Most of the people passing by the banyan tree were dressed in rags and were extremely skinny. It was obvious that they were starving and had no food to eat.
They saw Yu Qingqing and her family sitting by a fire. Although they were also very thin, they had food to eat.
Those people immediately had some ideas in their minds, but they did not dare to step forward rashly for the time being.
Yu Qingqing had just finished the last bite of her pancake when she turned around and noticed a group of people not far from the banyan tree, staring at her family. She immediately felt something was amiss.
She quickly collected the uneaten biscuits from others and quietly threw them into the space.
"Dad, Mom, something's wrong! We can't eat anymore.
Look, those people next to us are staring at us. When we go on the road later, we must pay attention to those people.
Keep a distance from them, and if you encounter them, don't panic. When we leave later, find a stick to hold.
Yu Qingqing finished her words quickly, then extinguished the unburned fire directly by using a stick to spread it out.
"Qing'er, don't worry! Daddy is here, don't be afraid.
"Wait a minute, you two can go ahead and we'll follow behind. It's fine. We can't stay here for long. Let's leave right away."
After hearing what Yu Qingqing said, Yu Qingshu turned around and looked back, and found that there were more than ten people not far away.
He was looking at them there, as if he wanted to go forward but didn't want to.
Yu Qingshu was also worried that those people would rush up directly, so he quickly asked his wife and children to leave here.
"Husband, there won't be any problem, I see those people are still there and won't leave.
It feels like they are watching us, nothing will happen, right?"
Hua Qinglu was frightened by what Yu Qingshu and Yu Qingqing said. She didn't dare to look back, for she was really afraid that they would rush over.
She kept thinking, if it really came, what should she do? She was a little scared.
"Mom, it's okay, don't be afraid! Nothing will happen! Those people won't come up. Let's listen to Dad and go first. Don't worry, we can just walk normally."
Yu Qingmei, with a hint of fear in her voice, gently comforted Hua Qinglu.
Although she was also very scared in her heart, she couldn't show it, otherwise Hua Qinglu would be even more scared.
"Mom, sister, hurry up! Dad and I will walk behind you. Don't worry, those people won't rush over.
We have nothing in our hands right now, not even food. Even if they saw it, they wouldn’t be able to tell what’s there.”
Yu Qinghai saw the worry in his mother and sister's eyes and began to comfort them.
He made up his mind that he would protect his family at all costs and would never let them come to harm.
Besides, they didn't have anything in their hands, and those people couldn't see anything, so they probably wouldn't rush up rashly.
Yu Qinghai was right. When the group of people looked at Yu Qingqing, they realized that none of their family had anything in their hands.
I stopped thinking about them and they started walking forward again.
Yu Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that those people had left.
It was really dangerous just now. If they continued eating, it would definitely attract those people to snatch them away.
Neither Xiaohai nor I can protect our family.
It seems that I really need to be careful in the future and not eat casually.
"Dad, since those people have left, let's go too.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. It is better to leave early and go to more crowded places in the town.
We are being randomly targeted, so let’s go over there and see what happens.
We don’t know what the situation is in the town, and as refugees, we don’t know whether the town will let us in.
It doesn’t matter if I can’t get in, there’s no rush to get what I want, I’ll figure it out later.”
Yu Qingqing saw those people leaving, and then she also felt that they should leave earlier.
When she saw Hua Qinglu's worried expression just now, she felt very anxious as well.
Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.
Soon the fire next to the banyan tree was almost extinguished.
Yu Qingshu checked the fire and found that there was no spark left before setting off.
After all, the weather is so hot now. If you leave any fire, everywhere will become a sea of fire if you are not careful.
They will be the ones in danger then, so it is better to be cautious.
Yu Qingqing and his family began their busy life on the road. Fortunately, it was still early and not too hot, so they could walk faster.
Wait until the weather gets too hot and then take a rest. The road here is still relatively easy to walk on now.
Although the road surface has some potholes, it is still clean and walking is not difficult.
"Qing'er, the thing you just mentioned requires something to grind wheat. Dad, can you try to make one?
I think we should not go to the town. I looked at the map and it seems that going through the town is a bit too far.
We will walk longer, now we can save time.
Let's save time and not go there, is that okay with you? Dad, I'll make one for you later."
Yu Qingshu told Yu Qingqing about his thoughts.
He looked at the map and realized that if he went around the town, it would waste time.
After all, after what happened just now, he felt that he could be on the road. If he spent less time, he would use less. There was no need to be so anxious.
"I see, Dad. I'm not in a rush to use it. I'll find a way later. Any tool that can grind it into powder will do.
We can grind it at night, and then we will have wheat bread to eat.
Mainly because I often eat these brown rice cakes, I feel like my digestion is not good at all."
Yu Qingqing expressed her understanding of Yu Qingshu's thoughts, and she was indeed not in a hurry at the moment.
"Okay, I got it! Then Dad, please keep an eye on the back. If I find something suitable, I will take a look and try to see if I can make it. Don't worry."
When Yu Qingshu heard Yu Qingqing's words, he smiled innocently and continued walking forward.
Not far from them, there was a carriage parked on the side of the road.
The carriage was quite small, with only one driver on board. The carriage looked old and shabby.
Such a carriage probably won't attract the jealousy of others, so it can stay here safely.
Yu Qingshu and the others saw the carriage and were about to go around it. But before he could do so, a familiar voice came from above.
"Yu Qingshu, is it really you? You're actually here too. Are you guys going to Dongyu as well?
We have a carriage. Would you like to come with us? Are you walking? How long would that take?"
This person was none other than Yu Qingshu's elder brother Yu Qingshan, who was 38 years old this year and used to be from the provincial capital.
