    The next day, Jiang Dashan and Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie and Wu went out again with four horses.

    "I don't believe it if we choose another way this time. Are all the places we can go looking like that?" Mr. Xie said.

    If things are like that, it can only mean that the world is about to change, and difficult days are still to come.  But staying in a closed place like Luwei Village and not getting any news made him feel deaf and blind, which was very bad.  So no matter what, he had to try more and learn the real situation outside as soon as possible.

    "That's right. There is always a place where people can still live a normal life. Otherwise, there would have been chaos long ago." Jiang Dashan also said.  He was also very anxious. The blockage caused by heavy snow in the winter brought temporary safety to Luwei Village.  But so what if it¡¯s safe?  Right now, we can't even guarantee the life of our family, even if we don't go out.

    The three of them hurriedly arrived at the hillside.  Although it has only been more than a month, the scenery here has completely changed. It has lost the coverage of ice and snow, and a rugged trail appears in front of everyone. The trail is not wide. One side is close to the hillside, and the other side is close to a large river with gurgling water.  It's flowing, and I don't know where it's going.

    "Oh, after a long time of work, we actually walked on the ice last time." Xie Wu said in surprise.

    "Fortunately, the ice is thick, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to get out at all." Mr. Xie said happily as he walked.

    Horse hooves would step on the water from time to time, and the path was not only not wide, but also had sections of it submerged by the river from time to time.  If the river had risen any higher, the road would have disappeared entirely.

    The three of them quickly arrived at the last three-way intersection.

    "Which path should you choose this time?" Xie Wu asked.

    Last time I chose the middle road, they even burned the bridge. I definitely can¡¯t go there again.

    In the end, the three of them chose the road on the left, which was the road with hills and hills in the distance.  The other road extended into the mountains. They were afraid that this road might reach the mountains and there would be no market at all.  It's spring, and on the side of the country road that has been silent all winter, and possibly even longer, Asakusa is gradually enchanted by horses' hooves, and there are no traces left by the recent passing of people and horses along the way.

    "This road is really desolate. I don't know where it will lead?" Mr. Xie said worriedly.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, I just hope we can reach the town quickly, even if it¡¯s a small market. If we can¡¯t buy food, we will be hungry.¡±

    Jiang Dashan said, took out the water hyacinth and drank a few sips of cold water.  This time when they went out, they only brought some wild leek pancakes as dry food.  To be precise, each of the three people only brought five pancakes.  If they don't find food quickly, they will have to find wild vegetables everywhere to satisfy their hunger.

    "Isn't it time for the wild rabbits to come out at this time?" Xie Wu asked hopefully.

    "I wonder if there are many wild animals in this place? If we can get some wild animals, we won't be afraid of starvation." Jiang Dashan touched the bow and arrow he brought and stared at the undulating hillside in the distance.  The trees on the mountain are turning green, and there are gradually more birds along the way.  Logically speaking, there must be wild animals in the wilderness.

    As the three of them were talking, two wild boars rushed down from the hilltop not far ahead.

    "Oh, it's really here." Jiang Dashan took out his bow and arrow in surprise.

    Of course the three people will not let them go.  This time when they went out, they had already agreed to pretend to be hunters.  So Jiang Dashan also brought a bow and a few arrows. The three of them were all very skilled in martial arts. How could two half-sized wild boars be their opponents.

    "Be careful, don't kill them. If we capture them alive, maybe we can exchange them for some food?" Mr. Xie reminded him quickly.

    The two wild boars, which must have been half lost, were quickly shot in the buttocks by Jiang Dashan. They let out an earth-shattering howl, causing the birds on the hilltop to fly around in random directions.

    The three men drove their horses over and indeed captured the two injured wild boars alive. The fur of the two boars was black and shiny, and they were kept smooth. It was obvious that they were living a good life.  I don¡¯t know where they find food?

    "Looking for a village, I'm afraid I can exchange them for some food." Mr. Xie said happily.

    The three people worked hard and quickly tied up the injured wild boar, threw it into the basket, loaded it up, and continued to move forward.

    "Even if we can't exchange it, it's not bad for us to eat it ourselves." Jiang Dashan said.  He specially brought a bow and arrow with him when he went out this time, just to bring back some wild animals to provide some meat for everyone.

