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

In the evening, the family sat in the main room and prepared to have dinner.

But no one had much appetite, as they were weighed down by the thought of fleeing famine. This was where they had lived since childhood. No one was willing to leave.

But if you flee from famine, you may still survive. If you don't flee, you will just have to wait for death.

Old Lady Wang put a basket full of meat buns on the table. Everyone who had no appetite just now stared at her. If you listen carefully, you can even hear the sound of swallowing saliva.

"Mom, where did the buns come from?" Wang Zhuzi asked puzzledly.

Old Lady Wang rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you have food, eat it. Why are you asking so many questions? If you don't want to eat, go back to your room."

Wang Zhuzi was used to being scolded. He wasn't angry. He scratched his head and chuckled twice.

Old Wang reached out and took a bun. He said, "Let's eat. We can still clean up some things after we finish eating."

Everyone then picked up the buns and started eating them, especially the children, who ate them with great relish.

"Oh my god, the meat buns are so fragrant and delicious," said Goudan while eating.

Xiaomi was also chewing a bun. It was really delicious, and the oil flowed out when I bit into it. The skin was thin and the filling was large. The amount was quite enough.

The buns were as big as an adult's fist. The children ate three each and their bellies were full.

Zhang Xing'er and Zhao Lishui also ate four.

Wang Zhuzi ate six of them, shocking Xiaomi so much that his mouth opened wide.

Wang Zhuzi is the one who eats the most in the family, and he is also the strongest. He is stronger than Wang Chengzi. When he stands there, he is like an iron tower. His palm is as big as a palm leaf fan.

Everyone had a full stomach after this meal, and even the anxiety of fleeing the famine was alleviated a lot.

The next day, Wang Zhuzi and Zhao Lishui went to her mother's house and told them the news of fleeing famine.

Before leaving, Old Lady Wang asked them to take ten meat buns with them and told them not to eat at Zhao's house and to come back early.

Life is hard for everyone these days. If two people go away for no reason, the rest of the family will have to eat less.

Old Wang took Wang Chengzi to the city. Xiaomi wanted to follow him, but Old Lady Wang wouldn't let him. In the end, they didn't go.

---

At the corner of Wang's house, several heads were pressed together, waiting for Xiaomi to share the candy.

This is a little secret among the kids, although the adults know it too.

"It's still the same. Three White Rabbit candies per person, and half a bag of dried meat." Xiaomi said as he was distributing the candies. The brothers nodded their heads like chicks pecking at rice.

They like this little sister the most. Not only is she pretty, but she also always gives them food and has a good temper.

Unlike Guizi's sister, she always cries and snatches food. If you don't give her food, she will roll on the ground.

After distributing the candies, the friends went their separate ways.

Xiaomi took the candy, ran to Zhang Xing'er and put one into her mouth.

Zhang Xing'er refused to eat it, so Xiaomi insisted on giving it to her. He stuffed it into Zhang Xing'er's mouth and ran away.

Zhang Xing'er thought, it's better to have a daughter. Daughters are considerate. For example, Gou Wa never thought of giving her a bite of food. But Guai Bao would give her a bite of food no matter what he had.

After feeding her mother, Xiaomi ran to find Old Lady Wang. He didn't give Old Lady Wang candy, but stuffed a piece of dried meat into her mouth.

The jerky is hand-shredded beef. It's spicy. It's so delicious.

Old Lady Wang also refused to eat, saying that she was too old and couldn't chew it. But Old Lady Wang was obviously only in her 40s.

In modern times, people over 40 are not considered old. Some are more energetic than young girls.

Xiaomi knew that Old Lady Wang was reluctant to eat it. She wanted to save it for her. So Xiaomi squeezed into Old Lady Wang's arms and said coquettishly, "Grandma won't eat it, and Guaibao won't eat it either. Guaibao wants Grandma to live a good life. This little bit of dried meat is nothing. In the future, Guaibao will let Grandma eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow."

Old Lady Wang was so coaxed that she ate the dried meat obediently. She even asked Xiaomi, "My dear, what does this dragon liver and phoenix marrow taste like? I wouldn't dare to dream of eating something so precious."

Xiaomi didn't know what it tasted like, after all, she had never eaten it before. She couldn't answer this question.

"Grandma, I'm going to see if grandpa's back." Then he ran away.

Old Lady Wang looked at Xiaomi's back and smiled lovingly. She said, "Run slower, don't fall."

Before noon, Wang Zhuzi and Zhao Lishui returned.

Old Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked what her in-laws said.

Zhao Lishui looked worried. Zhaojia Village didn't take it seriously at the moment. They just thought it would be fine after some rain.

Her parents didn't want to leave either, they just said they would inform the clan leader.

Old Lady Wang comforted her, "Don't get angry, old man. The locust plague won't come anytime soon. When they see that other villages have left, they will definitely follow suit.

We might meet halfway.”

Zhao Lishui knew that this was the only way, so she nodded to Old Lady Wang and went into the house.

There are still many things in the house that have not been packed. I have to hurry up and pack them. Three days will pass in the blink of an eye.

The clan leader said that we should set out at 4 a.m., and we should leave on time. We won't wait for anyone.

In the evening, Old Wang and Wang Chengzi also returned in the sunset. They also brought back a cart. They couldn't afford a mule, so they could only buy a cart and push it manually.

