After Chen Yi and his companions came down the mountain of Panlong Village, the carriage drove on the official road, which was quite wide, about two meters wide.
Although there is a lot of grass growing on the roadside, it hardly rains now because the weather is getting hotter.
So the grass is basically dead now. The whole scene looks really bleak.
The carriage was relatively stable as it drove along the official road, so Chen Yi and the others didn't have to worry about bumping Yuan Xichen.
After they got on the official road, their speed increased significantly. Yuan Xichen lay in the carriage, and Yuan Yi specially fixed his body to prevent him from being jolted by the high speed.
However, the further away from Panlong Village you go, the more desolate the scenery becomes.
On the way, Yuan Xichen and his companions encountered several waves of refugees, all of whom had haggard faces and tattered clothes.
From time to time, there would be a woman holding a child, kneeling on the ground begging, and the child in her arms looked like she was dying.
The fleeing teams were also very long, and it seemed as if there was no end in sight.
Those who fled saw Yuan Xichen and his men riding tall horses and holding shining swords in their hands.
Although they were envious of the things on the carriages, they were eventually scared away by the big sword. No one dared to get close, and even those people consciously stayed away.
Since Chen Yi's carriage was driving fast, they soon passed the refugees and disappeared from their sight.
Three quarters past the hour of Mao, inside Panlong Village.
Village chief He Qiang in Panlong Village saw that everyone had almost packed up and prepared to set off.
But he first stood in a slightly higher place, then coughed lightly a few times, signaling those people to be quiet.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I'll say a few words first! We'll set off later!"
We need to speed up! As you all know, we've been procrastinating a lot lately.
Now while it’s still early, let’s all walk faster, otherwise we won’t be able to bear the heat later.
If the child can't walk, the adult can carry them. Also, remember to drink your water sparingly; don't drink up all the water you've worked so hard to find.
You can't drink it yourself, so you have to be responsible for it and don't worry about other people's. I'm telling you this in advance, if you do something weird again later.
Either you leave the village on your own, or I will leave you alone. You can handle it yourself.
Also, it's probably chaotic outside, so I'll find people to patrol and provide protection, including women, children, and the elderly.
You all walk at the innermost part of the team, and the men walk outside with weapons to guard against those people."
Village Chief He Qiang began to lecture them. What they had recently experienced had made him think a lot. Most people nowadays are selfish and only care about themselves.
Yu Qingshu and his family are such kind people, but they are not tolerated by these people, so there is no reason for me to care about them.
"Got it, Village Chief! We'll walk faster and drink our own water sparingly instead of worrying about other people's water.
Don't worry! Let's walk faster and try to get there as soon as possible."
A tall man in the crowd took the lead in answering the words of the village chief He Qiang.
He also felt that what the village chief said was right. It was already very good to have someone to lead the team.
Some people are still looking for trouble, it seems they won't have a good life.
Soon, people from Shuihe Village walked forward in groups of three or four in an orderly manner.
Now everyone has food in their hands after this robbery incident.
They also held on to the food bags tightly, not letting them out of their sight.
Not far from the people in Heshui Village, Yu Qingshu and his family were resting at the foot of the mountain.
"Xiao Hai, are you sure you didn't see it wrong? There's a large group of refugees heading in the same direction as us.
We have to go around this road to avoid it, right?"
Yu Qingshu leaned against the side of the carriage and looked at Yu Qinghai who was sitting on a stone.
"Yes, Dad! We are a family, and we still have one carriage.
It's easy to be targeted, so it's better to take a detour to avoid them. As long as we avoid this group of refugees, our journey later will be much easier.
Look at the map. It takes about an hour to walk southwest from the foot of the mountain. There's another way that just avoids them."
Yu Qinghai was holding a small stone in his hand, with a worried look on his face, which made Yu Qingshu frown uncontrollably.
"If there's really no other way, then we'll just have to take a detour. Otherwise, it'll be very dangerous if someone spots us.
Even if the carriage runs fast, it won’t work if there are too many people on it.”
Yu Qingshu walked past the carriage and patted Yu Qinghai on the shoulder.
"Dad, let's get some rest and take a detour! The sooner we get there, the sooner my sister can recover."
What if I keep sleeping and can’t wake up later?
Yu Qinghai thought of his soft and sweet little sister, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Okay! Come! Drink some water! Later, the two of us will drive the carriage faster.
I'll give the horse some grass and water first so it's full. It can run faster and we can get there earlier."
Yu Qingshu went to get some grass and water, preparing to feed the horse.
Looking at the tall and strong horse in front of him, Yu Qing still couldn't believe that this was his own horse.
After a while, no one knew what happened, but Hua Qinglu in the carriage suddenly lifted the curtain and showed his head out.
"Xiao Hai! Xiao Hai! Husband! Come and see, Qing'er's hands are moving. Do you think she is waking up?"
Hua Qinglu's voice was filled with joy, his hands trembling slightly, and he went to Yu Qingshu and Yu Qinghai to confirm whether he had seen it wrong.
Although she had already looked for Hua Yuanyuan and Yu Qingmei inside and confirmed several times.
"Madam! Is that so? You are not seeing things! Did her hand really move? Let me see."
Yu Qingshu rushed into the carriage like a gust of wind.
His quick movements scared the people inside.
"Sister, did you really move your hands? Mom and sister, did you see it right? That's great. I guess you're waking up."
Yu Qinghai followed closely behind, and the two gentlemen's actions were exactly the same.
Yu Qinghai's worried face just now was now completely dispelled by the news that his sister was about to wake up.
As long as my sister wakes up, everything will be fine. Their family will definitely get better and better, and they will find grandpa and grandma in the end.
"Qing'er! Qing'er." Hua Qinglu called out to Yu Qingqing anxiously. In a certain time and space, Yu Qingqing's soul was still floating.
