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.
In an hour, everyone walked more than ten miles and stopped on a high slope 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, what will we do next?"
"I don't want to leave. I'm so old. Do I have to die outside in the future?"
"Damn barbarians, we should have killed them all back then!"
"What will happen next? Go. How can we live without land in the south?"
The sound of crying was loud, and men, women, old and young were all 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 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. In 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 supported his old wife and knelt down in the direction of Qingshui Village. "Everyone, please kowtow. , we old bones, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to come back in the future. But let the children remember that this is our hometown, and they can always come back and visit in the future!"
Everyone knelt down, crying and kowtowing. .
And 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 will have the fate of wandering in the wind...
After crying, everyone felt better.
Someone pointed at a few figures in the distance and shouted, "Are those the Liu family?"
Everyone looked bad, "How shameless, are you chasing me now?"
The village chief also frowned, "All of them 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 must not let their family get involved!"
" Yes, village chief."
Everyone agreed and continued on their way.
Unavoidably, some useless things were thrown out of the basket and piled haphazardly on the roadside.
Jiayin was so excited that he must follow his 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 slowly, almost dead from exhaustion, and saw that they were about to catch up with the villagers.
Unexpectedly, the villagers started to rush on their way again, which made the whole family curse.
Guo's hair was disheveled and she was jumping around like a madman.
"We 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 all freeze to death and starve to death!"
Su Niang and Chun Hong couldn't find the energy 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 couldn't find a way, , within two days, they had nothing to eat.
When the time comes, they will definitely be the ones to meet the father-in-law first!
"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 blind in the first place and found a family like you!"
Hearing that his wife's words were wrong, Laifu looked up. The hand was just a slap, 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 authority. You beat me to death, you 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 still annoyed and scolded loudly.
"What are you making a fuss about? Isn't it because there is 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 pouted, hugged her son and complained, "What you said is easy, where can I go to find someone else? It's in my bag!"
She said casually, but Liu Laifu's eyes lit up and he 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, "It's just like other families, but the Li family has collected 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" It's too cruel, we can't grab it."
"Then find someone!" Liu Tiezhu said with a sinister face, "I don't believe that our family is the only one who is short of food. Food is life these days, who doesn't want it!"
Everyone in the Liu family said Nodding, they 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 to cook some porridge for the whole family.
The half-grown children are ignorant of the sufferings of the world and 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 had no work, I would stay by my sister's side. I was worried that my sister would be scared, so I kept teasing her.
Jiayin sat on a piece of linoleum, covered with a fine gauze cover, which was mosquito-proof and breathable.
Because they knew the news earlier than other families, the Li family was the most thoroughly prepared.
Especially for Jiayin, the baby, the food and clothing on the road were clearly arranged.
Doctor 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.
As a result, after so many days, he became a little discouraged.
Fortunately, the Li family was kind-hearted and took good care of him, so it would be a good idea to go south together.
The night in early August was not too cold, but the evening wind was also very cold.
That 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 shocked.
The official road not far ahead was already overcrowded compared to the sparse crowds yesterday.
Those driving carriages, donkey carts, carrying burdens, dragging their wives, children and old ladies, all looked tired and miserable.
Needless to say, the news of moving the capital thoroughly spread.
Anyone who wants to survive must go south.
The people in the village were immediately anxious. They didn't even eat breakfast, so they simply packed up and hurried on the road.
The villagers were still walking together, with the Li family's mule cart following in front, and the village chief's small 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 when they were rushed by the other strangers who were fleeing.
