Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

The money was sent by their subordinates when they were in Mo City. Although Mr. Zhang had a difficult journey, after leaving Mo City, they were able to buy some food from time to time in the surrounding post stations and villages. Don't think about water, there was a severe shortage of water everywhere.

So their life on the journey was not very difficult, they just had no choice but to take a horse carriage because of the severe shortage of water. Otherwise, life would have been a little better.

They are about to reach Chuncheng, where they can replenish their used-up supplies. They have only walked a quarter of the way, and a month has already passed. They don't know how to proceed from here.

After four days of traveling, walking nearly ninety miles a day, they finally arrived at the edge of the Ten-Li Mountain. Looking at the bright sunshine outside, none of the family members were happy, because they knew this was a sign of the impending disaster.

Now the situation has evolved to the point where it is already dawn after only half an hour of darkness. Originally, they sat down to rest when it was dark, and before they finished their meal, it was dawn. Everyone was eating with their bowls in hand, looking a little confused because they had been traveling in the dark before, so they had just finished their meal.

Mo Ruru and Zhou Guichun had just made the torches, but before they could light them the weather got brighter. Now they didn't know whether they should light the torches or not.

The old man stood there silently, watching the weather. The woods were so quiet these days, so quiet that it was scary. It seemed as if everything here had disappeared a few days ago, not to mention pheasants and other animals. Even snakes, insects, rats and ants could not be seen now. The mosquitoes that had been buzzing around them before were gone.

Wang Shiyu felt that there seemed to be something strange in the depths of the forest. If they didn't leave the Ten-Li Mountain, they would be in trouble. Before leaving, she sent a message to Uncle Zhang to ask them to leave the Ten-Li Mountain immediately. She didn't know how fast they were now. They walked so fast, but they still felt that they were swept away by this strange feeling.

So they only rested for less than two hours that day before hurrying up and starting on their journey. Wang Shiyu seemed to have sensed the tense atmosphere, so she and her brother listened very much to the adults and did whatever they were told. She kept a close eye on her brother, not letting him run around, but giving him some snacks and asking him to stand beside her obediently.

Wang Shiyi leaned against his sister's legs with delicious potato chips in his hand. Although he didn't know why he suddenly became nervous these two days, as long as he was with his family, he was not afraid of anything.

In order to save some trouble when eating, Wang Shiyu took out the generator and started using the machine to ferment, knead the dough and steam the buns. Although they were not as chewy and delicious as those made by hand, it was good enough to fill her stomach during a stressful time.

She also fermented a lot of flour and made big buns with pure meat filling. She also picked out celery and cabbage and made buns with two kinds of vegetable fillings. She also fried some fermented dough cakes to ensure that the family would have enough dry food for half a month. In order to avoid making a fire to cook and have more time to rest, she found some milk and drank it directly with the meals.

This way you can also get enough protein, such as eggs and goose eggs. Eat one every day. Xiaoyi can't finish it, so he lets his father eat it. Wang Shiyu always supports the white one and doesn't eat the yellow one, so Wang Yixin eats the yellow one.

Mr. Zhang, who was already two days late in his journey down the mountain, began to feel more and more uneasy. Wang Huan had come before to chat with Zhang Tao and told him about his family affairs. He felt that he could not stay here for long. He believed in his nephew's words, which came true along the way, so he went straight to find the black-faced officer who was leading the group.

"Brother Yan, I have been feeling a little uneasy these past two days. It seems like something is coming down from the Ten-Li Mountain. Why don't we speed up and leave the Ten-Li Mountain as soon as possible?"

The officer looked at the Ten-Li Mountain in surprise, then looked at Old Man Zhang. In fact, he had also noticed something strange during this period. After all, there were no wild beasts coming down the mountain, which was not normal. When they walked on the road before, they could hear one or two wolf howls or the sound of a poisonous snake passing by from time to time, but in the past few days, even the buzzing mosquitoes disappeared. How could they not notice anything unusual?

"Did the old man find anything?"

The officer had already wanted to leave, so he asked.

"I don't know. It's just a hunch. You should have noticed that all the snakes, insects, rats, ants and wild animals have disappeared recently. This may be the rhythm of a major disaster. Otherwise, how can we explain the disappearance of these animals?"

Zhang Tao was an old general, and the officers believed what he said, so he started to shout directly, saying that Wang and his men had enough supplies and there was no point in staying any longer, which would only waste food.

"Everyone, speed up and walk at least a hundred miles a day, otherwise we will leave you behind and make you deserters. If you desert, your descendants will never have a chance to rise again."

After saying that, he started to walk to the end of the team. If anyone couldn't keep up, the whip in his hand would fall directly on that person.

With this deterrent effect, even those who could not keep up with the team before, miraculously caught up with the team and stayed at the very end of the team without being left behind. This made the officers leading the team marvel at it.

It seems that these people were pretending to be unable to walk a few days ago, and their journey was slowed down every time because of these people who were holding them back.

Naturally, I also understood that these people were just bullies who only bullied the weak and feared the strong, because they had not been walking in a particularly fast pace before. According to their itinerary, they were now walking fast.

As they quickened their pace, they finally left the Ten-Li Mountain in five days. Everyone was exhausted, so they stopped at the edge of the Ten-Li Mountain and began to rest. There was no night now, and the entire twelve hours of the day were daytime, making it even worse for those who already had a poor rest.

