Quick travel to save a miserable life

Chapter 444 A woman on the run 19

Before going to bed, Lin Hui added some ingredients to her campfire, so the Zhang family all slept very deeply.

She quickly stood up, hid in the surrounding darkness, and ran all the way to the camp of the group, hiding aside and observing in secret.

There were seven people in the group, all of them young and strong. Although their clothes were shabby and their faces were dusty, they didn't look like victims of the disaster. The little girl they bought during the day hadn't had time to cook yet. She was lying on the side, not knowing whether she was sleeping. Even though he was alive, he was still unconscious.

Lin Hui wanted to find out their identities, but she listened attentively for a long time. They were all talking about which restaurant's wine was delicious and which store's wine was strong. Such useless words were of no use at all. information.

Lin Hui was worried that she would be discovered if she stayed out for too long, so she simply stopped trying to find out his identity.

No matter who they are, if they can openly eat two-legged sheep, they all deserve to die!

Fine powder floated along the wind to the group of people, and after a while, they fell down one by one.

Lin Hui didn't want to dirty her silver needle, so she took a thick and long steel needle, harvested the lives one by one, and then put all their luggage into the space.

After everything was done, she checked the pulse of the skinny little girl who was still sleeping, and found that the child was just fainting from hunger.

It is a pity that she is still a burden with a child in the eyes of others. They cannot take her back to raise her. They can only send her back to her parents in the hope that she will not be sold again.

Lin Hui picked up the child and walked quickly, placing her next to their village. Then she quietly returned to her camp and lay back down again.

Early the next morning, Lin Hui heard about the strange thing that happened in the next village: the child who was sold yesterday appeared in her village again this morning.

But the child was too young and couldn't even speak clearly. She would just shake her head no matter what she asked. Her parents decided to wait and see what happened.

If a buyer comes for it, then let someone take the child away. If no one comes for it, then forget it and just think that the child should belong to their family. This fate will last forever and they will not sell it in the future.

Today's breakfast is a sweet potato, cut into more than a dozen pieces, boiled in water, and shared with the whole family.

If Lin Hui didn't have the space of her own and could secretly cook a small stove from time to time, sooner or later she wouldn't be able to keep the baby in her belly just by relying on this kind of food.

The two monkeys in the big room didn't even have the energy to make trouble. After traveling for such a long time every day, everyone was tired and hungry, and they didn't even want to say anything, let alone anything else.

Even Zhang Shen and Shen Xiuhua gradually became silent, and they no longer had the energy to be picky and talkative.

After eating, the group started on the road again.

It's almost autumn now, and the weather is not that hot anymore. We can wait until daybreak before setting off, but the rest time at noon is also greatly shortened.

Although the journey time has been extended, the distance I walk every day is not longer than before. The main reason is that I am not full and I am too hungry to walk fast at all.

Although it is harvest season, there are some wild fruit trees and other things on the roadside from time to time, but their village is at the end of the queue. After the people in front pass, there will be nothing left, and the villagers will not have their turn at all.

Three or four days later, news suddenly came from the team that the towns ahead had begun to receive victims.

However, each state and county has a certain number of disaster victims. Once the number is complete, no new victims will be admitted, and the excess people can only rush to the next town.

The people at the end of the queue couldn't help but feel anxious. If by the time they arrived at their home, others had already arranged for them, what should they do if they didn't find a place to live?

As a result, everyone began to rush forward, hoping to be accepted and settled by the government first.

By the time it was the turn of the people in Niujia Village to be resettled, it was already four days later, and the entire village had been resettled in a place called Fuliang County.

This place is located on the east bank of Pengli Lake. The climate is warm and humid, there are few disasters, and crops are grown smoothly. It is a good and fertile place.

However, the prosperity of this place is not due to farming, but to the local porcelain. Almost every village has a kiln, and the porcelain produced is sold far north and south. There are even several royal kilns in the county, which are dedicated to burning tributes.

As soon as the village chief heard that everyone was going to be assigned to Fuliang County, he was extremely excited. He told everyone this to explain how wealthy Fuliang was, so that everyone would not have to worry about making a living there in the future.

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the boundary of Fuliang, they started to work before they could stand firm.

There are more than a thousand people who were assigned to Fuliang County together with the villagers of Niujia Village. People from each village were scattered and resettled in different villages. According to the statistical household registration list, they were divided into groups and designated areas, and then went to their respective villages. Build shacks in the area.

Lin Hui and the Zhang family were assigned to a place called Liangjiaji.

According to the household registration, each family is assigned a place to build a shed, dig a nest in the ground, or build your own house if you don't mind the trouble. In short, this place belongs to you for the time being. You can clean it up however you want.

After everyone discussed it, and based on their own circumstances, they decided to dig a nest in the ground to live in. It was sturdier than a shed, could withstand freezing in winter, and required less manpower.

Some people didn't want to put in the effort, so they found some thicker sticks and straw to build a shed.

No one chooses to build a house. Everyone just regards this place as a temporary place to stay, hoping to go back next spring when the weather improves. They have no long-term plans to stay here, so no one will bother to build a house. room.

Digging is simple and easy to operate, so it is the first choice for many people.

It means digging a hole in flat land, about one meter deep and square in shape. The size of the hole can be determined according to the number of people who want to live there. If there are two people, then a square of two to three meters will be enough.

Then build a low wall of about half a meter with adobe bricks around it, put a few rafters on top, put up a raft made of branches, and then cover it with grass leaves and mud. In this way, a nest is completed.

The most troublesome part is just adobe bricks, but Fuliang County produces porcelain and there is no shortage of good soil. Some soils are not good for making porcelain, but they are more than enough for making adobe bricks.

Because the adobe needs some time to dry, this must be done first.

The government has designated places where soil can be dug, and everyone goes to dig soil, mix mud, make molds, and make adobe bricks.

Zhang Shitou took the other three adults in his family to dig soil, mix mud, and make adobe bricks.

Lin Hui's task was to take several children to find straw, chop it up and add it to the mud to increase the strength of the adobe bricks.
