Su Yunhai took a sip of tea and said solemnly, "There is a wealthy man named Zhang Shiwen in the village. He had been doing business in the northern border before, and this time he brought back important news."
"Just like you said, Hanshan Pass has been breached by the Northern Barbarians. After he got the news, he immediately ran back with his family, wanting to tell the village the news and have everyone flee quickly."
"I also took this opportunity to tell the villagers about your return. I hope they can make a decision soon."
They were definitely not the first group to flee the famine.
There is strength in numbers, and that is where deterrence comes from.
Su Yunhai knew this truth very well and never thought that his family could survive on the road to escape famine.
Shen Shuli's eyes lit up when she heard this.
These are not written in the plot.
She had never expected that there would be people in the village rushing back from the border, and she didn't know how many people in the village would be willing to make up their minds to go with them after knowing the situation.
I’m afraid that these villagers will still refuse to leave as the plot has set.
...
...
"So how did they react?"
Su Yunhai shook his head. "The village chief and the elders haven't made a decision yet. They are reluctant to abandon their homes and fields, but Zhang Shiwen's relatives have already decided to go with them."
"I also told them what I thought. I will go with them. They will set out early in the morning in three days. We don't have much time left."
Shen Yuehua thought of something, grabbed Su Yunhai's arm and said, "I want to ask my parents what they think. If possible, I want to persuade them to go together."
Over the years, the Shen family has taken good care of the couple, and Shen Yuehua was worried about leaving them behind.
"That's what I was thinking. You and A'li go back tomorrow, and I'll take the second brother out to buy things. By the way, list all the things you need to buy, and I'll try to buy them all." Su Yunhai arranged.
Shen Shuli has been thinking about the household registration issue, and reminded: "Dad, don't forget that my household registration issue has not been resolved."
"Don't worry, I'll do it tomorrow."
The three brothers who were sitting in the corner facing the wall were confused by their conversation.
The eldest brother, Su Changan, couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Dad, Mom, what do you want to do with the northern barbarians breaking into the city and fleeing southward?"
The couple then remembered that they had not yet told their son and daughter-in-law about fleeing the famine.
Su Yunhai glanced at his eldest son indifferently and told his sons about the war, drought, and refugees.
"Our place will fall soon. We have decided to leave in three days."
Su Changan's eyes turned red with anxiety.
"Dad, her reputation has been rotten in Qingzhou for a long time. How can you listen to her! Besides, little sister Wanwan is going to take us to Qingzhou. She is the eldest daughter of the Lin family. If it is true, she will not tell us?"
"Yes, Dad!" Su Dingan was also fanning the flames. He looked at Shen Shuli provocatively and analyzed everything in a logical manner.
"Dad, I think she is just worried that our whole family will go to Qingzhou to enjoy life without her, and she will have nowhere to go, so she made up such a ridiculous excuse, hoping that my little sister can't contact us! She is really a black heart!"
Su Pingan nodded repeatedly, "Dad, I think my brother and brother are right!"
Su Yunhai glanced at the three brothers and found that what his daughter said was absolutely correct.
These brats are generally quite obedient.
Under normal circumstances, I would never dare to disobey his wishes.
But as long as it has something to do with my daughter, these brats will always sing a different tune.
Su Yunhai moved his shoulders and unbuckled his belt without saying a word.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Before Su Yunhai could pull out his belt, the three brothers ran away, not forgetting to drag their wives and children with them...
Shen Shuli laughed for a long time as she watched the paper figures fleeing in panic.
"Dad, this is the spiritual spring water I left for you, drink it quickly."
Su Yunhai's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had been longing for this drink for eight years and never expected that he would be able to drink it again.
"Hahaha, then I won't be polite."
He had already noticed the changes in his daughter and daughter-in-law.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have accepted it so readily.
"Dad, these are what I got in modern times. You can pick some that are convenient for self-defense." Shen Shuli took out different types of guns and cold weapons from the space.
"Wow, daughter, you can get these?" The couple was shocked when they saw what their daughter placed on the table.
Shen Shuli didn't plan to tell them that she chose to join the army after her parents disappeared and dealt with vicious criminals all day long, so as not to make them feel uncomfortable.
"Hey, I got some self-defense gear from a special channel. Come and pick it out. Mom, you can pick one too."
The couple understood their daughter's intention.
They are about to flee the famine, and my daughter wants them to get used to these weapons as soon as possible so they can protect themselves.
You're welcome.
The two men each chose a pistol that suited them for long-range attacks, which could also be hidden on their bodies.
Su Yunhai also chose a heavier version of the Tang sword.
Shen Shuli took out the corresponding bullets from the space for the two of them to use as backup.
It was already late, so the three of them went to rest.
The next day.
Shen Yuehua took Shen Shuli back to her mother's home, Baishan Village.
It is thirty miles away from Taohua Village.
After leaving the village, seeing that there was no one around, Shen Shuli led a horse out of the space and took her mother straight to Baishan Village.
The brothers Su Changan and Su Dingan didn't believe Su Yunhai's words at all and were unwilling to go out with Su Yunhai.
Su Yunhai could only take his second son with him and drive a mule cart out to buy supplies.
There was not much food left to buy in Qingyun City, so the father and son decided to go to a county town farther away, which would take two or three days.
As soon as I went out, I found that there were a lot of people gathered outside the Su family's door.
Su Yunhai could probably guess the purpose of these people.
"What are you doing here?"
The villagers hurried to explain.
"Da Hai, last night you said you were going to another county to buy food today. Can you take us with you?"
"Yes, no matter whether we go to escape the famine or not, the food at home is almost gone. We can't get any food in Qingyun City..."
"Brother Hai, I have decided to go with you, and I also want to stock up on some food."
"Okay, I'll wait at the entrance of the village. You guys should go back and pull the cart quickly. It's better to bring some weapons for self-defense." Su Yunhai responded with a smile and reminded.
*
The brothers Su Changan and Su Dingan leaned through the crack of the door and looked at the family of three who had already gone far away, feeling secretly resentful.
Su Dingan's cheeks puffed up with anger: "Little sister is right, this fake daughter is a disaster! Before she came, Dad loved us the most. After only one day here, Dad's eyes are full of that newcomer, and he treats the three of us like grass...Brother, don't you have any thoughts?"
"Of course I have an idea... First of all, we must report the situation at home to my younger sister. It would be best if I could ask my younger sister to come back in person and expose the true face of Shen Shuli, the scourge!"
"Secondly, she persuaded Dad to take our whole family away. We must stop her!"
Su Changan pondered and said, "It's just right. While she and Dad are away, we will go door to door in the next few days to tell the whole village about the bad things this scourge has done, and let the villagers persuade our father!"
Su Dingan thought about it and nodded, "Okay, brother, let's act quickly!"
