"Unless there is another road nearby, we will definitely not be able to completely pass through so many refugees."

Shen Shuli sighed.

But she knew this was impossible.

Even if there are other ways to go, these refugees will not let them leave easily and will definitely chase them and keep an eye on them.

Everyone's eyes were expectantly focused on Gu Changfeng and his son Gu Canghong.

But the Gu father and son shook their heads silently, breaking everyone's expectations.

"Sorry, this is the only official road I know of nearby." Gu Changfeng said.

Su Yunhai glanced at the surrounding mountains and asked, "Why don't we take the mountain road and bypass this section of the road first?"

Shen Shuli disagreed a little and said, "Dad, why don't I go out and check to see how many refugees there are and whether there are still a large number of refugees blocking the way ahead."

Shen Shuli was worried that the entire road was filled with refugees fleeing famine, and they would have to take several months just to take a detour, which would be too costly!

...

...

Moreover, no matter how they took a detour, they would definitely not be as fast as these refugees on the mountain road, and they would eventually have to go down the mountain and find a way to enter Qinzhou City.

Who can guarantee that there will be fewer refugees on the last leg of the journey?

Su Yunhai thought about it and felt that this was not a solution.

I could only nod and agree to my daughter's suggestion.

"Okay, then you must be careful! Don't act rashly, and put yourself first in everything!" Su Yunhai looked solemn.

He couldn't stop his daughter, nor could he accompany her to investigate.

The supplies in the team are more important, so he must stay behind to hold the fort.

"Okay, Dad. You should pay more attention to the sky ahead. If it is safe, I will send out a blue flare. When you see it, hurry up."

"If you see a red flare, find a place to hide and wait for me to return and reunite with you."

Shen Shuli nodded seriously and agreed. After comforting Shen Yuehua for a few words, she quietly left the team.

Su Yunhai has already led the team to slowly retreat back to the deserted road.

The refugees on the road only saw the carriage at the front of the team coming out of the small road, and had not yet seen the large number of baggage carts and horses behind them.

Therefore, it has not caused any riots among the refugees.

Shen Shuli felt urgent and moved forward quickly along the hillside.

She was walking at a high place, and could see many refugees on the official road at the foot of the mountain, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The refugees walked slowly, and Shen Shuli ran for half an hour before finally running ahead of them.

There are also refugees at this intersection.

But the number is obviously much sparser.

Shen Shuli pretended to be a refugee and asked several women for information.

"Aunt, where did you flee from? Why are there so many refugees behind you?"

"Little girl, why are you alone? Where are your parents and family? This is too unsafe." said a skinny aunt.

Shen Shuli did not miss the calculating look in this woman's eyes after she saw her.

"Aunt, my parents are right behind us. I thought there were too many people behind us, so I walked faster. Aunt, do you know anything?"

The woman forced a smile, and her cracked lips bled instantly, but she didn't care at all and said, "We escaped from Qingzhou, and there are soldiers from Qingzhou chasing us and killing civilians at will."

"But the main force of those soldiers seemed to have gone in the direction of Yongzhou, and there were only more than a thousand people chasing us."

"Fortunately, we ran fast. I don't know if those damn guys have caught up with us."

"Girl, I see your mouth is dry. I have some water. Please drink it."

After saying that, the woman took out a dirty water bag from her arms and shook it deliberately to prove that there was a sound of liquid swinging inside.

Shen Shuli couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, and directly refused: "Thank you, auntie, your mouth is rotten, drink it yourself, I'm going to find my parents."

Shen Shuli turned and left without hesitation.

The woman didn't expect that the little girl could resist the temptation of water. There was a trace of regret in her eyes, regretting that she didn't find a chance to grab her hand just now.

Seeing that the girl had already run far away, she was reluctant to waste her energy chasing her and could only grit her teeth and feel annoyed.

Shen Shuli immediately hid in the forest and continued on her way towards Qinzhou from the hillside.

She learned a lot of information from the woman.

It seems that Qingzhou has been conquered by the mob.

The Qingzhou army has already headed towards Yongzhou. Most of these refugees are Qingzhou residents, and there may also be some rioters mixed in.

This group of people chose to go towards Qinzhou, perhaps because they knew there was water in Qinzhou and wanted to try their luck.

They were taking the newly built official road, which was much shorter than the deserted road.

So I walked to the front of their team.

Shen Shuli didn't walk too far. She took out a drone from the space to survey the conditions of the two surrounding mountains.

After searching for an hour, Shen Shuli finally found an abandoned temple.

It seems to be quite large.

She immediately headed towards the deserted temple.

I didn’t expect that the deserted temple looked far away, but it was even farther away when I walked there.

Shen Shuli was traveling at the fastest speed, but it still took her two hours to arrive.

After exploring the deserted temple, we found that no one had visited it for at least half a year.

Not even a mouse.

She immediately took out a large number of aged grains from the space, including black flour, multi-grain flour, aged rice, cornmeal, buckwheat flour, millet, etc.

A total of about 30,000 kilograms of grain were taken out.

With food, she could lure the refugees up the mountain and clear a path for the team.

As for water.

Shen Shuli also lacks water.

Don't waste it on these people.

In order to attract refugees, Shen Shuli specially carried a sack of unprocessed corn kernels.

He poked a hole in the grain bag and carried the bag with the hole all the way down the mountain.

There were bits of corn that were missed along the way.

So that the villagers can see it.

Shen Shuli also scattered a large handful of them at the intersection to attract refugees.

After going down the mountain.

Shen Shuli pretended to carry half a bag of food, and after seeing the refugees, she deliberately attracted their attention.

"Oh, my food!"

really.

All the refugees looked over there.

Looking at the pile of yellow corn kernels on the ground, their eyes all lit up!

"Food, she has food!"

Shen Shuli was still pretending to pick up food on the ground. She was startled by the sound and looked up.

Her little face turned pale with fear.

She immediately ran away dragging the bag, "Ah, don't steal my food! This is my food!"

"I picked up this food from the temple on the mountain. There is still a lot of food over there. You can't steal my food..."

Shen Shuli shouted loudly while running.

The refugees were all in an uproar.

He was quick-witted and had already chased after the place where Shen Shuli disappeared.

soon.

More and more people were led up the mountain.

The refugees behind didn't know what was happening and chased after them anxiously.

“There’s corn on the ground!”

"Ah, don't step on it, I saw it first!"

Shen Shuli jumped out at the right time to answer questions for the refugees behind.

"Don't pick them up. I heard that there is a lot of food in the temple on the mountain. Let's catch up quickly. If we are slow, they will be snatched away!"
