But this man was from Shenjia Village, but he came to Yunzhu Village with a knife. Everyone could see what he wanted to do.

Everyone looked at him as if he were a thief.

The man's head was broken and he looked at the people from Yunzhu Village while gasping for breath.

"What are you going to do?"

The villagers of Yunzhu Village asked directly and loudly.

The man also reacted at this time, and immediately hid the knife behind his back, saying guiltily:

"No, nothing. I was just getting ready to go to the bathroom and I went the wrong direction."

"I think you just want to steal something. Why did you come to our place in the middle of the night?"

The people in Yunzhu Village obviously didn't believe him and they all glared at him.

However, due to the lack of evidence, we cannot do anything directly to the person.

They could only watch that man return to their Shenjia Village team.

The man didn't know who hit him and could only walk back covering his bleeding wound.

When the night watchman heard the noise, he came back immediately.

Qin Liang called a few people over.

After talking about what had just happened, everyone became alert.

One of them said, "We just heard some noise and went over there."

"Now it seems that we have to guard one side each."

Several people reflected on what had just happened. It was obvious that someone had deliberately led them away.

But they were still fooled and were not vigilant enough.

For a moment, everyone felt fortunate that someone had discovered that person just now.

Qin Yan glanced in the direction of that person and asked:

"Do you know who injured him?"

"Everyone said they didn't know. When I woke up, everyone looked like they had just been awakened." Qin Hao said.

Qin Yan always felt that things were not that simple. This was too much of a coincidence.

Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to look in the direction of Shen Nuo.

Shen Nuo had already laid down, his small body slightly bent, and he looked like he was not sleeping well.

"It's better to send more people to keep watch at night, and be more careful about the people behind us."

After hearing what he said, the others nodded in agreement.

After what happened just now, the families at the back didn’t get much sleep.

The second half of the night was peaceful.

Early in the morning, Village Chief Qin rang the gong to wake everyone up.

Shen Nuo opened his eyes and looked around, and everyone else stood up one after another.

After everyone had eaten their dry food, they packed up their things and prepared to set off.

Everyone carried their bags, pulled carts, and brought their children with them, and started another day of travel.

Half a day passed.

The sun in the sky became hotter and hotter, and there was no cloud in the sky.

The group of people were thirsty and the water they had filled yesterday was almost used up.

In such hot weather, even if you don’t finish the drink, it will evaporate quickly.

At this moment, everyone walked out of the dense forest and faced the scorching sun, which was even more unbearable.

Suddenly, everyone saw the river.

However, the riverbed of the once big river in front of us has now been exposed, with only a small stream in the middle.

Still, better than nothing.

Everyone licked their cracked lips, ecstatic.

Village chief Qin also asked the young and strong people in the village to fetch water from the river.

"Don't worry, everyone. Take as much water as you can. This water is enough for us."

Qin Yan took out two water bags of his own and was about to take the one from Shen Nuo's hand, but Shen Nuo dodged him.

"I'll go with you too. Let the village chief take care of the things."

Shen Nuo looked at Qin Yan, as if to say, "If you don't let me go, I won't give you the water bag."

Qin Yan laughed.

"Go, let's go together."

After saying that, Qin Yan handed the donkey's rope to Qin Hao who was standing beside him.

He put the two water bags on his waist, took an axe from the cart, and used his other hand to hold Shen Nuo.

Shen Nuo held the water bag in one hand and let Qin Yan hold the other hand.

Others also took up their water bags and wooden buckets for carrying water, and those walking in front cleared the way with hatchets and axes in their hands.

There are some thorns and tall grass on the road towards the river. It is not as flat as the plains.

The group finally made it down to the river, and the others followed suit down the path.

Here, Shen Nuo suddenly found many unfamiliar faces. It seemed that they were from other places.

It is no longer as simple as just Yunzhu Village and Shenjia Village.

Where there are people, there are disputes. Soon, more and more people came to the river, and some people started pushing each other in order to get a better position to get water.

And on the other side where you couldn't see the end, a lot of people were coming down.

The people in Yunzhu Village also discovered this, and the village chief immediately sent someone down to ask the people in Yunzhu Village to get water and come up quickly.

A dense crowd of people had gathered by the river, scrambling for water, and some were pushed into the water.

Some people were even pushed to the ground and trampled by the crowd before they could even get up.

Qin Yan protected Shen Nuo and walked closer to the crowd. At first, these people were shocked to see that someone dared to bring a young man down with him, and they even tried to push Shen Nuo towards them on purpose.

However, when he saw the axe in Qin Yan's hand, he immediately gave up the idea.

He could only walk aside obediently and did not dare to get close to Shen Nuo.

Some of them saw Qin Yan coming towards them with weapons, and they retreated to both sides in fear, leaving a path in the middle.

Seeing this, the other people from Yunzhu Village also took out the weapons around their waists. Now no one dared to push them.

After fetching water, everyone returned to their respective camps, and Qin Liang found a few influential people in the village to talk to.

"Everyone has seen the situation by the river. I'm afraid many places have been hit by the disaster. I don't know if there is any place for us to stay in the county town."

Several people frowned. There were less than a thousand people in their village, but the number of people who had just gone down was more than that.

"No matter what, we have to wait until we get to the county town. If we still don't have a place to stay after we get there, let's see where to go."

Finally, Qin Liang said.

Several others also agreed with this decision.

"Just be more careful on the road ahead."

Everyone nodded, knowing that they would have to be wary of more than just Shenjia Village in the future.

There were several intersections just in front of here. Some of the refugees were wearing clothes much more ragged than theirs, and it seemed that they had fled from far away.

I don't know why, but we all chose to climb this mountain.

No one would take the initiative to talk to others. They just felt that compared with those people, the people in Yunzhu Village were already very good.

Qin Liang called the young and strong men in the village and asked them to take up their weapons and walk around the periphery to prevent anyone from targeting their villagers.

Compared to the refugees, the people of Yunzhu Village did have more things, not to mention cows and donkeys.

After hearing what the village chief said, each family sent out young and strong men to walk around the periphery to protect the village's food, women and children in the middle.

Everyone continued on their way, and seeing this, the people from Shenjia Village followed closely behind those from Yunzhu Village.
