After fleeing famine, I rely on space to raise cubs

Chapter 49 Still not letting go

Song Zhi and Liu Dachuan walked out of the city. Su Qing and her three children packed their luggage. Erbao rubbed his little hands and said, "Mom, I want to go out and see the night market. I heard that there is no curfew in Su City at night and it is very lively."

Su Qing touched Erbao's cheek and said, "When your father comes back with the other villagers, we will go out. I want to take a look too."

I haven't seen the prosperity of a big city before coming here, so I have to see what the night market was like in ancient times. It's not a waste of time to come here.

However, due to the special circumstances, although it had been seven or eight days since he left Yuexia City, leaving at that time was not a peaceful way, and no one knew what kind of tricks the other party would use.

To be on the safe side, you have to wait until everyone is present to determine whether it is safe.

I waited and waited, but didn't wait until Song Zhi came back.

Liu Fang'er was also very anxious and came over to Su Qing, "They haven't come back yet. I don't know if something happened to them?"

Su Qing looked at Liu Fang'er's eager look, showing no pretense at all. She liked Song Zhi before, but she didn't have that intention anymore.

Su Qing patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm still very confident about Song Zhi's skills. Dachuan will follow him and nothing will happen. Don't be impatient. By the way, where are my parents?"

Liu Fang'er wiped her eyes and whispered: "I think they took Mr. Su out."

Su Qing twitched her lips. Her parents had been extremely quiet these days. Although Su Qing was surprised, she didn't think much about it. She had been tough after several rounds, so her parents must have known her attitude.

At midnight, Su Qing covered her three children with quilts and stood by the window looking out.

There is no nighttime bustling here, only various low-rise houses, and many homeless people randomly find a dilapidated place here as a shelter.

Su Qing sighed slightly, no matter how wealthy a place is, there are always people who are poor.

The smell in the stinky ditch was not good. Su Qing closed the window and the three children fell asleep. Su Qing couldn't sleep. She didn't dare to walk around even if she wanted to go out.

Finally, there were footsteps outside the door, and someone was talking loudly. Su Qing quickly opened it, only to see Su's father and Su's mother taking Su Tianling. The three of them ate with grease stains on their mouths. Seeing Su Qing at the door, she subconsciously wiped her mouth.

Su Qing frowned, "Mom, didn't I say that I had no money for a long time, how could I still buy so much food?"

Su's mother put the food she was carrying behind her and said with a smile: "It's that good son-in-law. He said that Su City was bustling and we couldn't live without money. When he left, he gave us some scattered silver coins. Qing'er, this

We still recognize our son-in-law."

Su's father also rarely nodded to express his praise.

Su Tianling looked arrogant, "Mom, I want to go back to sleep."

Mother Su said repeatedly: "Okay, you must be tired after walking for such a long time today. Let's go."

The family of three happily returned to their room. When they passed by Su Qing, Su's mother didn't even look at them.

Su Qing had long known her status in their hearts, and Su Qing didn't feel much sad. She just felt sorry for the original owner. She was abandoned by her parents, couldn't think clearly, bullied three children at the beginning, and died silently in the end.

Su Qing turned around and was about to go in when a lot of people came in shouting outside the door. Su Qing took a look at it and was extremely surprised. She walked out quickly and said, "You are finally back."

Song Zhi's face was solemn. When he saw Su Qing coming out to greet him, he quickly stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Su Qing was surprised why Song Zhi's voice was hoarse, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

Many villagers looked unhappy. The hotel here was reserved for them. Everyone started to pick up their bedding and spread it on the ground. Uncle Li wiped his eyes, his old face was full of sorrow, "The team from Bao's family all

died."

Many people bowed their heads, and Liu Dachuan said bitterly: "They didn't take the official road, they went down the hill on the side of Yuexia City. Who knew they were being followed."

Su Qing clenched her fists, "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Song Zhi nodded, "We received this team in the evening. According to the time, the other team would not be so late. Brother Dachuan and I walked back along their path. Unexpectedly, we walked back for only half an hour.

Their bodies were seen near the border of Sioux City."

Liu Dachuan slammed his fist on the table, "This is a naked provocation, otherwise why did we take action so late? It was to warn us not to be careless, otherwise it will cost us our lives."

Su Qing understood that the lord of Yuexia City would not let them off easily.

The reason why he killed people at the border of Sioux City was to warn them not to take it lightly, he would be there at any time.

He was like a cat catching a mouse, playing tricks on these fleeing people.

Su Qing's face turned dark. With the city lord here, their lives would not be comfortable.

Village Chief Liu coughed twice and said in a low voice: "It's still five or six days' journey from Su City to Dingzhou where we want to go. I'm afraid this city lord won't let it go. Should we go separately?"

Su Qing thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "No, let's go together. No matter what the outcome, we will face it together."

Song Zhi is the person with the highest martial arts skills here. He cannot let other villagers flee in fear. This is not Su Qing's style.

Song Zhi also nodded in support, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as we are together, we are stronger than alone.

We have determined the route here and are not in a hurry to leave. Anyway, it is a fact that we are being stared at. It is better to take a look in Suzhou City the next day. It will not be in vain.

Su Qing and Song Zhi returned to the room. Song Zhi looked downcast, "I hurt them."

Su Qing walked to his side and comforted, "The deceased will not blame you. We were also trying to save those children at that time. What matters now is how to protect the survivors."

Along the way, those who escaped from famine, fell ill and died, those who left behind, and now were killed again. In the end, Ling Ling was only a team of fifty people. Su Qing said: "There are no shortage of people. This city lord used such despicable means to destroy everyone's defense line."

, we cannot sit still and wait for death, but the enemy is hidden and we are clear, and most of us are old, weak, sick, and disabled, so we really have no means."

The two of them were talking in low voices here, but Su's father and mother next door saw clearly what just happened.

Su's mother was trembling all over, "Dad, who did they provoke, to kill so many people?"

Su's father was much calmer. His eyes rolled around, and he looked at Su's mother and said: "My daughter is married, and now she is no longer of the same mind as us. She won't stop doing anything. They are hiding, and we can't hide for the rest of our lives."

, it’s impossible for them to report to the official anyway, why not do this for us.”

Su's father said a few words in Su's mother's ear. Su's mother's eyes lit up and she responded: "Dad, you are still smart. That girl is just waiting for the mute to eat coptis. Huh, let her be unfilial."