    The family is not only short of food, but also of meat.  I can just add a few slices of bacon to my usual meals to give everyone a little extra juice.  If these twoThe city has only one street and a few shops. The streets are not busy at all, but they are very quiet and peaceful. The life in the city is only orderly and has not been affected by the famine refugees from other places. It can be seen that the management of this place is  Local officials are still very capable.

    They were carrying two wild boars and leading a horse. They were really conspicuous in the street with very few pedestrians.  It was their luck. Not long after they left, a middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge of a wealthy family came over in a hurry and bought the slightly larger wild boar from them.

    "Our master's birthday is tomorrow, and we were just looking for some fresh game." The man happily threw two taels of silver to them. He didn't even ask them to deliver the goods to their door. He directly asked the butcher to come over. The butcher was very strong.  Yes, he actually hugged the tightly tied wild boar and left.

    The remaining end was bought by the only restaurant without much effort, and they received a total of more than three taels of silver.

    "It's not bad." Jiang Dashan weighed the silver in his hand and said with a smile.

    "That's right. Fortunately, we got two wild boars." Mr. Xie also laughed.

    Then, they went straight to the grain and oil store to buy grain.  In the first shop, the two of them were still picking and picking, not looking at the rough and low-grade food at all.  But the quality of the food here is not very good, but the price is not expensive.  The two of them first bought two full bags of medium-sized rice and medium-sized noodles, each bag weighing fifty kilograms, and then bought thirty kilograms of white flour and polished rice.  A total of two hundred and sixty kilograms of grain.

    In fact, it only cost more than three taels of silver, which was just enough for the two of them to spend all their money from selling wild boars.

    However, some people also saw the money they just got.  Therefore, the shopkeeper didn't pay attention to their tricks and kept trying to get close to them, hoping to come back next time.  This can be considered a big patron.

    Ordinary people usually use copper coins to buy grain, which is only ten or eight pounds at a time. They spend dozens or hundreds of dollars. Some people even only buy one or two pounds at a time.

    "We are hunters in the mountains, and this is our first time here. The cat only goes out once in the winter. The family has more people to eat, so we bought more." Jiang Dashan explained.

    "Oh." The shopkeeper said half-heartedly.  But the business that came in was a rare big customer, so he didn't say much, packed their things skillfully, and settled the bill with a small change.

    The two of them left the grain store and went to a grocery store. The most important things they had to buy were salt and oil. Sugar, preserved fruits, etc. were all available.  Oil was very expensive, and the two of them didn't bring jars to hold the oil, so they simply asked the store owner to bring them three jars of oil, each jar holding five kilograms.  This is truly a big deal.  This grocery store and the rice and grain store were not far away, so the boss naturally saw them buying grain, and he was carrying a lot of grain on his horse.

    When the boss saw them buying so much oil, he showed a surprised and somewhat skeptical expression on his face, but he didn't say much. But when they asked for salt, the boss was only willing to sell them ten pounds and told them:  "We have regulations here. One person can only buy so much at one time."

    Jiang Dashan and Mr. Xie also knew that salt was run by the government, and ordinary families could only eat one or two kilograms a month.  Therefore, they did not take the boss's words to heart.  The two people continued to wander around the street, preparing to buy more from other shops.

    When passing by a clothing store, Jiang Dashan went in and bought a few pairs of shoes and a jacket.  After buying clothes and shoes for himself, Jiang Dashan thought of the children at home again, and finally bought a piece of bamboo-green cotton and several feet of small floral cotton from the cloth shop next door.  Take it back and make clothes and shoes for the children.

    Then, the two bought two more packages of rice and two packages of noodles from the rice and grain shop at the end of the street.  They originally wanted to buy more, but the boss here was obviously more talkative than the previous two bosses, and he kept talking about things, as if he was trying to trick them, which aroused Jiang Dashan and Mr. Xie's anger.  vigilance.  The two hurriedly picked up the rice, paid the bill, and left.

    Not to mention the boss, even some pedestrians on the street couldn't help but look at them a few more times.  This time Jiang Dashan and Mr. Xie both understood that it was not appropriate for them to spend so much money on food and oil.  The two of them originally wanted to eat something, but they had to buy two packs of snacks in a snack shop and left the city.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
