Quickly wear in the small world while eating melons

After listening to Bai Yin's words, Bai Hongguo felt like he was like the emperor who was not anxious while the eunuchs were. So he gradually stopped caring about the matter and just paid attention to whether they had any movements from time to time.

In the following few days, the weather became hotter and hotter, and several people in the team fainted every day. Fortunately, Doctor Lin treated them in time, so nothing serious happened.

Every time Doctor Lin saved someone, he would bring Baiyin and Lin Hao with him, and he would not forget to teach them after saving them.

Because they had to walk so much every day, gradually everyone couldn't hold on any longer. Many people in the team were envious when they saw the Bai family's two mule carts.

Bai Erhe's family was foresighted. This mule cart can not only hold so many things, but also carry people. Bai Erhe's family is much more relaxed than them.

At first, when everyone saw the Bai family buy a mule cart, they scolded them for being a spendthrift. But now that they have experienced the hardship, they are all envious.

There were even some shameless people who wanted to ride on their mule cart, but they were all scolded away by Lin Sanni.

Bah, what a thing, you want to ride in their mule cart, how dare you! You know, she only rides in the mule cart when she is too tired, and usually walks by herself. You actually want to ride in the mule cart, I think you are just dreaming.

Because Baiyin's family's mule cart was loaded with so many things, there wasn't much space left for sitting. Usually, it was reserved for the two little kids, Tuantuan and Silang. Others would only get on the cart and sit when they were extremely tired.

Therefore, those who came here with such shameless intent to ride in the mule cart were scolded back by Lin Sanni one by one. Even their own family members couldn't get seats, so how could they give seats to others?

After walking for several days, they began to meet other refugees on the road, but they were all scattered and they had never seen a group as large as theirs.

When those people saw so many of them, they didn't dare to come up and provoke them. Not only did they not dare to provoke them, they also avoided them, for fear that they would notice them.

On this day, when the team was taking a break, they met a grandfather and grandson. They were walking on the road, supporting each other. Both of them were so hungry that their bones were visible, and they were tanned so badly that it was impossible to tell what they looked like. The village chief sent someone out to inquire about the news, and the person was Bai Xiaohu.

After receiving the instructions, Bai Xiaohu walked towards the grandfather and grandson. However, when the two men saw Bai Xiaohu walking towards them, they moved aside and did not dare to look at him at all.

But when he found that Bai Xiaohu was still walking towards them, the grandfather quickly pulled his grandson to his knees and begged for mercy: "Grandpa, please spare us. We have nothing left. Please spare us."

Grandpa said so, and the grandson also shouted.

When Bai Xiaohu saw the two men like this, he quickly stepped forward and pulled them up, saying, "Old man, hurry up, get up! I can't bear such a big gift from you."

The grandfather and grandson didn't want to get up at first, but Bai Xiaohu was so strong that he pulled them up.

Bai Xiaohu looked at the two men and quickly stated his attitude, "Old man, please stop kneeling before me. I'm not a bad person. I just came here to ask some questions."

After listening to Bai Xiaohu's explanation and seeing that he was gentle, the old man felt relieved and stopped kneeling. He said respectfully, "Don't be offended, sir. I'm just used to it on the road. I misunderstood for a moment. Please don't be offended."

The old man apologized repeatedly.

In fact, the old man was frightened when he saw him coming out of such a large group and rushing towards them. Moreover, he had encountered countless robberies along the way. He was just lucky to be able to bring his grandson here.

The old man then said, "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask."

Although Bai Xiaohu stated that he was not a bad person, the old man still did not dare to be careless. After all, there were so many of them and he only had himself and his little grandson, and they were both old and young, so they had to be careful.

Bai Xiaohu always felt awkward when he heard the old man call him "Uncle", so he said to the old man: "Don't call me Uncle, just call me Xiaohu."

Although the old man repeatedly said that he didn't dare, he still couldn't persuade Bai Xiaohu and started calling him Xiaohu.

Seeing that the old man accepted it, Bai Xiaohu asked, "Uncle, where are you from?" This uncle is not that uncle.

Although the old man accepted Bai Xiaohu's question, he was afraid that he could not answer it. After hearing Bai Xiaohu's question, he breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "We are from Baohua County, Chongzhou, which is next to Linzhou."

Bai Xiaohu was moved when he heard this and asked, "Why did you come here, uncle? Did you suffer a disaster?"

When the old man heard Bai Xiaohu's question, he looked sad and said to Bai Xiaohu, "We suffered from drought there. People just couldn't survive anymore, so they ran away to escape the famine."

Thinking of this, he continued to say to Bai Xiaohu with a look of deep pain, "Our family ran away, leaving only me and my little grandson. My wife, my son, my daughter-in-law, and my granddaughter are all gone, all gone."

At this point, the old man burst into tears, but because he hadn't had water for a long time, his tears were not many.

Bai Xiaohu was also very sad when he heard this, and he didn't know how to comfort them. At the same time, he was very glad that they had taken the whole village away without hesitation, otherwise their family might have ended up like this.

When the old man calmed down a little, Bai Xiaohu asked, "Uncle, is the drought serious where you are?"

"Serious, of course it is serious. I've lived for decades and have never encountered such a severe drought." The old man paused for a moment and then said, "The river is gone, the food is gone, and there is no water anywhere. Countless people in the village have died of starvation, thirst, and heat. No one can survive. In the end, those who are still alive have fled the famine."

After listening to the old man's description, Bai Xiaohu felt that the drought there was even more serious than here.

He was very worried now. He originally thought that the drought was only in their state, but he didn't expect that the situation in Chongzhou next door was even worse than theirs. They had wanted to go to Chongzhou to check the situation, but now that they knew about this, they couldn't stay in Chongzhou. However, they had to continue to go north, and Chongzhou was the only way to go. They would definitely run into many people fleeing famine.

All these thoughts went through Bai Xiaohu's mind, but he didn't have time to think about them now, so he asked, "Uncle, you said before that you were used to the road, are there many robberies along the way?"

Hearing this question, the old man seemed to think of what he had seen along the way. He trembled with fear, and then said to Bai Xiaohu: "Yes, there are many people robbing on the road, especially those with a lot of people, who specifically target those with fewer people. That's why I was so scared when I saw you walking towards us earlier."

Then he pursed his lips again and continued: "Robbery is fine, some even kill people."

Bai Xiaohu saw the old man talking about this situation and it was obvious that he had seen and experienced it with his own eyes.
