Chapter 287: Clearing Yanghe Town
Chen Weiming's words shook many people in the Chen family.
They covered their mouths and noses with clothes and talked about the hardships of exile.
"The police didn't take the Chen family seriously at all. They definitely don't care whether we live or die."
"I have to eat black noodles and drink white water every day. I don't want to live this hard life for even one more day!"
“Rather than freezing to death in the future, it’s better to take the risk and escape!”
"Yes, this sandstorm will probably last for a while. As long as we run far enough, the police won't waste time and effort to catch us. The world is so big, we can always find a place to stay."
"That's right. Even if we are unlucky and get buried by the sand, it's better than being frozen to death by the snow."
The Chen family members were talking to each other.
Soon, the number of escapees doubled.
Seeing that most of the family members were willing to escape with him, Chen Weiming's confidence increased.
He slung the bag over his shoulder and picked up his grandson Xun'er.
"The intensity of this sandstorm has weakened a lot. Let's leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to leave when the officials come out of the tent."
After saying that, he followed the wind and walked into the yellow sand.
Members of the Chen family who wanted to escape left one after another.
Less than ten people remained.
After Ye Chutang realized that most of the Chen family had left, he told Qi Yanzhou about it.
Qi Yanzhou smiled and said, "Don't worry about them. The pampered idiots of the Chen family are just daydreaming if they want to use the sandstorm to escape!"
He was sure that this group of people could not run half a mile!
Maybe he will come back soon.
Because although the sandstorm wind blows southward as a whole, it also rotates slightly.
The raging sandstorm lasted for nearly two hours in total.
Then it slowly weakened.
The wind died down and the sound of sand hitting the tent became quieter.
Qi Yanzhou opened the door curtain a little.
The dark yellow sky brightened a little, and the huge poplar tree at the town gate could be vaguely seen.
He looked at the people who were holding up the tent with their hands and said, "Sit down and rest for a while."
After saying that, he looked at Ye Chutang.
"I'm going out to take care of the sand bandits in town."
"Your poison has not been completely cured yet. If you can avoid it, don't do it."
"clear."
After Qi Yanzhou left, Ye Chutang looked outside the tent.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to go out and take a look."
She had to collect the wealth that the sand bandits had amassed over the years.
Return to Xilin's house.
The bodies in the yard had been buried by the sand and dust, leaving only some raised arcs.
If the wind and sand continue for another hour, the arc will be completely filled.
After Ye Chutang emptied out all the valuable things in the house, he went to the cellar.
There was a lot of rice, flour and wine stored in the cellar.
and sweet potatoes, potatoes, onions and scallions for the winter.
After she put the food into the space, she found the hidden stone door behind the wine rack.
The surface of the stone gate was smeared with rice paste and sand to make the gate blend into the earth wall.
If Qi Yanzhou hadn't learned from the sand bandits that there was a secret room in the cellar, it would have been difficult to find.
Ye Chutang used his supernatural power to push open the stone door.
The secret room was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
Ye Chutang took out a flashlight from the space and shone it inside.
The sand bandit’s twelve years of savings almost filled the entire secret room.
Although not every item is valuable, they are worth a fortune when added together.
She emptied out the house without any hesitation and went to the government office.
As an ally of the Sand Bandits, the head of the pavilion received many benefits, most of which were kept in the secret room of the study in the government office.
Ye Chutang went to the study and was very disappointed when he saw the "savings" of the pavilion chief over the years.
These were all left over by Aji and Xilin.
But it's better than nothing, so she put them all into the space.
Then he used space to teleport back to the camp.
When Madam Qi saw Ye Chutang coming back, she felt relieved.
"Atang, the wind and sand are so strong, where have you been? You didn't respond even when I called you."
She had no intention of caring about Ye Chutang, she was just worried about her.
Ye Chutang stepped forward and took Madam Qi's arm, lowering his voice and saying, "I found a sheltered place and went to the toilet."
After saying that, she touched her belly.
"Having twins is really hard. It's only been five months and I'm always craving to go to the toilet."
These words reminded the old lady of the days when she was pregnant.
After seven or eight months, it became really hard. Not only did I feel heavy, but I also had to get up frequently at night.
The torture made her haggard and she was in a bad mood every day.
Thinking of this, she felt even more distressed for Ye Chutang.
"Tang'er, you've suffered so much. When we get to Tianshan County, I'll let Zhou'er compensate you."
When she was pregnant, a group of maids and old women took care of her attentively.
Now, exile is hard, but the daughter-in-law has to bear it on her own.
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Okay."
The sky gradually darkened, but the sandstorm showed no signs of stopping.
Qi Yanzhou and the National Protection Army did not return from the town either.
Aunt Xu asked Ye Chutang, "Madam, I'm afraid I won't be able to cook tonight."
Although there were vegetables and firewood, the space in the tent was limited and there was no way to make a fire and cook.
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Auntie, you don't have to cook tonight. Azhou and the others will bring food back from town."
Whether it is a restaurant, an inn or an ordinary house, there will be food.
Now that the temperature is low, it is no problem to provide them with food for three to five days.
"Madam is really thoughtful."
Just as Aunt Xu finished speaking, there was a noise outside the tent.
As Qi Yanzhou expected, several of the Chen family members who had escaped came back and were caught by Wu Chenggang.
Fugitives can be executed on the spot.
But Wu Chenggang didn't dare to make a decision on his own, so he broke the legs of the Chen family members and waited for Qi Yanzhou to come back before making any decisions.
The screams mixed with the sound of the wind sounded particularly miserable.
Ye Chutang opened the door curtain a little and asked Wu Chenggang who was passing by.
"What's the current situation of the Chen family?"
"A total of 17 people from the Chen family escaped. They all got separated after a while, and then six of them came back. The rest are nowhere to be found."
Wu Chenggang finished speaking and added another sentence.
"The one who came back is a branch of the Chen family."
"Is the Ye family still peaceful?"
"So far, the Ye family is quite peaceful and has no intention of running away."
Ye Jingchuan doesn't have any special abilities, but he can recognize the situation clearly.
He knew very well that he would not be able to survive the sandstorm.
After all, in this desolate Gobi Desert, it is difficult to meet anyone even if you walk for several days.
Without water and food, it is tantamount to suicide!
Ye Chutang nodded, "Master Wu, please go and get busy."
Not long after Wu Chenggang left, it became completely dark.
It was pitch dark and all you could hear was the whistling wind.
Gradually, the wind became quieter.
Qi Yanzhou also returned to the tent covered in blood.
"The town has been cleaned up. Let's pack up and live in the town."
