"My daughter came back from Qingzhou. She is very familiar with the place. I think this road will work. Uncle Li, what do you think?"
Village chief Li’s original name was Li Youren. He has voluntarily resigned and is no longer serving as village chief. It would be inappropriate for Su Yunhai to continue calling him village chief.
Li Youren had only been to Qingyun City and knew nothing about other places.
Now I can only follow Su Yunhai's arrangements.
He nodded directly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Many people in our Li family are running low on food. We have to find a chance to go into the city to buy some food."
After the route was agreed upon, Su Yunhai led the team ahead.
However, the Su family had four mule carts and one horse carriage, but not enough male members.
Seeing that his daughter's family was short-handed, grandpa sent several sons and grandsons to help drive the cart.
Su Yunhai simply stopped driving the carriage and asked two more people to help drive the carriage, allowing Shen Yuehua and Su Ping'an to sit in the carriage and rest.
He rode the horse his daughter had prepared for him and led the way.
...
...
Most members of the Li family have cars, and the supplies they bring seem to be a lot, but in fact most of them are household belongings, and there is not much food and water left.
Shen Shuli was riding a horse at the end of the team.
She didn't want to stay in the stuffy carriage and would rather be more comfortable outside.
Along the way.
Shen Shuli looked around and saw hundreds of people fleeing famine on both sides of the road.
But these people were obviously not in the same group and were divided into several small groups.
These people looked at the Taohua Village convoy with eager eyes, but no one dared to come up and test it.
Because in the Taohua Village team, almost all the men have big swords in their hands.
These people didn't dare to act blindly at all, perhaps because they were not yet out of ammunition and food, so they were unwilling to gamble with their lives.
Shen Shuli's team had just been walking for an hour.
Zhang Shiwen and his family, along with the rest of the villagers from Taohua Village, also rushed to the tea shed.
I looked around but couldn't find anyone I knew.
He didn't know whether Su Dahai and his family had not come down the mountain or had already left.
I specifically went to nearby refugees to ask for information.
"Everyone, have you ever seen a 200-pound fat man passing by with hundreds of villagers fleeing famine?" Zhang Shiwen asked anxiously.
There's been a lot of unrest in the city lately.
It’s God’s blessing that I can leave the city today.
He listened to the discussions of the people in Qingyun City, saying that hundreds of people were chopped into meat paste in front of the city gate by a mysterious force.
The mysterious man also left some words asking the people to flee immediately.
Zhang Shiwen also saw the large blood-red characters on the city wall and was terrified.
He did not dare to go to the county government office to check the situation, for fear that they would be arrested by the soldiers.
Seeing that the city gate was unguarded, he immediately ran out with the villagers and hurried on his way.
I agreed with Su Yunhai to meet at this tea stall.
He didn't dare to make a blind decision whether to go or wait, for fear of missing each other.
The refugees on the roadside saw that Zhang Shiwen's clothes were all made of soft cotton cloth and he brought several carts of supplies with him, so it was obvious that he had no shortage of food.
The most important thing is that few of these people carry knives.
Their hearts began to perk up.
Zhang Shiwen is a very shrewd businessman and often deals with various businessmen.
Basically, you can get a glimpse of the other person's thoughts from their eyes.
He saw a gleam in the man's eyes, and it was obvious that he had seen Su Dahai before, but his eyes were always looking at his clothes and the supplies behind him, so he knew that this man was going to ask for a huge sum of money.
If he really satisfied this man's request just for a piece of information, then the hundreds of people along the way would probably not let them go.
Zhang Shiwen figured out the key and immediately turned around and left, not giving the other party a chance to speak.
The refugee didn't know why the man in front of him left without waiting for him to say anything, and he immediately became anxious.
"Hey, why are you leaving? I haven't answered your question yet! Don't leave!"
When Zhang Shiwen heard this, he walked faster.
"Hurry up, Mr. Su is already ahead. If we hurry up, maybe we can catch up with him."
"As you can see, there are already so many refugees on the roadside. There may be another large group coming. We must leave quickly to prevent them from stealing our food."
Zhang Shiwen lowered his voice to remind the people in the team, urging everyone to hurry up.
Everyone became anxious when they heard this.
Being trapped in the city for the past two days, they have been keeping an eye on the situation outside and learned that they can no longer buy food in the city.
But they consume a lot of food every day, and there is not much food left.
They can't let the last bit of food be stolen.
Looking at the wolf-like eyes of the refugees on the roadside, Zhang Shiwen didn't need to urge them much, everyone was hurrying on their way at full speed.
The homeless people on the roadside are ready to move.
They all heard the water being carried by these people, and the water being shaken made a rustling sound.
Zhang Shiwen saw this and immediately shouted, "Brothers, show us our weapons. If anyone dares to get close to us, we'll chop off their hands!"
After saying that, he took the lead in pulling out a big knife from the car and blocked it in front of him, pretending to be fierce.
But he was afraid in his heart and his legs and feet were trembling.
He was just a weak wealthy businessman who had never fought with anyone. This was the first time.
Among the villagers of Taohua Village behind him, several families participated in killing bandits.
They were not afraid at all. They immediately drew their knives and stared fiercely at the people on both sides of the road.
Successfully dissuaded these people from their thoughts.
Perhaps because they saw that this group and the previous group were carrying a lot of food, these refugees followed silently behind.
I hope to find an opportunity to ask these rich people for food.
Su Yunhai didn't know that this rare 200-pound fat man had become a mark for others to identify him.
The official road is wide and the ground is flat.
The group of people fleeing famine from Taohua Village moved very fast.
They couldn't help being unhappy.
The further we went, the more groups of refugees we encountered on the road.
Fortunately, these teams will not occupy the entire road and will give way to the faster teams behind them.
Otherwise, they will definitely be stuck behind and progress will be slow.
Su Yunhai waved to Shen Shuli at the end of the team.
Shen Shuli rode her horse a few steps quickly and walked side by side with Su Yunhai.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
"There are more and more refugees on the road, and there are some border residents among them. It is clear that a large number of refugees are on the road, and they may soon pour into Qingzhou."
Su Yunhai was worried and spoke to his daughter in a low voice.
"Yeah, I saw that, too."
Although Shen Shuli rode slowly along the way, she was always alert to her surroundings, fearing that these refugees would rush towards their team without any care.
"Our team is too small, and we have too much supplies, so we are easily targeted by refugees." Su Yunhai continued, "When we find a chance, you can hide two trucks in the space, and we only need one truck."
"No problem, this is easy." Shen Shuli nodded in agreement.
"As for the problem of a small team, it is difficult to solve."
The people in a village are not united, and they each seek refuge when they encounter danger.
If they were merged with the refugees from other villages, they might stab them in the back when they were in danger.
Totally not worth the risk.
The two were whispering.
Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice shouting from the group of refugees next to me.
"Hey, hey, hey, look, is that fat guy Su Dahai, Su Xiucai?"
