"Ahem."

Silently withdrew his hand, looked away, and pretended not to see.

Cheng Mingyi is a clever person, how can he not know his movements, but he just doesn't care; A face is dirty enough, and it doesn't matter how dirty it is.

I figured it out, I lost my psychological burden, and let myself go.

Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya walked behind, looking at the two children in front of them, holding hands and walking happily, it is not bad to have this mentality on the way to escape from the famine.

Chen Daya just wanted to make fun of a pair of children, but she didn't want to, and the commotion in the rear became more and more intense; The two hurriedly grabbed the two children, and under the puzzled gaze of Cheng Mingyi's brother and sister, the couple stopped and looked back at the place where the riot had occurred.

Eight hundred meters behind, around the corner, a group of soldiers riding tall horses, armed with broadswords and spears, swarmed and blocked the way by the refugees.

"Not good." Cheng Yuanxi is holding his wife with one hand and his daughter with the other, and his son is in the hands of Chen Daya.

In his thinking, it would be miserable for his wife and daughter to be lost, no matter what era; Women will always suffer more than men, especially in troubled times.

Therefore, whenever there was danger, he held his wife and daughter tightly.

It's not that I don't love my son, but the reality is so.

"Mingli, take your mother's hand." Cheng Yuanxi only came to tell this sentence, and pulled his wife and children closer to his father.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan also brought their families over.

The people of Cheng Dazhu's vein are all together.

Cheng Dazhu glanced at them, and his heart was a little relieved, "It's good to be here, the third child, no, Mingyi goes; Quietly find the patriarch and the village chief, and quickly let the people of the clan run to the mountains, these people are very likely to come to recruit soldiers. ”

"Okay." The situation was urgent, and Mingyi ran to the place where the patriarch and the village chief were; And Cheng Dazhu shouted to his three sons to carry large bags and small bags on their backs, especially when the food was not left at all, and quickly took the family into the mountains and forests.

When the people of the tribe saw this, some of them followed smartly, and some of them did not react, and they didn't know what to do.

"Patriarch, village chief, quick! My grandfather let his people go into the mountains and forests; Those people may have come to conscript. Cheng Mingyi pulled the two of them to explain, turned around and followed the back of his family and rushed into the mountain.

At this critical moment, it's not that they don't want to let the clansmen in, but they also have wives, families, and children; As a last resort, you can only protect your close family members first, and then think about your clansmen when you have the spare power.

The patriarch panicked, where had he seen this battle?

I have never met officers and soldiers on the way to escape from the famine, and I have no experience for the first time, so I am at a loss.

"Panic what." The village chief calmly turned back to his family and the patriarch's family: "You go first to the mountains, and we will organize the people in the clan; Don't panic, take your daughter-in-law and children at home. ”

"Dad, then you guys come along."

"I stayed with my father, who is old and can run on his back when he can't run." The village chief's family was only in his early thirties, and he was young and strong, so he listened to the village chief's words and took the initiative to ask to stay.

The patriarch took a deep breath, barely stabilized his mind, and forced himself to calm down and said to his family: "Listen to the village chief, follow into the forest, don't stay; Keep going inside and go to find the Dazhu family. ”

"Good!"

The two families supported each other and walked, bringing their own things and food; As for the car, it was all thrown away, and the mountains and forests couldn't take the car away.

Seeing that the family members squeezed out of the crowd and went to the mountains, the patriarch and the village chief, as well as the elders and children of the village chief's family, hurriedly informed the clansmen to evacuate to the mountains, and threw away the carts and large items except for food.

The people in the patriarch didn't react at first, but after listening to the words of the patriarch's village chief, some people came back to their senses and hurriedly responded; There are also those who can't bear the things in their hands that can't be carried clearly, and they are severely drunk by the village chief.

"When is it, don't alarm the others, quickly retreat to the mountain."

"But."

"No, Dashan, take this one from you."

The strong man named Dashan nodded Hanhan, picked up his food, and left with a woman in one hand and a half.

More than 30 families of the Cheng family evacuated in a hurry, which attracted the attention of many people; Among them were the people from the two villages before and after, and some people from those two villages pondered for a while, and after looking at the back, they knew that things were not good, and called for their families to leave.

However, they also understand that the movement should not be too large; Otherwise, if the soldiers behind are lured over, none of them will be wanted to leave.

The patriarch, the village chief, and the village chief's family elders walked into the mountains in a messy manner in the crowd.

There were too many people, and the villages behind them also retreated, whether it was right or wrong; So many people went to the mountains, and they ran away.

This thing was too big, and the soldiers eight hundred meters away immediately became angry when they saw the people who were swarming away.

"Where people stand, don't run!"

"Go to a group of people and stop them."

"Yes!"

A group of ten people galloped away on horseback.

When some people saw that this was wrong, they had the strength to drag and drag, pulling their relatives to run quickly; Clothing and food can be left behind, so many bags and food bags are left on the road.

The people of the Cheng clan quickly converged after entering the mountain forest, but they did not dare to stay; They had to be forced to keep walking, and when they walked into the mountains, they heard the mountainside crying and shouting, and they didn't dare to stay.

There are many people who follow Cheng.

Those who had just arrived at the mountainside were all pulled back, and those who entered the deep mountains were considered to have escaped; Soldiers don't dare to go too deep into the mountains, in the year of famine, there are too many wild beasts in the deep mountains, and they are too vicious, and the hungry beasts don't care about human beings, they just want to have a full meal.

The soldiers did not dare to take risks, anyway, they went into the barren mountains in the famine years, and the chances of trying to get out of the mountains again were almost zero.

"All the strong men you catch will be taken away, and not a single one will be left."

"Hurry up, all men get up, men over ten years old, men under forty years old follow."

The soldier slapped the men on the back one by one with a knife, urging them all to take them away.

"Official, you are good, don't arrest my man and son; How can we live when they are gone, the old old, the little one. Sir, be kind, don't take them away. ”

There was a woman who knelt down and cried and begged, and other old and weak women and children knelt down and begged, and the scene was full of crying for a while.

miserable, miserable, and heart-rending.

The soldiers were also in trouble, and they were given the task of conscription; All men who are over 10 years old and under 40 years old must be brought back on the way to escape the wilderness.

are all sons, so they naturally know the difficulties of the family without a pillar.

However, they also have their tasks.

"Don't cry, the men all go to war, and when they become famous, with their military exploits, your whole family will have a good life."

"Whoever is crying, we will kill whomever we want."

An older soldier raised his spear and picked off a little girl, and the spear was strung with the girl's body, and blood was sprinkled on the ground, staining the ground red.

The old and weak women and children were bluffed and cried, but they did not dare to cry loudly again, let alone beg each other.
