Doreen did not find her brother in the open space outside the Longyan Cave, but she found her two younger sisters, who were not even ten years old, and the three sisters hugged each other and wept bitterly.

The person who got up to talk to Liu Yu in the cottage was an old man in his fifties whose body was still trembling, the old man looked very haggard, and even the yellow turban on his head was dyed gray and black by firewood ash, and his clothes were also torn.

"Thank you...... Your...... Helping each other ......"

The old man's voice trembled, and his body trembled, as if he would be blown away by the wind at any moment. After half a day, Liu Yu understood that the old man was a village chief-like figure from the village, and in the words of the Beiyue people, he was "Daqiu", which was similar to the meaning of the chief. And Liu Yu looked at the entire open space, and only this "Daqiu" was the only one who came up alive when he was old. This shows that he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a man at least, and he is the kind of chief who hides behind him for fear of death.

Liu Yu touched his chin and felt that this old immortal was very similar to him.

Liu Yu also said his origin, saying that he was attacked by mountain bandits when he was passing through this place on business, and then he did not hide the following things, and he said that he was moved by Duo Lin's sincerity to come to save the village. Liu Yu was talking about Duo Lin, and at this time, Duo Lin suddenly let go of her two younger sisters and wanted to go around the mountain and run down the mountain.

"Doreen, what are you doing?" Liu Yu asked.

"I ...... I'm going to find Brother, Brother may still be alive......" Doreen was a little out of control, she wanted to go down the mountain to buy needlework and thread in the morning, but a tragedy happened in the village, she didn't even see the last side of her brother, she blamed herself along the way.

Liu Yu felt that this girl dared to take responsibility. Now my brother is dead. She always felt that she didn't protect her brother well. In Liu Yu's opinion. Doreen is more responsible than this old immortal Daqiu.

"Don't go." Liu Yu asked people to stop Duo Lin and explained, "If your brother can survive, he will definitely escape by self-preservation." Now it's more important to get out of here, those bandits will come back at any time, and they were only scared for a moment just now. We've run out of two powerful weapons, and if the bandits come back, your two sisters might die too. As an older sister. Shouldn't you protect your sister? ”

In times of crisis, it is necessary to give people who are confused and desperate a sense of responsibility, so that she knows what she is living for, which will not only give her more courage to live, but also let the people around her be emotionally inspired by her.

Liu Yu knew this, so what he asked Doreen to do was to protect her two younger sisters.

Sure enough, when Doreen thought that her two younger sisters were lonely and had no one to take care of, and they were all looking at her sister with their eyes on her, she couldn't care about going to her brother anymore. Liu Yu saw that she didn't admit death so much, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He said to the old man: "Old Daqiu, should we hurry down the mountain?" Don't go again. The mountain bandits will come as they say. ”

"Said...... Extremely, what is said...... It's very ......" The old man smiled and complimented him twice, and then the person suddenly fell to the ground, and a pool of blood gushed out behind him, it turned out that the wound was ruptured and bleeding profusely, plus the old man was weak and ran so far. The whole person was lying on the ground, only a faint breath remained, Liu Yue felt his pulse, and the person was already hopeless.

Originally, Liu Yue thought that this old immortal was finally dead. But the whole village began to grieve over the old man's death, and it was evident that Daqiu had a high status in their hearts, like a spiritual leader.

One by one, they cried more sadly than the death of their own relatives.

"Don't cry!" Liu Yu listened to these people who were mostly women and children crying, and he was a little upset, and shouted, "When is this happening, do you want your family and Lao Da to die without turning a blind eye?" Hurry up and get out of here, save your life, and continue the bloodline of your village, this is what Lao Daqiu wants to see......"

Liu Yu said, and the people in the village were all looking at Liu Yu in amazement, and Liu Yu remembered that the language was incomprehensible. Doreen said on the road that there are few people in the village who can understand the Han language, and these are basically women and children, and they are rarely among the "few people".

Duo Lin wiped her tears, got up and translated Liu Yu's words, these people only knew what Liu Yu said when they heard Duo Lin's explanation, they were also sensible people, and they all nodded in agreement after hearing the words.

Then Doreen beckoned, and both the women and children and the men who were originally guarding the mountain began to carry the rations and burdens they had brought out from home, and stood up together to prepare to go down the mountain, although the women and children were still crying, but they didn't seem so sad.

"My people have suffered too much lately." Duo Lin came over and said to Liu Yu, "My people are going south to find Bai Yue's people, hoping to take refuge in them." ”

"Bai Yue?" Liu Yu heard this term for the first time, and he didn't understand it very well.

Duo Lin pointed to her headscarf and said, "It's the Yue people who wear white Habu, we are from the same line, and they once hoped that we Huang Yue could join them, but Daqiu brought us here to settle down." Now the people have suffered a calamity and have to flee to ...... They may not take ......"

Speaking of this, Doreen looked very sad again.

Liu Yue thought to himself that most of the survivors of Huang Yue now are just women and children, so they defected to Bai Yue, it was really cheap for Bai Yue's people, how could Bai Yue's people not take them in?

Later, Liu Yu understood that among the ethnic minorities in Lingnan, because the farming conditions are underdeveloped, strength is the productive force that determines the development of the ethnic group, and men are the greatest wealth, while women and children are "money-losers". None of the ethnic groups were willing to take in the women and children of other ethnic groups, which meant that they had to increase their food rations for nothing.

Liu Yu comforted Duo Lin, and by the way, he was also ready to go down the mountain with them, and expressed his willingness to escort them for a ride.

When the group came down from the mountain, they could see a fire burning in the direction of the original village from a distance, which should be a retaliatory act of the mountain bandits. Liu Yu took a look with a telescope, there were a lot of figures shaking in the direction of the village, it should be a large area of mountain bandits coming over again, and found that the people in the village were evacuated, plus their original casualties were serious, and they were setting fires everywhere to vent their resentment.

The people in the village did not stop, they also knew that the danger of the road would come at any time, and the group went down the mountain and walked for more than ten miles, and they still couldn't stop at night, after all, it wouldn't take too long if the mountain bandits tracked it. And Liu Yu is also a little embarrassed, because the guide only knows one road, and these mountains in Lingnan are complicated, and once you get lost, you may not be able to find the original road.

"Big boss, let's get back to the right path as soon as possible." The guide persuaded Liu Yue, and his meaning was basically the same as that of Lian Husheng, which was to persuade Liu Yue to give up these alien people earlier.

"Wouldn't it be better to walk together and take care of multiple copies?" Liu Yu said, "It's hard to go back to the original way now, even if we can find it, those mountain bandits can easily track us, that's really unwise behavior." (To be continued......)
