The famine-escape cub vs. the fake daughter cub
Chapter 54 Walking
In the ox cart, on the straw half a person's height, two medium-sized dogs were lying side by side. Their four legs were neatly arranged in two parallel lines. Next to them was a delicate-looking little boy, who was lying on his side with his eyes closed, one hand resting on his belly, and the other hand resting next to the dog's paw.
The boy was sitting back to back with a little girl who looked exactly like him and was in the same position. Next to the little girl was a beautiful girl. The wind made their hair flutter.
The oxcart was swaying and bumping from time to time, but because there was too much straw in the oxcart, everyone did not feel uncomfortable and still slept soundly.
When Yunli woke up, it was already dawn.
There is a fan hanging at each of the four corners of the carriage, so the carriage is not stuffy, and there is only the fresh fragrance of dried straw.
She opened the car window and stuck her head out to look around.
There were 43 households and nearly 400 people in the entire Yunjia Village. When they traveled together, the team was so huge that it was almost impossible to see the end.
The ox cart of Yunli's family was in the middle, and the front was blocked by the carriage, so it was not clear who was there, but behind them was Aunt Fang's ox cart. The one driving the ox cart at the moment was Uncle Yun Daqiang, who smiled and greeted her when he saw her looking over.
The ox cart was not moving very fast, it could even be said to be walking at a pace.
There were many uncles, aunts and uncles walking on the ground, and sometimes they had to jog to keep up with the ox carts.
The sun was hanging in the east and had not yet risen, but everyone's clothes were already soaked with sweat.
There were a total of twenty-seven cows in the village a few days ago. Yunli was very curious about how those families who didn't have cows pushed their luggage.
She got off the ox cart decisively and started to inquire about the situation.
Families with a lot of luggage, such as Uncle Daqiang's family, have two strong laborers work together, one pushing a wheelbarrow or a two-wheeled cart, and the other driving a bullock cart to rest. After a while, they take turns, and the women also help. Older children and the elderly follow and walk on the ground. When they get tired, they take turns to sit in the corners of the cart to rest for a while.
In times of disaster, food and water are extremely precious, so they must be properly stored in the oxcart. Both the load-bearing capacity of the carriage and the pulling power of the old ox are limited, so naturally, many people cannot be put on the carriage to increase the pressure.
Behind each ox cart was a small cart, just like the one in Yunli's house. But there was a difference. The villagers' carts were two-wheeled, not four-wheeled like the one in Yunli's house. Therefore, the villagers did not dare to put heavy food, but only put some food, bedding, clothes and other light things that took up space. Most of them had no compartments, but were tied with ropes to hold the things.
Among the ox carts, there were also some donkey carts and mule carts.
Since he decided to flee the famine, Yunli never went to the locust tree at the entrance of the village to listen to gossip. Therefore, he didn't know how much these donkeys and mules cost.
I don't think it would be that cheap.
Mule carts are fine for pulling heavy loads, but donkey carts are not. Donkey carts can pull very little weight, so there are two adults behind each donkey cart to help push it.
But it is much more comfortable than a stroller.
Yunli looked around and saw Boss Yun at the end of the team, carrying a lanyard on his shoulder and pushing a cart. His eyes widened immediately.
isn't it?
During the years when Yun's father was alive, he gave so much money to the public treasury. From the time of the accident until his death, Old Lady Song never spent more than ten taels of silver on him. When she kicked the whole family out of the house, she didn't give him a penny. With so much money, this old man only got a belt to carry the cart?
What did Old Lady Song do with the money? Did she buy books for Old Third Yun?
Gee tut.
Seeing that this big family couldn’t even get a donkey cart, Yunli wanted to laugh.
She ran back to her own ox cart in two or three steps, jumped onto the cart, and rolled twice on the haystack.
After thinking about it, she placed two small ice cubes on each of the small trays placed in front of the four fans, and the wind that blew out was a little chilly.
Very comfortable.
Yunli hugged his sister-in-law, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
The back of the convoy.
Yunhu felt that blisters had formed on the soles of his feet.
A bad year!
When she learned that it was Yunli's favor that the price of the cow was so low, she was very unhappy. It happened that a little sister of hers was going to buy a cow, and she knew that the cow was bought the day before and the clerk helped to drive the ox cart back, so she gave her some money and asked her to bring one for her.
Who could have imagined that there were only 17 cows left, not one more!
Grandma's heart ached so much that it bled!
When I went to buy a mule the next day, the unscrupulous merchant actually raised the price to twenty-three taels! He also said that it was up to you to buy it or not, there were many people who wanted to buy it!
This really pissed off the grandmother! She said she lost thirteen taels!
After much persuasion, the price was reduced to twenty-one taels, and grandma gritted her teeth and bought it!
But who knew that the mule would die on the third day? !
He was still full of life two days ago!
The meat couldn't be preserved in the hot weather, so the whole family stayed up all night to roast the mule and make it into jerky. The taste was also extremely bad.
To make matters worse, everyone went to the town every day for the next two days, but they could neither find the profiteer who sold their sick mule nor anyone who wanted to sell a mule.
There wasn’t even anyone selling donkeys!
Grandma has so much money in her hands, but she just can't spend it!
When the grandmother was chatting with the little sister, her words also contained resentment that the other party did not resolutely buy a cow for her that day - "Even if you buy an old cow, a cow will do!"
The other party also got angry.
Helping others can also cause trouble.
The two of them fell out smoothly.
Or in other words, the younger sister took advantage of the situation to have a falling out with her grandmother.
If I don't fall out with her, how can I refuse my grandmother's request to hang her own cart on the back of her car?
Then all the people with whom I had a good relationship rejected this request.
When it comes to their own lives, what do other people’s lives have to do with them?
Yunhu felt more and more that the world was cruel and indifferent.
Yun Lao Da's wife, Jin, could only comfort him dryly, "It's okay. When we get to the next town, the disaster might be better than ours. Maybe there will be people selling livestock there."
But now there are no animals, so we can only use people as animals.
The eldest brother Yun was carrying a cart, which was loaded with rice for the family. The eldest brother Yun was also carrying a cart, which was loaded with water for the family.
The carts they pushed were loaded with bedding, pots, pans, and other large items of daily use. The women also had plenty of time to spare, and the baskets on their backs were filled with food and water.
Yunshuang was still very young, but she was carrying a load weighing more than 20 kilograms.
She was also the only child carrying anything heavy.
Yunhu, Yunbo, Yun Erge's only son Yunhao, and Yun Laosan, these four people are the ones who don't have to carry anything at home and can travel light.
Even so, Yunhu still felt like his legs were about to break.
She felt suffocated at the thought of such endless days.
