Although he was unable to properly arrange the funeral for Aunt Chen, Chen Dalang still stayed with Xin Hu here for three days for his mother before reluctantly leaving. It's really because they can't do it if they don't leave. The weather is getting colder and colder. If it snows and you can't find a place to stay, you will either freeze to death or starve to death sooner or later.
Before leaving, Chen Dalang took Xin Hu and said in front of his mother's grave: "Mom, we are leaving here and will see you again in the future."
Xin Hu didn¡¯t know where to go. Besides, he had only met Chen Dalang in the past few days. If he didn¡¯t follow him, he really didn¡¯t know what he would do. Moreover, Chen Dalang does not look like a nine-year-old child at all, he is surprisingly mature. She believed that this man would be able to help her survive. So when Dalang proposed marriage, she agreed immediately without much thought.
However, she believes that when they grow up, it won't be a big problem no matter which of them doesn't want to get married. Anyway, no one else witnessed the engagement. It¡¯s actually very easy to break up a marriage. Didn¡¯t ancient people pay great attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers? They decided on their own marriage, which was actually very against the rules.
The two silently picked up their bags and climbed onto the road carefully. Before they could take a breath, they witnessed a vicious robbery and murder. The two groups of men and horses fought together, and several people fell on the ground. There was blood everywhere on the road, showing the heavy casualties. They were so frightened that they hurriedly came down the hillside again. Two and a half-year-old children must be good targets for robbery. Chen Dalang didn't expect that after just a few days of work, he couldn't walk on this road.
"What should I do? It's too scary." Xin Hu asked worriedly.
Fortunately, the two of them are smart and small. If the gang just now saw them, they would probably lose their lives here. Xin Hu patted her frightened little heart, and secretly cursed a few times, "God damn it, my mother brought her to this hellish place. Not only did she not have enough food and clothing, but she was also worried about herself all the time." little life. This is not a good compensation for her, it makes me cry just talking about it.
In the past few days, she was very worried that the two of them would be killed by bad guys before they could find a place to stay. What's more, they were carrying three big baggage. Isn't this an obvious target?
But she was so unfamiliar with this place, and the weather was getting colder day by day. Even though she put on the thick coat that Dalang gave her, she still felt cold. If it snows, can they survive outside?
Chen Dalang looked at the gloomy sky and was in a bad mood. It took him a long time before he said: "Let's go, let's not go forward, let's just go to the mountains. Find a place to live first, and then talk about it after the winter."
Because he knew very well that in these days, the city ahead would no longer accept these people who were fleeing. And as the situation becomes more and more serious, more and more people will die, large-scale killings, looting, and even cannibalism will occur. Eventually a plague broke out.
In his memory, few people who fled to the vicinity of Fucheng were able to enter the city alive. Most of them were locked up outside the city. Regardless of whether they were sick or not, they were heavily guarded by the government and burned with fire. Bare. The chances of actually surviving are only nine out of ten.
"Aren't we just two of us afraid of wild beasts in the mountains? And we have no food, not even a quilt, how can we survive?" Xin Hu asked in return.
"There is always a way. Maybe I can meet a hunter in the mountain at the foot of the mountain. I still have some money, so I can survive. Otherwise, I have to wait to be eaten." Chen Dalang said.
There is no other way for him to do this, but it is easier than struggling to survive with a bunch of people on the road. Anyway, he believed that with his ability and Xin Hu's strange strength, he should be able to survive. You can find some prey no matter what in the mountains, and you won't starve to death.
Xin Hu didn¡¯t object anymore because she couldn¡¯t think of a better way than him, and she was also afraid of facing those terrible things.
She also understands that when humans lose their limits, they will eat people. It is not easy for weak people to survive in troubled times. They are just two half-year-old children. No matter how good they are, no matter how strong they are, they can't compare to adult men. She doesn't want to be used as food by others. Even if it is eaten by a wild beast, it is better than entering a human stomach.
The two began to walk along the winding path toward the mountain. Neither of them knew the road, so they could only walk in the direction of the mountain. Eat some rice cereal when you're hungry, and drink some cold water when you're thirsty. When you are tired, just find a place to rest that is sheltered from the wind and rain. Especially at night, when it was freezing cold, the two of them had to hug each other tightly to fall asleep. At first, Xin Hu was embarrassed, but later he discovered that Chen Dalang was also afraid. The two hugged each other unconsciously and didn't care anymore.
It¡¯s not easy to survive in the wild, especially in the dark night, listenThe howling north wind, the squeaking of dead branches and grass, even though the two of them were wearing children's skins, they were still scared in this environment.
Chen Dalang has quite a few things he brought with him. He has a big oilcloth. When sleeping, he puts half of it on the ground and half of it to cover himself, which can resist some wind and cold. However, even so, they wrapped all their thick clothes as quilts and still felt cold. Xinhu estimated that the temperature this night was around five degrees. Therefore, every night, the two of them could only hug each other tightly, keeping each other warm and relying on each other.
Relying on the things Chen Dalang brought, at least for now, the two of them can survive. After all, they have food and thick clothes. They are usually on the road during the day. Before dark, they will find a safe place to collect some firewood and cook together the wild vegetables and rice paste they occasionally get along the way. If they get a lot of wild vegetables, they will cook a pot of wild vegetable soup alone. Chen Dalang brought a bag of refined salt in his baggage, which weighed about three kilograms. The two of them should eat sparingly, and they should be able to eat it for a long time.
There is no pollution in this era. Although we did not see big rivers or large pools along the way, even in small puddles, the water is still very clean and the land is fertile. There were many wild places along the way, and they found a small amount of edible wild fruits. Of course, Xinhu didn't know many things. It was Chen Dalang who said she could eat them, so she dared to eat them.
Although these wild fruits and vegetables are not very delicious, the wild vegetables and fruits are out of season this season, and there are still very few. They also treat it as a treasure and don't let go of it at all. It is much better to supplement with this kind of food than to eat rice cereal every day. Xinhu's own mouth is rotten, and Chen Dalang is also starting to rot. This is a typical symptom of vitamin deficiency. These wild fruits and vegetables can supplement them with vitamins and nutrients, while also reducing food consumption.
Ten days have passed. Considering their walking distance and the path was not easy to walk, they didn't go far, but they had lost more than half of their food. If it hadn't been for this season, Chen Dalang wouldn't have chosen to go to the mountains, but he didn't plan to actually go to the mountains. He just wanted to try his luck at the foot of the mountain to see if he could find a small village and settle down first. With their current abilities, they didn't dare to go to the deep mountains. If they encountered a fierce beast, there would be no way to escape.
In just these ten days, Xin Hu has cursed God countless times in his heart. This hellish place was so poor that they had neither food nor clothing. All the food they had was just a packet of rice cereal and a packet of salt. The weapons were just a murder weapon, a woodcutter, and a pair of scissors left behind by his mother. Plus some thick clothes and an oilcloth. As for whether Zhang Dalang had any money on him, she didn't care too much, and even if there was money, she probably didn't recognize it. And what can you buy here with money?
This was really pitiful for them. Although it was cold, it never rained. If it rained, she couldn't imagine how they would survive. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
