Fang Yu and others, who were dozens of miles away from Fangjia Village at this time, naturally had no idea what was happening in Fangjia Village.
Fang Sanduo's decisiveness allowed them to escape.
At this time, they were still on their way under the scorching sun.
In the blink of an eye, they had been on the run for more than half a month.
Compared to the beginning, these people who were originally clean were now covered in plaster.
They also wore leaf hats made of woven leaves on their heads, and their bodies were covered with cracked mud.
This is for sun protection.
This method is what Old Man Cao said.
This old man Cao is the old man who once experienced a famine.
The famine that this old man encountered decades ago was coincidentally also a drought. These were some survival skills that he remembered deeply. He did not expect that he would be able to use them a second time in his life!
It's just that this time he doesn't have the body he had when he was young, and even he himself has no confidence that he can survive this time.
However, he felt that he had lived enough. He had already looked away from being alone and living for a few more days. His mentality was the most relaxed among the team except Fang Yu.
No, it should be easier than Fang Yu.
Because Fang Yu still has to worry about his uncle and aunt.
Wearing a leaf hat can effectively cool down the brain and avoid heatstroke when blocking out sunlight.
The plaster on my body is clean river mud found in the river.
According to Old Man Cao's instructions, they dug the kind that was delicate and sticky.
This kind of river mud feels a bit cold when applied to the skin. When it is applied to the face, Fang Yu even feels like she is wearing a facial mask.
After the whole body was coated with river mud, the sunlight under the scorching sun was blocked by this layer of mud, successfully protecting one's own body temperature and moisture.
Although after the river mud dries, it is still a bit hot when exposed to the sun, but with this layer of mud armor, at least the skin will not be damaged by direct radiation, and it can also effectively reduce the heat, so that you will not suffer from heat stroke.
This is how having an elder in a family is like having a treasure.
Old Man Cao's valuable experience allowed Fang Yu and others to successfully rely on this method to completely leave Jiaoling County and enter the Chenyang area.
Later, they encountered victims fleeing from other areas in this area.
Compared to Fang Yu and the others, they had just begun to flee the famine. Because they were located in the center of the disaster, they fled the famine much earlier than Fang Yu and the others. When they arrived, they were all as skinny as wood and as black as coke.
Their bodies were also covered with mud, obviously this trick was not unique to Old Man Cao.
But this is normal. This survival technique of escaping from famine will always be passed down by someone. When escaping from famine, everyone basically ends up in the same way. It is normal to meet and support each other on the way.
Just like now, although everyone did not know each other, after meeting a team that was obviously fleeing, everyone gathered together silently.
Looking at these people who were also fleeing famine, Fang Yu was extremely shocked.
From their understanding, they have been on the run for more than two months.
At its largest scale, there were thousands of people fleeing together!
What is the concept of thousands of people fleeing famine?
It really means that there is no grass growing along the way!
The areas they passed through were all drought-stricken areas, so while the river on Fang Yu's side still had half of its surface, the river on their side had almost exposed its bed.
In the river, those fish and shrimps that had no time to escape from the tributaries and enter the main river were lingering in this shallow beach.
Drought is a natural disaster. During natural disasters, it is not only humans who need to take refuge. Animals and plants in the forest will also migrate due to lack of food. Fish and shrimps in the river will also choose to go upstream and enter the main river to survive due to the depletion of water flow.
Those in the modern world who say why they didn’t hunt or catch fish because they had nothing to eat due to drought in ancient times have the same meaning as “why not eat minced meat”.
Animals are often much more sensitive to natural disasters than humans.
When a drought is approaching, some animals sense the weather changes and often migrate very early.
Therefore, when a drought comes, after observing the mountains and forests in many drought-stricken areas, you will find that many wild beasts in the past have lost their footprints.
This is very reasonable.
Drought causes plants to wither and die. Herbivores will migrate if they have no food to eat, and carnivores will run away if they have no meat to eat.
Because fish and shrimp in the river are in the water, their perception of temperature is not as strong as those on the shore. They often only choose to move when the river dries up.
But those who successfully escape are basically some big fish and flexible and slender small fish. The number of small fish, shrimps and unlucky big fish that can be left behind is limited.
And these fish and shrimps can only support these victims for no more than three days at most.
It’s not that there are fewer fish and shrimps, but that these fish and shrimps often die faster than humans.
When the river water dries up to a certain extent, the oxygen supply in the water is insufficient, and the water temperature is too high, these fish and shrimps will die in large numbers.
