Chapter 90 Take the road of escape again
Qingshui Village received the news relatively early. The villages were still packing their things, but they had already set off.
But each family brought a lot of things, so it was a bit difficult to travel.
Hour, everyone walked more than ten miles and stopped on a high **** to rest.
The team was extremely silent. I don’t know who was the first one to cry.
The crying seemed to be contagious, and everyone's eyes turned red. They looked at the hurried companions around them and their homes that could only be vaguely seen in the distance.
“Woo woo, woo woo, what should we do next?”
“I don’t want to leave. At such an old age, do I have to die outside in the future?”
"Damn barbarians, we should have killed them all back then!"
"What will we do in the future? How will we live in the south without land?"
The crying was so loud that all men, women and children were crying.
The Li family members gathered together, looking a little numb and desperate.
They are people who have experienced fleeing from famine and are more experienced than the villagers.
But after finally settling down, he became a bereaved dog again. This kind of pain is something that the villagers cannot understand.
The village chief and his old wife sat together and also wiped away tears.
After all, he still remembered that he was the backbone of the whole village, so he managed to cheer up and give orders to everyone.
"Don't cry. At times like this, it's good to be able to save your life. As long as you have your life, you have nothing to fear."
He helped his old wife kneel down in the direction of Qingshui Village, "Everyone, let's kowtow. We old bones may not have a chance to come back in the future. But let the children remember that this is our hometown. They can always come back and visit!”
Everyone knelt down, crying and kowtowing.
The hometown that was destined to be lost became increasingly clear in the hazy eyes of tears.
People are humble when they leave their hometown, just like leaves leaving the branches. From now on, they are destined to wander in the wind...
After crying a lot, everyone felt better.
Someone pointed at a few figures in the distance and shouted, "Are those the Liu family members?"
Everyone had a bad look on their face, "You are so shameless, why are you chasing me now?"
The village chief also frowned, "Everyone pack your things and hurry up. It's their business to leave. After all, our family didn't build the road! We can't control it, but if they dare to get involved, I'll fight them! We can't let them go." The whole family sticks together!”
“Yes, village chief.”
Everyone agreed and continued on their way.
Unavoidably, some useless things were thrown out of the basket and piled randomly on the roadside.
The good news made me excited and I must follow my father to carry it.
Li Laosi was very strong and was not afraid of getting tired. He really tied his daughter behind with a bamboo pole and was busy taking care of the team.
Jiayin found an opportunity and put almost everything that everyone had thrown away into the space.
The Liu family was behind, hurrying and hurrying, almost dead from exhaustion, and saw that they were about to catch up with the villagers.
I don't want people in the village to start to rush again, and their family is scolding.
Mr. Guo’s hair was down and she was jumping around like a madman.
"They all live in the same village, why can't they take us with them! They are trying to kill our family! Liu Gen'er, open your eyes, look at your sister, look at the people in the village! A bunch of beasts, you Take them all to see the Lord of Hell and let them freeze to death and starve to death!”
Su Niang and Chun Hong had no energy left to cry. They didn't know if the people in the village would freeze to death and starve to death, but they knew that if they didn't find a way, within two days, they wouldn't have anything to eat.
They must be the ones who go to see my father-in-law first when the time comes!
"Stop scolding, if you have the strength, why not think about what to do! You can't starve to death, right?"
“That’s why I was so blind that I found a family like you!”
When Laifu heard that his wife was wrong, he raised his hand and slapped her in the face, which made Chunhong squeal, and she started acting up while lying on the ground. "Liu Laifu, if you can, beat me to death! I will suffer the consequences of following you, so I might as well just die! You gamble in the city every day, have you ever cared about the life and death of your family? If someone beats you, you won't even dare to let out a fart, so follow I'm good at showing off my power. If you beat me to death, you can beat me to death!"
Liu Laifu felt guilty and couldn't save his face, so he actually kicked Chunhong a few times.
After all, Liu Tiezhu was annoyed and scolded loudly.
“What’s the trouble? Isn’t it because there’s no food at home? If you don’t have it, go look for it. A living person can still be suffocated to death!”
Su Niang curled her lips, hugged her son and complained, "What you said is easy. Where can I find it? It's in someone else's bag!"
She said it casually, but Liu Laifu opened his eyes and turned to Liu Tiezhu.
“Brother, you mean...” He pursed his lips forward and pointed at the villagers who could only see a little shadow.
Liu Tiezhu nodded and sneered, "That's all for other families, but the Li family has harvested thirty acres of land. Just now, their mule cart was pulling bags of grain!"
Liu Laifu was afraid of being beaten, so he said, "Li Laosi is too cruel, even we can't rob him."
"Then find someone!" Liu Tiezhu said with a sinister face, "I don't believe that our family is the only one short of food. Food is life these days, who doesn't want it!"
The Liu family members all nodded and gathered together to discuss in a low voice...
No one in Qingshui Village knew that they had been targeted.
The fear of fleeing kept them going until dark, and then they chose a place to rest at the foot of a mountain.
The men from each family went to find dry firewood and lit a bonfire.
The women were busy setting up small iron pots and cooking some porridge for the whole family.
Children who don’t know the sufferings of the world are still running around and having fun.
The Li family’s Jiaxi Jiaan is very sensible and helps to collect firewood and fetch water.
When I have no work, I stay by my sister's side. I am worried that my sister will be scared, so I keep teasing her.
Jiayin sat on a piece of linoleum, covered with a fine gauze cover to prevent mosquitoes and provide breathability.
Because they knew the news earlier than other families, the Li family was the most well-prepared.
Especially for Jiayin, the baby, the food and clothing on the road are clearly arranged.
Shenyi Zhang walked around and sat next to Jiayin.
He stayed at the Li family because he was too lazy to go back to Kyoto and wanted to find out the secret of Mr. Ye's recovery.
After so many days, he became a little discouraged.
Fortunately, the Li family are kind-hearted and take good care of him, so it would be a good idea to go south together.
The night in early August is not too cold, but the evening wind is also very cold.
This night, everyone gathered together, guarding the bonfire, protecting the elderly and children, and it was already late at night when they finally managed to fall asleep.
When they opened their eyes in the morning, everyone was startled.
The Guan Road not far ahead was already overcrowded compared to the sparse crowds yesterday.
The cart driver, the donkey cart driver, the burden bearer, and the wife, children and old lady all looked tired and miserable.
Needless to say, the news of the capital relocation spread thoroughly.
As long as they want to survive, everyone must go south.
The villagers were immediately anxious and didn’t even eat breakfast. They simply packed up and hurried on the road.
The villagers were originally walking together, with the Li family's mule cart following behind, and the village chief's donkey cart behind them.
But along the way, some people were fast, some were slow, some were delayed for a while, and the queue in Qingshui Village became longer.
The team dispersed as soon as they were rushed by other strangers who were fleeing.
