Chapter 71 Worries

Gu Zhong saw that his elder sister and younger brother were all following the second child. What could he do? It was always better for the brothers to be together than to go home alone. He was the only strong laborer in his family, so he couldn't rely on his brothers and sisters.

  Gu Zhong nodded, "My family also follows the second brother."

  Boss Zhang also quickly expressed his position, "I also listen to the second brother Gu. I will do whatever the second brother Gu says."

  The village chief sighed, he actually wanted to go back. He had heard from older people how terrible the refugees were when they fled sixty years ago. They were so hungry that they would grab anything they could eat.

  People are so hungry that they dare to eat.

  It's always safer at home than in the wild.

  He was silent for a long time, "Then let me make up my mind, Mr. Zhang."

  Seeing everyone looking at him, Gu Zhang suddenly felt a heavy burden on his body, so he had to say: "My intention is to keep moving forward."

  "If it's just a drought this year, That's okay, it will get over after a while, but there will be a severe drought next year and the year after that. There will definitely be no survivors in the family. If you don't leave, you have to leave."

  Uncle Ma raised his ears. Will there be another drought next year?

  Gu Zhang said so confidently, how did he know? Watching the sky at night?

  "If we take a detour, it won't work. As each day passes, our life in Xiqin County will only become more and more difficult. Those who have food today may not have it tomorrow, and the number of refugees will only increase. "

  Everyone nodded. That's right. Taking a detour will waste time. By then, there will be even more refugees.

  "What I mean is that we should follow the previous route, but we have to think of a way."

  Gu Zhang looked at Uncle Ma, "Uncle Ma, you were a escort when you were young. You see, what if you meet a refugee?" , What should we do? Should we also hire some people from the escort agency?"

  Uncle Ma shook his head, "I can't say whether to hire people, but in this situation, it's useless to hire too many people. I'm afraid it's not a small amount of money."

  Gu Fei suddenly said: "Dad, I don't think so."

  "Let's go ahead and meet honest and reliable young adults on the way. Let's give them a good meal. , the condition is to protect the convoy and go with the convoy."

  "If you are really hungry, if you have enough to eat, I think you will risk your life to protect it."

  "Besides, there are many of us. Let's all go together. We must be stronger than the refugees. Are we still afraid that we won't win?"

  Uncle Ma looked at Gu Fei, this girl is really extraordinary.

  Shouldn't a country girl be so frightened when she hears such a thing? Just like Xing'er, who is hiding behind her mother and looking panic-stricken, she looks like a country girl now.

  This girl Gu Fei actually dared to come up with an idea. Don't tell me, the idea she came up with was successful.

  Gu Zhang thought for a long time, "This is also a way."

  "But, I am worried that the people we picked up along the way may not be of the same mind as us. This loyalty and honesty cannot be seen by looking at their faces."

  "So, We need to hire not too many people. If there are too many, they might join forces and rob them of all the food."
