Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

At this time, all the wild beasts, big and small, in the ten-mile mountains hurriedly gathered to Chuncheng. If there was a helicopter shooting, you could see a strange scene: the bigger beasts carried the smaller ones and started running down the mountain, while the refugees at the gate of Chuncheng still seemed as if nothing had happened, slumped or lying at the gate waiting for the porridge distribution time the next morning.

No one noticed the situation inside the Ten-Li Mountain, but the officers and soldiers who were patrolling at the city gate had already noticed the situation in the Ten-Li Mountain, because the direction of the smoke seemed to be rushing towards Chuncheng.

As soon as they noticed the situation, they quickly reported it. The officials in Chuncheng quickly reported it to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord was looking at the situation in Chuncheng, and Wei Chunfeng was having a terrible headache right now.

There were more and more refugees at the city gate, and less and less food in the city. People who went to other cities to exchange food brought news that they could not buy food at all, which made him feel even more disappointed.

Just when he was worrying about what the refugees at the city gate should eat, he heard some unusual noises on the mountain, which were very obvious.

At this time, he did not care about the refugees outside the city. He quickly stood up and climbed up the city wall and looked at the Ten-Li Mountain. At this time, the dust had already spread to the halfway point of the Ten-Li Mountain.

Originally, Wei Chunfeng wanted to open the city gate to allow the refugees outside the city wall at the foot of the mountain to enter the city, but it was too late. He could only seize the time to let the team that was about to enter the city pass quickly, and then close the city gate of Chuncheng tightly.

The refugees were very puzzled as to why the city gate that opened from the outside was suddenly closed today. Some smart people naturally discovered the problem and began to flee to another part of the city wall.

More people were running around like headless flies. Some gathered at the city gate and demanded that the Lord of Chuncheng open the city gate and save their lives. Some even started cursing because the city gate was delayed in opening.

The sound of people swearing did not disturb Wei Chunfeng from arranging the soldiers on the city wall to guard Chuncheng. He looked at the people below and then glanced at the people who were busy in the city.

He could only choose to protect one side. He was the lord of Chuncheng and could not abandon the residents in the city. As for the refugees outside, he had no way to help them and could only leave it to fate.

However, he did not give up the idea of ​​rescuing these people. Instead, he chose to have people shout to these refugees to go around the city and go to the back door behind the city wall, where a small door could be temporarily opened for them to come in and take refuge. If the wild beasts on the mountain came down, the small door would be immediately sealed.

If they are not seen within the specified time, then we can only say that these people are not destined to survive.

Wei Chunfeng looked at the powerless people under the city wall with pity on his face, and then arranged for the soldiers to go up to the city wall and shout to them to go back, because he had just seen quite a few people running back, probably wanting to go to the small door at the back, and these people were smart enough to seize the opportunity.

After arranging guards to protect Chuncheng, Wei Chunfeng hurried back to the City Lord's Mansion and began writing letters for help and sending them to nearby cities. He didn't know whether he could survive the coming of this tide of beasts, but he would do his best to protect the people in the city.

The carrier pigeons couldn't fly out at all because they were all trembling and had no way to deliver the message. Wei Chunfeng could only pull out his two treasured fast horses and ask people to at least deliver the letter for help as soon as possible. They had no idea that the situation in other places was the same as in Chuncheng. Animals everywhere began to migrate in search of open and safe places.

The fast-running wild beasts on the mountain soon reached the city wall, but they did not besiege the people under the city wall. Instead, they ran back directly from the side. They seemed to be running towards Mo City. Some of them went directly along the direction of the Ten-Li Mountain towards the Zhang family's team.

After the wild beasts arrived at the open area, they ignored the people there and gathered together, as if waiting for something to arrive. They had no intention of biting or beating the people to death, but instead deliberately stayed away from them.

The guards in the city did not dare to act rashly, for fear that these animals would suddenly riot and harm those who had not entered the city. At this time, a small door at the back door had been opened to allow people to come in as quickly as possible.

After all the animals at the foot of the mountain gathered together, seeing that there were still many people who had not come in, Wei Chunfeng did not hesitate at all and ordered people to seal the door directly. Even though people later knocked on the door frantically, no one paid any attention.

The wild animals were curiously watching the people knocking on the small door and thought that these people were fools. There was about to be a strong earthquake, but they still had the mood to run into the city instead of running outside to save their lives.

Humans are now completely occupied with the thought that wild animals may come down the mountain and bite people to death, and they are no longer able to think about why these wild animals suddenly give up their lives in the mountains and come here.

They would only think that because there was no water or food in the mountains, these wild beasts were starving, so they came down the mountain to look for prey to fill their stomachs. They, who were powerless, were their best snacks.

Looking at the more than ten-meter-long snake, everyone was trembling with fear. The golden vertical pupils were staring at these people curiously, as if he had met such people on the mountain two days ago. For some reason, he felt that the people he met on the mountain two days ago seemed very smart, much smarter than these people.

At least those people knew that it was very dangerous here and would choose to leave the mountain instead of gathering at the foot of the mountain. He didn't even smell the scent of those people, so they probably had already left.

Zhang Tao ordered the officers to disperse all the people and not let them gather together to avoid hurting each other. Because they were walking faster, they left behind those who were fleeing the famine together.

There were only them on this empty grassland. Since there were few people, the place was very spacious and everyone could be accommodated after they dispersed.

Then Zhang Tao arranged for everyone to lie on the ground, hold their heads with their hands, and make all preparations to prevent collisions. Then he slowly looked at the herd of animals in the distance. They lay on the ground in almost the same posture as them.

At this time, the Wang family had already reached the direction of Qianmen Town. Qianmen Town was a large town with nearly a thousand households. If calculated normally, it should be considered a county.

