Although Chen Yi will be severely punished after Yuan Xichen wakes up, Chen Yi doesn't care about it. He feels very guilty because his recklessness has caused others to suffer unexpected disasters.
More importantly, Yu Qingqing's family was the one the prince favored. At least he had never seen his prince be so polite to any woman before.
"Everyone, let's set off now! Just slow down a little!" Chen Yi sat in the front of the carriage and shouted loudly towards the back after he was ready.
The people behind heard it and also tightened their hands on the reins, trying to control the speed of the carriage as much as possible.
When they set off in a mighty procession, there was another scene of flying dust all over the sky.
3:15 PM, near Hukou Town.
Yu Qingqing's family ran as fast as they could, and with everyone supporting each other, they finally got rid of the people behind them.
They happened to be walking behind the team from another village. There were more people here, so even if they were caught up, they would not be easily discovered by those people.
“Dad, Mom, let’s take a break first. We should have gotten rid of those people. There’s no need to worry too much.
We will slowly follow behind the people in front. We shouldn't be discovered, as we are very close to the town.
If that doesn't work, we'll try to find a place in town where there are more people."
Yu Qingqing was so tired that she didn't even want to talk, and her legs felt weak.
But he was still panting and told Yu Qingshu and the others to take a break. They should have gotten rid of those people by now, so it was not so dangerous, so there was no need to rush on.
Yu Qingshu supported Hua Qinglu and slowly walked in front of Yu Qingqing. He had been running so fast just now that even he couldn't stand it, let alone his wife and children.
His frown relaxed slightly, and he tried to force out a smile that he thought was okay. He looked at Yu Qingqing's palm-sized face and said:
"Qing'er, is everything really okay? Did we really get rid of them? It was a close call just now. If they had stopped us, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Fortunately, you said to find a crowded place to run. Now there are so many people around us, I believe they will not be able to find us for a while.
We can just follow behind other villages and avoid a lot of danger."
Yu Qingshu said this with lingering fear, wondering what would happen if he was caught.
I didn't know what to do, but fortunately I had successfully gotten rid of those people. They could just follow others and avoid a lot of danger.
Yu Qinghai was also exhausted and panting, and after he caught his breath a little.
He took out the water bag and drank a sip of water, then handed it directly to Yu Qingmei and Hua Yuanyuan next to him.
"Dad, Mom, I think what Third Sister said is right. Look at the village in front of us. It's not far from us, and they have so many people.
If those people really catch up with us, we can just go to where there are more people, and there will definitely be no problem. For now, let's take a break. We just ran too fast.
Yu Qinghai took a sip of water and felt that his throat, which had been smoking just now, felt much better.
He had a stomachache from running so hard just now. This was probably the fastest he had ever run in his life.
Yu Qingqing and the others are not on the official road now. After walking along this road, they can go around from "Hukou Town" and then get on the official road.
The road here is more difficult to walk on than the previous ones. There are many hills ahead and the road is quite rugged.
"Brother, don't worry, Mom and Dad! It'll be fine. The mountain roads here are quite rugged.
There are also many hillsides and trees next to them, so if things really don't work, we can hide in them.
Now we are following behind other people's villages. As long as we are not too close and are not discovered by them, there will be no problem.
If we walk behind someone else's village, they will think we are from this village and will not try to attack us.
After all, it would be too conspicuous to drive our family away alone, so we were targeted.
And we had nothing, nothing but a few broken clay pots.
When others see that there is nothing to eat, they will stop staring at us. When others go out to find something to eat, we will follow them and find something to eat.
Then we can find a corner and eat there.”
Yu Qingqing blinked her big eyes, then looked around and carefully observed the situation nearby.
I found that the trees here looked greener than the trees over there, and even the grass was not dead as much.
Some of the grass is still green, which means the environment here is much better than before.
"Okay, I'll listen to you today. Dad will remember that. Then later, when others go looking for food, we'll follow them and look for something to eat.
Then when it gets a little later, we can get some food so that we won’t be targeted.
Then let's walk slowly and follow the others. Don't leave too far behind, or we won't be able to catch up."
Yu Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief. He had been running too fast just now and his throat was sore. Now, after drinking some water, the pain was almost gone.
His legs were still a little sore and weak, but there was no problem in continuing to walk. He continued to hold onto Hua Qinglu and began to walk forward.
Hua Yuanyuan and Yu Qingmei didn't say anything after hearing this. They had just rested for a while and now they had recovered. So they supported each other and walked forward.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Yu Qingqing finally saw the town entrance with the three big words "Hukou Town" on it.
There are fewer people entering and leaving the town now, and there are only two soldiers guarding the town gate.
"Dad, look, that's the gate to Hukou Town. We're already there. Do you think we should go into the town or take a detour?"
Yu Qingqing still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, and if there was a chance, she still wanted to go to the town to take a look.
After all, there must be a lot of things in the town, and you might find what you want right away.
But they were in a hurry and time was precious, so they felt particularly conflicted.
"Qing'er, why don't we just not go to town? We're out of danger now. We've already wasted quite a bit of time, so we should hurry on.
How about we go there again when we come across the next town later?"
Yu Qingshu scratched his head. Since his daughter asked like this, she must want to go.
But he still thought about it carefully for a long time. After all, hurrying on his journey was important, so he said this.
