The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine
Chapter 8 Going out hunting
Jiang Jinhe shook her head and insisted on going together. Song Wenqin had no choice but to agree.
In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, the two of them quietly returned to the place where they had been before, fetched a lot of water, and picked up many wooden hedgehogs along the way. They processed the thorns on the outside on the spot and picked up a bunch to take home.
They didn't return until dawn.
Song Yuyu didn't sleep all night. When the two came back, she mustered up the courage to say:
"Third sister-in-law, can I follow you from now on?"
Jiang Jinhe glanced at her doubtfully.
Finally, he nodded in response to Song Yuyu's expectant eyes.
"Okay, but I might have to endure some hardship."
"I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm not afraid of hardship, as long as I can follow my third sister-in-law and third brother."
Song Yuyu responded happily.
"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law and Third Brother!"
Song Wenqin followed behind, without saying a word, just nodded slightly.
Song Yuyu's eyes turned red, and she felt that her future seemed to have a glimmer of light and support.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the village chief organized everyone to go out to find food.
"It's cool in the morning, so maybe some animals will leave their dens and look for something to eat. Let's see if we can catch a few! We can satisfy our cravings and have some meat!"
The village chief said a few more inspiring words and then led everyone out.
When talking about hunting, everyone's eyes turned to Song Wenqin.
In the entire Ayuan Village, only Song Wenqin has the ability to hunt.
A large group of people set off in a mighty procession.
They still planned to go to the place where they caught voles yesterday, and wanted to expand the search range nearby to see if they could find some more food.
After all, there are so many voles here, which means that this area can support a lot of animals, and there may be other gains.
But we haven’t reached the destination yet.
Some people can't stand it.
"Oh my God, how can I live like this? What's the point of living?"
The man cried and shouted, and the team immediately buzzed with discussions.
"Yeah, it's really boring to live like this."
"I suffer every day! I'd rather die sooner rather than later. Maybe I'll be reborn into a wealthy family in my next life, where I can at least have enough to eat!"
The village chief quickly spoke to comfort him:
"Seventh Brother, what are you talking about? We must have confidence. The court will definitely come to rescue us."
The village chief has repeated this countless times.
No one reacted to this anymore.
"Village Chief, we've been waiting for so long, and there's been no movement from the court! It's been five years!"
"Yes, five years have passed. If the imperial court really wanted to rescue us, they would have sent someone long ago, but we haven't even seen a single official!"
After hearing this, Jiang Jinhe hurriedly searched the original owner's memories in his mind, but he really didn't find any information at all.
While everyone was talking around the village chief.
Jiang Jinhe pulled Song Wenqin away from the crowd and whispered to him:
"Boss, is this really the case?"
Song Wenqin nodded silently.
His expression couldn't be seen on his dusty face, but Jiang Jinhe could sense that his gaze was so cold that it made people feel scared.
"So, the imperial court probably won't care about us anymore. We need to be mentally prepared to live like this for a long time."
Song Wenqin looked down at the arm that was held in the woman's arms, and at this moment Jiang Jinhe's voice came to his ears again.
"Don't worry, as long as I can find something to eat, I will be able to make delicious food. I will never let you live a boring life."
Jiang Jinhe said this with a smile, his eyes full of pride, and he was not too pessimistic about the future.
After all, her man is quite capable, so even if they continue to flee, their life will not be too difficult.
"But, Boss, where should we go next?"
Jiang Jinhe is not familiar with the Great Xia Kingdom.
He knew no more than anyone else in the village.
But deep down, I had a feeling that Song Wenqin should know something.
Song Wenqin pondered for a moment and said:
"If nothing unexpected happens, this is the road to Huicheng. The nearest town is there."
Jiang Jinhe listened to the unfamiliar place names and was once again convinced that this was not the China she was familiar with.
While the two were whispering, the village chief had already calmed down the villagers.
Although everyone was tired, they forced themselves to look for food.
Unfortunately, my luck was really bad today and I couldn’t even find a stutterer.
Those who really couldn't make ends meet at home also imitated Jiang Jinhe and picked up some wooden hedgehogs to take home as a backup. After all, suffering is better than starving to death.
When they returned to the village, it was still early, so the village chief led everyone to set off towards the nearest Huizhou.
Huizhou was indeed not far from them. After walking for a whole day, they could see Huizhou City from afar at dusk.
"arrive!"
"Great! We've reached Huizhou City! We have hope!"
Faced with the villagers' excitement, the village chief and three or four people who saw the situation clearly from a distance could not laugh.
The city walls were crowded with refugees, but the city gates were closed. This scene made everyone feel heavy-hearted.
"Everyone, take a break here first. I'll take some people up there to investigate the situation."
At the command of the village chief, everyone immediately sat down. They had been walking for a whole day and had only eaten something in a hurry. Now they were all exhausted.
But no one took the initiative to go and find out the news.
The village chief assigned a few people, and they followed with unhappy looks on their faces.
"Let's go and have a look too."
Jiang Jinhe and Song Wenqin exchanged glances and followed the team together.
As soon as I approached the group of refugees, I heard someone shouting in front of me.
The village chief and others did not push forward and just stood in the outer circle.
"Let the county magistrate come out to see us!"
"Why won't you let us in?"
"Yes, come out, come out!"
Just as I heard a few words clearly, there was a commotion in front.
Jiang Jinhe vaguely heard a few shrill screams, and then the refugees in front all rushed to the back.
Although these people all have sallow complexions and are thin and weak.
But when so many people work together, the power is amazing.
Song Wenqin stood in front of Jiang Jinhe, protecting her from the crowd and helping her retreat steadily.
When the crowd dispersed, they could see clearly that there were many bodies lying on the open space in front of them.
There were actually several soldiers among them.
Of course, there are more refugees.
Jiang Jinhe had just taken a glance when Song Wenqin pulled him back.
Jiang Jinhe was concentrating on the situation over there and didn't notice the heavy look on Song Wenqin's face.
She pulled Song Wenqin's arm.
Song Wenqin squatted down as he was told and put his ear close.
Jiang Jinhe leaned close to his ear and said:
"It seems we can't get through here. How about we take a detour and go to Yecheng to have a look?"
Along the way, I heard them talking about nearby cities, and Yecheng was everyone's second choice.
A warm breath brushed past Song Wenqin's ears. This unfamiliar feeling made his whole body tense up and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Song Wenqin stood up suddenly, his messy hair covering his slightly red ears, but Jiang Jinhe didn't notice anything unusual.
Song Wenqin looked up into the distance, then nodded.
"Well, that's what I meant."
