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

He Laidi rolled his eyes when he saw her waving the stick so weakly. Who could she scare with just this?

So she quickly pulled out a kitchen knife from the cart and swung it at those people's hands.

What's the difference between robbing people's food and killing them at this time? She will not show mercy.

"Click~"

A few people quickly withdrew their hands, and the kitchen knives made a dull sound when they hit the cart.

"Go away~"

He Lai Di held the kitchen knife ferociously and waved it in a disorderly manner, which discouraged those who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief. Although these people were indeed pitiful as they were starving to the point of being skin and bones, they would be even more pitiful if they had no food at home.

As a result, the next second, she was pulled off the side of the cart, and then three men carrying three sacks of grain on the cart turned around and ran away.

"Ah~"

Shen Jiaojiao fell to the ground, her hands were bruised and she was stepped on by four or five people.

The strong desire to survive made her get up and rush to her own cart. She sat in the position she had just sat in and wiped her tears.

He Lai Di was stunned. She didn't expect Shen Jiaojiao to have such explosive power.

Shen Dajiang, who was in front, became a little anxious when he heard his daughter crying. Now was not the time to ask, so he had to keep his head down and continue on his way.

As for Shen Changfeng and Shen Wensong, they were now busy pulling the cart and had no time to pay attention to Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Changyou would ignore this little aunt even more. The little aunt would often snatch food from him, so he didn't like her.

Even though Shen Jiaojiao fell off the ox cart, he still sat on the ox cart calmly without moving at all.

"Ah, what are you doing? Stop snatching!"

There was a cart at the back, but it was snatched away by the refugees who rushed over, leaving only an empty cart.

Such situations are not uncommon, and there are still many people who take advantage of the situation.

Shen Li reached into her bag and took out two somewhat wilted spiritual fruits that she had placed outside on purpose.

After all, the weather is so hot now. If you take out a juicy fruit, wouldn’t it be obvious that there is something wrong?

"Sister-in-law, eat some fruit and take a rest for a while."

"Thank you, Ali."

Xu Taohua took some pregnancy-preserving medicine and some spiritual fruit. After resting for a while, her complexion looked much better.

After the Sanli Village team gathered, everyone talked to each other in low voices. Many families had their food robbed. If it weren't for the large population in the families, there might be nothing left.

Shen Zhenyuan stood there, counting the families that came to join him one by one. Finally, he waited for another quarter of an hour, but there were still five families who had not caught up. Anyway, he looked at the team, gritted his teeth and set off.

At this moment, at the city gate, after the one-sided massacre, the ground was covered with blood and many bodies of refugees were lying on the ground.

These people were extremely skinny, with sunken nails, and their eyes were wide open before they died, which looked a little scary.

"Clean these up quickly."

"Yes."

After the leader left, the soldiers below complained, "We told these refugees not to stay at the city gate, but they didn't listen, forcing us to come out in the middle of the day."

"Yeah yeah!"

"Okay, stop whining and clean this place up."

Dozens of soldiers were left behind to put the people on the ground onto carts, and then pulled them to a large pit outside the city.

Before we even got close to the pit, we could smell a strong stench. There were countless mosquitoes and flies around, and there were already quite a few corpses in the pit.

Just looking at the skilled movements of these soldiers, you can tell that this is not the first time.

……

Due to the chaos just now, there were more people on the pipeline. Where there are many people, there will be trouble. Shen Zhenyuan sped up and surpassed many refugees in just one afternoon.

At night, they could only rest on both sides of the official road. As soon as the team stopped, Shen Zhenyuan called them away.

"Changshan, I didn't expect the situation in Jingzhou to be worse than that in Yizhou. It seems we have to hurry up and get out of Jingzhou before the water runs out."

Shen Changshan and Lin Hu also looked unhappy. As they went deeper into Jingzhou, they had a general understanding of the situation in Jingzhou.

Most of the trees on both sides of the official road have died, and the small forests have also dried up. Only in the mountains can a trace of green be seen.

Shen Changshan agreed with Shen Zhenyuan's approach. Although their family was not short of water, there were too many people in the team and he could not expose his daughter's secret.

If it really comes to that, he will have no choice but to leave the team with his family and go on his own, so that he can keep his daughter's secret.

"Fourth Uncle, we don't know much about Jingzhou, and we don't know which is the fastest way out of Jingzhou?"

"It's this road, but halfway through, there's a mountain road that's about three-tenths of the way. There used to be bandit trouble there. I wonder what the situation is like now?"

"Then hurry up and decide which way to go when you get there."

"Okay, I'll go inform everyone later."

When the people in the mountain village learned that they had to save water and hurry on their journey, they all fell silent, with a deep sense of helplessness in their hearts, but they understood that the clan leader/village chief was doing it for their own good.

Lin Cuicui cooked a pot of porridge for dinner. They had been traveling all day, and everyone’s mouths were dry and chapped.

The sun had already set by now, and Shen Li was thinking about simply separating from the Sanli Village team. It was too inconvenient.

Now that we have two horses and two mules, we can go alone. As for my grandfather and the Xu family, they can follow us if they want. Having more people can deter other refugees.

But there is no need to rush now, as we will encounter other conflicts later on in the road, so we will act accordingly.

Moreover, there are many good people in the Shen family, so we can travel with them for a while.

The horses and mules were chewing hay, and Shen Li quietly fed them water when it was completely dark.

Horses and mules are still very useful, so we must never mistreat them.

Maybe because there are too many refugees gathered around, the air in this area doesn’t smell good.

It looks like tonight is destined to be a restless night.

After dinner, due to the rush of travel today, everyone except the one who was on night watch had fallen into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, when people are most sleepy, the people on guard in the Sanli Village team were also dozing off.

Some people acted quietly. The moon was only half tonight and not very bright, but in the eyes of those who cared, that was enough.

These people did not act as a team, but individually, coming from all directions and heading towards a place that they had already spotted.

The targets of these people are all places where there are ox carts, of course including the Shen family.

In the dark night, three refugees came from different directions. They had long been eyeing this family. They had horses and mule carts. There must be a lot of food and water in the carts, otherwise they couldn't afford to feed these livestock.

He moved very gently, had beautiful thoughts and was very patient, but just as he placed his hand on the car curtain and put a happy smile on his face, he found his hand was pinched.
