113. Psychological balance (seventh more)
A team of thousands of people walked forward, and most of them were hungry, especially in this early winter, when people who had no meals felt particularly cold.
The wild vegetables are a little wilted by this season, and even the tenacious shepherd's purse, which is full of vitality, is withering.
The fleeing crowd was plundering what could be eaten by the roadside, plants, bark, and roots as they walked...
At the beginning, people with barriers still had their own reserve, but they were so hungry that they were no longer ashamed or dignified as they were.
On the contrary, Ren Xiaosu and the others did not have any psychological pressure at all, and they only ate these things on weekdays.
Eating wild vegetables raw is bitter, and after eating it, it makes your mouth astringent. Some people vomit after eating it, and they can't stand this kind of food at all.
However, some people are even more unlucky. They foam and lie down on the road after eating.
No one cares about these people who fell on the road. Everyone just passed by them indifferently and continued to move forward, like a group of walking corpses.
Only Ren Xiaosu would stop when he passed by. He looked at the man and said to Yan Liuyuan: "This is the symptom of eating Baitou, which is what we often call wild celery or poisonous ginseng. The leaves of this thing look very similar to celery. Once you accidentally eat them, you will feel nausea, vomiting, chills in your hands and feet, and paralysis of your limbs. In severe cases, it can cause death."
Jiang Wu, who followed silently, wrote down this sentence and then warned the students not to pick plants with leaves that look like celery leaves. As a result, the students were confused: What do celery leaves look like?
These students live in barriers on weekdays, so naturally there are parents who help them prepare their food, clothing, housing and transportation. Who cares about what celery leaves look like?
After these thousands of refugees passed by, the road they walked was as broken as if they were crossing by locusts. At this time, Ren Xiaosu suddenly saw an off-road vehicle in front of him. Isn’t that the vehicle Luo Lan was riding? Why did he park here alone?
When everyone walked over and saw that the beam of the off-road vehicle was broken, so it could not be repaired at all.
The dirt roads in the wilderness are bumpy. Although the off-road vehicles are powerful, they cannot withstand such troubles.
I'm afraid Luo Lan didn't expect that he would encounter such a mess and ended up having to abandon the car.
A group of refugees opened the car door frantically to find out if there was anything to eat in the car, but what disappointed them was that the car was very clean and even the leather case of the seat was removed...
Not only that, some parts that are convenient to carry have also been removed. Ren Xiaosu guessed that the parts removed were used as spare parts to prevent any failures from happening to other vehicles. However, this car was completely abandoned.
Ren Xiaosuxin said that Luo Lan was trying his best to go to the 109 barrier? Logically speaking, Luo Lan may have reached the 109 barrier now.
Today, many refugees are discussing whether they can still enter the barrier. Some people say that 109 Why should they not let them enter the barrier? They are legal residents in the barrier!
Although the barriers are now severely divided, basically all the consortiums under actual control have the final say, but in name all barriers are on the united front.
Some people also say that they may not be able to get in. The 113 barrier they were in before was under the jurisdiction of the Qing family consortium, but the 109 barrier they were in the jurisdiction of the Li family consortium. People say that they would not let you get in, and you really have no temper.
Ren Xiaosu thought, for example, big figures like Luo Lan usually don’t have to consider whether they can enter the barrier. After all, Li wants to give Qing some face.
But others may really be in lingering.
They continued to walk forward, but not long after, Ren Xiaosu actually saw a troop truck parked alone on the road...
Is this another broken car? Everyone got closer and saw that it was a tire blowout!
Is there no spare tire or something? Ren Xiaosu is curious.
When the troops transport truck passed by Ren Xiaosu, he saw that it was full of soldiers, which was obviously much overloaded.
If the car continues to break a few more cars, Ren Xiaosu guessed that Luo Lan would probably find it difficult to reach the 109 barrier...
However, everyone was very happy to see these damaged vehicles. When Luo Lan and others drove by at lightning, the refugees were wondering why everyone was walking, but you could drive.
Now, everyone is more mentally balanced.
That night, everyone was resting beside the troop truck. At this time, it could not be called "camping". It was simply a large number of people slept on the ground in the wilderness.
The ground is very cold. Lying on the ground, you will feel the cool air from the underground permeating your body.
Many people want to raise a bonfire, but the problem is that they don’t bring anything to make fire!
After Ren Xiaosu settled Yan Liuyuan and the others, he went to pick up firewood. The weather was getting colder and colder, so the firewood must be enough to burn for a whole night, otherwise everyone would easily catch a cold and a fever when they woke up the next morning.
Although Wang Fugui has medicine, who wants to get sick while he is idle?
This season, dry firewood is easy to find. When Ren Xiaosu came back with a lot of dry firewood, he happened to see Jiang Wu lying on the ground to drill wood to make fire.
The female teacher organized the students to pick up a lot of firewood and then planned to rub the wooden sticks with her hands to light the fire...
Ren Xiaosu shook his head secretly. The female teacher looked like she had tender skin and hadn't done much work. Normal people wanted to drill wood to make fire with their hands, but they might not work if they grind the palm of their palms.
Jiang Wu knelt on the ground and continued to drill wood to make fire. A boy said, "Teacher, let me do it?"
Jiang Wu shook his head: "You are students, don't have to do such hard work, go and have a rest."
She subconsciously glanced at Ren Xiaosu, wanting to see how Ren Xiaosu made fire by drilling wood, so that she could learn more.
As a result, she saw Ren Xiaosu take out a box of matches...
How come this person has all preparations? Jiang Wu pursed his lips. Everyone escaped, but she always felt that Ren Xiaosu's team of people was much easier than others!
When the first bonfire on Ren Xiaosu's side rose, the night in the camp seemed to have a hint of warm color, and the originally cold moonlight seemed to have a hint of warmth.
Of course, Ren Xiaosu and the others raised the bonfire in the entire camp. In fact, some smokers also brought matches. However, a few women went to borrow fire from those smokers, but they were all very inappropriate. How long have they escaped? Who would betray themselves because of a fire?
Jiang Wu hesitated for a long time and suddenly walked towards Ren Xiaosu. Sister Xiaoyu and others were chatting, but when they saw Jiang Wu coming, they stopped to look at her.
"Can you..." Jiang Wu said in a careful tone: "Can you let me borrow the fire? I can exchange some of our dry firewood for you."
"Yes," said Sister Xiaoyu with a smile: "No need to give us dry firewood, we have enough."
"Thank you," Jiang Wu was a little excited: "Thank you so much!"
