The only qi trainer

"flee from famine!"

Old man Li spat out two words with difficulty from his parched lips.

"I can only flee from famine, there is no way to survive if I stay here!"

"Where are you going?"

The women couldn't bear it anymore and asked sadly.

"Go south!"

"Go south! Go to Xuzhou!"

"There is a severe drought in the north. If you go east, you will be dry all the way, and the mountains are so high that you can't persist in areas with rain."

"And if you go south, at least you can see green plants soon. After crossing the South Ridge, the road below will be easy!"

"And it's going to be winter soon, and it's freezing cold at that time, and it's impossible to stay in the north."

The goal was quickly set. The old man Li had experience in escaping from famine, he was familiar with the way, and he called everyone to manage.

Prepare food, clothing, pots and bowls, etc.

Li Yuanying also took the initiative to clean up. This is not a matter of a few people, but a matter of a large family. With the wisdom of adults, Li Yuanying knows that this escape from the famine is definitely not what the old man Li said, and the risk seems to be very easy.

So if you can prepare a little bit, you have a little more chance of survival.

This time, not only the members of the Li family were fleeing famine, but most of the whole village were ready to leave. After all, only a few people had bought food. Many days ago, people in the village had already left one after another to survive.

The people at the bottom of this world are very miserable, or the people at the bottom of any world are very miserable. They have to pay taxes every year, and they have to serve corvee and work for the public.

Although the Great Xia Kingdom abolished unpaid corvee and changed it to paid corvee, there were so many corrupt officials. The founding emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom had them when he was alive, and the absence of restrictions after his death made corrupt officials explode.

Corrupt officials can never be killed!

This is the famous saying of a giant who was beheaded back then. Anyone who heard this sentence would shudder.

The family packed up quickly, with big and small bags, and everyone was carrying the supplies they needed.

……

In the courtyard of the Gao family in the county seat

Gao Hanwen looked puzzled and dissatisfied, and asked the middle-aged man sitting on the chair:

"Father, there is still food at home, a lot of food, why don't you sell it?"

"If all these mud legs are gone, who will farm for our family!"

The middle-aged man is at the helm of the Gao family, called Gao Feng.

Gao Feng looked at his son who was a bit reserved and dissatisfied with himself, smiled, stood up and pulled Gao Hanwen to sit him down.

Then he slowly answered: "Although you know that our Gao family is a big family in the county and has some property, you don't actually know that in the past, it was the former dynasty, and at least half of the entire county town was our family. industry!"

Hearing what his father Gao Gao said, Gao Hanwen was shocked. Half of the property inside and out belonged to the Gao family, how could it be possible!

This is not only within the county seat, but also a large amount of land outside the city!Half of the industry, that's almost an astronomical figure.

No matter how rich the rich man is, he might buy half of the city!

Before Gao Hanwen could ask back, Gao Feng continued:

"Don't ask too much, just look at it, the glory of the Gao family! Is it finally going to be revived!"

"Hahaha!"

……

There were a lot of people fleeing the famine, and the Li family was mixed in the long team, and went south with many fleeing villagers to survive.

Li Yuanying looked at the crowds walking around, dragging their families one by one.

Among the crowd, all are pale and thin. There are not many elderly people. Those who have truly lost their ability to move will stay. On the one hand, it is difficult to leave their homeland, and they are afraid of dying in another country. On the other hand, they really can’t walk. as easy as in.

When leaving, the family will prepare ropes for him. Once he is at the end of his life, he only needs to put on the rope and he will be able to break it by himself, so as to avoid suffering.

All the way forward, on the road, Li Yuanying could see corpses thrown on the side of the road, emitting a rotten stench.

Li Yuanying knew that these were people who starved to death or were killed.

The road to escape from the famine is not safe. Some people specialize in robbery and rely on robbery to survive. Fortunately, there are people fleeing from the same village with the Li family to resist together.

Looting also depends on the situation. Nowadays, robbing food is like robbing people for their lives. Once they fight, they will kill people. Robbers are also victims of disasters who want to survive. Naturally, they don’t want to fight desperately.

