    On the way back, Dalang was in a bad mood because he got too little food.  He was mainly worried that it would become increasingly impossible to obtain food in the future.  Nowadays, there are rumors that refugees from the famine have come to small and remote places like Cuizhu Village.  I'm afraid there really is a small group of refugees who are doing evil everywhere. If you think about it deeply, everything is in chaos from top to bottom.

    The imperial court has lost its control over the local areas. Everyone is doing their own thing and even competing for each other's territory. Just thinking about this kind of life is scary.  No wonder the person sitting on top now in the previous life would be pulled down.

    Dalang thought about these things all the way, carefully recalling what it was like at this time back then?  It's a pity that he was still young back then and was an extremely disliked person in his family, so he had no idea what was going on outside.

    He follows an ancestor¡¯s wife all day long. He is a vegetarian and chants Buddha¡¯s name. He can hardly even go out through the door. He has almost no contact with the outside world. How can he understand these important things?  As a result, now his brain is completely blurry, his eyes are black, and he doesn't understand anything.

    Thinking about it now, Dalang wanted to slap himself a few times. If he hadn't been too weak back then, he would have been raised in the hands of a woman in the inner courtyard of a deep house. He couldn't even leave the door. Although the ancestor's wife protected him with her hand,  In fact, it harmed him.  In the end, when Mrs. Ancestor died, he was quietly sent to the army.  Thinking of these things, Dalang's mood became even worse.

    After resurrecting his life, many things have not happened yet. He originally wanted to let go of his resentment towards the Chen family and pretend that the Chen family no longer existed.  But now these things have aroused his resentment towards the Chen family, and the hatred in his heart made him unintentionally exude a low pressure.

    Xie Sanbo thought that Dalang was in a bad mood simply because he had too little food. In fact, he was not in a good mood either. Everyone was worried about the food.  But he reluctantly told everyone: "It doesn't matter. We will harvest the food ourselves next season, so we won't have to buy food."

    Dalang came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "With that little farmland, how can we have enough food for the people of our village?"

    Ashin and Azhi also calculated in their minds and nodded in agreement. Even if they save more, their family of four will have to eat more than 20 kilograms of grain a month. This is still under the condition of having enough meat and wild vegetables.  If there is neither vegetables nor meat, forty pounds of grain will not be enough.  By comparing their own family's rations, they can also calculate how much food the other three families can eat in a month.  Even if the food for their family of four is not included, the harvest is not enough to feed the three families of the Xie family, Chen family, and Zhang family.

    ¡°Next time, we won¡¯t come here.¡± Xin Hu said.  She thought of the road he and Dalang used to save Aunt Liu and her family.  Maybe if we take that route, the places we can go will be more prosperous, the government management will be better, and we can still buy food with money?

    "That road you mentioned. I don't know how peaceful it is now." Dalang said.  Jiang Dashan and the others took this road to go out, but the three of them were strong men in martial arts, so they left.  This group of people may not be able to leave, right?

    "Let's try it," Xin Hu said.  Since Jiang Dashan and the others have chosen that path, they at least think that is the path with the greatest hope.

    "Okay, let's talk about it another day." Dalang changed the subject.

    Anyway, they won¡¯t be able to go out again in a short time.  The most I can do is hunt nearby and get some meat to take home.  There is no need to go out for ten and a half months like now.  The situation is getting worse and worse, and everyone is thinking more about the people who stay in the village, and the people who stay in the village are also worried about them.

    When Dalang thought of Ping'er and Dabao Amao's tears when they went out, he wanted to go home quickly.  It is indeed not good to leave three children at home.  In fact, children are more sensitive. Although they play with Aunt Liu, Xiao Shitou and A Tu every day, they also understand that we are not a family. Only Dalang and Xin Hu are a family with them.  He likes this feeling of being trusted, relied on, and caring about each other.  Because of this, he felt that everyone was a family.

    "Hey, what does the caravan mean? You are desperately trying to lower the price. It doesn't look like you want to buy bamboo wares, so why are you still here?" Xin Hu reached out and poked Dalang's shoulder, asking curiously.

    That¡¯s what it looks like if you don¡¯t want to do business.  Although the villagers had no choice but not to sell to them, in the long run, this cooperation would definitely not be sustainable.

    She just doesn¡¯t understand. Generally speaking, as long as there is profit, the caravan shouldn¡¯t have such an attitude. Moreover, it seems that this caravan has a great background and is very powerful.  Not only do they monopolize local business, but they also prevent them from going to the county town to do business. They must be colluding with the government.

    Are they doing business, or are they doing business under the guise of doing business?  Or what are you doing around outside under the pretext of starting a business?  So?, I realized that I was very tired, so I quickly untied the things on my back and sat down to rest.

