"Oh, now I can't get into the city if I don't have any money, and I may encounter mountain bandits when I go back, this ...... What should we do? ”

Seeing that the village chief couldn't help it, Liu Yao unconsciously looked at his two children, and then his eyes fell on Xiang Jiuling, only to see that although her face was unhappy, she didn't have any panic, thinking that her life was also saved by her, she immediately asked.

"Sister Xiang, you ...... Do you have any good ideas? I...... Our family really can't come up with that much money! ”

As soon as he heard his mother take the initiative to ask, Liu Shuangshuang's eyes instantly fell on Xiang Jiuling, with eyes full of anticipation.

To be honest, Xiang Jiuling also earned a lot of money some time ago, and it was enough to pay for a family of five to enter the city, but ...... There are so many people, what should they do?

In the end, he fled all the way, to say that watching these people fend for themselves, Xiang Jiuling couldn't bear it in the end.

"There are so many of us, we definitely can't get the money to go into the city, but it's impossible to go back."

Fleeing all the way, there are no supplies on the way, and it is useless to turn back, the best way is to find another place to settle down.

"In the past few days, I have checked the surrounding situation, there is a town around the county, where there are many mountains, forests and rivers and sparsely populated, if we can go there to settle down and spend the winter, we will make a decision next year!"

The village chief was stunned, and he didn't expect Xiang Jiuling to do so many things in the past few days, but he still had some hesitation in his heart, "This is naturally good, but there are many bandits around here, will we ......?"

Those of them who have fled the famine are exhausted physically and mentally, where will they be the opponents of those savage bandits, if they leave the town and find a place to settle, it will not be a piece of fat in the eyes of the bandits?

"I've thought about it, but it's also a last resort, it's better than starving to death outside the city!"

With so many people, it is hopeless to live in the city, and there is no choice but to find another way to survive.

"Yes, village chief, it's a gloomy day today, I'm afraid it will rain at night, since we can't enter the city for the time being, it's better to find a place to shelter from the rain first!"

Liu Dashan came back from inquiring about the news and saw that the village chief had not yet made a decision, so he immediately suggested that he should take shelter from the rain first, after all, if he was sick at this time, he would suffer.

Of course, the village chief thought about it more, but he also knew that he had the final say in this matter alone, and most people still wanted to enter the city.

In times of crisis, people's hearts can be tested the most.

As soon as Liu Dashan took Liu Yao's things to pack up, he saw Mrs. Ji sneaking forward with Liu Dahu.

"Mother, where are you and your eldest brother going? It's going to rain, let's find a place to shelter from the rain, don't squeeze forward, hurry up and find a place! ”

The two who were found stopped a little nervously, turned their heads and saw Liu Dashan's family staring at them suspiciously, Liu Dahu smiled awkwardly, and was just about to speak but was interrupted by Mrs. Ji.

"O mountain, you ...... You don't have to worry about us, I'm ...... Your big brother and I will go to the front and have a look! ”

Seeing the two of them eagerly walking forward with their burdens, Liu Dashan couldn't help but be stunned, and then seemed to think of something, his eyes instantly condensed, and he already understood that these two people were going to sneak into the city behind their backs.

Liu Dashan has always been filial to Mrs. Ji, even if he saw Mrs. Ji bullying Liu Yao and Liu Shuangshuang on weekdays, he never thought that now when it was time for danger, his mother would abandon their family and take his eldest brother away.

"Mother, what do you mean by this? You ......"

Seeing that her mind was punctured, Mrs. Ji immediately revealed her true face, and looked at Liu Yao and Liu Shuangshuang who were holding the child with disgust, "Look at your family, where can we get so much money to go into the city, I ...... I'll go into the city with your eldest brother first, and then I'll ...... I'm going to find a way to get you into the city after that! ”

Liu Dashan never thought that his foolish mother would abandon him, and his face instantly turned black like the bottom of a pot.

Just wanted to speak, but Liu Dahu on the side pulled Mrs. Ji and was about to leave, "Let's go, mother, we can't protect ourselves now, it's too late to wait a while, if you can't get in, it's bad." ”

Liu Dashan stood in place in a daze, looking at the two backs that were getting farther and farther away, and his heart was cold.

Liu Yao was also a little uncomfortable and stood in place holding the child, tears unconsciously slipping down.

"Mother, don't cry, it's okay, we're a family together, and we will definitely get better in the future."

Liu Shuangshuang endured the discomfort in his heart, took Liu Yao's hand, and comforted him in a soft voice in a childish voice.

Listening to his daughter's sensible words, Liu Dashan finally came back to his senses, looking at the dense crowd, he couldn't see the two familiar figures, the hand on his side unconsciously clenched into a fist, there was no mother, he still had a wife and children, he couldn't just collapse, he had to cheer up.

"Alright, stop looking, pack your things!"

Many people unconsciously felt a touch of sadness when they saw this scene, but such things have long been common on the way to escape from the famine, and everyone has no sympathy for others.

Seeing that he couldn't enter the city and the wind was blowing, the village chief could only make a decision and gather all the people who wanted to follow the team together and go to a mountain forest.

Most of the people gathered outside the city gate had no money to enter the city, knowing that they could only wait for death if they stayed where they were, and those who had no money to enter the city and wanted to break in were beaten half-dead by the officers and soldiers, and now when they saw that they were leaving, they all followed.

Entering the dense forest, the materials inside are also relatively abundant, and you can also find some wild vegetables or wild things to satisfy your hunger along the way.

Since Xiang Jiuling warned last time, the Xiang Yue family has also been much quieter, and the three of them can't come up with the money to enter the city, and they don't dare to find Xiang Jiuling, so they can only silently follow the team.

After walking silently for most of the day, I didn't get to the place that Xiang Jiuling said, after all, there were many people, and the progress of the team was slow, so everyone could only find a place to rest for the time being, but fortunately, there were a few mountain walls that were spacious enough for everyone to rest.

Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi also took the child to rest under a mountain wall, she picked a lot of wild vegetables along the way, plus she could exchange supplies in the space, so the family was naturally guaranteed to eat and drink.

Seeing that they were about to enter the city, they were only one step away from stability, and it was helpless to follow the team, Xiangyue and Xiangli were often willing to do so, so they went everywhere to spread rumors that they had raised a white-eyed wolf, how unfilial they were, how cold-blooded.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Xiang Yue was still cursing Xiang Jiuling for being cold-blooded and ruthless, as long as he thought of those cold words, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, his face became extremely ugly, and his chest was full of inexhaustible anger.

Once upon a time, Xiang Jiuling, who used to only be submissive, actually became like this? Both of them wondered if this was their daughter after all.
