The scene was chaotic again.

Lao Hutou looked at Wuni chasing after Ergou, frowned, waved the cigarette rod in his hand, and shouted: "Pack your things and set off."

The Hu family immediately became busy, and the Lao Zhuangtou family also started to move.

Suddenly, the scene became even more chaotic.

Ergou took advantage of the chaos and took the buns from Huang's hand, ate one himself, and reluctantly gave one to Wuni.

After a period of fuss, the Hu family's three bullock carts were all packed up, and everyone was properly placed. No one was left behind.

The man from the big house rode in an ox cart, and Dashan drove the cart.

Mr. Lu, Lao Hutou and the people from Sanfang rode in a bullock cart, and Zhuang Mingde drove the cart.

There were only a few people in the second room of the Hu family, so they squeezed into a bullock cart with my sister-in-law's family, and my uncle Zhuang Qiangzi drove the cart.

The remaining villagers took an ox cart, and the old village head drove the cart.

Lao Hutou didn't know how to drive a car, but when he saw that his in-laws, Lao Zhuangtou, actually knew how to drive a car, he scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously. He secretly vowed to learn how to drive a car, and he was determined not to be outdone by his in-laws.

In this way, the four oxcarts set off in a jittery manner. The refugees on the official road saw that the man sitting on the oxcart had a knife in his hand, and they did not dare to make a mistake, let alone stop the car and say that they wanted to take a ride.

Seeing this scene, Lao Zhuangtou lamented that there were such changes on the way to escape. He no longer had to walk to the destination like the refugees behind him, and he no longer had to suffer. It was all because Lao Zhutou had a good granddaughter, Hu Pianjuna.

Pian He and Ge Er were sitting together. Pian He discovered that since getting on the bullock cart, Ge Er never spoke to her again along the way. Instead, she concentrated on staring at the road and both sides of the road, hoping to pick something up. Package, make a fortune, and then be able to show off in front of everyone.

The sun is setting in the west.

We set off half a day late, and before dark, four ox-carts unexpectedly overtook the people from Hujia Village who were walking ahead.

The head of the Hu family, the village chief and all the villagers in Hujia Village were surprised to see Hu Zhiqiang's family and his son-in-law's family catching up in an ox cart. They guessed that the ox cart that Hu Zhiqiang was riding in belonged to his son-in-law's family. It's a bit disdainful.

But when they learned that the fact was not what they had guessed, and Lao Hutou suddenly had three ox carts, everyone was even more surprised.

Hu Zhiqiang became rich all of a sudden. How is it possible?

After seeing Hu Dashan driving the bullock cart, everyone immediately understood that Hu Dashan bought the three bullock carts, right?

Thinking like this, everyone's mentality immediately changed. They felt that they should not underestimate Hu Zhiqiang who was catching up, so they all persuaded Hu Zhiqiang to follow him and not to be separated from his tribe and fellow villagers. If we are together, whatever happens on the road will be fine. To take care of you, I didn’t see that Hu Zhiqiang’s family not only had three bullock carts, but also several large knives.

The in-laws of Hu Zhiqiang who were traveling with us also had an oxcart, and there were quite a few young and middle-aged men in the village, as many as six. These were all advantages. How could we not make the clan leader, village chief and everyone else excited?

Hujia Village was the closest to the place where the rebels launched the rebellion. It was occupied by the rebels not long after. Although everyone escaped, they were not lucky. On the way, they encountered officers and soldiers who arrested young men and took away most of the young men in the village. The remaining They may be old, young, or like Hu Shoucai, who was a sick man, so he was not taken away by the officers and soldiers and sent to the army.

Moreover, the knives, pots and other iron objects in their hands were also taken away and confiscated by the officers and soldiers. They also robbed a lot of food.

The people in Hujia Village are short of food and cannot eat enough.

This time the people of Hujia Village fled south collectively, and some of them were riding oxcarts. The patriarch’s family and the village chief’s family had oxcarts, and they rode in oxcarts along the way. In the entire Hujia Village, they were the only two families who had oxcarts. Now With the addition of Hu Zhiqiang's three bullock carts and one from his son-in-law's family, they would not appear particularly out of place or out of place.

