The whole village was empty and eerily quiet, with no sign of human habitation at all.
After a moment's silence, someone whispered, "Alas, it looks like everyone in this village has fled the famine..."
The people in Sujia Village didn't care too much about the fact that there was no one in the village. After all, they had been traveling all the way, and at this moment they only thought that it would be great if they could have a safe place to rest at night.
The village chief was experienced and knew that in this chaotic world, one must be cautious in everything, so he ordered the strong Da Hu and Da Zhuang to go into the village first and take a good look to see if the village was safe. After confirming that it was safe, he would let everyone in.
After receiving the order from the village chief, Dahu and Dazhuang did not dare to slack off at all. They looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.
Then, he walked towards the village cautiously.
At this time, the night was like a huge black curtain, tightly covering the entire village. It was so quiet that only their own footsteps could be heard.
They moved forward slowly while observing their surroundings vigilantly, not missing any corner and checking everywhere carefully, but they still found no trace of anyone.
When the two of them walked to the innermost part of the village, suddenly, a house caught their attention. A faint light was coming out of the house.
Da Hu and Da Zhuang became alert instantly. They looked at each other tacitly, then lowered their footsteps and quietly approached the house.
When they got closer to the house, they looked inside cautiously in the light coming through.
Upon taking a look, I found that there seemed to be a family in the house, resting quietly inside.
Looking closely at their clothes and appearance, they seemed to be refugees like them.
Dahu and Dazhuang didn't dare to stay here any longer, and quickly retreated quietly.
They trotted all the way to the village entrance, and when they saw the village chief, they hurriedly told him everything they had seen in the village.
After listening to this, the village chief frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he thought that since there was only one family resting in the village, there shouldn't be any big problems. So he decided that everyone should go into the village to rest tonight.
After entering the village, the people of Sujia Village searched for a while and found a relatively spacious place where they prepared to have a good rest.
At this time, the village chief was thinking that since there were still people in the village, even though everyone was in trouble, they had to stay here for the night, so it would be appropriate to say hello to them.
So the village chief took Su Wenjun, Liuzi and a few others and walked towards the house at the innermost part of the village where Dahu and Dazhuang had discovered the light coming out.
Soon, they arrived at the house. The village chief stepped forward, gently knocked on the door, and then politely said, "Hello, we are refugees passing through here. We are really tired and would like to stay in the village for one night. We came here to say hello."
Hearing the voices in the house stop abruptly, everyone waited quietly.
After a long while, footsteps were heard slowly, and then the door was opened with a creak.
A tall and strong figure appeared before them. The man looked at them and said calmly, "Stay here if you want. We are just passing through and want to stay here."
When Su Wenjun heard the voice, he was stunned at first, then his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He stared at the burly man in front of him and blurted out: "You, you are Brother Yizhu?"
The man known as Brother Yizhu was puzzled when he heard this. He looked at Su Wenjun carefully and asked with a frown, "Who are you? How do you know me?"
Su Wenjun quickly reached out and smoothed his messy hair, revealing his face completely.
Zhao Yizhui took a closer look and saw that Su Wenjun's face, which had been handsome before, was covered with traces of frost from all the traveling.
After a long while, Zhao Yizhu finally reacted. He widened his eyes and said in surprise, "You...you are Wenjun?"
"Yes, brother-in-law, I'm Su Wenjun!" Su Wenjun's voice trembled with excitement. "I didn't expect to see you here. It's like a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple! My family almost didn't recognize me!"
The moment he saw the Zhao family, Su Wenjun felt so happy that it was impossible to describe in words.
You know, because the Zhao family did not flee the famine with them, his wife was sad for several days.
During those days, his daughter-in-law sighed all day long, with a sad look on her face, and she had no motivation to do anything. Su Wenjun saw it and felt pain in his heart, but he could only comfort her helplessly.
Now that’s great, we actually met here, as if it was fate.
Su Wenjun thought to himself that maybe they could travel together in the future, so that he could take care of each other on the way.
Su Wenjun's face flushed with excitement, his eyes flashed with irrepressible excitement, and his whole body was in a state of extreme excitement.
His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and he shouted to the village chief: "Village chief, this is my brother-in-law Zhao Yizhu! Look, this is such a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet him here!"
After saying this, Su Wenjun seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly turned his head to look at Zhao Yizhu. With a face full of eagerness, he hurriedly explained to him: "Brother-in-law, this is the village chief of our Sujia Village. Thanks to the village chief for leading us all the way, otherwise we really don’t know what to do." After a brief pause, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother-in-law, is everyone in there? I miss you all so much. I didn't expect to meet you here. This is really a great fate!"
"Hello, Village Chief Su." Zhao Yizhu greeted Village Chief Su with enthusiasm and respect.
He nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, our whole family is here. We've had some bumps along the way, but luckily, everything is fine. Look, we just arrived here and settled down yesterday, and I ran into you guys. What a coincidence!"
Just as everyone was talking to each other in a warm and exciting atmosphere, the people in the house who were originally sitting or lying down to rest were also attracted by the noise outside.
Among them, Zhao Suotou, the head of the family, was particularly sensitive to the fact that the situation seemed a little unusual. He hurriedly stood up from where he was sitting, took steady steps, and slowly walked towards the door.
