Xia Manni glanced at the guard because of the address of Miss Liu.
Because the guard always followed Miss Liu, Xia Manni did not take a close look at him.
She looked at him because Erwa called him Brother Mu, and Miss Liu called him Mu Tou.
There's no way around it, gossip is human nature.
I saw that Brother Mu, although he was not fair, he was very handsome, tall and strong, giving people a sense of security.
With his looks and manners, how could he become a bodyguard for a young lady?
At this time, Xia Manni didn't know that this was entirely caused by her limited cognition.
"Yan'er, don't be anxious..."
"Call me Miss."
Brother Mu could only smile and say, "Okay, Miss. I heard that a lot of people came from behind, and there were too many people and too few things here, so they started looting."
"Who's coming?"
"Of course it's the other people who are fleeing famine. I also heard that..."
Brother Mu didn't continue speaking, but looked at Xia Manni who was watching them talking with her arms folded.
This was the first time this person looked at him blankly, and he felt that the look was embarrassing.
"It's okay, just talk, she can listen."
Brother Mu:?
It really is his Miao Yan...
Brother Mu continued, "I heard that there's no water left in the nearby villages. Everyone with legs and feet has fled. The court has also issued an edict allowing people to flee north. You'll have to register when you get there."
I don’t know if it was Xia Manni’s illusion, but she always felt that the last sentence was said to their family.
"besides……"
Having said that, Brother Mu did not continue.
"Mother, I also heard that the princes are going to fight."
"What?"
The first person to lose composure was Miss Liu.
She looked at Mu Mu and motioned for him to speak.
Brother Mu did not hide it, but said vaguely: "It's just that the Third Prince in the county said he wants to recruit soldiers..."
"Is this the county town where Shizai Village is located?"
Xia Manni's voice was a little abrupt, and Brother Mu was a little surprised. How did she know?
“I saw it in the county town.”
She remembered the unfamiliar officers and soldiers she had seen in the county town before.
Brother Mu nodded and said, "That should be the case. Those people have been talking about the village for ten years."
"Mom, I haven't seen anyone from Shizai Village."
As if sensing Xia Manni's thoughts, Da Wa spoke quickly.
"Mom, are Ergouzi and the others coming?"
Xia Manni shook her head and said, "Mom is not sure. Judging from the time, if they had set off immediately, they should have arrived soon."
Everything now shows that hiding in the mountains is really not a good idea.
The unexpected happened so quickly that a lunch meal for hundreds of people at the foot of the mountain created a tense atmosphere.
Supplies will only become less and less, and conflicts will escalate.
Xia Manni thought about it and started to give instructions to the children.
"We have enough food. If you encounter someone snatching food, don't get involved. We should look for food when there are fewer people around."
Xia Manni's voice was not loud, but the three people from the Liu family heard it clearly.
Liu Miaoyan was stunned by these words, and then she understood.
"Miss, let's not move around."
Liu Miaoyan nodded, although she didn't know what would happen.
But she couldn't help but think of the people who asked her for food that day.
"wood……"
"Don't be afraid."
Xia Manni ignored the three people because she felt that something was going to happen here.
The food they had could last them a month if they lived frugally. When it was gone, they would find a place to make pancakes with the remaining flour.
At least you won't starve to death.
But without fresh wild vegetables and fruits, it always tastes a bit bitter.
However, as the number of people increases and the environment becomes increasingly harsh, more and more people will probably compete for it.
If things go wrong, someone might die.
Several children nodded obediently, and the second child was taken aside by the eldest child and given careful instructions.
From time to time, screams were heard from the woods.
Of course, there were also women's cries for help.
At this time, Liu Miaoyan could no longer sit still.
"Miss, you just promised me that we should not move."
"But, they are so pitiful..."
Miss Liu started crying as she spoke.
Brother Mu next to her silently took out a handkerchief and wiped Miss Liu's tears.
"Mu Tou, I want to save..."
Brother Mu didn't say anything. From Xia Manni's perspective, he seemed to be struggling.
Xia Manni closed her eyes. Among these three people, there was only one normal person.
"You stay here, I'll go take a look myself."
Finally, Brother Mu seemed to have made up his mind to go and take a look.
"No, I'll go with you."
In the end, Xiaohong and Brother Mu were unable to persuade Miss Liu, and the three of them went to the mountain together.
"mother……"
Big Baby pulled Xia Manni, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"Ignore them, they're crazy."
This is simply too crazy. I don’t even know who to save or why I should go.
Although Xia Manni was a little uneasy when she heard the screams of those women.
But she has four children, and she can't beat so many people.
Besides, what if we save tomorrow today?
How can we save this chaotic world?
Everyone has their own destiny.
"Everyone has their own destiny. We don't interfere in other people's affairs."
Erwa opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped himself.
"Erwa, you must think about three things before you do anything."
Xia Manni noticed Erwa's expression and said seriously.
Sanwa: "Mom, what three things?"
"The first thing is to think about your own strength level and how many people you can beat."
"The second thing is to think about your mother and your brothers and sisters."
"Third thing, think about what would happen to us if something happened to you?"
Chivalry is certainly important, but chivalry that overestimates one's own abilities is extremely undesirable.
"Erwa, do you understand?"
The eldest boy patted the second boy's shoulder and asked him.
"Mom, big brother. I understand."
At this time, Erwa's feet, which had been moving non-stop, finally stopped.
"Don't think, don't listen, don't look."
Xia Manni looked at the four children and continued, "These will be the norm on the road from now on. We have to get used to it. Eat, sleep after a full meal, and walk more at night."
The sun might set later than yesterday, so we have to rest here for a while longer.
Traveling at night is probably the best option.
The four children obediently set up their bowls. At noon they ate dried wild vegetables from home, as well as pancakes and flatbreads.
But it's a bit hard to swallow.
After all, the screams around were too loud.
The screams in the forest did not stop until the Xia family finished their meal and began to rest.
But no one has ever returned from the Liu family next to the Xia family.
Xia Manni couldn't help but smile bitterly, wondering when the young lady would understand the dangers of the world.
Xia Manni observed that people were coming out of the mountains one after another.
Everyone had injuries on their bodies.
