On the Shenjia Village side, every household that was willing to leave also packed their things and stood at the entrance of the village waiting.
Li Zheng said he would only wait for an hour, but when the time was almost up, people came in a hurry.
They also felt shaken when they heard the commotion outside, so they hurriedly packed up their things and came over.
After counting the number of people, I found that most of the people came, but there were still more than 20 families who did not come out.
Among them, there were a few lonely elderly people who felt that it would be better to die at home when they were older than to become lonely ghosts outside, so they were unwilling to follow them.
If you haven't come yet, you probably don't want to leave.
Everyone glanced at the village, full of reluctance, and finally looked at Li Zheng.
"Li Zheng, where are we going this late at night?" someone asked.
Those who were reluctant to follow muttered and complained: "Where can we go at night? There are hundreds of people in our village, and refugees may not dare to come here."
Some people rolled their eyes at him. They didn't listen to what Shen Xiucai said about refugees who invaded the county town. If you even dare to attack the county town, who do you think you are?
However, someone still answered: "Yes, no matter how urgent it is, don't rush this night. We won't be able to leave until dawn tomorrow."
Although their complaining voices were very low, Li Zheng, who was not far away, still heard them.
He glanced sideways and said impatiently: "If you don't want to leave, it's still too late to go back. Otherwise, just follow me honestly and there won't be so much nonsense."
Several people did not dare to say anything more and lowered their heads unconvinced, waiting for Li Zheng's arrangements.
"We are experiencing a severe drought, a locust plague, and an earthquake. Let's go east. I heard that the third prince's fiefdom is there. He is also kind. When we get there, he will definitely not ignore us." Li Zheng sighed.
.
"And if you walk further east, you'll reach the Imperial City. You won't be afraid of anything anyway."
Shen Yuyu was not surprised when he heard his arrangement. No matter what happened, the people must feel that the imperial city is the safest.
However, they didn't know that the imperial city was now in chaos. Even if she told them, they might not believe her, and they would probably think that she didn't know what she meant.
There is no need to think about this now. Shen Yuyu plans to take the Shen family to the southeast. The emperor there is far away from the imperial city, but there is a general guarding it now.
Now we can still walk with them for a while, and let them choose which way they want to go.
Li Zheng said again: "Let's walk to the east first and see how far we can go."
Shen Yuyu frowned. Going east was the way to the town. If the group of refugees came from the town, wouldn't it be a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
Thinking about it in her mind, she had already spoken out her objections: "No, we can't go that way."
When Li Zheng heard that someone dared to oppose him, he felt unhappy and said in a bad tone: "You can only take that road out of the village. If you don't go east, you might have to go to the Big Python Mountain in the west."
"Grandpa Li Zheng is really smart. He can think of an idea as soon as I tell him. There is only one way out of the village. The refugees will definitely take this way when they come. There are no forks in the road. If we bump into each other while walking,
Wouldn't it be a waste of effort to become a refugee?"
Shen Yuyu praised Shen Lizheng so highly that it was hard to get angry at her again.
Even though I felt a little unhappy, I understood what Shen Yuyu meant and could only say: "The Shen family girl has said everything in my heart, so what do you think we should do now? We can't go back after we have sorted it out."
Shen Yuyu smiled and said: "Let's go to the mountains to hide for one night. It won't be too late to leave when it gets light."
"Okay, just follow what the Shen family girl said, let's hide in the mountains for the night."
Seeing that he agreed with this opinion, Shen Yuyu led the Shen family in front to clear the way. The Zhang family and Wu Cuihua family followed closely behind, and the rest of the people also followed.
However, some people sneered at this. Lin Erdan was still upset because Shen Yuxi put a knife on his neck to scare him, and he was afraid and hated her in his heart.
He followed a little distance away from Shen's house and asked loudly: "You are so powerful and you are afraid of a few refugees. You can frighten them with your kitchen knife a few times."
Hearing his yelling like a primary school chicken, Shen Yue turned around and glanced at him disdainfully.
It was already dark, but when Lin Erdan saw Shen Yuyu looking over, he thought he saw a flash of starlight.
Tsk, this little girl from Shen Xiucai’s family is so damn pretty.
It's just...too violent.
Lin Erdan quickly lowered his head and looked at the road carefully.
Others didn't answer, because some people still had livestock with them, so they found a relatively flat and convenient road.
After walking for half an hour, everyone found a place to stop and rest.
Everyone wiped their sweat and sat down.
Looking down from the mountain, you can vaguely see several villages at the foot of the mountain, and some people's oil lamps have not yet been extinguished.
I don't know how much time passed, but when everyone was no longer paying much attention to the situation at the bottom of the mountain, someone exclaimed: "Look, someone is coming down the mountain."
After hearing his words, everyone quickly looked down the mountain and saw a long fire dragon, with someone holding a torch coming this way.
Then I saw people holding torches going to the village next to Shenjia Village.
Because they were at a high place, they could clearly see those people entering the yard and starting to rummage for things.
The owner of the house heard the commotion and started fighting with those people. The people fought as if they were desperate for their lives.
Some people even had knives in their hands. They were fighting for the food in an old woman's arms. When they saw that the old woman wouldn't let go, they swung the knife at her.
From a distance, I saw the woman twitching on the ground for a few times after being stabbed and then stopped moving.
After they finished robbing that village, those people gathered together and headed to the next village, and the next village was: Shenjia Village!
They did the same thing when they arrived at Shenjia Village.
Because the people in Shenjia Village knew the news in advance and escaped, those people didn't find much and vented their grievances on the remaining people.
The scene at the bottom of the mountain was so horrific that everyone couldn't bear to look away and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
Everyone's mood dropped. No matter how good or bad their relationship was in the past, they felt uncomfortable. Seeing them being killed made people feel a sense of grief that made their lips tremble and their teeth tremble.
They wrapped themselves in clothes and suddenly felt that the hot night suddenly became cold.
Thinking about the kitchen knives waving in the hands of the refugees, it felt like it was going to hit them in the next moment.
The whole family crowded together, as if that would make them feel safer.
Fortunately, they all followed him out just now, otherwise he might have lost his head by now.
Not far away, Lin Chunyan gathered her clothes and turned her eyes to see the calm Shen Yuyu.
She suddenly felt that Shen Yuyu's appearance was particularly annoying. Everyone was afraid, so why wouldn't she be afraid?
Shen Yuyu's calm look gave Lin Chunyan the idea of destroying her.
When Shen Yuyu noticed the unfriendly gaze and looked over, he saw that the expression on Lin Chunyan's face was distorted for a moment, and then she forced an ugly smile.
