Chapter 969: The Old Lady Who Starved to Death (8)
"Understood, Grandma!
But if we leave, will you miss us, and our new cross-breeding experiment is not over yet, if we leave now, I'm afraid that Xiaolong Xiaohu will not be able to keep up......
Belch...... And ......"
Because Zhang Dou is the oldest in the valley except for arbor, and he is also the head of other children, his status in the valley is basically similar to that of a big housekeeper, who cares about everything and worries about everything.
It's like an old mother.
At this time, although he already had the idea of going out, he was still worried about this and that, for fear that if he left, there would be problems in the valley.
But this time, Qiao Mu didn't listen to him like before, and directly interrupted him:
"Don't think about it so much.
Aren't you still with me when you're not there?
I can do everything you do, and don't forget, I teach you everything you do.
Go out and explore.
The young eagle has to leave the nest after all.
However, I still have some words to tell you to take all your things with you when you leave, and it's still a mess outside, so you must pay attention to safety.
If possible, help Zhang Hui more.
Don't let her be bullied.
That's about it, okay, that's it, don't worry too much about the house when you go out.
When your younger brothers and sisters reach the age, I will also let them out, and it is best that you can achieve something, so that no one will run to them, and the most important thing for you to go out now is to establish a foothold first, and leave a direction for your younger brothers and sisters to run to.
That way I can feel a little more at ease.
Okay, go back and rest and pack your things.
Let's go tomorrow. ”
Anyway, I have to go, instead of staying here for a few more days, a few more sad days.
It's better to leave tomorrow.
Save time and emotion.
It's not a life or death.
There are still arbors that live to the stability of the world, and they will naturally be able to reunite when the time comes.
Zhang Dou knows Qiao Mu very well, and seeing that she has already said so, she naturally won't squirm and pinch to say that this is not good, that is not good, and finally said very happily that she will work hard outside, so that her younger brothers and sisters will not have a partner.
Then he left with the others.
Or leave with the rest of the people.
Leave and go back to pack your things.
Prepare to leave tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Qiao Mu took the rest of the people in the valley to hold a farewell party for them, and also prepared a lot of gold, silver and jewelry for them to serve as the starting capital for several of them.
Before leaving, Zhang Dou and the five of them all turned around at the same time and kowtowed three times to the arbor, and then, in the reluctant farewell of the other younger brothers and sisters, they resolutely left the valley and left this peach source pure land.
Go to the troubled times outside to struggle.
As for the final result, this arbor is not easy to say, all she can do is to give each of them something that does not belong to this era when they leave, and give them some protection, such as amulet soft armor, death charms and the like, and try to save their lives.
Of course, these things can't guarantee that they will never die, at most they can only say that they can give them a few more chances, and if they still have an accident in this way, then Qiao Mu is okay.
Next, it can only be seen how well they have learned in the past ten years, and how lucky they are.
……
Zhang Dou who left Taoyuan Valley, they all rode cattle to leave, no way, they didn't have horses in the valley at all, but there were a lot of cattle and sheep, and the sheep definitely couldn't ride, so they could only ride the bull, so if they didn't want to walk to the Central Plains, they could only ride a bull.
Fortunately, when they were young, they did not graze less cattle, so they were very familiar with the habits of the cattle and the cow they were riding, although the speed was far less than that of the horse, but it was faster and more convenient than walking, so it only took more than half a month in total, and they left the grassland smoothly and officially entered the chaotic Central Plains.
It wasn't until they saw the situation at this time that the memories of ten years ago resurfaced in their minds.
"The world is too chaotic, we only ride a few oxen, we have been robbed three times along the way, and the most terrible thing is that I haven't seen any farmland on the way.
No one farms, what do they live on?
Do they all live by robbery? ”
Although the people who came to rob were all driven away by them, Zhang Dou's mood was still very heavy at this time, especially when they saw those ragged and thin people waving wooden sticks at them, they felt a sense of sadness.
"I'm afraid it's not, and it's pretty much the same.
I thought that after ten years, this land should be able to regain some life.
But I didn't expect that the grass and trees had grown, but the situation was even worse than back then.
Back then, it was a drought in the world, and it was really impossible to plant, but now it can barely be regarded as a smooth weather, but there is still no one to plant, what is wrong with this world, where do they get the food? ”
Alxa is also very entangled.
The situation outside was quite different from what they imagined, and not long after they came in, the reality had completely shattered their illusions.
As far as the eye can see, there is no prosperity.
Some are just dilapidated, desolate and barbaric.
It's not as good as it was back then.
"I've read a book that explains that when people can't get food from farming, or when farming doesn't outweigh the losses, they give up on it altogether and find ways to survive through other means.
If I'm not mistaken, the people must have planted it before, but the food they got after planting hardly went into their pockets, and more than once, and after one or two times, naturally no one wanted to plant. ”
As Zhang Hui was talking, a small army had already rushed in not far away, probably only a few dozen people, they hurried in on horseback, and as soon as they came to them, they pointed their spears at them:
"Where did the rebels dare to steal cattle?
Catch them and kill them. ”
After saying these high-sounding words, the other soldiers who followed the leading soldier quickly surrounded Zhang Dou and them, and had already drawn their knives, ready to cut them down.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Dou Alxa and they couldn't help but look at each other and smiled bitterly, it seems that Zhang Hui is right, whether this cow was stolen or not, can they still not know, but this soldier didn't even ask, he wanted to kill them.
Take away the ox they are riding.
Treat them like this.
What about the people who farm?
You don't have to think about it to know it's any better.
This kind of fishing is simply ridiculous, but it has appeared in this grandiose manner.
You can see the stupidity of the warlords of the Northwest.
and the survival of the people here.
No wonder there are bandits everywhere and you can't see the people.
I'm afraid only bandits can survive here.
Civilians simply do not survive.
