Su Yunhai led his family and walked quickly in front. The old Su family and the Zhang family also followed closely behind with gritted teeth. The other villagers were left far behind.

Fortunately, the locusts will not stay here for long and will pass by soon. The villagers will not be in danger even if they fall behind.

It took a full two hours for the locusts to completely leave.

It can be seen how terrifying the number of locust swarms is!

Su Yunhai chose a shady place for everyone to rest and wait for the lagging villagers.

Su Dalin mustered up the courage to look for Su Yunhai.

"Second brother, can I talk to you about something?" Su Dalin looked at Su Yunhai in a flattering manner, with pleading eyes.

Su Yunhai was quite disappointed with his third brother.

When leaving the village, he lent two mule carts to his third brother.

A lot of meat was also given.

...

...

As a result, the third brother didn't even bother to help when the barbarian spies appeared.

Not only did he take away the two snail carts he had given him, he also watched helplessly as his parents stole a cart of supplies from him and ran off with them.

This was a betrayal to Su Yunhai.

Backstab from a loved one.

That’s not all.

After the two families reunited, the third brother did not immediately stand up to express his opinion or apologize, and did not even dare to say a word to him.

How could Su Yunhai not feel chilled.

"If you have something to say, just say it quickly." Su Yunhai said impatiently.

Su Dalin knew that he had hurt his second brother's feelings, but he still had the nerve to explain carefully.

"Brother, I was wrong. My parents forced me to go with them. If I didn't go, they would take away the supplies in my two trucks."

"I have no choice but to follow them. Otherwise, our family will be left without food and you, my second brother, will have to support our family of four."

"Brother, you have helped me so much. I can't rely on you forever. I can only go with my parents. At least they have to take care of our family's food and drink."

"Also, my parents and eldest brother originally wanted to take all your cars away. I begged them on my knees before they reluctantly agreed to take only one."

"I'm not saying this to take credit, nor am I putting the blame on my parents. I know I'm soft-tempered and can't say no to my parents. It's my fault. I failed my second brother for being so kind to me."

Su Dashan explained dejectedly, and then he thought of something, took out a pitch-black bag from his arms and quickly stuffed it into Su Yunhai's lapel.

"Second brother, when the refugees were robbing last night, I took their silver from my eldest brother. I give all this to you, hoping it can compensate for your loss."

Su Yunhai looked at his third brother's explanation expressionlessly and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

No matter what the third brother was thinking when he did this, he did feel better after hearing his explanation.

I felt that the silver in my arms was quite heavy, and estimated that there was more than two hundred taels of silver.

It seems that the third brother dared to come and apologize to me because he got this money.

Su Yunhai patted his third brother's shoulder, with a barely perceptible light in his eyes.

From this perspective, the third brother seems to be quite sinister.

In this case, why not just let him go down this path and get darker and darker?

"Okay, for the sake of the money, I forgive you." Su Yunhai called out to Shen Yuehua and said with a smile, "Wife, bring a bucket of water to the third brother."

Su Dalin didn't expect that his second brother would forgive him so easily!

And give him a bucket of water!

He knew his second brother's character too well. He was definitely not someone who could be bought with money.

But the second brother did give him a bucket of water!

Su Dalin was so moved that his eyes turned red!

"Wow, second brother, you are really my dear second brother! Wuuuu, I will never do anything to let you down again, and I will give all the money I have in the future to you." Su Dalin was so moved that he immediately expressed his loyalty.

Su Yunhai did not comment on this and just listened to it.

Old Man Su, Old Lady Su and Su Dashan didn't expect that the third brother could get such a big bucket of water from the second brother.

They all looked at the third brother with shining eyes in flattering manner.

"San'er, you are really amazing. You can actually get so much water from the unfilial son, the second son. Give it to mother quickly. I will cook porridge for everyone. You have to plan carefully." Old Mrs. Su was so happy that she stretched out her hand to grab the bucket from Su Dalin.

Su Dalin knew that he could not keep the water, so he quickly said, "Mom, I said a lot of nice things to my second brother to beg for this water, you have to leave some water for your son!"

Old Mrs. Su was in a good mood and said generously, "Okay, you have done the most today, you can fetch some water first, and then give it to mother when you are done."

Su Dalin quickly came to his luggage with a bucket and asked Lin Xiuxiu to take out all the water bags and fill them with water.

There was only two-thirds of water left in the bucket.

But it is enough for the 18 people in the Su family to replenish their water.

Not long.

People from Taohua Village arrived one after another.

Seeing the Su and Zhang families waiting on the roadside, the villagers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But everyone's face was filled with worry.

Last night, some refugees robbed them of their food. Although the loss was not big, they would still feel sad for even the slightest loss.

The locusts just now were gnawing at their grain sacks desperately, and the sacks were full of holes.

A lot of water was also consumed by the locusts.

Even the exposed skin of several people had bloody wounds from locust bites.

Fortunately, no accidents happened in the second half of the day.

In order to reach Qingzhou City today, everyone held their breath and hurried on their way.

finally.

The large army arrived at the gate of Qingzhou city at the hour of Xu.

Because it was a hot summer, the sky was still bright at the hour of Xu.

There were many people queuing at the city gate to enter the city.

Looking around, there were at least several thousand people crowded outside the city gate. The team was motionless and made no progress at all.

These people all looked ragged and dirty, probably the victims who had fled from famine in various places.

If we continue to wait at this rate, we will probably have to wait until tomorrow.

Su Yunhai was anxious, so he asked Zhang Shiwen to lead the team in lining up while he prepared to go to the front to see what was going on.

Naturally, I have to bring my precious daughter Shen Shuli with me.

Shen Shuli had not expected that so many refugees would gather in Qingzhou.

If she couldn't get into the city, there was a high probability that uncontrollable consequences would occur, so she wanted to get into the city as soon as possible.

Fortunately, although there were many people, they did not dare to act rashly outside the city gate.

Everyone was lined up neatly, with gaps in between for people to pass through.

What surprised Shen Shuli was.

There were more than twenty officers and soldiers guarding the city gate on duty outside, and half of them were responsible for maintaining order among the refugees.

Shen Shuli walked up to the officers and soldiers in charge of the queue and asked for information with an innocent and pure smile on her face.

This face is still very childish. In order to hide her original skin color, she would deliberately make her face the same skin color as other children every day.

But her pair of exceptionally clear and bright eyes would make anyone who saw them happy.

Coupled with her youthful and tender smile, no one can resist her cuteness.

"Officer, can I ask you a question?" Shen Shuli asked.

The officers and soldiers did not expect to see such bright eyes in the crowd, and they felt their hearts were almost melted by cuteness.

“Ahem…”

Su Yunhai felt that the soldiers kept staring at his daughter, and that their looks were very offensive.

He couldn't help but cough lightly to remind her.
