But who could have imagined that a massive locust plague would suddenly strike, leaving most of the country in Pinggui without a trace.
For the vast majority of people, this is definitely a disaster that falls from the sky.
Even Zhang Dadao's family suffered a lot from this disaster.
Of course, after decades of savings, it is basically impossible for Zhang Dadao's family to starve to death in a mere locust plague.
But Zhang Dadao was a very philanthropic person, and he did not want to see his relatives starve to death, so he funded a lot of food.
Here comes the funding trouble.
A cavalryman from Beiyue Kingdom took advantage of the locust plague and the instability in Pinggui Kingdom to raid Suping County.
But when he was attacking the county seat, the county magistrate Zhang Zhicong saw that the city gate was about to be breached, so he immediately ordered people to burn the official treasury!
The millions of kilograms of grain stored in the official treasury were reduced to ashes by the fire, and the commander of the Beiyue Cavalry, who urgently needed this batch of grain to support the battle, almost lost his temper and went crazy.
Therefore, the commander of this cavalry immediately divided his cavalry into fifty groups, each with forty cavalry, because of the lack of food supplies from the enemy, and rushed towards various parts of Suping County.
Their only mission is to collect food!
Naturally, Zhang Dadao, a good man, quickly became the target of a group of enemy cavalry.
No way, no matter how good a person is, some people will be jealous of him.
Take Zhang Dadao as an example. He has a principle for supporting his relatives, that is, those who have a surplus of food at home will not be able to do so.
The reason is very simple. Zhang Dadao worked hard to feed Zhang Dadao's food with his feces and urine, so why should he give it to the lazy man?
In this way, he offended one of his distant relatives with his sharp mouth.
This sharp mouth is not a name, just a nickname. Because it likes to steal chickens and dogs, just like the sharp-mouthed mice in the countryside, it was named Zhang Jianzui.
This nickname has been called by many people, but no one remembers his real name Zhang Guomu.
This sharp mouth originally wanted to go to a neighboring village to steal an old hen for a tooth ceremony, but was discovered by a Northern Moon cavalry while on the way.
Zhang Jianzui, who was so frightened that his whole body was shaking, heard the cavalry leader ask who had the most food nearby. Without even thinking about it, he immediately reported Zhang Dadao's name, and at the same time asked him to lead the way with a flattering look on his face.
As a result, needless to say, the Beiyue Cavalry rushed into Zhaogui Village and surrounded Zhang Dadao's family.
Fortunately, Zhang Dadao, apart from being hardworking and willing to work, has another advantage: he is timid.
While building his big yard, he took his whole family to dig a passage underground leading to the outside of the village.
Otherwise, after those cavalry broke into his house, no one in his family would be able to survive.
These Beiyue cavalry are not good people. Zhang Jianzui, who bravely led the way, not only did not get the benefits he imagined, but after the cavalry leader confirmed that the big yard was Zhang Dadao's house, he directly drew his sword and killed Zhang Jianzui. Killed on the spot!
It goes without saying that the Beiyue cavalry invaded the Zhang family and plundered food.
After Zhang Dadao and his family escaped from Zhaogui Village, they were a little confused. However, Zhang Dadao was indeed timid and had already thought of an escape route. He bravely returned to the village, picked up his daughter and his family, and fled towards Shiwanda Mountain with his family. go.
The Zhang family was harmed. The other villagers in Zhaogui Village who had the brains immediately fled with their whole family, while the brainless ones closed their doors and hid in the cellar shivering.
But in the end, those who hid at home could not escape the butcher knife of Beiyue Cavalry.
For the Northern Moon Cavalry, they have no plans to permanently occupy this land. The only way to reduce the enemy's war potential is to minimize it.
Zhang Dadao initially thought about waiting for a while to go back and see if he could retrieve anything, but what followed was a sudden heavy snowfall.
Although the heavy snow that fell quickly put an end to the locust plague, it also made it impossible for the villagers staying outside to continue.
At this time, Zhang Dadao did not dare to stay in the forest outside the village. He took his family, the gathered relatives and some villagers to escape towards Shiwanda Mountain.
This escape lasted five days. Since everyone was running away in a hurry, and the road was covered with heavy snow, it was really difficult to find something to eat.
As the head of the family, Zhang Daguo naturally set an example and left all the food for the younger generation. As a result, he himself starved to death.
The patriarch's wish is to find a pure land for his family to thrive and live prosperously, which is the meaning of paradise.
As Fang Xiaoyue accepted the task, the sound of the dice continued to sound.
"Two items of the body's abilities are randomly given temporarily!"
"Zhang Dadao's original ability: farming and finding water will temporarily grant success."
Fang Xiaoyue sighed, and while feeling the age of this body, she asked with great effort: "Ping An, where are we?"
He became an old man as soon as this happened, and he had to drag such a big family to survive in troubled times, which really made him feel a little worried.
You must know that in this ancient war-torn era, the age of fifty or sixty is almost equivalent to the modern longevity of eighty or ninety years.
"Dad, we have arrived at Wulilin."
Zhang Ping'an, who looked tall and thick, had an old face and was almost fifty years old, immediately came up to him, squatted down slightly and said.
Wulilin?
Fang Xiaoyue looked through Zhang Dadao's memory and found that the name of Wuli Forest was very straightforward. It was a small forest five miles away from the entrance of Shiwan Mountain.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
No way, it had just arrived, and the body of this big ladle was dilapidated, just like an old house that had been built for fifty or sixty years and encountered earthquakes, mudslides, and volcanic eruptions. It had been through all the trouble before, so no wonder it died.
But for Fang Xiaoyue, there is still a chance to save the body, but the only problem is to have food!
When his toughness was upgraded to level 5, he gained an additional effect of weak recovery. He only needed to eat and drink enough and then sleep to accelerate his body's recovery.
What's more, after the tenacity is raised to level 6, the additional effect of this weak recovery becomes stronger.
"Is there anything left to eat?"
Fang Xiaoyue also knew that all the food she had brought with her along the way was eaten up. If they hadn't found some wild vegetables on the roadside, this group of people would have starved to death.
That's why Zhang Dadao insisted on letting the younger generation eat first, and eventually starved to death.
"Dad, no more, but my second brother is leading people to look for food in the woods."
Zhang Pingan looks tall and strong, but in front of Fang Xiaoyue, he looks like a little chicken. This is probably the inertia that has been formed all along.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Look what I found?"
A surprised voice sounded from the woods, and it quickly moved towards this side.
Fang Xiaoyue turned around and saw a boy who looked two times stronger than his peers.
