"Okay, I understand. Mother, second sister, if you feel tired, remember to tell me, don't force yourself.

This road is still far away. I heard from the village chief that we have to walk 15 miles today. In total, we have to walk more than 1,000 miles."

Yu Qingqing was worried that her sister and mother would not be able to bear it for too long.

"It's okay, third sister. Mom and I will definitely tell you when we are tired. I will support mom, so don't worry."

Yu Qingmei was able to keep up with the team by following Hua Qinglu.

"Everyone, pay attention and don't fall behind. If you fall behind, catch up immediately and don't get lost."

There was a young man patrolling nearby, shouting as he walked.

There are sparse trees on the roadside, and the leaves are mostly withered and yellow. Looking at the whole field of vision, the ground is full of golden fallen leaves, which looks quite beautiful.

There wasn't much grass on the ground, nothing but fallen leaves. Where there were no trees, it looked like the ground was bare.

Moreover, the fallen leaves on the ground will be crushed if you pinch them lightly, and they are very dry after being scorched by the sun.

Yu Qingqing and the others walked for about an hour before they were out of the town.

Many elderly people and young children felt that they could not bear it any longer and their feet were particularly painful.

"No, I can't walk anymore. My feet hurt so much, I feel like they're not my own."

A woman with a cloth wrapped on her head shouted loudly with her mouth wide open.

"Mom, my feet hurt so much! I want Dad to carry me on his back." A little girl of five or six years old was acting coquettishly to her mother.

"Dear Ping'er, your father is carrying something on his shoulders and can't carry you on his back. Let me massage your feet later and they won't hurt." A beautiful woman was comforting the little girl.

"But my feet hurt so much, I don't want to walk anymore. Can you please not walk, Mom?"

The little girl did not listen to the beautiful woman. After all, she was still a child and it was normal that she could not bear to walk for such a long time.

After a while, all I could hear were various noises, most of which were vaguely complaining about foot pain or something like that.

"Village chief! Can we take a break? Many people are complaining that they can't walk any more." The patrolman saw the crowd start to make a noise.

"Qiangzi, we have only been walking for a short time, and we still have a long way to go. If we take a break after walking for a while, we may not be able to reach our destination in the next three months.

Go ask everyone if there is room for more people on the bus. We have only been on the road for a short while, otherwise it will take even longer later."

Village chief He Qiang looked embarrassed. It had only been a short time since they left. What would he do if it continued like this?

"Okay, I'll go take a look." Qiangzi ran to the back of the team in a moment.

"Everyone, listen to me. We still have a long way to go. Let's see if you can hold on a little longer and rest in the next town.

The village chief said that the road ahead is very long and if we take frequent breaks, it will take even longer." Qiangzi explained patiently.

"It's so hot, I won't walk anymore. I'll die of heat before I even get to the destination." An old man with wrinkles on his face squatted on the ground, unwilling to walk any further.

"That's right, it's so hot! We'll die of heat if we keep walking." Various complaints began to be heard from all around, and some people squatted in their original places one after another, unwilling to walk any further.

"Dad, it's so hot, I think no one wants to go on. Do you think you should talk to the village chief and take a rest first?"

Yu Qingmei looked at the men, women, young and old on the ground. Her feet were also aching, and she began to feel a little sorry for them.

"Xiao Mei, I can't guarantee that the village chief will agree to this. It's still a long way to go. If it continues like this, it will probably be difficult to reach the destination in three months." Yu Qingshu also looked embarrassed.

"Dad, why don't I go and talk to him? You see, my sister, mom, and I are not in good health. If we keep walking like this, we will easily get heatstroke." Yu Qinghai stood up and prepared to go find the village chief.

Yu Qinghai quickly walked to the front of the team and saw Village Chief He Qiang carrying a large package in front of him.

"Village chief! Village chief, wait a minute. Many people in the back are sitting on the ground and won't move. The weather is too hot. The elderly and children can't stand it. Do you want to take a rest?" Yu Qinghai finished his words in one breath.

“Qinghai, the weather is really hot, so we should just walk for a while and then take a rest. It may take more time to get to Dongyu later.

It's not that I don't let others rest. If everyone can hold on a little longer and try to arrive earlier, it will be good for everyone.

"You go and tell everyone that those who want to rest can rest, and those who want to keep going can keep going. When you have rested enough, just catch up with the team in time." He Qiang said helplessly.

"Okay, I'll go tell everyone and let them decide for themselves." Yu Qinghai walked back quickly, shouting as he walked.

“The village chief said that those who want to rest can rest, and those who want to continue on their journey can continue on their journey.

Those who have rested well should catch up with the team in time, make their own decisions and be responsible for themselves." Yu Qinghai soon arrived at his own ox cart.

"Qing Hai! What you said is true. The line will probably be very long at this rate." An old lady stepped forward and asked uncertainly.

"These are the original words of the village chief. If you want to rest, then rest. The village chief said that you can just keep up with the team." Yu Qinghai explained patiently.

After hearing this, everyone in the crowd started to whisper. Some people actually found a slightly cooler place to rest, while others gritted their teeth and insisted on continuing on their journey.

Yu Qingqing's family also decided to take a short rest before leaving. Seeing that no one had left, Yu Yuanyuan took out the pancakes she had made earlier.

Each of them started to nibble on one. The biscuits were so hard that Yu Qingqing began to doubt her life while nibbling on them.

"Boss, look, these people are not sociable. Some are resting, some are leaving. There are many things left here, and we can gain a lot from them."

Suddenly, the voice of a short bearded man was heard from a big rock next to Yu Qingqing and the others.

Next to him were a few other men who were also dressed in rags, each holding a large knife in his hand.

"Well, keep watching and wait for the right moment to strike. Wolf cub, go and notify the others to be prepared."

A slightly sturdy man, the short bearded man, said this. The bearded man was called "Wolf Cub".

"Don't worry, big brother. I'll take care of it." The wolf cub said and began to tiptoe to the back.

"Dad, why do I feel like someone is following us?" Yu Qingqing was quite sensitive and always felt like someone was following them.

"Qing'er, do you mean that we are being targeted?" Thinking of the current situation, Yu Qingqing's words caught Yu Qingshu's attention.

"Dad, do you mean that there are people with bad intentions following us? What should we do then?" Yu Qinghai also muttered quietly.

"Xiao Hai, go quietly and inform the village chief, and ask him to find someone to keep an eye on it to avoid any emergencies." Yu Qingshu felt that it was necessary to tell the village chief.
