Chapter 30
In the midst of the sugar-eating turmoil all morning, it was time to set off before I knew it.

At this time, I heard the sound of the village chief beating the gong. After familiarizing myself with it yesterday, everyone was no longer in a hurry at the beginning.

After walking for about an hour, I encountered several groups of people resting, all from their neighboring villages, and those with relatives came forward to say hello.

They turned from another trail. There are many trails, so they didn’t meet them on the previous main road. Every village has its own trail leading to the official road. It’s normal if they don’t come across it. As we walked, we met in the same direction.

Not long after, she ran into someone from Cuifen's natal village. Cuifen felt relieved when she saw her parents, and hurried forward to speak.

At this time, Qin Xinyi also stepped forward to say hello to her in-laws, and talked briefly to each other.

There is a small road leading to the official road in the south from Zhang Laotou's village. Although they started a day later than them, the distance was about the same. In addition, although it was very hot at noon yesterday, they didn't have a long rest, so they almost met.

The two families exchanged a few words with each other. After all, they were not from the same village, so they could only follow in the footsteps of the village chief.

Cuifen could only bid farewell to his parents and followed the people in the village. Cuifen knew that he and his parents were on the same road, so he felt more at ease. Fortunately, they all went in the same direction. They will catch up, and they won't be far away.

Old man Zhang took the wild yam back and distributed it to his brothers. When the brothers saw it, they were more excited and said, "Should we also find some wild yams?"

Old man Zhang thought it was the same. He didn't know if there were any on the mountain, so he told the news to their village head.

Although their village chief is a bit selfish, he can do well in general, and besides, they must complement each other on the way to escape from famine, and they can't take all the benefits by themselves.

The village head also told the news to the people in the village, if you want to find something, you can find it, if you don't want it, forget it, don't force it.

Some people are not willing to go, they think what to do if they get poisoned in their mouths, although old man Zhang said very well and showed them to see, but they are still not at ease.

Still muttering in bad intentions, "People's hearts are separated from the belly, and weasels pay New Year's greetings to chickens. They have no good intentions."

Some of them who had a good relationship with old man Zhang followed him up the mountain, and some of them really didn't have much food at home, so they had to try whether they had dates or not.Although they have all harvested, but not much, each family only looks like ten catties.

It is estimated that the mountains on their side are not too long, and the wild yams are only sporadic. Although there are not many, they are very happy and want to take out some as a thank you gift to old man Zhang.

The old man Zhang didn't accept it, thinking that a village could help a little, and besides, he didn't dig these yams for them, so he just needs to take care of them along the way.

Seeing that old man Zhang didn't want it, they thought the same way, and they would help out if there was anything on the way.

Old man Zhang felt that he had benefited enormously from the fact that he made no mistake in getting married back then.

Not only helped myself, but also helped the people in the village.Looking at the backs of the people from Niutou Village going away, I was filled with emotion.

Thinking about walking together, and being able to help me if I encounter any problems on the road, I am quite relieved.

Qin Xinyi felt that the village chief didn't let everyone walk and rest for a while like other villages, but just led everyone on the road ahead, on the road, and on the road.

After all, the weather is relatively cool in the morning, and with the lessons from yesterday, they know that they can't rush on the road at the hottest time.

Although there are children crying on the road, women complaining, and those who are generous and cursing.

These were all they muttered in private, and they didn't reach Village Chief Feng's ears. Even if they reached Village Chief Feng's ears, the village chief didn't care.

They were wasting their tongues there, and when it was hot, they didn't need him to yell at them to shut up, they would naturally be shut up by the scorching sun.

The people I met recently were all villagers from a few nearby villages. Those who met each other said hello and nodded before continuing to set off.

Now they have just left for a few days, they have food and water in their hands, and there is no need for any conflicts. They are relatively stable, although there are some small conflicts, such as walking too fast, talking badly, your fire is burning It's too busy, and others can't fall asleep because of it. Recently, it's trivial and trivial things.

The good times didn't last long. After a few days of peace and quiet, several houses were running out of water.

The village chief's lips were chapped and his voice was hoarse, and everyone looked similar to him.

Only Qin Xinyi's family didn't have good-looking faces. After all, the weather was so hot and they were exposed to the wind and sun all day, so their faces were really not good-looking.It's just that the lips are not so dry and chapped.

The village head rang the gong, and everyone knew that the village head had sounded the gong as soon as it stopped. He must have something to discuss.

Now the village chief doesn't let his son go to yell to inform him of something. His own child hurts, and if he yells, his throat will smoke.

Now I am very pleased that there is a gong in the village, it is really convenient, as long as the gong is struck, everyone will know that something is wrong.

The most important thing right now is the lack of water. It is probably a matter of discussing how to find water.

Everyone voluntarily put down what they were doing, and one person from each family walked out to the place where the village chief stayed.

Qin Xinyi's family is no exception, but there is one more person in his family, Qin Xinyi.After all, she also wanted to hear what the village head had to say?
Every time something happened, Qin Xinyi would participate, and the village chief didn't object. He felt that Qin Xinyi's suggestion was also very good.

Although they passed through several towns, these villages and towns are relatively flat, without hills, and the land is more exposed to the sun, which makes the drought more severe.

They could only endure their thirst and continue to move forward. After these few days of rushing, some people's water was barely left, and finally they came to the roadside of a small hill.

It wasn't very dark yet, but the village head was a little excited when he saw this small hill. After all, although the leaves on this hill were slightly yellow, there was a big mountain behind it.

He felt that he might be able to find some water and food here. If everyone didn't replenish the water, the road ahead would be more difficult, and they would probably die of thirst. Now that there is nothing lacking, there is no lack of water.

When we arrived at the village head, the village head licked his chapped lips and said hoarsely, "I won't talk nonsense. Everyone knows that this is an extraordinary period. Many people are running out of water. I looked at this small mountain. There are mountains and mountains behind the hill, and it is estimated that if you go a little further, you may find water."

"Or arrange groups according to the people on duty at night, find water sources, if there is suitable food, you can pick it by the way, but the most important thing for you is water, others, want to find food, want to rest and rest, free control .”

"Now, while it's still dark, everyone should hurry back and prepare to enter the mountain!"

After listening to the village chief's long speech, the others had no objection, they were too thirsty to talk, they all nodded and went back to prepare.

From this aspect, Qin Xinyi knew that her elder brother was wiser than other village chiefs.

They also met many other village chiefs on the road, including the village chiefs of their in-laws. When you look around, you can't find anything even if you look for it again.
