Qin Zheng's escape has become much more comfortable since he had Fang Lu as his buddy.
When setting up camp, some people would collect firewood and find hay and other materials to build a nest.
When they were hungry, they would help catch locusts and dig grass roots.
They could also climb tall trees that others could not climb to pick dried grass.
When the fruit was eaten, bandits blocked the road, and some people stepped forward to help chase them away.
Qin Zheng still had three pieces of steamed buns left in her arms.
Whenever she was very hungry, she would break off some of them and then divide them into two pieces.
She and Fang Lu would take one piece each.
Although she is stingy, she is definitely not the boss's wife who is demanding of the waiters.
Not long after walking, they came to the official road to Phoenix City, and then they discovered that a large number of deserters had also arrived here.
Qin Zheng also met the three brothers of the Guo family again.
When Guo Da saw him, he sighed regretfully, saying that all the grain he had finally collected was taken away by the bad guys.
"I don't know if they were robbed by those death row prisoners or robbers.
Anyway, they are not good people.
They are so damn bad," Guo Da scolded.
Qin Zheng thought of his half bag of sorghum noodles, that's all, he could only pretend that it was not fate.
The group of people returned to their previous poverty and started moving forward again.
Now there was no food, and everyone was on guard against each other again.
They ran ahead of others to scavenge wild vegetables in the fields, and once again fought desperately for a bite to eat.
On this day, Qin Zheng, who always gained something, had almost nothing with his hands, and his stomach was already empty.
Qin Zheng broke open the last piece of steamed bun and divided it into half for each person.
Qin Zheng lowered her head and ate in silence, but heard a slight movement in the grass next to her.
As she swallowed the last bite of the steamed bun, she looked up and saw a pair of eyes like stars appearing in front of her.
It was a little girl with disheveled hair, and a barely visible headband on her hair.
The cheeks were dirty, but the eyes were clear and clean, shining with deep desire, staring at Qin Zheng's empty hands.
Qin Zheng touched the sack and found that there was really nothing inside.
So she leaned back on the haystack and closed her eyes slightly.
Fang Lu only ate half of the steamed buns.
Seeing this, he stood up and walked over, bent down, and handed the remaining bit of hard steamed buns to the little girl.
When the little girl saw Fang Lu approaching, she was startled at first.
Then when the steamed bun was handed to her, she still didn't believe it and just looked at Fang Lu in surprise.
There was a trace of sadness and tenderness in Fang Lu's indifferent eyes.
He said dryly: "Take it."
Only then did the little girl believe that the person in front of her wanted to feed her.
She bit her lip, shook her head, and said weakly and childishly: "No, you are hungry too.
I can't eat from you."
She looked at Fang Luna.
With his sunken eyes and cold face, he knew that Fang Lu was also hungry, and the people around him were starving to the point of being hungry.
Fang Lu's tone was undeniable: "Take it."
The little girl blinked.
The man's voice in front of her was full of irresistible aura, which made her a little scared.
She almost involuntarily reached out her hand and took the small piece of steamed bun.
She put it to her mouth and ate it in small bites.
After Fang Lu handed the steamed bun to the little girl, he returned to the haystack and sat next to Qin Zheng, closing his eyes and relaxing.
It took the little girl a long time to finish such a small piece of steamed bun.

After eating, she licked her hands and lips, and then said to Fang Lu who had his eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping: "Brother, I My name is Yan'er.
Yan'er thanks you for your kindness."
After saying that, she knelt there and kowtowed three times to Fang Lu.
After the little girl left, Qin Zheng finally opened his eyes and said in a calm voice: "She won't live long."
Qin Zheng has seen too many such things.
Fang Lu didn't say anything.
After a long time, when Qin Zheng thought that Fang Lu wouldn't answer at all, he slowly said: "Maybe."
The next day, Qin Zheng stopped rushing.
She knew that the previous groups of people fleeing the famine had eaten everything they could eat.
If she didn't find something to satisfy her hunger, she would soon starve to death.
She took a rusty shovel she got from nowhere and led Fang Lu into the thorny field to catch locusts and dig up grass roots.
Fang Lu was already so hungry that his head was carrying three muscles, but he was still quite agile and managed to catch some locusts in a short time.
Qin Zheng was very satisfied with this.
She touched the bag and considered whether she could give Fang Lu some extra wages in the future.
This person really eats less than her and does more than her.
At this moment, Fang Lu suddenly pulled her aside, and the two of them fell together.
Qin Zheng didn't know what was going on, but Fang Lu lowered his voice and said: "Be careful, there is a snake."
Sure enough, a long snake with its tongue sticking out a message slithered quickly through the thorn bushes.
When Qin Zheng saw this, his heart moved and he hurriedly said: "Catch it" After receiving this order, Fang Lu flew out like a flying figure.
He could pinch the snake with two fingers.
