Chapter 3 The Road to Escape

"This..." Tie Niu waited for a long time, and mustered up the courage to ask carefully; "Is there anything else to ask brother? Tie Niu is still in a hurry to go today?"

Tienniu's dark face shook in front of his eyes for a long time, and Yang Bo then woke up. His years of hard work in the workplace made his nerves hard. He sighed in his heart to comfort himself: "It's already like this... It's useless to cry. Since he has come, he will be at ease!"

After understanding it, Yang Bo looked up at Tie Niu and smiled: "I don't know where Brother Tie Niu is going to go? My brother doesn't know the way, so why should I take me with me together?"

Tie Niu looked happy: "Okay? If my brother and Tie Niu walk along the way, they will take care of each other on the way."

Yang Bo nodded and praised in his heart, this iron giant is really a simple boy.

"Okay, I'll go and break branches as crutches, let's go now..."

In this way, Yang Bo and this new time and space staggered on the road together.

Many of the refugees passing by were already hungry. Seeing their appearance, Yang Bo couldn't help but shake his head. Maybe it's his turn soon...

"Brother Tieniu, where are we going now?" After walking for a long time, Yang Bo thought of asking this question

"This road to Gunzhou Prefecture..." Tieniu answered not very confidently

"So we are going to Shandong! Tieniu, aren't you going back?" Yang Bo stood up and looked forward. The mountains in the distance were covered with yellow flowers, bare.

"Go back? My mother said that going back is a death! There were a few fields at home, but the tycoons and miscellaneous taxes were endless, so I had to barely make a living on weekdays..." Tien Niu shook his head: "Even if I go back, those acres of land will now belong to someone else's home..."

"Brother Tieniu, then tell me about the situation along Henan Mansion?" Yang Bo finally squeezed out a smile, and his eyes were dark and followed the crowd, which was not his personality.

"...The rain has not fallen since the end of last year. This happened in previous years, but we never thought it would be a drought for eight months. At this time, it was already at the point where a dou of rice sold for four cents of silver." Tie Niu touched his head and told calmly, as if something had nothing to do with him.

"...There are often news of people starving to death, but everyone in our place said it will rain soon. Everyone was looking forward to the rain, but they didn't expect it to rain, but they looked forward to the locust plague. Now there are more people starving to death, all the whole village and the whole town starved to death. My father said, there is no hope for this day, everyone should escape..." Tie Niu's eyes turned red, and a few big tears fell down. I saw so many sad things along the way, but when it came to his relatives' foreheads, Tie Niu still couldn't help but burst into tears.

"... Our family of six followed the escaped people and walked towards this side for a few days... My father and mother-in-law were no longer able." Tieniu stopped and cried for a while and said, "After burying them, a few days later, the two sisters..."

"Three days ago, my mother also went...Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Speaking of this, Tie Niu stopped and squatted on the side of the road and started to cry. Tears as big as beans dripped from his honest face, and he cried like an aggrieved child.

"It's better to be a balance dog than to be a difficult person! Alas..." Yang Bo sighed softly and patted Tie Niu's thin shoulders.

Because of the long-term hunger, the iron cow only has a wide skeleton, which feels a bit cunning when patting it.

After walking less than a mile, Yang Bo was already exhausted and panting. This thin body could not last long under the heat. This made Yang Bo particularly miss the days when he was working in the company.

What's even more terrifying is that his stomach kept roaring. God knows how long has this body been hungry before taking over the body?

Seeing Yang Bo’s steps were sloppy, Tie Niu said kindly, “Brother, there is a tree in front of you, so why don’t we go there and rest before talking about it.”

The two sat in a cool place, and they were already very familiar with each other. Yang Bo asked directly without hesitation: "Brother Tieniu, what have you eaten along the way?"

Tie Niu looked at Yang Bo in surprise when he heard this, "Where is there any food? I have eaten all the dry food I brought. I also ate whatever I see along the way..."

Yang Bo looked speechlessly at the trunk that had not even left the leaves: "Brother Tie Niu, everyone has eaten up all the things along the way, so how can we reach Gunzhou Prefecture?"

Tieniu seemed to have never thought about this problem. He shook his head in a daze: "I don't know, I heard that it would be fine if I heard that I had arrived at Gunzhou Prefecture? But... Tieniu has lost nothing since the day before yesterday."

Yang Bo sighed softly. Tie Niu was not well-versed in the world and could understand, but he could not ignore these things. The most important task was to survive on this road to fleeing famine.

"Let's do this, brother Tieniu, let's not leave now, let's find some food to fill your stomach." Yang Bo looked at Tieniu's longing on his face and said with some helplessness: "I'm afraid I'll die when I move forward!"

Tieniu nodded heavily in agreement after touching his stomach.

Looking at the desolate situation around them, the two sat under the tree and were speechless. Yang Bo's proposal was like taking off his pants and farting. They had never seen anything they had eaten for the past half a day.

Along the way, hungry people swept across the prefectures and counties like locusts, and all they could eat were eaten. Even the bark was peeled off, and the nearby hills were all bare.

Tieniu said that he had seen several times when hungry people cannibalize people in broad daylight. These refugees were hungry for too long, all of whom were weak and weak, and they didn't know how long it would take to walk to Shandong. Maybe they just fell on the side of the road and couldn't get up.

"Oh, a grain of rice stumps the hero." Yang Bo leaned against the tree trunk. His fate seemed to be terrible, but Yang Bo knew what Murphy's law was, or something even more tragic waiting for him.

Even if Bale, who is at the top of the food chain in TV "Survival in the Wild", is here, I'm afraid there is nothing we can do about it?

"But brother? If we don't leave like this, it's not a way to always lie here?" Tieniu rested for a long time, and his stomach became hungry. In the end, he couldn't help complaining to Yang Bo.

"Brother Tie Niu, it's not that I don't want to leave. Instead of wasting my physical strength, it's better to save some energy and think of a solution." Yang Bo shook his head and just wanted to explain the meaning of the word physical strength to Tie Niu, but a small black shadow flashed past the corner of his eyes...

"What is that? Iron bull... Iron bull!!" Yang Bo stood up suddenly, pointed to a shriveled hungry man on the side of the road and shouted excitedly.
