Chapter 36
Some people were worried and wanted to go back to Dakang Village and Xiaokang Village to take a look, but they came back halfway.

The rocks collapsed and all the way back was blocked.

In this weather, cold and hungry, even if the court came, it would be difficult to organize a large-scale rescue.

The only way now is for the survivors to hurry to the county seat and let the imperial court give them a way out.

It is different from the philosophy of modern society that one party is in trouble and all parties support, and never give up any life.

In this era, rescue is more on your own.

So, everyone rushed to the county seat in a hurry. They were all house dwellers, and the court's ability was limited. The sooner they arrived, the better.

Li Wei and Lin Dahong took turns hugging Erya, and they couldn't keep up after a while.

Boss Gu simply put the quilt in the bamboo basket, while Daya, Erya and Tie Dan put it in the basket and carried it around.

This iron egg is the smallest but the fattest, so it's just right for one person on one side and two big girls on one side.

This scene reminded Li Wei of the classic TV series Journey to the West, where you carry the load and I ride a horse, but they don't have a horse.

The Gu family walked more and more slowly, and the tails of the people in front could not be seen.

It's not that Li Wei doesn't want to walk fast, but that a pregnant woman, a sick patient, and three children are walking in the snow and ice, so she really can't keep up with the speed.

Zhou Chunxiu also had a hard time and couldn't tell. Originally, she came out with her elder brother and sister-in-law in a bullock cart, but now her elder brother and sister-in-law don't care about her, so she can only follow the Gu family.She was so tired after walking in the snow for so long.

"Second, I can't walk anymore."

Gu Laoer looked at his pregnant daughter-in-law with a distressed expression.

"Mom, why don't we take a break?"

Li Wei saw that Zhou Chunxiu's face was really not looking good, so she asked everyone to stop and rest for a while.

Fortunately, Lin Dahong boiled a lot of water in the morning, and everyone's sheepskin bags were filled.

Each of them drank a few sips of hot water, and as usual, Li Wei gave each of them a piece of chocolate, which was considered a bit of energy.

After resting for about a quarter of an hour, they were about to set off when suddenly a group of people and horsemen in front came back, with Gu Dashuan walking in the front.

"Da Shuan, why are you back?"

"Anbang, the road ahead is blocked by landslides, so I can't get through."

Li Wei and the others were about to follow Gu Dashuan to take a shortcut when a young man ran back, who had just gone to scout the road.

"Brother Dashuan, the road ahead is also blocked."

"It's also blocked. This is bad. There are only two roads to Ji'an County."

"Is there no other way?"

Li Wei does not believe that there is no other way, as the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome.

"On weekdays, the folks often take these two roads."

What Gu Dashuan meant was that even if there were other ways, if everyone didn’t know about them, it would mean that there were no other ways.

Helpless, Li Wei simply asked the system, and the system immediately drew a real-time map.

Not only that, but even the landslide disaster area is clear.

There is only one road to go to Ji'an County, but this road first goes to Tongchuan County, and then from Tongchuan to Ji'an, the total distance is [-] kilometers.

It is 180 kilometers from Shima Town to Tongchuan.But no matter how far away, Li Wei knew that this was the only way.

"Village chief, we have decided to go to Tongchuan."

Gu Fugui was worried about what to do, but Li Wei suddenly said that he was going to Tongchuan.

"Tongchuan is not far away, almost two hundred kilometers away."

"Well, I heard in the town that Ji'an County is the hardest hit area, and Tongchuan is relatively safe if the landslide is real."

"It collapsed last night, no one knows if there will be a second landslide."

"Instead of being so worried, it's better to go directly to Tongchuan. Once you arrive in Tongchuan, you can go to Ji'an again."

Gu Fugui is considering Li Wei's suggestion.
"Village Chief, I know there is a shortcut. My eldest brother from my natal family walked before."

Qinghaiyan thought of her eldest brother from her natal family who was a shopkeeper, walking around the streets, and sometimes finding some shortcuts in order to hurry.

He used to take a shortcut from Shima Town to Ji'an County, but it was not easy to walk on the mountain road.

"Brothers and sisters, do you know how to go this way?"

"I don't know the exact route, but I know the direction. My elder brother said, just walk along the Changjin River. It's only less than thirty miles away."

Everyone was a little tempted when they heard it. Even if it is a mountain road, thirty miles is closer than going to Tongchuan for 180 kilometers.

