Dong Chunlei said: "They must have heard the scream just now! Let's go quickly!"

Everyone was more frightened than seeing a dead person, and they ran away with all their lives. They didn't distinguish between your family and mine. Those who could hold their hands away helped carry the children and push the carts.

The Gouzi family following behind were all injured and ran slowly. No one helped push the cart, so they just threw the cart away and ran into the wasteland, but they were still caught up by the well-fed and drunk officers and soldiers.

Gouzi was pinned to the ground and screamed like a pig: "Don't catch me! There are hundreds of strong laborers in front of you. Go after them! Go after them!"

As everyone knows, when he mentioned a hundred or so strong laborers, these officers and soldiers became frightened. There were twenty of them, and they were divided into six or seven. Watching these three, how could a dozen people be the opponent of a hundred or so strong laborers?

?There are also elderly people, women, and children helping out.

Moreover, they are here to chase deserters, not specifically to catch these people.

Come on, let's capture these three strong laborers first. If we can't catch up with those deserters, we still have these three as enough to avoid being punished.

The women and children also cried loudly, hugging their men, but their father would not let go.

The officers and soldiers hit them with their scabbards and said, "Let go! Or I'll cut off your hands!"

Finally, amid the screams and cries of the women and children, Gouzi, Gouzi brother and his cousin were captured.

"My son, those who were stabbed a thousand times! How can an old woman like me live?"

"It's all those bastards, drive us out or arrest them!"

Gouziniang and Gouzi's sister-in-law cried and cursed each other, but in the end there was nothing they could do to the officers and soldiers.

Gouziniang is weak, confused, and doesn’t want to live anymore. She is a widowed mother, and her two sons and daughter have been taken away, how can she survive?!

Gouzi's sister-in-law hugged her eight-year-old and five-year-old sons, calmed down first, and said: "Mom, we only have women and children left, hurry up and chase the villagers. Maybe, please beg them, they can rescue Gouzi and the others.

"

Gouziniang knew that it was impossible to save Gouzi and the others and come back. Looking at the two grandsons and the weaklings in the sister's family, if they left by themselves, they would be eaten by other victims of the disaster.

No matter how much I resented the villagers for driving them out, now I had to swallow my anger and cry for help in order to survive.

So, an old man, a few women and a few children trotted to catch up with the large army in the village.

However, there were no traces of people in the village. In the middle of the night, dead bodies could be seen lying on the roadside in the wilderness at any time. Adults and children were so frightened that they cried.

Sister-in-law Gouzi thought of a way and shouted at the top of her voice as she walked: "Help, wait for us!"

She shouted and shouted louder and louder, and others shouted with her: "Help, wait for us!"

The people at the back of the large team were always paying attention to see if anyone was chasing them. When they heard the shouts, they went to the front of the team to report to Dong Chunlei and Dong Tieniu, "There are women and children calling for help. From the sound, it sounds like Gouzi's family."

people."

Dong Chunlei hesitated for a moment and asked Dong Tieniu: "Uncle, should we wait for them? If something happens, more than a dozen lives may be lost."

Dong Tieniu said: "Just now we heard the dog shouting for the officers and soldiers to chase us. Could it be a trap?"

Dong Chunlei pondered for a while and said: "I guess the dogs should have been taken away, leaving only the old, weak, women and children."

If you don't care, the consequences will be, of course, death, or being used as food for the hungry victims.

Dong Tieniu looked at Dongming Ziyu, "Si'er, what do you mean?"

Dongming Ziyu really couldn't leave a group of old, weak, women and children behind, and said: "There are so many of us, I guess the twenty or so officers and soldiers would not dare to chase us. In this case, I will take two people and hide in the ditch on the roadside."

Look secretly and if there are no officers and soldiers, send a signal and wait for them."

Higashikata said: "Just whistle, two short and one long."

Dong Chunlei said: "Okay, let my youngest son and grandson follow you."

Gao Da Zhuang said: "Let my eldest son follow."

When Dong Tieniu orders Dong Tien Niu, there will be grain to follow, so he cannot leave his family alone.

A few more have brought out their own strong labor force. If there is a trap, they can also fight to help escape.

Dongming Ziyu did not refuse. He had to make everyone feel involved and not form the habit of relying solely on his family.

A few people found a ditch on the side of the road and lay down in it, waiting for Gou Zi Niang and the others. When they saw that only the old, weak, women and children were left, with no officers or soldiers following them, they whistled at the large group.

Seeing several black figures coming out of the ditch, Gouziniang and the others screamed in fright, turned around and ran away.

Dong Chunlei’s youngest son Dong Shi said: “It’s us!”

Gouziniang paused, turned around, knelt down and kowtowed, "The Gouzi girls have been captured! Please, take us with you! If you don't take us, we will die."

Sister-in-law Gouzi also said: "We know we were wrong! We will never do anything immoral again. If we make mistakes again, you will drive us away and let us perish!"

The others also raised their hands and swore that they would not do anything harmful to the group.

Dongming Ziyu said quietly: "Let's go!"

When the large group heard the signal and knew that there was no danger, they stopped and waited for them. After regrouping, they continued to move forward.

Afraid that the officers and soldiers would go back and bring reinforcements to chase them, we didn't rest and moved forward with all our strength. We were hungry, our mouths were dry, and we had reached our limit.

While Shangguan Ruoli was waiting for Gouziniang and the others, he went into the space and filled three gourds of spiritual spring water on the pretext of convenience. He asked Ling Yue to bring a big gourd to Qian, and asked her to give each family member two sips.

Qian took the gourd and asked softly in confusion: "Why are there still so many? You didn't drink?"

Ling Yue said: "I drank from my mother's gourd."

Mrs. Qian knew that the fourth daughter-in-law was always hungry and thirsty, but she also saved food and water for the two children. She didn't suspect anything and asked everyone to pass the gourd around and let everyone take two sips.

Dongming Ziyu was thinking about how to find an opportunity to get some food and water from space, otherwise the team would die.

Everyone walked quickly, and at dawn, they entered King Kang's territory and saw a village in the distance.

It's not a village, it's the kind of village where one family has a big courtyard with many small courtyards inside.

Dongming Ziyu raised his hand, "Take a rest!"

"Hey!" Everyone reached their limit, and as if a switch was pressed, they suddenly sat down, leaning on each other and gasping for air.

Dongming Ziyu looked at Zhuangzi in the distance, "That should be Zhuangzi from a wealthy family. I'm going to check out the situation."

Everyone's eyes lit up, knowing that there might be a chance to win a big deal.

Dong Tieniu said: "A wealthy family may have a nursing home, so bring more people. Let your second brother, third brother and Da Lang go with you."

The eldest son has to stay and serve the old man. This is the rule.

Dong Chunlei ordered a group of five people and said to his youngest son: "Shitou, take this group with you."

Dongming Ziyu put on his hatchet and said to Qian: "Mom, give us a piece of cake. If something happens, we will have the strength to run."
