Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

After they were far away, Xu Huaiyi took the opportunity to sneak into the RV, ate something, drank a bottle of ice-cold soda, and his congestion eased a little. Then he found his cell phone, took a lot of pictures around Qingzhou City, and went in again. , left a note for his wife, explained a few words, pasted it in a conspicuous place, and then ducked out.

I felt somewhat relieved.

If there is a problem, solve it, no big deal.

After a while, those people came back with support. Looking at their expressions, it was clear that he was hit hard. Xu Maoyuan staggered a little while walking, and his face was even darker and bloodless.

Xu Huaiyi didn't ask anything. After they climbed into the car, he shouted, "Drive!" and the mule cart slowly left, leaving Qingzhou City far behind.

On the way back, the atmosphere was much heavier than when we came here. We were still holding on to a bit of luck when we came here. At this moment, there was only despair, no one wanted to speak, and the silence was depressing.

After a long time, Village Chief Xu was the first to come to his senses and pulled himself together to persuade him, "If you think about it, it doesn't really matter. You can clean up as you need to when you get back. The cows have been fed and the car needs to be repaired. Don't worry." If we stay on the road and delay things again, it’s too late to get into the carriage now. We can just build a small shed with an oilcloth and cover it with a straw mat to keep out the wind and snow..."

"The most important thing is food and clothes. Prepare more things that are easy to store and easy to eat. The clothes must be able to survive the winter, otherwise they will not be able to withstand it. There are also medicines, which are also essential. Oh, there are also If you have any money, find a place to hide it. You must remember not to reveal your wealth. No one knows what you will encounter on the road. Don't bring other messy things with you. It won't take enough effort..."

"Dad..." Xu Changsong shouted in panic, but didn't know what to say.

Village Chief Xu made the final decision and his expression became determined, "That's it, we have no other way to go."

Everyone knows that this trip was originally to give themselves the last chance and hope. Now that hope has been completely shattered, what else can they do?

Are you coming to Qingzhou City to try your luck like those refugees just now?

It would be better to escape and have hope.

People are really useless if they wait here for charity.

After Uncle Gao put aside the slightest chance, he became more open-minded than Village Chief Xu, "What the Village Chief said is that the last road we thought about before has been blocked, so just run away. How big a problem can it be?" There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Maybe if we go to the capital, we will be in a different situation. The trees will die and the people will live. We are old, but we still have children."

Uncle Liu nodded in agreement, and now his heart became a little brighter, and he was still in the mood to ask, "Have you decided to go to the capital? It's not easy to live in the capital..."

Uncle Gao asked back, "You can't go south, right?"

Uncle Liu mused, "The south is a land of plenty. We don't have to worry about food and drink, and we don't have to worry about drought anymore."

Uncle Gao Er shook his head, "But it's too far away from here. It's unclear whether we, with our old arms and legs, can make it there. Even if we're lucky and make it there, will we be able to come back again in this life?"

Hearing this, Uncle Liu was speechless.

Village Chief Xu said, "I also think it would be good to go to the capital. At least I have something to look forward to."

Second Uncle Gao agreed, "Yes, the capital is still under the emperor's feet, and it is more secure than anywhere else. We don't have to be afraid of any disasters. If we become famous there, our descendants will not have to suffer anymore. Although our place is good, it is isolated." There will be a drought in a few years. Those rich and powerful people are not afraid, but what about us?"

It's okay if the court provides disaster relief, but if there isn't, you can only wait to die.

Everyone talked to each other, and the more they talked, the more energetic they became.

The heavy atmosphere before was finally dissipated.

Outside the car, Xu Huaiyi listened expressionlessly.

Meng Erzhu glanced at him cautiously. He didn't know why. Xu Huaiyi like this made him feel strange and inexplicably awe-inspiring. He was no longer the buddy he could hold hands with and talk to about everything before, but with that face , it was still the same face. He even peeked behind his ear. There was an obvious black mole there and a scar on his thumb. These were exactly the same as what he remembered. Therefore, he had known him for more than ten years. years of people.

Could it be that he was just faking it before?

But it doesn’t look like it at first glance.

Is it like the old people in the village said, when people encounter major changes, their temperament will change drastically and they will grow up overnight?

"What are you looking at?" Xu Huaiyi is not a dead person. He will be unaware if someone keeps looking at him.

Meng Erzhu smiled dryly and said, "Look at you now, you are much more powerful than before."

Xu Huaiyi turned around and glanced at him, "Just say what you want to say, what are you doing with all this nonsense?"

Meng Erzhu scratched his head and explained with some restraint, "Nothing, I just feel that you are different from before. I feel that we are a little distant. So, I have no intention of being righteous, let alone accusing you. , I didn’t help you when you encountered those things before, so you deserve to blame me..."

Xu Huaiyi interrupted angrily, "Why am I blaming you? How could I not know what's going on in your family? It's not that I'm alienating you. It's just that I have a lot of things in my heart that I haven't figured out yet. How can I find the time to look for them? Are you playing?"

Meng Erzhu asked blankly, "What about you now?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "Now that I have figured it out, I plan to change my life, but I don't know if you are used to watching?"

"It's good, really..." Meng Erzhu smiled naively, a little embarrassed, "Look at how good your life is now, much better than before."

"Don't you think I'm heartless and unjust in not recognizing my relatives?"

Meng Erzhu shook his head, "I know your situation better than anyone else. If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing we could do, who would be willing to go to this point? It's good, really, you are right, I am happy for you..."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi's heart couldn't help but feel warm. He patted his shoulder and suddenly asked, "Do you want to learn to drive a car?"

Meng Erzhu's eyes lit up, "Can I do it?"

"Why not? Come on, let me teach you!"

Facts have proved that there is no man who doesn't like cars. After Xu Huaiyi taught for a while, Meng Erzhu took over. Although others were naive, he learned this quickly. He held the reins and was able to catch up more steadily than Xu Huaiyi.

Along the way, the two of them alternated and rushed non-stop. By the time they reached Tong County, the sky had already darkened.

Several people in the car were also tired and had backaches.

Village Chief Xu encouraged a few people, "If you persist just a little longer, you'll be home soon. It'll be fine when you get home..."

Uncle Liu smiled bitterly and slapped his waist, "If we run away from famine in the future, if we keep going like this, my old life will have to be sealed..."

Second Uncle Gao joked, "What are you thinking of? This is a car that people are kind to, can you ride in it?"

Uncle Liu choked.

Xu Maoyuan sighed, "How many people in the village have cattle and cars? When the time comes, they will all have to walk on two legs. It won't be too fast. Don't worry..."
