At this point, Chu Laowu started crying again.
In fact, those defeated bandits saw women and thought they could be sold for money, so they decided to take a few of them away.
And they, unfortunately, are the unlucky ones.
"If you run separately, most of you should be able to escape. Besides, those bandits have been defeated, so they won't keep chasing us."
These were just words of comfort. Chu Laowu knew that not all the people would be caught, but it was possible to catch a few of them.
"Where are Xu Qingshan and his gang?"
Finally, Wen Lao Er asked about Xu Qingshan.
However, unlike Ru Mu earlier, this time he just wanted to know what would happen to that biased old man and the widow Zhou's family.
Xiushui looked at Chu Laowu as if she was watching a play. When he saw her and Uncle Wen Er just now, his expression was a little twisted and resentful...
This kind of emotion, of course, could not be directed at her and her second uncle. It only meant that they had friction with Xu Qingshan's family along the way.
Sure enough, when Chu Laowu was asked, he snorted angrily.
"When my aunt wanted to divorce Xu Qingshan earlier, I just thought she was going too far.
But only by coming into contact with them can you realize how shameless those people are.
When we paid the toll, the group had their eyes on Wen Xiuxiu. But Xu Qingshan said my daughter was pretty and had a good personality.
Then, the bandits took all of us to the mountain. My eldest daughter..."
At this point, Chu Laowu burst into tears. "My daughter Lianhua was only thirteen years old. She was so young and was taken into the house by the bandit leader that night.
Woo… The next day, after the two sides started fighting, I found Lianhua’er, but she was just a corpse…
That’s not all. The next day when we were escaping in the chaos, I was not on guard and when danger came, Xu Qingshan pulled me to block the knife.
This cut on my back was given by Xu Qingshan... Ahhhh... Xu Qingshan and I are irreconcilable!"
this……
No one had expected such a twist. No wonder Chu Laowu looked so shocked.
In just two days, the family broke up and a daughter was gone.
Everyone in the village knew that the person Chu Laowu was most proud of was his eldest daughter Lianhua.
Xiushui also remembered that Wen Changlin, the eldest wife, also said that he wanted to marry Lianhuaer.
Who would have thought that in the moment of trouble, Xu Qingshan directly dragged the little girl to take the blame, and eventually indirectly killed someone.
Uncle Wen was furious. "That old bastard! I'm severing ties with that old man. From now on, if you see him, don't try to talk to me about anything. I don't have an elder as heartless and ungrateful as him."
Everyone nodded, and the Wen family also said that they would not interfere in the affairs of the eldest wife and Old Man Xu.
Even if I meet her on the road in the future, I will never give her a second glance.
The old village chief sighed and patted Chu Laowu's shoulder to comfort him.
Xiushui proposed softly.
"Old village chief, I'm afraid we can't light a fire tonight. Although this group of defeated soldiers and bandits just robbed the mountain stronghold.
But who knows if they'll be on patrol at night and see the light and come and make trouble again!"
The old village chief shuddered.
"Everyone, put out the fire quickly.
Twenty-four people took turns guarding the alert point, with twelve remaining in the first half of the night and twelve remaining in the second half.
Remember this, if there is any movement, be sure to call everyone."
If some people had previously felt that it was too difficult to escape famine by following a large group of people.
Now after seeing the fate of rich people like Chu Laowu, everyone has one idea: that is to firmly follow the big guys.
Seeing everyone like this, Xiushui thought of a problem, that is, everyone must work together to escape the famine.
Otherwise, according to the current situation outside, if everyone only cares about themselves and acts like scattered sand, I'm afraid the people in this village will not be able to escape far.
But how can I tighten the screws on the villagers? I kept this question in mind and would discuss it with the old village chief on the way tomorrow.
At this time, the old lady also told her to go to bed quickly.
Because they couldn't start a fire, all that could be heard at the scene was everyone's complaints.
"Alas, I haven't finished knitting my sleeping bag yet.
I must get up early tomorrow morning to knit a sleeping bag.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep well at night.”
Wen Xiushui originally wanted to find an excuse to take out the tent, but because of Chu Laowu's sudden intrusion, she was even more afraid to take it out rashly.
However, the information revealed by Chu Laowu also made her decide that she must take out the tent openly tomorrow.
Since we can’t light a fire, we can’t explore the reasons why the plants have different colors tonight.
Tonight, she and Hei Mei slept in the sleeping bag together.
Fortunately, I had woven it larger at that time, and I had originally planned to fill it with a layer of grass to serve as a windbreak.
I didn't expect that two people could sleep together at the same time. That's right... they were so close together, like conjoined twins, swaying constantly while turning over and over.
Although it was fresh at first, but later on... to be honest, the experience was not very good.
Lying in the sleeping bag, I recalled and summarized today's events in my mind.
By the way, I also mentioned what I will do tomorrow.
I have to get up early tomorrow morning to study the collection technique.
I always feel that if the collection technique is used well, it will be of great help to her on her journey of fleeing from famine.
Unfortunately, she wanted to have a good sleep and get up early to conduct the experiment, but reality did not allow it.
No one is destined to have a good sleep tonight.
