After the group helped each other out of the broken temple for dozens of meters, they were relieved to see that no official had caught up with them to find a name to embarrass them.

The surrounding victims were scolding: "A group of bastards, they know how to bully us, they drove us out this half afternoon, where do you want us to stay?" ”

After settling down for a few days, they were driven away again, and their hearts were very uncomfortable.

After scolding, the victims became confused again, looking at the outskirts of Pingchuan, not knowing where they could go in this big world?

A few days ago, after everyone came to break the temple and settle down, Qin Lao took Qin Erlang and Qin Sanlang to walk around the neighborhood, and he was already familiar with the nearby terrain, stood in place for a while, pointed to a path on the right, and said: "Go this way, follow this path through four villages, and then climb a mountain, you can get to the official road, and after walking on the official road for a few hours, you can reach the border of Yuchang Mansion." ”

Several families had no objection to Qin Lao's words, and nodded one after another: "We listen to your old man." ”

The surrounding victims also heard Qin Lao's words, and seeing that he was so familiar with the route, some disaster victims surrounded him, Qin Erlang directly took out his machete, looked at them coldly, and said, "If you don't want to die, don't come!" ”

These victims had seen the ruthlessness of their group, and when they heard Qin Erlang's words, they looked at his cold face again, and hurriedly stood still, not daring to step forward.

Among the victims, two old men wearing old jackets and gray hair boldly took two steps forward, and said to Qin Lao: "This old brother, we have no malicious intentions, we just want to ask, where are you going next?" If it's convenient, can you have a partner? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a group of victims behind him and said, "We have about 50 people, surnamed Lin and Zhou, all of whom are responsible people with families and mouths, and they will not harm you or cause you trouble." ”

What Gu Jinli and his party did, they have always looked at it, and felt that although this group of people is old and young, they are very fierce, and they have the ability to protect themselves, but they will not bully others, which is very rare. If they can partner up to escape the famine, their life will be much better.

Qin Lao glanced at them, shook his head and refused: "There is no need to partner up, as for where are we going?" Naturally, it is going south, and there is only one way to go south, and if you want to follow it, we can't stop it. ”

After saying that, he ignored them, left with a few families, and walked to the path on the right.

Lin Zhou and the two old men were very happy, and hurriedly beckoned to the family members behind them: "Follow quickly." ”

Although Qin Lao refused to partner with them, he did not forbid them to follow, which is a good thing.

Lin Zhou's two families hurriedly dragged their families to follow, but Zhou Lao and Lin Lao were very measured, and they did not follow too closely, but opened a distance of more than ten meters with Qin Lao and them, so as not to annoy Qin Lao and them.

Seeing this, the rest of the victims who came out of the ruined temple followed suit.

Chen saw the disaster-stricken person following behind them, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Old Qin, why do you let them follow?" What if they come and steal our things? ”

She kept her money and water tightly for fear of being robbed by the victims.

Qin Lao said: "With Wu Da's matter in front, they don't dare to rob us, they will only respect us." ”

People are like that, if you are cowardly, they will bully you. If you are ruthless, they will fear you and even respect you.

"Respect us?" Chen didn't believe it: "You're always talking nonsense, can they respect us?" ”

Qin Lao said: "You'll know later." ”

Chen, no matter how much you tell her, it will not be useful for her to believe you unless she suffers a disaster herself, or after she has received benefits.

Half an hour later, they walked to the end of the path and saw a village, but the villagers were afraid of the victims, so they asked the strong men of the village to stop them at the entrance of the village and prevent the victims from entering the village.

However, there are several water tanks at the entrance of the village, which can be sold to the victims.

Water is very expensive, two taels of silver for one jar, similar to robbing silver, Gu Jinli and his family hesitated for a while, but they still paid for three jars of water.

Although the rest of the victims were in pain, they knew the preciousness of water and pooled their money to buy it.

After buying water, they continued their journey around the village, and finally came to the foot of the mountain near evening.

The third grandfather and Qin Lao saw that it was getting late, so they said: "Stop, let's spend the night here tonight, and continue to hurry tomorrow morning, climb over this mountain, and go to the official road." ”

Chen was afraid of death, and when he thought of what the head of the government servant team said, he hurriedly shouted: "The officers and soldiers are coming tomorrow morning, let's go again tomorrow, won't we be beaten to death by the officers and soldiers?!" ”

Qin Lao said: "Even if the officers and soldiers come, they will search near the suburbs, and they will not catch up with us all at once, we will get up a little earlier tomorrow and rush early in the morning, and we will not be caught up by the officers and soldiers." ”

Those officers and soldiers are not so idle, as long as the victims do not stay outside the city of Yuchangfu, they actually don't care.

"Really? Old Qin, don't lie to us. As soon as Chen's words were finished, Gu Dagui roared: "What is it true? Hurry up and help the third aunt cook. ”

She doesn't do business every day, she only asks questions, do you know that everyone is annoyed with her talking? His face was almost lost to her.

Several families pooled money together to buy food, and paid money according to the head, and when they ate, they also ate according to the head. The food is managed by the third grandfather, and when it is time to cook, the third grandfather will take out the food to the third grandmother, and let the third grandmother bring several women to cook together.

Chen was afraid that others would steal food, so he was very active in cooking every time, and when he heard Gu Dagui's words, he found the third grandmother and asked her for food to cook.

In addition to pooling money to buy food with everyone, the Gu Jinli family, the Luo family, and the Qin family also took out money to buy some food for their own families to save in case of emergency.

The other victims also stopped, and saw their families cooking, and they were so hungry that they swallowed their saliva, but they didn't dare to have any bad intentions. These families are so fierce that even a ten-year-old girl dares to use a dagger to break the hands and tendons of adults, but they can't be provoked.

After watching for a while, the victims scattered and went around in search of food.

Gu Jinli was not idle, and took Luo Huiniang and Tian Xiaohua into the mountains to find all kinds of things to eat, as well as medicinal herbs.

"Wait, I'll go with you." Gu Jinan tied a small sack around his waist, took a firewood knife, and caught up with them.

Gu Jinli knew that Gu Jinan was frightened by her actions in the broken temple, so he wanted to follow her and protect her at the critical moment to prevent her from being stained with blood again.

She wanted to say that it was very unnecessary, but knowing that Gu Jinan's temper was a little stubborn, she had to nod and smile: "Okay." "A group of four people went into the mountain.

Gu Jinxiu wanted to go with them, but she had to take care of Brother Cheng, and she was afraid that she would be too weak and drag Gu Jinli back, so she stayed with the Cui family and them honestly.

The two girls of Gu Damu's Gu Dalin family were too young, and Gu Jinli didn't take them, for fear that if something happened, he wouldn't be able to protect too many people.

As for Gu Yumei, the girl from the village chief's family didn't like her very much, and she didn't play with them, so she didn't call her, so as not to be bored.

The disaster situation in Yuchang Mansion is not as serious as that of the seven provinces in the northwest, and there is a lot of food that can be found, and the four of them went around the mountain and found a bundle of green and yellow wild vegetables.
