Chapter 113, Psychologically Balanced

The group of several thousand people walked forward, most of them were starving in front and back, especially in this early winter, those who didn’t eat would feel that the weather was extra cold.

The wild vegetables were all a bit wilted by this season, even the tenacious capers were wilting.

The fleeing crowd scavenged what they could eat along the roadside as they walked, plants, bark, roots ……

At first, the walled people still had their own reserve, but when they were starving to this point, all face and dignity were gone.

On the contrary, Ren Xiaosu, they have no psychological pressure at all, or else they ate these things on weekdays.

Raw wild vegetables are bitter, after eating the mouth are astringent, some people eat after the vomit, simply can not stand this kind of food.

However, some people are even more unlucky, don’t know what they ate, then foaming at the mouth lying on the road.

No one would care about these people who fell on the road, everyone just indifferently passed by them and then continued on their way, as if they were 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 the White-headed Worm, which is what we often call wild celery or poisonous ginseng. The leaves of this thing grow very much like celery, and once accidentally eaten it will cause nausea, vomiting, chills in the hands and feet, paralysis of the limbs, and in severe cases it can cause death.”

Jiang Wu, who was silently following behind him, then memorized this sentence, and then warned the students never to pick the kind of plant whose leaves looked like celery leaves, resulting in the students being bewildered: what do celery leaves look like?

These students lived in the barriers on weekdays and naturally had parents who helped them prepare their food, clothing, and shelter, so who cared what a celery leaf looked like?

After these thousands of refugees passed by, the road they traveled on was as if it had been destroyed by locusts, just then Ren Xiaosu suddenly saw an SUV in front of him, wasn’t that the vehicle that Luo Lan was traveling in? Why is it parked here alone?

Everyone went over to take a look, and suddenly found that the buggy’s beam was broken, so much so that it could not be repaired at all.

The dirt road in the wilderness was bumpy and uneven, although the buggy was powerful, it couldn’t stand being tossed around like this.

I’m afraid Luo Lan didn’t expect that he would come across such a broken thing, and in the end, he could only abandon the car.

A group of refugees frantically open the door of the car want to search for the car there is nothing to eat, but let them be disappointed that the car is particularly clean, and even the seat of the leather cover has been removed …….

Not only that, there are also some convenient to carry the parts have been removed, Ren Xiaosu estimates that the removed parts are taken as spare parts, in case the other vehicles have any faults, however, this car is considered to be a complete waste.

Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that Luo Lan was in a full hurry to get to the 109th barrier, right? It was reasonable to say that Luo Lan might have already arrived at the 109 Barrier by now.

Today, many refugees were discussing whether or not they could still enter the barriers, and some people said that why would 109 barriers not let them in? They were legal residents of the barriers!

Although the barriers were now deeply divided, and basically it was all up to the consortiums that actually controlled them, nominally all the barriers were a united front.

Some people said that they might not be able to get in, before they were in the 113 barriers belonged to the Qing Consortium, and now they were going to the 109 barriers but the Li Consortium, people said that they would not allow you to go in, you really do not have much of a temper.

Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, for example, Luo Lan, such a big shot of the consortium usually didn’t have to think about whether or not they could enter the barriers, after all, the Li Clan had to give the Qing Clan some face.

But the others, they might really be hanging by a thread.

They continued to walk forward, and as a result, it wasn’t long before Ren Xiaosu was surprised to see another troop transport truck parked alone on the road ……

Is this another broken one? Everyone approached to see that it turned out to be a flat tire!

Is there no spare tire or something, Ren Xiaosu wondered.

At that time, when the troop truck passed by Ren Xiaosu, he saw that it was full of soldiers, obviously overloaded by a lot.

This If the cars continue to break down a few more, Ren Xiaosu estimated that Luo Lan was afraid that it would be difficult to reach the 109 barriers ……

However, everyone was happy to see these damaged vehicles, before, when Luo Lan and the others drove by in a windy manner, the refugees were wondering why by what right everyone was walking, but you guys were able to drive.

Now it’s better, everyone is psychologically balanced a bit.

That night, everyone rested on the side of the truck, this time can not be called “camping”, purely a large number of people crowded in the wilderness on the ground to sleep.

The ground is very cold, lying on the ground will feel the cool air from the ground penetrating the body.

Many people wanted to build a campfire, but the problem was that they didn’t bring anything to make a fire!

After Ren Xiaosu settled Yan Liuyuan and the others down, he went to collect firewood, as the weather was getting colder and colder, there had to be enough firewood to burn for the whole night, or else everyone would easily catch a cold and have a fever the next morning.

Although Wang Fugui had medicine there, who would want to get sick if they had nothing to do?

This season, dry firewood is quite easy to find, when Ren Xiaosu came back with a big pile of dry firewood, he just saw Jiang Wu lying on the ground drilling wood for fire.

This female teacher organized the students together to pick up a lot of firewood back, and then intend to hard hand rubbing sticks to light a fire …….

Ren Xiaosu secretly shook his head, this female teacher seems to be tender skin not much work, normal people want to take the hand to drill wood for fire, I’m afraid that the palms of the hand blisters do not work.

Jiang Wu kneeling on the ground stubbornly continue to drill wood for fire, a boy said: “Teacher, let me do it?”

Jiang Wu shook her head, “You are students, you don’t need to do this kind of hard work, go and rest.”

She subconsciously glanced over at Ren Xiaosu’s side, wanting to see how Ren Xiaosu drilled wood for fire, so she could learn.

As a result, she then saw Ren Xiaosu take out a box of matches to ……

How does this person have everything prepared ah, Jiang Wu pursed her lips, obviously everyone is fleeing out of trouble, but she always felt that Ren Xiaosu’s team was much more relaxed than the others!

When the first campfire on Ren Xiaosu’s side rose, the night of the entire camp looked like it had a touch of warmth, and the originally cold moonlight also seemed to have a hint of temperature.

Of course, Ren Xiaosu is not the only one who raised a campfire, in fact, there are also some smokers with matches, but a few women went to find those smokers to borrow a fire, but they were all asked to make a very indecent request, this is just how long they have just escaped, who would betray themselves because of a fire?

Jiang Wu hesitated for a long time suddenly walked towards Ren Xiaosu’s side, Sister Xiaoyu and the others were originally chatting, then after seeing Jiang Wu walking they all stopped and looked at her.

“Can ……,” Jiang Wu said in a deliberate tone, “Can you let me borrow some fire, I can exchange some of our dry firewood for you guys.”

“Yes,” Sister Xiaoyu said with a smile, “No need to give us dry wood, we have enough.”

“Thank you,” Jiang Wu was a bit excited, “Really thank you so much!”

She ran back to her side and carried some dry firewood over, using Ren Xiaosu to light their bonfire, the students next to her looked on expectantly one by one, like a flock of wailing fledglings.
