In Shenjia Village, every household that was willing to leave had packed up their things and were waiting at the entrance of the village.
The head of the village said that we only had to wait for an hour, but when the time was almost up, some people still came in a hurry.
They also became shaken after hearing the noise outside, so they hurriedly packed up their things and rushed over.
After counting the number of people, I found that the majority of them were here, but there were still more than 20 households that did not come out.
Among them were several elderly widows who felt that it was better to die at home than to become wandering ghosts outside, so they were unwilling to come along.
Since he hasn't come yet, he must be unwilling to leave.
Everyone looked towards the village with reluctance, and finally turned their eyes to the head of the village.
"Village head, where are we going so late at night?" someone asked.
Some who came reluctantly grumbled and complained, "Where can we go in the middle of the night? There are hundreds of people in our village, and the refugees may not dare to come over."
Someone rolled his eyes at him and said, "Didn't you hear what Mr. Shen said about the refugees breaking into the county town? If they even dare to attack the county town, who do you think you are?"
But someone still responded, "Yes, no matter how urgent it is, we can't leave overnight. We can't leave until tomorrow morning."
Although their complaints were very soft, the village head who was not far away still heard them.
He glanced sideways and said impatiently, "If you don't want to leave, you can still go back now. Otherwise, just follow me obediently. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
The few people didn't dare to say anything else. They lowered their heads unconvinced and waited for the village head's arrangements.
"We are suffering from drought, locust plague and earthquakes here. Let's go east. I heard that that is the fiefdom of the third prince and he is a kind man. He will definitely not ignore us once we get there." The head of the village sighed.
"Besides, if we walk a little further east, we will reach the Imperial City. We are not afraid of anything."
Shen Yu'an was not surprised to hear his arrangement. No matter what happened, the people would definitely feel that the imperial city was the safest.
However, they didn't know that the imperial city was in chaos right now. Even if she told them, they might not believe her and would probably think she was being unreasonable.
There is no need to think about this now. Shen Yu'an plans to take the Shen family to the southeast, which is directly under the emperor and far away from the imperial city. However, there is a great general guarding there now.
I can still travel with them for a while now, and let them choose where to go.
The village head said again: "Let's go east first and see how far we can go."
Shen Yu'an frowned. Going east is the road to the town. If that group of refugees came from the town, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
While she was thinking about it, she had already said the words of objection: "No, you can't go that way."
The village head was upset when he heard that someone dared to oppose him, and said in a bad tone: "The only way out of the village is that way. If you don't go east, are you going to the Big Python Mountain in the west?"
"Grandpa Lizheng is really smart. He can think of an idea as soon as I say it. There is only one way out of the village. The refugees must have taken this road. There are no forks on this road. If we run into refugees while walking, it will be a waste of effort."
Shen Yu'an praised Shen Lizheng highly with just one sentence, so it was not easy for him to get angry at her again.
Even though she was a little unhappy, she understood what Shen Yu'an meant, so she could only say, "The girl from the Shen family said everything I was thinking. So what do you think we should do now? We can't go back now that we have packed everything up."
Shen Yu'an smiled and said, "Let's go to the mountains and hide for a night. It won't be too late to leave when the sun rises."
"Okay, let's do as the Shen girl said and hide in the mountains for one night."
Seeing that this opinion was agreed, Shen Yu'an led the Shen family to walk in front to clear the way, and the Zhang family and Wu Cuihua family followed closely behind, and the rest of the people followed.
However, there were also people who scoffed at this. Lin Erdan was still brooding over the fact that Shen Yu'an put a knife to his neck to scare him, and he was both afraid and hated her.
He followed them to a place a little distance away from the Shen family and asked loudly, "You are so powerful, why are you afraid of a few refugees? Wouldn't it be enough to scare them with a few hits of your kitchen knife?"
Hearing his elementary school-like yelling, Shen Yu'an turned around and gave him a disdainful look.
It was already dark, but when Lin Erdan saw Shen Yu'an looking at him, he felt like he saw a flash of starlight.
Tsk, this little girl from Mr. Shen’s family is so damn pretty.
It's just... too violent.
Lin Erdan quickly lowered his head and looked at the road carefully.
No one else responded. Because some families had livestock with them, they found a relatively flat and convenient path.
After walking for a full half hour, everyone finally found a place to stop and rest.
Everyone wiped their sweat and sat down.
Looking down from the mountain, you can vaguely see several villages at the foot of the mountain, and some houses have still kept their oil lamps on.
I don't know how long it took, when everyone was no longer paying attention to the situation down the mountain, someone exclaimed: "Look, someone is coming down the mountain."
Hearing his words, everyone hurriedly looked down the mountain and saw a long fire dragon and someone holding a torch coming towards them.
Then we saw those people holding torches heading towards the village next to Shenjia Village.
Because they were on a high ground, they could clearly see those people entering the yard and starting to rummage through things.
The owner of the house heard the noise and started fighting with those people, who were fighting as if they were risking their lives.
Some of them even had knives in their hands. They were fighting for the food in an old woman's arms, and when they saw that the old woman refused to let go, they swung at her with their knives.
From a distance, I saw that the woman twitched a few times on the ground after being stabbed and then became motionless.
After robbing that village, those people gathered together and went to the next village, and the next village was: Shenjia Village!
They did the same thing when they arrived at Shenjia Village.
Because the people in Shenjia Village knew the news in advance and escaped, they didn't find much and took out their anger on the remaining people.
The scene at the foot of the mountain was horrific. Everyone turned their eyes away, unable to bear to watch any longer.
Everyone was in low spirits. No matter how good or bad their relationship was in the past, they all felt bad. Seeing them being killed made people feel a sense of grief.
They wrapped their clothes tightly around them and suddenly felt that the hot night had turned chilly.
Thinking about the kitchen knives waving in the hands of the refugees, it seemed as if they were about to chop them down at any moment.
The whole family huddled together, as if that would make them feel a little safer.
Fortunately, they all followed us out just now, otherwise they would have been beheaded by now.
Lin Chunyan, who was not far away, gathered her clothes and turned her head to see the calm Shen Yu'an.
She suddenly felt that Shen Yu'an's appearance was particularly annoying. Everyone was afraid, so why wasn't she afraid?
Shen Yu'an's calm look made Lin Chunyan want to destroy her.
When Shen Yu'an noticed this unfriendly gaze and looked over, he saw that the expression on Lin Chunyan's face, who had been discovered, twisted for a moment, and then she forced an ugly smile.
