After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

The sky in the east gradually turned pale, and a group of people were walking towards us from afar. The sky was still a little dim, so we couldn't see their faces clearly.

"Mom, is grandpa here?" Ye Qing looked at Zhou who was busy. He said, "I wonder how my aunt's family is doing. My aunt's family is nearby, why hasn't she come yet?"

Mrs. Li was also a little anxious. "Your aunt's family is also a big family, and it will take them a long time to clean up. Wait for them. It's not even morning yet."

As the crowd slowly approached, Ye Qing also saw that the one walking in front was his uncle. "My uncle is coming, my uncle is coming." Ye Qing hurried over to greet him.

"Uncle, are you all okay? Are grandpa and grandma okay?" Ye Qing asked anxiously.

"Everything is fine. How is Qingya's family? We were on the road when the earth torrent came up last night and we escaped." My uncle looked relieved.

"Qingya, is that Qingya?" Another shout came from a distance.

Qing Ya looked carefully and saw that her aunt and her family had also come over. At this time, other people in the family also came over to greet them. For a moment, the village became lively and people were greeting each other.

Breakfast was ready, brown rice porridge with rabbit and chicken. "Mom, it's time to eat. After we finish eating, we can go out early and walk a little further while it's still cool." Second Aunt Shen called out.

"Come on, come on, relatives, sit down and have something to eat." Old Man Ye greeted the Zhou family and his youngest daughter's family.

Several families sat together and had a lively meal. After breakfast, Li urged everyone to clean up the stove and move the remaining food, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to the car.

The three brothers of the Ye family each pushed a cart filled with food and luggage. The three older grandsons also pushed a wheelbarrow each, which was filled with pots, pans, and other things that could be used at any time. It was also prepared for anyone who got tired to sit on it for a while.

Ye Qing didn't have any luggage in his hands, but he didn't sit in the car either. He took advantage of his energy now and walked a little further.

The slingshot was placed in the pocket, with the stones picked up inside. Everyone was given a sharpened stick to use for self-defense, and the sickle and hatchet were also placed within reach so that they could pick them up and use them if they encountered any problems along the way.

As soon as the hour of Mao arrived, the sound of gongs rang out, and with a call from the head of the village, everyone started their journey.

"Let's go!" Old Man Ye took one last look at the village, then turned around and told everyone to set off. In this world, if you leave, you may never come back.

Everyone wiped their tears and silently followed the team in front, and their escape began.

It was already dawn and the sky was getting light. No one was talking in the team. We decided to travel as fast as possible while it was still cool. We would stop at noon and continue our journey until the hottest time was over.

"Qingya, are you tired? If you are tired, get in the car and let your brother push you." Zhou touched her little daughter's head and expressed concern.

Ye Qing listened to her mother's caring words, and her worries were relieved a lot. She said in a soft voice: "Mom, I can still walk. My brother is already tired enough. I can still walk for a while."

Zhou lifted the bag up and continued walking forward with Ye Qing.

After walking from early morning to noon, the villagers saw the official road in the distance. The village head quickly arranged for everyone to stop and rest, and the women also hurried to cook, so that they could take a nap after eating breakfast.

Ye Qing couldn't stand the heat, her face flushed and she gasped for breath, and she sat down on the ground. Zhou felt so distressed that she quickly took a palm leaf fan to fan her.

After resting for almost an hour, Zhou pushed the sleeping Ye Qing and said, "Qingya, wake up. Mommy will take you to the bathroom." Qingya felt that she had just closed her eyes and opened them again. She rubbed her eyes and went to the small woods next to her with her sisters to go to the bathroom.

They quickly packed up and started on their way. When they got to the official road, they found that the drought in the north was more serious. They had started fleeing the famine a month ago. The village was far from the official road, so the villagers didn't notice anything.

There were quite a few refugees on the road at this time, some in groups of three or five, some with their families, and some as a whole village going out together.

People lying on the roadside can be seen everywhere. Some of them can no longer walk and just lie down on the roadside to rest. Some of them lie there silently, and no one knows whether they are dead or alive.

Now and then you can still find some grass roots and tree bark on the roadside, so there has been no scene of cannibalism.

But the people in the village close to the mountain had never seen such a scene. Their village was close to the mountain and the water. Although they had suffered a disaster during this period, they also had food bought from the previous village. Only a few elderly people were reluctant to eat and drink in order to save some food, and because of the hot weather, they left. The villagers also felt uncomfortable for a while.

Seeing the corpses on the roadside, Ye Qing was even more frightened. In the past, she didn't even dare to kill fish and always asked the fishmonger to clean them up before taking them back.

Ye Qing also knew that the people in this world were suffering, and she could do nothing now. Ye Qing secretly decided that she must cultivate high-yield crops in the future and try not to let such famines happen again.

In addition to these, there were some men with fierce looks on the roadside, sizing up the passers-by, seemingly looking for someone alone to attack.

There are several hundred people in Kaoshan Village, and the neatly-organized convoy is quite shocking. These vicious people dare not attack such a village that sticks together.

There were also some women and children who came to beg for food in rags. The villagers had been warned not to be soft-hearted and not to be kind-hearted and bring trouble to the villagers.

Now is not the time to show off your wealth. Even though there are many people in the village, they cannot stop these hungry refugees. The people at home are the most important.

Old Man Ye and Mrs. Li were also a little overwhelmed. Although they often went to work in the fields, they had never walked for such a long time like this.

Ye Qing's face was covered in sweat, and his hair was a mess. Ye Qing fell on the road, and his clothes were covered in mud. His lips were pale, and his tired eyes were dull and lifeless.

Zhou looked at Ye Qing with a distressed look on her face, "Qing, you must be tired. Sit on my cart and let me push you." Then she carried Ye Qing to the cart.

Ye Qing lay on the unicycle, feeling sore in both legs. After taking off his shoes, he found two blisters on the soles of his feet, and he didn't even want to lift his arms.

Ye Qing kept trying to recall whether there was any way to make his legs feel more comfortable, and he regretted not watching more wilderness survival programs.

The car was shaking, Ye Qing's breathing gradually became shallower, and his thinking was also slowing down. Just before he was about to fall asleep, a scene of the Long March suddenly flashed into his mind, and Ye Qing suddenly became alert.

Yes, when I was watching TV, I saw many people tying their legs with ropes. In the Shaolin Temple movie, the monks also tied their legs. At that time, I specifically discussed the role of leg binding with my friends. First, it can prevent insects and ants, and second, it can increase blood circulation in the legs and reduce soreness.

Although Ye Qing wanted to quickly tell everyone about the benefits of leg wraps, he was too tired. He fell asleep with this idea still lingering in his mind.
