Long before Ruyi spoke, Li Erlin and Li Ping'an found the five ox carts coming in their direction, and there were about 20 strong men with knives and sticks on both sides of the convoy.

In these years, those who can afford to use a few animals to pull carts are already rich families, not to mention that there are so many guards, and there are so many displaced people who have fled, and they dare to be so high-profile, it is conceivable that the identity of the person who came is not simple.

As soon as he heard Xiao Ruyi's shouting, Li Ping'an immediately went to cover her mouth and hugged her away. If it was just a small group of displaced people, they were not afraid, but they were stunned by the posture of this group.

Li Erlin also asked people to hurry up and ask the woman who was handling the prey to hide the prey, and bury the feathers and furs with soil to bury them densely. Although the convoy looks magnificent and is not necessarily short of food, who would dare to bet it. Although the number of strong men on their side is about the same, they have knives and serious weapons, and if there is a conflict, even if they are lucky enough to win, they will definitely suffer heavy damage.

The adults of each family also restrain their own children. There are no cattle in Xiaochen Village, but during spring and summer ploughing, the late old village chief Chen An can always borrow cattle from Zhengzhi, and every time the children will go to see the cows, they are so excited that they will scream. But now is not the time for them to make a big noise, lest they collide with the nobles and dislike them.

Not only children, but also adults lowered their heads and didn't dare to stare all the time, in this world of famine, they, the low-level people, dared to kill the mob that was staring at them, not to mention these big people who had their own identities? They could only silently pray in their hearts that this team would not stop at them.

However, God, this old man has always been fond of playing tricks on people, and he was afraid of what would come, so the slow convoy stopped not far from them, and then he saw two people coming out of the two sitting-ox carts, and the guards were divided into two teams, one team carried things down from the other ox cart, and the other team dispersed the guard.

Looks like they're supposed to spend the night here.

Li Ping'an felt bitter in his heart, the psychological pressure on them from this team was too great, like a tiger beside him, he didn't dare to think about how tired he would be from tensing his nerves all night.

At this time, I heard his grandfather whisper: "Those guards are not simple, they look like they are in the army, and they look like soldiers who have been on the battlefield." ”

The little old man is just not good at his body, but his brain is not confused, he is the only one in their team who has really fought on the battlefield, he has seen the world, he said that those guards are like soldiers in the army, Li Ping'an doesn't know whether others believe it or not, anyway, he believes it, his breath can't help but stagnate, and he hurriedly lowered his head again.

"Ruyi, do you remember the game that your eldest brother played with you that you can't talk loudly?"

Xiao Ruyi nodded and let out a "hmm" with her covered mouth.

"Big brother will play this game with you now, whoever speaks loudly first will lose, if you don't win or lose in the end, then you win, and when you can enter the city or meet a merchant, big brother will buy candy for Ruyi, okay?"

Xiao Ruyi nodded without thinking, Li Ping'an saw this, and let go of the hand covering her mouth, but as soon as he let go, Xiao Ruyi covered her mouth with her hand and looked at Li Ping'an with a smile.

Li Ping'an couldn't help but smile, "You can speak, but you can't speak loudly." ”

Xiao Ruyi didn't let go of her hand, and shook her head, she hadn't eaten caramel for a long time, she had to win.

……

The two sides do not disturb each other, and there is nothing to do with each other.

Slowly, Li Erlin and the others were much more relaxed on the surface, and the adults' restraints on the children were also relaxed, as long as they didn't run around and didn't make a lot of noise.

But the children were not happy, they were supposed to have meat to eat, but now they could only eat rice soup that was so thin that it could make people look at it.

After the dinner, the women washed the pots and pans, tidied up the belongings by the firelight, and the next morning, after hastily eating the breakfast that was still too rare to count the grains of rice, they left in a hurry.

Everyone went together, no one left, even if they didn't want to continue to flee, they couldn't stay in this barren mountains and mountains, the best thing was to find a county town to accommodate the homeless people and then make plans.

I thought that they would leave early and leave behind this large family, but when it came time to settle down in the evening, they were just ready on the front foot, and the people on the back foot also came.

"Cauldron, do you still play games?" Xiao Ruyi leaned over and smiled slyly.

She's a little clever ghost, yesterday the cauldron saw the ox cart master play games with her, and now they're here again, won't she be able to play games with the cauldron again, so that the cauldron owes her an extra piece of candy?

Li Ping'an rolled his eyes, "If you want to play, I'll play with you." ”

"It's not me, the eldest sister and the fourth brother also play together."

"...... "Count you ruthlessly," "Whatever you want." ”

Anyway, if you have a piece of caramel to eat, can you still give auspiciousness and prosperity?

Li Erlin was also very entangled at this time, those rabbit meat and chicken will stink if they don't eat it, let's salt it, and they can't hide it from the other side, but if they don't eat it tonight, it will be wasted when it stinks.

After unanimous discussion, for the sake of stability, it can only be wasted.

They almost wanted to drip blood in their hearts, and they knew that they would go with such a big man, and the day before yesterday they should not have coveted the uncertain wild boar and decided to rest for one more day, and they would not have met them if they left a day earlier.

Compared with their chagrin and caution, the people on the other side of the convoy were much calmer, and a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper looked around, and said to a middle-aged man with a smile: "Master, it's the group of people next to us when we landed last night." ”

"Do you still need to say it, I'm not blind!" The middle-aged man who was called the master also laughed, although he walked all the way, although he was a little more public, but the homeless people did not dare to approach them, they all hid far away, and they didn't even dare to follow them. It was the first time that he had met the same group of people at the place where he had settled for two days in a row, and they had arrived late, which made him find it quite interesting.

However, when he thought of the scene of the other party's hurried departure in the morning, he pondered for a moment and ordered: "Jia Le, go over and ask them where they are going." ”

The housekeeper Wang Jiale hesitated for a moment, but still answered, walked towards Li Erlin's side, and after a few words, he turned around and came back, "Master, they are the side branches of the Qingfeng Chen family, going to Yuezhou, and they are with us." ”

"It's a coincidence. Go again and tell them that there is no need to panic, that we are not the ones who burn and loot. ”

"Yes!"

Li Erlin was suspicious of the words brought by this self-proclaimed housekeeper of the Wang family in Fuping County, and his vigilance in his heart was never relaxed, but since the other party took the initiative to release his kindness, it was not good for him to continue to pretend to be cold.

His face softened, and he suddenly thought about it, didn't the plague that the draft girl said happened in Fuping County, could it be that they fled to escape the plague?
