Traveling through ancient times to survive

The Zhao family members discussed preparing to escape, and the malicious group of seven in the quarantine area also discovered something unusual.

"Brother, it's bad. The people in Dashan Village are preparing to run away."

Lao Wu, who was good at gathering information, reported in a panic.

"What happened? Can you tell me in detail?"

The eldest brother, who was lying down with a look of enjoyment on his face, suddenly sat up and looked at the fifth brother with sharp eyes.

"The person who delivered the food today was absent-minded. I felt something was wrong, so I asked him. He said that the village chief had notified everyone to move into the mountains. Some of them didn't want to go, but they were afraid that it would be dangerous to stay, so they were worried."

The boss ordered: "Call all the brothers over, let's discuss it together."

The group of seven gathered together secretly, and the fifth one repeated the information they had gathered.

The fourth brother, who was full of muscle, was anxious: "Boss, if you don't take action now, the fat sheep will run away!"

The second brother showed a toothache expression: "The master hasn't been found yet, and they are about to flip the table and run away. Will we be discovered?"

Everyone looked at the sixth and seventh brothers. These two were the last two to join the team and they couldn't hide the secret. They were the most likely to leak the information.

Looking at the boss's violent eyes, the two men broke out in cold sweat and waved their hands frantically.

"No, no, I can swear to God, there is absolutely no leak!"

"Yes, Boss, trust me. If I leak the secret, I will be struck by lightning!"

The others then believed them and looked away.

The second brother continued: "That's another reason. We need to know why."

The eldest brother ordered: "Old Three, Old Six, you two should be careful. You will sneak out of the quarantine area and go to where they live to find out. We need to know more information. Be careful and don't get discovered."

"Yes." The two men obeyed and left.

The two men avoided people and helped each other to climb out of the isolation area. The camp was in a mess and the guards were much more relaxed, so no one noticed that two people had escaped from the isolation area.

It was time to move again, and everyone was feeling upset. When things didn't go their way, they started quarreling. The whole camp was in an uproar, which gave the two men a chance to take advantage of the situation.

Zhao Qing and Li Wu, who lived in the innermost part, felt their ears hurt by the noise and relaxed their vigilance, not noticing two small fish coming to the outermost part of the camp.

"Dad, the village chief is leaving. Do we really want to stay?" A woman's worried voice came from the shed.

The two people who happened to pass by exchanged glances, nodded, and then quietly hid behind the house, with their ears closer.

"What do you know, woman? You are so ignorant. It would be better if they leave. Brother Wang said that anyone who follows him can get ten acres of land. That's ten acres of land! I have worked so hard for so many years and still haven't earned so much land!"

The man started by scolding loudly, and finally spoke to the ground, the greed in his tone unable to be concealed at all.

"But the village chief said it's not safe to live in the village?"

The woman advised cautiously.

"Where is it unsafe? You are just timid. Have you seen anyone die in these days? It's not like we haven't learned the methods taught by the village chief. What is there to be afraid of? Besides, Brother Wang will ask the village chief to leave all the medicine for us. It is said that the brave will die of overeating while the timid will die of starvation. Do you want to die of starvation or overeating?"

The man said with disdain, and the shed became quiet. The woman seemed to have been convinced. The two eavesdroppers were delighted and excited to receive important news. They continued to eavesdrop, and after waiting for a long time and hearing no other news, they left the house and went somewhere else.

After listening to some trivial matters of two families, the two men looked impatient. They went to the next family and finally heard new news. They became serious.

"The village chief said we'll be moving out the day after tomorrow, so hurry up and pack your things. Don't dawdle. If you delay, I won't forgive you."

"Mom, don't rush me. We can clean up the little things at home in less than an hour."

"That's right, my second brother is right. Mom, why do we have to listen to the village chief and move into the mountains? Are we going to give up our family land?"

"You idiot, the village chief is such a far-sighted person. Since the temperature dropped last year, every time we were able to avoid danger, it was because the village chief asked us to prepare in advance. The village chief asked us to move into the mountains because it must be unsafe down there. If you are stupid, just listen to the smart people! Don't always ask stupid questions that make people laugh."

“Why is it unsafe down the mountain?”

"You are such a blockhead! I am so sinful that I gave birth to such a stupid son like you!"

"Brother, it must be a plague! You can't think that the plague is no big deal just because our village got through it so easily this time. Look at the people we rescued these days. Most of them can't even get up now. They look like they are just gasping for breath."

The two men inquired about a few more households, confirmed each other's information, and then turned around and left. Because they were still far away from the center, they were lucky enough to escape the eyes and ears of the two masters in the village.

"Boss, we found out that they decided to hide in the mountains because they were afraid of the plague."

"It turns out that the people living here with us are infected with the plague! How could the people in Dashan Village be so vicious that they locked us up with them? They want to harm us! Big brother, we must not let them go!" The fourth brother was shocked and jumped in anger.

Boss: "..."

The third brother laughed and said, "Fourth brother, you just realized it now, your reaction is too slow!"

The fourth brother was confused and puzzled: "You knew it a long time ago? Then why are you willing to be locked up? Aren't you afraid of being infected?"

The second brother explained: "As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Since people from the same village want to lock us up here, we can't tear our faces apart. As for why we didn't escape later, it's because the fifth brother asked about it when he arrived. The medicine distributed by their village chief every day is very effective. Everyone in their village who was infected with the epidemic has recovered. Otherwise, why would the eldest brother be willing to let everyone wait in peace?"

The seventh brother interrupted: "Brother, it seems that the plague is not a big problem for them, so why are they afraid now?"

The second brother said confidently: "Because we don't have enough medicine!"

The fourth brother was heartbroken, as if his own medicine had been used: "I said we should kidnap the village chief to get the medicine first, but now the medicine is gone, what should we do?"

The second brother bowed to the eldest brother and apologized: "Boss, this matter is my negligence. I thought there was some expert in this village, so I chose to stay put and let them waste a lot of medicine."

The boss waved his hand and encouraged the morale: "It's not your fault. It's because you acted cautiously that we were able to avoid so many disasters and survive. If there is no medicine, then there is no medicine. We are still alive and well!"

The fourth one nodded his head: "The eldest one is right, is this plague really that serious? I see that we are all fine, and the people who were with us before didn't die from the plague!"

When the flood came, these seven people fled into the mountains in time and found a cave with a water source. With clean water, they only needed to worry about food. But with the cave behind them, they also lured enough "food" over. They were lucky to escape, so most of the people in the team did not feel much about the plague.

The second son didn't think so. He had heard the old man talk about the horrors of the plague.

"Boss, this medicine is so effective, we must not give it up. I estimate that the amount of medicine is not enough for the entire village, but since they haven't stopped us yet, the remaining medicine should be enough for the seven of us."
