Chapter 969: The old lady who was starved to death (8)
"I understand, grandma!
But if we leave, will you miss us? Moreover, our new hybrid breeding experiment is not over yet. If we leave now, I am afraid that the little dragon and the little tiger will not be able to keep up with the progress...
Uh…and…”
Because Zhang Dou is the oldest in the valley besides Qiao Mu and is also the leader of other children, his status in the valley is basically similar to that of the butler, who cares about everything and worry about everything.
Like an old mom.
Although he had the idea of going out at this time, he was still worried about this and that, for fear that if he left, there would be problems in the valley.
But this time Qiaomu didn't listen to him talk like before, and directly interrupted him:
“You shouldn’t think so much.
If you are not here, aren't you still me?
I can do all the things you do, don't forget that I teach you all the things you know.
Don't worry, go out and make a living.
The eagle always wants to leave the nest and regard itself as a dear.
But I still have some things to remind you that you should bring all the things when you leave. Now it’s still messy outside, so you must pay attention to safety.
If possible, help Zhang Hui more.
Don't let her be bullied.
It's probably that's it, okay, that's it. Don't worry too much about your home when you go out.
When your younger brothers and sisters get older, I will let them go out. It is best if you can achieve some success and not let them go. When you go out now, the most important thing is to establish a foothold first and leave a direction for your younger brothers and sisters to go out.
This way I can feel more at ease.
Okay, go back and rest and pack up.
Let's leave tomorrow."
Anyway, I have to leave, instead of staying here for a few more days or sad days.
It's better to leave tomorrow.
Save time and feelings.
It's not a separation from life and death.
There are still trees to live until the world is stable, and you will naturally be able to reunite again.
Zhang Dou knew Qiao Mu very well. Seeing that she had already said this, she naturally would not hesitate to say that this was not possible or that it was not possible. In the end, she still expressed her pleasure that she would work hard outside and not let her younger brother and sister go to the right place.
Then he left with the others.
Or take the others away.
Leave and go back to pack up.
Prepare to leave tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Qiaomu took the rest of the valley to hold a farewell party for them, and prepared a lot of gold, silver and jewelry for them to serve as their starting funds.
Before leaving, Zhang Dou and the other five turned around at the same time and kowtowed three times at Qiao Mu. Then, amid the reluctance of farewell from other younger brothers and sisters, they resolutely left the valley and the Taoyuan Pure Land.
Go to the troubled times outside to struggle.
As for the final result, this Qiaomu is hard to say. What she can do is just give each of them something that does not belong to this era when they leave, give them some protection, such as soft armor, placing dead talismans, and try to protect their lives.
Of course, these things cannot guarantee that they will never die. At most, they can only give them a few more opportunities. If something happens to them, Qiaomu will have no choice.
Next, we can only look at their ten years of learning achievements and their luck.
...
Zhang Dou and the others who left Taoyuan Valley all rode their cows. There was no way. There were no horses in their valley. Instead, there were many cattle and sheep, so there were definitely no way to ride the sheep, so they could only ride the cows. So if they didn't want to walk to the Central Plains, they could only ride the cows.
Fortunately, they did not shed cattle a lot when they were young, so they were very familiar with the habits of cattle they were riding. Although the speed was far less than that of a horse, it was faster and more convenient than walking. So it took only half a month in total, they successfully left the grassland and officially entered the chaotic Central Plains.
It was not until they saw the situation at this time that the memories of ten years ago reappeared in their minds.
"The world is too chaotic. We only rode a few cows. We were robbed three times along the way. The most terrifying thing is that I didn't see any large-scale farmland along the way.
If no one farms, what do they rely on for their living?
Do you all rely on robbery to make a living?”
Although all the people who came to rob were driven away by them, Zhang Dou and the others were still in a heavy mood at this time, especially when they saw the ragged and thin people waving wooden sticks at them, they felt even more sad.
“I’m afraid that’s not the case, and it’s very similar.
I originally thought that ten years have passed and this land should be able to restore some vitality no matter what.
But unexpectedly, the plants and trees grew, but the situation was worse than before.
Back then, it was a drought in the world and it was really impossible to plant it. But now it is barely considered a good weather, but there is still no one to plant it. What's wrong with this world? Where did they get the food?"
Alaxan is also very confused.
The situation outside was quite different from what they imagined. Not long after they came in, the reality had completely broken their fantasies.
There is no prosperity in the eyes.
Some are just dilapidated and desolate and barbaric.
Not as good as back then.
"I have read a book that explains this situation. When people cannot obtain food through farming, or farming is not worth the cost, they will completely give up on this matter and find ways to survive through other channels.
If I guess correctly, the people should have planted it before, but the food they obtained after planting it can hardly enter their pockets, and more than once, after this one or two times, naturally no one is willing to plant it.”
Zhang Hui was just talking, and a small army had rushed over not far away, with about a few dozen people. They hurried over on horseback. As soon as they came to them, they pointed at them with spears:
"Where did the rebels come from? How dare they steal cattle?
Hurry them up and kill them."
After listening to the high-sounding words, the other soldiers following the leader quickly surrounded Zhang Dou and the others, and had already drawn out their knives to chop them up.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Dou Alaxan and the others couldn't help but look at each other and smiled bitterly. It seemed that Zhang Hui was right. Can they not know if this bull was stolen? But the soldiers didn't even ask and wanted to kill them.
Take away the cattle they rode.
Treat them like this.
What will happen to the people who farm?
You don't have to think about it and know what's better.
This practice of fishing through the pond is ridiculous, but it appears here in a panic.
It can be seen that the stupidity of the warlords in the northwest is.
And the difficulty of survival for the people here.
No wonder there are bandits everywhere and people cannot be seen.
I'm afraid only bandits can survive here.
Civilians cannot survive at all.
