Zhan Qingyue looked at the sky, suppressed the excitement in his eyes, and sat down next to Song Cuihua.
Han Yiyun, who had been paying attention to her, looked at Zhan Qingyue's expression change and felt a little confused.
It's quiet at night.
There were bursts of snoring, murmuring in sleep, and children's cries throughout the camp.
Zhan Qingyue carefully stood up from Song Cuihua and tiptoed out of the temporary shack.
Passing by the men who were sleeping outside the shack, those who picked up machetes and hoes ran towards the forest.
Han Yiyun rubbed his eyes drowsily, thinking that he had made a mistake because he was sleepy, so he didn't think much about it.
Zhan Qingyue entered the mountain and immediately let herself go.
For people like them who come from the apocalypse, their eyesight at night is no less than during the day, and their sensitivity to danger is even more extraordinary.
She accurately avoided some possible dangers and accurately found the place where she dug konjac during the day.
Zhan Qingyue was unambiguous and put all the konjac into the storage space.
It wasn't until he was almost done digging that he looked up at the sky.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he walked back quickly.
When they arrived at the camp, Zhan Qingyue was afraid of waking up the child, so she didn't go back to the shack and just found a place by the fire pit to sleep.
Little did he know that Han Yiyun was watching her every move.
She looked covered in dew, with countless mud spots on her body, and her shoes were even stained with thick mud.
Han Yiyun pursed his lips slightly and said nothing about her going out in the middle of the night.
Instead, he added a few firewood to the fire pit and covered Zhan Qingyue with his quilt.
At dawn, the fleeing team began to set off again.
This early in the morning, it was as if there were several suns hanging above our heads, making everyone's mouths dry.
On the official road, which was not flat to begin with, we saw some bodies lying on the ground from time to time.
I don’t know how long they have been dead. Some of them are dried up by the sun, and there are not even a fly on them.
Song Cuihua hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover the eyes of the two twins.
"Close your eyes quickly, don't look at it, you will have nightmares at night if you look at it!"
The further we go, the more dead bodies there are, old and young, male and female, with different forms of death.
Some of the unlucky ones even had their clothes taken off.
"Hey... what a sin!"
Many people sighed, their hearts becoming heavier and heavier.
They all lowered their eyebrows and strode forward, trying to get through this section of the road quickly.
As she walked, Zhan Qingyue noticed that there were more victims on the road.
Their fleeing team has grown a lot since then.
After all, Li Zheng is also a person who has seen the world.
When encountering this kind of situation, I ask everyone not to be soft-hearted. No matter what others say, don’t listen or believe it.
If you encounter someone asking for food or water, don't even bother with him.
"When will this day end?"
Someone in the crowd asked questions from time to time.
Zhan Qingyue licked her parched lips and raised her hands to block the scorching sun above her head. The gravel road under her feet was about to burn the soles of her shoes.
"Sister Yueyue, are you thirsty? I have some water here, can you take it to drink?"
Han Yiyun walked up to her side at some point, handed over the water bag with a gentle look in his eyes.
Zhan Qingyue was not polite to him. She took the water bag, took a sip, and said politely: "Thank you, Brother Han! This day is really boring."
Han Yiyun also nodded.
"The grass on this section of the road has dried up a lot, and the woods are not as dense as before. It probably hasn't rained in a long time."
Zhan Qingyue also sighed.
When will this day of escaping from famine end?
I thought that if I moved forward, there would be hope no matter what.
Unexpectedly, this was the scene.
The two of them silently said nothing.
Finally it was time to take a break at noon.
Everyone looked for a shady place one after another. It was almost time to rest, and then they started to dig the earthen stove and light a fire to cook.
“We don’t have much food left, and we don’t know when it will all end, so we have to save some food!”
Every household is staring at their own grain bags and worrying.
Even Song Cuihua also started to worry.
"Dad, let's have a bite at noon today. We have to save some food. There's still a long way to go!"
"You make the decision!"
Zhan Qingyue felt very uncomfortable listening to the conversation between the two elders.
"Father, mother, only when you are full can you have the strength to escape! Especially the three children, they are all growing, so we cannot let them lose their weight."
"I'll figure out a solution for the food issue!"
There is still room for this golden finger! You won’t starve to death!
However, water supply has become a big problem.
"Dad, Mom, how much water do we have? I'll go check it out!"
Hearing this, the two elders of the Zhan family wanted to stop them, but Zhan Qingyue got the better of them.
"Mom and dad, don't worry, I won't go far, I will just hang around here!"
My daughter was an idea, so the two elders breathed a sigh of relief.
"But be careful! Don't go too far if you can't find anything. We'll be back soon."
Song Cuihua was concerned and watched Zhan Qingyue leave.
Zhan Qingyue walked along the valley.
Valleys are the most likely places to have water sources.
It's a pity that we have been out here for dozens of miles, let alone water sources, and we haven't even seen any moist mud.
The soil in the valley was so dry that sparks appeared.
Zhan Qingyue sighed, I was afraid there was no chance of going forward, so he had to go back.
Back at the camp, everyone's meal was almost ready.
What a coincidence, I heard ghosts crying and wolves howling.
"You're dead! Second and third, you two are unfilial sons."
"I worked so hard during my ten-month pregnancy to bring you up! You two beasts don't even let me eat! You're not afraid of God's punishment!"
Mrs. Zhan cried so hard that she didn't shed a few tears. Instead, the dust and smoke rolling on the ground started to rise.
"Old man, you don't care! I've been following you since I was a teenager! I've been working as a horse for you for so many years! I even gave birth to three sons, you can't do this to me!"
Old man Zhan's eyes widened, and his heart surged with anger.
"You are so immortal! I asked you to gamble away the food! If you still want to eat, just eat dirt!"
Old Man Zhan kicked away the old man Zhan who was clinging to his thigh, with fierceness in his eyes.
Zhan Qingyue smiled disdainfully.
It’s really your own fault!
This old pious woman! You've been punished, haven't you?
Zhan Qingyue pretended not to hear and walked past them in a swaggering manner.
"Little bastard, don't leave! I'm your grandma, you can't just ignore me!"
Zhan Qingyue was so annoyed by the noise that she glanced back at Mrs. Zhan with a disdainful smile.
When Zhan Pozi, who was about to entangle her, saw this, her heart sank to the bottom completely. She felt so hateful!
Zhan Qingyue said coldly "Humph!" If he had known this, why bother in the first place.
Zhan Qingyue didn't want to talk nonsense with this kind of person at all, and quickly returned to her home territory.
The Champo made a fuss, everyone was in short supply of food, and everyone pretended to be deaf and mute, as if they didn't hear her cries.
The road to escape from the wilderness was already miserable. I was like a Buddha crossing the river, so I didn't have the kindness to mind other people's business.
In addition, Zhan Pozi was already notorious in the village, and now no one cared about her.
Just when Zhan Qingyue thought no one would help Zhan Pozi.
The appearance of a person surprised Zhan Qingyue.
