Chapter 57 The Famine Escape (9)

Jiang Xun and the old man didn't dare to go far, so they could only walk around the ruined temple. After searching for a long time, they couldn't find anything, and the ground was covered with white snowflakes.

The two also knew that there was little chance of finding food outside, so they went back after searching for a while.

The next day, Jiang Xun pinched some rice with his fingers and put it in the pot to cook two bowls of rice soup that couldn't be thinner.

Immediately, some were served for the old man to feed the baby. The old man had nothing on him except two pieces of Guanyin soil mixed with wild vegetables. Such a small newborn would definitely die if he ate this kind of cake.

Tears flashed in the old man's eyes, and he turned around quietly and secretly wiped away the tears with his hands, then carefully picked up the eldest grandson, and fed the hard-earned gruel to the eldest grandson bit by bit.

Jiang Xun filled half a bowl of rice soup for Meizi and a few children, and shared a piece of compressed biscuit. The food was getting less and less, and the weather in the past two days was not good, and there might be heavy snowfall.

Jiang Xun couldn't help feeling a little worried. If there was no food supplement, they might be hungry in a few days.

"Uncle, do you know what's going on in the city?" Jiang Xun looked at the old man. The old man was a landlord before and knew a lot.

"Hey, big brother, I think that, you'd better not bring your sister-in-law into the city. Now the city is controlled by little devils. Those little devils do everything from burning, killing and looting. Let them get a chance, even young girls Anyone who is pregnant with Liujia will not be spared." After finishing speaking, the old man glanced at Meizi secretly.

Jiang Xun understood the meaning of the old man. If the plum looks like a sign, if the little devil sees it, he will inevitably have some thoughts, and the city is the base camp of the little devil. No matter how powerful he is, he is nothing more than a single person. At that time, no one will help him.

At this time, the old man said again: "Besides, this city is not easy to enter. Not only do you have to pay the city fee, but also the interrogation is very strict. If anyone suspected of being a revolutionary army is found, they will be shot on the spot."

What the old man said was true, but Jiang Xun did not give up. When he was in the base area, there was no anti-fetal medicine in it. Jiang Xun managed to gather some medicinal materials, but now they are all used up, and Meizi’s condition is indeed not very good. Even if it hadn't happened, the child probably wouldn't have been born.

And there are regular hospitals at least in the city, and there are some pharmacies at worst. The little devil takes some western medicines seriously, but Chinese medicines are not so strict.

Jiang Xun looked at the iron pot on the ground and didn't know what he thought of. Then he used a knife to scrape off the ashes on the back of the pot.

The black pot ash fell on the ground, and Jiang Xun reached out and wiped the pot ash on Meizi's face. In troubled times, a woman's appearance is also a disaster.

There were some traces of dust on Meizi's face, but Jiang Xun didn't let her wash it off, but she tidied up her hair a little bit, so she could see a little bit of beauty, this time Jiang Xun smeared the pot ash on Meizi's face, He wiped some incense ash from the temple platform to make the pot ashes on his face less obvious, and finally grabbed Meizi's hair in a mess. After Jiang Xun's tossing, Meizi became a weather-beaten and sloppy ugly A woman, but looking unobtrusive.

If you directly smear pot ashes on your face, and your face is pitch black, then anyone who sees it will have a problem. The little devil is not a fool. Looking at your face with pot ashes, it would be strange not to doubt it. Maybe it’s just a revolution. The army was arrested.

As for the three girls, after the famine, they were already dark and thin, and no one would take notice of them.

"Big Brother, are you planning to enter the city?" The old man asked after seeing Jiang Xun's tossing.

Jiang Xun nodded and said, "Well, I want to buy some medicine for Meizi, and my daughter-in-law is pregnant and always needs to supplement some nutrition."

The old man was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Brother, the county town has already been taken over by little devils, it is not easy to enter the city, and it is even more difficult to get out of the city, otherwise I would have brought my grandson into the city long ago, you , don't do stupid things, that little devil has caused us such misery."

Jiang Xun smiled and shook his head when he heard the words: "Uncle, you misunderstood, I'm not going to join the little devil, I'm courting death, I'm not stupid if the little devil doesn't treat us as human beings."

"Uncle, are you a revolutionary army?" Jiang Xun asked tentatively again.

The old man froze for a moment, his expression suddenly became sad, and he choked up and said: "I used to be a landlord, but then the little devils invaded, and my son threw himself into the cause of the revolutionary army without thinking about his own life, leaving me, my wife and my daughter-in-law behind, and then there was a famine. Our family’s food has been robbed, my wife starved to death, my daughter-in-law also died after giving birth to a grandson, woo woo... my ten acres of land have been accumulated from generation to generation, and I have never treated anyone harshly in the village , How, how did it become like this."

The old man covered his face and sobbed and began to cry. There should be resentment in his heart, but who should he resent, he didn’t know. If the little devil didn’t invade, maybe there would be no such things, so in the end, he was still a little devil wrong.

Jiang Xun pursed his lips and hesitated. Admittedly, it might be difficult to take Meizi and others into the city. After all, it was the enemy's garrison. If he was not careful, his life would be lost. But he was worried about letting Meizi stay. This Everywhere is unsafe.

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Xun finally made a decision that he would not go to the city for the time being, and he would go alone, and Meizi could not be put in danger.

Even if she spends more time, she can't take any risks. She is about to be promoted. If the mission fails at this time, not only will she not be able to upgrade, but the man in the suit will not let her go. There will be no man in silver robe to save her at that time. .

In the evening, the old man went out to look for food again. Even some grass roots would be good, so he couldn't starve to death.

Jiang Xun stayed in the ruined temple thinking about what was going to happen next. After about an hour, the old man still hadn't come back. Jiang Xun frowned. He was about to go out and have a look, but saw the old man walking in with a smile.

"Big brother, look what I found!"

I saw that the old man was carrying a white-haired rabbit and a big finger-thick snake about half a meter long.

The rabbit was estimated to weigh two catties, its body was already stiff, and the snake's head was also smashed.

"Haha, big brother, I have to say that today's luck is really good. First, I found a snake hole. The snake was hibernating, and I smashed it to death with a stick. Later, I saw this rabbit, which froze to death in a tree. next to the root."

Jiang Xun glanced at the rabbit and snake in the old man's hand.Just when he was about to speak, the old man suddenly said again: "Brother, do you think this is possible? I, can I exchange this rabbit for some rice with you, my eldest grandson..."

"Uncle, I was just about to tell you that my daughter-in-law is pregnant and I don't know where to supplement her nutrition, but I don't have much rice here." Jiang Xun said and took out all the rice. About half a catty.

The old man quickly took it: "Big brother, Mi Ke is precious at this time, in the final analysis I still take advantage of it."
