The first thing Mrs. Li said was, "It's quiet now, let's talk about the accounts during the day! Some people, our Li family doesn't want to take them with us!"

Everyone's expression changed upon hearing this, and they held their breath.

Some people are surprised, some are guilty, and some are confused.

Someone was slow-witted and asked aloud, "What's the matter, Aunt Li? Didn't you agree to go together? It's only been two days since you left, why are you breaking up?"

Others nodded, obviously not understanding what was going on.

Mrs. Li waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said.

"Before, our family got the news and told everyone at that time. We didn't say that we would take back the food we lent you. We just thought that we could help everyone because of the friendship we have known for so long, right?

Then, our family could leave immediately, and because everyone begged, we waited for half a day, and we took everyone to set off together.The second brother and his brothers are busy, and they never refuse. "

Having said that, she took a deep breath, obviously very angry.

"Our family asked ourselves, we have nothing to do to everyone, and we also hope that we will take care of each other. But why does our family take care of everyone, and when it is everyone's turn to help our family, it is so chilling!

During the day, the fourth child was at the end of the line calling for everyone to gather together, fearing that others would disperse them.When the two bastards from the Liu family brought people to rob food, they took knives and tried to kill us, the old and the young, who were sitting in the mule cart.

As a result, the families who were walking by the mule cart turned around and ran away, refusing to help at all! "

She pointed to some people who bowed their heads with guilt, and called their names directly.

"Hu Laosan, Hu Laosi, and Zhang Shitou, what do you think? At that time, you all had sickles and hatchets in your hands. You just need to stretch out your hand to save us some time to dodge. Why do you just watch us suffer? Knife? Do you still have a conscience! Eat the food grown by our family, follow our family on the road, hide when you need help, do you want to be shameless?"

The three men who were named could not wait to find a crack in the ground.

They also knew in their hearts that something was wrong just now, but when they were scared at the time, they really didn't think so much.

The rest of the villagers finally figured out what was going on, and some people shouted in anger.

"Is what Aunt Li said true? Hu Lao San, Hu Lao Si, aren't you usually very good in the village? Why are you cowardly now?"

"That's right, ungrateful! They're all from the same village, and they should help each other out, let alone Aunt Li's family?"

Everyone shouted and cursed, with shame and contempt in their eyes.

Hu Lao Si was probably anxious about being scolded, so he made an excuse.

"We didn't do it on purpose. Those people rushed up with knives. Who is not afraid? No one's head is made of stone!"

Zhang Shitou thought for a while, and echoed in a low voice, "It's not that I don't want to help, but I'm really scared. Besides, Liu Tiezhu rushed to Li Mule's cart with all his heart, and we couldn't stop him!"

Everyone wanted to grit their teeth when they heard this, and the village head even waved a pipe and pot to hit people.

Li Lao Er hurriedly stopped him, and then said.

"It's human nature to be afraid of death, but when everyone is running for their lives together, people like you cannot be trusted by everyone. Even if you are protected behind you, you may expose our backs to the enemy because of fear. "

Li Laosi also nodded, "Our family has discussed that you don't have to pay back the food you borrowed earlier, but you must not follow us. There are people fleeing famine on the left and right roads, so you don't have to worry about finding them wherever you go. We will each go our own way in the future, whether we can survive depends on our luck."

Hu Laosan, Hu Laosi, and Zhang Shitou did not speak.

They don't want to leave the team. After all, they are mixed in the middle, someone leads the way, and everything is taken care of.

But everyone in the village relied on the Li family, and they offended the Li family, so they had no choice but to leave.

Mrs. Li said again, "Today our team is like a loose sand, and it will be dispersed as soon as it is washed away by others. It will not work in the future. Therefore, we discussed with the village chief that we will divide labor and cooperate on the road in the future. Everyone has Errands, eating and sleeping are all arranged together. Everyone is tied together, and no double-mindedness is allowed in life.

At this moment, everyone thinks about it, if they feel uncomfortable and don't want to be controlled, they can go with Hu Laosan and the others, so that they can take care of each other. "

After all, she didn't care anymore, and led her sons back to her home.

Just now Li Laosi and Li Laosan pulled the linoleum and built a simple hut with a short tree, and the door was blocked by a gauze curtain.

Jiaxi Jiaan, Jiayin, and Dr. Zhang are all resting inside.

At some point, Jiayin was bitten by a mosquito on the forehead, and Dr. Zhang was hugging her and applying ointment.

Jiayin was thinking about how many people were left in the village, so she reached out to her grandma to hug her.

Mrs. Li quickly hugged her and coaxed Jiayin to call her grandma, for fear that her granddaughter would be scared by what happened during the day.

She also called to Li Lao Si, "Get water and wash it well, don't get too close to Fu Niu, the child has a good nose, be careful and be afraid of smelling blood."

Li Laosi agreed, and went to find a place to take a bath.

When he came back, the villagers had already made a decision.

Apart from those three families, only Zhang Shitou's younger sister's family followed.

They also had a bit of a temper, and they didn't need anyone to chase them away. At that time, they carried the burden and the package, went to a distance to light a bonfire, and camped separately.

Seeing this, Li Lao Er called Li Lao Si, together with the village chief, and began to count the number of young and old in the village.

In the end, there were a total of 97 people in the village, including the Li family and Dr. Zhang.

Among them, there are 22 half-age children who can work, eight children who need to be taken care of, and [-] elderly people including Uncle Zhao and others.

Twenty women are left, and thirty-four are young and strong.

That is to say, in Qingshui Village's famine fleeing team, the elderly and children who need food and care are the most, and the young and strong who can work and hold a knife are few.

This situation really makes people want to sigh.

After discussing for an hour, Li Er Er began to announce the division of labor among the people.

Twelve and a half children, led by three elderly people with disabled arms, are responsible for collecting firewood and fetching water every time they camp.

The eight little dolls are put in mule carts and donkey carts on weekdays, under the care of Uncle Zhao and three lame old men, even when camping, they have to watch over them all the time.

In this way, women don't have to be distracted, they have to take care of everyone's morning and evening meals, and when they have the opportunity, they also dig wild vegetables to supplement food.

The rest of the old men and women are responsible for taking care of things, baskets and packages, as well as feeding mules and donkeys, and they also take turns to be on duty at night.

Of course, they are only assistants, mainly young and strong men.

During the day, they must guard the outside of the team, guarding the elderly, weak, women and children, and guard in shifts at night.

As for meals, each family handed over food to Dazao every day according to the head.

When the food is all eaten, we will discuss what to do.

In this way, everyone has something to do, no one can be lazy, and no one has to exhaust the Li family to death.

The villagers rushed to inquire, and after confirming their errands, not only did they not find it troublesome, but they felt very secure in their hearts.

If you have something to do, you prove that you are useful, and only useful people can live.

This is a truth that will not change no matter what time comes. ?
