Xiao Lingling moved very quickly. Without waiting for anyone to react, she jumped off the carriage and ran straight to the hillside where Jinbei and the others were.
Zhao, who was about to get in the car, was so scared when she saw this scene that she wanted to shout but covered her mouth in time and quickly chased after him.
Little Bell did not run out rashly, but squatted down at the edge of the hillside, quietly looking at the south side of the path.
Zhao caught up with her and patted her small butt gently with her big hand. "You scared me to death, girl. What are you doing here for no reason? Everything is packed, we are ready to leave now."
Little Bell shook her head, made a hush gesture, and then pointed to the south, "Grandma, there are a lot of people coming over there."
Zhao was a little confused. "That's impossible! People are fleeing south now, so why would anyone run north? Did you hear wrong?"
Little Bell didn't even need to answer. Almost as soon as she finished speaking, a slight vibration began to come from the ground, and there was actually a sound coming from the south.
Zhao quickly waved to the people behind who were preparing to get on the bus and signaled them to be quiet.
Everyone held their breath and looked carefully to the south. After a while, a large group of figures appeared from afar. They were all wearing armor and riding tall horses at a very fast speed.
The team was getting closer and closer. Zhao quickly pulled the little bell and bent down, revealing her eyes. She watched with her own eyes as hundreds of teams ran past them.
Xiao Lingling watched very seriously. There were several people in the team wearing armor with gold edges, which looked very rich.
However, because the speed was so fast, Xiao Lingling only had time to take a quick look. It was a man who looked about the same age as her father, with a serious look on his face.
It was not until the soldiers had rushed past for a while that Zhao came to her senses and sat down on the hillside holding the little bell.
"Oh my God, this can't be the general sent by the court? Why is it a man?"
Lin Feng, who had quietly approached from behind, frowned, "Mom, did you see clearly? The general in the past was a man?"
Zhao glared at him. "I'm not presbyopic yet. How can I not tell the difference between a man and a woman?"
Lin Feng sighed, "Mom, that's not what I meant. I'm just curious. It was clearly General Chu's before, why did he suddenly change this time?"
Zhao shook her head. "Who knows? Don't overthink it for now. These people just left, so no one will dare to come over for a while. Hurry up, everyone get in the car, we're leaving now."
After saying that, he stood up and walked back with Xiao Lingling in his arms, but Xiao Lingling kept looking in the direction the team left for a long time.
If she saw correctly, there was a particularly dense black aura above the general's head, as dark as ink. This meant that he must have had extremely strong karma on his hands, and he would probably be plagued by bad luck from now on.
She wasn't worried about the general, she was just a little curious.
Because generally speaking, such extremely strong karma comes from those who are lucky or extraordinary. Who is so unlucky to suffer from his evil hands?
She was really curious, but everyone had gone far away, so she could only obey and prepare to follow her grandmother into the carriage.
In order to intimidate other refugees who might be encountered, Xiao Lingling quietly took away Jinbei's wolf pack and let Jinbei sit on the last donkey cart.
Jin Bei was quite happy, but the donkey was frightened so much that its four legs were trembling, and it took a long time for it to adapt.
So after two or three days of stagnation, the convoy finally got on the road again.
In order to catch up with the progress, this time the speed was several points faster than before, and there was no stopping in the middle.
However, although people do not feel tired when traveling in a carriage, horses and donkeys also need to rest and eat.
So after traveling for more than two hours, they stopped for half an hour to let the horse carriage and donkey cart eat some wild grass.
Just because there is no water, most of the grass here is dry and yellow.
Sun brought down some pancakes. "Come, everyone, have something to eat. One pancake per person. Let's wait until tonight to cook. I think water is hard to find, so it's better to save it."
Xiao Lingling had been rocked by the carriage for the whole morning and her stomach was empty. She picked up the pancake and stuffed it into her mouth. While eating, she also gave one to Qiaomei.
"Sister Qiaomei, here, eat quickly."
Qiaomei was a little embarrassed to answer the phone and turned to look at her brother beside her.
Chen Shuxu knew what his younger sister was worried about, so he stepped forward and broke the pancake into two halves.
"Grandma Sun, my sister and I can just eat one. We've been riding in the carriage and haven't exerted much effort, so we're not hungry."
"Well, Grandma Sun, I'm not hungry." Qiaomei shrank behind him a little introvertedly and nodded.
Sun was stunned for a moment. Although she had initially disapproved of taking them with her, she was already taking them. There was no need to worry about the food. After all, she was not a bad person.
However, she was not very good at coaxing people with soft words, so she could only ask for help from Zhao who was filling the water bag with water.
Zhao glanced at her and said, "Eat when you need to. Even though this doesn't require much physical effort, you'll still get hungry. Otherwise, you can just find a place to lie down. There's no need to flee. You're all still young, be careful not to starve yourself."
Although he said that, Chen Shuxu still refused in the end.
After all, this place is different from before, and they can't dig wild vegetables to repay him, so just eat less if possible. He is used to it anyway.
Seeing his determination, Zhao didn't want him to think that she was giving him alms, so she just told him to come back to her when he was hungry.
Chen Shuxu then smiled and took Qiaomei to eat.
Chen Shuxu gave half to Qiaomei and put the remaining half away in a clean handkerchief.
Qiaomei took a bite and asked puzzledly, "Brother, don't you want to eat it?"
"Brother, you're not hungry yet. Qiaomei can eat it. I'll keep it for now. If you're hungry anytime, come find me, okay?"
When Qiaomei heard this, her mouth could no longer be closed. She lowered her head in disappointment and lost her appetite for a while.
Chen Shuxu knew that she was worried about him, so he smiled and pretended not to care at all.
"My dear little sister, I ate a lot last night, so I'm not really hungry yet. I'll eat later. Come, have some biscuits and drink some water."
Qiaomei still kept her head down and said nothing.
Chen Shuxu was about to give her some water when he saw some crystal drops hitting the back of his hand. He was startled and quickly lifted Qiaomei's face gently.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you still crying? Be good, don't cry, brother is here."
Seeing his worried look, Qiaomei's tears fell faster. She choked for a long time and asked, "Brother, do we have no home anymore?"
