Chapter 198.
On the other side, Si Cheng and Wu Yong took the Gao family and the Gu family couple all the way to the county seat.

Because the surrounding area is under the control of the remaining forces of the army, there is no problem in terms of safety for the time being. The only thing to worry about is the wild animals that go down the mountain.

What shocked them the most was when they first came from the county seat, the naked corpses at the bottom of the river were horrifying to see.

These are the bodies that were thrown into the river after the earthquake, and for some unknown reason they did not go down the current, but sank to the bottom of the river.Because of the drought during this period, the river stopped flowing and all of it was exposed.

Yun Zhixin took the soldiers to pile up the bones at the bottom of the river every day, and even several surrounding villages came to help, and they were going to collect them together and cremate them collectively.

Originally, he wanted to dig a pit and bury them deeply, but there were too many bones, so Yun Zhixin used the gasoline stored by the army to gather all the corpses together and cremate them.

Sicheng and the others were going to stop to help, but Yun Zhixin and the others refused, because the troops who moved south to find water had also arrived, and they all stopped to help when they saw this situation.Then it won't do much for them to stay here, so it's better to finish the matter earlier.

In fact, Yun Zhixin also has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, that is, he doesn't want to expose Sicheng's ability to these people too early.

"Brother, there is a village going forward, but there are not many people in this village, let's go over and ask." Wu Yong acted as the guide along the way, because he is familiar with this area, he came to the direction of the county After going back and forth a few times, I became familiar with this side.

"Go and ask first, but we have to wait until we come back to change the salt. If they can't eat so much, then it's not easy for us to travel with food."

"Then I'll ask first." Wu Yong naturally did not refuse, not to mention helping the nearby villages first if he could. After all, there are many new farmers who have gone to the countryside like himself.

After a while, Wu Yong came back, "Brother, I have already told them the ratio of exchange, they can't exchange much, we only need to leave thirty catties for them at that time."

The exchange rate has already been established in their village. Although it is a bit inflated, it takes them two months to bring back the salt.

"Then let's hurry up, maybe we can exchange all the salt without going to the city." Sicheng himself wanted to go to the city to find out the situation, but he met soldiers who moved south in the county, and suddenly felt that he was in the city. It doesn't make sense, since there are troops stationed there, the place will definitely not be chaotic, so I should just stay in the village and continue farming.

However, the demand for this salt can be inquired about. If there is a certain demand, then you can make two more trips.

"Brother, our side is better. I just saw that although the river in their village is cut off, there is still groundwater there. Although it is not so convenient to get water, there is really no problem for a while, not to mention that I just It seems that they are also taking some measures, they actually widened the mouth of the underground well, it seems that as long as the underground river does not dry up, there will be no problem on their side." Wu Yong told Sicheng what he saw.

"This is a good thing. If there is no water here, then we will have to migrate to the south like the troops we met before. I just don't know if we can find a better place than ours. "Sicheng thought of his previous life, although the south was not so dry, but many water sources were controlled by the locals, so they had to keep looking for water along the way, and sometimes they took a fork in the road, which led to them not leaving for so many years. arrive.

"I don't know what happened to my former colleagues. At that time, they went further north. If my brother hadn't been a soldier here, maybe we would have gone there with them." Wu Yong is now I am extremely worried about those colleagues before him, and I don't know if they can be as lucky as myself and find a place with mountains and rivers.

Gao Shitou and Gu Dongzhi glanced at each other, feeling very grateful in their hearts.

Although Si Cheng has more memories of a lifetime, he really doesn't know the situation further north.We can only hope that the impact over there will be less, or we don't know what kind of disaster we will suffer.

Now when everyone was on their way in silence, they met soldiers who personally brought some people who were willing to stay there to the countryside this time. Although many villages here are gone, the land is still there, even if some people were diverted from the city before. , but there is still a lot of wasteland for these people to continue to open up wasteland.

"Are you from the nearby village?" Lao Ma heard the report from the people who came out to check the news, saying that there is still a lot of open space here, and that he has negotiated with the villagers here, and is about to take people to this side After all, if people can be resettled as soon as possible, they should be resettled as soon as possible, otherwise everyone's surplus food will not be able to withstand this situation and will only go in and out.

"We're from Pinghe Village, and we're going to a nearby village to exchange some food." Si Cheng saw the crowd with big and small bags behind him, and guessed what they were going to do.Sicheng

"You guys are really good! There are such strong cattle." The old horse looked at the cattle on the road with bright eyes.

"These cattle are used for plowing. They are usually very precious. This time they are brought out because there are too many things to bring." Wu Yong felt a little anxious when he saw his eyes fixed on the cattle, and quietly The two couples, Gu Dongzhi and Gao Shitou, who were following him, got a little nervous when they saw him like this.

"I said you're too nervous, young man. I'm just praising your cattle. I don't mean anything else." The old horse couldn't help laughing when he saw the action of the young man in front of him.

"Where are you going?" Si Cheng saw Wu Yong's embarrassment because of this sentence, and asked back first.

"It's not that your side has good mountains and water. Many people want to settle here." Lao Ma really thinks that the conditions here are better than where they lived before. At least there are more mountains and more water, so there are more resources. If you do, then you will definitely not starve to death.

"It's pretty good, but there are many mountains, and there are many wild animals on the mountains. You still have to take good precautions, especially those villages where no one lives, and you have to pay more attention to safety." Si Cheng's words were not threatening. They, but after he came back, he found that the traces of the beast's actions here were more obvious.

At times like this, those animals will recover faster than humans, and the animals in the north that lack water will also start to migrate to places with water sources based on intuition. Next, what they may have to face is not the problem of water shortage, but these Beast problem.
