After another day's journey, we met other refugees, but they didn't know each other, and they had many children, and they had to worry about being noticed by ill-intentioned people, so the family just walked away with their heads down. Try to distance yourself from them.

But no matter how we walked, we couldn’t see any trace of the Lujia Village people.

"Dad, could it be that we went the wrong way?"

Thinking that we were far away from those people, the family sat down to rest for a while and talked about Looking for people in the village.

"No, the village chief said before that we have to go all the way to the northeast. If we go all the way to the northeast, we can reach Anzhou. If I remember correctly, the Liu family is not far ahead. Town, maybe the village chief and the others are going there to rest. Let’s walk faster. Maybe we can catch up tonight.” Odds.

After hearing this, everyone said nothing more. They took out the rice balls that Yu and Qin had made in the morning, ate them, drank some water, and prepared to continue on their way.

Speaking of which, the rice was carried by the boss. I don’t know if it was an illusion. He found that after making rice dumplings in the morning, the rice on his body not only did not become lighter, but actually became heavier.

A few bamboo tubes of water were given to the second child to carry on his back. He also had the illusion that it was only a few bamboo tubes of water, but it was very durable. From last night to now, the bamboo tubes can still be heard. The sound of sloshing water.

They thought to themselves that the women at home must be too frugal and dare not use too much when cooking and drinking water, so they saved it for them.

When I think about it this way, my heart feels both appropriate and sour.

If He Jiuniang knew what they thought, she would probably roll her eyes. There are more than a dozen people in the family, and they have to drink water every hour. Even though each person only drinks a sip, it adds up to a lot. , if she hadn't secretly filled the bamboo tube with water, the bamboo tube would have been empty long ago.

Not to mention rice, she didn’t dare to add too much. Every time Yu would scoop out half a bowl, and she would add a smaller bowl, fearing that adding too much would arouse suspicion. .

Although everyone was working hard on their way, they still failed to reach Liujia Town as they wished when it got dark, because they met several people from Lujia Village on the way. No, exactly They said they were the corpses of clan members.

The eldest and second son came forward to check. Several of them were uncles of the same clan and members of their families. Of course, there were also other strangers.

The corpses were piled up in a hill, they were maliciously killed.

When Old Man Lu and his wife saw this scene, they immediately couldn’t stand. After all, they were relatives. They were living people a few days ago, but now...

"I guessThe plan is to encounter rogue bandits, these bandits who can kill thousands of people! "

The boss gritted his teeth and had tears in his eyes. The world is already difficult, and encountering gangsters will undoubtedly make it worse.

If it were in the past, the Lu family would definitely help these people The family members should deal with the funeral affairs and at least put the person to rest in peace, but now everyone can't protect themselves. Although the Lu family felt uncomfortable, they still left heartlessly.

The main reason was that He Jiuniang was afraid that they would be very evil. You should mind your own business and threaten them with words: "It seems like this happened not long ago. I'm afraid those people haven't gone far yet. If they confront us, I...I don't dare to think..."

She deliberately showed fear. Old man Lu and his two sons immediately gave up the idea of ​​burying someone. They looked at the group of women and children in their family and said cruelly: "The third daughter-in-law is right, let's... let's leave quickly." ! ”

Mr. Lu still wants to go to Liujia Town. Although he doesn’t know what the situation is there, it is still a small town. Now that he has money, he wants to buy some rice and noodles.< br />
Others had no objections. He Jiuniang said: "Dad, this is not far from Liujia Town. Those gangsters will definitely come there after committing crimes. It may be more chaotic over there. We still have some food. Yes, let’s take a detour. ”

He Jiuniang does not agree with going to such a small town with no guarantee. There are only two strong men in the family. If something happens to her, she will definitely be involved. When the time comes, she will be hard to say.< br />
Everyone looked at He Jiuniang in unison, feeling that she seemed much more powerful after having died once, and everyone felt from the bottom of their hearts that what she said made sense.

Although they didn’t know why, But it is always for the good of the family. Old man Lu and Mrs. Sun are not stubborn old men who don't listen to advice. After thinking about it carefully, they decided to listen to her.

Mr. Lu said: "Mom, dad, how about you?" Let me go there so I can inquire about the situation. I can buy some if you need it. ”

My parents are getting older, and he is the backbone of the family. Although I feel a little panicked, I still want to see the situation. It would be better if I can meet the clan members. If not, he It is convenient for one person to escape.

　“No! "

Before He Jiuniang could speak, Mrs. Sun refused: "Since you have decided not to go, no one should go. In these troubled times, no one in our family can be separated anymore! "

The bloody lesson is before our eyes. There are so many people from the same clan lying here, let alone Boss Lu going alone?

"Yes, our family can no longer be separated! Old man Lu nodded, "In that case, we will bypass Liujia Town and go directly to Qianzhou. We will make plans when we get to Qianzhou." ”

BeforeI made an appointment with my youngest daughter’s family to meet in Qianzhou, and then go to Anzhou together.

The youngest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Guilan, married a butcher. Her family's conditions were not bad, and they had a mule cart. They set off a few days earlier than them. If nothing happened, they would have arrived in Qianzhou long ago.

He Jiuniang exhaled and the family took a detour and continued on their way.

The sky has completely darkened. They found a place to rest early last night, but tonight they were still in the wilderness.

　"Ouch~"

Suddenly there was a howl of wolves from the mountains in the distance, and the adults couldn't help but pause, let alone the children.

"Mom..."

The dog was tied to He Jiu Niang's back with a cloth belt. After a day's journey, it was uncomfortable even to be carried on her back. What's more, the dog is not in good health.

Having just seen those bloody scenes, and now hearing the howling of wolves, the puppy nervously hugged He Jiuniang’s neck.

"Don't be afraid," He Jiuniang patted him with her backhand, "It's far away from us. Besides, we won't be afraid of it even if it comes. Mom will stew them to replenish your health!"

“Mom is so awesome!”

The puppy was no longer afraid and immediately smiled.

A group of other people looked at He Jiuniang with wide eyes, when did the third daughter-in-law become so aggressive?

However, it is not a good thing to be targeted by a wolf, so you should find a place to stay as soon as possible.

A group of people walked forward. There was a fire in front of them. The breeze blew, and the smell of meat could be wafted. They could faintly hear someone talking.

He is not a local, nor does he seem to be a good person.

He Jiuniang raised her hand to stop everyone from moving forward. Old Man Lu’s expression was not very good either: “This sounds like a southern Thai accent.”

Nantai?

The Lu family looked at Old Man Lu in shock.
