Lin Feng was stunned. Was it breached? What happened?
After asking carefully, he found out that there were bandits mixed in with the refugees. The people who were unaware of the truth were instigated to go in and seek a way to survive. They piled up dry grass and burned the wall. The guards on the wall were smoked and could not stand, and they also burned down the gate.
There were many casualties. The brave refugees rushed in, stealing food and clothes. Even the castle lord was killed. Now the place has become the territory of bandits.
"It is said that the food stored there is almost piled up into a mountain. I am so envious." A commoner said to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng asked him curiously: "Then why don't you go and rob?"
The commoner shook his head, not hiding his weakness: "I can't be so cruel, and I'm a little scared. I've been honest for half my life and have never done anything like robbery."
Lin Feng nodded. He had the same personality. Unless his family members were in danger of dying, he would never do such looting. He would feel guilty about it because it involved killing people. There were many old, weak, women and children in the castle.
The family quickened their pace, wanting to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
"Wa wah wah!" As the family was on their way, they suddenly heard crying sounds coming from the grass by the roadside.
Little sister Lin Ling's legs were so fast that she ran into the bushes before her mother could call her. The family had no choice but to quickly follow her.
When I went in, I saw that my little sister was squatting on the ground, staring at a baby in a cradle, and next to the baby, there was a woman lying down.
The woman's neck was covered in blood, as if it had been bitten off by something, and not far from her, there was half a male corpse, with the lower half missing.
"Oh my god! Did we encounter a wild beast?" Father Lin sighed.
People need to eat, and so do beasts. Judging from the dried blood, the man must have been bitten to death by a wild beast last night.
The baby in the cradle was crying non-stop, and its two little hands were scratching everywhere. I guess it was hungry.
"I'm so lucky." Lin Feng couldn't help but say.
Lin Feng picked up the child from the ground. Strangely, the child stopped crying as soon as he was in Lin Feng's arms. He looked at Lin Feng curiously, and his little hands kept moving.
"Oh! This child is so good!" Lin's mother and Yang Jingyi also came over to take a look, then opened the swaddling clothes and saw that it was a boy.
"Why don't we take this child away!" Yang Jingyi was a pregnant woman, and her maternal love was overflowing at this moment. Looking at this well-behaved and cute little baby, she couldn't help but think of her own child who would be born in a few months.
Everyone looked at Father Lin, because he was the head of the family and no one could act recklessly without his approval.
Father Lin looked at the little baby, then at the baby's deceased relatives, sighed again, and said, "Since you have a connection with this child, take him away! He is very lucky."
He wasn't bitten to death by wild beasts, nor was he frozen or starved to death by the cold and damp night. It was truly a fortunate fate!
Lin Feng chuckled. The boy was very well behaved in his arms, and he was giggling at him just now. He also liked this child very much.
Next, Lin's father and Lin Feng took action to bury the remains of the couple. It was not appropriate to leave the bodies exposed in the wilderness, so they also made a mark so that the little kid could come and pay homage to them when he grew up.
Before the burial, they searched their bodies and the packages they carried. Apart from some loose money and a few black rice cakes, there was only one envelope.
Lin Feng opened it and took a look.
The letter read: "An'er, after hearing about the famine and war in my hometown, my second uncle was very worried and couldn't sleep all night. If possible, bring your wife and children to live with me. Your parents have passed away, so there is nothing to worry about there. My second uncle has no children here either, and I have always treated you as my own. I hope that the land of King Qi has good weather and no war. My second uncle also has more than ten acres of land, and the harvest is good. After you bring your family here, my second uncle will give it all to you. It will be enough for our family to live on..."
His home address was clearly written at the back of the letter. The couple was going to live with his second uncle, but unexpectedly an accident happened on the way.
Lin Feng packed the letter paper and looked at the little baby. "Don't worry, we'll send you to your second grandfather's house after we settle down."
This little baby has relatives, so they can't take him for themselves. Besides, this is the only child in this family.
They found a secluded place, and then Lin Feng took out some goat milk from the space tower. The baby was very hungry and drank a lot. His swaddling clothes seemed a little wet, but this was not a problem. Yang Jingyi's package also contained small clothes and swaddling clothes prepared for her unborn child, so he just changed the baby into them.
After the baby had eaten, he changed into dry clothes and fell asleep soon after.
It was still early, so everyone started on their journey again.
Lin's mother has experience in taking care of children, so she is responsible for taking care of the baby.
"Lin Feng, do you feel that there are more and more people on the road? There are a lot more than before, and they look very anxious." Yang Jingyi said to Lin Feng.
"Yeah! I noticed it too, but I'm not sure why." Lin Feng replied.
At noon, when the family was sitting under the shade of a tree to rest, Lin's father went to inquire with those who were on the road.
After a while, Father Lin hurried back to his family and said, "Let's go! I heard from the people who came later that they encountered a swarm of black bees."
Lin Feng was stunned. This black bee is poisonous. If the toxin cannot be squeezed out after being stung, the person will die within a day. However, this kind of poison is only found in the northern barbarians and is rare in this inland area. Why would there be a swarm of black bees here?
"Let's go, let's get out of here quickly." Lin Feng immediately stood up and carried Yang Jingyi on his back. The others also stood up quickly.
No wonder no one is resting, it turns out they are afraid of being chased by a swarm of black bees!
Everyone quickened their pace again. This was no joke. One black bee was enough to give people a headache, let alone a swarm of black bees!
Lin Feng didn't feel tired, he walked very fast. Lin's father and others also had improved physical fitness after drinking the prepared spiritual spring water, so they could barely keep up with the speed.
"Huh? Why are there so many people?" Lin Feng saw a dense crowd in front of him. They were crowded together, looking ahead constantly, and no one knew what they were doing.
Seeing an old man resting on the side of the road, Lin Feng walked over and asked curiously, "Uncle, what are all these people doing?"
The old man looked up at Lin Feng and said with a somewhat depressed expression: "The bridge has collapsed, and no one can get across."
"The bridge collapsed?"
Lin Feng had never been here and didn't know there was a river here.
Father Lin also hurried over to check.
