Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

The thieves are coming!

This news made Yao Shu's face look very ugly. She frowned deeply. Even the officers and soldiers of Qingshan Town treated her with such sternness, fearing that there were many thieves.

If they were to meet him, how could they save their lives? Going into the city now was the safest option.

Yao Shu couldn't think of any other way at this time, so she rushed forward, rushed in front of the officers and soldiers, and stuffed a piece of silver over them.

"My lord, please be accommodating and let our family go in."

It is said that money can make all the difference. She hoped that the money would really open up a way for her, even if it was just to hide in the capital for a while.

She looked at the officers and soldiers kicking the money into their arms, and her brows relaxed. She had accepted the money. She must have agreed to the matter, but she just didn't dare to say it. She was afraid that things would change, so she turned to face Shen Nanshan and his son. urged.

"Come here quickly, hurry up!"

It was rare for Yao Shu to be in such a hurry. Shen Nanshan and the others hurriedly ran towards this side. Just when Yao Shu was about to enter the city, before she could even take two steps forward, a shiny knife struck across the wall. in front of her.

At the same time, the cold voices of the officers and soldiers sounded.

"It is forbidden to enter or leave this city, any trespassers will be shot without mercy!"

This was an order passed down from above. He would not dare to disobey the order just because of a piece of silver.

But the white money was already in his hands, and he was reluctant to give it back, so he said to Yao Shu.

"The thieves are coming from the southwest. You'd better escape to the north. If you delay any longer, it will be too late."

This incident caught Yao Shu off guard. She did not expect that the officers and soldiers would accept the money and refuse to do anything, and even drive her outside.

It's simply unreasonable.

Naturally, she was unwilling to do so, but the cold touch of the blade calmed her down. She did not dare to continue confronting the officers and soldiers, and could only treat the money as wasted by her.

Anyway, she got a piece of news.

"Old lady, how's it going?"

Shen Nanshan and others finally squeezed through the crowd.

"The thieves are coming. Let's run north quickly."

Yao Shu couldn't care about anything else. She wanted to leave the dangerous place in front of her first.

"Old man, go and tell the village chief to stop hanging around at the city gate. He won't take us into the city."

She understood everything clearly. It was absolutely impossible to call the city gate at the moment. It was better to die as soon as possible and escape with her life.

There was a lot of commotion at the city gate, and the village chief could see clearly that it would be useless to continue waiting here. After Shen Nanshan reminded him, he immediately called on everyone to escape together.

They ran all the way north, and when they were less than two miles away, Yao Shu heard the shouting and killing coming from behind.

The thieves have already reached the outside of Qingshan Town!

Yao Shu looked back, with a look of fear in her eyes. This was the first time she felt the war so clearly.

"Mom, can we still escape?"

Shen He couldn't help but asked.

No one could answer his question, and no one knew whether the thieves would choose to attack the city or rush in their direction.

"Just run away."

Yao Shu responded that what happened next would depend on their luck.

She was among the crowd and could even hear everyone praying.

"Blessed by Bodhisattva, please don't let us meet the thieves."

"The Three Pure Ones are above us, but we must let us escape safely..."

The gods and Buddhas in the sky are all being begged by everyone. They don't even have weapons to defend themselves. If they really encounter thieves, they have no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy.

No matter how they prayed, what was supposed to happen eventually happened.

It didn't take long for the thieves to catch up.

"Everyone in front of me, please stop. If you run away again, we will release arrows."

Under their threat, no one in Dahezhuang dared to resist. Every one of them was surrounded by thieves.

Yao Shu's heart thumped. It was really over now, and she didn't know what kind of end they would end up with.

At the moment, they can only passively accept it, and there is no way they can do it.

"Go and cook for me. If you don't cook well, your husbands and children will lose their lives."

The thieves detained all the men and drove the women out to work.

It was indeed dinner time, and Yao Shu, her two daughters-in-law, and Shen Ru were all kicked out to work.

The women of Dahe Village were all gathered together. They had no backbone and didn't know what to do when they encountered such a thing. What's more, it's hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice. The bloody thieves didn't even give them a grain of rice. But asking them to cook is really a dream.

But they can only think of ways to do it.

"What should we do? We can't take our own food, right?"

"Will they really let him go then?"

"My son is still trapped inside, what should I do..."

They gathered together and murmured quietly, and it took a long time before they could come up with a reason.

Seeing that they had not moved yet, the thieves had already begun to urge them.

"Hurry up! If you don't see any food after half an hour, I will send you to see the King of Hell."

If this could not continue, Yao Shu could only stand up.

"No matter what, let's prepare a meal first. There are a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, so it's really not possible to cook a pot of wild vegetable porridge."

Just now, she had already thought of a way. If everything went smoothly, she would be able to rescue everyone.

Of course, the risk of failure is great, and your life may be ruined if you fail.

What they lacked now was someone to give orders. When Yao Shu shouted, they started to do it without thinking.

Yao Shu was not idle either. She was also looking for all kinds of edible food in the woods. There were quite a few bandits. To make such a meal, a huge amount of ingredients were needed.

Because the family was being held in the hands of the thieves, everyone was working quickly even if they were reluctant.

"Don't go any further, be careful of danger."

When Yao Shu was digging wild vegetables, she noticed that a woman was walking towards the mountains. She quickly stopped her. Even if there was more food in the mountains, she couldn't just go straight into the mountains.

She reminded her like this, thinking she could persuade the other party, but she didn't expect that after hearing her voice, the other party ran faster and plunged into the mountains without looking back.

Only then did she suddenly realize that the other party was not looking for food to save people, but running for his life.

There are no officers and soldiers to guard them. As long as they don't care about the lives of their families, it is not difficult to escape, but very few people can ignore the lives of their parents, husbands and children.

Looking at the direction in which the woman disappeared, Yao Shu's mind wavered for a moment.
