"Why are they so weird? This place is big and it's at the city gate, so it's safer than the wilderness, not to mention there's free porridge."
The Zhang family couldn’t figure out why, they just thought those two groups of people were crazy.
The eldest of the Zhang family spoke up, "Don't forget, those people are very cautious. This place is so good, but they didn't stay. There must be some danger here. We can't stay here either, let's go quickly."
"Brother, are we really leaving? What if they are planning to hurry on their journey?" the third brother asked.
He really didn't want to walk anymore. He had been walking for the entire afternoon without stopping, and his calves began to feel sore and swollen.
"No. The group of people before had already set up camp. Now they left suddenly, they must have discovered something." The Zhang family's eldest brother didn't see anything wrong here, but it was always right to follow cautious people.
If you don’t understand, then follow those who do.
In today's world, it is better to suffer a little and work harder than to rely on luck.
Old man Zhang still trusts his eldest son very much.
Although his family was so poor, he was able to support such a large family and not let any child starve to death, all thanks to his eldest son.
The reason why this family chose him to be the head was because they valued the eldest son's abilities.
If he feels something is inappropriate, it is best not to touch it.
If you don't listen to advice, you will definitely suffer.
"Stop talking, just listen to the boss. Just be tired today and hurry up."
Old Man Zhang had spoken, and even if the others were unhappy, they did not dare to say anything more.
When the eldest child heard that he had to leave again, he looked miserable.
She ran to her father and asked, "Dad, how long will we be gone this time?"
"have no idea."
At least get away from here first.
"Daddy, my feet hurt and there are blisters on the soles of my feet."
"When we have a break, let your mother pick it out for you."
Old man Zhang and his family, about twenty people in total, dragged an ox cart and a flatbed cart and left the city gate in a mighty procession.
When those numb refugees saw them leaving, there was a strange look of envy in their eyes.
The scattered new refugees also noticed these three gangs, and each of them looked at them curiously.
“Is there something wrong with these people?”
"Why do you care what others do? Hurry up, it will be our turn soon."
Several soldiers guarding the city on the city gate tower noticed the direction they left and frowned.
"What's wrong with them?"
"Who knows?"
"Tell the captain about this right away."
On the other side, after Su Yin and others left Hui'an Prefecture, they walked along the official road and bypassed Hui'an Prefecture.
After they walked for a while, they soon discovered that there was a team following them.
"Yinyin, that group of people are following us." Su Baozhu glanced behind.
Su Yin took a look and said nothing.
However, Master Wan San said with a smile: "They are quite smart."
As night fell and the sky became completely dark, Yang Dashan took the simple torch he had prepared from the car.
There are three torches, placed at the front, middle and back of the team.
“Gurgle”…
Master Wan San's stomach growled.
There was no time to prepare dinner today as they were traveling at night, so Su Yin took out a piece of dried meat from her pocket and handed it to Master Wan San.
Uncle Wan San chewed it slowly. It tasted good, and it would be even better if put in porridge.
Su's mother took out some bread from the car and handed it to Su Yin, Su Baozhu and Mr. Wan Sanye.
He was eating a pancake, glanced at Niuniu who was sitting next to him, tore off half of the pancake and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Auntie." Niuniu happily took it, "Auntie, can I give it to my mother?"
"Niuniu, eat it yourself. I'll give the other half to your mother."
Su's mother really felt sorry for the mother and daughter. They walked all day and didn't eat a single piece of bread. Even though the little girl was growling with hunger, she didn't say a word and didn't ask for food.
The little girl is so sensible, it makes people feel sorry for her.
The seven families each ate their dry food and everyone concentrated on their journey.
Even though everyone took turns to rest, their legs felt a little tired after walking all day.
Su Baozhu wanted to take a break, but was afraid that once she took a break, she would not want to keep walking.
"Yinyin, when are we going to rest?"
Su Yin calculated the time. It had been an hour since they left Hui'an Prefecture.
Su Yin was still a little worried about this distance.
"Hold on a little longer. Just walk for another half an hour."
Su Baozhu's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"real."
She quickly told others the good news.
When everyone heard that they only needed to hold on for another half an hour, smiles appeared on their faces.
In fact, traveling at night is not as convenient as during the day, and you can't walk as fast as during the day.
If it weren't for the last resort, Su Yin would not be willing to travel at night, not to mention that many of them couldn't see clearly at night.
Nan Jing and his group, who had been following them, saw that the moon was already high in the sky, but they did not seem to be taking a break at all.
The burly man couldn't help but mutter, "Why don't they rest yet?"
"Young Master, shall we continue to follow?"
Nan Jingzhi looked at the three flames ahead and said, "Keep following."
The burly man was depressed. If they didn't stop, we wouldn't stop either.
As for the Zhang family, they were chasing after them, but the vision was obstructed at night and they could not see either team at all.
"Brother, why don't we find a place to rest?"
The eldest of the Zhang family shook his head. He was worried all the time. "No, we must catch up with them."
After coming out of Hui'an Prefecture, they had left Hui'an Prefecture far behind, but the two groups did not stop, which showed that they had not gone far enough for them to feel safe.
So, they have to keep up.
Half an hour later, Su Yin found a place and called a halt.
"I'll stay here tonight."
Several younger children had already fallen asleep on the ox cart.
The adults started to clean up.
"Uncle, light two fires tonight. One down below and one in the center of the camp."
"good."
It was too late today and many of the luggage had not been unloaded from the mule carts and horse carriages.
Su Yin sprinkled some sulfur powder around the camp and spread straw mats in a relatively flat area.
When Nan Jingzhi and his group saw them stop, they also stopped and began to prepare a place to rest for the night.
Master Wan San glanced at the team behind him and said, "Girl Su, they are following us."
"Do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing?"
“It’s a mixed bag.”
Su Baozhu, who was standing by, was completely confused.
"What do you mean?"
What are these two people talking about?
"I'll tell you tomorrow."
Master Wan San saw Su Yin walking towards Nan Jingzhi and asked, "Su girl, what are you going to do?"
"What do you think?"
Su Yin did not answer directly, but called her three uncles, Butcher Yang, Madam Xu, and the old man and teacher from the Zhou family.
"Yinyin, what are we going to do there?"
"Let's talk about cooperation."
Everyone was confused, except Master Wan San.
