Chapter 65: The Secret of the Case

Gu Zhang nodded, "It's much closer there, but I heard there's a flood there. Alas, it's not easy to survive with droughts and floods."

The old man waved his hand, "Don't be afraid of floods. The floods will come in summer. If it's winter now, the floods will have receded long ago."

He pondered and muttered, "It seems that I can't go to Xishan County, I have to go to Hanzhong County."

Gu Fei couldn't help thinking, there are not too detailed records in the history textbooks, and it is unknown how serious the floods in the south are. If Hanzhong County really flooded, there must be many victims.

Often when a dynasty is about to perish, perhaps it is the end of its luck, accompanied by natural disasters.

However, Gu Fei did not persuade the old man not to go to Hanzhong County. Each person in his family carried a bag, and it seemed that there was no food left. It was impossible to walk to Donghai County.

Hanzhong County borders Xiqin County, not too far away, and there might be a way to survive if he went there.

Just as she was thinking, Gu Fei saw a large cluster of wilted purslane growing in the wild not far from the official road, and she was delighted.

Although there was enough food at home, and they also brought some dried and pickled vegetables, who would let go of fresh and edible wild vegetables?

If you don’t eat vegetables for a few days, you can’t even poop.

She ran over, and before she got close, she saw a boy who was faster than her. He ran up to her in a few steps and quickly pulled out the purslane and threw it into the backpack.

Gu Fei stopped, looked for a while, turned around and walked away silently.

This boy and the old man are from the same family. They may rely on these wild vegetables to survive, and they will always have food to eat.

Uncle Ma watched from a distance. There were still a lot of purslane. Gu Fei clearly wanted to pull it, but she turned around halfway and didn’t fight with the boy.

This girl is still kind-hearted.

Such a kind little girl, is she really a spy?

Uncle Ma didn't think so.

After walking for almost an hour, Uncle Ma asked everyone to take a break.

Gu Fei took a sip of water from her water bag tied with a red line. Seeing Hu Zi looking listless, she hurried over and said, "Aunt, you and Hu Zi get on the car and take a rest."

Li hesitated and said, "This, this is not good. I just rested for a short time. There are so many people in your family. Everyone should take turns to rest."

"Besides, your injury is not fully healed. You can rest by yourself. I can still walk."

Gu Fei helped her to her mule cart without saying anything, and lifted the curtain to let Li get on the car.

When Hu Zi got on the car, Gu Fei secretly stuffed a piece of beef jerky produced in the space into his hand, and whispered, "Eat it quietly by yourself, don't tell Baoer."

Hu Zi grabbed the beef jerky tightly and nodded nervously.

Xiao Cao got off the car, and Gu Fei stuffed a candy into her mouth, and secretly handed another piece to Li Chunhua.

Then he asked Lanzhi to open her mouth and gave her one.

Gu Fei thought she was doing it secretly, but she couldn't hide it from Uncle Ma who was staring at her.

Uncle Ma narrowed his eyes. This girl was so mysterious about giving people candy. Alas, a little girl is a little girl, and a candy is worth this.

Just thinking about it, Baoer ran over, looked at Gu Fei and stretched out her hand, "I'm walking today, you give me candy."

Gu Fei hated this boy more and more. He even snatched her smoked rabbit meat yesterday. She said fiercely: "No more, that candy is very expensive, there is only one left and I gave it to you yesterday."

Lanzhi next to her quickly shut her mouth, and Xiaocao was even more exaggerated, stretching out her little hand to cover her mouth tightly.

Alas, poor Xiaocao, don't you know there is a saying called "there is no silver here, but it is three hundred taels."
