Volume 2, Chapter 27: Starting Again

It's not far from my hometown. It's not difficult to get news from my hometown. If the situation improves, it's easy to go home.

Going to the capital is a long way, and the road is full of dangers. When we arrive, we don’t know how to settle down. It will be even more difficult to return to our hometown in the future.

Dongming Ziyu would not force anyone to listen to him, and said calmly: "If you want to go or stay, you make your own decision. Our family will continue to go south."

If he persuaded those people to follow him, they would have many reasons to refute.

But Dongming Ziyu looked like "whatever you want", so they were speechless and hesitated in their hearts.

Dong Chunlei finally couldn't bear it, so he explained: "You stay here and become savages in the mountains? There is also a disaster in King Kang's territory. They don't accept refugees, so you are black households without shelter and land.

It's okay if the refugees don't make trouble. If they interfere with the lives of other people, King Kang will be angry and send troops to suppress the bandits. A bandit's name will be deducted and everyone will beat him up."

Someone said: "Yes, you can survive here. It's close to your hometown and it won't be difficult to go back. Even if... you die, the fallen leaves will not be far from their roots."

It is human nature that it is difficult to leave one's homeland.

No matter how poor the hometown is, that love and attachment are engraved in the bones and melted in the blood.

Why would Dong Chunlei be willing to leave his hometown? He sighed and said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to return to my hometown in the past few years. Let alone the rain, we can't figure out God's temper.

I’m just talking about conscription and catching young men. I don’t know how long this battle will last. If we go back, we will be captured. How many chances do we have to survive?”

Many people wilted and hung their heads.

Someone said sadly: "But if we go to the capital, they may not accept us, and we may not be safe."

Dongming Ziyu said: "The emperor is in the capital, and no matter how bloody the fight between the princes is, they will not dare to fight in the capital."

Seeing that everyone was confused, he had no choice but to break it into pieces and explain: "If you attack the capital, you will have to bear the crime of killing your father and king, and the whole world will have to attack it. Those princes, in the name of justice, will

The forces in the flag will use this excuse to work together to kill him first.

In order to appease the victims and prevent them from causing chaos, the emperor either provided relief money and food to appease the people, or took them in and settled them in distant suburbs, arranging residences and fields.

Anyway, as long as the emperor is alive, no one will dare to attack the capital easily. Now the princes have to decide the outcome first, and at least there will be a few years of stability. I wonder if you have figured it out?"

They didn't quite understand, but they all heard it clearly. They couldn't go back to their hometown in a short time, and those who stayed here were black households. King Kang would send troops to destroy them if he was unhappy.

This troubled world! Alas!

Everyone sighed until someone shouted: "It's time to eat! It's time to eat meat!"

Everyone's expressions immediately became lively, and they all looked for their own rice bowls to fill their bowls with meat.

There seemed to be a lot of prey. Excluding the fried diced meat and the food reserved for tomorrow, if it was divided among more than 200 people, one person could not eat more than a few mouthfuls of meat.

The blood and internal organs were not wasted, and were stewed in it. Wild vegetables, chestnuts and potatoes were also added. Although it had no salty taste and was still a bit fishy, ​​it was still a rare delicacy.

Qian held the spoon and was responsible for serving the rice. The bowl in front of him looked familiar. He raised his eyes and saw that it was Shangguan Ruoli. Without saying anything, the spoon sank down. He picked up a full spoonful of good meat and put it in the bowl.

After that, I quickly poured two more spoons of broth to cover it.

Shangguan Ruoli almost couldn't help laughing. Seeing that everyone's attention was on the meat, he secretly added some salt to the bowl and gave it to Erlang and Rong Chuan, "You are injured, eat first."

Erlang was so greedy that his mouth was drooling, but he still said: "No, wait for everyone to eat together."

Rong Chuan's eyes looked at the meat with some desire, but not very eagerly.

The children of the host family are very sensible. They are greedy and eat with their fingers, but they don't eat carelessly like other children.

If Shangguan Ruoli had salt, he would be responsible for carrying the bowl, taking the opportunity to put a few grains of salt in it and place it on the large flat stone where Rongchuan and Erlang were recovering from their injuries.

Everyone had meat and sat around the big stone. Mr. Dong picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Let's eat."

Everyone started to get started, eating with gusto and praising the food again and again.

Because there were so many people, the meat was chopped into very small pieces, so Shangguan Ruoli chose a piece of chicken leg meat for Wulang.

Wulang's mouth was full of oil as he ate, and he kept saying: "The meat is so delicious, the meat is so fragrant."

Dongming Ziyu chuckled and picked another piece of pork ribs for him, "This one is more delicious."

Ling Yue took a look and wondered where the fragrance was. There weren't even any ingredients, and the fishy smell was so strong that it was far inferior to her mother's craftsmanship.

Rong Chuan thought she was jealous of Wu Lang, so he put a piece of ribs from his bowl into her bowl and whispered: "Eat."

The young man, who is as bright as the moon in the sky, has a deep voice with an imperceptible concern.

Ling Yue smiled, her parents actually brought her food from the space to eat, she really didn't like meat. However, she still ate the ribs, and then gave Rong Chuan a piece of rabbit meat.

Rong Chuan was surprised and wanted to refuse, but when he saw her slightly bent eyes, he lowered his head and started eating.

Some families were not so harmonious. Some quarreled over who ate an extra piece of meat, some scolded each other over grabbing a piece of meat, and some children burned their mouths and cried while eating. It was very lively.

After they had eaten and drank enough, some people left the food they found in the afternoon, while others continued to look for food.

Shangguan Ruoli took Ling Yue, Wu Lang, and a group of women and children to the depths of the mountain. They found some wild vegetables, wild fruits, and grains, so he took the opportunity to take out a lot of fruits from the space and gave them to the children.

Let's satisfy our cravings.

I drank bone soup to cook potatoes in the evening. After dinner, I started to pack things. It turned out that the empty basket was filled with chestnuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, potatoes, sweet potatoes, wild vegetables, fungus, etc. The buckets and gourds were also filled with water.

It's quite heavy in weight.

Strengthen and enlarge the flatbed trucks and trolleys. Wash what needs to be washed and brush what needs to be washed. As we are on the road, we still don’t know when we will find such an abundant water source.

Early the next morning, I cooked sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge. It was very thin. I mainly wanted to drink water because I was afraid that there would be no water to drink on the road.

Shangguan Ruoli was packing the baggage and folded the clean clothes for Dongming Ziyu, Ling Yue and Wulang.

Wulang ran over and threw himself into her arms, "Mother, mother, I don't want to drink vegetable soup! I can't drink it anymore!"

Ling Yue also avoided Mrs. Qian, "I can't drink the milk either. My stomach makes a loud bang every time I walk, and when I talk, the vegetable soup comes out!"

Mr. Qian spat: "You're the one who's being pretentious!"

After saying that, he turned around to catch Shiro, "Shiro, come on, drink some more!"

Shiro covered his mouth, shook his head repeatedly, turned around and ran away.

Children from other families also cried again: "Mom, I can't drink anymore, I really can't drink anymore!"

"Milk, I don't want to drink anymore, wuwuwu..."

In the end, they all went down the mountain full of water, and no one was left behind.

You carried the burden and I pushed the cart. Overcoming difficulties, we set off again and again.
Chapter completed!
