The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

---

Everyone agreed. After all, they were afraid; afraid that the soldiers would come after them. It was better to leave early and go into the mountains. The government would not go into the mountains for a few hundred people.

Seeing that the villagers of Lotus Village were leaving, Boss Zhou went to find Chief Qian.

Boss Zhou: "Chief Qian, please let me go with you guys."

Chief Qian didn't say anything. Qian Youliang spoke first. "Brother, it's not that we don't want you to follow us. These days, every family is short of food."

Boss Zhou also nodded and said, "Patriarch Qian, don't worry. I will go with you. I won't bother you with other things.

I really have no way out. No one in the village escaped. They were arrested by the government. I am the only one left. I know a section of the road to Daqing Mountain. I can lead you there.

I won’t hold you back.” Then he covered his face and cried bitterly.

Qian Youliang saw a young man in his twenties, crying with tears and snot.

I opened my mouth, but couldn't bear to say anything else.

Chief Qian also looked at Boss Zhou. He thought that if his own village didn't escape, the end would probably be the same as Boss Zhou's village.

I can't help but feel the same way. Just think of it as a good deed.

He nodded and asked Boss Zhou to follow the team. But they could only walk together.

After hearing this, Zhou Laoda cried even louder. In his opinion, being able to go along was already a great thing.

If you walk alone on the road to escape famine, it is like a child holding gold and sitting in a busy market. It is obvious that you will be robbed.

Robbery is the least of it. I am afraid someone will get angry and cook him alive.

If that happens, their village will be completely wiped out.

Thinking of this, Boss Zhou kowtowed to Patriarch Qian several times. He said sincerely, "Patriarch Qian, I will remember this favor.

I will never forget your kindness. If I am still alive, I will definitely carve a monument and write a biography for you. Let my descendants remember your kindness. "

After saying that, he wiped his tears and went to the front of the line with red eyes and nose.

What he said before about being familiar with Daqingshan was not a lie.

He was indeed familiar with the outskirts of Daqing Mountain. His father was a herbal farmer in the village and often went to Daqing Mountain to collect herbs.

He often followed them, but only on the outskirts, three or four days away from the mountain.

He had just been to the area where they were now, so he could lead the people of Lotus Village into it.

The villagers followed Wang the Hunter and Zhou Lao Da into the Daqing Mountains. When the other refugees heard that they were going to cross the Daqing Mountains, they all thought they were crazy.

Daqing Mountain covers a vast area. Although it is called Daqing Mountain, it actually consists of several high mountains.

It would take at least three months to cross the mountain. If you get lost on the way, it would be even more dangerous in winter when the mountains are covered with snow.

Not to mention the wild animals in the mountains, jackals, bears, tigers, all of which are deadly.

Didn't the people of Lotus Village know this? No, they knew it better than anyone else. It was precisely because they knew it that they had to pass through Daqing Mountain.

The road down the mountain is easy to travel, but the government is corrupt. When disaster strikes, they don't bother to comfort the people affected by the disaster or open the warehouses to release grain.

They only thought about using force to suppress and violently suppress. There were also heavy taxes. Now they have to recruit soldiers to fight.

In their eyes, all these things were more terrifying than the wild beasts in the mountains. If they encountered wild beasts, they might still fight and have a chance of winning.

But the government was like a mountain pressing down on them, like a ferocious beast clinging to them from behind, with its bloody mouth wide open and its fangs bared.

As long as they move, they will be crushed to death or bitten to death immediately. There is no room for resistance.

So they chose to cross the Daqing Mountains, which would leave them a way to survive.

The Wang family set off with the villagers, and one of them was still holding Xiaomi.

On the way, Xiaomi occasionally came down to take a walk by himself.

The road in the mountains was particularly difficult to walk on, although someone had cleared the way ahead. But the ground was still littered with gravel and dead branches.

The shoes creaked as she walked on them. Occasionally, she stepped on stones, which hurt her soles. Xiaomi looked down at her shoes.

The uppers were made by Zhang Xing'er using clothes that were no longer wearable. She glued the cloth together layer by layer with glue and trimmed it.

On the gray upper, Zhang Xing'er embroidered two lively little butterflies. They were very vivid and lifelike.

The soles are made of Thousand Layers. Thousand Layers are not easy to make. Every time you have to use an awl to poke a hole before inserting the needle.

When pulling the thread, be sure to tighten it so that the base is strong and not easily worn out. Just sew it tightly in circles. It is done.

Xiaomi was wearing shoes with a thousand-layer sole. After walking for a while, her feet still felt uncomfortable.

Look at what other people are wearing. Women are better off, wearing cloth shoes and a pair of woven straw sandals on top to reduce the wear and tear of the cloth shoes.

Old Wang, Wang Chengzi and Wang Zhuzi just wore a pair of straw sandals.

Through the gaps in the straw sandals, one can see that the feet are covered with thick calluses from years of walking.

Some places were rubbed with blisters. The blisters were broken and rubbed again, revealing the bright red flesh. Other places were dry and cracked with large cuts. But no one complained of pain.

They just walked forward step by step. It seemed that they had gotten used to the hardships that life brought them. It also seemed that this level was common to them. It was not considered hardship.

Xiaomi couldn't bear to watch it anymore because she didn't have any good solution at the moment.

Just let Tuanzi pay attention to his surroundings and don’t miss any good things; or give a warning when there is danger.

In this way, they went deeper and deeper for two days without any problems. They finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the government officials would not come after them.

At noon, Hunter Wang found an open space and let the villagers rest there.

After Wang the Hunter finished speaking, the villagers dispersed, looking for all kinds of food and picking up some firewood.

Daya also pulled Xiaomi to the side. Ever since the last wild boar incident, no one was comfortable with children running alone. An adult would always follow them.

This time, it was Zhao Lishui who followed. After running for a distance, they looked around for wild vegetables. Sometimes they would look up to see if there were any bird nests in the trees.

"Xiaomi, I found a large piece of cassava." Tuanzi's surprised voice suddenly came to my mind.

Xiaomi quickly asked, "Where? Which way?"

After saying that, he pulled Daya and tentatively walked towards the place Tuanzi mentioned.

"Go straight ahead; yes, we're almost there.

There’s a lot of it in front.”

When Xiaomi reached the location Tuanzi mentioned, he saw a large stretch of bushes growing vertically. The leaves were very large, the longest of which was 20 centimeters long.

There are a few fine lines on the leaves, and the color is light green.

Xiaomi exclaimed "Wow" when she saw it. She didn't expect there were so many; this much should be enough for the whole village to eat for a long time.

Zhao Lishui also followed and saw Xiaomi staring at the bushes in front of him.

Asked: "My dear, what are you looking at?"
