Zheng Guizhen's eyes were a little flustered. He pointed to the back, where there were several scarred deserters. They gasped, their eyes revealing the uneasiness of the aftermath of the catastrophe.

A checkpoint has been set up at the ferry port to collect sky-high boat fares. Rich people in the past. Many people who could not afford to flee settled in the vicinity, waiting for the mercy of the government or the soldiers to let them pass.

But at night, when the soldiers were resting, numerous robbers and bandits came and robbed many of the fleeing people. If you don't keep up, just kill them. The men escaped, but fell and were injured along the way, narrowly missing their lives. ”

Shen Yunxi was dumbfounded, she guessed. The government made a pact with the bandits to catch those who had fled the famine.

This is a world where people eat people, and the world will fall into chaos.

The situation was critical, Shen Yunxi looked at the people behind him, they were all nervous and scared. She pointed to a cave not far away and said to them, "Go and rest in the empty cave, and I'll bring you dumplings later."

One of them was very grateful. They lost all their possessions in the process of escaping. "Thank you for taking us in."

"Da Niu, go to the village chief again, say hello to the village chief, ask how the situation is, and then think about your future plans." Shen Yunxi has no right to make decisions on such an important matter.

Tian Daniu was also worried that the bandits would catch up, and it would be even more difficult to escape. "I'll tell the village chief now."

The men limped into the cave with each other.

Zheng Guizhen was also helped into the cave and washed her feet with warm water. Her cold body gradually calmed down.

Tian Qiaoling and Tian Junling took boiling water and vegetable dumplings. "Mother, don't be afraid, we were lucky to escape."

Zheng Guizhen drank the water and was very happy. Later, he was scared again: "Fortunately, your fourth aunt and the village chief decided not to live near the ferry, otherwise we women and children would all be arrested." I've heard that men are sent to mines, young women are sold into dirty places, and older women are sold into slavery in rich homes. The ending will be tragic and we cannot be caught. ”

Shen Yunxi looked out solemnly. Although it didn't rain, it didn't clear either, and the ground was muddy. Now the road is not easy to walk. They want to escape, but how far can they escape?

"Fourth brother and sister, what should we do?" When Zheng Guizhen was full, she looked a little better and leaned against the fire. Her whole body was warm.

Shen Yunxi didn't know, everyone was staring at her. She was unable to show her panic and fear. She smiled slightly. "Sister-in-law, wait for the village chief to discuss. There's always a way. We can escape one catastrophe, and we can escape countless times. ”

Tian Xiuli listened and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother, will the robbers catch up here?" The road outside is muddy. If it rains, we won't be able to go far. My sister is still sick. If you are not in good health, it will be more serious when you are in a hurry. ”

Shen Yunxi thought for a while and said slowly: "We can't go fast, and those robbers are also slow." It was clear that they could guard near the ferry crossing so that they could catch a steady stream of victims. They shouldn't have hunted us down in the mountains. ”

Zheng Guizhen looked at a few people in the tree hole not far away, and nodded: "Fourth brother and sister, you are right. If the robbers insist on arresting, those people will not be able to escape. We are safe here for the time being. ”

Although the person was not as scared as before, their eyes were still foggy.
