As a result, after the Wang family left, she didn't call the Zhou family, saying that the Wang family was ungrateful and had kidnapped their daughter. She wanted to report to the police and arrest those bastards from the Wang family.
The people in Luojia Village don't want to bother with the Zhou family. The Zhou family is notorious for being unreasonable in the town.
Now that Wang Huan, whom they were looking for, had left, they naturally would not continue to entangle with this woman here. Instead, they took the people from Luojia Village and went directly back to the village to discuss what to do.
Now, the Wang family has given up the family business they have worked hard for decades in Luojia Village and Yunshan Town and left Yunshan Town, which means that they can no longer stay in Yunshan Town and they must make preparations early.
They had already given up the idea of exchanging for a pass in a legitimate way, and planned to leave here as refugees and escape directly.
You know, ever since Wang Huan came to Luojia Village, their Luojia Village has been thriving!
Although the people in Luojia Village are relatively xenophobic, they have never bullied the Wang family, because Old Man Wang is indeed a smart man. He not only has a very good relationship with the county yamen runners, but also has connections with all kinds of people.
Now that the Wang family is running so fast, they must immediately catch up with the team that left Yunshan Town these days. Those who are leaving now are basically those who want to go to Jiangnan, where there are abundant aquatic products and rich resources. They also have to catch up with this group now.
Even though the people in the county government tried hard to quell the rumors that the court would soon send people to provide disaster relief, many people still ran away, even as refugees, and they couldn't be stopped.
Now all the people in Luojia Village have gathered in the ancestral temple of Luojia Village to discuss what to do in the future?
Most people agreed to leave directly and head south to seek a way to survive, but some elderly and frail people did not want to leave. They believed that they would rather die in their ancestral land.
They don't want to be buried in a foreign land. What's more important is that they are also a burden. Even if they don't get along well with each other on a daily basis, they can't hold these children back.
The main reason was that they thought it was impossible to walk to the south of the Yangtze River on their own. They knew their own situation and knew they would definitely not be able to reach the south. They would probably die on the way. It would be better for them to guard the village so that if these people came back, they would have a place to stay.
Sure enough, after the final discussion, those elderly people who had difficulty walking were abandoned in the village. The village chief finally decided to leave some food and water for them and then left.
Within two days, the people of Luojia Village came out with large and small bags on their backs. Those who had carts pushed them, and those who had carts pulled them. The younger and stronger people took their wives and children and left Luojia Village directly, embarking on the road to the south.
In fact, they still fantasized about meeting Wang Huan and having him walk with them. They didn’t know where Wang Huan’s final destination was, but as long as they walked in one direction, they would definitely meet him.
Wang Huan naturally didn't know that someone was thinking about him at this time. He was very busy and the journey was becoming more and more difficult. Teams went looking for water one after another, but no one could find any. Even the horses ridden by the officers fell to the ground due to lack of water.
Since people couldn't afford water, how could there be water for animals? In the end, the fallen horses were dismembered and eaten by the officers and prisoners, and their blood was poured into water bags for those who couldn't afford water.
At this time, no one would dislike the smell of horse blood. Who would dislike it if there was something to drink to prolong life?
The Zhang family members were now exhausted and had finished their water, so when they rested at night, the old man gave Zhang Tao five water bags and two bamboo tubes.
The bowl was filled with boiled water with some salt added, which could replenish energy. After delivering the water, Wang Shiyu brought a rice ball to her grandfather on the way back.
"Grandpa, eat this. This is something from that place. It's delicious. Have some."
Wang Shiyu pretended not to understand and gave the old man a seaweed rice ball with meat floss filling.
The old man looked at the rice ball, which had a strange shape. When he put it in his mouth, it had a fishy smell, but tasted good. The stuffing inside was delicious. He finished it in a few bites and drank a few sips of water.
"Xiaoyu, do you have anything else in that place? Is there anything we can use right now?"
"Just take the money you need from the box. It doesn't matter if you use it all. As long as our family is alive, there is hope."
Wang Shiyu looked at her grandfather's dark face, which was full of worry for his descendants. She was free to use the gold, silver, jewelry, and banknotes that he had stored with his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, I get it. Everything is there, nothing is missing. These strange foods are all on the ground. I see they are all rice, it would be a waste if I don't eat them. I'll take a silver ingot and put it on the ground over there as payment."
"Grandpa, there are a lot of useful things in there. Look, this one can light up when you press it. It's brighter than a torch."
I took out a flashlight and covered it with a dark piece of clothing. I turned on the switch and the light was still bright through the clothes.
The old man looked at this thing. It was a sharp weapon in the dark. Would he still be afraid of walking at night with this thing?
Wang Shiyu took out another raincoat, unfolded it and put it on, letting the old man look at her body in the light. Because the raincoat was too big, the old man was not an ignorant person, so he could naturally see the use of this thing.
"There are still many things. It's late now and many things can't be seen clearly. You have to let Grandpa see them during the day."
