On the way to escape from natural disasters: She went crazy with space

Chongzhou City is surrounded by mountains.

The mountains are undulating and stretching endlessly.

Some are majestic and steep, some are small and exquisite, like green giants or sleeping dragons.

Between the mountains, there are clouds and mist, which looks like a dream or a beautiful painting.

The mountain is covered with dense and lush vegetation, which makes people want to go in and explore at a glance.

Although the mountain road here is rugged, it is not difficult to walk on.

They didn't feel tired even though they were carrying such heavy things down the mountain!

Along the way, they saw many strange plants, some of which looked like giant mushrooms, and some that looked like snakes with wings.

Lu Yuanzheng looked at these plants, his heart full of curiosity, "These plants are so brightly colored and look beautiful, but are they actually poisonous?"

Lu Qingqing took a look at the plants and quickly said with a smile:

"The brightly colored plants are not unique to the mountain. They are likely grown by some animals that ate their fruits. It is also possible that the animals died after eating the fruits, and then the seeds germinated in the same place. However, there are many plants on the mountain that can be used as medicine, but many of them are poisonous, not the common ones we find, so don't touch them."

Lu Yuanzheng nodded. Wang Zhenhang and Wang Zhenyu beside him originally wanted to go and take a look, but after hearing Qingqing's words, they suddenly did not dare to touch these plants easily.

The mountain road was flat and they got down the mountain quickly!

There were three roads branching out in front of her. Lu Qingqing was not very clear about the situation in Chongzhou City, and she did not dare to decide which one to take rashly. She had to look at the map to see where each road led to.

She spread the map on the ground and everyone gathered around to look at it!

Fortunately, the map of Chongzhou City is easy to read and relatively clear.

On the map, the three forked roads actually lead to three different cities!

This shocked them. After all, Chongzhou City has always been poor, and its resources are definitely not as abundant as those in other cities. However, the government of Chongzhou City built three roads leading to different cities. Is this a coincidence, or did the government do it on purpose?

Lu Qingqing looked at the gate of Chongzhou City which was already overgrown with weeds, and everything in the city was in a dilapidated state!

But Lu Qingqing always felt that Chongzhou City was not as simple as it seemed!

It seems that she should take a good look around the city when she has time to see what secrets it has.

"Qingqing, which road should we take?" Liang Pei saw Lu Qingqing staring at the city gate without saying anything. After waiting for a while, he asked.

Lu Qingqing retracted her gaze and looked back at the map, but did not speak. Instead, she asked them:

"Which way do you want to go?"

Lu Yuanzheng looked at the map and said, "How about going to all three places?"

"That's not feasible. There's not enough time to go back and forth."

"Why don't we just go to Cotton City? Autumn is almost here. Let's see if there is any cotton and buy some to make quilts." Seeing that no one could make up their mind, Liang Pei simply made the decision for everyone.

Autumn will arrive next month and winter will soon be here.

Although they had built houses, they had not prepared thick clothes and quilts for the winter.

After listening to Liang Pei's suggestion, several people immediately decided to go to Miancheng to take a look!

Cotton City, as the name suggests, is a place where cotton is produced specifically for making quilts!

But cotton is only one of the characteristics of Cotton City. It also mainly produces kudzu root powder and noodles made from various coarse grains, such as mochi noodles, sweet potato noodles, and corn noodles!

Miancheng is located in the northeast of Chongzhou City.

They took the map and headed towards Miancheng. The scenery along the way was as beautiful as a painting!

But, I didn’t see anyone walking by, or any signs of people living nearby!

We continued walking and found a farmland in front of us, but it was a pity.

The farmland had long been abandoned and was overgrown with weeds. One could vaguely tell from the weeds that peanuts had once been grown on this land.

But now, after the owner of the peanuts took the peanuts away, he never came back again.

Everyone knows why the peanut owner didn't come, and when passing by this deserted peanut field, everyone can't help but feel depressed!

All we saw along the way were abandoned fields, and no signs of human life.

As Lu Qingqing walked, she wondered if Miancheng would become an empty city like Chongzhou City.

This idea was not only shared by Lu Qingqing, but also by the others.

Liang Pei first said: "Miancheng should still have government officials. As long as there are government officials, they will never let Miancheng become an empty city."

Lu Yuanzheng couldn't help but put him on the spot, "What if there is no government?"

Liang Pei tightened the backpack on his back and pointed at Chongzhou City:

"If the government hadn't given in, Miancheng would have become an empty city like Chongzhou City is today."

After a pause, he continued, "Let's speed up and try to reach Miancheng after noon."

It is more than twenty miles from Chongzhou City to Miancheng!

They walked very fast and arrived at the city gate of Miancheng at 15:00 noon!

When I saw the scene inside Cotton City from the door, the fatigue and anxiety from the journey finally slowly faded away.

Unlike the dilapidated Chongzhou City, Miancheng is a prosperous city.

There are shops lining both sides of the street. Although there are not many people, it adds a different kind of charm to this city!

They looked at each other and saw joy and excitement in each other's eyes!

"I haven't seen a living person for a long time. I almost thought I was dreaming just now." Lu Yuanzheng sighed as he looked at the city gate.

The two brothers Wang Zhenhang and Wang Zhenyu, who had been quiet along the way, couldn't help but start chatting.

Wang Zhenhang said: "Luckily I came with you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to feel the excitement of seeing a living person!"

Wang Zhenyu quickly responded, "That's right. Just now on the road, I almost thought that our two families were the only ones living around here."

Wang Zhenyu's words were a bit exaggerated, and Liang Pei couldn't help but interrupt, "The North is so big, we must not be the only ones living there, we just didn't meet each other so soon."

Lu Qingqing stood aside without saying anything, so as not to attract attention and cause trouble.

Today, Lu Qingqing dressed like a man, and asked Yang Liuqing to smear some charcoal ash on her face, covering her originally fair skin and making her look like an ugly boy!

Whenever she arrived at a new place, Lu Qingqing would carefully and cautiously observe the surrounding environment to make sure there were no other abnormalities.

Lu Qingqing then spoke to everyone, "Let's go into the city and take a look first."
