Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
4. Chapter 4 Escape from the famine
Madam Gu said this for three days, and every time Gu Jinan heard it, her eyes were red with anger. Today, she was beaten with hatred, and ended up unable to endure it: "Grandmother, we hand over all the food we find every day to the family. If grandma didn't give us rations, what would we have to pay back?"
Madam Gu sneered: "It's your business, however, you have to hand over the food you find every day , this is the rule set by the village chief."
Gu Village They fled from hunger together. In order to survive, the village chief discussed with some clan elders that during the famine of escape, at least two men from each household had to go to forage Hand over some food to the village, and when there is absolutely no food, the village will take the food and distribute it to every household.
If one dared to hide the food without handing it over, once caught, he would be expelled from the fleeing team and could no longer follow the village.
There were disaster victims everywhere on the road to escape the famine. They were so hungry that they could do anything. If a family walks alone, everything will be robbed within ten miles.
After leaving these words, Miss. Gu is assisted by his two daughters-in-law.
Gu Jinli looked at Madam Gu's straight back, narrowed his eyes, refused to give rations, and was not allowed to hide food personally, in order to force their families to die.
No, she had to find her household registration as soon as possible and take her family out of the old Gu house.
Da Chu had strict household registration management, if he wanted to leave the old Gu family, he would have to obtain the household registration that Madam Gu had hidden first. If there is no household registration, their families are refugees.
Refugees are different from disaster victims, the government will resettle disaster victims, but they will buy and sell refugees!
People without household registration can be bought and sold at will in Dachu.
Bang bang bang!
There was the sound of a clapper being struck from a nearby rock, which was the resting place of the head and family of Gujia Village.
“The people from Gu Village, the people from Gu Village are all gathered and gathered, they are on their way!” Gu Dafu, the eldest son of the village chief's family, shouted repeatedly.
When the residents of nearby Gujia Village heard the sound, they got up one by one, rolling up straw mats, carrying weights on their backs, tying grain bags, and holding up the straw mats, put a pitcher and jug of water on their shoulders, supported the old man, brought the children, and ran to the resting place of the village head's house, where Gather, after counting the number of people, had, we will leave and continue to flee eastward.
Victims from other villages also began tapping on the bells and gongs to shout for help, preparing to leave.
Gu Jinli looked around, and surprised by what he saw, all the survivors at the foot of the mountain started moving, carrying the items on their backs and leading the people, and ran towards the gathering place in their own village.
Looking around, there was a dense crowd of people, and the scale was not inferior to the troops.
Gu Jinli held Gu Jincheng's hand tightly. Their families should always be vigilant on this escape path. With so many victims, if anything goes wrong, their families have to admit that they are on an escape route.
"Little fish, your wound has not healed completely. Brother Cheng asked Father to take it. Hold your mother's hand tight and don't let go. "Gu Dashan hurriedly rolled up the straw mat in the house upon hearing the clapper sound Putting it on his back, he tied a water-filled bamboo tube around his waist, lifted Brother Cheng, and explained to Gu Jinli.
Madam Cui had already clasped her two daughters' hands tightly, and said with fear on her face: "Follow mom, don't let go on the street, don't answer anyone who calls you, and call someone when you're in danger, yelling loudly.
" Protecting the three women in the family in the middle, they tied up the cloth bag, which contained the remaining leaves from last night, and they also had lunch today; at the same time, they had a cloth bag, which contained the rest of the leaves from last night, and they had lunch today, they said to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, if you feel uncomfortable, tell brother Don't sustain yourself."
Gu Jinli nodded, and only briefly greeted before being pushed forward by the people behind.
When they reached the resting place of the village chief's house, most of the people in Gu village had already arrived.
The people from the old Gu family also came.Seeing their family of six, Madam Gu snorted scowl, and the frown on her face trembled with a cold snort.
Aunt Gu next to them glanced at them, opened her mouth, and let out the word "pooh".
