They really didn't dare to leave the child behind right now. If they did, he would basically be gone, because the refugees down there were also looking for boys between eight and ten years old, hoping to use this child in exchange for a spot to enter the city.
Because after entering the city, they can get houses, water and food. If they work harder, they can directly join the garrison reserve at Jianmen Pass to work, so they can live a few more days.
They won't have to sleep in the open and go hungry. To be honest, this condition is very tempting. If they weren't taking care of the child now, they would probably want to find such a job, which would not only support the whole family but also allow them to settle down. Then the child could be settled directly in Jianmen Pass and wait for the Zhang family to pick him up.
Wang Shiyu looked back at the place where they rested. Because it was a corner, she couldn't see what was going on inside. The child was definitely looking at their direction nervously, but he didn't dare to move forward. After all, his life was in the hands of the Wang family. Unlike before, he was fine and could even study the secret.
"Grandpa, can we still put this child down? Will we have to carry him on the next journey? Or, in other words, we simply can't let this child go. We can't just take him to Qiong Island, right?"
The old man followed Wang Shiyu's gaze and saw a yellow earth wall blocking the view from that side.
He was not sure what to do about this problem. After today, those who were injured in the explosion would definitely wake up, and their portraits would be posted everywhere at the city gates. There was no way for him to go down the mountain openly to find out the situation. Even if he was in disguise, he would still attract attention. Those gossipers below were no ordinary people. Their eyes were always on the people who were resting and alone. As for what they were doing, he didn't know, so he ran away when the guards at the city gate changed.
Unless they find a way to arrive at the city gate with a large number of refugees, they will not be discovered and noticed by these people. However, there are no large numbers of refugees heading here now. Almost all of them have rushed to Qianmen Town to seek survival, so this place will not attract the attention of others.
The refugees who followed closely were all familiar with each other. The inexplicable appearance of a few unfamiliar people in the team would attract their attention, and they would not dare to take the risk.
However, they had finally managed to get here by hiding all the way from the front gate, and it was absolutely impossible for them to go back to Qianmen Town, especially since the Zhang family's team was about to arrive here. According to their itinerary, it would only take two days. They could only find a way to wait here, or think of other ways to leave here directly.
So the family had no choice but to hide in the mountains that were shaken, seeking a glimmer of hope, praying that those people would not find them. There were also people chasing them from behind, ambushing them from all sides, and if they were not careful, they would lose their lives.
Wang Shi was truly impressed. What kind of unlucky physique did Zhou Qingyun have? Why did everyone want to stab him? And he'd been running away for so long without any problems, while the people around him were suffering. No, wouldn't they all be killed by him soon?
They had no other choice. Even if they wanted to enter the city, they couldn't. After all, they had alerted the enemy. Their portraits should be hanging on the city wall by now. It made them feel very annoyed just thinking about it. Why were they so unlucky? If they had known earlier, they would not have gone to see the dead and would have left early.
As for how to hand this brat over to the Zhang family, that matter will be discussed later. What they are thinking about now is how to ensure their own safety. As for those officers, soldiers and guards who went to look for them, they probably guessed that they had returned to Jianmen Pass, because no one had gone out of the city to look for them in the past two days. Instead, they were talking under the city wall, looking towards the mountains where they were hiding. On the second day, they saw these people coming into the mountains with scrolls in their hands.
The Wang family had no choice. If it weren't for Wang Shiyu and Zhou Qingyun, two children who met the requirements, they could have just gone down the mountain and transformed. They were actually inconspicuous among the refugees, but the two children were too young. He had no way to let the two children hide in the mountains alone. They went down the mountain to investigate the situation. Now the family could only carefully hide from those who came into the mountain to search.
There were even a few times when they saw someone coming up the mountain, but they didn't check their location, allowing them to escape. This made them doubt whether to continue hiding in the mountains. What if they were caught again? They didn't have the ability to protect Zhou Qingyun, and they might even lose their granddaughter.
So the nine of them sat together in a circle, wanting to discuss what to do. Now, there were groups of people going up the mountain to search, and it was obvious that they were not together. They couldn't just hope that God would keep them from being discovered, that would be nonsense. Now, so many people prayed to the gods to survive, but no Buddha appeared to let them live.
"Yun'er, you should know that the people who have been looking for you in the past two days were sent to find you. What do you think we should do?"
The old man would never stifle a child's idea. On the contrary, he respected the children's ideas very much. Just like Wang Shiyu said before, when he realized that they might be in mortal danger, he decisively chose to sell the house and land, moved to the town, and began to stockpile various supplies. Seeing that a meteorite shower really fell from the sky, they also decisively packed their bags and left their hometown. This saved them from disaster. So for Zhou Qingyun, he also wanted to hear his thoughts and see if he had any suggestions. After all, they were in different positions and naturally had different ideas.
