When Gu Dashan heard Qi Yi's words, he knew that Qi Yi was helping his family and not letting their family attract the attention of the villagers, so he took food and water.
Qi Yi handed a small cloth bag to Gu Jinli, and said: "This is a thank you gift from my wife. He is very grateful to you for saving the child, but now he is too weak to thank you directly, so he can only prepare a small gift." , let me give it to you."
Gu Jinli took the cloth bag, felt the rough texture inside the cloth bag, and was surprised, what it contained——garam.
Salt, water, and food are important things on the way to avoid starvation, and salt is easy to carry, as long as it is hidden, will not be conspicuous.
When Gu Jinli found out about the contents of the cloth bag, he smiled sincerely, and said to Qi Yi, "Thank you, Uncle Qi."
Qi Yi smiled and asked Manager Lin to bring Village Chief Gu and the others.
As soon as Village Chief Gu and the others returned, they saw a lot of food and a lot of tears, their eyes sparkled, and the eyes of some villagers were even more greedy, eager to take it.
Gu Jinli and Gu Jinan considered their reactions.
As the eldest son of the family, Gu Jinan said on behalf of Gu Dashan: "Grandfather of the village chief, this is a gift from the Qi family to our family. My father told me that our village was fleeing from hunger together. These things had to be handed over to the village to be shared by the village chief. Hearing this, Village Chief Gu
so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut from ear to ear: "OK, Dashan, you are the one who never forgets your roots, and the village will remember your love." The residents of Gujia Village also smiled happily when they heard
the words stand.
The two Gu Ergou brothers immediately ran forward, put away the two youths beside the burden, took the initiative to bear the burden, and said to the village chief with a smile: "Uncle village chief, let's take it back to the village ." The village chief Gu
they glanced at them and wanted to scold them a few words, but felt it was not good. After all, this was the Qi Mansion camp, so they could only say furiously: "Be careful, this is our water and village food. If it falls, I can't save you."
The Gu Ergou brothers had always liked to make use of it, and if they were allowed to bring food, a few handfuls would definitely fall into their pockets.
Brother Gu Ergou said with a smile: "Uncle Village Chief, don't worry, who is our brother? He was the one who carried a heavy weight of two hundred catties and walked on a mountain road of over ten miles without gasping for breath." Village Chief Gu did not bother talking to their brother
, Qi Yi said: "Master Qi, it's getting late, if you don't have orders, we'll be back."
They had been out for a long time, and now it was dark, less than half of the strong laborers in the village were here, and the rest in the village only the rest of the women and children came home late for fear of accidents.
Qi Yi said: "Village head, go slowly."
With a smile on his face, the village chief brought everyone to the resting place in Gu village.
After returning to the resting place, Village Chief Gu asked the residents to tell each household to come to his resting place to fetch water and food.
The villagers in Gujia Village were very happy when they heard there was food and water available, but they were afraid of offending the eyes of other victims, so they did not dare to show too much, he said, so they picked up a water can and a cloth bag and walked quickly to the resting place of the house the village chief left.
When all the villagers in Gujia Village had arrived, Village Chief Gu said: "Xiaoyu saved the young master of Qi Mansion. Food and water this time was a gift from the Qi Mansion for Xiaoyu, but the Dashan family missed us and gave us a lot of money. Food and water were brought to the village, and the villagers distributed them together." Village chief
Gu pointed to the cargo of food and water, and said, "We benefit from the Dashan family, so we can "Don't be too greedy. Give food and a bottle of water to Dashan's family, and we'll share the rest."
The villagers did not mind, this was the property of the Dashan Gu family, and they were lucky to get some .
Seeing them agree, the village chief asked his son Gu Dafu to bring ten catties of grain and a bottle of water to Gu Dashan's family.
Then, start dividing the food and water.
After the villagers received the food and water, they laughed out loud and said good things about Gu Dashan's family.
Madam Zhang held back and came to the village chief's resting place, and whispered to the village chief: "Village chief, I will bring food and water for my family." As soon as those words came out,
The daughter-in-law Gu Ergou laughed out loud, He said in a sharp voice: "Hey, isn't this Gu Laosan and his wife? Gu Laosan You have sold Brother Dashan's family, so you still have the face to receive food? " He patted the cloth bag containing the food in his hand and
saying, "These grains were given to the village by the Dashan family. Are you willing to ask for it?"
Madam Zhang blushed, but she did not resist. He simply lowered his head and continued: "The village chief, my mother asked me to get some grain and water."
Village Chief Gu thought about Qi Yi's concern for the Gu Dashan family, and said: "Without your family's food, no, You go back and tell you father-in-law and mother-in-law that the Dashan family is no longer their son, so don't do anything to make everyone look bad." Son."
The daughter-in-law Gu Ergou laughed even louder when she heard the village chief's words, and shouted: "Have you heard that? If you don't have food for your family, leave quickly. "
Hearing this, Madam Zhang couldn't stay any longer, rushing away.
Seeing that Madam Zhang had not brought back any food and water, the old Gu family was furious. Gu Young scolded, "The farmer has been in power for nine days, isn't it just a few grains and a few sips of water? Our family doesn't care!" The Gu Family too
saying, "We are scholars, we are nothing more than their muddy feet, and we don't bow down to five buckets of rice."
Qian Lier was full of hatred, staring at the village chief's resting place with hatred, Gu Xiaoyu Gu Jinxiu damn it, just wait, one day she will take revenge today!
...
After the food was distributed, Village Chief Gu ordered some of the villagers to remain on duty at night, and the other villagers returned separately.
The Gu Jinli family followed the third grandfather and third grandmother back to their resting place.
Everyone was very tired today, and after saying a few words, they fell asleep.
Gu Jinli reached into the cloth bag and took out two pieces of paper, one of which was fifty-two silver coins, perhaps Qi Yi had specifically given it to him, and the other seemed to be a letter.
He looked at the words on it under the light of the campfire, and saw a line of words written on it: More dangerous go east, try south.
Gu Jinli's heart sank as he looked at this line of writing. Exactly as he thought. All the victims are heading east. Tens of thousands of victims were all heading east. Chaos is easy. Once chaos breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous .
It was now autumn, too cold in the east, and they might freeze to death before reaching Yangji Palace.
The south is warm, with plenty of water and vegetation, and the victims rarely go south, the danger will be much less along the way, and more food can be found on the road.
It seemed like he had to think of a way to persuade his family to go south instead of east.
The next day, the sky was clear, and the sound of a clanging knock was heard again. The victims rose and gathered, and continued to flee eastward. But when he stopped to rest at night, he could no longer see the ship's motorcade. Qi's House.
The Qi Mansion accelerated the speed of escaping from hunger and was completely separated from the disaster victims.
After walking for three more days, the situation on the road did not improve, but the deteriorating Gu Jinli sharply noticed that there seemed to be some strange faces among the victims.
