Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Xu Huaiyi wanted to have a clear conscience, but he was not stupid enough to shoulder all the responsibilities on his shoulders, so after he finished speaking, he added frankly, "Uncle Village Chief, this is just my personal opinion. , I still have to listen to you and everyone else’s opinions on the specific arrangements.”

His attitude is very clear: he wants democracy, not dictatorship.

But the villagers are all honest and have little knowledge. Even if you give them democracy and freedom, they still can't make up their minds, especially in this situation.

Village Chief Xu thought clearly. Who else could he listen to if he didn't listen to Xu Huaiyi at this time? Along the way, whenever Xu Huaiyi took the initiative, he never made any mistakes, so at this moment, he hardly needed to hesitate and made an immediate decision, "Then go into the mountains to rest and wait a few days to see the situation before deciding on the next step." Walk."

He made the final decision and asked the villagers meaningfully.

Can the villagers still have different opinions? They all nodded in agreement.

So, the team turned around and headed toward the mountains.

The old saying is true when you look up the mountain and run to death. After walking for more than half an hour, you can see that there is still a long way to go from the mountain. Especially compared to the official road, this road is really rugged and bumpy, and the villagers are very worried. Pushing a cart and carrying things on your back made walking more difficult and arduous.

Xu Huaiyi was driving the mule cart at the front. It was actually not easy. The further he went, the narrower the road became. If he was not careful, the wheels of the cart would get stuck in a pit. The mule was tired, and so were the people. Gu Huanxi hugged him The daughter, carrying her son, got out of the car and started walking.

After walking for a while, the team stopped to rest.

The villagers collapsed on the hay and didn't want to get up. Although they were tired and panting, it was not without benefits. The closer they were to the mountain, the more wild vegetables they could eat, including some low shrubs, such as mulberry trees and wild jujubes. Trees can be seen everywhere. The children and women were so happy that they picked them while walking. They had enough food for the day.

Xu Huaiyi picked up the water bag, raised his head and drank a few sips, wiped his mouth, and whispered to his wife, "I'll go ahead and take a look first. If anything goes wrong, I can take precautions in advance."

Gu Huanxi looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, as if she couldn't see the end. She nodded, "Yeah," and then said worriedly, "Don't be brave. If you have any problems, come back first and discuss it later. Don't just pounce on someone and do something reckless just because you have some skills."

Xu Huaiyi helped her brush her messy hair and gently pushed it behind her ears. His brows were soft but firm, "Daughter-in-law, I have you and my child waiting for me here. My life is precious, unless it's for you." Otherwise, I won’t get involved in anything dangerous.”

"Well, it's best to keep this in mind at all times, otherwise, you will let other men spend the money you earn to sleep with your wife and beat your children."

"..."

This way of caring for him is really cruel.

When Xu Huaiyi left, his cheeks were sore. The scene his wife described was completely unthinkable. When he thought about it, every man looked gloomy.

He was riding a mule, which was quite fast. When he ran back, he looked very happy, as if he had found a treasure.

Seeing this, the villagers jumped up in spirit.

Village Chief Xu pushed aside the people who were approaching, rushed up and asked, "Huaiyi, what's going on ahead?"

Xu Huaiyi said excitedly, "Uncle Village Chief, there is a small village ahead, but the houses are dilapidated. It looks like no one has lived in it for several years, but there are stone walls on all sides to block the wind. Let's go there to rest for a few days. It couldn't be more suitable. The most important thing is that there are wells in the village, as well as persimmon trees and walnut trees. Going up the mountain, there are also chestnut trees and acorn trees, which are enough for us all to make up for the food we have consumed these days. ”

He raised his voice so high that most of the villagers heard it, and they all beamed with joy. Now, the food is closer than the parents, who can not be excited?

Moreover, it was picked up for free.

Village Chief Xu put his hands on his hands and laughed, saying "Okay" three times in a row!

This is truly a blessing in disguise.

So what are you waiting for?

This time, the villagers set off enthusiastically without anyone urging them. Their legs and waists were no longer sore, and their arms were strong. It felt like they could push hundreds more kilograms of grain without any effort.

This is the appeal of food and the pull of hope.

Compared to the excitement of the villagers, Gu Xiaoyu was more puzzled. He looked at the mountains getting closer and asked Gu Huanxi, "Mom, why don't those refugees guarding the gate of Fucheng want to come to the mountains to find food?" What? Why would you rather go hungry and wait for government relief than find other ways to survive?"

"This is a good question." Gu Huanxi affirmed first. Children love to use their brains and think, so they must be praised and encouraged. Then, she explained, "This is one of people's bad habits. When a disaster comes, only A few people will actively save themselves. They have the courage and confidence to give themselves a chance to survive. Most people prefer to rely on others because they dare not take risks and cannot afford the consequences of self-rescue. They passively wait for others. Relief, in their eyes, is obviously more practical and insurance.”

"But it's not safe now..."

"If disaster relief is timely, they will be able to successfully survive the famine."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoyu's eyes darkened, he pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Gu Huanxi touched his head, smiled, and was not relieved. Some emotions needed to be digested by himself, and no one could replace them.

In fact, until now, she has not been able to guess Gu Xiaoyu's identity. She only relied on her intuition to feel that he was not an ordinary person. The principles she usually taught him were done based on her intuition without thinking about the future. , if he can use it, he only needs to ask and want to learn, then she will definitely teach her everything she knows.

Half an hour later, we finally arrived at the small village that Xu Huaiyi was talking about. It was said to be a small village, but in fact it only had seven or eight fairly small courtyards, but the houses were completely uninhabitable, and the beams on the tops were all burnt. The ashes were removed, and the wall was saved because it was made of stone.

Otherwise, it is overgrown with weeds and looks desolate.

But not far away, the tall and lush persimmon trees and walnut trees studded with fruits are enough to offset all the depression and desolation. What a joke, if this place is not desolate and desolate, and there is still a lively population, then it is not their turn to take advantage of it, right? Then let's beat out the villagers here!

The villagers couldn't wait to pick, but Village Chief Xu suppressed them, "Don't worry, first settle the belongings, the elderly and the children. We have to stay here for a few days. Those things grow on trees, and they can still be harvested." Can you run away? Listen to me, clean up the yard first, and move everyone inside for the time being. It can block the wind at night. If there are wild wolves and wild boars rushing down from the mountains, you can also have a guarantee. Don't take it seriously. Take a look at what's going on here. No one was left behind?"

After hearing this, the villagers gave up the idea of ​​going to pick immediately. They were busy cleaning up the yard first, and several families worked together to put everything in. This would indeed make them feel more at ease.

After finishing the work, it was time for lunch.

When Xu Huaiyi added firewood to the fire, he mysteriously said to his wife, "Do you know how this place was destroyed by the regiment? It wasn't attacked by wild boars and wolves in the mountains, and it didn't look like a plague. I guess it was because The enemy came to the door and not only killed me, but also set fire to everything."

Gu Huanxi didn't listen at first and just thought he had watched too many martial arts dramas. Unexpectedly, he avoided others and quietly showed her two things. She could no longer calm down.
