employ people, it will naturally not allow nearby cities to accept disaster victims at this time. Otherwise, if they feel that their days are better, who would want to become a soldier!
