Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

Although Shen Li fell asleep, she still released a trace of mental energy to keep alert of the surroundings.

Who knows what we might encounter in this remote place?

Fortunately, the famine has just begun and everyone is relatively well behaved, not committing petty thefts.

The next day, before dawn, there were sporadic noises around. Shen Li opened her eyes and found her mother and the others were already up, so she took away the straw mat on the ground.

The villagers of Sanli Village started to light a fire to cook breakfast. They would walk until noon and could not go without breakfast.

It is still dark, there is no moisture in the air, let alone any morning dew.

After breakfast, before dawn, Shen Li, her grandfather's family and the Xu family were at the front of the team, following behind the village chief's ox cart.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

After the three gong sounds, the team started to set off, taking advantage of the fact that the sun had not yet risen to walk a little further.

Shen Li was chewing a piece of dried meat in her hand and was walking at the front of the team.

Although their team had not been on the road for long, they were already on the road. After walking for a day, everyone smelled bad, but they had to save water and could not wash.

At the end of the team, the smell of the wind blowing in your face was so sour and refreshing.

Walking in front, she felt the air was a lot fresher, and Shen Li's mood was not so depressed anymore.

The sun came out little by little, and Shen Li put on a straw hat. The sun was too strong, and she would get tanned like her father and the others.

Thinking of that scene, Shen Li felt happy in her heart.

But she also understood that she still needed to get some sun exposure, otherwise her skin would be too white and would be too conspicuous in the group of refugees.

In the team, many people saw the straw hats worn by Shen Li's family, and took advantage of their rest time last night to weave a straw hat.

After putting it on my head, I don’t know if it was for psychological comfort or a real effect, but it really felt much better.

Lin Cuicui and Xu Taohua were also beside Shen Li. She would walk for a while and then sit for a while.

In her words, she is still young and will walk as long as she can. She will be careful not to hurt herself or get tired.

No matter how naive Xu Taohua was, she knew that the journey to escape the famine would not be peaceful. If there was really danger, she was already in a weak position because she was pregnant, and she did not want to hinder her family too much.

Xu You gave the ox cart to Li Qiaolan and he got off and walked.

Li Qiaolan wanted to give some advice, but when she thought about her current situation, she swallowed her words.

Well, the in-laws were kind enough to accept them, but people should be grateful and repay kindness. Ayou is the only man in the family, and it is time for him to stand on his own feet.

My uncle was walking next to Shen Zhenyuan, and the two of them were chatting in whispers.

My grandparents were also walking beside the ox cart, and they seemed to be quite adaptable.

Near noon, we saw a group of refugees ahead. There were more than a hundred of them. They were in tattered clothes, with pale faces and thin bodies. Even from such a distance, we could tell that they were refugees fleeing famine.

Shen Li frowned slightly and walked to Lin Hu's side: "Uncle, it's almost time to rest, let's walk a little further."

Lin Hu also saw the group of people in front and understood what Shen Li was thinking.

This group of people had just started to flee the famine, and they had a lot of things with them. If those refugees had any ideas, there would inevitably be conflicts.

"it is good."

Lin Hu took a few quick steps and came to Shen Zhenyuan's ox cart. "Village chief, go a little further and pass those refugees. We will take a rest."

Shen Zhenyuan understood it immediately and asked Shen Yanshan to notify everyone to pay attention. Women, old and young should stand in the middle of the team, and young and middle-aged people should go to the sides to be careful of the refugees in front.

"it is good."

Shen Yanshan immediately walked to the back, talking as he walked.

At the same time, Shen Zhenyuan also sped up. When they met the group of refugees, those people looked at them with something strange in their eyes.

Shen Zhenyuan asked his grandson to drive the ox cart a little faster. The villagers behind witnessed it and wanted to complain, but when they saw the refugees in front of them who were eyeing them eagerly, they could only grit their teeth and push the cart to keep up.

Women, old and young all stood in the middle of the team. The teenagers on both sides of the team were stronger than them and it was obvious that they could not win.

Until the end of the team came Shen Dalong's family. Shen Dalong was pushing a cart, and Shen Laidi and Shen Xiangdi were helping him.

Wang Xiaolian was walking beside them with her son Shen Jiabao, complaining about something.

When several of the refugees saw this, their eyes lit up. When Shen Dalong pushed the cart alongside them, Wang Xiaolian suddenly let out a scream.

"what!"

She was thrown to the ground by someone, and the two whole-grain biscuits on her chest were snatched away. The man also pinched her several times in a vicious way.

Shen Jiabao was also pushed to the ground and let out a sharp scream. Seeing this, Shen Dalong put down the cart and hurried to help.

Seeing this, several refugees nearby pulled the two sisters away, rushed to the cart, found a few bags of food, carried them and ran away quickly.

Just as Shen Dalong pulled Shen Jiabao up, he heard his two daughters say, "Dad, someone is stealing food!"

Those who grabbed the food ran away quickly. It was obvious that the people in Sanli Village were not that hungry, unlike them who were starving to the point of being skin and bones.

If you don't run faster and get caught up by them, not only will you lose the food you have, but you will also be beaten.

Seeing that other refugees were ready to make a move, two strong men from Sanli Village nearby hurriedly stood next to the cart.

Shen Dalong also ran to the cart. When he saw that two bags of coarse grains, a bag of coarse flour and a bag of corn were missing, he felt so heartbroken that his blood was dripping.

"Hurry up and catch up with the team, otherwise..."

Seeing the refugees watching him anxiously, Shen Dalong hurriedly pushed the cart and caught up with the team in front.

The families behind hurriedly followed, still blaming Shen Dalong's family in their hearts.

We have told women, the elderly and the young to walk in the middle, why won’t this family listen?

It's really unlucky to follow them!

Shen Zhenyuan, who was at the front, did not hear the noise, but the families in front of Shen Dalong did hear it and wanted to come over to help, but when they looked at their daughters and wives, they gave up.

What if they go over to help and these refugees come to rob their house?

Wang Xiaolian got up from the ground and quickly pulled the still crying Shen Jiabao to catch up with the team in front.

Fortunately, all this happened in a short period of time. They soon caught up with the team in front and slowly moved away from this group of refugees.

After walking forward for another quarter of an hour, Shen Zhenyuan found a bamboo forest beside the official road and stopped the ox cart, intending to rest here.

Wang Xiaolian had a gloomy face the whole way. If Shen Laidie and Shen Xiangdie hadn't helped push the cart, she would have probably been scolded by her.

However, when they stopped to rest at noon, the two sisters still couldn't avoid the scolding.

If the sight of the villagers watching nearby was not too obvious, she would even want to hit someone.
