Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong
Chapter 405: The Miserable "Rations" on the Road to Escape
However, the Sun family almost went to bed hungry that night.
It was because Old Madam Sun and Sun Zhengzhi were old and were the heads of the Sun family, so they naturally could not lower their status and go out to find food. They could only sit there and wait for people to serve them.
Madam Sun Da, Madam Sun Er and a group of younger generations each had their own thoughts.
As a result, even if many people went out to find food and drink, the amount of wild vegetables and grains that could be handed over to the public was pitifully small. In addition, there was no drinking water, so in the end, each person could only get a few mouthfuls of cooked wild vegetable paste.
When Sun Yaozu was sleeping at night, his stomach kept rumbling.
"mother,"
He pulled Madam Sun's sleeve and said coquettishly:
"I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat... Mom is the best, go find some meat for me!"
Madam Sun sighed:
"Yaozu, it's not that Mom doesn't love you. You've seen what the situation is like at home and outside."
"It's already good enough for us to have a bite of wild vegetable porridge. It looks like we may not even be able to eat porridge tomorrow. If we want to eat meat, we'd better wait until later, ah~"
Sun Yaozu has always been spoiled, how could he give up so easily?
"Mom, I don't want to, I don't want to. I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!"
If Madam Sun couldn't find him meat, why would he call her mother? In order to live a better life, he paid the price of offending his own mother.
So Sun Yaozu naturally refused to give in and immediately lay on the ground crying and making a fuss.
Mrs. Sun Zai had a headache. But it was already dark, and she was hungry. What else could she do?
"Alas, this is not going to work."
Sun Zhengzhi listened attentively for a long time and sighed deeply: "Old woman, what do you think of our life?"
Old Madam Sun was so hungry she couldn't sleep. She was already worried, but she couldn't openly scold the Sun family's only precious child. Without even opening her eyes, she replied:
"In this situation, who isn't forced to live? Wanting to eat meat is wishful thinking. In my opinion, cannibalism is more appropriate!"
Sun Zhengzhi was stunned when he heard this and stopped talking immediately.
"Eating human flesh?" Sun Yaozu, who was crying, felt a chill on his back and inexplicably stopped talking.
The next day, many people got up early at dawn.
The main purpose was to investigate the situation and find some food. The Sun family had been making a fuss last night and had gotten up late, so the edible and useful things that had floated down from the river at night had already been snatched up by others.
Fortunately, the flood level seemed to have receded a bit and showed no signs of spreading further towards the woods.
For now, they seem to be truly safe.
Several families, whether they knew each other or not, ate something as breakfast, and then gathered in groups of three or four to discuss countermeasures and find ways to survive.
After discussing this, they both had a clear idea of what was going on. A few of these people were residents of nearby villages and towns, while most were fleeing from all directions. Exiles like the Sun family passing through here were extremely rare.
Of course, Sun Zhengzhi was not stupid either. Last night he told the Sun family not to tell anyone about their situation when they went out, and just say that they were passing by here while fleeing and were washed here by the flood.
Sun Zhengzhi, after all, had served as the Minister of Revenue, so he was quite experienced in dealing with people. It didn't take long for him to get to know a few people and quickly decided where the Sun family would go from now on.
Xinyang City.
The city of Xinyang, located near the southeastern border of the Wuyue Kingdom, was the fief of the current emperor's uncle, the King of Xinyang.
Prince Xinyang was the youngest son of the previous emperor's favorite concubine in his later years. To ensure a prosperous and stable future for his son, the emperor granted him a fiefdom and sent him far away when he was just 13 years old.
By the way, he also sent his beloved concubine over.
He even gave them an armored army as a defensive force. The old emperor truly loved the mother and son and was very considerate of them.
Despite the constant natural disasters in Wubie Country over the years, Xinyang City has been blessed with good weather and has not been affected at all. Consequently, large numbers of disaster victims from all over the country have flocked there over the years.
It is said that the King of Xinyang welcomed everyone who came, so the city of Xinyang expanded again and again.
The current emperor is helpless.
So Sun Zhengzhi decided to follow those families who had already decided to go to Xinyang and go to Xinyang City!
A morning passed, and soon a new group of refugees was formed.
Of course, this also includes Qu Xiaoxiao.
However, Qu Xiaoxiao did not discuss this with anyone. She used her spiritual sense to detect the Sun family's movements and forced herself to join in. The Sun family could not do anything to her.
I don't know what was going on, but when Sun Zhengzhi was explaining to others about the carriage that was following them not too far away, he said:
"This is the granddaughter of the Sun family. She has been a bit of a loner since she was little, so she doesn't travel with her family."
After hearing this, others looked at the carriage with somewhat complicated expressions.
My elderly grandparents were still struggling to walk, and as a young person, I was enjoying the good life alone, which seemed a bit unfilial. However, we were all new refugees, so it was difficult to talk too much about each other's family affairs.
After hearing this, he just smiled and changed the subject.
Qu Xiaoxiao noticed that there was a family with the surname Song, which was also from a wealthy family. The young couple in this family had two siblings, a daughter named Song Yanran and a younger son named Song Rensheng.
Aren’t these the names that the male and female protagonists later changed to?
It seems that this family was doomed to die. Otherwise, the Sun family would not have been able to successfully replace their identities. However, it is unknown how they died.
Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly came up with an idea.
If she had saved these people's lives, she would have wondered how the Sun family would change their names in the future. Humph!
Just do it.
So when this newly formed group of refugees took a break, Qu Xiaoxiao followed the young woman from the Song family who was picking wild vegetables.
"Little girl, do you have something to ask me?"
Mrs. Song Liu is a very gentle-looking woman, not at all like Sun Wanru. I don’t know how Sun Wanru succeeded in impersonating her in the plot.
"Well, that's right"
Qu Xiaoxiao made up a story on the spot: "I'm actually very good at finding wild vegetables, but I've severed ties with my family, and my fiancé isn't in good health. It's always a little unsafe for me to go out alone."
"I see so many people here, and you, Madam, are the most friendly, so I'd like to have some company. In return, I can take you along to pick wild vegetables, is that okay?"
"Of course, it's no big deal, you're so polite, little girl."
Mrs. Song Liu smiled when she heard this, revealing a row of beautiful teeth:
"In this way, you don't have to take me to dig wild vegetables. Anyway, wherever you want to go, I will go with you to give you courage."
Mrs. Sun Liu felt that this little girl was not at all as withdrawn as the Sun family said. Instead, she was very pretty and likable, and spoke sincerely.
