Xinpeng is no exception, he and his grandmother's rations need to be found every day, the prey near the mountains has been hunted by Xinpeng and disappeared, and there are no people selling grain in the capital, grain sellers have hoarded all the food, some keep it for their own consumption, and some keep it until everyone can't eat the rations and then take it out to make a big profit.

Xinpeng couldn't find food, and he couldn't hunt prey, Xinpeng had no choice but to cut down the bark to satisfy himself and his grandmother, Xinpeng was very disappointed in himself, if he couldn't find food every day, Xinpeng would blame himself fiercely, of course, grandma would not blame Xinpeng in any way.

It's not a way to only eat the bark, not to mention that there is no salt to eat, and without eating salt for many days, Xinpeng's physical strength has been weakened to the extreme, and sometimes Xinpeng feels that the axe is not stable, and often when cutting the bark, the axe will still go out, which was completely absent before.

Most of the trees on the mountain have also withered with the cold, and in this back mountain, there are no pine trees, and the other trees can't withstand such cold, almost all of them have died, and there are only withered trees left.

By the time he didn't even have the bark to eat, Xin Peng was already desperate, and now he couldn't buy rations if he didn't have money, so the desperate Xin Peng thought about which big family to go to steal food.

In this cold winter, almost every family has nothing to do, and if it is a snowstorm during the day, there is not a single figure in sight on the streets of the city, and even the patrolling soldiers are reluctant to come out.

Xin Peng braved the goose feathers and heavy snow to mix into the capital, it was already noon at this time, Xin Peng looked at the chimneys of every household, as long as there was thick black smoke in the chimneys, then this family must not be short of firewood and rice.

Xin Peng aimed at a family, but this family did not look very wealthy, but when Xin Peng climbed over the wall, he saw that the courtyard of this family was full of dry firewood, and there were piles of corn cobs in the corner of the yard.

Xin Peng decided that it was a rich family, so Xin Peng leaned over to the window, but the scene inside the house made Xin Peng completely lose the idea of stealing rice.

Xin Peng saw that there was a family of three in the house, the middle-aged man was lying on the kang, and a young girl was kneeling next to him, and the middle-aged woman was boiling a medicine pot in the kitchen.

But after that, Xin Peng didn't see any of the chimneys emitting thick black smoke, most of them were not smoking, Xin Peng could see that even many people in the capital couldn't eat.

Xin Peng finally found that only those rich families in the capital really had food, and other ordinary people did not eat lunch at home, so Xin Peng groped into a merchant's house.

This family is a land-sitting household in the capital, and it was very famous before it was destroyed by Chang Shipeng in the capital, Xin Peng groped into the wing room as soon as he came in, and through the window, Xin Peng saw a group of people eating in the wing, and the bowls in the hands of these people were full of white rice, and there were pickles to eat, which made Xin Peng envious.

Xin Peng took advantage of the fact that everyone was eating, and groped directly into the kitchen along the aroma of rice, and there was still half a pot of rice in the pot in the kitchen, Xin Peng grabbed the rice in the pot and stuffed it into his mouth, until he choked.

Xin Peng drank a few sips of cold water from the water tank next to him, then found a large basin, filled all the rice in the pot, and carried away the two generations of rice stacked in the corner.

Xin Peng returned with a full load, now he has food and he doesn't have to worry, these grains are enough to eat with his grandmother for two months, with these two months, Xin Peng feels that he will definitely be able to find more food.

Back home, Xin Peng smiled and said to his grandmother that he had found food, of course Xin Peng said that the food was bought, otherwise Xin Peng knew that his grandmother would not eat the stolen food.

Xin Peng didn't feel comfortable with these grains, and Xin Peng felt that he had to find more food, preferably to hunt prey, and most importantly, to find salt.

As soon as he thought of salt, Xin Peng suddenly realized why he didn't come back with some salt when he was stealing rice just now, so Xin Peng went back again.

When Xin Peng went back, the old man who had stolen the rice already knew about the theft of the kitchen, and the old man attributed all the fault to the subordinates, Xin Peng saw that the subordinates who could eat were all kneeling in the snow in the courtyard, and several subordinates were even stripped of their clothes, and the subordinates were shivering from the cold, looking like they were in pain.

Xin Peng felt that he might have made a big mistake, before stealing rice, Xin Peng didn't think that there would be such a big consequence at all, Xin Peng felt sorry for those subordinates, his own fault really shouldn't be borne by those subordinates, so Xin Peng sneaked into the yard.

Xin Peng climbed into the courtyard from the side door, there was no one to guard here, or it may be that the guard's subordinates were all kneeling in the front yard, and Xin Peng searched house by house until he groped into someone's house.

There was an old man sitting on the kang in the house, Xin Peng thought that there was only one old man in the house, Xin Peng opened the door directly, as soon as he opened the door, Xin Peng saw seven or eight big men sitting in the corner of the house.

These people were obviously the old man's bodyguards, and Xin Peng didn't want to clash with them, so when he found that someone was there, he hurriedly closed the door, and climbed out of the wall along the road he came from, and Xin Peng ran away in a puff of smoke.

Xin Peng thought that he would run away smoothly, but he didn't expect those people to chase after Xin Peng's footprints, and those people beat the gong and shouted to catch the thief while chasing them.

The sound soon reached the ears of the soldiers, and a wave of patrol soldiers came out to see what was going on, and after learning that it was a big family that had stolen it, the patrol soldiers fully cooperated with those bodyguards to hunt down Xin Peng all over the city.

In the streets of the capital where the snow is very deep, as long as you follow the footprints, you can directly catch Xinpeng, so no matter how Xinpeng runs, he can't avoid the pursuit, and Xinpeng himself has not yet found out that it was his footprints that betrayed him.

The originally quiet capital was noisy by the gongs and drums stirred by the soldiers, and every household also ran out to see the excitement, but this also helped Xinpeng, and the people stepped on the streets with footprints, so that the soldiers did not know which was Xinpeng's footprints.

Xin Peng threw off the soldiers like this, but at this time Xin Peng still did not escape from the capital, but came to the center of the capital.
