Wang's face completely darkened, and together with Xu Da, they struggled to press the rioting Xu Dalang into the mountain wall. The strength of their hands was a little lighter, and he was almost thrown away.
When Xu Yue saw this, she was almost crying. She wiped the two tears squeezed from her face and stretched out her two little hands to Xu Dalang: "Brother, hug me."
The rioting Xu Dalang calmed down. He carried Xu Yue in front of him like a baby and retreated to the innermost side of the mountain wall, guarding against anyone approaching.
Xu Da and Wang consciously pulled Xu Erniang to keep a distance from him. The couple wiped the hot sweat from their foreheads and looked at Xu Yue suspiciously.
"What's going on?" Wang asked in a low voice.
She didn't believe that her three children could be scared to tears by someone casually.
Xu Yue was a little helpless. Xu Dalang's reaction was indeed unexpected, but it also confirmed that her feeling was not wrong.
The protruding-eyed man looked at her like he was preying on someone else, otherwise he would not have aroused such a reaction from Xu Dalang.
Xu Yue tried her best to reveal her little head from her brother's tightly held arms and expressed her guess.
"Those nine people...maybe cannibals."
Xu Yue urged uneasily: "Mom, it's almost dawn, let's go."
After listening to Xu Yue's words, Xu Da's face darkened. He turned his head and looked outside. The twelve people gathered in front of the bulging-eyed man. They were discussing what they were talking about, and occasionally cast their eyes in their direction.
An unkind gesture.
Wang didn't hesitate too much and nodded immediately, "Let's leave now."
Regardless of whether the young lady's guess is true or false, they cannot afford to take the risk and can only avoid it.
"Wait a minute!" Xu Da turned around and said, "You guys pack up first. I'll ask Wang Dayou and ask them to go together."
Wang looked at him puzzled, is this necessary?
Xu Da nodded heavily, it was very necessary!
He gathered his family together and explained in a low voice why
There are bound to be more and more people fleeing to the mountains. Situations like today will definitely happen again. It's good that the number of people is relatively small. Don't provoke anyone.
But if they encounter a group like those twelve people, even if they take the initiative to avoid it, there is no guarantee that the other party will not attack them.
Once they meet a group of fugitives who don't have enough to eat, don't have enough clothes to wear, don't have enough water to drink, and are facing the threat of death, they will be no different than meeting a refugee army who does all kinds of evil.
"It's best not to have any expectations about human nature."
This is the advice of the great monk Xu who has been cultivating for hundreds of years and has witnessed countless murders and looting of treasures.
Xu Yue looked at her cheap dad in surprise, and suddenly felt that your dad was still your dad. This pattern and awareness really made people wonder what he had experienced in the past.
It was rare for Wang to look at him twice.
Xu Daxin said, now you know how powerful I am, right?
He raised his eyebrows slightly, brushed his messy and smelly bangs on his forehead, and pretended to be profound: "There is power in numbers, and power in numbers leads to power!"
Even if it doesn't have a deterrent effect by then, if there are so many cannon fodder around them, a group of people start running, and the enemy disperses to pursue them, their family's chance of survival will also increase, right?
"Alas, you don't understand even after I tell you. Just prepare yourself first and come back as soon as you go for your father's sake!"
Before Wang's flying fist hit his face, Xu Da stood on his tiptoes, turned around and ran away.
Xu Yue and her sister looked at each other, unavoidably a little worried about their cheap daddy. With his skin like this, he was not far away from A Niang's fatal arrow.
Mrs. Wang led the children to get busy. They ate the leftover meat from last night's roast in the dark. Each of them took a small piece to pad their stomachs, so as to maintain their strength and reduce their burden a little.
After eating, there was only one clay pot, five broken bowls, a piece of salted meat, two bottles of water, and ten rice balls left in the basket.
Mrs. Wang covered the bottom of the backpack with leaves, put the Xu Yue sisters' quilts and marching bags on top, tied them with straw ropes, and carried them on her back.
There is one marching bag left, which will be handed over to Xu Da later. Wang plans to let Xu Erniang sit on the marching bag and let Xu Da carry it, which will make it faster.
Xu Yue was still carried by Xu Dalang.
When Xu Erniang heard Aniang's arrangement, her face turned red and she resisted: "I, I will go by myself."
Mrs. Wang glanced at her feet, which were full of broken blisters, "Forget it, children should behave like children. Now my parents are still strong enough to carry you."
Xu Erniang: "..."
Okay, no need to be pretentious.
I don’t know what Xu Datong, Wang Dayou and others said. The villagers of Dawang Village looked at the twelve o’clock again, with obvious fear and hatred.
Seeing the people in Dawang Village and the Xu family getting busy and looking like they were about to leave, the twelve people looked surprised.
One of them tried to approach the people from Dawang Village and asked them what they were doing, but before he could get close, the men from Dawang Village immediately raised their hoes, sickles, sticks and other objects in their hands as a warning to prevent him from approaching.
The man's face immediately darkened and he retreated silently. The twelve people looked coldly at the team that was about to abandon them, with gloomy faces.
Especially the bulging-eyed man whose teeth were smashed by Xu Dalang and vomited blood, stared at the Xu family members with extremely ugly expressions.
It's just that everyone is not in the same group, and everyone goes their own way, so there is nothing wrong with not taking them with you.
There was a glimmer of light on the horizon, and the villagers of Dawang Village, who had finally been able to rest for a while, were reluctant to leave, but when they thought about being with a group of cannibals, they would rather be tired and miserable than stay in fear.
here.
There were not many belongings, so after settling the children, the group set off again.
Wang was walking in front with a basket on her back and a stick and a hatchet in her hand. Because Xu Da said that Wang knew where there was water, everyone followed her.
Seeing that their posture was wrong, the twelve people also prepared to follow. Wang Dayou and others raised their weapons in unison, leaving them behind.
The Xu family said that the pond is not big and it is not enough for them to drink. How can they give this group of people an advantage?
But once they were far away and out of sight, they had no control over how those twelve people left.
I can only hope that they will be more sensible and not follow their lead.
A group of more than 20 people walked through the mountains and forests, trampling a path through the virgin forest that no one had ever set foot on. The wild beasts in the mountains were silently scared away, and Wang's plan to hunt some pheasants and rabbits for food along the way was also ruined.
She looked back at the team following her. The villagers of Dawang Village fled all night without getting any rest. Their physical strength was exhausted, and the speed of the group was getting slower and slower.
This turtle is crawling at the same speed, and even if the sun sets in the afternoon, it may not be able to reach the pond.
Wang glared at Xu Da. She didn't feel the benefit of having a large number of people at all, she only felt anxious.
"How far do we have to go?"
Wang Dayou's wife Tong asked in a hoarse voice with a dry mouth.
