At this moment, Song Yongren and Song Jianshe appeared at the door, each carrying a large sack. "Lili, are you ready yet?"
Song Lili pulled Song Fang's hand and said, "Alright, let's go." They reached the door, then turned back and took the money from the hole in the wall. "Big Brother, did you take the money?"
Running away from thieves is terrifying.
Song Lili had heard her grandmother talk about their experiences running away from thieves before.
The bandits fled because they had no food in the winter, so they would come out in groups to rob nearby villages for food.
Whether it's food or other necessities, they'll plunder everything they see. If they see a person, they'll either be beaten or killed.
Therefore, everyone is afraid when they hear about thieves running away.
Right now, everyone in Hongqi Village, just like Song Yongren and Song Jianshe, is busy packing up their food and money.
So when Song Lili asked, he immediately said, "I've got it, don't worry. Hurry up and take Fangfang with you, or we won't be able to leave."
Not wanting to delay, Song Lili pulled Song Fang along and tried her best to follow behind the two of them, running towards the main road.
As soon as I stepped outside, I came across Yang Mei's house. Yang Weimin was pulling a cart that was loaded with pots, pans, sacks, and other things.
When he saw Song Yongren, he immediately looked over and saw that the father and son were only carrying a sack each. He immediately said, "Yongren, put them all in my car."
"Is there anything else you haven't taken? Go get it quickly. This trip might last for several days. How will you and the children manage like this?"
Song Yongren also knew that there were only two able-bodied people in the family who could handle the workload, so this was all they could take.
Hearing Yang Weimin's words, he didn't refuse and immediately put the sack he was carrying on top of Yang Weimin's things.
Upon seeing Song Yongren's actions, Song Jianshe immediately followed suit, and together they ran into the house to fetch pots and pans.
When fleeing from thieves, people will take whatever they can carry, as long as there's time.
Otherwise, when you come back, you'll have nothing left, and you'll have to buy everything new, which will just waste money.
Grandma had told Song Lili all of this and knew how serious it was. She handed Song Fang over to Yang Mei to lead, and then ran into the house with her.
Song Yongren went to the kitchen and brought out the only pot in the house. Song Jianshe took the bowls, chopsticks, spoons, and the last two or three bowls of flour, and went to the room to carry the bedding.
Song Lili didn't go to the kitchen. Instead, she went to Song Yongren's room, took out all their clothes, and even the stool with the movable leg. She then took out her own and Song Fang's clothes as well.
Song Yongren ran to the door and saw Song Lili. He was both anxious and angry. "Lili, come out quickly. You don't need those things anymore."
I'm just worried that my daughter won't be willing to part with anything, and that it will waste time.
Song Lili shouted, "Coming, coming!" Then, carrying her things, she immediately followed behind Song Yongren.
She knew that the best thing to do right now was to stay close to Song Yongren and not let her worry.
Although she could actually handle these things and wouldn't lose herself, Song Yongren was still worried.
So all she could do was not let them worry.
Song Yongren put the pot on Yang Weimin's cart, then quickly turned around and took the things from Song Lili's arms, placing them on the cart as well.
At this moment, he couldn't bother to educate Song Lili or let her know that this was far too dangerous.
The most important thing now is to get out of here as soon as possible and head into the mountains, the farther the better.
Along the way, they saw many people like them, some pushing carts, some carrying things on their backs, and families walking towards the mountains.
Many people carried torches, and women, holding children's hands and carrying bedding and other items, jogged alongside their men.
Song Lili held tightly to Song Fang, following closely behind Song Yongren who was pushing the cart, so that he could see her without turning his head.
After running for a while, Song Lili suddenly stopped, her face turning ashen. She remembered that her cabbages were still in the field.
Damn it, if I had known these bandits were coming, I would have sold them to Wang Daming earlier; at least I could have gotten a few dollars.
Now look what's happened. After this trip, I guess there won't be anything left.
Song Fang was tugged by Song Lili and immediately asked in a panic, "Sister, what's wrong?"
She was timid to begin with, and now she was like a frightened bird, easily startled by the slightest noise.
Song Lili's behavior naturally frightened her.
Seeing the fear in her sister's eyes, Song Lili quickly comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, I just twisted my ankle."
But inside, I felt like I wanted to explode.
