Aunt Chi sighed.

A look of confusion crossed his eyes: "So what do we do now?"

Little Zhou suggested, "Why don't we chip in and pay the money?"

Where else could they go?

Chi Sanhe objected: "Five taels of silver per person! Do we have that much money? Besides, who knows if we'll have to pay another five taels or even more after we go in?"

Why should we hand over the money that our family has worked so hard to save to these beasts?

Madam Zhou: "Then what do you suggest we do? How about we go back to Jinyang City?"

go home?

Everyone's eyes lit up.

yes.

The earthquake is over now. Although I've heard there might be floods, I'm sure they'll find somewhere to hide.

"I'm afraid if we go back now... we'll have to pay a toll, and there are bandits behind us, what if we run into them?"

Li Mingfan's face was full of sorrow.

No matter what choice you make now, it won't work!

Both families were at a loss.

"How about we go back to where we stayed last night?" someone suggested.

We can't stay stuck here forever.

After thinking it over, the two families realized they had no clue what to do, so they could only go back home.

However, after returning this time, I found that many more people who had fled famine had settled in the village.

They must all be the same as them, right?

After settling in, the two families discussed for a long time but still couldn't come up with a solution.

In the blink of an eye.

It's already the second day.

Just as everyone was getting up, the Li family discovered that Li Mingrong and his family of three were missing!