Moreover, if Hu Zhiqiang can return and his in-laws can join, then the strength of Hujiacun will be greatly increased.

This is also the reason why the clan leader and village chief changed their attitude and joined in trying to retain Hu Zhiqiang.

Old Hutou was praised highly by everyone. Seeing that the clan leader and village chief had changed their attitude towards him and began to pay attention to him, his vanity was greatly satisfied, so he agreed to go on the road with everyone and said no repeatedly. The clan leader and village chief can rest assured that they will leave their clan members and fellow villagers behind.

Mrs. Lu, too, finally felt proud in front of the villagers and in-laws, and looked at Pian He with eyes full of approval.

Lao Zhuangtou didn't really care who he went to Xijun with. As long as there was food and safety along the way, it was good. Obviously, traveling with people from Hujia Village satisfied both of these points, so he agreed to join. The Hujiacun team.

In the evening, everyone in Hujia Village found a dilapidated temple to rest. Old Hutou's status in Hujia Village skyrocketed, and the resting place at night was specially arranged in an excellent location, next to the patriarch and the villagers. Long family.

After placing the things, Old Zhuangtou looked at the gloomy sky, walked up to Old Hutou and said worriedly: "My dear, it seems like it's going to rain today!"

"It doesn't matter. According to the weather conditions at this time, even if it rains, it will only be light rain." The patriarch came over to interject enthusiastically, but out of the corner of his eye, he stared at the three bags of thick noodles, two bags of white noodles and more under the old Hutou's oxcart. Rice, and two packages that should contain steamed buns.

At this time, Mrs. Lu bent down and opened the bag of thick noodles. She did not notice the prying eyes of the clan leader. She took out a bowl of thick noodles, and then another bowl of thick noodles. She felt that the two full bowls of thick noodles should be filled with more water. Mix it with wild vegetables and cook it until it is enough for the whole family, then tie the thick flour bag tightly.

Mrs. Wu took a bowl of thick noodles from Mrs. Lu, and they went to cook the wild vegetables together.

The old village head asked the patriarch who came over: "Hey, if it rains lightly, it is raining, and your clothes will get wet. I wonder if you will continue on the road on a rainy day, or stop and wait for the rain to stop before going?" The second half of the sentence is What the old village leader wants to know.

Actually, there have been rainy days along the way. We always wait for the rain to stop before rushing on. I wonder what the people in Hujia Village will do?

The patriarch looked at the leaving figures of Lu and Wu, and said nonchalantly: "Xiao Yu, it doesn't matter, don't you have an ox cart and a knife? Before it gets dark, go and cut some branches and come back to make a temporary structure for the ox cart." A roof is enough to keep out the rain. Zhiqiang, we can't stop and wait for the rain. I'm worried that we'll be late. The good fields and good land have been allocated, and we can only get the second-class land."

After listening to the words of the Hu clan chief, the old village head nodded vaguely, thinking that what the Hu clan chief said was reasonable, and sighed softly. It is a shame to leave your hometown. If there is nothing you can do, your home will be occupied by the rebels. Who would leave their hometown?

But deep down in his heart, he didn't agree with the Hu clan leader's approach of rushing on a rainy day. If he got caught in the rain or got cold, it would not be a trivial matter. Besides, did he really think that he could get a good land by going to Xijun?

It is already good that the prefect of Xijun is willing to give out second-class land to refugees from outside. There is no need to think about good land.

Old Hutou followed the clan leader and village chief all the way. Naturally, he knew that the clan leader and village chief's ox carts were used like this on rainy days. Now that he had an ox cart, he naturally had to do the same thing. He turned around and ordered Dashan to go. : "Da Shan, go and cut some branches and come back, build the ox cart and build a roof to protect it from the rain."

After hearing this, the old village head also said to Mingde Mingwu who was packing things aside: "You guys should go together and follow Dashan to put up the roofs of several oxcarts." Since the people of Hujia Village planned to brave the rain On the way, the old village leader had no choice but to follow. Anyway, he had an oxcart to ride in, but it was a hardship for the villagers who had no place to ride in the oxcart.
