It turned out that this group of people were nearby villagers who came to buy food.

Seeing that the Zhang family had a lot of luggage and only had white flour to eat, they guessed that they must have some food reserves, so they thought about whether they could buy some food.

They have been trapped here by the flood for almost half a month, and the food they brought earlier is almost gone.

If it hadn't been for some wild vegetables that popped up on the ground after the rain, they would have starved to death.

One meal a day is mixed with wild vegetable pancakes, which is quite manageable.

"We have eaten most of the food now, and we still have to save it for the journey. But we do have some bacon. Do you want to buy it?"

Old man Zhang felt a little pity when he saw these elderly people with children. Although they were well dressed, they were all skinny and pale-looking.

What he said was true. There were many of them. Although they brought a lot of food with them on the road, after more than two months of walking, there was really not much food left.

And they had smoked so much meat that they couldn't finish it at once, and now it was very moist, so they were afraid they wouldn't be able to keep it.

The leader was a village chief who spoke kindly: "We will buy whatever food you have."

Old Man Zhang asked his grandsons to take out the bacon, leaving only half of it.

Zhang Shuchuan and Xia Yunrou used to go hunting every day and could always bring back several game animals.

They couldn't finish the food, so they smoked the meat.

It was smoked and smoked, and it turned out to be piled up like a hill.

The villagers swallowed hard when they saw the piles of bacon.

The village chief took out an ingot of gold from his arms, handed it to Old Man Zhang and said: "If it were a peaceful year, there would be no need to buy this meat, but this is a famine year, and it is not easy for everyone. I hope you don't dislike it, brother. "

Old man Zhang took it calmly and said with a smile: "How can you dislike it! Just move it."

The two chatted for a while, and then the village chief led a group of people to move the bacon away.

It turns out that this village is called Chengyuan Village, and they all have the same surname: Cheng. Their ancestors once produced second-rank ministers.

Although it has declined now, there are still people from the clan serving as officials.

It's just that the severe drought has just passed, and floods have come again. They are trapped here, and no one passes by on this road.

Therefore, the people in Chaozhong still don’t know their situation.

The village chief was overjoyed when he found out that the Zhang family was going to the capital. He took out a piece of gold and handed it to Old Man Zhang, asking him to give his grandson a ride.

Old man Zhang felt good about the village chief, so he asked everyone in the Zhang family for their opinions. When everyone said they wanted him to make the decision, he agreed.

The grandson of the village chief, Cheng Muqing, was about the same age as Zhang Shuyuan. He was a down-to-earth and polite man, and he quickly got to play with a few teenagers.

Soon after everyone finished eating, they were about to set off.

Cheng Muqing reluctantly waved to the village chief and his tribe, tears welling up in his eyes.

He squeezed the letter in his hand and placed it carefully in his arms.

When everyone saw me, they didn’t ask any questions.

The rain is still falling.

They rested on the boat at night, huddled together, and after a few days, they got used to it.

As for Zhang Shuchuan and Xia Yunrou, they occupied a small boat with Xiao Yunqi and Xiao Wanyi, and they were much more relaxed than the others.

The two of them also bought two fishing poles made of bamboo. When they are in the mood, they can catch a few fish and simply cook some fish soup.

Others were not so lucky. At the end of the day, there was not even a fish in sight.

Everyone still enjoys fishing.

It's a pity that there are too few fishing rods.

There are so many of them, not enough fish.

Seeing this, Xia Yunrou would not take out the fishing rod again. If she took too much, she would not be noticed.

After all, several of these people are not Zhang family members.

Cheng Muqing has become familiar with everyone in the Zhang family in the past two days.

He can eat whatever the Zhang family eats, and he is not isolated.

This is all thanks to Old Man Zhang. After all, he received a piece of gold from someone else.

Therefore, his attitude towards Cheng Muqing was the same as that of his grandson. When everyone saw this, they all felt the same as Old Man Zhang.

The farther south their ship went, the less calm the water became.

The water flows along the south, so they don't need to paddle, the boat can be pushed by the water.

At first, they were very happy and felt that they were saving effort.

But the further south they went, the more they realized something was wrong.

The current became more and more turbulent, and their boat was as fast as an arrow off the string.

"Quick! Tie the boats together!"

Xia Yunrou suddenly felt something bad and threw the rope in her hand forward and backward.

Everyone grabbed the rope and tied it to the bow of the boat in a hurry.

After everyone tied all the ships together, before they could react, they heard Zhang Shuchuan's somewhat panicked voice again.

"The water is so fast, there must be a small waterfall ahead! Everyone, hold on to the boat! Don't let go!"

When the boat was accelerating, Xia Yunrou tied Xiao Wanyi tightly to the boat, and then hugged Xiao Yunqi.

She bought a few more life jackets from the trading interface.

If something really happened, she wouldn't care about being exposed.

Xiao Wanyi was already wearing a small life jacket, but Xiao Yunqi was still too young and could only be held by others.

Zhang Shuchuan controlled the boat and looked at Xia Yunrou and the others behind him while looking ahead.

Although he has a 3D map, most of the land is now flooded, and some water conditions will change, so he can only judge the front through the water conditions.

Sure enough, after a while, their ship was tilted nearly [-] degrees and plummeted down.

There was a big splash.

Several boats collided violently, and everyone was almost thrown out.

Fortunately, he had listened to Zhang Shuchuan's words and tied himself to the boat with a rope.

However, the person was also splashed with water and had several mouthfuls of water poured on him.

Xia Yunrou protected her brother tightly, but she was hit by water and her whole body was wet.

After he was safe, he glanced at his brother. The little guy was still looking at him curiously with his big eyes open.

Zhang Shuchuan protected Wanyi and prevented the water from hitting her.

"Okay, it's okay!"

Zhang Shuchuan saw that the water surface was no longer so anxious, and that the boat and people were safe and sound. He felt relieved and untied the rope from Wanyi's body.

"It's so fun! I want to play again!"

The two little guys, Stone and Pillar, thought they were playing an exciting game.

The adults were a little dumbfounded, and their nervous hearts relaxed.

Fortunately, everyone is fine!

Xia Yunrou was handing her younger brother to Zhang Shuchuan for a hug and going to change clothes when she heard something calling for help.

She looked around and saw that the Zhang family were all fine, they were just a little frightened, and everyone was there.

When I saw that one of the five horses was missing, one was struggling in the water not far away.

She hurriedly called for people to row the boat closer, and then tied the hemp rope around the horse. Everyone worked together to pull the horse up.

"Neigh...the horse almost died! Neigh!"

After the horse was pulled up, he lay on the deck and cried with his companions.

Some of its companions were watching the excitement, some were sad with it, and some were tapping their feet restlessly.

"Fortunately, Shuchuan's wife discovered it in time, otherwise we would have lost another horse."

Old man Zhang stroked the horse's head and said happily.

After spending some time with the cows and horses, I developed some feelings.

They would also be sad if they lost one of them suddenly.
