Traveling through ancient times to survive

The Zhao people traveled through mountains and rivers all the way, and those who stayed in the camp were in high spirits. They carefully searched the empty sheds, took the things that could not be taken away, and even fought when they met many people who liked the same thing.

The new village chief didn't care at all because his family was taking the lead in looting things, and the camp soon became chaotic.

Brother Wang moved his family to the best shed with great pride, and fell into a sweet dream while holding his wife. The seven-member team in the quarantine area began to act.

The fourth brother took the three brothers behind him and randomly selected a lucky family and pried the door open. The fourth brother first fetched a kitchen knife. The people on the bed were sleeping soundly. The fifth brother and others covered the sleeping women and children with their hands, and the fourth brother patted the man's face with the back of the knife.

The man opened his eyes and saw several strange strong men standing at the head of his bed. His heart stopped and he was about to scream, but the fourth brother quickly covered the man's mouth.

"Shut up! I'll kill you if you scream!"

The fourth brother swung the kitchen knife in his hand and brought it close to the man's neck. The man's pupils shrank sharply and his whole body trembled.

"Okay, I'll ask you questions and you'll answer them. If you dare to play any tricks, be careful of your family's lives!"

The man then realized that his family members were also controlled. They were trembling, their faces full of tears, but they dared not cry out loud.

"What do you want to ask?"

The fourth brother ordered fiercely: "Take me to your brother Wang!"

The man agreed hastily, fearing that the knife would chop him if he was a second late.

"Yes, yes, I'll take you there right away."

The family was pushed out of the house and led the way tremblingly. When they arrived at the door of Brother Wang's house, the man looked terrified and his voice trembled.

"Brothers, this is Brother Wang's house."

The fourth brother kicked the door open and woke up Brother Wang who was sleeping. He stood up and cursed.

"Who is it! How dare you steal from me? You really don't know how to live or die!"

Before he could finish his words, the fourth brother walked in and kicked him.

The strong Brother Wang was kicked back onto the bed, causing the bed to collapse. Brother Wang’s wife, who was still on the bed, screamed loudly.

Brother Wang groaned in pain, and the fourth brother stepped forward and lifted Brother Wang up by the collar.

He smiled kindly: "I hope you will be born into a good family in your next life."

There was a flash of knife in his hand, Brother Wang's eyes widened, he covered his neck, his trachea was cut, and he could only make a crackling sound, blood flowed out from between his fingers.

Wang's wife screamed and fainted due to the shock. The villagers who were awakened thought there was a thief and ran out to help.

The fourth brother just dragged out Brother Wang's corpse, whose eyes were open when he died, and the villagers' indignant expressions froze.

"It's dead!"

"Everyone shut up, our boss is in charge here now!"

Some people tried to hide, but were hit on the head by the other people who were behind them, and fell down with their eyes rolled back. Those who also wanted to run were frightened and squeezed forward, leaving a large space behind them, not daring to get close to the men who looked so fierce.

The fourth brother had a fierce look in his eyes, full of murderous intent: "Put down the stick in your hand, or you'll see if my knife is sharp enough!"

The corpse thrown at their feet made Lao Si's persuasiveness fully exerted. The villagers threw down their sticks. Even though they had the advantage in numbers, they were still like sheep being hunted by wolves, trembling but not daring to resist.

There were screams in the camp, while the Zhao people were sleeping soundly in the wild.

They walked and stopped many times, and it took them seven days to reach their destination. Everyone threw away their luggage and sat down on the ground.

Zhao Chengchuan introduced excitedly: "Through the cave entrance in front, there is a valley inside, and that is our new home."

While the tribesmen were resting, Zhao Chengchuan and Li Wu made two torches. A quarter of an hour later, everyone carried their luggage and followed the two into the dark cave.

Two people, one in front and one in the middle, held torches to light the way. The road ahead became narrower and narrower, and the tribesmen became nervous.

"Chengchuan, how far is it?"

Zhao Chengchuan replied without even turning his head: "We're almost there."

"Is there really a valley ahead?"

Zhao Chengchuan said firmly: "Yes! I will not lie to you."

Sure enough, after walking for another cup of tea, a faint light appeared ahead and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When you get closer, you will see a narrow hole that is only wide enough for one person to pass through, and light is shining through it.

Zhao Chengchuan was the first to enter the cave, and the tribesmen immediately followed. Outside the narrow cave was a vast world.

There are high mountains on all sides. The sunlight shines from the sky into the valley, forming a rainbow above the lake. The lake is like a huge mirror, reflecting the blue sky. It is quiet and mysterious. Wild grasses emerge from the ground, and young buds grow on the big trees. Everything is peaceful and beautiful.

All the tribesmen came into the valley one by one. Every one of them was mesmerized by the magnificent scenery at first sight and dared not speak for fear of breaking the tranquility of the place.

After a long time, everyone started talking.

“It’s so nice here!”

"Yes, I heard that it was the daughter of Chengchuan family who first discovered it. What a capable girl."

"If I had known this place was so good, why would I hesitate?"

The patriarch clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"We've arrived at the new place and we'll start over. We can't have more than a hundred people without a leader. From now on, Zhao Chengchuan will be our new leader."

Zhao Chengchuan hastily refused: "Chief, I can't do it. You should continue to lead us."

The tribesmen looked at the chief eagerly, but he shook his head and said, "I am already old. I should have retired long ago and let you young people take over."

Zhao Chengchuan immediately responded: "You are not old at all."

The tribesmen agreed: "Yes, you are still strong and healthy, how can you be old?"

The clan leader laughed and said, "Why, can't you let me take a rest and enjoy my old age?"

Everyone kept their mouths shut, and no one dared to ask the patriarch to continue working.

The clan leader continued, "Well, starting from last year before the temperature dropped, we asked everyone to store food and not sell it, and reminded everyone to chop wood, avoid floods, and prevent epidemics in advance. All of these were ideas from Zhao Chengchuan's family. Even the medicinal materials for treating the epidemic were donated by Zhao Chengchuan's family. No one here is more qualified to be our leader than him."

The tribesmen were shocked. It turned out that these were all proposed by Zhao Chengchuan. He actually saved them so many times! The tribesmen surrounded Zhao Chengchuan with grateful and admiring eyes. Following such a visionary person, how could they not be satisfied?

"I agree."

"I agree, choose him!"

In the crowd, Zhao Chengshan lowered his head to hide the jealousy in his eyes. Zhao Yuanmu had a complicated expression. He didn't expect that the second son had such a great fortune. It was a pity that the second son had some small misunderstandings about them. I wonder if it is possible to repair the relationship now? Sun Xiaocao was still immersed in the grief of never seeing her daughter again, and didn't care about this son who had already torn his face.

Zhao Chengchuan blushed, and was nervous and excited. He stammered, "Patriarch, I, I am still too young. I have no experience. I can't do this."
