"Let's go, this is not the place to talk."
Ji Liangchuan took over the cart from Lin Jiuyue.
"Let me do it."
Lin Jiuyue didn't hesitate and handed the cart to Ji Liangchuan.
After the three of them walked for a while and got away from the crowd, Lin Qiye finally couldn't help it.
"Sister, why buy so many things?"
Ji Liangchuan, who was following beside him, was also a little curious.
I know how much money I have spent, and it is impossible to buy so many things.
It is impossible for Lin Jiuyue and her brother to have so much silver on them.
Lin Jiuyue said "hmm".
"Well, I met a kind man in town who gave me some silver. I've spent it all."
Lin Qiye: ...
Ji Liangchuan:......
Are you trying to fool a three-year-old?
Although Ji Liangchuan didn't believe it, he didn't ask any more questions.
As for Lin Qiye, he had long guessed that Lin Jiuyue must have sold something.
There were not many people around, so Lin Jiuyue gave the remaining two daggers to Lin Qiye and Ji Liangchuan.
"Take this, it might be useful on the road."
Ji Liangchuan didn't hesitate and put the dagger into his arms.
Lin Qiye turned the dagger over and over and looked at it, liking it very much.
"In order to avoid causing trouble, when we go back later, we will say that these things were bought with Brother Ji's money."
Ji Liangchuan didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
The fleeing team only rested for a short while before setting off again. Lin Jiuyue was delayed for some time in the city, and now he could only barely see the tail end of the team.
After chasing for a long time, they finally caught up with the village chief and others.
"September girl, have you heard any useful information?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled awkwardly.
"Village Chief, the news is the same as we heard before. However, I heard that the harvest in Jingyang County is not very good, and some wealthy families are already planning to go to the capital."
The village chief frowned and analyzed the matter over and over again in his mind.
Rich families have money, so it is definitely not difficult for them to go to Beijing.
But now there are so many refugees fleeing famine, and who knows what might happen along the way.
If this happened to me, I definitely wouldn't choose to leave at this moment. Those wealthy people were smart enough to make so much money. The interests involved must be more thoroughly analyzed than I could make them.
After weighing the pros and cons, they chose to go to Beijing. This was probably not just because of the poor harvest.
The village chief walked in front with a heavy heart.
I had guessed long ago that this trip to Beijing would not be easy, but I didn't expect that things would become complicated after just a few days.
Lin Jiuyue also thought of this, but said nothing.
We still don't know what caused the wealthy families in Jingyang County to collectively sell their property and go to Beijing. It's not easy to say it out loud, so as not to cause panic among the refugees. If something happens then, it would be terrible.
"Sister, are the wealthy families in the city really planning to go to the capital?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded imperceptibly.
"If it's just a poor harvest, it would be easy for those wealthy families to survive these two years..."
Lin Jiuyue’s words were not very clear, but both of them understood what Lin Jiuyue meant.
"Sis, if that's the case, why don't we take the mountain road? There are too many people on the official road. If the rich people catch up with us, the disaster victims who have no food will definitely have bad intentions. I'm afraid this journey will not be peaceful."
Lin Jiuyue frowned and turned to look at Ji Liangchuan.
Ji Liangchuan was seen pushing the cart with his head down, a calm look on his face.
"Brother Ji, what do you think?"
When Ji Liangchuan saw Lin Jiuyue asking him, he frowned and pursed his lips.
It took a long while before he spoke.
"Although the mountain roads are less traveled, there are wild animals in the mountains, and maybe even bandits. It's just as dangerous."
Lin Jiuyue knew this very well.
"However, we can always find something to eat while walking along the mountain road, so we won't starve to death."
Lin Jiuyue was not worried about food. Although the area of her space was not large, the food she grew was enough for the three of them to eat in their lifetime.
Besides the bandits and wild beasts. After drinking the spiritual spring water, I can kill a wild boar with one punch if I am strong enough. As long as I am not surrounded, there will be no problem.
The same goes for my younger brother.
Ji Liangchuan himself was a hunter before, so he was not a drag. Among the three people in this group, none of them were easy to deal with.
Although the three of them were walking in a group, they were always at the edge of the woods, so they could sit down and rest when they got tired.
Lin Jiuyue stopped and stood by the roadside.
"Brother Ji, how about we try the mountain road? If that doesn't work, we can retreat. Anyway, the three of us are traveling light. We're not afraid of not catching up with them."
Lin Qiye didn't have any objections. She just followed her sister.
Ji Liangchuan thought for a moment and agreed.
The three of them reached a consensus and walked quietly into the woods. The refugees around them were no longer surprised.
The fleeing victims would enter the woods from time to time. Some went to relieve themselves, some went to find food or water. There were many people like Lin Jiuyue and his friends who entered the woods halfway.
The village chief had been observing the situation of Lin Jiuyue and the other two. When he saw that Lin Jiuyue and the other two had abandoned the official road and taken the mountain road instead, his brows unconsciously frowned.
Could it be that this girl Jiu Yue has noticed something?
Thinking of this, the village chief could no longer move forward.
The sharp-eyed fellow villager asked in a low voice when he saw that the village chief did not move.
"Village Chief, what's wrong?"
The village chief sighed imperceptibly.
"I secretly gathered all the villagers together and told them I had something to discuss with them."
Seeing the village chief's expression, the villagers who had spoken did not dare to delay any longer. They quickly joined the group of people fleeing famine and whispered to each one.
The villagers who got the news slowly approached the village chief. When most of the villagers had come, the village chief found an excuse to rest in the woods by the roadside.
The people in the fleeing team couldn't help but secretly despise them when they saw that the people in Lijia Village were still in the mood to rest at this time.
"Is everyone here?"
"Village Chief, everyone from our Lijia Village is here. Please tell me what you want to say."
The village chief looked up at the mountain.
"well……"
"Village Chief, has something happened? Please tell us. We are all panicking."
The village chief knew that sighing was useless now, so he repeated his guess.
"I was thinking of taking the mountain road. What do you think?"
When the villagers heard what the village chief said, they were immediately furious.
"Village chief, the mountain roads are not easy to walk on. There are wild animals in the mountains, and there might even be bandits. We are just honest farmers. If we encounter them, we will be dead."
The village chief frowned.
How could I not know these things? But September changed her route after going to the city. She must have noticed something was wrong. Following them up the mountain road was definitely the right path.