For a moment, Qin Zheng looked intently and saw the skinny Fang Lu standing there, holding the snake in his hand. seven inches.
Qin Zheng walked over and looked at the snake from left to right.
Fang Lu looked at Qin Zheng and suddenly understood: "Do you want to eat it?"
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Why, can't you?"
In Dayan Kingdom, there has never been a tradition of eating snakes.
But, wasn’t there a tradition of eating root and locusts before?
Fang Lu nodded and said: "Good idea."
He paused and then said: "Actually, people in Xiye have the custom of eating snakes."
Qin Zheng was staring at the snake as if he were staring at a big meal.
He said with satisfaction: "Tonight we will eat fat snake stewed with locusts, served with a few wild vegetables."
It sounds like a really delicious dish.
In the evening, Qin Zheng and Fang Lu picked an inaccessible place and started cooking this rare and delicious meal.
It was too late to dry the locusts, so they had to remove their wings and pick out their internal organs.
After washing the wild vegetables, as for the snakes, they directly peeled off the skins, turned them over and cut them into several pieces and put them in the pot.
Qin Zheng took out a few more weeds he picked up from somewhere, which were also still in the pot.
When everything was done, Fang Lu had already lit a fire and made a stand out of tree trunks.
Qin Zheng put the pot on the stand, put water on it, and started cooking.
Qin Zheng was taking a nap to recuperate, while Fang Lu was adding firewood and hay to the fire.
Just when Fang Lu thought Qin Zheng was asleep, Qin Zheng suddenly said, "You are good at lighting fires."
Fang Lu said quietly: "Before going out, sometimes it was unavoidable."
But this kind of thing was usually done by others and it was not his turn.
Qin Zheng didn't say anything after hearing this, and he didn't ask any more questions.
Although she knew that ordinary men in Dayan did not need to light fires, and most ordinary people in Dayan Kingdom would not know the customs of Xiye.
At this time, the surroundings were quiet, with the occasional chirping of unknown insects and the whistling of the mountain wind in the distance.
Along with the crackling of the fire, Qin Zheng closed his eyes and fell asleep, while Fang Lu lowered his head and silently added firewood. .

After a few cups of tea, Fang Lu began to smell a strong aroma.
It was indeed a delicious meal.
Qin Zheng and Fang Lu didn't have bowls and chopsticks, so Fang Lu said: "You eat first."
Qin Zheng nodded, picked up the casserole, pulled out a few pieces of snake meat with a branch, and drank the snake soup.
When only half of the soup was left, he handed it to Fang Lu: "You can finish it."
Fang Lu took it over, pulled out a few pieces of snake meat with branches, and drank the soup again.
In the end, there were some locusts and pieces of snake meat left at the bottom of the casserole.
Qin Zheng said quietly: "You should eat everything."
Fang Lu refused: "I'm full."
This was obviously a lie, but Qin Zheng did not expose him.
Instead, he carefully wrapped it in the casserole and put it back in the sack.
At this moment, they heard a commotion not far away, with many people shouting and fighting for it.
Qin Zheng had something in his stomach and regained some strength.
He stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
It wasn't until I got closer and asked about it that I realized that a pastry seller was here.
Fang Lu and Qin Zheng looked at each other.
In this day and age, is the pastry seller dying?
Just when Qin Zheng was thinking this, she inadvertently looked up and saw a flag next to the pastry seller.
It was a white, slightly dirty flag with a phoenix painted on it.
Centennial Phoenix Flag.
Qin Zheng understood immediately.
Perhaps, in this day and age, only people from the century-old Phoenix City dare to openly set up stalls and sell cakes, and only they have such leisure and money-obsessed minds.
At that moment, Qin Zheng said: "Let's go buy some too."
Fang Lu frowned: "Don't you have no money?"
Qin Zheng fumbled around in the sack and took out a few copper coins: "Are there more?
I have a few copper coins."
Qin Zheng and Fang Lu finally walked to the stall and realized that they were selling grain-free cakes.
Grain-free cake, as the name suggests, is a cake made without using grain.
As for what to use, you don’t have to worry about it.
It can be swallowed and is not poisonous to death.
The key is to sell them cheaply, one copper plate per piece.
Qin Zheng generously bought five grain-free cakes and used up all the money he had.
After buying grain-free cakes, Qin Zheng seemed to have no intention of leaving the crowd immediately.
She sat with many people who had fled, silently listening to them talking about the Great Yan Kingdom and the Centennial Phoenix Flag.
Inadvertently, she would scan the crowd.
Fang Lu on the side realized this, his heart moved slightly, and he suddenly understood.
He looked around and saw that there were old people in ragged clothes who were about to die, there were also haggard and withered women, and there were many skinny men.
Occasionally there are a few children, all led by their parents, but there is no little girl Yan'er who is alone. tgtgd1806102:
