Chapter 380 Don’t be afraid of the cold, grow up well!
Behind them, the people of Linshan Village stood at the door, watching them gradually go away.
An elder of the clan sighed, "These people in the North Courtyard are all kindhearted people, but I don't know what the future holds for them!"
Village Chief Yang took a deep breath:
“Good people will be rewarded!
Alas, I have advised Brother Lu many times to let them stay, but it never works.
It was Brother Lu who advised us to always pay attention to the situation outside.
It is said that the wall and gate will be reinforced if there is a chance.
If the barbarians really come to attack, this will also buy the villagers some time to run to the mountains for shelter."
Many people in the village heard this and sighed at the kindness of the people in the North Courtyard.
In the crowd, Tingmei finally stopped crying and pulled her sister's clothes.
“Sister, my sister-in-law gave us new names.
Your name is Yang Ruomei and my name is Yang Ruoting!
My sister-in-law said, I hope you can grow up well like the plum blossoms, not afraid of the cold weather!
After hearing this, Jian Ya couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes any longer and burst into tears.
Not far away, Yang Shubao was wearing a torn cotton coat with dirty cotton wool showing through it. He was so thin that his eyes were bulging outwards.
Seeing Jianya like this, I shuddered subconsciously.
On the distant road, Bai Xing'er in the team suppressed the tears in her eyes and exhaled deeply.
Ever since she knew she was leaving a few days ago, she thought about it again and again, and finally went to find Cui and gave the little girl Tingmei a new name.
In this way, their previous friendship was preserved.
From then on, she had nothing to do with the Yang family.
A new life is waiting for her!
......
In the team, Qin Lang was driving the ox cart and Lu Qingqing was sitting next to him, both of them had warm cloth wrapped around their faces.
At this time, the sun has risen in the east.
In the distant fields, the dots of green are particularly eye-catching.
The sun shines in large swathes, accompanied by a gentle breeze, which feels like a spring outing.
When everyone saw this scene, their originally tense mood eased a little.
Not long after we walked out, we came across the first village next to the main road.
When they went to buy pork, they passed by this village. At that time, the whole village was blocked by a high ice wall.
Today, where the ice wall once stood is empty, with only muddy ground.
From a distance, the whole village looked dilapidated, without even a trace of life.
Everyone's good mood disappeared after seeing this scene.
However, this scene is just the beginning.
Along the way, there were more than a dozen villages with the same scene.
Among them, there was a village right next to the main road, and there were many corpses piled at the entrance of the village.
Seeing this, Lu Tianming subconsciously covered his face with his scarf and shouted to the team behind him:
"Everyone, wrap the cloths on your faces tightly and keep an eye on the children. Don't take them off!"
In fact, many people had already done it before Lu Tianming shouted.
They had experienced the plague and were most afraid of being infected when they saw corpses.
The few people who didn't expect it also hurriedly put them on after Lu Tianming reminded them.
The team sped up and passed through the area.
The road conditions along the way were not very good.
In many places, after the snow melted, the remaining snow water has not dried up yet.
The wheels left muddy tracks after passing over them.
In the team, the shoes of those families who relied on human power to pull the carts were soaked and covered with mud.
It was cold and wet, really uncomfortable.
Lu Tianming slowed down deliberately out of consideration for the person pulling the cart behind him.
After all, everyone had a winter off.
I will set out again this time and adapt first so that there will be fewer problems.
At noon, the team encountered the first group of refugees.
There were only three people in this group of refugees.
Before he could get close to them, Lu Tianming had already picked up the big knife at hand.
Without him saying anything, everyone in the team picked up their weapons and looked at the three men vigilantly.
Lu Qingqing was at the front of the team. As she got closer, she could see the three people clearly.
The three of them were wearing tattered clothes, and the scarves wrapped around their heads could not hide their messy hair.
They carried a dark blue torn bag on their backs.
He walked with a hunched back and staggered, as if all his weight was on the stick he was leaning on.
It was not until they got closer that the three heard the noise and turned around slowly.
Even though they had expected it, everyone was still shocked by the appearance of these three people.
The skin on their faces seemed to be close to their bones, and their extreme thinness made their eyes and mouths bulge out.
When they saw the carriage, they licked their lips, revealing their yellow teeth, and their eyes gleamed with greed and ferocity.
But there are too many people in this team, and they will only die if they go up.
If there were only three or five people, they would rush in and grab it at the risk of their lives.
But there were too many people, so they could only watch.
Seeing this, Lu Tianming waved his whip and increased his speed.
In the team, families with children put their children in the cars early.
They quickly overtook the three men, fearing that they would snatch the things and hurt their children.
In fact, after a whole winter of consumption, a lot of food had been consumed in everyone's cars.
There is a big difference compared to the cart that was piled high and full when I first entered Linshan Village.
But even so, it was a big deal in the eyes of the disaster victims on the road.
Along the way, the team encountered several waves of refugees, and when they saw them, their eyes lit up with green light.
Sun Cui sat on the cart and looked at the refugees. She was so scared that she huddled in the cart to protect her stomach and dared not say a word.
It was only on the way out of Linshan Village that she realized it more deeply.
She and her child have to rely on Lu Laosan's protection to survive.
If I were left alone and met those refugees again.
As she thought about it, she shuddered.
Turning around, he saw that Lu Laosan was sweating from pushing the cart, so he quickly took out a towel and wiped the sweat off his face.
Before leaving, the two were still angry with each other because of an argument and did not speak to each other.
Sun Cui's move now can be regarded as an active gesture of goodwill.
Seeing her like this, and thinking of the baby in her belly, Lu Laosan's anger almost subsided.
Seeing that Sun Cui looked unhappy, he said anxiously:
"What's wrong? I bumped you. Does your stomach hurt?"
Sun Cui was happy to hear that he cared about her, and said hurriedly:
"It's okay, I'm fine, I just tired you out!"
As Sun Cui changed her mind and was willing to be humble and coax Lu Lao San, the two of them returned to their previous way of getting along.
Although Lu Laosan felt tired from the journey, he felt much more relaxed in his heart.
At noon, Lu Tianming stopped at a flat place and prepared to have lunch.
As soon as the convoy stopped, the men responsible for pushing the carts were so tired that they sat down on the carts.
The women felt sorry for their men and started busying themselves with cooking.
Because the road was slippery and they were worried about finding firewood, they took some firewood in the car before leaving.
