At the beginning, I beat Lazy, and the host is cruel.

Early the next morning, before Mao hour arrived, many villagers were already packing their things.

Xia Mo and Aunt Shi also got up early to pack their things. All the luggage had to be tied to the cart, and a little space was left for Granny Shi and Xiaobao to sit.

I made a plan at the end of summer and tied several large earthen pots to the middle of the cart with vines. Two baskets were tied to the rear of the cart, and pots and pans were placed in them.

Clothes and other packages were also placed in the backpack, and several small earthen jars were placed on top of the packages to prevent the jars from being broken.

Mrs. Shi and Tiedan carried several bamboo joints filled with water on their backs.

At the end of the summer, he gave Song Laicai a piece of bamboo and asked him to carry it on his back, so that he could save some water. This was his three days' worth of water and it would be gone after he drank it.

Song Laicai snorted coldly and took the bamboo joint. It could also be used as a walking stick when he was tired from walking.

As soon as Li Zhengmao hour arrived, he took everyone out and set off, and the large troops in the village began to move again.

The villagers hurriedly and slowly arrived at the gate of the next city after five days' journey. The villagers were all excited.

Because there are actually officers and soldiers at the gate of the city, it means that this city is not an empty city, but is managed by the government. After fleeing for so long, I finally see someone from the government.

The villagers all rushed to the city gate as if they were seeing their relatives.

Reality hit them hard in the face. When the officers and soldiers looked at the large number of victims coming over, they immediately picked up their weapons and went on guard, all of them looking fierce.

The moment the officers and soldiers held spears against their chests, the villagers were stunned and did not dare to take another step forward.

After all, Li Zheng was someone who had dealt with the government. He went up and said a few nice words to the official, and the official put away his weapon and loudly scolded the refugees who were coming.

"Get out of here. If anyone rushes over and throws you into prison."

"Catch them for what they want, why are there so many big jails to lock them up, just behead them on the spot." An official who seemed to be the leader said arrogantly.

Li Zheng bowed and led the villagers back.

The whole village retreated to a place 200 meters away from the city gate before stopping. The villagers all had pulled faces and looked sad.

Li Zheng observed for a while and found that some villagers could still enter the city. He discussed it with the clan leader and went to ask what the requirements were for entering the city.

Not long after Li Zheng left, he came back.

The whole village stared at Li Zheng eagerly, and Li Zheng sighed and shook his head.

"It's impossible to enter the city. The official said that it will cost one tael of silver to enter the city. If you want to settle down, each family will need 5 taels of silver."

After Li Zheng finished speaking, the villagers all started wailing, and some simply sat down on the ground, slapping their thighs and wailing.

"This is deliberately not leaving us a way to survive... Wuwu..."

"For God's sake... please open your eyes and see..."

"Damn it, how can we have so much money? Isn't this going to cost us our lives?"

"Are these officials blind? Let's fight them!"

A villager raised his shovel and shouted.

Soon several excited villagers shouted, "Fight them."

"Shut up!" Li Zheng yelled angrily, "The rebellion will destroy the nine tribes. You are tired of living, why don't you think about your children!!"

After Li Zheng finished his roar, he looked at the howling villagers and his eyes were red.

The villagers put down their weapons, and the strong men covered their faces and howled.

The patriarch sighed and said, "Don't conflict with the officials. Those of us who are old, weak, sick and disabled are not worthy enough in the eyes of the officials. Don't bother. Let's think about it. What should we do next? Let's discuss it together." .”

A villager with red eyes said angrily, "What else can we do? Wait until death. You can't go back, and you can't survive."

"Haha... If I had known that after running away for so long, I would still have to wait for death, it would be better to die at home."

A strong man raised his head with tears and smiled bitterly.

For a time, the villagers in Shidang Village hugged each other and started crying.

Xia Mo sighed and couldn't stand the atmosphere. She walked up to Li Zheng and said loudly, "Uncle Li Zheng, can we climb over from the nearby mountain? Although it is harder, there is food and drink on the mountain. You can crawl over!"

When Li Zheng heard this, he suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said, "Yes, we can still climb the mountain. Although the mountain is a bit dangerous, there are many of us, so we don't know who is afraid of whom!"

There was no other way at the moment, so the whole village unanimously agreed to climb the mountain and cross over.

But there were two families who still had some money at home. They quietly took advantage of the villagers' discussion and rushed to the city gate with their families.

Xia Mo didn't say anything when she saw it. Everyone has their own choices. Of course it's easy to do things if you have money. She doesn't have the capital now.

Some villagers also saw several families rushing to the city gate, and they all chose to remain silent, but their eyes were full of envy. They were so poor that they could only follow the large army over the mountains and ridges.

After the discussion, the large force headed towards the mountains to the east of the city gate. They would camp at the foot of the mountains tonight and climb the mountain directly the next day.

The villagers dragged their luggage and walked towards the foot of the mountain with sad faces.

No one knows what the road ahead will be like. No one can say for sure whether they can survive. They are all groping forward. Once you have made your choice, you can only move forward. Whether you will regret it or not is a matter for the future.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Zheng explained again that those who disagree with climbing the mountain can choose another way out. If you want to leave, go as early as possible. The earlier, the safer. Don’t regret it after climbing the mountain for a long time. No one will accompany you to turn back.

After deciding on the route, everyone's minds were at peace. When it was time to go to the mountains to find food, they went to look for food, and when it was time to cook, they also went to cook.

At the end of Xia Dynasty, Aunt Shi and she found a clean place to rest. Most of the things on the cart were consumed, all the fish were eaten, and there was still some roe deer meat left.

At the end of summer, I decided to stew all the remaining meat, and asked Mrs. Shi to stew the meat too. If I can't find a place to make a fire while climbing the mountain, I can't eat raw meat. After stewing, put it on the tile In the jar, take it out and eat it directly during rest.

Everyone ate and rested for the night, and finally felt better.

At nine o'clock the next day, Li Zheng woke up the sleeping villagers, and everyone packed up their things and started climbing the mountain.

Aunt Shi abandoned her cart with a look of pain on her face. At the end of Xia, she thought it was a pity that the cart was abandoned like this. She dragged the cart and exchanged a few kilograms of grains with the villagers who came into the city early in the morning.

At the end of the summer, he gave the grains to Aunt Shi. After taking them, Aunt Shi put them in the basket. She was not polite to Qingcao and wanted to wait until they were made into grain dumplings before giving them to Qingcao.

Song Laicai, on the other hand, was watching from behind, rolled his eyes, and muttered that Qingcao had lost his mind.