Li Wei still trusts the system. If the system doesn't point out this path, it means that this path should not work.

"Mom, why don't we follow them too?"

Zhou Chunxiu suggested that she didn't want to walk more than 100 kilometers.

"If you want to go with them, go with them."

Zhou Chunxiu curled her lips, this old woman was deliberately against her.

Only a fool will take a long way if there is a short-cut.

"Sister-in-law, although you are not very good, but if you want to go with us, I still won't say anything. I'm not as small as some people."

Qing Haiyan looked like a villain, as if it was a great favor for Li Wei to follow her.

Li Wei shook her head, ignored it and continued walking.Shortcut, who likes to go, go!

Gu Fugui was also entangled, and in the end he let everyone make their own decisions and go with whoever they want.

Gu Fugui himself followed Li Wei. After all, it was Li Wei's reminder that everyone survived the avalanche, and it was Li Wei's suggestion to rest in the Town God's Temple.

Through these two incidents, Gu Fugui felt that Li Wei was quite reliable.

In the end, about half of the people followed Qing Haiyan and the others to take a shortcut.

The rest of the people followed Li Wei and the others towards Tongchuan.

A group of people were walking in the snow, and yesterday they were looking forward to going to the county town to eat a bowl of hot Yangchun noodles at noon, but now they don't know when they will be able to have a rest in a safe place.

Everyone's mood is low, and they all hope that nothing bad will happen again.

Just arrive in Tongchuan safely.

But the more I am afraid of something, the more something will come.

what.
There was a scream ahead, and someone fell in the middle of the snow.

The surrounding people reflexively jumped a few meters away.
It was an old widower from Xiaokang Village who fainted, and the head of Xiaokang Village asked someone to help him aside

After a while, news came that the old widower had lost his breath and had died of freezing.

Immediately, the head of Xiaokang Village ordered someone to dig a random hole by the side of the road and buried it, and then continued walking.

After hearing this, Li Wei felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Fleeing in such a climate, I am afraid that there will be more and more such situations in the future.

Here, human life is worthless.

This was the first person who died on the way to escape, and everyone's emotions became more depressed.

"Everyone cheer up, it will be fine when we arrive in Tongchuan County. Then we will have hot water to drink and a warm house to live in."

With Gu Fugui's encouragement, everyone's spirits improved and their pace became faster and faster.

But after walking for a long time, the sky began to turn dark again, and it was only noon now.

The snow was getting bigger and bigger. Li Wei looked at the weather and had a bad feeling, so she immediately asked the system. Sure enough, there was a snowstorm within half an hour.

It happened that there was a post station on the side of the road, which seemed to be abandoned, and Gu Fugui suggested to hide here.

When I walked in, I found that there were refugees everywhere, and they were all cowering in the cold.

After inquiring, they were from Lijiagou, not far from Shima Town. There were 100 people in the village, and only over [-] escaped. The loss was even heavier than that of Dahe Village.

The post station is smaller than the Town God's Temple, and it's not like last night. Some families can still live in a wing room, but now they are all crowded together, and they can't fit.

Fortunately, there are several nests of haystacks next to the post station, and some of them brought bamboo mats, so they surrounded them with bamboo mats, and then took some grass from the haystacks to form a roof, which can also protect against the cold temporarily.

Because of the haystacks, someone cut down bamboo, and quickly built a big grass shed, which can accommodate dozens of people.If a fire is raised in the middle, it can temporarily avoid the wind and snow.

Li Wei took out the tarpaulin as before, and built a shed against the courtyard wall at the corner of the station.

With yesterday's experience, the speed was very fast. Under the envious eyes of others, all the members of the Gu family hid in the shed.

"Seeing the eyes of other people, I always envy us."

Gu Laoer said in awe.

"Second child, you are so rare, be careful of getting beaten."

Gu Lao Er was not convinced.

"Who dares to hit me?"

"Now everyone is short of food and clothing, but you have it. If you have it, you are not low-key. If you don't hit you, who will you hit?"

"Everyone is the same. It's okay not to help when you see others suffer, but you must never be self-important."

Li Wei said very seriously.

Indeed, suffering and crisis are too much a test of human nature, and this natural disaster is already terrible enough.

But what is more terrifying than natural disasters is human nature, and she does not want to challenge it at all.
