Take space to raise cubs on the road to escape

Chapter 159 159. Good News

When the whole village was fleeing famine, it was to survive, and there was only the energy left in the body to survive, so there was no time for distraction.

But seeing his wife's concern, the village head couldn't say these words, so he hurriedly pulled her to sit down.

He repeated what Gulan said in a low voice. He didn't intend to hide this kind of thing from his wife, so he could just listen to her opinion.

"Gu Lan is really talking about Yunzhou City?" The village chief's wife also raised the folds of her face in shock, and her eyes were half-sized.

"If you don't believe me, ask your sons." The village head squinted at his sons.

Following the mother's gaze, the two brothers Li Youzhi nodded quickly, fearing that if the answer was slower, the old mother would directly start again, so that they could experience the deepest love of their mother.

"So, you were shocked by the great news of the day." The wife of the village chief finally understood what was going on.

Indeed, if this incident happened to her, she would be dizzy as well.

"Good news?" The village chief looked at his companion.

"That's right! Good news, isn't this great news? Didn't you still worry about where to settle down before? Guy Gu has already sent you a place. I really don't understand why such a good thing is so entangled." It's easy to think about, if I definitely go, anyway, I have to find a place to stay, and it's also a place I don't know. It's better to go to Wangzhou City. At least it's rich and safe there, and the most important thing is to settle down in the village, so we don't have to worry about it. If you are excluded, you will be bullied."

This is also what the village head's wife cares most about. It is certain to be excluded and bullied in a strange place, and no one wants to feel that feeling.

The old man just thought too much.

"But Yunzhou City is far away, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? What is there to be afraid of? I am not afraid of a woman, what are you afraid of, old man? We have walked thousands of miles from Linzhou to Yunzhou, and we are afraid that the journey is less than a thousand miles. Besides, isn’t there Gulan now? Besides, which one of the sons in the village didn’t practice martial arts with Gulan, I believe the sons of our village will definitely protect us.”

"I also understand what you mean, old man. Are you afraid that the distance will be far away, and the cost will increase accordingly. You will need more food, and the villagers will not be able to bear it."

"We can bear such a long distance, and there is no shortage of water here. Even if there is a shortage of food and wild vegetables, it is enough for us to persist to the place. Besides, during the days of being stuck here, everyone has earned a lot of money, but at most they are walking more. Yueyu, I believe everyone will be able to persist, you just think too much."

Maybe, as his wife said, he thought too much, and instead got himself into it.

Having said that, Village Chief Li also knew that his wife was right, but he definitely couldn't make such a big decision, so he got up and walked quickly into the night.

"Old man, where are you going?" the village chief's wife yelled worriedly.

"Consult with the clan elders." Village Chief Li's words came in the cool wind.

Seeing this, the Li Youzhi brothers hurriedly followed, they were worried that the old man was alone.

Seeing the two sons following, the village head's wife was also relieved.

Gu Lan, who was in the tent with her son in her arms, had no idea how powerful the village head's wife was.

Then, two quarters of an hour after the village chief went to the two clan elders, all the heads of each household in Lijia Village were called to go.

……

The next day, everyone who woke up early practiced with Gu Lan as usual.

It's just that they seem to be a little impetuous this morning, and their eyes are always involuntarily placed on Master Gu in front of them.

What the elders at home told them last night would always unconsciously appear in their minds.

...Follow Master Gu to Zhoucheng.

I used to think that Master Gu is not an ordinary person, and I really feel that there is nothing wrong with it, but I don’t know why such a capable person, Master Gu would be like them, fleeing famine all the way.

Gulan didn't know what everyone was thinking, but they could feel that everyone was in a bad state today and they were all a little absent-minded.

After she let out a heavy "cough", everyone quickly calmed down, got rid of distracting thoughts, and started to get serious.

Seeing this, Gulan was satisfied.

Although everyone just practiced with her voluntarily and did not formally accept apprentices, they should be serious in practicing.

Then came another busy day.

After eating breakfast, only the old and the weak were left in the resting place of Lijia Village, and the others threw themselves into the sweaty passage again.

Dozens of gangsters are still tied up by the roadside, all of them slumped on the ground weakly. In order not to let them have the strength to cause trouble, these people only have one meal a day, and each of them can only eat [-]% to [-]% full .

After being hungry for so many days, let alone doing things, I don't even have much strength to walk.

From the beginning to the end, I never considered using these people to work together. After all, there is no way to control them, mainly because I am afraid of trouble.

As for why the gangsters have already cleaned up and are still wasting time to pass through, it is entirely possible to pass through the winding mountain trails without gangsters.

Regarding this point, the people in Lijia Village said that it doesn't matter where they go, the most important thing is making money.

As for Guo Yi's side, on the one hand, it was because the lady's carriage was wide, and the path was narrow and uneven, which was too bumpy for the lady's body to bear.

On the other hand, I don’t want to give up halfway. The road has been through for so many days, and more than half of the mountain road has been passed. I believe it will not take long.

Everyone is also full of enthusiasm.

"The waiter has a situation. There seems to be a voice from the other side." Liu Gao, who was in charge of the work, ran to Guo Yi's side quickly.

Hearing that Guo Yi quickly came to the blocked mountain road, the busy people stopped immediately with gestures, and the surroundings fell into silence.

With the disappearance of the sound on one side and the silence on the other side, the movement on the other side was amplified. There was indeed a faint sound coming out. If you listened carefully, you could hear the sound of digging. Guo Yi was delighted.

It is impossible to have movement for no reason, that is to say, there are people on the other side of the mountain.

Although the voice sounds a little distant, but the two parties work together, and it shouldn't take long for the road to be really connected.

Guo Yi is really happy, after being stuck here for so long, he finally sees hope.

With a tense face all day long, he finally relaxed, and immediately said to everyone: "You heard it, there is a voice from the other side, which means that it is not only us who are working hard, but also someone is working hard on the other side, so everyone persist, Soon we will be successful."

This is indeed good news. Everyone is very happy, and they can't help but smile on their tired faces.

Compared with the full of joy of the guards, the sons and daughters of Lijia Village were happy and also had a little regret.

The road is open, which means that their days of earning money are numbered.

It is really tiring every day, and this kind of tiredness is not inferior to that of the annual corvee.

But the mood is different, tired and happy.

Every year, the corvee is like a heavy stone that weighs heavily on people's hearts. For the poor who have no money, they can only grit their teeth and persist.

And it’s still a month of unpaid labor, and every household must provide one person, unless it is a famous scholar, or pays to find someone to replace or dredge the official, otherwise there is no exception.

During the corvee period, except for the necessary rest time, the rest is working. If you are weak and sick, you may not be able to come back.

It's brutal, but it's the reality.
