That night, after everyone had a simple meal, Liu Xingzhi took Old Man Liu and Uncle Liu and sat down in front of Mr. Liu, obviously he had something to say.
Seeing him like this, Liu Sanye vaguely guessed something and sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Third Grandpa, my family doesn't have much food. There is no way to waste it on waiting. Tomorrow morning, my second uncle's family and my Xu family will set off to the south. Although we will detour for a while, when I look at the mountains in the distance,
The leaves are turning green, which may mean there is no water shortage.
We plan to walk from the mountains. If that doesn’t work, we will spend the winter in the mountains and wait for spring before moving forward!
As for the others, if they are traveling together, I will help take care of them, otherwise, there is nothing I can do!"
They didn't want to separate unless they had to. But now it was obvious that someone wanted to take the second path, and he had no choice.
Furthermore, the mountain road is difficult to travel, and he can't guarantee anything. He can only rely on each family's choice!
Hearing what he said, several companies that had been somewhat controversial stopped and seemed to be thinking about the possibility of taking the mountain road.
Yun Xi pulled a piece of weed and played with it in his hand, and said in confusion: "You gave a few people a chance to survive, and those few people took the lives of everyone before they left. If they can't bear it, they won't be able to bear it right away."
Just crazy.
Even if you have good endurance, every day in the future, you have to think, this is what my parents and uncles sacrificed their lives for, can they really live like this?"
As soon as these words came out, several suppressed cries came to mind. For example, the strong man of the Li family couldn't help crying, not to mention some teenagers who had never been separated from their families and thought about living alone in the future.
The heartache is unbearable.
"Also, have you ever thought about it, after all the money is given to the bandits and robbers, how will they live when they enter the emperor's territory? Each of our families may not be able to survive for a few days. If we are still hungry after that,
If you die, you might as well die together!" Yun Xi rolled his eyes, wondering what they were struggling with.
She really couldn't understand what these people were thinking. At the moment, in her opinion, there was actually only one way, which was through the mountains and forests.
Although there is definitely danger, and unlike the mountain forests they passed through before, where there were almost no grass left, the next step they are going to take is a real mountain forest with grass and shrubs, and there will also be many snakes, insects, rats, and ants hidden in it.
, and may even die at any time.
But it cannot be denied that in this case there is more food to eat. If they find water again, they have basic protection.
In addition, the Liu family is originally a hunter and spends a lot of time in the mountains. Other families, such as the Xu family, although they do not make a living by hunting, they often go into the mountains and forests.
With so many people, the chance of survival is still higher than the chance of death.
They have no food and limited money. Even if they really cross Fengwei Mountain, they will still have a hard time behind.
This is already the case, why should we be pretentious and compete to see who can live longer? Is it necessary?
The corner of Liu Xingzhi's mouth twitched and he glanced at Yun Xi, with a hint of helplessness.
"You girl, why do you say everything?" Mrs. Ma pulled her sleeves and whispered: "Although you mean well, if something happens later, they will not blame you. Let them take this idea by themselves.
!”
She said she lowered her voice, but it was really quite loud. It was obviously meant for those families to hear.
Yun Xi touched her nose. In fact, she knew she shouldn't say more, but seeing them like that, she couldn't help it.
"His second aunt, don't blame Yun Yatou!" Mrs. Li sighed and said: "I have lived for most of my life and I haven't had a little girl to see clearly. Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, it will be my own decision.
!”
After speaking, he patted Li Heshi's hand and said distressedly: "Don't think too much, no matter life or death, our family will be together!"
As soon as these words came out, the two children of the Li family also cried together. They still didn't know what death was, and the only thing they thought about was to be with their parents.
"You're right, it's all decided by my family, let's take the third option!" Liu Yi also figured it out, walked to Liu Xingzhi's side with his son, and said with a smile: "Those incompetent people in my family, San'er,
You help me train a little bit, and when it’s time to spank me, if you don’t obey me, you come to me, and I will fix it, your uncle!”
The remaining two families couldn't say anything when they saw everyone following Liu Xingzhi.
The most precious child of Liu Zhong's family is the thirteen-year-old son. Originally, the old couple wanted to take their son to Fengwei Mountain, and the three daughters lined up. Now that everyone is doing this, it doesn't seem good to leave their daughters behind.
.
"Uncle Zhong, if you want to go to Fengwei Mountain, we can send you there later!" Liu Xingzhi saw his thoughts and said calmly: "Yun is just talking casually, it must be you who make the decision.
As a family member, Uncle Zhong is so old that he must not be the kind to change his mind when someone tells him!"
"What did your third nephew say?" Liu Zhong said sarcastically, as if his thoughts had been read.
Seeing this, Yun Xi rolled his eyes speechlessly and said mockingly: "I refuse moral kidnapping. If you find me because of this matter in the future, you will have to ask me if I want the knife in my hand!"
She speaks out of good intentions, but if she takes her words as a talisman and blames her if something goes wrong, then I'm sorry, she can show them her methods.
"Dad, let's go to Fengwei Mountain. I can't leave for a month!"
Liu Zhong's only son, Liu Baobao, shouted, "When my eldest sister got married, didn't she give the family a lot of money? Isn't it enough to go to Fengwei Mountain?"
Liu Zhong looked at his three daughters with some embarrassment. In addition to his married eldest daughter Liucao, he also had three daughters, Liu Ercao, Liu Sancao, and Liu Xiaocao.
The oldest is fifteen years old and the youngest is three. The palms and backs of my hands are all fleshy, how can I fix them?
"Dad, you, your brother and your mother should go to Fengwei Mountain. I will take my sisters and follow Grandpa Three!" Just as he was struggling, Liu Ercao suddenly walked out, knelt in front of him and said, "I just want to ask Dad.
Give us three days of food rations, and when we get to the mountains, we can find food on our own!"
After the words fell, Liu Sancao and his sister knelt down together.
Yun Xi looked at the past few days with some amusement. From the original owner's few memories, he could tell that Liu Zhong and his wife, although they had no bad intentions, were extremely patriarchal.
We can tell from the names that the four daughters are nothing but the son, and only the son is the treasure. I heard before that the eldest daughter of his family was sold by him for money.
It is said that he was only sixteen years old at the time and was sold to a hawker walking around the streets. The hawker seemed to be about the same age as Liu Zhong and was missing an eye. However, he had money in his hand and it is said that he gave thirty taels to marry him.
After that, I heard that no one in the village had seen Liu Dacao again!
The old couple probably still have a lot of money left in their hands from back then. Coupled with their previous family wealth, it is still possible to cross Fengwei Mountain.
