Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down

The Bird's Nest team, well-fed and well-drinking, headed to their new destination full of energy.

When you leave, of course don't forget to take everything with you.

The twins carried the boar's thigh bone, which had been gnawed clean, on their shoulders and took it away.

Mrs. Wu was so confused when she saw this. If she accidentally saw the white thigh bone at night, she would be scared to death.

"Third and fourth brothers, throw that thing away. It's very unlucky." Mrs. Wu advised.

“Mom, this thing is much stronger than a stick.

I want to use it as a weapon and not throw it away."

Lin Hongqing hugged his thigh bone tightly and took two quick steps away from his mother.

Lin Hongshi closed his mouth and followed the young man's pace.

If I were here, I would definitely agree with them.

【He missed his younger sister.】

Wu Chuntao and Wu Chunxiang's eyes lit up. Why didn't they think of this?

The two sisters ran to Uncle Wu and pulled at his clothes.

"Dad, we also want wild boar thigh bones as weapons."

Uncle Wu's forehead was throbbing with veins, wondering what his two daughters were thinking.

How could anyone use a thigh bone as a weapon, especially when it comes to two little girls?

If this gets out, it will scare a lot of people to death. How will I talk about my in-laws' family in the future?

"Dad will get you two sturdy sticks and tie a red scarf on them. It will definitely look good." Uncle Wu coaxed with a smile.

“No, I want the thigh bone.

My twin cousins ​​have them, so we want them too!"

"Dad, isn't there a big wild boar?"

"If you don't agree, we'll go ask my uncle for it."

The twins kept talking to each other and almost made Uncle Wu faint.

In desperation, he had to agree to the twin girls' strange request.

The thigh bone was unexpectedly welcomed by the little ones.

It's super cool to use a thigh bone in each hand as a weapon.

Once it is shown during a fight, it will definitely scare away some timid people.

The Bird's Nest team found a cave to spend the night before dark.

Lin Erzhuang cut the wild boar meat into strips and had someone string them together and roast them over the fire to dry.

The kids spread dry grass in the cleared cave, each family taking their own place as a unit.

The woman cleaned the mushrooms, fungus and wild vegetables she had picked up and roasted them by the fire.

"What we lack most now is knives, followed by pots and pans."

Uncle Wu glanced at the men present and suggested.

“After a flood, food becomes harder to find and plagues are more likely to occur.

What I mean is to stay in the mountains for a few more days, pick up anything edible, and try to dry and store it.

Life outside is getting worse and worse, and I wonder how many more people will become refugees."

The men whispered to each other and agreed with Uncle Wu's opinion.

The flood has not receded, so you can't go far even if you want to.

Besides, no one knows whether the flood will rise further.

"I think we should go further into the mountains. If we can get here, then other refugees can too," Lin Erzhuang suggested.

"Starting tomorrow, I will follow the flood waters to look for my father and two children."

"Brother-in-law, count me in." Uncle Wu looked at him and said.

"Brother, I appreciate your kindness.

The children are still young and need your care."

Lin Erzhuang almost said that he would take his wife and children to find his daughter.

"I also have the responsibility to find my father. No one can stop me." Uncle Wu said stubbornly.

Wu San's aunt Zhao, who was grilling mushrooms nearby, stamped her feet in anxiety when she heard the man's words.

The twins were only eight years old. Without a man to protect them, there was no way for her, a woman, to protect them.

Dad is not just his dad. Besides, Dad got into trouble because of his sister-in-law's family.

Thinking of this, Zhao quickly winked at her two sisters-in-law.

To put it bluntly, none of the three women wanted the man to leave.

No matter how fierce they are, they are still women after all. Without men to protect them, they will be helpless.

“Youcai’s father, if we follow the flood, we can go fishing and find someone.

What if I get lucky one day and run into him?" Aunt Wu Liu said excitedly.

"Thanks to my sister-in-law's good words, I will definitely do it." Lin Erzhuang clasped his hands together and said.

“Okay, that’s settled.

Starting tomorrow, let the brothers Youcai and Youqian take turns to help you find someone." Uncle Wu decided.

What he was most worried about was that Lin Erzhuang would not be able to figure it out and go out alone to look for someone.

Don't cry yourself to death in the twelfth lunar month.

It’s a headache just thinking about it. I sent the children to follow just to keep an eye on Erzhuang.

As night fell, the Bird's Nest team arranged for someone to watch the fire.

Those who were fine returned to the cave to rest.

Everyone slept on the straw mats and felt like they were still on the boat.

...

Hong Da and others who went out hunting didn't see even a single hair of the wild boar.

When they met two wild rabbits on the road, they got into a dispute and started fighting over the rabbits.

Perhaps because they had been holding back on the boat for too long, the fight between two or three people quickly turned into a melee.

When a group of people stood in front of Village Chief Hong with bruised faces and noses, they almost angered him to death.

“You guys…you guys are really great.

Hehehe…Hehehe…

Big brother, take your mother and go."

Village chief Hong was so angry when faced with a group of incompetent villagers that he didn't want to say anything.

Knowing that there would be no benefit in keeping these burdens with me, I might as well get rid of them completely.

My family and I have a better chance of survival in this mountain.

The village is gone, and you are still a crappy village chief.

When the village chief and his family walked into the night, some people realized that no one was caring about them.

"The village chief is gone, what should we do?"

“Hongda, this is all your fault.

I have no hunting skills, but I still want to show off. Now I am in trouble."

"Hong Da, now that the village chief and his family are gone, you have to be responsible for our food."

"Yes, choose Hong Da as the village chief."

……

When Hong Da heard that he was going to be the village chief, he felt a little complacent.

But when the villagers asked him for food, he became completely depressed.

I thought to myself, if he had this ability, why would he bother hanging out with a bunch of villagers?

I might as well just run away in shame when no one was paying attention.

When the villagers found out, they couldn't find even a ghost.

Without the village chief, the villagers suddenly became a mess.

People can argue for a long time over a wild vegetable or a mushroom.

Those who did not leave were so frightened that they trekked away from the people of Hongcun in the dark of night.

I wanted to follow the footsteps of the Bird's Nest team, but lost my way in the darkness and immediately regretted it.

...

Lin Shu collected a black fish weighing more than 20 kilograms. When she was about to throw the rod, it stopped in mid-air and she screamed in surprise.

"Grandpa, there's a raft behind us, look!"

"Where is it, where is it!"

Lin Hongyi and Wu Yidao, upon hearing that there were people of the same kind, hurriedly ran out of the tent.

That eager look was even more enthusiastic than looking at a new daughter-in-law.

"Look, behind." Lin Shu waved happily.

Wu Yidao raised his hand to his brow for a while and whispered.

"My dear grandson, get ready to grab your weapons."

The brother and sister were happy to meet their own kind, but were scared back to reality by the old man's words.

The brother and sister hurriedly put a long machete on their waists, each holding a long bamboo pole in their hands, and stared closely at the drifting raft.

Around the waists of the three men, there was a children's toy and a bulging purse.

He lowered his head slightly, looking ready to go.

The rat in the wet opened its mouth, revealing its two sharp teeth, and rubbed its front paws together and made a squeaking sound.
