The world is in chaos now, so we must be on guard against others.
Everyone understands Yang Lizheng's concerns.
Everyone understood each other tacitly and pretended to slow down, and the people in the team behind quickly caught up.
Yang Dashan took the lead to make way and signaled them to go first.
Neither party communicated with each other, but looked at each other warily, fearing that someone would suddenly snatch their belongings.
Su Yin walked while observing the people passing by them, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Most of these people are young and middle-aged. Looking at their faces, they are all plump, with skin a healthy malt color. Their mental outlook is completely different from that of farmers. Even if they wear tattered clothes, it still can't conceal the aura they exude.
I'm afraid this group of people are not refugees fleeing famine. They are hiding from something by pretending to be refugees.
Su Yin thought of the bandits that appeared not long ago. If they were not bandits, they were probably the people who were chasing them.
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and the more I wanted to stay away from this group of people.
Su Yin walked up to Yang Lizheng and reminded him in a low voice, "Third Grandfather, these people are not refugees fleeing famine."
Yang Lizheng was startled and looked at Su Yin in surprise.
"Their steps are steady and powerful, and they are full of energy. People who work all year round cannot compare with them. And you can see that most of their team are young and strong."
Yang Lizheng listened to Su Yin's analysis and calmly observed the team that passed by them. The more he watched, the more frightened he became. What Su Yin said next made his heart rise to his throat.
"A group of well-trained people, disguised as refugees, are probably trying to hide from others, or are hiding from someone who is hunting them down."
Even though Yang Lizheng had seen many storms and waves, he could no longer remain calm when he heard that this group of people was likely to bring danger.
He called his son Yang Fu and said, "Tell them to rest for a quarter of an hour."
You have to distance yourself from that group of people.
Yang Fu walked to the front and said something to Yang Dashu. The people in front stopped, and the people behind also stopped slowly.
"Why are you taking a break?"
"Just take a rest, there's no need to say so much. Some rest is not good enough. In my opinion, you are not tired enough."
"Hurry up and take a rest. I heard that we will have to change the route later."
…
There was another group of refugees that was fleeing at a distance from them. A young man walked up to the man leading the group.
"Sir, the fleeing team behind us has stopped. Have they discovered something? Should we..." The young man's eyes were fierce and he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
The leading man glanced at the team behind them. There were hundreds of people, young and old, wearing tattered clothes and covered in dust. They were obviously refugees who had been walking for a long time. What could be seen from such a bunch of mud-legged people?
"What can they see? Don't waste time on such people. Don't forget our purpose this time."
"Yes." The young man agreed, feeling a little regretful.
It seemed that the group of people were different from the refugees they met in Yuzhou. They must have a lot of money on them.
If they could kill them, the money would belong to them.
It's a pity that the higher-ups don't allow it, otherwise...
The young man licked his lips, a cruel smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
If I meet them again on my way back, maybe I can grab some money from them.
Under the shade of the tree, little Yang Gui was lying on the ground with his ears pressed to the ground, holding a wooden stick in his hand to tease the insects on the ground.
When little Yang Gui saw Su Yin, he quickly got up, looked at her with curiosity, and said in a baby voice, "Sister, the ground makes a sound."
With just one sentence, Su Yin's expression suddenly changed.
Su Yin then lay on the ground and put his ear to the ground to feel it. As expected, he could feel the vibration of the ground. Although it was very subtle, it was real.
She glanced at the team in front of her and found that they were already hundreds of meters away from her, which was not a safe distance.
I can’t care so much now.
Su Yin found Yang Lizheng and told him the situation.
Based on Su Yin's previous performances, Li Zheng Yang did not raise any questions and immediately gave orders to head into the forest.
"Hurry, hurry up."
Yang Fu led his men to urge the people behind him, and when he saw someone was slow, he stepped forward to help push.
"What's going on?"
Someone grabbed Yang Fu and asked, "Did something happen?"
Although Yang Fu didn't know what had happened to make his father look so solemn, he thought it must be a big deal.
"Don't ask, just go."
Seeing how anxious he was, the man stopped asking questions and quickly asked the whole family to get up.
The team walked towards the woods, and the sinister young man disguised as refugees in the team inadvertently glanced back.
Hey, where are those people?
He was still there a cup of tea ago, how come he suddenly disappeared?
His eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of hostility flashed across them.
The sinister young man approached the leader again and said, "Sir, the group of people fleeing from the famine has disappeared."
Upon hearing this, the leader turned around and looked behind him, and sure enough, there was no trace of that team.
"The behavior of that group of refugees is really suspicious." The sinister young man began to put on eye drops.
The leader narrowed his eyes with murderous intent.
The sinister young man knew that something was up, and continued to talk nonsense, "Sir, how about I take a few brothers with me to investigate?"
The leader glanced at him, and the sinister young man felt a little guilty, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. When he thought the other party would scold him, a faint voice floated out from above his head.
"Go ahead. Make quick work of it."
"Yes." The sinister young man was overjoyed.
He immediately called a few companions who had the same bad smell, quietly left the team, and chased in the direction where Su Yin was.
There was no road in the forest, but as a large group of people entered the forest, they made a path inside.
Yang Dashan, Yang Dashu and others walked in the front, holding axes and clearing a path. Ox carts and mule carts then cleared the path. After they had passed, it would be much easier for those behind to walk.
"Su girl, did the shopkeeper tell us where he is and what are the characteristics of the surrounding area?" Yang Dashu asked.
"It should be in the col between the peaks."
Yang Dashan raised his head and glanced at the top of the mountain. “It looks close, but it’s not close when you walk.”
"Yeah. For a sip of water, you should walk a little further."
Su Yin was calculating the time. When the time was almost up, she had to stop the team and they could not move forward any further.
Her purpose was to lead them to avoid the group of killers. The other mountain springs and the small roads leading to Yongqing County were all nonsense.
They were struggling to move forward ahead, as five people, led by a sinister young man, had already rushed into the woods.
"They should go that way."
It doesn't take much effort to tell the direction they were walking just by looking at the axle marks on the ground.
Following the traces they left behind, the five people quickly caught up with the team.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a sharp sound was heard, startling everyone and making them look behind them.
Su Yin, Yang Lizheng and others walked across the crowd and looked back. They saw five young men holding long knives and pointing them at them with ill intentions.