The death of fish and shrimp is not only a lack of food, but also pollution of water sources. This makes it even worse for the victims fleeing famine.
Once they encounter a water source contaminated by fish and shrimp, they have to trek countless miles along the river to find some water sources that have not dried up and are not polluted.
And those fleeing who were unable to find a water source fell even earlier.
The funny thing is, whether it is a famine caused by a drought or a flood, more people often die because of water rather than food.
Don't think that flooding means there is too much water.
On the contrary, floods pollute water sources even more!
After every flood, the water sources involved are more or less contaminated, and those victims who drink sewage without knowing it often die from diseases caused by the ingestion of sewage.
However, at that time, the spread of health knowledge was not in place, and there were even fewer doctors who knew about it. Even if they knew it, they could not spread it to everyone. This led to the death of these people. Not many people could think that it was because they drank what looked like
The sewage was clear but full of bacteria, and people were infected one after another, completely unable to stop it.
Therefore, these people who traveled from Yongtai, Changyuan, and Liutong and arrived in Chenyang experienced countless hells in just two or three months.
Their numbers tend to fluctuate.
Once there are thousands of people gathered together, and then they walk together for a while, some of them will fall down, and then they will continue to die after walking for a while.
After it is reduced by more than half, other large-scale disaster victims will gather and gather again.
In this way, the hundreds of people who arrived in Chenyang basically joined in the later stages. The victims who joined some time ago have been buried under the dust during this journey. No one knows about it, and no one knows about it.
Worship and become a lonely ghost wandering the world.
Although the information brought by the influx of these people made people like Fang Yu who later started to escape panic and despair, they still brought some good news.
From the information they brought, Fang Yu formed a complete escape route in his mind.
Chenyang is also affected by the drought. It has been experiencing drought for almost a month, and the situation is similar to Jiaoling County.
Next, they will continue to pass through Chenyang, enter Xichuan, go around the edge of Xichuan, and enter Dongyi County.
Dongyi County is their ultimate goal.
It is already considered the southern region. It is said that the drought will only affect Xichuan at most. After passing Xichuan, it is equivalent to the scope of successfully escaping from the drought.
And among these three regions.
Chenyang is just an ordinary Linnan area with nothing special about it, but some people heard that a man named Bishop Ling set up a relief area in this area to distribute food to the famine-stricken people.
The people who gathered with them held on to this belief until Chenyang.
Although this information has no evidence, they can only believe it.
Xichuan is one of the most special areas in Chu State.
Xichuan is on the map of Dachu, just across from the Xiliang Plain. After Fang Yu and the others entered Xichuan, if they chose to go straight instead of taking a detour, they would pass through Xichuan and lead directly to Xiliang and arrive at the Xiliang Plain.
Passing through the Xiliang Plain, you can reach the territory of the Dawan clan.
Prince Chang's Prince Chang's Mansion was built on the border of Xichuan to guard Xiliang.
Dongyi County is a grain-producing area in the south. It has always been famous for its wind and rain, making it like spring all year round. It is an ideal hometown in the hearts of disaster victims.
As long as you get to Dongyi County, you can successfully pass the customs and survive this time on your escape route.
This process will take close to three months at least.
Three months!
Fang Yu couldn't believe how many people would still be alive by then.
Not to mention anything else, even for himself, these three months have been a test.
Due to food reasons, he was unable to obtain sufficient energy supplements, which resulted in him being unable to exercise his body.
Along the way, the most energy they gained came from the fish meat eaten more than ten days ago.
Although the fish in those rivers only provided them with food for less than three days.
In the river going forward, there are basically only a few puddles and some fish and shrimp that were left exposed and sunburned to death on the river bed after the water evaporated before they had time to escape.
Not only were these fish and shrimps inedible, they also made the river bed smell so bad that every time I went down to the river bed to dig out mud, the smell made me retch.
Because there are no fish and shrimps, they can only eat the rice that they saved before.
Due to the scarcity of water sources, even if they are extremely hungry, they sometimes have to wait until they find water before they can cook.
However, human beings' thirst for water comes faster than hunger.
It was obviously to avoid famine, but in the end, they were looking for water along the way.
Fortunately, the further along the river, the wider the river and the more water sources they could find. They persevered all the way, and no one was left behind.
It was only after they met the rendezvous of refugees that they realized how lucky they were to be able to find water smoothly along the way.
