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

Yao Shu dropped such a bombshell, but it scared everyone. The village chief understood the seriousness of the matter. When encountering such a big event, he subconsciously asked Yao Shu what he meant.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

"I'm going to hide in the desert."

Although the conditions in the desert are difficult, especially in this summer, Yao Shu has indeed planned this. In her opinion, hardship is secondary. As long as she can save her life, short-term pain is not inevitable. Bear.

But the village chief heard that this arrangement was too cautious. He was unwilling to go to the desert. It was difficult to even drink water in that place. If someone lost his way and couldn't get out, it would be dangerous.

"We don't necessarily have to go to the desert. Can't we hide in the mountains?"

There are many deep mountains and dense forests outside Zhangzhou City. As a whole village, they don't have to worry about encountering wild animals. No matter whether they are officers, soldiers or bandits, they will not waste time entering the deep mountains.

In the opinion of the village chief, this is enough.

Yao Shu was not someone who couldn't listen to opinions. After thinking about it seriously, she finally shook her head.

"No, those who entered the city this time are bandits. They are more familiar with the situation in the mountains than we are. Our family is planning to take refuge in the desert."

After she said this, the village chief fell silent and did not answer immediately. She looked at the expression on the village chief's face and did not miss the entanglement and hesitation on the other side's face. Since the village chief was unwilling to go with her, she Of course I won't force it.

This kind of thing should never be used to make decisions for many parties. Otherwise, if the life in the future is not satisfactory, he will be resentful towards her, which will be really thankless.

So she took the initiative.

"After all, the desert is dangerous. We dare to go there only if we are prepared. You can find other places to take refuge. No one will notice us hiding outside the city."

They are just ordinary civilians, and no one will pay attention to their whereabouts. They will only go to the countryside to raid when they want to search for food and recruit soldiers.

"I'll go ask everyone what they mean."

The village chief followed her words and felt very relieved.

While they were talking, Shen Ru and his wife had already packed their things. They carried the packages and got on the carriage. Shen Nanshan shouted at the top of his lungs from behind.

"Old lady, it's time for us to go."

"Village Chief, we are leaving. Everyone should find a place to take refuge as soon as possible. Things may change later. It may not be safe to enter the mountains. Please be more careful."

Yao Shu gave one last warning and left without looking back.

The Shen family hurried on their way without stopping to rest. They didn't stop until they were very tired.

At this time, they had walked a long way and could even see the outline of the desert.

"Mom, do we really want to go in here?"

Chen He looked at the endless desert in front of him. The fear of nearly dying of thirst two years ago resurfaced in front of him. It was hot and cold in the desert, and there was no food. The life was really difficult.

"If you have a better place, you can tell me and let everyone think about it."

It's not that Yao Shu can't listen to other people's opinions, it's just because there is really no better way, at least she can't think of it.

Shen He obviously didn't have any good ideas. He scratched his head and finally lowered his head dejectedly. How could he come up with any good ideas.

Along the way, they encountered a lot of people, but they were too busy to talk to them.

Yao Shu leaned tiredly on the stone on the side of the road. This bumpy ride made her very tired and she felt so sore all over. But right now, she didn't dare to relax and rest. She watched someone hurriedly walking from the official road. Running forward, she pushed Shen Nanshan beside her.

"Old man, stop them and ask them if something happened in the city because they are so anxious."

Looking at the situation in front of her, Yao Shu had a hunch that her guess would soon come true. Otherwise, how could there be so many people rushing out of the city at this point.

In this situation, Shen Nanshan also wanted to find out what happened. Without any urging from Yao Shu, he quickly stepped forward and stopped a pedestrian to ask.

"Big brother, let me ask you something..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the other party was already impatient and wanted to go around, not wanting to answer Shen Nanshan's questions enthusiastically at all.

Thanks to Shen Nanshan's timely reaction, he was able to stop him again.

"What the hell happened? Everyone ran out in a hurry."

"Oh, you are a real person. Don't stop me anymore. It's really going to kill you. Those bandits have already invaded Zhangzhou City while the general was not in the city. The city has been destroyed. What's the matter? If you don’t run for your life quickly.”

After saying this, the passersby struggled to get rid of Shen Nanshan and ran forward without looking back.

After hearing the news, Shen Nanshan was not frightened at all, but admired Yao Shu more and more. If her old lady hadn't discovered the crisis early and led them out of the city, they might not have been able to escape from the city.

If all these people could escape, there would not only be a few scattered people seen on the road.

Shen Nanshan knew what would happen to those who did not escape without thinking about it. He was so frightened that he shuddered and quickly returned to Yao Shu.

"Old lady, thanks to you, something happened in Zhangzhou City. Let's continue on our way, shall we?"

"Let's go."

Yao Shu took a look at everyone's mental state and saw that everyone had recovered a little before continuing to move forward.

They ran into the desert without looking back, not doubting Yao Shu's decision at all. When they arrived in the desert, they couldn't even see his shadow. This situation made them feel more at ease.

People are the scariest people sometimes.

Because they were just seeking refuge, they did not go too far into the desert. They only found a remote place to hide. There was nothing useful in the desert. They didn't have to worry about enemy troops or bandits coming here. They just needed to be on guard. Don't be in danger.

This situation is already excellent.

After rushing on the road in such a hurry, the Shen family had to rest for a whole day before they could calm down.

The whole family was inevitably a little bored when they were staying in the desert. They all seemed to have nothing to do, but in the end it was Shen Bei who took out something to pass the time.

I saw him whispering in the ears of several brothers, and finally came to Yao Shude's side.

"Mom, you and I have nothing to do now. Let's play Pai Gow."

"Pai Gow?"

Yao Shu looked at Shen Bei in surprise. She even felt dazed for a moment. If I remembered correctly, their family was still fleeing, right?