    Dalang and Xinhu were not tired, so they went to fetch water and firewood for cooking.

    "Ah Hu, what are you doing?" Dalang came back from collecting firewood and had already lit a fire. He didn't see Xin Hu coming back from fetching water yet, so he shouted hurriedly.  He thought Xinhu was patronizing and washed him. Xinhu loved to be clean and would try his best to get some water to wash himself even when he went out.  She has been out for several days, and the sun is nice today and the weather is hot. Maybe she will secretly take the opportunity to scrub herself.

    "I'll be here right away and get some wild vegetables." Xin Hu said as he walked towards them.  I just saw a bunch of fresh wild vegetables over there, so I picked a few.  It¡¯s getting harder and harder to buy food now, so it¡¯s better to eat sparingly.

    Eating a thick batter with only a little salt and a lot of wild vegetables, Dalang sighed: "We still have to catch some rabbits on the road, there is no meat at all, how can we fill our stomachs."

    "That's right. Just drinking wild vegetables will make you hungry soon." Xie Sanbo also said.  In the past few days, because wild rabbits were available every day, everyone ate a lot of meat, but now it was really hard to swallow eating only wild vegetables.

    "Okay." Xin Hu reluctantly swallowed the mush in his mouth, wishing he could get some wild rabbits to eat now.  It was too unpalatable. Although the wild vegetables were very tender, they had no oil or water at all and were not tasty at all.

    Brothers A Xin and A Zhi just held a big bowl and ate the mush. This kind of meal was already very good for them. They couldn't think of getting some more meat. They still ate happily.  There was still some left in the pot, but Xin Hu, Dalang, and Xie Sanbo didn't add any more.

    Dalang said directly: "You guys divide it up. We are full." In fact, it was not that we were full, but that none of the three of them could eat.

    Ashin and Azhi were not polite. They divided some of the small bowls left in the pot. After finishing the meal, they picked up everyone's bowls and chopsticks and carried the pot to wash.

    Xinhu Dalang was holding a bow and arrow, looking around, hoping to find a rabbit so that he could have another meal.

    Over there, Ah believed the two brothers Ah Zhi, but found fish in the river where they were washing pots and dishes, and quickly ran back to get the basket.

    "Let's go get some fish to eat." They also noticed that Dalang and the other three were not full just now.

    After a while, the two of them got five palm-sized crucian carp and some miscellaneous small fish.  After hearing that they had caught the fish, everyone went over and started working together. They quickly packed up the fish and dug some wild onions.  Xinhu cooked another large pot of fish soup, and everyone was full.

    The fish soup only added salt and wild onions. It didn¡¯t taste very good, but it was much better than the mushy wild vegetables just now.  Xinhu drank a large bowl and ate two crucian carp.

    After eating and drinking, Azhi said: "Oh, San Bo, you ran really fast just now."

    "Hey, I just saw that the weather was good and I wanted to go home quickly. If it rains like last time, it will be in trouble." Xie Sanbo said embarrassedly.

    He was also very tired. He carried the heaviest thing on his back, which included two medium-sized bamboo tables and two chairs.  It was difficult to place these things. They tried many ways, but they only tied four middle chairs and eight chairs to the horse's back.  They had to carry the rest by themselves. He and Ashin Azhi each carried two middle ones, and he also carried two more chairs.

    Dalang and Xinhu rested all the way, and then asked to come down and go. They wanted Xie Sanbo to ride the horse for a while and take a rest.

    Even though Xie Sanbo was willing, A Xin and A Zhi were not willing to do it, so Xinhu had no choice but to ask Xie Sanbo to give her a chair and let her sit on the horse with her back on her back.  Anyway, she was just sitting, she didn't have to walk by herself, and it wasn't too tiring to carry something on her back.  Dalang also thought this method was good, and said: "You carry it on your back first, and then switch with me when you get tired."

    When Dalang was sitting in front and controlling the horse, Xin Hu was carrying a chair behind him.  On the other hand, when Xin Hu was controlling the horse in front, Dalang was sitting behind her carrying a chair.  This can be regarded as reducing Xie Sanbo's burden somewhat.  Originally, it was no problem for Xin Hu to carry two chairs on her back, but the chairs were so big that it was really difficult to carry them. Carrying one chair was barely feasible, but she had no choice but to carry another chair.  After all, the chair was bigger than her and took up too much space.

    In fact, it was very uncomfortable to carry the chair like this. After a while, Xin Hu felt a sharp pain on her back. She twisted and changed several positions, but she still felt uncomfortable.

    It would be better to get more horses. Xin Hu tried his best to ignore the pain of the chair pinching him, while thinking that he must get more horses in the future. As long as he goes out, no one should have to carry things on foot.  We need everyone to have a horse to ride and not be so tired.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