Aunt Gu's family fled starvation with her birth family, and she was reluctant to eat her family's food, so she continued to eat her birth family's food. On the day Gu Xiaoyu was beaten up, she came back from asking about the news with the head of the family, and heard Gu Xiaomei peppering the words that Gu Dashan did not like married women eating their mother's food, and hates Gu Dashan's family to death. Tell Lady Gu that the fish is not dead and has woken up, and persuade Lady Gu to hit Gu Jin'an.
Second Uncle Gu and Master Gu stood in front of the woman from the Gu family, stared back at Gu Jinli, and preached coldly: "Caught up my uncle, disrespecting my grandparents and parents, no matter what, being cruel at such a young age is embarrassing with family traditions.
" Gu Shi said that Gu Xiaoyu wanted him to look for food, and he, who had already looked down on Gu Dashan, hated Gu Xiaoyu even more.
Let him find food?
He was a scholar, a dignified boy, how good he was to do what only those refugees did!
Gu Jinli was eager to slap her face, the old Gu family had people like Madam Gu, so it was insulting to family traditions.
Gu Dashan and Cui Shi were already used to this, they simply hugged the children tightly and turned a deaf ear to Gu Ershu's words.
Master Gu listened to the situation here attentively, and saw that Gu Dashan's family did not retaliate, so he remained silent.
Village chief Gu was in his fifties, with a serious face, two nasolabial folds extended to his chin, a thin figure, and wearing patched cotton clothes.After the members of Gu village gathered, the, he asked his eldest son to roll up his name.
After a quarter of an hour, the number of people counted.
The village chief cleared his throat and repeated the sentence before departure every day: "It is difficult to escape from hunger, everyone should support each other, take care of your own children, take care of your own parents, take care of your parents, food, water, and salt are vital things, and never throw them away!There are many casualties in the disaster area, the villagers should not make trouble, do not make trouble to the village, follow the road carefully, don do not wait for the support team, come on!" Following the voice of the village chief to depart, over 200
the people in Gujia Village all started moving. Down the mountain to the official road, then go east down the official road .
In front of Gujia Village, there are already many disaster victims who are on their way, behind Gujia Village, more disaster victims who scattered to the official road, I can not see the end of the swing.
Gu Jinli glanced back and forth, his heart sinking further, he grabbed Cui Shi and Gu Jinxiu tightly, and rushed behind Gu Dashan.
Victims were mostly on foot, some were riding in cars, most were carts pulled by people, which were only available to people with better conditions in the village.
There were also several carriages passing by on the road. This is a rich man's carriage in Fucheng. Every time, several carriages passed by together. There was a large group of housemaids with sticks and knives running beside the carriage. Even if the victim's carriage knew they were rich, the carriage had food Even if there was water, I didn't dare to take it.
It took an entire day to walk, from dawn to Shenshizhong in the afternoon (around 16:00), seeing some people would faint if walking further, some of the victims eventually stopped to rest.
When Village Chief Gu saw the survivors in front of him stop, he asked his eldest son to ring a clapper for everyone to stop and rest.
Bang bang bang!
“Gujia village, rest anywhere, everyone is rushing to find food and water, prepare food tomorrow, good rest, and gather at the beginning of tomorrow's hour!” When the Gujia Village survivors heard this, they were all exhausted.
He fell to the ground, panting.
Gu Jinli was a military doctor in his previous life, and he often performed tasks in the field, but this body was only ten years old, and he was so hungry that he walked all day, but now he could not stand it anymore, and was so tired that he sat on the ground.
Gu Dashan and Gu Jinan had no time to rest, so they took off the straw mat, bamboo tube, and half a leaf bag, and handed it to Cui Shi, saying: "There's still water in the bamboo tube, keep some water, and chew a few handfuls of leaves when you're hungry." To satisfy our hunger, Brother Ang and I will go in search of food, and when we find something to eat, we will eat a complete meal."
