Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

"Sister Fang, Erwazi, have you two rested well? If you have rested well, I will take you back to Jijia Village tomorrow."

"Brother Zhuzi, you didn't coax me. Are you really taking me back to Jijia Village?" Erwazi was still young and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Erwazi, whenever Brother Zhuzi coaxed us and said he would take us back, he will definitely take us back." Although Ji Fang said this, she was obviously not confident enough.

"You two should have a good rest today. I will take you back tomorrow. The journey won't be easy, so you two should be mentally prepared."

"Brother Zhuzi, no matter how difficult it is, it will be more difficult with us."

Yes, this brother and sister could not read or write, but they were able to walk and ask questions along the way, and followed the fleeing army to the capital. Their courage and endurance were far beyond that of ordinary people.

Seeing that the three had made up their minds, the family members became busy again.

"Brother, I've asked Director Zhou for leave. It's not safe on the road, so I'll go with you." Zhao Xu is usually quiet, but he really does deliver at critical moments.

Father Lou originally wanted to join in the fun, but gave up due to opposition from the whole family. Just kidding, with this broken road now, even if the journey was smooth, the bumps alone would take a long time for the old man to survive.

With Zhao Xu and He Yuzhu keeping them company, the family felt a little relieved.

"Jingru, I'll trouble Zhao Xu to accompany me this time. You can come and keep your sister-in-law company during this time."

"Brother Zhuzi, it's too polite for you to say that. Don't worry, I will take good care of my sister-in-law."

Time was short and the task was heavy. After things at home were settled, the rest of the people were busy preparing things for the four people to use on the road.

He Yuzhu and Zhao Xu came to the study and carefully checked the guns. These were life-saving devices, and if they jammed when used, they would not be able to laugh.

"Brother, this is a rare item. Most people can't get it."

"It's OK. I think it's just so-so. It can be used as it is."

Zhao Xu: "Brother, you are really good at pretending~" Of course, he only dared to say this in his heart and said he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Second brother, what are you planning about me in your mind?"

"Brother, no, you're overthinking it. I'm just thinking about what to bring."

"You better not..."

After bullying Zhao Xu for a while, He Yuzhu felt that the sadness of leaving Lou Xiaoe was slightly relieved.

That night, many people suffered from insomnia, and He Yuzhu was no exception. He finally coaxed Lou Xiaoe to sleep, and under the moonlight, He Yuzhu felt that he could not see enough.

"Go and come back soon, otherwise Xiao'e will worry so much that she will lose weight..."

Zhao Xu is going on a long journey tomorrow. Qin Jingru is extremely energetic tonight. If she hadn't thought about the fact that Zhao Xu has to leave early tomorrow morning, Zhao Xu's waist would probably suffer a lot tonight.

Just like this, when Zhao Xu got up early in the morning, he felt his legs were weak and his feet couldn't touch the ground.

Seeing him like this, He Yuzhu really wanted to kick him.

"Don't you know that you have no use for your skills now? This is pure bragging."

Seeing his elder brother's unfriendly look, Zhao Xu was also confused and thought: "Could it be that I stepped with my left foot first when I entered the door?"

After loading the things that the family had prepared for Jijia Village into the car and having breakfast with the family, the four of them officially embarked on their journey south.

The brother and sister, who were riding in a car for the first time, thought it was so comfortable and wondered how this piece of metal could run so fast.

The brother and sister touched the car and looked outside, curious about everything.

He Yuzhu observed quietly for a few times and thought that this was a good idea. Diverting his attention would probably help him last longer without getting carsick.

Motion sickness today is different from that in later generations. Motion sickness today is mandatory and no one can avoid it.

Fortunately, the brother and sister were able to endure it. After running for a long distance, they finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ugh~yue..."

The brother and sister felt dizzy after vomiting, and they walked away like children who had made a mistake, at a loss as to what to do.

"Brother Zhuzi, aren't we wasting food by doing this?" Ji Fang asked cautiously.

"Sister Fang, this is the case the first time you take a car. I also vomited the first time I took a car. It's not much better than you. After vomiting once, I will be fine next time."

"Sister Fang, Brother Zhuzi is right. I actually want to vomit too, but I have vomited before and now I can hold it back."

With the comfort of both of them, the frowns on the brother and sister's brows finally relaxed a lot.

This damn natural disaster put too much psychological pressure on people. No wonder I heard from the elders in my family that a group of people starved to death during the disaster, and a small group of people died of gluttony after the disaster.

"Ah~"

Faced with the general trend, He Yuzhu was powerless to change it and could only sigh.

After the siblings recovered, they set out on their journey again.

The two of them encountered a lot of ghosts and monsters on the road, and they didn't say this in vain: "Let me go as I please after I get what I want."

When he encountered a whole village of people blocking the road and robbing, He Yuzhu became even more violent. He threw a sweet potato and everyone scattered immediately.

The two of them would not rest if they could avoid it along the way, unless the car stopped for a rest when they would take turns to take a nap.

Even in such a desperate situation, the two of them ran for three days and two nights.

"Sister Fang, Erwazi, wake up, we'll be at Jijia Village soon."

As soon as they heard the word Jijia Village, the brother and sister instantly came to their senses.

They rubbed their eyes and looked at the familiar scene outside the window. They felt more homesick as they got closer. The brother and sister were very excited and couldn't stop crying.

On the last stretch of the road to Jijia Village, He Yuzhu felt no signs of life. Although it was winter, it was too quiet.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the village, in the past, dogs would have barked to warn people, but now there was no movement in the entire village, just like an uninhabited village in later generations.

"Sister Fang, please show me the way. I'll drive to your house and visit my aunt first."

After turning several corners, he parked the car in front of Ji's house, and happened to meet Ji Wangzu who was walking out of Ji Fang's house with difficulty.

Because he was old and very hungry, he bumped into He Yuzhu and then realized that he had hit someone.

I was also shocked. What did I hit that was so solid?

"Old village chief, I, Hu Zi, your brother from the capital, am here to see you."

"Grandpa Village Chief, my brother and I are back."

"Is it Fang and Erwazi? You two are really lucky~"

"Comrade He, thank you for coming all the way here."

"Old village chief, don't say anything. I brought some food. Let's eat first and then we can talk."

Upon hearing that there was food, Ji Wangzu muttered excitedly: "Jijia Village is saved, it is saved~" with tears streaming down his face.

Ji Wangzu wiped away his tears and said to Erwazi: "Erwazi, go and inform the villagers who are still alive to gather at your house."

"Okay, Grandpa Village Chief."

With hope, Erwazi ran as fast as he could, shouting with all his might: "Come to my house to eat, there is food..."
