The first chapter travels to the road of escape
Dayong Dynasty, Yongxi years, late spring, Beidi went south!
Under the scorching sun at noon, on the mountain road from Yanzhou to Pingzhou Mansion, a group of people dressed in tatters and with anxious faces lined up in a messy line, old and young, walking unsteadily.
The spring breeze was sometimes loud enough to blow the people who could move forward, and apart from the occasional cry of young children on the mountain road, only the whirring pant and the crow 'croak' of crows hovering in the air remained......
Ruan Yue kept up with her family's footsteps a little indifferently, and if she slowed down a little, she would be ridiculed and abused by her uncle, blaming their family for slowing down their escape.
It's been three days, and she's been worrying every day for the past three days.
She regretted it all the time, if she had known that she would have answered casually 'Sign in!' She would have been taken to this dangerous and unfed place, and she would have preferred to die at that time!
As a food blogger with millions of followers, she thinks she can create her food empire wherever she goes, but the reality gave her a slap in the face, not to mention food here, in this era of war and chaos, it is enough for her to survive.
"A-Niang, be careful!" Ruan Yue saw her mother's mother Lu Chunniang's bulky body falling backwards due to pregnancy, and hurriedly grabbed her hand so that she could slowly fall to the ground without falling on the spot.
Ruan Yue breathed a long sigh of relief, but she was scared to death.
She laboriously helped Lu Chunniang to sit on the ground, carefully helped her stroke her stomach to relieve her discomfort, and asked in a trembling voice: "A-Niang, are you okay?" ”
"Ah Yue, I'm fine, don't be afraid!" She had exhausted her strength in just a few words, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her cheeks and soaked the placket of her clothes.
"Daddy!" Ruan Yue's frightened voice reached the front, and the team of more than twenty people suddenly stopped.
Ruan Yongqi was already tired and tired at this time, and he was instinctively trying to keep up with his family.
Hearing Ruan Yue's call, he rushed to Lu Chunniang's side with a slow reaction of half a beat, hugged Lu Chunniang, whose face was twisted due to pain, and was full of tears but did not dare to speak, and burst into tears in distress, he used his sleeve to help her wipe the sweat on her face, and asked in a trembling voice: "Chunniang, Chunniang!" Are you alright? ”
Without waiting for Lu Chunniang to answer, Ruan Yongqi looked at the gray-haired old man in the team and said pleadingly:
"Dad, mother, let's let Chun Niang rest for a while before leaving!"
"Then rest!" The old man was really embarrassed to see the appearance of his youngest son and daughter-in-law, and they had indeed been gone for a long time, so they needed to take a break and adjust.
There was a small forest not far in front of where they were, and there were already many people resting in it.
Ruan Yue and Ruan Yongqi worked hard together to help Lu Chunniang into the woods and find a shady place for her to rest against the big tree.
Mrs. Ruan also squeezed over, looked at Lu Chunniang's situation, and put her younger brother Ruan Ming, who had been sitting on the cart, next to Lu Chunniang.
The six-year-old child has been enlightened, and he is not noisy next to him, so he grabbed Lu Chunniang's hand, and the stubborn tears will not fall, which is even more distressing.
Lu Chunniang pulled a pair of children, closed her eyes for a while, and then opened her gentle eyes, facing Ruan Yongqi's anxious eyes, barely pulled out a soothing smile, and said, "Brother Qi, I'm fine!" ”
Ruan Yongqi wiped the tears that he didn't know when, unscrewed the water bag on his waist, handed it to her lips, and watched her drink it, and the heart he was holding was slightly lowered.
Seeing that Lu Chunniang's condition was a little more stable, Ruan Yuecai wiped the beads of sweat on her face with tears and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"System, come out!" Ruan Yue thought silently in her heart, just like she had called countless times in the past three days, but there was still no response.
She could feel the presence of the system, but she couldn't move it, it was the only thing she could rely on to break through the current situation!
It would be great if you could call the system out and see what it would do, and if it would help them escape.
The eldest uncle's impatient voice came from the side: "Dad, this is always resting, resting, when can we escape to Pingzhou." Do you see that there are still people from our village next to you? On weekdays, at home, you don't care about the third child, but now you are still so used to them, do you want our family to die together without a place to be buried? "The eldest aunt is already spicy, and at this juncture of rushing to escape, she doesn't care about anything and dares to say anything.
"Old man, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" Mrs. Ruan had just sent the child over, and she was really angry when she heard her some shameless words: "Usually the third child doesn't help you less, but now you don't feel panicked when you say this?" Now is the time for the three of you brothers to work together, who is foolish again, don't blame me for tearing her mouth! ”
The eldest aunt was scolded by Mrs. Ruan, and she didn't dare to shout loudly anymore, but she muttered in a low voice without giving up: "A group of harmful spirits will be killed by you sooner or later!" ”
"What are you muttering? If you want to be louder, I'm not deaf! Mrs. Ruan's eyes were still very clear, and she suddenly glared at her, and the eldest aunt's heart suddenly burst out, and the old lady's perennial prestige made her feel frightened.
She secretly glared back unwillingly, turned her head to look for her man, and saw Boss Ruan guarding the cart, frowning, not knowing what she was thinking.
On the edge of the forest, everyone hurried to rest, drink water, and eat dry food, so as to ensure that they had the physical strength to go to the next gathering place for a while, and if they were left alone at night, it would be difficult to survive.
Because at night, not only will there be fierce beasts in the mountains, but there will be more terrible than wild beasts - man-made disasters!
Ruan Yue looked at the three of her current closest relatives under the tree, her eyes gentle.
In his previous life, he was an orphan and did not experience the care and love of his relatives.
The reason why she came here was because her fiancé and best friend were grinding their ears and temples on the marriage bed she was preparing, and she was hit by her when she came back from a business trip, and after a big fight with them, she was hit by a runaway car when she went out......
After coming here for three days, the love of her parents and the dependence of her younger brother made her realize what kind of family affection is dissolved in blood, and she had the urge to protect them well.
It's a pity that her current body is not as good as the body that has been practicing Tai Chi before, and she is out of breath after walking a few steps, and it is estimated that she can't even pick up a frying spoon.
Ruan Yue secretly spurned, if she had the opportunity, she would definitely train her body well, and she also wanted to return to her food business after getting through the difficulties, and take her family to live a worry-free life.
As for the divorced fiancé mentioned by A-Niang in the past two days, she is even more disgusted with men in her heart, and she doesn't want to waste her energy on men in her life!
But now the sick and weak father, the mother in the third trimester, and the young brother, in this chaotic world, this combination is really certain to die.
No wonder the eldest aunt looks at them everywhere unpleasantly......
Lu Chunniang, who was resting against the trunk of the tree, let out a suppressed cry of pain, diverting everyone's attention to that side.
Ruan Yue hurriedly helped her and asked, "A-Niang, what's wrong?" ”
Lu Chunniang looked at the family members around her in embarrassment, and said in a trembling voice: "I, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth." ”
