Chapter 5 Going into the mountains to find food

Gu Dashan said with a smile, but everyone in the Cui family knew that even if they found food, they would have to turn it in. Before the food was paid back, their family of six would have to live by chewing leaves and eating grass roots and bark.

“Boss, you want to starve us to death. Why don’t you hurry up and find food? If you don’t find enough food today, I will skin the Cui family and her daughter!”

 Gu Dashan just said a word to Mrs. Cui, and Mrs. Gu felt that he was being lazy on purpose and started to yell.

 “Mom, I’m going to find food right now.”

Gu Dashan was afraid that Mrs. Gu would come and beat someone again, so he quickly responded and took An Geer to join the people looking for food in the village, and together they went to find food nearby.

 After Mrs. Gu ordered Gu Dashan and his son, she scolded Ms. Cui again: "Ms. Cui, you are a lazy idiot. Do you still care about me, your mother-in-law? Why don't you hurry up and spread the mat?"

"Come on, mother." Mrs. Cui dragged her tired body and swayed towards the old Gu's house. She turned back and said to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, your injury is not healed yet. Don't go out to look for food. I'm with you." Sister and Brother Cheng stay here to rest."

Gu Jinli didn't want Mrs. Cui to worry, so he said against his will: "I understand, mother."

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and get reincarnated! Why are you talking so much? Why don't you come here quickly? How long do you want the old woman to stand there?" Old Mrs. Gu was cursing again.

The old Gu family members stood nearby and waited. No one went to work. When Cui came, they cleaned the floor. After picking up the gravel on the floor, they took off the mat and spread it, and put on a thin quilt. Helped Mrs. Gu to sit down.

After waiting for old lady Gu to rest, Ms. Cui was busy looking for firewood to make a fire.

 Gu Jinli looked at it with a fierce look in his eyes, and was about to go over to help, when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Xiaoyu, Sister Xiu, Brother Cheng, my mother asked me to come and play with you."

A little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a patchwork skirt, ran to the straw mat of Gu Jinli's house. When she saw Gu Jinli, she said happily: "Xiaoyu, I heard last night that you were awake and wanted to come see you, but It’s too late, my parents won’t let me.”

Gu Jinli looked at the little girl and said with a smile: "Your parents are right, it is very chaotic now. You, a girl, should not run around at night."

The little girl’s name is Luo Huiniang, and she belongs to one of the few families in Gujia Village with two surnames. His father, Luo Tiezhu, used to be a bodyguard, but later he was injured and stopped working as a bodyguard, so he moved his wife Chu and their children from the county to Gujiacun and settled down on ten acres of land.

The Luo family is living a good life. Luo's father and Gu Dashan are brothers who have known each other for more than 20 years. They have a very good relationship, and the relationship between the Chu family and the Cui family is also good.

During the escape, every time they stopped to rest, the Luo family and the Chu family would run to find food and water. The Chu family would ask Luo Huiniang to come and play with them. In fact, they asked the children of the two families to look after each other and avoid getting into trouble.

This time Gu Jinli was injured. The Luo family was the one who lent the most food to his family. The Luo family gave their family the bamboo tube of water. They also helped their family from time to time during the past three days. Otherwise, Gu Dashan and the others would not have been able to survive.

"Then I'll be relieved." Luo Huiniang said and glared at Gu Jinli: "You should have called me when you went to find food. If I were here, how could the Niu brothers dare to do anything?"

Luo's father was a bodyguard and taught his son Luo Wu martial arts since he was a child. Luo Huiniang also followed suit. Although she was not as good as her father and brother, she was capable in boxing.

He also scolded the Niu brothers: "Niu Dazhuang and the others are really nothing. Not only did they **** your sweet potatoes, but they also beat you together. Don't worry, my brother and I will definitely avenge you."

Gu Jinli liked this cheerful and lively girl very much. After she finished scolding the Niu brothers, she raised her head and glanced at the resting place of the old Gu family. She could no longer see Mrs. Cui, so she had to stop thinking about helping and said to Luo Huiniang: "Come sit here and watch over my sister and Brother Cheng for me while I go find something to eat."

With that said, Gu Jinxiu got up and ran away, and it was too late for Gu Jinxiu to stop him.

“Xiaoyu is really, what if we meet the Niu brothers again?” Gu Jinxiu was frightened when she thought of Xiaoyu lying in a pool of blood. "What should I do? Beat them up. Sister Xiu, you have such a good temper." Luo Huiniang looked at Gu Xiaoyu's back with envy on her face. She also wanted to find food, but her parents told her that Sister Xiu has too much temper. Okay, Brother Cheng is too young. She is not here to play with them, but to protect them. There are so many victims. If she leaves them to find food, those victims with bad intentions will definitely come to bully Sister Xiuer and Cheng. brothers.

 …

Gu Jinli had already run more than ten meters away and looked at the resting place. It was at the foot of a big mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was a river that had dried up to the point where only mud was left.

Victims scattered like ants, searching for food at the foot of the mountain, on the mountainside, or even venturing into the mountains.

But the drought continued, and a large number of victims passed by before them, eating almost all the food they could eat. When it was their turn, only half-yellow leaves and withered grass were left.

 There is no other way. People without food can only pull down leaves, dig grass roots, and peel bark from trees to satisfy their hunger.

Gu Jinli walked around the area and dug up only a dozen grass roots that were still somewhat hydrated, and nothing else that was edible.

She raised her head and looked towards the mountains, and saw groups of young people going into the mountains to find food, and they also walked towards the mountains.

This mountain is very big. There are some semi-withered trees and weeds on the periphery of the mountain. Entering the mountain, there are more trees and the leaves are a little green. There are more weeds than at the bottom of the mountain, but there are no wild vegetables, only small holes that have been dug out. .

 Obviously, all the wild vegetables here were dug up by the large number of previous victims.

Gu Jinli found a walnut-thick branch nearby, quickly rubbed the two ends of the branch against the stone nearby, and sharpened the pointed head to use it as a weapon. He held the branch and walked towards the mountain. There were many more on the way. Disaster victims entering the mountains in search of food.

"Xiaoyu, why did you go into the mountains? You just woke up last night, and you came here to look for food today. You kid is going to die."

 Gu Xiaoyu heard the sound and turned around to see Mrs. Chu, the third grandma in the next room, Aunt Tian, ​​and Aunt Tian's two daughters, Tian Erhua and Tian Xiaohua. They all carried a basket made of wild grass in their hands, which contained a few handfuls of half-green leaves and a few bundles of grass roots.

 It seems that everyone has very little food left and is starting to eat leaves, grass and roots.

She called to someone with a smile and replied: "I'm fine now. There's no food at home. Brother Cheng is very hungry. I'll go into the mountains to look for some food."

After hearing this, the three adults sighed, life is hard, God is so **** people.

Tian Erhua and Tian Xiaohua were so hungry that they had no energy and did not speak. They only smiled shyly at her.

The third grandmother was worried that Gu Jinli would meet the Niu brothers again, so she took the initiative and said, "Xiaoyu, you come with us, we will take care of you."

Aunt Tian, ​​Mrs. Chu, and the third grandma all had a very good relationship with their family. Gu Jinli was willing to go look for food with them and nodded: "Okay."

A group of six people walked into the mountain. Along the way, they would pick off greener leaves and put them away.

Mrs. Chu said: "In front of us are the victims of Xing'an Prefecture, Yongcheng Prefecture, and Daliang Prefecture. A lot of food has been eaten up by them. If we go forward, there will be less and less food on the road. Maybe even the leaves will be gone." No, eat more leaves now and save other food that can be saved first, so that you can survive in the future."
