Chapter 215: Fleeing Famine with Family (1)
Han Xueqing and the other children were shaken around in the carriage until they were dizzy and dazed. Their stomachs were churning and they felt very uncomfortable.
Slowly the carriage stopped and they arrived at the foot of a barren mountain.
All I saw was a barren mountain standing there, bare and bare, giving people a feeling of depression.
After they ate some dry food and rested for a while, they started on their way again. Most of the refugees they met on the road were just traveling together cautiously.
When I encountered a bad guy with bad intentions, I saw a ferocious old man and his two-meter-long sword, and I immediately didn't dare to have any thoughts.
When they encountered more difficult enemies that could not be scared away, Uncle Ya would use his brute force to carve a bloody path for them.
In this way, under the escort of Uncle Ya, they endured hunger and starvation for a month and finally arrived at a place where the drought was not so serious.
You can dig up wild vegetables here, and Uncle Ya occasionally hunts game.
The government set up a porridge distribution point outside the city, and the refugees lined up in a long queue like a winding snake. They waited patiently just to have a bowl of vegetable porridge and then be arranged to continue moving forward to the wilderness of Lingnan.
If you want to buy food, you can enter the city, but you must pay an entrance fee of 100 copper coins per person. This entrance fee is like a high threshold that blocks the refugees' steps.
Han Xueqing and his group paid one or two taels of silver to enter the city. Food in the city was 20% more expensive than usual, and each person could only buy one liter of corn. They bought some other things and followed the crowd out of the city and began to walk south.
There were government offices distributing porridge along the way, and we could also get food supplies, so the journey ahead was full of hope.
It was not easy for them to arrive in Lingnan, but before they could settle down, Uncle Ya's old injury relapsed and his health deteriorated.
The doctor said that Uncle Ya had several serious injuries and he didn't receive proper treatment at the time. He was lucky to have survived until now. Let them prepare for his funeral.
After Uncle Ya died, several children cried sincerely. Seeing these children so sad, Han Xueqing felt comforted but also sad. She didn't expect that her little help at that time would be rewarded by Uncle Ya.
After all this journey, Uncle Ya is no longer a servant. They are not a family, but they are better than a family!
Uncle Ya is their elder and their benefactor.
Han Xueqing and the children dealt with Uncle Ya's funeral, spent all their money to register their household registration and settled down in Lingnan City.
For the sake of Zhou's three children, she worked day and night on the embroidery.
Those who want to return to their hometown can sign up for arrangements. Han Xueqing wants to go back, but she hasn't heard from her family in Lingnan for so many years. Maybe she can see her parents when she goes back.
A few children were reluctant to do so, saying that it would be safer to go back on the road when they grew up.
Later, Zhou Dalang went back and sold the property deeds of his family, but the money he earned was not enough to cover the round-trip fare. He brought back a message, but he did not see the Han family.
Although Han Xueqing had been mentally prepared for the worst, she still burst into tears. In order to survive, she had to suppress her grief, force herself to continue embroidering.
Due to long hours of embroidery work, she could hardly see clearly before she was forty.
What makes her feel relieved is that her three children have grown up, married and had children, each of them has a good job and leads a happy and fulfilling life.
Although she could no longer see clearly, she still insisted on living alone in order not to burden her children.
Later, when they discussed going to live with their three children, they all rejected her, saying that she was just a concubine who was not worthy of being on the stage and lived an immoral life, and that giving her a place to live and food was the most they could do.
Han Xueqing felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart after hearing these words. She searched her small house but couldn't find the marriage certificate. They came prepared!
