Chapter 29: Chasing?

Everyone knows that there will be someone to provide meals at the construction site, so they don’t bring much dry food with them on the road.

The number of cakes Song Dekui took out was just right. It was not too much at all. These were specially prepared by the wife of the village head.

But because he was afraid that Mrs. Gu would find out and scold him, he put the food in his son's saddle bag and waited for them to share it on the way.

Song Zhenping rubbed his hands and refused to take it, saying awkwardly, "I'm not hungry. Thank you, Uncle Kui."

He grew up in Xiaoshi Village until he was nineteen years old. He rarely ate food from other people's homes. If Mrs. Gu and others found out that someone gave him food, not only would they be beaten and scolded, but the kind-hearted people would also be disturbed.

Secondly, having lived and eaten at the headman's house was already a source of trouble.

He and Xiao An usually eat two meals every three days, so they are used to being hungry.

Song Dekui glared: "You didn't eat last night, and now you have to hurry on your way. Who will care if you faint from hunger when you're out and about?"

Song Zhenping was still hesitating, but Song Liyun had already taken the dry food: "Uncle Kui, I won't be polite. From now on, I will treat you to the best restaurant and give you plenty of good wine and food." She did not mention the restaurant she was in in the county.

To be honest, my original body had only been doing chores like washing and washing, and had been eating leftovers. Even if some delicacies from land and sea were mixed together and heated up, it was still almost like pig food.

Song Dekui just said it casually. When he heard that Song Liyun wanted to treat him to the best restaurant in the future, he laughed and said, "Okay, I've made a note of it. If it's not convenient for you, a woman, to go to the restaurant, you have to let your nephew-in-law accompany me for a drink."

Song Liyun said without hesitation: "Of course, if your nephew-in-law doesn't want to, I will pull his ears and drive him away."

Song Zhenping was shocked and looked around hurriedly, fearing that Song Liyun would say such words and others would hear her and say that she was a shameless girl.

Song Dekui laughed so hard that his eyebrows flew up. He loved to talk nonsense.

He ran to the town to work as a eunuch because he felt suffocated at home. Now that he heard that Song Liyun was not shy, it was exactly what he wanted. If it weren't for the difference in generation and gender, he would have wanted to become sworn brothers.

With the cakes in hand, the four of them started to eat with big mouthfuls, and Song Dekui chatted with Xiao An from time to time.

The child remained silent the entire time, and Song Liyun suspected that he had autism.

At other times, I would want to check it carefully.

She was not in the mood at the moment.

There is no way to hide the fact that you emptied all your things when you left.

By this time, the Song family should have discovered it and reported it to the police. I need to leave immediately and find a place to change my identity and start a new life.

Without telling Song Lizheng and Song Zhenping, and under the pretext of performing corvée labor and escaping marriage, Song Liyun took possession of the Song family's property and left Xiaoshi Village, never thinking of going back.

According to Song Liyun, no matter what dynasty or era, no matter how strict the laws are, there will always be some sparsely populated areas.

As long as he took his two brothers and left Xiaoshi Village and went into the mountains immediately to avoid household registration management, he could live a comfortable life.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. She did not expect that Song Dekui would come to take care of her brother and sister under the instructions of Song Lizheng.

If I sneak away and leave him now, it will make another person worried and frightened, which would be a bit too much both morally and morally.

Song Liyun bit the crispy and sweet millet cake in her mouth and wondered: When did she become so soft-hearted?

In the end times, you can leave whenever you want without any worries, but you have only been here for a few days, why did you change your mind?

Forget it, this pancake is good, I’ll eat it first.

There are hundreds of people on the road, and there will be chaos if the government wants to find me. It won't be too late to leave then.

After realizing this, Song Liyun turned her attention back to the food in her mouth.

This pancake was freshly baked this morning. With her limited knowledge of food acquired in the apocalypse, she couldn't tell what was inside. She just felt it was crispy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. It was so fragrant! So delicious!

None of them were squeamish. Even the silent Xiao An ate by stuffing his food into his mouth and swallowing it. A piece of millet cake went into his stomach in just a few bites.

Song Liyun decided to bring up the fact that she would not return to Xiaoshi Village.

If the three of them suddenly disappear at that time, Song Dekui will be mentally prepared and will not have to report the case again.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw smoke and dust billowing from the direction of the county town, followed by screams and noise.

Everyone stood up and looked over there. After just a few minutes, the noise became louder and louder, and some people even started pointing and backing away.

Song Dekui was a man who hated the hustle and bustle. He jumped up and ran forward, not forgetting to show concern for the three siblings as he left: "Don't wander around. I'm going to go over there to see what's going on and I'll be back soon!"

Song Liyun frowned, an ominous sign came to her mind: it must be Song Lao Er who reported the case, and the people from the county government are investigating.

As soon as Song Dekui left, she hurriedly whispered to Song Zhenping, "Brother, I think Song Defu is chasing us!"

Song Zhenping, who was still looking around, suddenly changed his expression: "Yun'er, hurry up and go to the county town to find the owner of the restaurant you used to live in. Ask him to take you in again. Don't go home."

Song Liyun couldn't help but roll her eyes. It was the same as if he hadn't said anything.

If the county government really wants to arrest someone, and you still go to the county town, wouldn't that be walking into a trap?

Song Liyun shook her head and whispered, "Let's all go. Brother, you and Xiao An can't go to perform labor service. Let's go somewhere else. Even if I escape, Song Lao Er won't let you go."

"Then what should we do? Tell me!"

Song Zhenping was not stupid. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and agreed. Since his second sister had run away from her marriage, he would definitely be punished if he went back.

He is also a 19-year-old young man. It is his nature to hate constraints and yearn for freedom.

Ever since Yun'er mentioned the idea of ​​escaping marriage by performing labor service at the headman's house, Song Zhenping's world has changed, as if it was the first ray of light shining into the dark prison.

Now, this ray of light will give him a bright future.

Song Liyun leaned over and whispered quickly in his ear. Song Zhenping's eyes widened. Finally, he swallowed hard and looked troubled. "Yun'er, this... is too difficult. I heard that they'll check your travel permit and household registration everywhere. If you're caught as a refugee, you'll go to jail!"

When Xiaoshi Village was in the most difficult time, he thought about taking Xiaoan and escaping into the mountains, and never thought about becoming a refugee.

Now that the second sister is back, she can avoid the Xue family's marriage by performing labor service.

In the future, the village head will separate his family from his second uncle's family, open up wasteland and sell firewood, so that they can make a living.

Being a refugee... there's no way out.

"It's life or death, there's only this way. You've also heard from the village head that it's very difficult to relocate people, and no village is willing to give its land to outsiders.

What would Second Uncle think if we split up and stayed in Xiaoshi Village? Would he and his stepmother let us go? Would Xiao An tolerate them coming over every few days to cause trouble?

Besides, they are our elders and can still decide our marriage.

This time I am marrying Master Xue, what if I marry you a fool next time? And Xiao An has to grow up too, I can't run away from the marriage every time.

Let's move to another place, where we can at least have a chance of survival."

Song Liyun transformed into Grandma Wolf and began to analyze patiently.

She believed that if Song Zhenping had readily accepted the idea of ​​escaping marriage, he would also readily accept being a "refugee".

Freedom is addictive. As soon as everyone takes the first step, they will want more.