Zhang Tao and his companions, who were somewhat numb from traveling so fast, were now lying under the woods on the edge of the Ten-mile Mountain, looking at the azure blue sky. They did not feel sleepy at all. Moreover, they had actually felt very itchy in the past two days, as if something sharp had scratched them. However, the only reason they had this feeling was because of traveling and the sun's scorching sun.

What surprised them was that when it was night time, there was no sun in the sky, but it was still very bright and the sky was still blue.

After resting at the edge of the Ten-Li Mountain, they continued to move forward, because everyone was getting nervous if they didn't leave the Ten-Li Mountain.

To be honest, the people in the Zhang family's exile team are basically all high-ranking officials and nobles. On the contrary, they trust their intuition very much, because their intuition can help them avoid many problems. When they feel that something is wrong here, no matter how tired they are, they will leave, even if they have to crawl away.

Just as they watched the sun set and continued to move forward, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound behind them.

"Everyone speed up, run faster!!!"

The black-faced official urged everyone to leave them in panic. This group of people were relatively obedient, and they had already packed their things as they were planning to set off.

Zhang Lei and Zhang Jie pulled the cart very fast, one pulling and the other pushing, and they ran very fast. The old lady of the Zhang family who was sitting in the cart was shaken badly, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she tightly wrapped the edge of the board to try not to cause trouble to her children.

After hearing the voice, Mr. Zhang Tao ran forward with his head down, holding his two grandsons and three granddaughters in his hands. The other older children surrounded their parents.

The five little ones were talking around him. When he heard the voices, he hurriedly grabbed a few of the children and ran forward.

After the officer finished speaking, he had already run for a long distance. The black-faced officer knew that they would not run too far, so he did not go to the front to stop them and let them run faster. Instead, he chose to stay behind and let the rest of the people leave quickly. Once too many people died, they would also be punished.

When they had been running for less than half an hour, they could still see the situation in the Ten-Li Mountains from afar. At this time, they could see the situation in the Ten-Li Mountains.

Dust was flying inside the mountain. The people who were observing the situation over there looked at what was inside and it seemed that the wild beast that had never been seen before suddenly began to run down the mountain.

"Old General, it seems that the wild animals in the mountain are running down the mountain. I wonder what happened in the mountain that prompted them to run down the mountain?"

The black-faced guard walked up to Zhang Tao and was talking to him about what had just happened. The old man had fought in many places throughout his life and had seen many things. It was not like they had never seen such a strange sight before. Before, it was just a few wild beasts coming down the mountain to hurt people.

The old man panted, stood up and looked at the dust in the ten-mile mountain behind him. In his heart, he kept wondering what kind of situation could make these wild beasts living in the forest run down the mountain regardless of everything.

After thinking for a long time, something suddenly flashed through his mind: "I am afraid of earthquakes. It is an earthquake."

The old man suddenly remembered that more than ten years ago when they were fighting at Yanmen Pass, when they were arranging their troops, all the war horses in their camp began to neigh and wanted to run to other places. This happened. The earthquake that time was not serious, but it made the livestock become violent and even human power could not pacify these animals, and they could only control the horses by force.

"Quick, take all of us to an open area without any obstructions to avoid accidental injuries. There must be no obstructions around us. Once the earthquake starts, we don't know when it will end. Everyone, hold on to your things. If you are scattered, there is a place called Qianmen Town ahead. We will meet there when the time comes."

When the black-faced officers heard that it was an earthquake, they knew it was a matter of life and death, so they hurried on their way. Because they were familiar with the roads here, they naturally knew that there was an open area only five miles ahead.

It used to be farmland, but later the villagers who lived here moved away and no one started farming here. It is the best place.

"Everyone, move forward five kilometers. There is a good open area ahead that can allow everyone to escape the earthquake. If you are scattered, there is a place called Qianmen Town ahead. You can meet there when the time comes."

This word slowly spread from the front to the back, letting the people at the back also know the situation. Because some force majeure factors caused them to leave the team, they could rush to the place mentioned by the official within the specified time. In this way, they could be exempted from punishment as long as they arrived at the place of exile on time.

When everyone heard the old man talk about this situation, it seemed that every family had a family diary, and they seemed to have heard of this situation. Naturally, they believed the old man's words, and continued to move forward despite their physical fatigue. Finally, they arrived at the open space when the sun rose high.

This open space had not been taken care of for many years, so it was overgrown with weeds and there seemed to be no small animals in it. Their team of more than 300 people were so tired that they lay down on the ground and began to look at the situation in the sky.

This place is really good. It is flat and there are no large shelters. Once an earthquake starts, no one should be injured here. But if the earthquake is strong and this place collapses, there will be nothing he can do but leave it to fate.

The sparrows that had disappeared suddenly began to appear, chirping and flying away. The old man was exhausted, leaning on his son and watching the sparrows flying in the sky. This place should not be a particularly safe place, but it is much safer than the foot of the Ten Mile Mountain. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the people who stayed at the foot of the Ten Mile Mountain. I wonder what kind of impact the beasts will have on them this time.

With the earthquake and the wild beasts rioting, it is unknown whether the garrison of Chuncheng, which has only 3,000 people, can protect Chuncheng from being breached. When the underground cave comes, it is unknown whether they can escape.

He suddenly felt a little regretful that he did not remind the team in front of him to score points, because there were several of his old subordinates in those teams, although they had already switched to other teams.

But after all, they worked together in the past. Although he became that man's disciple because he married the daughter of that family, he had never done anything to let him down. But now he felt a little regretful.

At this time, all the wild animals, big and small, in the ten-mile mountains hurriedly gathered in Chuncheng. If there was a helicopter filming, they would be able to see that strange scene.
