Chapter 712 Escape 17
Early in the morning that day, Yuanchun had eaten, carrying a basket on his back, and told Geng Dalin and his wife, "Don't go out, don't go anywhere, just stay at home and take care of your children and home. "
Geng Dalin looked worried, "Mom, it takes three days to go to the county seat. It will take more than an hour, so let your son go with you."
Yuan Chun glared at him, "It's such a disaster. She is a woman at home and has to protect so many children."< br>
“Mom, no one else comes to our village, so what are you afraid of.”
Yuanchun slapped him on the back of the head, "You idiot, there is no one in the village, so outsiders won't come. What if a stranger comes in and sees only a woman and a group of children in the house? The little food in the house must not be used by others." "Everyone has been robbed."
Before leaving, Yuanchun told the two of them, "I may not come back until after dark. Be careful at home. If someone knocks on the door, pretend that no one is at home and don't make any noise. Also, don't light a fire during the day and don't light a lamp when it's dark. Don't let anyone know that there are people living in the village."
"I know, mother, we listen to you."
That's the good thing about Geng Dalin, he will listen to whatever Yuanchun says.
Yuan Chun walked out of Fengling Village and took a small road towards the county seat. Several villages he passed on the road were deserted and they had all fled.
After walking for three hours, Yuanchun finally saw someone when he arrived at the county seat.
There were not many people, sparsely, and there were only a few pedestrians in the whole street. They were all thin and pale, and their legs were wobbly when they walked. At first glance, they looked malnourished and weak from hunger.
She went to the supply and marketing cooperative and saw that there was nothing to eat inside. There were only some daily necessities scattered here and there. The salesperson was sitting behind the counter and was listening to the radio broadcasting the suffering of the drought. Yuanchun went in, walked around and saw nothing to eat, so he left the supply and marketing cooperative again.
She saw an old lady enjoying the shade under a tree, so she went over to say hello, "Sister, let me ask, where can we buy water in our county?"
"Buy water?" The old lady hurriedly waved her hand, "Where can I buy water? Every household doesn't have enough water to drink and cook. Look at my hands, they haven't been washed in a month."
< br>The old lady stretched out a pair of black and dirty hands to show Yuan Chun, "There are only three wells in our county. , there are people controlling it, and each household can only get half a bucket of water. Oh, God, if it doesn’t rain, how many lives will be harvested? How many people will die from this natural and man-made disaster.”
Old. The wife muttered, then suddenly looked at Yuanchun and asked, "Old girl, you are not from the city. Well, I heard that all the people in the village have fled, why didn’t you go?”
“The whole family is old, weak, women and children, and they can’t escape, so they might as well stay at home and survive as long as they can.” Yuanchun sighed and frowned, "Without water and food, the whole family will die." Die together, die at home.”
“Hey, old girl, my family doesn’t even have enough water to drink, so I can’t give it to you. You’d better find water elsewhere, like the few wells in the city. It’s almost dry. If you go look for it on the mountain, you might be able to find a spring.”
After the old lady finished speaking, she stood up and tremblingly went home.
Yuan Chun looked at the depressed streets and felt very depressed. She asked the system, "007, is the drought in this small world nationwide? Is there any place that is not affected by drought? I want to get some water back. , at least let the people in the city survive.”
007 told her, "Host, this drought is nationwide. People all over the country are suffering from drought. However, there is no drought abroad. The host can go abroad to get water."
