Yang Lizheng wanted to keep her, but Su Yin shook her head and refused.
"Third Grandfather, I have thought it through clearly."
Yang Lizheng still didn't give up, "Let's go down the mountain first. Once we get to the official road, you can change your mind if you want."
Su Yin nodded.
We should have been happy to get the water, but the atmosphere in the team was depressing.
The seven families headed by Su Yin walked together naturally and in the front.
Su Yin walked up to Master Wan San and asked, "Is the sign ready?"
"Okay." Master Wan San handed over a wooden sign.
There was a line of words written on the wooden sign: "There is water on the mountain."
Su Yin always felt that something was missing, and suddenly she had an idea. She took the fire stick from Master Wan San and drew a small turtle on the end.
The corners of Wan Sanye's lips twitched, "What does this mean?"
“It looks good.”
It's just a drawing, there's no need to go into so many details and rules, just do it as you like!
"You are kind-hearted. You even made a sign to warn the people behind you."
Are you kind-hearted?
Maybe!
Maybe it's out of selfish motives.
The people behind have water, so they won’t snatch water from others just for a little water.
When they reached the official road, Su Baozhu volunteered to put up the sign.
The people from Qianshan Village were resting not far away. Su Yin did not immediately distance himself from the people from Xinghua Village, but followed the large group for a while.
Only after leaving the people of Qianshan Village far behind did Su Yin say goodbye to Yang Lizheng, other elders and villagers.
"Third Grandfather, I can't walk with you on the rest of the journey."
Yang Lizheng found Su Yin again, "Su girl, have you really thought it over?"
"I've thought it through, and it's better for us to separate."
Yang Lizheng sighed helplessly, "We are the ones who are holding you back."
"What are you talking about?"
"The road ahead is long. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to come back to us."
"Yeah." Su Yin was worried and reminded, "Third grandpa, you must keep an eye on Da Zhuang's family from now on. Also, leave as soon as possible and keep a distance from Qianshan Village. The head of Qianshan Village is insidious and cunning. You can't guarantee that someone will fall into his trap."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Yang Li was very reluctant to let Su Yin leave, but he could also feel her determination.
They were holding her back.
Hey! He also wanted to leave, but he was the head of the village and couldn't do that. Since he had this title, he had to do his job well.
Aunt Wang held Su Yin's hand, looking reluctant, "Girl, I really can't bear to leave you."
Su Yin hugged Aunt Wang and patted her back gently, "Aunt Wang, we'll see each other again if we're lucky."
Several other families also said goodbye one by one.
Butcher Yang held Yang Dashu's hand and said, "You really don't want to follow us."
"No, I have old people and young children to take care of, so I don't dare to gamble. If it's just my husband and I, it's fine for us to go together."
"Take care of yourself."
"Take care of yourself."
The group consists of seven small families, and their financial resources are relatively rich compared to other people in Xinghua Village, except for Xu Niangzi's family.
There are seven families and three of them have livestock.
Su Yin had a mule, Butcher Yang had a cow, and the three uncles shared a cow.
This configuration is very high-end.
In order to hurry up, Su Yin asked the children to sit on mule carts or ox carts, so that they would not deliberately slow down because the children were not fast enough.
Because of her foot injury, Su's mother also sat in the car with the child and looked after the young baby.
They walked very quickly and in a blink of an eye they had put some distance between themselves and Xinghua Village.
The people in Xinghua Village looked at their departing backs, some sighed, some envied.
"It just broke up for no reason."
"Yeah, it just broke up like that."
"Hmph, I don't think Dazhuang's family should be left behind." Yang Dashu's wife glanced back with dissatisfaction.
"Several elders have spoken, what can we do?"
"Why……"
Dazhuang's family could clearly feel the disdain of their neighbors. They felt uncomfortable but did not dare to show it and had to put on a flattering smile on their faces.
Yang Lizheng saw that people were worried and said to them, "If everyone works together, we can go far and have a chance to survive in this world. If something like this happens again next time, it will be useless no matter who comes to plead for mercy."
As he said this, Li Zheng Yang glanced at Da Zhuang's family.
Several elders also clearly felt that the people in the team were unsettled.
Someone said faintly, "I wonder if we are doing the right thing?"
"Don't think about it. It's already happened. Let's just move on."
-
Su Yin's group of thirty-seven people walked very quickly.
They didn't stop at all along the way. If one person got tired, he would take over driving the cart, and another person would get off to push or pull the cart. Everyone took turns.
The older children also took turns resting in the car, while the younger children sat in the car or were carried on their mothers' backs.
After coming down from the mountain, they walked along the official road.
They didn't stop until the sun was about to set.
"There is a village ahead."
A small mountain village surrounded by mountains was bathed in golden light at sunset. It was unusually quiet when smoke from cooking should have been rising.
Su Yin said, "Let's rest there tonight."
When they heard that they could take a rest, both the elderly and children breathed a sigh of relief.
They worked without a break for the entire afternoon and were really exhausted.
"Let's go!"
As we approached the village, we saw the dilapidated and run-down houses, exuding a sense of decay.
Su Yin looked at the obvious axle marks on the ground. The axle marks were very new and should have been left recently.
"Everyone be careful."
As they approached the village, they found that the first few houses that were relatively well-preserved were occupied by people.
The people who occupied this place were none other than the group of the gentle scholar.
The other side also noticed Su Yin and his group.
Su Yin nodded slightly to the elegant scholar in the lead and greeted him, who smiled politely at her. The two of them tacitly did not talk too much and walked away naturally so as not to disturb each other.
"Let's go to the back."
The houses at the end of the village were much more dilapidated than those at the front, so I found a relatively intact house to move into.
"Let's not live separately, just stay here tonight."
No one had any objection.
In the dilapidated courtyard at the entrance of the village, the burly man handed the roasted rabbit meat to the elegant scholar, "Young Master, it seems that there are only a few of them."
The gentleman tore off a piece of rabbit leg and ate it slowly, saying in a light voice, "It's quite interesting."
It's rare to see a little girl so decisive and bold.
The burly man thought for a moment, "Young Master, the fun game you mentioned before, could it be this?"
The gentleman did not comment.
The burly man covered his face. His young master was good in every way except that he liked to tease people.
Of course, to use the young master’s own words, human nature is very interesting, and even more interesting when it comes to teasing.
