After thinking about it like this, the people who were still holding the luck mentality suddenly couldn't sit still, they packed up their things, followed the people of the same village or their relatives with their families, and pushed the cart out of the village together.

When they really embarked on the road to escape, the people who were still struggling with whether their decision was right or wrong soon began to congratulate themselves on their quick decision.

Because, on the way to escape the famine, they saw many squires, wealthy merchants and officials' families.

Although these people are surrounded by families and guards, they will not let ordinary people easily approach, but the fact that they left their hometowns with their families is enough for these ordinary people to see some problems clearly.

Yu Zizhen had the leaders selected in advance remind them that these ordinary people who did not have much food on hand had started their extreme food saving mode.

Except for the very young children, the elderly, and the pregnant women, ninety percent of the rest of the family's daily rations are wild vegetables, grass roots, and young leaves that they find from the roadside and the woods, which are not particularly unpalatable.

Occasionally, when you encounter rivers and lakes that can catch fish, or if you are lucky enough to catch hares and pheasants in the wilderness, you are reluctant to fill your stomach with the fish and meat.

They would be emboldened to find the families of the squires, wealthy merchants, and officials, and exchange fish and meat for salt, pickles, or coarse grains.

After about half a month of running through this way, people in the team began to collapse from exhaustion, hunger, thirst, and heat.

However, before they could panic, on both sides of the official road where they were marching forward, there was already a mysterious team with carts, horses and supplies, selling food, water and other supplies to the fleeing people, and also accompanied the team with doctors and medicinal herbs, which could be paid to treat people.

These teams are all fighting the same flag, and almost everyone in the team is strong, very powerful at a glance, and most importantly, they also blatantly carry weapons with them, once someone robs, this group of people will simply and neatly beat people and even kill people.

With such a strong approach, and the courage and ability to deliver supplies under such circumstances, the victims almost immediately decided that this group of people must have a good background.

However, this group of people with a lot of backgrounds sold materials that surprisingly did not offer sky-high prices.

A bucket of water is ten yuan, the bucket is big and deep, full of water, a family of ten saves some use, even drinks and cooks, it is no problem to use it for two days.

Although the price of grain has risen, the increase has been unexpectedly low.

There are no mixed stones, sediment, straw, and no moldy and spoiled old coarse grains, regardless of type, the price is unified at 50 wen a bucket (about 14 catties), which is 3 to 5 wen cheaper than when they bought grain in the town and county before they fled the famine, not to mention the current soaring grain prices.

Medicinal herbs, cloth, salt, sugar, wine, etc., are only two to three percent more expensive than before the drought hits.

On the whole, this price increase can be said to be quite conscientious.

Of course, this is only the thoughts of those people at the bottom.

Those wealthy merchants who bought japonica rice, white flour, meat, vegetables and other delicate foods from this caravan were all slaughtered several times without exception.

This is not the most speechless thing for them, what makes them speechless the most is that this caravan is still selling cheap water and coarse grains in limited quantities!

In addition to the guaranteed aged grain of one bucket per household is 50 wen per bucket, and the guaranteed water per bucket per household is 10 wen per bucket, and you want to buy more later, then they will not ship it to you at this price.

For all the parts that exceed the limit, this caravan will directly double the price for you without ambiguity.

This price is not a pit at the moment, after all, since the large-scale outbreak of the drought, the prices of the towns and counties they pass along the way have also been rising non-stop.

Now if you go to a random town or county town and ask, the price is basically the same as the price offered by this caravan.

But the problem is that they obviously sell the old grain cheaply to those mud legs! Even some mud legs can't get enough copper plates, and they will accept the other party's barter as appropriate.

How much can a person be worth in these years? It is no exaggeration to say that if it had not been for this strange caravan that suddenly appeared to disrupt the market, those who heard the wind and were wandering among the victims at this time would have already exchanged half a bag of rice grain for a handsome and well-aged little girl and little boy.

But now? Not only could they not make this lucrative deal, but because they had exposed their intention to buy people, they were scanned back and forth with extremely unfriendly eyes by those caravan members.

Although the group of guys didn't directly threaten, just their terrifying eyes full of threats were already very unbearable.

For the sake of their own lives, they had to temporarily dispel some bad thoughts in their hearts.

And those poor people, who had indeed reached the end of the mountain and the water, had to sell their children and daughters, and beg for themselves and their children to survive, all received twenty taels of silver from the caravan.

Of course, to be able to exchange so much silver, it must be carefully selected by the caravan and feel that they are indeed worth the price.

As for some of the men who were in front of their caravan and shouted "I have money" and insisted that they not engage in a limited set of eye-catching bags, the strong men in the caravan were very simply playing scoundrels.

"You have money? It's good to be rich. If you have money, you can buy more good things. While speaking, the other party also carried a large bag of japonica rice priced at one and a half pieces of silver, and threw it in front of those Xianyan bags, "Ten taels, Chenghui." ”

Eyes Bags:.

Seeing that they didn't react, the other party threw over a large wicker basket full of salted jerky, "The best three-layer pork belly is still marinated in advance with fine salt and cooked and dried, and a basket only costs one hundred taels." How many baskets do you want? ”

The corners of the eyes and bags twitched wildly: I'm sorry, they brought humiliation on themselves.

Similar scenes happened from time to time on every escape route that Yu Zizhen and they had planned in advance, and the people who really couldn't live those days, because of the existence of this caravan, had some confidence and hope in their hearts.

Although many of them chose to sell their children and daughters on this road, at the very least, they found a way to live for themselves and their children through this means.

The separation of flesh and blood is painful, but where is this pain better than watching one's loved ones die in front of one's eyes?

Who wants to die if they can live?
