In the hall of Bai Jiusi's family, in addition to Zhufeng and the others, there were also representatives of five families. At that time, everyone was sitting around, discussing what to do in the future. As for the bandits at the entrance of the village, everyone remained silent.
But what happened tonight really sounded the alarm for them. They really couldn't stay in Bailin Village any longer.
"Go to the southeast." Zhufeng spoke first, "You can find life in the southeast."
Bai Jiusi thought for a moment, shook his head and objected: "No, Yinzhou is to the southeast, and Yinzhou is close to the Mu State. Now is the time when the princes are fighting for hegemony, and the border area is the most turbulent. Wouldn't this be like walking into a wolf's den?
"
When Bai Jiusi was young, he worked as a trader with a caravan and traveled around a lot. Later, he saved some money and settled in Bailin Village. His family was also the most affluent in Bailin Village. His words were naturally convincing.
Several other households nodded, and one of them said: "Those people who left before were all heading to the southwest. The southwest is the capital of Daxia. I think the only safe place now is the capital."
Bai Jiusi was silent for a while and looked at Zhufeng, "Brother, what do you think? Why do you want to go southeast? But you want to go to Yinzhou? To join relatives?"
Zhufeng chuckled. His junior sister, the head of the family, said to go to the southeast. Naturally, he agreed with both hands and feet.
"As for me, I asked someone to do a fortune-telling earlier, and they said that if you go southeast, you will see more life."
Bai Jiusi frowned: "These days, there are so many deceivers and deceivers. You may have been deceived and you don't know."
Magic stick?? The head of his family, the junior sister, is second in divination, and no one in the world dares to claim to be the first. Well... a mortal.
Qingyu walked out. She also heard what everyone said just now. She thought for a moment, it was their destiny to save the village tonight, and they could no longer interfere with the fate of this group of people, so she said: "Daddy wants to go to Yinzhou
We are going to join our relatives and go southeast."
Bai Jiusi glanced at Zhufeng, as if questioning, Zhufeng nodded seriously: "There is a distant relative over there. If I am really desperate, I will shamelessly go to Qiufeng. But if I am good, I can still find a living there.
.”
Bai Jiusi stopped persuading and asked several other people. Everyone expressed their willingness to follow him. Finally, it was agreed to set off in two days.
Anyway, the road was not going smoothly, not to mention the roof of the house was gone, so Qingyu and the five people discussed and decided to set off tomorrow.
After the discussion was over, Bai Jiusi wanted to leave the five of them to sleep in the main room, but Zhufeng refused. There was still their chicken soup in the empty room.
The five of them returned to the empty house and worked hard to dry the wet clothes. Early the next morning, they returned the clothes of Bai Jiusi's family. These days, every family has neither food nor clothing, and last night's food is enough.
.
After returning the clothes, the family of five hurriedly packed up their belongings: five pairs of cracked bowls and chopsticks, a three-legged cauldron for stewing, two wet beddings, two ragged straw mats, three sickles, two
A kitchen knife, a cutting board, two water bags, and the rest are some pots, pots, jars, and jars.
There were only so many things, so I simply brought them all. As for the jars and the like, they were all used as water containers. When traveling, the most indispensable thing is water, which is even more important than food.
Zhufeng took Wen Ya and Shi'an to fetch water. Qingyu and Hongtao dried their beddings first, and then started to light the stove. However, the stove was rained heavily last night, and they didn't know how to light the fire, so the surroundings were filled with smoke.
Damn it, I choked with tears and nose running.
The passing daughter-in-law saw the smoke rising into the sky from the house and thought it was a fire. She ran over in a hurry and saw two children, one old and one small, sitting in front of the stove, black and dirty, staring.
The 94th daughter-in-law laughed, urged Qingyu and Hongtao away, and started to help.
"This stove was caught in the rain last night, so it's not easy to burn. We use ours and we've already had breakfast." She tinkered with it for a long time. Although the fire was lit, the smoke couldn't help it.
Qingyu choked and coughed, and took the time to ask: "Where are you going, Auntie?"
The eyelids of the 94th daughter-in-law twitched, and then she said with a smile, "Get rid of all the filth. Your uncle, the 94th uncle, and his people have already gone to the village. It's embarrassing to see all these people coming and going."
Although in today's world, murder is as common as trampling on ants, ordinary people are still afraid of these things. They are not only afraid of being investigated by the government, but also afraid of retaliation. Besides, it is their own village with so many corpses.
Yes, so early in the morning Bai Jiusi took the strong men from the village to bury the body.
