Gu Zhang nodded: “It’s much closer over there, but I heard there’s flooding there. It’s hard to live with this drought and flood.”

The old man waved his hand: “Don’t be afraid of floods during summer. If it’s flooded during winter, the water will have receded long ago.”

He thought to himself while thinking: “It seems that we can’t go to Xishan County, we have to go to Hanzhong County.”

Gu Fei couldn’t help but think that there were no detailed records in the history textbooks. She didn’t know how serious the floods in the south were. If the water rose in Hanzhong County, there would be many victims.

Often when a dynasty was about to perish, it may be at the end of its tether, which was accompanied by natural and man-made disasters.

However, Gu Fei did not advise the old man not to go to Hanzhong County. Each of his family carried baggage, and there was no food left. It was impossible to go to Donghai County.

Hanzhong County borders Xiqin County, which is not too far away. There may be a way to survive if you go that way.

Just as she was thinking about it, Gu Fei saw a large cluster of wilting purslane growing in the field not far from the official road, and she felt happy.

Although the food at home was sufficient, they also brought some dried vegetables and pickled vegetables, but who would let go of fresh and edible wild vegetables?

If they don’t eat vegetables for a few days, they won’t be able to poop.

She ran over, but before she got close, she saw a boy who was faster than her. He ran up to her in a few steps, quickly pulled out the purslane, and threw it into the basket on his back.

Gu Fei stopped, looked at it for a while, turned around, and walked away silently.

This boy and the old man belong to the same family. They may survive on these wild vegetables. Her family still have food to eat.

Uncle Ma looked at it from a distance. There were still a lot of purslanes. Gu Fei wanted to pull them out, but she turned around midway and refused to fight with the boy.

This girl was kind-hearted.

Such a kind little girl, was she a spy?

Uncle Ma doesn’t think so.

After walking for almost an hour, Uncle Ma asked everyone to stop.

Gu Fei took a sip of water from her water bag tied with red thread. She saw Huzi was wilting, so she hurriedly walked over and said: “Auntie, you and Huzi get in the carriage and have a rest.”

Mrs. Li said hesitantly: “This, this is not good, I just rested for a short time. There are so many people in your family, everyone has to take turns to rest.”

“Besides, you’re not completely healed from your injuries. Just go and rest yourself. I can still walk.”

Gu Fei couldn’t help but help her to go to her mule carriage, opened the curtain, and let Mrs. Li get on the cart.

When Huzi got in the car, Gu Fei secretly stuffed a piece of modern beef jerky produced by space into his hand and whispered: “Eat it quietly by yourself, don’t tell Bao’er.”

Huzi grasped the beef jerky tightly and nodded nervously.

When Xiao Cao got out of the car, Gu Fei stuffed candy into her mouth and secretly handed one to Li Chunhua.

Then she asked Lanzhi to open her mouth and gave her one to eat.

Gu Fei thought she was doing it secretly, but she didn’t expect that she couldn’t hide it from Uncle Ma who had been staring at her.

Uncle Ma squinted his eyes. This girl was so mysterious when she gave someone candy. Alas, a little girl is a little girl and a piece of candy is worth that much for her.

Just as he was thinking about it, Bao’er ran over and looked at Gu Fei stretching out his hand: “I walked today, please give me candy.”

Gu Fei hated this boy more and more. He even robbed her of smoked rabbit meat yesterday. She said harshly: “No more. The candy is very expensive. I gave you the remaining one yesterday.”

Lanzhi next to her quickly shut her mouth. Xiao Cao was even more exaggerated, stretching out her little hand to cover her mouth tightly.

Ugh, poor Xiao Cao, she didn’t know there was a saying, that there are no three hundred taels of silver buried here.

 

*There are no 300 taels silvers buried here – doing something to hide a secret but ending up revealing it.
