This night was the sweetest sleep these refugees had ever had along their journey.
Although there are not many quilts, only a few people can cover themselves with one quilt. Even so, many refugees feel that the nights are no longer as cold as before.
After daylight, the young people from the village came to the entrance of the village and cooked porridge.
The food for making porridge is all brought out from the village. You can cook as much as you want. The remaining food will be taken back and will not be left to the refugees.
The refugees also got up early, filled the porridge from the big pot and went to eat aside.
Zhou Youshun came to a young man who was making porridge with a wooden stick in his hand, and said politely: "I want to ask, why didn't you see the elder yesterday?"
"You're talking about Fifth Grandpa!" said the young man who was making porridge, "Fifth Grandpa is old and can't get up so early. If you need anything, I can tell you. Come, I'll make porridge for you. "
The young man held a wooden spoon in his hand and scooped out a spoonful of porridge from the pot.
Zhou Youshun passed the wooden basin in his hand forward and took the hot porridge from the other party's wooden spoon. At the same time, he said: "No matter what, I just want to ask, when will the man with the tiger character flag come?"
"I don't know." The young man shook his head and then said, "But don't worry, since the people in the Tiger Flag promised to send someone over, they will definitely send someone over. In Datong, you don't have to trust the government, but you can rest assured. Believe in the Tiger Flag."
Zhou Youshun said curiously: "Isn't the proprietor of the Tiger Flag the eldest man?"
"It's different." The young man said, "The tiger-character flag is the tiger-character flag, and the government is the government. I can't explain it clearly. You will understand it after you arrive at Lingqiu and stay for a while."
Zhou Youshun saw that the young man in front of him couldn't explain it clearly, so he said: "I am also unsure. I always hear people say that Lingqiu is good, but I haven't seen it and can't figure out what it is so good about."
"What do you think of our village?" The young man raised his head and looked at Zhou Youshun in front of him.
Zhou Youshun took a look around, nodded and said, "Okay, I've come this way, and it's your place. There are winter wheat planted in the fields, and there's a big water tanker. You don't have to worry about the seedlings being short of water, unlike us." , The quality of the harvest all depends on God. The weather has been bad in the past few years, and the little grain harvested is not as much as the seeds."
When he mentioned the nearby fields, he looked envious.
The farmland here is irrigated by ditches and has water trucks to collect water. The wheat seedlings in the fields are lush and green. He is really envious.
The young man said with a smile: "Don't look at how good our place is. Compared with Lingqiu, it's far behind. You people are also lucky to be able to come to Lingqiu. If you stay in Lingqiu for a few years, your life will be no better than ours." The people in the village are poor.”
"I don't ask for too much, as long as I stutter, I'll be satisfied." Zhou Youshun said with a smile.
Along the way, many of our companions who died on the way died of starvation.
The weather has been bad in various places in the past few years. They came here begging and could hardly get anything. The people in the places they passed were not rich either, and they couldn't have enough to eat, let alone even a bite to eat.
Usually they could only eat some wild vegetables and roots to satisfy their hunger. Fortunately, they met a kind family who was willing to give porridge, and they were able to drink a few bowls of porridge. Plus they brought some food with them when they left home, and they managed to survive in Datong.
Housheng said: "No matter what I say, nothing can compare to seeing it with your own eyes. Just wait. When we go to Datong in a while, you can see with your own eyes how good Lingqiu is. I guarantee that you will never want to go back to your hometown again when you get to Lingqiu." .”
It is said that it is hard to leave one's hometown. Many people have left their hometowns to seek life outside. When the disaster is over, they will still choose to return to their hometowns.
"If Lingqiu is good and there is a way for us to survive, I won't go back. There are only a few shabby houses in my hometown, and they all collapsed when I came out. No one can live in them." As he said this, Zhou Youshun shed tears.
When the earth dragon turned over, many people in their village were buried under the houses, but less than half came out, and the remaining people were never rescued.
The young man opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
He knew that the refugees in front of him had all left their homes after their families had suffered disasters. If they hadn't really been unable to survive, no one would have fled all the way to their village.
"Brother, there are big cars coming. There are two of them. They are all big cars with four wheels." The third child ran over from the refugee shed and pointed excitedly at the two four-wheeled cars in the distance. cart.
Zhou Youshun turned his head and looked over.
On the official road in the distance, there were two four-wheeled vehicles driving towards the village.
The young man next to the cauldron said at this time: "These four-wheeled carts are the carts with the tiger character flag. They should be here to pick up you people."
"It turns out this is a cart that's coming to pick us up. I've never been on a four-wheel cart like this in my life." The third child said, staring at the approaching four-wheel cart.
Zhou Youshun didn't care that the porridge was burning his mouth, so he drank a few big gulps into his stomach, and then said to the third child next to him: "Let's go, follow me and take a look."
Holding a wooden stick in his hand, he walked towards the four-wheeled cart.
At this moment, all the refugees at the entrance of the village saw the two four-wheeled carts. Many people craned their necks to look at the four-wheeled carts, especially the children among the refugees. They were all crowded at the intersection at the entrance of the village. Stare at the four-wheeler.
Not long after, two four-wheeled carts came to a stop at the entrance of the village where the refugees were located.
A man jumped out of the four-wheeled cart. He was wearing cotton armor and holding a gun in his hand. He stood in front of the refugees and shouted: "Is there anyone in charge among you? If so, come forward. I am the second soldier." Qin Feng, captain of the first team of the third battalion of the camp, has been ordered to take you back to Lingqiu."
As he finished speaking, there was a commotion among the refugees.
The refugees were originally going to Lingqiu, but now that they heard that Lingqiu had sent someone to pick them up, their eyes lit up and they felt a little more alive.
Zhou Youshun came over with Lao San and Daniu and appeared in front of Qin Feng.
"I've met the military master." Zhou Youshun cupped his hands towards Qin Feng.
Qin Feng looked Zhou Youshun up and down and asked, "Are you the one in charge here?"
"I have read books and know a few words, and other people are willing to listen to me." Zhou Youshun said respectfully.
Qin Feng said: "Okay, tell your people to pack up and prepare to follow me."
"Hey, okay." Zhou Youshun agreed happily, and then he said to Lao San beside him, "Lao San, you and Daniu go tell the fellow villagers that the military master of Tiger Character Banner has come to take us to Lingqiu. They took the elderly and children with them and went to Lingqiu with the military master."
Lao San and Daniel ran to the refugee shed to inform others.
Qin Feng added at this time: "Those who are injured, as well as the elderly and children, can ride on the cart, and the other people will walk with the cart."
"I would like to thank the military master here first." Zhou Youshun saluted Qin Feng in front of him.
They were just some refugees who came begging. Unexpectedly, the people in the Tiger Flag knew that they were coming. In order to take care of the elderly and children among them, they used a big truck to pick them up.
They had received lots of looks along the way, but now Tiger Ziqi's behavior made him feel a warmth in his heart.