Qingyu didn't ask any more questions, and the 94th daughter-in-law also stopped talking. In fact, everyone knew what happened last night. Although they didn't know what this little girl did, she could kill more than twenty brutal people in one breath.
Bandits are already incredible and frightening. The 94th daughter-in-law can only think that this girl is probably protected by an expert.
"Little..." Junior sister Zhufeng came back with two buckets of water. When she saw the ninety-fourth daughter-in-law, she swallowed the last two words and said reproachfully, "Third brother, how can I trouble your aunt.
"
Qingyu couldn't help but help the 94th daughter-in-law to stand up, "Auntie, you can go and do your work, we can come here. Thank you for your kindness, auntie, we will use this stove and let it burn for a while, and then we can use it after it is dry."
After being pushed out, the 94-year-old daughter-in-law stopped insisting and smiled, "If you need aunt's help for anything, just call me." But she forgot that the whole family was leaving, so how could they come to cook it?
Use it later.
After seeing off his 1994 daughter-in-law, Zhufeng murmured at the entrance of the village, "Everyone is busy disposing of the corpse, do we want to help?"
Qingyu shook his head: "When we go, it will inevitably make them uncomfortable. Although they don't say it on their faces, they can't help but feel scared in their hearts. After all, it is normal to be afraid of so many lives." The villagers did not avoid them like snakes and scorpions.
...
At almost noon, Bai Jiusi came over carrying a piece of horse meat. The three gangsters he led last night rode the horses. After their death, the horses became ownerless. None of the villagers knew how to ride, and they had to take a horse when they fled.
Being too ostentatious would cause trouble, so I simply killed him. After all, he was so hungry that he was chewing tree bark. This horse meat was undoubtedly a life saver.
Who would say no to something to eat, Zhufeng immediately accepted it with joy.
Hongtao looked at Bai Jiusi seriously and said, "Uncle, listen to my advice. From now on, you must find a house with a tree in front of the main house to ward off evil spirits and avoid evil."
Bai Jiusi glanced at her, but didn't say anything. He seemed to have listened.
After busy work until noon, all the containers were finally full. Qingyu stored all the reserved water in Xuannv Hall, leaving only two water bags outside.
In addition, she also stored horse meat in Xuannv Hall. After more than ten days in the mortal world, the two plates of snacks and fruits in Xuannv Hall were still the same as before. Qingyu concluded that Xuannv Hall has the ability to freeze time.
At that time, the bedding had been dried and everything was packed away, but the sun was too bright and it was difficult to travel, so the few of them decided to take a nap first and not prepare to set off until the sun faded later.
Zhufeng and Wen Ya each carried a backpack and shouldered all the load. In the backpack were a bunch of things that they had searched for in the morning. Although these things could also be placed in Xuannv Hall, they went on the road empty-handed. In the eyes of others, then
It doesn’t look like it, it’s not heavy on the left and right sides, so I’ll just carry it on my back for now.
After bidding farewell to other people in the village, the family of five resolutely embarked on the road to leave their hometown with a longing for the future and the determination to fight the difficulties to the end.
They strode with great pride, and joy filled the whole body: they were finally able to escape from their miserable situation.
They were ambitious...until they climbed two mountains, dozens of field ridges, walked a mere twenty miles, and fell down exhausted.
Calculating the time, this journey lasted nearly two hours. If it had been a flat road, we would have gone straight to the next village. However, Bailin Village is located in a mountain col. This journey over mountains and ridges meant that the distance was short but the time was long.
Seeing that it was getting dark and it was hopeless to walk to the next village, the five people had to face a serious question - where to sleep tonight.
Hong Tao's legs were shaking as she climbed the mountain, but she saw the eager and expectant eyes of everyone, and felt deeply that she had a heavy responsibility, so she endured the fatigue, waved her hands, counted, pointed in a direction, "I found a piece of
Excellent Feng Shui treasure land.”
Under the leadership of Hong Tao, the four of them spent nearly an hour climbing to the top of a mountain with the highest terrain and the best view. The place is wide open in all directions, and you can see all over the world. It is indeed a geomantic treasure, but it is a bit too high.
cold.
Qingyu shuddered, and her eyes were a little sour. There was nothing around, not even a leeward place. If God had mercy, they probably wouldn't freeze to death here tonight.
Hong Tao felt a little embarrassed and stepped on the ground with her feet, "There are photos in front and back in the back. It is a Feng Shui treasure."
Qingyu stretched her neck slightly and glanced at the cliff in front. After thinking about it, she couldn't hurt the second senior sister's heart, so she said tactfully: "We are not worthy of this Feng Shui treasure land. If we are in conflict, let's change places."
