Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

So what was the reason why he allowed so many refugees to enter the county? Or is it that he is a good official who allows the fleeing people to pass through the county under his current jurisdiction? Li Qingxiu thinks this is unlikely.

After her own analysis, coupled with the system's tasks, she felt that there was something wrong with Qingfeng County.

When Li Qingxiu found Li Zheng, he saw that Li was discussing with Li Xuan what to buy when entering the county town tomorrow. The Li Zheng family also lost a lot of food this time. Fortunately, they kept all the important money with them, so they still had some money when they entered the city this time. Money can buy food.

Li Zheng was a little surprised to see Li Qingxiu coming, and he was still a little expecting in his heart. Did the pretty girl discover something good again?

When Li Ziyue saw Li Qingxiu coming, she thought Li Qingxiu was here to chat with her. "Qingxiu, are you feeling better?"

"Much better. I came here this time to talk to Uncle Li Zheng about something important."

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng felt a little more hopeful. "Oh? What's the matter? Do you have any delicious food you want to tell me?"

Li Qingxiu twitched her lips, but still told Li Zheng what she had analyzed in her heart.

Li Xuan on the side also nodded: "I always feel a little weird, but I can't say what's weird. When you put it like this, I also think there is a big problem in Qingfeng County."

Li Zheng felt that Li Qingxiu thought too much. "You are a young girl, and you are thinking about quite complicated things. Maybe the county magistrate is a good official, and he is considerate of the sufferings of the people, so he is accommodating. This is not impossible."

Li Qingxiu didn't expect that Li Zheng didn't pay attention to this matter. She thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Li Zheng, do you still remember why we fled?"

Li Zheng and Li Xuan were startled when they heard this. Rather than fleeing, it is better to say that they fled because they were afraid of being caught and used as targets.

They suddenly thought of something and looked at each other with wide eyes. Could it be that the magistrate of Qingfeng County was from King Zhao?

Seeing their expressions of surprise, Li Qingxiu didn't know how far they had come.

"Dad, if this county magistrate is from King Zhao, I'm afraid those refugees who enter the city will never come back."

Li Qingxiu heard what Li Xuan said. The thoughts in my head become clear. Yes, if this county magistrate is from King Zhao, then everything is wrong.

Li Zheng still held a trace of luck in his heart: "What if this is not the case? Then we will miss the opportunity to buy food."

Li Qingxiu really wanted to hit Li Zheng on the head with a hammer. Just in case something happens, the whole team will be happy as targets, right?

Unfortunately, she is only a nine-year-old girl, so she can't talk too thoroughly about everything. If she talks too thoroughly, they will think she is a child prodigy.

Li Xuan is still reliable at the critical moment. "Dad, we can't afford to bet on this kind of thing. Your decision may affect the lives of hundreds of people."

Li Zheng sighed: "But we don't have much food. Without food, people will die. Besides, the villagers hope to go to the county to buy some food this time. After yesterday's riot, many families have no food."

Li Xuan was speechless this time. He lowered his head and pondered something.

Li Qingxiu was a little anxious, hey! The young man kept silent and continued to brainwash your father.

But it seemed that Li Xuan didn't accept her intention at all, so Li Qingxiu could only play by herself. "Uncle Li Zheng, can we buy food in the county? Will the price of food be higher than before?"

Li Zheng didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of confusion. He suddenly felt so tired. Why was it so difficult to live?

Li Qingxiu pretended to murmur to herself casually: "Think about it, it's better to dig wild vegetables and drink water in the mountains. Maybe we can eat wild game again."

The father and son looked at each other, a trace of clarity flashed in their eyes. Yes, why do they have to worry about whether to go into the county town to buy food? As the saying goes, if you rely on the mountain, you can eat the mountain. There is not enough food to make up for the wild vegetables. Maybe we can find potato fields again.

Li Zheng slapped his thigh. "Okay, let's find a mountain to hide in for a few days tomorrow morning."

In fact, Li Qingxiu felt that it would be better to start the journey now. If the Qingfeng County Magistrate is really from King Zhao, then their team of several hundred people must be in line with King Zhao's inhuman appetite.

She thought for a while and said to Li Xuan: "Li Xuan, scholar, will the soldiers on the city wall come down to arrest us?"

"No, they are the soldiers responsible for guarding the city gate. The city gate is closed now at night. Normally, it won't be reopened until early tomorrow morning if there is nothing important."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he realized what he was doing. He immediately said to Li Zheng, "Dad, we have to set off and leave here right away."

Li Zheng was confused: "What's wrong? I'm exhausted after walking all day, and I'll be the same again tomorrow morning."

"Dad, it's different. Now that King Zhao is rebelling, he will definitely need a lot of strong men to expand his army. Our team has a lot of people, and most of them are men. If the county magistrate suddenly opens the city gate and sends people to arrest us, we It’s too late to even run.”

When Li Zheng heard this, his expression changed and he stood up immediately. He wanted to hit the gong but was afraid of attracting the attention of the guards on the city wall, so he asked Li Xuan to take Li Aniu and Li Lei to inform everyone that they were ready to leave.

Li Qingxiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the matter was done. Then he turned and left and returned to the team of Li Dazhuang and his three families.

She also asked the three of them to quickly pack their luggage and set off again later. Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang asked what was going on.

Li Qingxiu told them: "Uncle Li Zheng thinks something is wrong in Qingfeng County. I heard from Li Xuanxiucai that the magistrate of Qingfeng County is probably a member of King Zhao."

Hearing this, the three families were startled and packed their luggage faster. When Li Aniu came to notify them, they had already packed it.

The villagers, who had finally looked forward to a rest, started complaining when they heard that they were about to start their journey again.

"Why do we have to start again after just sitting for a while? If I don't leave, I'm almost exhausted."

"It's fine if you don't leave, then you can stay here and be a target." Li Xuan lost his former gentle scholar appearance because he was impatient, so he said coldly and went to inform other families.

Although the villagers were all confused, they were frightened when they heard the word "meat target". No matter how reluctant they were, they got up to pack their things and get ready to go.

Some people had half finished their meals, and when they heard that Li Zheng was about to set off again, they were resentful but were afraid of being left behind by the team, so they quickly put out the fire and packed up.

The adults were fine, but the children were not. All of them were crying and saying that they could no longer walk and their legs would be broken if they continued walking.

The mother-in-law couldn't bear to see her child suffer so much, so she told her man: "Why don't you go talk to Li Zheng and leave tomorrow? The child really can't walk."

Although the men felt sorry for the children suffering, they did not want to be caught and used as targets. So I was able to calm down and say: "Okay, okay, if you don't leave, stay. I have to leave anyway and I don't want to be a target."

What can the children do? When he heard that his parents were abandoning him, he could only cry and move forward.