Fortunately, after entering the Chenyang area, the originally dry river gradually began to have a lot of puddles or water flow.
Judging by the trend of getting closer and closer to the Chu River as we go further, there should be no problem with the water source at least for the time being, and we might even be able to get some fish to eat in it.
However, at this time, the river channels close to the Chu River are basically relatively wide and deep.
It is estimated that after officially entering the main area of Chenyang, once the water flow resumes, the depth and width will be more like feeding fish if they rely on their current physical strength and conditions to fish.
Therefore, Fang Yu is not optimistic about whether he can obtain food in the river in the future.
However, they had said before that there were people in Chenyang District relieving the victims. This was good news. Regardless of whether it was true or not, keeping this hope was at least quenching one's thirst and allowing people to persevere for a while longer.
Bishop Spirit?
This was the second time that Fang Yu heard about this church from others.
The first time it was said by Old Man Cao, it corresponded to the group of Taoist priests who passed by them before.
The second time I learned about it was from the mouths of these victims.
If this Holy Spirit Bishop is really doing something and is still helping the victims, then this Holy Spirit Bishop can be considered a good sect.
Although the name was a bit out of place, Fang Yu thought that this was ancient times after all, so it seemed okay to be named after a spiritual master.
Wasn’t there still Catholicism in the original world?
There's nothing wrong with having a spiritual bishop here, right?
Reasonable.
Seeing that her aunt and uncle's eyes had become sunken and the outline of their eye sockets formed, Fang Yu also felt secretly anxious in her heart.
Along the way, Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei did not think about Fang Yu's imagination, choosing to give up on themselves or take other actions when encountering danger.
Along the way, because of these difficulties, Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei took even more care of him.
Remember those two chickens I brought with me before?
On the fifth day of their escape, the two chickens died under Fang Sanduo's knife.
Find out the reason.
They eat too much...
It was originally intended to be used as a food reserve, but who knew that after feeding almost three taels of rice in these five days, the two chickens were still sick and looked half-dead.
Three or two meters!
This was their ration for the past two days.
There is a shortage of food now. If we continue to feed them, they will probably survive, but one of Fang Yu and the others will die.
So, in the end, under the joint decision of Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei, Fang Sanduo took the two chickens to a deserted place and killed them directly during a lunch break.
After returning, Fang Yu could still smell the bloody smell in his mouth.
He killed the chicken and drank its blood.
Under such circumstances, it was obviously impossible for him to waste the precious energy of chicken blood.
When he left, he took a basket with him, which contained two chickens and an earthen pot.
When I came back, there was one less chicken in the basket and one more can of chicken soup.
The three of them secretly covered the eyes of others and ate all the chicken soup.
Although the boiled chicken tastes very bland, it is really no less than a delicious dish for three people.
One is to be killed, and two are to be killed.
Now that the rooster is gone, the hens will be on their way the next day.
When it was decided not to feed, the hens were almost dead the next day.
Both chickens were finally freed by Fang Sanduo's knife. If they were destined, Fang Yu wished that they could turn into winged birds in the sky and twigs on the ground, no matter what.
Don’t be a chicken again in your next life.
Most of the two portions of chicken soup were eaten by Fang Yu.
Although Fang Yu also tried to resist and wanted Huang Mei and Fang Sanduo to eat more, the two of them were very determined.
In order not to attract other people's attention, Fang Yu did not dare to make too big a move, and in the end had no choice but to accept the kindness of the two.
Just when he ate it, the chicken seemed to immediately become a part of his heart, giving Fang Yu a heavy feeling in his heart.
Indescribable.
After eating the chicken, Fang Yu's body immediately became stronger.
But it’s really just a few points, a perfect score of 100.
If you want to make up for the shortfall that you have suffered since childhood, you can make up for it with just a few meals. Unless you have eaten some heavenly material and earthly treasure, you are just dreaming.
At most, after strengthening part of his physique, he has enough energy to support his body to explode beyond the limit of strength for a longer period of time, that's all.
In other words, it means that the duration of Fang Yu's ultimate move is enhanced.
Others haven't changed much.
But at least, with this trump card, Fang Yu can at least ensure the personal safety of the three of them from being violated, except for food.
When Fang Yu and the others had eaten only one-third of the grain bags in their hands, it was already the 35th day of their escape.
A month has passed.
But the journey is still far away.
The rice grain in hand can only last for another half month at most.
In half a month, Fang Yu and the others will truly run out of ammunition and food.
The food crisis is finally here...
