In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

The villagers followed the official and did not dare to look around. Shen Nan heard that they spent more than 100 taels of silver just to enter the city, and felt very distressed.

But when she thought that taking this route would save her more than a month of travel, she felt it was worth it. After all, there are too many uncertain factors in the detour, and with Lianlan City blocking them, they can reduce the probability of encountering the rebels.

After walking for about half an hour, they walked out of the city gate. The official took the money back to deliver the goods, and the city gate behind them immediately closed.

The villagers looked at the money that Wei Ba took out and felt very distressed. At the same time, they planned to pay the money themselves.

Different from the city gate over there, the city gate here is very bleak. After exiting the city gate, we quickly drove to an official road. The official road was lined with lush trees and the scenery was pleasant, but there was no one around.

Everyone walked inside, and the scorching heat of the summer dissipated a bit. Seeing this situation, Wei Qi couldn't help but wonder: "Is this road usually no one passes by? Why is it so quiet?"

Wei Liu shook his head, "You are stupid. At this time, who is walking around all day long? We are outside the city, not passing through a village."

Wei Qi stopped talking and drove the car silently.

Shen Nan leaned against the car window, drowsy, while Sanwa held a book in his hand and read it with gusto. Ono sat next to her, turned her head over and rested it on his shoulder.

Sanwa secretly peeked at the two of them, then pretended not to see anything and continued reading.

Shen Yue was holding Er Bao in her hands, and Wei Ci was holding Xiao Bao. The two were playing with the children, while Nian was leaning against the window so as not to disturb the young couple.

The villagers followed behind with supplies.

The Shen family is not fast, but some villagers are still lagging behind.

Wei Qi glanced at the sky and said, "Master, it's getting late. We need to hurry up and find a place to stay. Otherwise, it will be even harder to choose a location once it gets dark."

"Okay, take one of your brothers to the front. Stop and wait for us when you find a spot. We'll be there in a minute." Wei Ci touched Dabao's face and said softly.

"Yes." After Wei Qi finished speaking, he pulled Wei Liu beside him, and the two of them, with their only two horses, sped up and ran to the front.

Wei Liu followed Wei Qi, and the two of them ran along the official road.

Although Lianlan City is a county town, it is located near the Lianlan Mountains and has many trees, so the temperature is slightly lower than elsewhere, especially in places blocked by trees.

Just after the two turned the corner, a wave of people appeared not far ahead. The two looked at each other and hurried forward.

"Uh ha ha ha..." The sound of horse hooves covered up the man's lewd laughter. Wei Liu and Wei Qi didn't know what happened. They were about to go up and ask for directions when they saw an old man in his sixties kneeling on the ground. , in front of him, two burly men were pressing down on a young woman, intending to do something inappropriate.

"Sir, please let my granddaughter go!" The old man knelt down in front of the two big men and pulled hard the man's hand on the girl's collar.

"Get away!" One of them waved away the old man's hand. The old man was knocked to the ground by a burst of force, and a hole was instantly made in his forehead by a stone.

"Grandpa!" the girl screamed, biting the man's wrist. The man was in pain and slapped the girl's right face. Instantly, a blood-red mark appeared on the girl's delicate face.

"I'm going to kill you!" The girl picked up the angular gravel she picked up from the ground and smashed it hard on the man's forehead. The man was caught off guard and was hit on the temple. He was immediately dizzy and let go of his grip. of strength.

The girl took the opportunity to resist, but was knocked to the ground by another man, and the knife in his hand stabbed her directly in the chest.

"Beast..." Grandpa tried his best and knocked the man over, but was stabbed in the arm by the man.

"Grandpa..." The girl pulled her grandfather back and guarded him with all her strength. She blocked her body with the gravel in her hand. As long as the man dared to take action, she would die with him.

The man was stunned, looked at his arm that was scratched by stones, and roared: "You bitch, you are so shameless, you dare to kill me! I will kill you!" After that, the knife in his hand was pointed at the woman's Face door.

The woman held a stone to block it, but apparently she hit it with an egg.

"Stop!" Just when the girl was about to fall to the ground, Wei Qi rushed forward and chopped off the man's sword with his sword.

The girl took the opportunity to take her grandfather to a safe distance.

When the man saw this, he ignored the blood flowing on his arm and attacked Wei Qi, "Where did you come from, you brat, how dare you ruin my good deeds!"

Wei Qi kicked the man in the abdomen and kicked him away. However, the man quickly stood up and rushed forward again brandishing the sword in his hand.

Wei Qi was unable to knock him down again for a while. Wei Liu slashed at the man with his knife and struck it straight at the man's neck. While the man was dodging, he raised his leg to kick him. Wei Liu dodged and punched him. The man felt pain in his abdomen, staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.

Wei Qi stepped forward, broke the man's muscles and bones with his sword, then tied him up with ropes and threw them to Wei Liu behind him.

"Girl, are you okay?" Wei Qi looked at the girl.

The girl was checking her grandfather's injuries. After hearing this, she immediately shook her head and said, "We are fine. Thank you to the two heroes for saving your life."

Wei Qi waved his hand, "It's easy to do. The girl is also a refugee, right? Why don't you go with your neighbors?"

The girl shook her head, "Grandpa and I walked too slowly and couldn't keep up with their footsteps. There was no way..."

Wei Qi instantly understood that their grandfather and grandson had been left behind, which made sense.

After that, he turned back to Wei Liu and said, "Let's continue on our way!"

"Ah?" Wei Liu thought he wanted to take care of this woman, but he didn't expect to leave like this.

Wei Qi and Wei Liu rode away.

The girl looked at her grandfather on the ground, then lifted him up and helped him sit on the bullock cart. She bent down, put the rope of the bullock cart in front of her, and limped along while pulling the bullock cart.

It didn't take long for the two of them to find a suitable cave. When they walked back, they saw the girl pulling an ox cart slowly forward. Wei Qi couldn't bear it after all. He walked up to the girl and said, "Girl, there is a cave at the bottom of the mountain to the southwest. Cave, it’s getting late now, you and your grandpa can stay there!”

The girl looked at him and asked, "Are the two gentlemen here to explore the road?"

Wei Qi nodded.

"Thank you, sir!" The girl thanked them both.

Wei Qi and the other two didn't stay long and rushed back immediately. The girl finally found the cave Wei Qi mentioned and limped over while pulling the bullock cart.

She looked at the size of the cave, but did not go in. Instead, she parked the oxcart at the entrance of the cave, took straw from it and spread it on the ground, then spread an oilcloth on top, and then helped her grandfather sit down.

After settling her grandpa, she quickly changed into a coat. Grandpa's injury looked very serious. She didn't have any medical skills, so she could only take out the dried Houttuynia cordata brought from home from the cloth bag and boil water for him. Grandpa drinks.
