Lu Ping picked up the millet porridge in the bowl and took a slow sip. Feeling the heat slowly flowing down his throat, he exclaimed with great pleasure - it smells so good!
In front of him, there was a pot of boiling millet porridge, simmering desperately. Unfortunately, it was a long way to get water. Otherwise, if you add some water to it, you can get another bowl for each person.
He only met several of his companions after arriving in Yan'an. To be honest, before that, he didn't care about these people, and he wasn't even interested in asking about their names. When a refugee leaves his homeland, he begins to
After escaping, he saw too many things on the road, enough to dissipate his curiosity as an ordinary person.
Nothing is as important as the bowl of millet porridge in front of me.
When he was sure that in Yan'an Mansion, as long as he worked hard, he would be able to get enough food to survive, Lu Ping made up his mind that he would stay here and not go anywhere.
Although the work here is a bit heavy, he doesn't complain at all. Compared with those who died on the road, he is lucky enough. Just the bowl of golden millet porridge in his hand, if
A month ago, it was completely normal for several people to die fighting for this in the fleeing team he was a part of.
In fact, this was just the beginning. When he left Lujia Village, he did fight with people for a bite to eat. However, soon, the thing he was fighting for changed from food to trees.
Fur roots, even soil, when these things became a luxury, those corpses collapsed on the roadside also became the object of competition.
At that time, he didn't even dare to leave the team in Lujiacun. In a fleeing team, whether he was lost or left behind, it was very likely that this person would never disappear. More than once, he saw other teams using broken tiles to escape.
cans of boiling broth, and more than once I saw gnawed white bones on the roadside.
When those two people met, and they looked at each other the same way they looked at food, their names had no meaning at all.
"Uncle Qi, I want to drink some more!"
A young man next to him spoke timidly, and Lu Ping nodded slowly: "Let's share it with everyone. There will be more tomorrow morning, if we are still here tomorrow morning!"
Several teenagers happily ate the remaining rice porridge in the earthen pot. Lu Ping watched their actions and smiled slightly.
Survived! It’s not easy!
There were nearly 500 people in Lujia Village, and they were the only ones who finally arrived in Yan'an Prefecture. Despite the immature appearance of these young people, he knew clearly that if someone dared to rob them at this time
With the little food left over, a few young men who looked thin and immature would immediately become more vicious than anyone else.
Along the way, those who are not fierce enough or unlucky, no matter how strong they are, will not be able to reach Yan'an Mansion.
"Uncle Qi, it would be great if we could go into the city. I heard from people over there that the government gives porridge every day in the city, and sometimes there are even steamed buns!"
"Yes, I've heard that too, and there's no need to dig a trench!"
"Why, do you hate digging this ditch?" Lu Ping said lazily: "If it weren't for this ditch to block it, the group of guys on the opposite side would have rushed over long ago and would have let you stay here well?"
"If you can't beat them, then join them!" A young man said nonchalantly: "There is so much food in the city. If we really have to rush to the city, we can eat to our heart's content. By then, I will definitely make a lot of delicious white flour pancakes.
, everyone has enough to eat!”
"Think about those people who died in the ditch!" Lu Ping pointed to the dark distance, where the people on the opposite side rushed into battle during the day. Although they were not there, they saw the dead and injured people on the opposite side.
Quite a few.
"Join them, and you will be one of those people rushing in front!" Lu Ping said: "If you really do that, I won't stop you, even if you swing a knife at me, I won't blame you, but you
You have to think about it, even if you can kill me and everyone else, can you really make it to the city?"
"Why should I kill Uncle Qi and Da Wa?" The young man shook his head: "Without you, I would have died a long time ago and been eaten. I won't agree to anyone who wants to kill you!"
"Then what are you thinking about?" Lu Ping said calmly: "Here now, as long as we work, we will have food. We will not die if we are hungry. Even if we fight for the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers have also said that if they can't resist, they will light a fire
With the fire in front of us, we can run to the camp. I think this place is pretty good!"
"Aren't I afraid that we can't resist it?" The young man chuckled: "I also want to have millet porridge to drink and steamed buns to eat every day, but there are so many people across the way and there don't seem to be many officers and soldiers in the city. I really can't resist it.
, isn’t this all gone?”
"You just have a lot to think about!" Lu Ping picked up the spear on the ground and stood up: "I think about what the officials think about, but we have visited many places along the way. Anyway, I am
I haven’t seen a better place than this Yan’an Mansion, you can do whatever you want, I won’t leave anyway!”
"Then let's not leave. Anyway, everyone is following Uncle Qi. Maybe we can all get together and serve as officers and soldiers together?" The young man also stood up: "There are nine of us. According to the officers and soldiers, each of us has three
If you have a head, you can exchange it for food or serve as an officer or soldier. There are so many heads across the way, but they are all food!"
At this point, his eyes flickered: "Uncle Qi, how about we go over and have a look, maybe we can bring back a few heads..."
"Don't seek death!" Lu Ping picked up the spear: "Go over here and follow me around to prevent the other party from touching you. That's the main thing. Also, don't just think about this good thing. Also be on guard against our people. Don't
When the time comes when your own people behead you and you become someone else's food, it won't be worth it for me to do it for you!"
"Hehe!" The young man chuckled and was about to speak when his face suddenly changed slightly: "Uncle Qi, did you hear anything?"
Lu Ping nodded and made a gesture, and the young men around him quietly picked up the spears on the side of the ditch one by one and waited intently.
"It's in front!" Lu Ping said: "Throw a few torches and see if you are passing by or planning to come!"
Following his instructions, several burning wooden sticks from the fire were pulled out, and then they drew an arc in the air and flew in front of them.
The burning wooden sticks fell to the ground and were quickly extinguished. However, before they were extinguished, they saw a group of figures busy doing something in front of the trench.
"Oh no, we're really here!" The young men showed fierce eyes on their faces, holding the spears in their hands and about to rush forward.
"Come back here!" Lu Ping shouted sternly: "Light a fire as a warning, and then run away together!"
