Song Laicai stared at Xia Mo's back with a complicated expression. He wanted to ask her what she had experienced that day, why she was like this when she came back, and where the docile little daughter-in-law had gone.

It's just that he didn't say anything in the end. In the past, as long as he looked at her, his wife would guess and ask him what he wanted to do. After guessing a few times, she would get it right. If he guessed it right, he would just nod his head and her wife would go. Done.

Now the corners of his eyes are cramped, and his wife doesn't even look at him. The world has really changed.

Song Laicai shook his head, sighed deeply, picked up the clothes tied to him next to the dead tree, and limped along.

After only an hour of walking, Song Laicai couldn't bear it anymore. He forgot to find a walking stick when he set off. It was very difficult to walk with his limping legs.

Song Laicai yelled at the girl in front of him, asking her to come over and help him.

The big girl wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked back, stopped, and looked at her mother again.

Xia Mo said without looking back, "Ignore him. You can go your own way. If you keep at it, we can rest."

You are so shameless, how can you have the nerve to ask the child to go back and help him? The child is so young, his face has turned white after walking for so long, and he is obviously a little unable to hold on.

Song Laicai looked at the girl and paused for a moment, then his wife said something, and the girl turned around and left again.

Song Laicai gritted his teeth and yelled hoarsely, "Meng Qingcao, do you dislike me for holding you back now? You won't even let your child help me. Is this how you teach your children? I am a member of the Song family, You've led me astray like this. It's such an unfilial thing."

The eldest girl said worriedly, "Mom, how about I go help daddy? Dad seems to be angry."

Xia Mo said with a tigerish face, "You don't care if he is angry or not, do you have the strength? There is still a long way to go. He is as big as a little baby like you, so hurry up and don't waste time." "

The big girl was urged by Xia Mo, glanced back, and walked forward hesitantly.

Song Laicai's face turned completely dark, and he stared gloomily at Xia Mo's back, as if he wanted to make a hole in it.

Aunt Shi heard Song Laicai's shouts from a distance, and looked back a few times worriedly. When she saw Qing Cao Niang and the others following behind, she felt relieved and took her mother-in-law on her way.

When Aunt Shi's family was escaping from famine, they finally pulled out the family's flatbed truck. Not to mention anything else, Aunt Shi's mother-in-law sat on it, which was a lot more convenient.

Although Tiedan is a bit naive, the half-grown young man is quite strong. He pulls the flatbed truck like a calf, and his speed is not slow at all. At least it is much faster than the children in their family at the end of summer.

Aunt Shi helped push the trolley behind her. After traveling for so long, Tiedan didn't even say she was tired.

As for Xiaobao, walking for half an hour was already the limit. Behind him was Xia Mo, who was holding him while he was walking. The dragging and pulling only made it more difficult.

After walking for almost an hour, everyone was about to lose their support.

When Li Zheng led everyone to a flat ground, the team in front slowly stopped and sent a message to everyone to take a rest and start again in an hour.

Now is the hottest time of the day, and this open space is not covered, making it even hotter.

It's just that when you look ahead, you can't see any other place to stay. If this continues, everyone will not be able to bear it.

Everyone in the village sat down to rest. At this time, no one went to light a fire to cook food. The time was so short, and they had to leave after the food was cooked and eaten.

Xia Mo sat directly on the ground with his three siblings. The original color of the clothes on his body could no longer be seen. There was no need to dislike anyone.

At the end of summer, I put the pot on the ground, then took out a sweet potato, poured a little water into the pot, and washed the sweet potato. The water should not be wasted. Keep the clarified water in the pot.

When the three little guys saw the sweet potatoes, their eyes widened, and Xiaobao couldn't help but swallow several times.

Xia Mo took out the kitchen knife from his waist, used a cross knife to cut the sweet potato into four pieces, and each person divided a piece.

The girls happily ate the sweet potatoes and drank some water.

By the time Song Laicai caught up, the ladies had already eaten and sat down to rest.

Xia Mo poured the dirty water in the pot into a broken bowl and asked the big girl to drink it for Song Laicai.

She didn't want to give him water, but if she didn't, Aunt Shi would give Song Laicai water.

Don't think she doesn't know. When they were packing up after eating in the morning, Aunt Shi quietly gave him a bowl of water.

Otherwise, Song Laicai, who had been hungry all night, would not be able to keep up with them.

Song Laicai looked at the somewhat turbid water, didn't think much, and drank it as soon as he raised his head.

After walking for such a long time, his throat was almost burning with thirst. This cruel bitch didn't even give him a sip of water along the way.

And after being on the run for so long, he has drank water dirtier than this.

Song Laicai felt that he had just taken a breath when the team in the village started to rush on again.

He was so angry that he didn't even have the energy to curse, he was so hungry.

In this way, after traveling for four or five days in a row, at the end of summer, when he was resting every night, he asked Da Niu to bring a small half bowl of washing water to Song Laicai.

Aunt Shi saw that Da Niu had brought water to Song Laicai, so she stopped giving him water.

Xia Mo left him hanging like this, and Song Laicai didn't dare to complain. It wasn't that he was scared, but that he recognized the facts.

Several houses in the village were without food and water, but he could still occasionally have a drink of water. This was considered a very good day for the fleeing team.

Sometimes when he was really hungry, he would go to Aunt Shi's silly son and get a bite of food from him.

He didn't dare to make trouble with Xia Mo. If this poisonous woman got angry, she might not even give him a sip of water. Song Laicai felt that she was capable of such a thing.

Just when they were about to run out of ammunition and food in late summer, the village team finally left the city gate and rushed to the next city.

The current city is really empty. Even the soldiers guarding the city are gone. The refugees are fleeing on the official road. The official road is wide and easy to walk. Normally, you have to be led by officials to leave. But at this time, there is no The soldiers led by the inspector were arrested.

Looking at the desolate city, the villagers couldn't help but burst into tears. After leaving this city gate, they were really far away from their homeland.

As soon as the village team left the city gate, several families were robbed by hungry refugees with green eyes.

The villagers who had some food in their hands screamed in fright, and the team in the village was a little confused for a while.

Li Zheng and the clan leader finally realized their conscience and were afraid that if they continued to be scattered like this, the team in the village would be torn apart by the refugees.

Li Zheng summoned the strong men in the village and asked them to hold weapons that could protect themselves and walk on the edge of the team, with the elderly and children walking in the middle to prevent refugees from robbing them.

The villagers finally felt a little more at ease. The whole village united as never before and slowly moved forward.

Song Laicai finally caught up when the team was moving forward slowly, but he looked particularly embarrassed.

One of the short shirts he was wearing had been snatched away by an unknown refugee. His upper body was naked and there were some scratches. He clasped his hands on his chest, hunched his head, and limped toward the village team.

He was so wretched as a gangster that he was almost killed by a strong man in the village, thinking that some refugee was trying to rob him.

It wasn't until he was forced to do nothing and raised his head while avoiding his eyes that the strong man in the village recognized him as Song Laosan.

Fortunately, although he was also surrounded in the encirclement at the end of the summer, he was still at the end of the line, so the distance was not too far.

Song Laicai walked into the team from the strange eyes of the villagers. Despite everyone's suppressed laughter, he caught up with Xia Mo with his face flushed.
