Chapter Thirty-Four: The Reason That Attracts Attention
Old Man Xu was very puzzled. They were all so careful. How could someone keep an eye on them and prepare to snatch their things while they were sleeping?
Fortunately, they took precautions early and never let up, calling people to keep vigil every night.
Otherwise, if someone touches me tonight, even if I don't say anything, something will happen.
Where can one discover it in time and drive people away before they have a chance to take action?
After driving away the bad guys, everyone checked to see if anyone was injured.
Deng Mutou, who failed to rush forward, waved his hands and said: "I didn't even manage to squeeze in, I didn't even make a move, and they beat me away!"
Uncle Zhang answered: "Only a dozen people came, and they were driven away after a few moments."
Old Man Xu said: "Thanks to you guys for tonight. Thank you for your hard work. I still have to stay alert at night."
Uncle Zhang nodded in agreement, but said: "It wasn't us who discovered it. When I rushed forward, Chunshan had already started to fight with them!"
Speaking of this, he was also surprised.
Old man Xu was also surprised when he heard that it was not the third child who was keeping vigil tonight. The watchman didn't notice anything unusual, but the lazy fellow, the third child, noticed it first? And he was the first to rush in and start a fight?
Why does this sound so unreal?
Everyone looked at Xu Chunshan.
Zhou Dalang was very curious, "Cousin Chunshan, how did you notice someone approaching?" Just a moment ago, he looked in that direction with wide eyes, but he didn't see anyone approaching.
"I heard that the voice sounded like it was Liulang shouting?" Xu Chunlin said.
Everyone looked at Xu Dajun again.
Xu Chunshan didn't say anything, but Xu Dajun said openly: "What I heard, my ears are always good. I can hear sounds for several miles around if I want to hear them. I noticed them as soon as those people got close."
Everyone: You have read the book, and we all believe you when you brag that you can go to heaven.
However, Old Man Xu remembered what happened that night when Landlord Wang's house was in trouble when he was still in the village. Therefore, he immediately believed his grandson's words. He was also surprised. He didn't expect that his little grandson had such a gifted ability!
It is indeed his grandson!
The old Taoist priest was right. His grandson will have great fortunes in the future! He is a promising person!
Not to mention being smart in reading, but also in terms of ear skills, they are better than others.
Naturally, Xu Dajun couldn't tell the public about the golden finger. He had read the book and everyone would believe what he said and wouldn't think too much about it.
If you have good ears, it's not a big deal if you can hear sounds for miles around. Those who can serve as scouts in the military camp are all because of their good ears, right?
So by saying this, I am not afraid that I will miss something later and others will dig into it.
And now that he has said this to everyone, everyone will know that if something happens along the way, he will warn them in advance, and everyone will be able to listen immediately, saving them the delay of asking questions and talking about other things.
Xu Chunshan nodded in agreement without changing his expression, "Yes, it was Liulang who woke me up and told me."
Everyone believed it and praised Liulang one after another, not forgetting to thank him.
After such an outing, the night got late, everyone continued to rest, and those who were supposed to watch the night consciously cheered up.
Old man Xu thought about it all night, and continued on his way at dawn without thinking about it.
Thinking that my grandson was smart, I couldn't help but tell him about it.
Xu Dajun was also curious, but he had never heard of what happened last night before, nor had he heard any refugees talking about their group in private. Maybe he didn't listen during the discussion?
Now that Old Man Xu was confused about this matter, he quickly started thinking about it.
Xu Yinyin was walking beside Xu Dajun. She also heard it when old man Xu took two steps back and walked side by side with Xu Dajun to talk about this.
He couldn't help but look at the refugees in front of him, and then at his own line.
She was very observant and immediately noticed something was wrong.
She was about to remind Xu Dajun, and Xu Dajun also saw it.
"Sir, you see, the refugees before and after us all walked away empty-handed. At most, they carried a baggage on their backs. But no one is like us, each family has a cart, and the cart is piled with things.
of."
"If a person doesn't even have the strength to walk, how can he care about a cart?"
Hearing this, Old Man Xu fell into deep thought.
He couldn't help but think of the time when he was fleeing famine when he was a child. When the whole family first fled famine, his grandma was reluctant to part with the family's belongings, including hoes, shovels, pots and pans.
But along the way, I lost everything, and in the end, not to mention the guy, I even lost the person...
It was really too far to walk all the way.
And now that they still have the strength to carry these guys with them, they are naturally reluctant to abandon them.
But other people are different. They no longer have the strength to carry their things, so they can only abandon them all.
In this way, these people who were still pushing their belongings did attract more attention, even though they were eating and drinking secretly at night.
But everyone will wonder, why can’t you bear to lose the cart even if you don’t have the strength to walk? What kind of treasure is the cart?
Old man Xu thought about it, but he was a little reluctant to give up all his belongings.
After all, they now have the strength to carry these things.
And in another six or seven days, they would be able to enter Qingzhou.
When you arrive in Qingzhou, you want to settle down and you need money for everything. If you have these things, you can buy as little as possible and save some money. Why not?
Old Man Xu was reluctant to part with it for a while, but he couldn't arbitrarily become the boss of everyone, so when he stopped to rest, he discussed it with several other people talking about the matter.
Old man Zhou and others were stunned when they heard that people were paying attention to them because they were pushing a cart with so many household items.
When he came to his senses, Mr. Shi immediately said: "Uncle Xu, we can't let go of this house! There are so many of us, so we can push them around with someone to rest, so it won't hinder our journey."
Old man Zhou also said: "Yes, everything in this house was brought out by everyone's hard work. If we really give it up, there will be nothing left."
They are far away from home. Apart from their families, these homes are nothing but thoughts.
All the pots and pans were bought with money. When the time comes to find a place to settle down, these are all indispensable things. If you throw them away now and buy them again with money later, isn't this a waste of money?
Besides, they don't have the extra money to waste.
Now that I have the strength to carry it with me, I naturally can’t bear to lose it.
Uncle Zhang and his family also mean the same thing.
Everyone agreed, so there was nothing to argue about. Old man Xu immediately decided, "Take them all with you and don't throw them away! Let's speed up our journey from now on and try to get to Qingzhou as soon as possible."
"Men from all families, keep everything in your hands at all times and protect the team. If someone with short eyes really wants to charge forward, we will fight him!"
Old Man Xu made the decision, and everyone immediately continued on their way without resting.
There was a long line of people numbering seventy or eighty, with women and children being protected in the middle, and then the person in charge of pushing the trolley was also in the middle.
All the men had their hands empty, some were carrying hoes, some were holding poles, some were carrying hatchets and kitchen knives, and some were picking up tree sticks.
Protect the team tightly from front to back, left and right.
If you want to touch their belongings and bully women and children, you have to get over their hands!
