A team of several thousand people walked forward, and most of them were hungry. Especially in this early winter, people who had not eaten would feel that the weather was extremely cold.
The wild vegetables are a bit wilted in this season, and even the tenacious shepherd's purse is withering.
As the fleeing people walked, they searched for edible things on the roadside, plants, bark, roots...
At first, the people in the barrier were still reserved, but they were hungry. At this point, all face and dignity no longer exist.
On the contrary, Ren Xiaosu and the others did not have any psychological pressure at all, and they only ate these things on weekdays.
Eating wild vegetables raw is bitter and makes your mouth feel astringent after eating. Some people vomit after eating and cannot stand this kind of food at all.
However, some people are even more unlucky. They foam at the mouth and lie down on the road after eating something.
No one will care about these people lying on the road. Everyone just passes by them indifferently and then moves on, like a group of walking zombies.
Only Ren Xiaosu would stop when he passed by. He looked at the man and said to Yan Liuyuan: "This is the symptom of eating Pulsatilla, which is what we often call wild celery or poisonous ginseng. The leaves of this thing It looks very much like celery. If eaten by mistake, it will cause nausea, vomiting, cold hands and feet, and paralysis of the limbs. In severe cases, it can lead to death." Jiang Wu, who followed silently behind him, memorized these words. Then he warned the students not to pick plants with leaves that look like celery leaves. As a result, the students were confused: What do celery leaves look like?
These students live in the barrier on weekdays. Naturally, their parents help them prepare food, clothing, housing and transportation. Who cares what celery leaves look like?
After these thousands of refugees passed by, the road they walked on was as damaged as if locusts had passed through. At this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly saw an off-road vehicle in front of him. Isn't that the vehicle Luo Lan was riding in? ? Why are you parked here alone?
When everyone walked over and took a look, they were shocked to find that the cross-country vehicle's beam was broken, making it impossible to repair.
The dirt road in this wilderness is bumpy and uneven. Although the off-road vehicle is powerful, it cannot withstand such a toss.
I'm afraid Luo Lan didn't expect that he would encounter such a mess, and had no choice but to abandon the car in the end.
A group of refugees frantically opened the car door to search if there was anything to eat in the car. But to their disappointment, the car was extremely clean, and even the leather covers of the seats had been removed...< /p>
Not only that, some portable parts were also removed. Ren Xiaosu estimated that the removed parts were used as spare parts to prevent other vehicles from malfunctioning again. However, this car is considered Completely ruined.
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that Luo Lan was going to the 109 barrier with all his strength, right? It stands to reason that Luo Lan may have reached the 109 barrier now.
Many refugees today are discussing whether they can still enter the Barrier. Some people say why the 109 Barrier isWhy not let them in? They are legal residents of the barrier!
Although the various barriers are now severely divided, and it is basically the consortium that actually controls them that has the final say, but in name all the barriers are a united front.
Some people also said that they might not be able to enter. The 113 barrier they were in before was managed by the Qing family consortium, but now the 109 barrier they were going to was managed by the Li family consortium. They said they would not let you in. You He really has no temper.
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that big figures in the consortium such as Luo Lan usually did not have to consider the issue of barriers to entry. After all, the Li family wanted to give the Qing family some face.
But others may really be hanging.
They continued to walk forward, but not long after, Ren Xiaosu saw another troop transport truck parked alone on the road...
Is this another broken one? Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was a flat tire!
Is there no spare tire or something? Ren Xiaosu was curious.
When the troop transport truck passed by Ren Xiaosu, he saw that it was full of soldiers and it was obviously overloaded.
If a few more cars break down, Ren Xiaosu estimates that it will be difficult for Luo Lan to reach the 109 barrier...
However, everyone is very happy to see these damaged vehicles. , when Luo Lan and others drove by at lightning speed, the refugees were wondering why you could drive while everyone was walking.
It’s better now, everyone is more mentally balanced.
Everyone rested next to the troop transport truck that night. It couldn't be called "camping" at this time. It was just a lot of people sleeping on the ground in the wilderness.
The ground is very cold. When you lie on the ground, you will feel the cool air from the ground penetrating your body.
Many people want to light a bonfire, but the problem is that they don’t have anything to make a fire with!
After Ren Xiaosu settled down with Yan Liuyuan and the others, he went to collect firewood. The weather was getting colder and colder, so the firewood had to be enough to burn the whole night, otherwise everyone would easily catch a cold when they woke up the next morning. fever.
Although Wang Fugui has medicine, who wants to get sick when they have nothing to do?
Dry firewood is quite easy to find this season. When Ren Xiaosu came back with a large pile of dry firewood, he happened to see Jiang Wuzheng lying on the ground drilling for fire.
The female teacher organized the students to collect a lot of firewood, and then planned to light the fire by rubbing the sticks with her hands...
Ren Xiaosu shook his head secretly. It seems that the person with the thin skin and tender flesh has not done much work. If a normal person wants to use his hands to drill wood to make fire, I am afraid that it will not work even if the palms of his hands are blistered.
Jiang Wu knelt on the ground and stubbornly continued to drill wood to make fire. A boy said: "Teacher, let me do it?"
Jiang Wu shook his head: "You are students. You don’t have to do this kind of hard work, go and rest.”
She glanced at Ren Xiaosu subconsciously, wanting to see how Ren Xiaosu made fire by drilling wood, so that she could learn from it.
As a result, she saw Ren Xiaosu take out a box of matches...
How could this person be prepared for everything? Jiang Wu pursed his lips. It was obvious that everyone had escaped. But she always felt that Ren Xiaosu's team was much easier than the others!
When the first bonfire on Ren Xiaosu's side was lit, the night in the entire camp seemed to have a touch of warmth, and the originally cold moonlight seemed to have a touch of warmth.
Of course, Ren Xiaosu and the others were not the only ones setting up bonfires in the entire camp. In fact, there were some smokers who also brought matches. However, several women went to those smokers to borrow fires, but they were all kicked out He made a very unreasonable request. How long had he just escaped? Who would betray himself because of a ball of fire?
After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Wu suddenly walked towards Ren Xiaosu. Sister Xiaoyu and others were chatting, but when they saw Jiang Wu approaching, they all stopped and looked at her.
"Can you..." Jiang Wu said carefully: "Can you let me borrow some firewood? I can exchange some of our dry firewood for you."
"Yes. ," Sister Xiaoyu said with a smile, "No need to give us firewood, we have enough."
"Thank you," Jiang Wu said with a little excitement, "Thank you very much!"
She ran back to her place and brought some dry firewood over, lighting it with Ren Xiaosu's campfire. The students next to her looked at it expectantly, like a group of nestling birds waiting to be fed.
