Everyone was shocked!

When hearing about the civil unrest before, many people always held on to hope that it was just speculation or an exaggeration.

But Fushun County is clear about this and has laid the facts before people’s eyes, leaving those who are hoping for luck with nothing.

Su Yin looked at the large and small carts in the village, all loaded with belongings. These were simply pulled by manpower, which would slow down the process.

She found Yang Lizheng.

"Third grandparent."

"Su girl, what's the matter?"

Su Yin nodded. "The teams we met on the road were all moving very fast, and they rushed all the way. It can be seen that the mobs behind us will not be too slow. We are dragging our families with us, and many families are relying on manpower to pull all their belongings. At our current speed, the mobs will soon catch up with us."

Although they had left early, it was only a matter of time before they were caught up if they kept dragging their feet on the road.

Once they are caught up, how many people here can survive? How many people can keep the property they are protecting?

Yang Lizheng looked at the belongings loaded on the cart, and then looked at the young man who looked tired.

"Su girl, you are right to remind me. It's time to make a choice about some things."

Now that the decision had been made, Yang Lizheng was not the kind of person who would procrastinate, and he immediately gathered everyone together.

"Li Zheng, we are not in a hurry."

"Yeah, we have to leave quickly. What if we get caught up by the mob? That's it."

Yang Lizheng raised his hand, and the discussion gradually became quieter.

"You all saw that the situation is very urgent. The rich people were able to flee, but we, the common people, have to rely on our legs to escape. We walk slowly, and cannot compare to the carriages of the rich people, not to mention that everyone relies on people to drag a cart of belongings. I can't tell you how tired and hard it is to walk these two days."

"The situation is critical now. The mobs behind us may catch up with us at any time. If we continue to walk so slowly, they will catch up with us sooner or later. By then, we may not be able to save our things or even our lives."

"Isn't that what I said?"

Yang Lizheng spoke slowly and calmly, explaining the matter clearly to everyone.

There was silence for two seconds, and then someone spoke up, "Li Zheng, are you asking us to throw away all our belongings?"

Yang Lizheng shook his head and nodded again, "I'm not asking you to throw away all your belongings, I'm asking you to throw away everything you don't need, and just take the important things with you."

Da Zhuang's wife said, "These things are all important. We can't throw any of them away."

These words touched the hearts of many people.

Before they were ready to flee, they threw away many things at home, and they were reluctant to do so. The things that could be pulled onto the cart were all the things that the whole family had saved. If they were asked to throw away things now, many people would be reluctant.

Farmers have been used to being frugal all their lives, and many things are saved by them bit by bit. Asking them to give them up is like cutting flesh and bleeding.

With Da Zhuangniang taking the lead, the others followed suit.

"Yes, these things are all needed."

"There's nothing to lose."

"At most, we can push it faster. It won't delay our journey."

The woman chattered away, and it was unclear whether she was trying to convince the head of the village or herself.

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, a roar suppressed all other sounds.

Butcher Yang said to the men of the women who were talking the most cheerfully, "If someone in your family can't handle things clearly, you have to handle things clearly yourself. You can't get there fast with so many things, not to mention that you all have families with you. You have to take care of the old and the young."

"To put it bluntly, if we are caught up, you will not be able to get the things you have left."

“Things are dead, but people are alive. If you lose something, you still have a chance to buy it again while you still have your life. But if you lose your life, you lose everything.”

"Which is more important? You should weigh it in your own mind."

It’s not that they don’t understand what is being said, but it’s not easy for them to make up their minds.

Da Zhuang's wife snorted coldly, "It's easy for you to say that. It doesn't cost money to buy a new one. Otherwise, you pay me to buy a new one, and I will throw it away right away."

"You..." Butcher Yang was extremely angry.

Yang Lizheng said to Da Zhuang's grandfather with a gloomy face, "Yang Laoliu, is your family now ruled by a woman?"

These words are indeed serious.

Grandpa Dazhuang hurried forward and scolded his wife, "Shut up!"

Then he smiled at the head of the village and said, "Brother, don't be surprised. Da Zhuang's wife is a woman with long hair and short knowledge. We all understand the reason. You are doing this for our own good. We must do as you say and throw away the unimportant things immediately."

Even if the others are reluctant, they still have to make a decision.

We have been traveling non-stop since we got up in the morning, so this is a good opportunity to repack our luggage and give the children and the elderly a rest.

In order to prevent anyone from procrastinating, Li Zheng Yang directly set a time. After that time, the team would set off and they would not wait for anyone who could not catch up.

If you don't want to be left behind by the team, you have to hurry up and make choices.

Su's mother also started to organize, "Yinyin, what can we throw away?"

The things on Su Yin's mule cart are all necessities, and there is still some empty space if the mule cart is squeezed together, so they can take turns to rest on the mule cart.

"Need not."

“We can’t fall behind.”

The families who lost weight were not those with livestock, but those who relied on human power to pull the weight.

Da Zhuang's mother felt very distressed when she saw the things thrown away by her husband.

“This can’t be thrown away.”

Da Zhuang's father put down his things and threw down Da Zhuang's tiger-head stool.

"This is what Da Zhuang wants, we can't lose it."

"Dad, these are my things and you can't throw them away." Da Zhuang pushed him away and protected his toys behind him.

Da Zhuang's father touched his son's little head with a doting look on his face, "Okay, Dad won't lose it."

He pulled out a rolling pin.

Da Zhuang's mother stepped forward and protected the thing, "This won't do. Da Zhuang likes to eat the noodles I roll, so he must use this rolling pin."

This was the dowry her mother prepared for her. Now that her parents are gone, there is little dowry left.

Keeping this rolling pin is also a way for me to keep a memory.

What you think in your heart is one thing, but what you say is another.

"Okay, I'll change it."

When Da Zhuang's wife saw what he had pulled out, she stepped forward again and said, "This won't do..."

Da Zhuang's father was a little annoyed, "This is not allowed, that is not allowed, what on earth can be thrown away?"

Da Zhuang Niang felt very aggrieved after being yelled at, but she didn't dare to argue. She caught a glimpse of the money-loser from the corner of her eye, and her eyes lit up, "Throw away all the dead girl's things."

Da Zhuang's father glanced at the thin girl, his eyes brightened slightly, and rummaged through the boxes to find her things.
