Gu Dashan said with a smile, but everyone in the Cui family knew that even if they found food, they would have to turn it in. Until the food was repaid, their family of six would have to live by chewing leaves and eating grass roots and bark.

"Boss, you want to starve us to death. Why don't you hurry up and look for food? If you don't find enough food today, I will skin the Cui mother and daughter!"

Gu Dashan just said a word to Mrs. Cui, but Mrs. Gu thought he was being lazy on purpose and started yelling.

"Mom, I'm going to find food right now."

Gu Dashan was afraid that Mrs. Gu would come and beat someone again, so he quickly responded and took An Geer to join the people looking for food in the village, and together they went to look for food nearby.

After Mrs. Gu ordered Gu Dashan and his son, she scolded Ms. Cui again: "Ms. Cui, you lazy idiot, do you still care about me as your mother-in-law? Why don't you hurry up and spread the mat!"

"Come on, mother." Mrs. Cui dragged her tired body and swayed towards the old Gu's house. She turned back and said to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, your injury is not healed yet. Don't go out to look for food. I'll follow you."

Sister and Brother Cheng stay here to rest."

Gu Jinli didn't want Mrs. Cui to worry, so he said against his will: "I understand, mother."

"What are you talking about, hurry up and get reincarnated! Why are you talking so much? Why don't you come here quickly? How long do you want the old lady to stand there?" Old Mrs. Gu was cursing again.

The old Gu family members stood nearby and waited, no one went to work. When Cui came, they cleaned the floor, picked up the gravel on the floor, took off the mat and spread it, and spread it with a thin quilt.

Helped Mrs. Gu to sit down.

After serving Mrs. Gu to rest, Ms. Cui was busy looking for firewood to light the fire.

Gu Jinli looked at it with a fierce look in her eyes. The old Gu family is a bunch of people who don't know what they are called. She can't be tied to such people. They will be dragged to death by these blood-sucking insects. She must find a way to completely separate from the old Gu family.

"Xiaoyu, Sister Xiuer, Brother Cheng, my mother asked me to come and play with you." A little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a patchwork skirt, ran to the straw mat of Gu Jinli's house and was very happy when she saw Gu Jinli.

Said: "Xiaoyu, I heard last night that you were awake and wanted to see you, but it was too late and my parents wouldn't let me."

Gu Jinli looked at the little girl and said with a smile: "Your parents are right, it is very chaotic now. You, a girl, should not run around at night."

The little girl's name is Luo Huiniang, and she is one of the few families with two households in Gujia Village. Her father, Luo Tiezhu, used to be a bodyguard. Later, he was injured and stopped working as a bodyguard, so he moved his wife Chu and their two children from the county to Gujia Village and set up their own house.

Settled on ten acres of land.

The Luo family is living a good life. Luo's father and Gu Dashan are brothers who have known each other for more than 20 years. They have a very good relationship, and the relationship between the Chu family and the Cui family is also good.

During the escape, every time they stopped to rest, the Luo family and the Chu family would run to find food and water, and the Chu family would ask Luo Huiniang to come and play with them. In fact, they were asking the two children to look after each other and avoid getting into trouble.

This time Gu Jinli was injured. The Luo family was the one who lent the most food to his family. The Luo family gave their family the bamboo tube of water. They also helped their family from time to time during the past three days. Otherwise, Gu Dashan and the others would not have been able to survive.

"Then I'll be relieved." Luo Huiniang said and glared at Gu Jinli: "You should have called me when you went to find food. If I were here, how could the Niu brothers dare to take action?"

Luo's father was a bodyguard and taught his son Luo Wu martial arts since he was a child. Luo Huiniang also followed suit. Although she was not as good as her father and brother, she was good at boxing.

He also scolded the Niu brothers: "Niu Dazhuang and the others are really nothing. Not only did they snatch your sweet potatoes, but they also beat you together. Don't worry, my brother and I will definitely avenge you."

Gu Jinli liked this cheerful and lively girl very much. After she finished scolding the Niu brothers, he said: "Come over and sit down and watch over my sister and Brother Cheng for me while I go find something to eat."

After saying that, he got up and ran away, but Gu Jinxiu was too late to stop him.

"Xiaoyu is serious, what if we meet the Niu brothers again?" Gu Jinxiu was frightened when she thought of Xiaoyu lying in a pool of blood.

"What should I do? Beat them up. Sister Xiu, you have such a good temper." Luo Huiniang looked at Gu Xiaoyu's back with envy. She also wanted to find food, but her parents told her that Sister Xiu has too much temper.

Okay, Brother Cheng is too young. She is not here to play with them, but to protect them. There are so many victims. If she leaves them to find food, those victims with bad intentions will definitely come to bully Sister Xiuer and Cheng.

brothers.

…

Gu Jinli had already run more than ten meters away and looked at the resting place. It was at the foot of a big mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was a river that had dried up and only mud was left.

The victims scattered like ants, searching for food at the foot of the mountain, on the mountainside, and even venturing into the mountains.

But the drought continued, and a large number of victims passed by before them, eating almost everything they could eat. When it was their turn, only half-yellow leaves and withered grass were left.

There is no other way. People without food can only pull down leaves, dig grass roots, and peel bark from trees to satisfy their hunger.

Gu Jinli walked around the area and dug up only a dozen grass roots that were still somewhat hydrated, but nothing else edible.

She looked up towards the mountains and saw groups of young men going into the mountains in search of food, and they also walked towards the mountains.

This mountain is very big. There are some semi-withered trees and weeds on the outside of the mountain. When you enter the mountain, there are more trees and the leaves are a little green. There are more weeds than at the bottom of the mountain, but there are no wild vegetables. There are only small dug holes.

.

Obviously, all the wild vegetables here were dug up by the large number of previous victims.

Gu Jinli found a walnut-thick branch nearby, quickly rubbed the two ends of the branch against the stone nearby, and sharpened the pointed head to use it as a weapon. He held the branch and walked towards the mountain. There were many more on the road.

Disaster victims entering the mountains in search of food.

"Xiaoyu, why did you go into the mountains? You just woke up last night, and you came here to look for food today. You kid is going to die."

Gu Xiaoyu heard the sound and turned around to see Mrs. Chu, the third grandmother in the next room, Aunt Tian and Aunt Tian's two daughters, Tian Erhua and Tian Xiaohua. They all carried a basket made of weeds in their hands.

, there were several handfuls of semi-green leaves and bundles of grass roots inside.

It seems that everyone has very little food left and is starting to eat leaves, grass and roots.

She called someone with a smile and replied: "I'm fine now. There's no food at home. Brother Cheng is very hungry. I'll go into the mountains to look for some food."

After hearing this, the three adults sighed, life is hard, God is so cruel.

Tian Erhua and Tian Xiaohua were so hungry that they had no strength and did not speak. They only smiled shyly at her.

The third grandmother was worried that Gu Jinli would meet the Niu brothers again, so she took the initiative and said: "Xiaoyu, you come with us, we will take care of you."

Aunt Tian, ​​Mrs. Chu, and the third grandma were all very close to their family. Gu Jinli was willing to go look for food with them, and nodded: "Okay."

A group of six people walked into the mountain, picking greener leaves along the way and pretending to be away.

Mrs. Chu said: "In front of us are the victims of Xing'an Prefecture, Yongcheng Prefecture, and Daliang Prefecture. A lot of food has been eaten up by them. If we go forward, there will be less and less food on the road. Maybe even the leaves will be gone."
