Chapter 354 The situation is not optimistic

Tie Zhu came to his senses and pushed the child to the ground. When the child saw that he had not grabbed it, he immediately got up and ran away.

Tiezhu was about to catch up when he was stopped by Zong Yu.

"Tie Zhu, stop chasing me."

"This child should be the remaining person in Liujia Village."

As soon as Zong Yu spoke, Tie Zhu immediately took back his steps and clutched the bundle tightly in his hands angrily.

"Brother Zong Yu, how come Liujiacun is like this now?"

They all know that the outside world is in chaos and it is very difficult for many villages to survive, but they don't know until they come out. It is really unexpected to see it.

Liujiacun has almost become a dead village. Even if there are still people who survive, they probably won't live long.

Those who stayed had no way of surviving normally.

Fang Jinxiu frowned, "It seems that the situation outside is much more serious than we imagined."

Nomura also starved to death many old people and children at first. After discovering the water source in the mountains, everyone regained their fighting spirit to live, and the situation improved a lot.

At least no one has died in the village again. Compared with the outside world, their village is really much happier.

Tie Zhu said thankfully, "Fortunately, our village is in the mountains, so it is relatively hidden and difficult for ordinary people to enter. Otherwise, these people would have rushed into our village to grab food."

The child had disappeared. Fang Jinxiu sighed. There was no shortage of poor people in any era. She was not a god and could not care so much.

It's better to put away her sympathy.

"Let's go, don't waste time."

After this incident, the three of them were on their way again. Originally, according to Zong Yu's plan, after they left the village, they would be able to catch an ox cart after passing through two or three villages at most.

He had noticed the situation on this road when he went to the county town before.

In just over a month, along the way, all the villages were no longer what they used to be, only devastated.Occasionally I meet a few people, and like that child who is very hungry, I will rush up and grab the baggage in their hands, thinking that there is food in it.

Those who were not tortured to the point of losing their minds by hunger stared at them eagerly until they were gone.

The reason why these people didn't dare to rush up easily was probably because of Zong Yu. They were so hungry that they were skin and bones, and Zong Yu was tall and strong, and looked like he was not easy to mess with.

His appearance alone scared away a large number of people who wanted to take advantage of them. When they passed through these villages safely, Tiezhu was already covered in a cold sweat.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, why are all the villages outside like this? Those people, why don't they run away and still stay here?"

After the drought, many people couldn't survive and chose to flee to places with water. Those who stayed behind naturally couldn't leave.

Or maybe he was abandoned by his family.

Hearing Fang Jinxiu's explanation, Tie Zhu's face turned pale. This boy was still young, and most people would not encounter natural disasters like this a few times in their lives. It was the first time he saw such a hellish scene, and he was inevitably a little shocked.

"Well, everyone has his own destiny. If you want to survive a natural disaster, you have to rely on your ability and fate."

"If God wants you to live, you can live. If God wants you to die, human life is sometimes as insignificant as an ant in this world."

Fang Jinxiu felt that in such a backward society, it is difficult for people to compete with everything that nature has to offer.

But there was one thing she did find strange.

It has been several months since she came here. No matter how backward this world is, it is still ruled and managed by people.

With the local disaster being so severe, why have local officials and the court not made any move to provide relief?

Is it possible that even the county seat has fallen?

Thinking of this, Fang Jinxiu's heart sank a little. If even the county town fell, her plan to buy mountains and supplies for winter would be greatly compromised.