But because everyone in this place has the surname Qian, it is called Qianmen Zhen. After arriving here, the old man did not choose to take his family directly into the town, but instead found an open place nearby and set up camp there.

They were not sure whether it was a right decision to enter the town. If there really was an accident, it would be difficult to escape with so many people in the town. It would be better to stay in this open place for a while.

Wang Shiyu had the same idea as the old man. Because she felt something was wrong, she didn't move or say anything and just listened to what the old man said.

Just when they had rested for a while, because the weather was too hot, the old man called his two sons to start cutting down the dead trees around and built a simple shelter, using four wooden pillars as pillars, and then putting some grass branches and straw on top.

This can avoid direct sunlight and make the room a little cooler. People can't fall asleep because it is too bright. No one can sleep for a long time in such hot weather, so everyone in the family feels a little listless.

The sky was slow to darken, and people who stayed out for too long during the day started to experience all kinds of eye problems. Sometimes they saw double when looking at the road, and they couldn't fall asleep even after closing their eyes, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

Wang Shiyu searched for a long time in the space and finally found a few boxes of unopened eye masks. She took them out and shared them with everyone, because the current sunlight not only hurts people over time, but also makes the body very itchy after being hurt, and the sunburned areas will be covered with small purple bumps.

Even if medicine was used, there was no way to make the sun go away quickly, so Wang Shiyu could only spray all kinds of sunscreen products on everyone frantically and cover them with parasols. However, they would still get sunburned accidentally, so she could only apply some medicine to try to prevent the wound from getting worse.

Fortunately, people of this dynasty did not expose their arms and legs easily because of the saying that their bodies and hair are inherited from their parents, so their sunburned areas were much less likely to be exposed than those of others.

Now they are all wrapped tightly in sun-protection jackets and various sun-protection hats on their heads. They even wear gloves on their hands regardless of the heat for fear of sunburn.

Although it was a little hot, her life was saved and she felt much safer. Wang Shiyu didn't care about the sweat all over her body. After wiping the sweat off, she immediately sprayed sunscreen on. The spray was the biggest plus.

Just as they were sitting in the shelter and chatting, they suddenly heard the sounds of various wild animals running down the mountain.

This place is only about one kilometer away from Qianmen Town, and there is a small hill here, so there are no large wild animals on the hill, just some pheasants and various snakes and insects.

Looking at these things running down the mountain, the old man took his two sons, took the various bows and arrows that Wang Shiyu had contributed from his space, and started catching various pheasants.

And these pheasants seemed to have no intention of hiding away. Even when their brothers and sisters were hunted, they did not stop and continued to run madly towards the plain.

Wang Shiyu and her brother sat there without moving. They were still young and tried not to cause trouble for the adults in the family. Their grandmother took the two daughters-in-law to pick up the prey that the men had shot. You know, these were all meat. At this time, no one cared whether the pheasants were skinny or not, as long as they were full, it was enough.

Wang Shiyu hugged his brother tightly in his arms, not caring whether he was hot or not, for he was worried that these animals might suddenly hurt someone. Then he looked at these running animals, thoughtfully, and for some reason he suddenly remembered some popular science TV programs he watched in modern times.

Generally, when faced with danger, these animals will react more strongly than humans, or will seek a safe place to escape.

He took out a fish tank from his space, and there was a little goldfish swimming in it. The goldfish, which had been kept carefree in the space, suddenly became irritable after being taken out and was swimming, and kept jumping out of the water, as if it wanted to escape from here.

Looking at the goldfish, Wang Shiyu suddenly thought of a possibility, it might be an earthquake.

In this dynasty, it is called an earthquake. Once an earthquake occurs, it will really cause great suffering to all living things! Nowadays, houses are all made of wood and cannot withstand any disturbance. Looking at the direction where the animals ran away, it was close to Qianmen Town, but not in front of it.

When the old man brought everyone back, Wang Shiyu looked at the pheasants in everyone's hands, thought for a long time, and then told everyone her guess.

"Grandpa, we may have to leave here. Just now those animals suddenly started migrating. I think there may be an earthquake."

The family members, who were originally excited because they had shot so many pheasants and a roe deer, were now stunned. They had never experienced an earthquake, but they knew the harm of an earthquake better than anyone else. They had no human power to fight against this natural disaster.

The old man also put down the half-skinned pheasant in his hand and looked silently at the fish tank in front of Wang Shiyu. At this time, the goldfish in the fish tank was still jumping, trying to leave here.

"Xiaoyu is right. Animals tend to avoid danger and move to other places. Now animals are not afraid of humans. They just move to a flat place. It is probably not an earthquake but a disaster. Xiaoyu, put all these things away first. Let's slowly move in the direction of the animal migration to see the situation."

The old man believes that animals' intuition is more accurate than humans', so animals will definitely choose the safest place. As long as they stay around these animals, not too far or too close to them, they will definitely not be affected and will most likely avoid the earthquake.

Wang Shiyu was obedient. They put the pheasants and a silly roe deer that everyone had not yet collected into the space, and took the shed away as well. Then the Wang family did not care about anything else and hurried in the direction of the animal migration.

While running, Wang Shiyu silently looked at the quiet environment of Qianmen Town, thought for a while, and then started shouting.

"The ground is shaking, it's going to shake, everyone, run away, don't stay in the house, get out quickly!!!"

The Wang family who were running, the others looked at Wang Shiyu who was on Wang Yixian's back, thought for a moment, and shouted together

"The ground is shaking, the ground is shaking, the ground is shaking, everyone, run quickly, don't stay in the house, be careful of heavy objects falling."