There was also a can of coarse salt. Six water bags. Five oilcloths. Four bags of grain. The grain was far from enough. But there was no other way. There was no money at home. I could only buy so much.

Take it one step at a time. You won't starve to death.

When Mrs. Wang saw that everyone was present, she called for dinner. Today's dinner was also exceptionally sumptuous.

A large pot full of braised pork and a pot of steamed brown rice.

This time, Old Lady Wang did not share the food. She let everyone eat as much as they could.

We are going to flee the famine soon. We can't eat so ostentatiously on the road. It will make people jealous. We should cook all the good food at home in the next two days.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. It was even better than what we had during the Chinese New Year.

After dinner, everyone went to rest. In the east room, Wang Chengzi and Zhang Xing'er were chatting. Gou Wa had fallen asleep long ago.

Zhang Xing'er used a blanket to cover Gou Wa's belly. Then she turned around and talked to Wang Chengzi.

"Brother Cheng, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. What should I do? I'm unsure.

The child is still so young, how can he bear walking so much every day. And what if he encounters bandits on the road, what should he do as a refugee? My dear baby is still so young." Zhang Xing'er said, tears streaming down her face.

She was afraid of waking up Gou Wa, so she just shed tears but didn't cry out loud.

Wang Chengzi hugged Zhang Xing'er and wiped her tears with his big hands, then patted her shoulder.

Then he gently comforted her, "Xing'er, don't cry. Don't be afraid. I'm here. I can carry my baby on my back. It won't tire her out. Besides, we're traveling with the villagers, so the people won't dare to provoke us.

The bandits only rob the rich. We are just peasants. The bandits may not be interested in us.

Go to sleep. Don't think too much. I'll take care of everything."

With Wang Chengzi's comfort, Zhang Xing'er slowly stopped crying and fell asleep.

After Zhang Xing'er fell asleep, Wang Chengzi did not sleep. Although he had comforted his wife in a series of ways just now, he was still unsure.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Wang Chengzi fell asleep.

The next day, because we decided to escape the famine, we didn't have to work in the fields.

Old Wang got up early, but didn't know what to do. He sat on the doorstep and made baskets. He made a few more baskets so that he could put some things in them when he set out.

While Old Wang was weaving the basket, the others also got up one after another.

After breakfast, Old Lady Wang began to make arrangements. They would set out early tomorrow morning. Wang Chengzi and Wang Zhuzi went to fetch water and filled the water bags. She and her two daughters-in-law made pancakes at home. They would save the pancakes for the journey.

Several children were told to go to the woods to dig wild vegetables.

Xiaomi also took a small basket and went to pick wild vegetables with his brothers and sisters.

When we walked into the woods, we saw many people digging wild vegetables.

Actually, there are very few wild vegetables now because of drought. But if you dig some wild vegetables, you can use less grain when cooking. So there are still many people digging wild vegetables.

Daya is used to digging wild vegetables. She knows exactly where to find wild vegetables.

So Daya led the team and walked forward with her younger brothers and sisters.

Sure enough, I found a large patch of shepherd's purse.

Several boys squatted on the ground and started digging. They twisted their hands and pulled out a wild vegetable.

Xiaomi also squatted down to help dig, still talking to Tuanzi in his heart.

"Tuanzi, do you think I look like Wang Baochuan now?"

"No, Wang Baochuan is a love-brained person, but you are not."

There’s nothing left to talk about.

Then Xiaomi asked Tuanzi to search if there were any good things nearby.

"Xiaomi, Xiaomi. It really is there. Walk forward. Yes. Walk two steps to the right. Then lower your head."

Xiaomi stood under the tree and looked down, but didn't see anything valuable.

Just see a grass with red fruits.

Wait, red fruit!!

“Ginseng, is it ginseng?”

Tuanzi: "Yes, Xiaomi. It's ginseng."

Xiaomi: "Wow, I didn't expect that I actually dug up the ginseng that is a must-have for time-traveling women. Hahahahahaha. I'm rich now.

Tuanzi, I love you so much."

Tuanzi also laughed. Seeing Xiaomi's happy face, he thought about finding more treasures for Xiaomi in the future.

Xiaomi now made a mark under the tree. Then she turned around and called Daya. Why didn't she call the three brothers? Because she felt that Daya was the most reliable. The three brothers were a little unreliable.

Xiaomi ran to Daya and pulled her sleeve.

He whispered in Daya's ear: "Sister Daya, I found a good thing. I'll take you there. Hurry and dig it out."

Daya was led by Xiaomi to the place where they had just made a mark.

Before leaving, he reminded his three younger brothers that they could only dig wild vegetables in this area and not run around.

Gou Wa patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Sister Daya. I will take good care of my brother."

Only then did Daya follow Xiaomi with peace of mind.

When they got to the big tree, Xiaomi pointed at the ginseng and started digging. While digging, he asked Daya to follow him.

"Sister Daya, be careful when you dig. It's best not to break the roots. This is ginseng. It's very valuable.

When we get home, let grandma buy it. Then we will have money. "

Daya had heard of ginseng. It was Wang, a hunter in the village, who had dug up ginseng. It was said that he had sold it for ten taels of silver.

The men dug it up carefully, using a small wooden stick to separate the roots from the soil bit by bit.