After walking for a long time, I finally got a little away from the dry area, and there was some moisture in the dry air.

The road was very difficult, and he was reluctant to eat the dry food, but he finished it after all. Finally, when he was hungry, he pulled out some green leaves and bark to satisfy his hunger. Li Yuanying and his family finally walked to a city with difficulty.

Many people sat on the ground beside the city, and some even built simple wooden houses, which stretched endlessly, but the various stench in this camp made people almost suffocate, and flies and mosquitoes kept flying around, making it a mess.

There are two large characters written on the top of the wall. Li Yuanying can read and read softly:

"Xuzhou"

Looking at the tall city wall, majestic and majestic, a full ten feet high, people are like tiny ants in front of this city.

He turned his head and looked at his weather-beaten family members along the way. All of them were sallow and thin, blue-purple, trembling, and their hair was much whiter. It was obvious that they were too hungry, and the blue-purple complexion was because they ate too many leaves and were poisoned. up.

Leaves have never been something that humans can eat for a long time. They will be fine for a while, but if they are swallowed for a long time, they can only be poisoned and die.

It's just that compared with his family and other victims, Li Yuanying is a little weird. Along the way, Li Yuanying didn't eat much dry food, most of which were turf and tree roots, but he didn't seem to be hungry.

Although it is not as white and tender as before, but it is still plump, but because of the constant rush, the whole person is disheveled.

These phenomena did not attract the attention of others, and Li Yuanying did not say anything.

For his own reasons, Li Yuanying knows that ordinary people rely entirely on food for energy intake, but he is different. He is nourished by the mysterious energy between heaven and earth. Although he still needs food to satisfy his hunger, the demand is significantly reduced. Only a small amount of food can survive.

There is an introduction in Huainanzi:

Those who eat water are good at swimming and cold, those who eat soil are unintentional and wise, those who eat wood are strong and brush, those who eat grass are good at walking but are stupid, those who eat leaves are silky and moths, those who eat meat are brave and defend, and those who eat grains are wise and Yao, those who eat Qi will become gods and live long, those who do not eat will not die and become gods.

Li Yuanying speculated based on his innate ability, it should be the legendary ability to eat qi.

Eating qi is not a talent that everyone has. No matter in the previous life or in this life, Li Yuanying has never heard of someone who can survive without eating.

"Maybe one day, I can really live on breath and stop relying on external things!"

Thoughts kept running in Li Yuanying's mind. This escape made Li Yuanying understand that eating is really a big problem, so he imagined that he could no longer rely on food to survive.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanying's hands were not idle, he grabbed a handful of fresh green leaves and chewed them.

Leaf poisoning!

Although it does not exist, it has an influence, but on the one hand, Li Yuanying's physique is amazing, on the other hand, he actually doesn't eat many leaves, so his condition is really much better than others.

"It's finally here! There is hope for survival!"

"My old lady! Huh..."

……

Some people in the crowd wept loudly. These were tears of excitement. There were too many sacrifices along the way.

Some people can come here alive because their relatives gave up their rations and gave him the hope of life.

The hustle and bustle outside the city of Xuzhou continued, and people vented their fear and dissatisfaction.

Xuzhou is backed by the ocean, and there is a river connected to the ocean, only fifty miles away, which can transport grain.

Great Xia has frequent sea transportation, and most of the food is transported by sea.

So when we arrived in Xuzhou, everyone knew that we could survive, and there was food in Xuzhou!

Old man Li asked the others to wait in place, while he took Li Tiezhu to Xuzhou city to investigate the situation and buy supplies at the same time.

As soon as the old man Li arrived outside the city of Xuzhou, they saw a huge notice posted outside the city gate. The notice stated that people fleeing from famine were not allowed to enter the city. Once they found out, they would be whipped thirty times!Porridge and rice are distributed every day, twice a day, but it is not free and requires military service.

After reading the notice, old man Li regretted not being able to enter the city, but fortunately he could serve in the army in exchange for food, so he could survive at last.

As for sneaking into the city, being caught is not a joke. Thirty lashes can rip a person to pieces, almost declaring death.
