In the first month or two, Xiaodouzi and the others could barely survive. However, as the drought became more and more serious, as some wealthy businessmen in the town began to flee, and as a large number of refugees began to appear.
Everyone knows that something is wrong.
Ordinary civilians are almost out of food.
Who would give alms to beggars?
In the past, some restaurants might leave some leftovers for them, but now there are almost no leftovers in those restaurants. Even if there are, they are all taken care of by the restaurant employees.
There will be nothing left for them to eat.
So it is naturally more difficult for Xiaodouzi to survive.
In the end, I still felt sorry for myself and brought them all to the small courtyard where I lived. I spent all my money on food and bought a lot of high-priced food. I wanted to use this food to spend time with all the children. This disaster.
¡° But they all underestimated the length of the drought.
Also underestimated the madness of human nature.
With the drought lasting more than four months, everyone was completely disappointed with the harvest in the fields, and the town began to flee. At this time, the powerful people had already fled, and even the county magistrate had resigned. He hurriedly fled with his family.
The rest are mostly ordinary people.
??Or can barely be called a rich peasant.
In fact, the most reluctant people in the local area are some rich farmers. The rich and powerful may not only own real estate in this area, or even if they do not sell the real estate, they may have money to survive in other places, buy another piece of land, and then bring it back when the drought is over. Just get the land deed and take back the fields.
There is no field in my hand, or there is no field in my hand, or they are hiring farmers themselves. When they find that the situation is inappropriate, many of them directly dragged their families and begged the south to discuss life.
"As long as you are neither above nor below and have land, you won't be particularly poor, but you won't be particularly rich either.
They are particularly reluctant to part with their fields.
I am afraid that I will be gone if I leave Tian.
So they kept insisting on not leaving. Even though some rivers had dried up, they were still scrambling to dig wells and fish out the last bucket of water from the mountains and wells, trying to clear out the rice seedlings and rice seedlings that were almost completely dried up in the fields. Miao was saved again.
But these are all useless efforts.
Four months later, they had to admit that they could not save this season's food, but at this time, even if they wanted to sell their fields and leave, no one would buy them.
Because all the really rich people have fled.
If everyone leaves at this time, there will be even less things to take away, and even drinking water along the way will be a problem. Moreover, the previous group of farmhands who left earlier may have returned the food that was easier to find along the way. Most of the delicious grass roots have been eaten up. When the remaining people go on the road again, those who have stocks can still eat some of the stocks they brought with them. Those who don¡¯t have stocks can only eat bark and wait to starve to death or break their limits and commit evil. eat human.
At this time, the original body also had to run south with the remaining food and children because the only well in the yard dried up completely.
"She is a woman with a group of underage children and a lot of food. How can she not attract the attention of others? At a critical moment of life and death, what kind of etiquette and morality is there?
The original body was robbed without any surprise.
If it weren¡¯t for a few kind-hearted help.
Their lives may not be saved.
But even so, the original person and the twenty-one children were basically at their wits end. After that, they no longer dared to get together with the crowd. They only dared to sneak away from the crowd and follow them.
Along the way, the original person would often go out and sell some trinkets such as jewelry he was carrying. Although he could not exchange for much food, he could at least give everyone something to eat so that they would not starve to death.
?Then he followed other victims.
Let¡¯s dig up the roots of the grass and look for the bark.
To barely maintain life.
Because the original person was hungry all the time, she didn't know whether she was too hungry. Anyway, she tried to eat as little as possible. She only ate a little bit every day, then she said she was full and basically gave away everything she could find. Those kids.
After that, I was always hungry.
I accidentally starved to death.
Before he died, he still thought about those children.
It was only later that there was the traction of the trees.
As for the current state of the world.
It¡¯s obviously not much better.
If things were going well, there would be no drought for six months and no disaster relief.
In the memory of the original person, Emperor Yuanhe, who was only twelve years old, was in power now, and the Queen Mother was regent at this time. At the same time, there seemed to be disasters everywhere in the country, and many aristocratic families were divided. After the collapse of Qian Di, the entire country has not been peaceful. If the area they were in was not relatively desolate, it is estimated that they might have fallen into chaos before the drought came.
¡°In short, this is a troubled time.
As for whether this is the end of the dynasty.
It¡¯s hard to say about this tree either.
Because although the situation in various places was relatively chaotic at this time, the general trend of the court was relatively stable.
And there are millions of troops on all sides of the country.
At this time, the counterinsurgency has been effective.
In addition, this dynasty has only been established for one hundred and sixty-eight years, so it is difficult to say whether this is a calamity of mid-term decline or a calamity of decline.
It depends on whether a wise king or wise minister is born.
If there is, it will decline, or even revive.
¡°No, that¡¯s the calamity of decline.
After learning about these situations, Qiao Mu immediately understood that this hill might not be too safe, and they had to go to a more remote place.
Because according to Qiao Mu¡¯s history and the various situations he has experienced in the past, the severe drought in these six months will not end easily. Even if it will be relieved after winter, it will not be relieved the next year.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and and this is just the best possible.
The worst possible scenario is a drought for several years.
This kind of thing has never happened.
But no matter which possibility it is, it is already the time for the autumn harvest. If there is no more disaster relief grain money, then this place, and even all drought areas, will inevitably set off an extremely large peasant uprising army.
The situation will definitely be even more chaotic by then.
Once you are accidentally dragged in.
It will be difficult to escape.
So Qiao Mu had to prepare early.
Try to go as far and as remote as possible.
Go to a place where no one is around.
After all, she has children with her.
We cannot afford so many disasters and shocks.
Because Qiao Mu thought a lot and made a lot of plans alone that night, it was naturally a little more difficult to get up the next day. It wasn't until Xiaodouzi and the others finally collected a small bowl of dew after they went out that Qiao Mu opened his eyes.
Seeing that they were all there, Qiao Mu immediately called Xiaodouzi and the others over and began to say:
"Xiaodouzi, we have to go to a more remote place so that we can be safer. You don't need to worry about food. The gods left a lot for me.
It¡¯s enough for us to eat all the way.
Our most important thing now is safety.
The rarer the human presence, the safer we are.
