Chapter 598

The family walked south, tired and hungry. Fortunately, there was a small stream on the way. They drank some water, otherwise they would have died of thirst instead of starving to death.

From day to night, and from night to day, she finally experienced the revolutionary plots in the movie. It was cold and winter, hungry, and she had to walk every step with her feet. This kind of suffering can only be experienced by herself. to know how painful it is.

"Sister Bai, what is that?" Ru'er couldn't walk for a long time, and the adults took turns walking on their backs. This would be Xiaofeng on the back. She lay on Xiaofeng's back and pointed to the dry yellow grass in front of her. a hole in the question.

Bai Zhi glanced at it and said, "It's just a hole, what's wrong?"

Ru'er said, "I just saw something hiding in the hole, like a rabbit."

Bai Zhi immediately stopped and walked to the hole to look inside. She was happy: "This is not a rabbit hole, it is a field mouse. It seems that we have something to eat."

She looked around again, and sure enough, she found several other holes.

Hu Changlin and Zhao Lan were both experts in field work. They had seen voles a lot, so they naturally knew how to catch the voles. The four of them guarded a hole each, and then let Ru'er keep pouring water into one of the holes, and it didn't take a while. , there were voles running out of the other four holes, Hu Changlin saw the voles running out, one foot stepped on one, another ran out, then bent over to get started, caught another one, Xiaofeng grabbed One, Zhao Lan also grabbed two, but Bai Zhi didn't hold one. After all, she had never done it before, and she was not very skilled. The voles were very cunning, and they let them run away.

They threw the voles to death on the spot, found some dead leaves and twigs, lit a bonfire, and roasted them like this. The meat was tasteless. Now they just want to fill their stomachs, how can they care about the taste or not.

Although I didn't eat enough, it was still better than not eating at all.

After eating, they continued on the road. When they were hungry, they looked for voles to satisfy their hunger. When they were thirsty, they drank some water from the stream. They walked like this for three days and three nights. Finally, in the morning of the fourth day, they saw a straight official road, the end of the official road. , is a city gate.

"We can finally see people." Hu Changlin smiled.

But Bai Zhi said: "After a while outside the city gate, let's act according to the opportunity. If it is still Chu State, we are not afraid. If it is Xiye Kingdom, we must not reveal our identity, and say that we are from Jin State."

The three of them hurriedly responded, and the joy just now was swept away, replaced by apprehension.

Sure enough, there were people guarding the city gate, but very few people came in and out, and there was no questioning. It seemed that they could enter and exit at will, just like Qingyuan Town.

Look at the clothes of these people, they are no different from the people of Chu country, and then look at the big characters on the gate of the city, Qicheng.

On the left side of the two big characters of Qicheng, a Chu character is engraved,

This means that this is the state of Chu?

They quickly entered the city, strolled around the city, and finally confirmed the fact that this is the State of Chu, and it turned out that they were still within the territory of the State of Chu, which was great.

Looking at the roadside stalls selling steamed buns, steamed buns and biscuits, Ru'er kept swallowing and wanted to eat, but she didn't dare to say it.

Although she is young, she also knows that life is difficult now, and it is not what it used to be.

Seeing Ru'er like this, Bai Zhi felt uncomfortable in her heart, but when she came out, she didn't bring any money, not a single copper, so what did she use to buy food for Ru'er?

At this time, a few people who looked like beggars walked forward quickly, and one of them looked back at them. Perhaps their current appearance was no different from beggars. What are you doing? The porridge shed in front is open again, hurry up."
