"Oh, now I can't get into the city without money. If I go back, I might encounter bandits. What... should we do?"

Seeing that the village chief couldn't do anything, Liu Yao unconsciously looked at his two children, and then his eyes fell on Xiang Jiuling. Although she looked unhappy, she didn't have any panic, thinking that her own life was also

She rescued him and asked him immediately.

"Sister Xiang, do you...do you have any good ideas? I...our family really can't afford that much money!"

Upon hearing her mother's initiative to ask, Liu Shuangshuang's eyes instantly fell on Xiang Jiuling, with eyes filled with anticipation.

To be honest, Xiang Jiuling also made a lot of money some time ago, which was enough to at least pay for a family of five to go to the city. But... there are so many people, what should they do?

After all, they had fled all the way, and Xiang Jiuling couldn't bear to watch these people fend for themselves.

"With so many of us, we definitely won't be able to get the money to go to the city, but it's also impossible to go back."

After escaping from the famine all the way, there were no supplies on the way, and there was no point in turning back. The best way was to find another place to settle down.

"I have checked the surrounding situation in the past few days. There is a town near the county town. There are many mountains, forests, rivers and sparsely populated areas. If we can settle there and spend the winter, we will make a decision next year!"

The village chief was stunned. He didn't expect that Xiang Jiuling would do so many things in the past few days, but he still hesitated in his heart. "Of course this is good, but there are many bandits around. Will we..."

People like them who have escaped from famine are exhausted physically and mentally. How can they be the opponents of those barbaric bandits? If they leave the town and find a place to settle down, wouldn't they be a piece of fat in the eyes of the bandits?

"I have also considered this, but this is also the last option. It is better than starving to death outside the city!"

With so many people, there is no hope of living in the city, so they have to find another way out.

"Yes, village chief, it's a gloomy day today. I'm afraid it will rain at night. Since we can't enter the city for the time being, we might as well find a place to take shelter from the rain!"

Liu Dashan came back after inquiring about the news and saw that the village chief had not yet made a decision, so he immediately suggested taking shelter from the rain. After all, it would be a disaster if he got sick at this time of the year.

Of course, the village chief thought more, but he also knew that he alone had the final say on this matter, and most people still wanted to go to the city.

In times of crisis, people's hearts can be tested best.

As soon as Liu Dashan took Liu Yao's things to pack, he saw Mrs. Ji sneaking forward with Liu Dahu.

"Mom, where are you and brother going? It's going to rain. We need to find a place to take shelter. Don't push forward and find a place quickly!"

The two people who were discovered stopped nervously, turned around and saw Liu Dashan's family staring at them in confusion. Liu Dahu smiled awkwardly, but was interrupted by Mrs. Ji when he was about to speak.

"Dashan, you...you don't have to worry about us, I...your brother and I will just go to the front and take a look!"

Seeing the two people walking forward eagerly with their baggage on their backs, Liu Dashan couldn't help but be startled. Then he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes instantly condensed. He already understood that these two people were going to sneak into the city on their backs.

Liu Dashan has always been filial to Old Mrs. Ji. Even if he saw Old Mrs. Ji bullying Liu Yao and Liu Shuangshuang, he would turn a blind eye. He never expected that in this time of crisis, his mother would actually abandon him.

The family took his eldest brother away.

"Mom, what do you mean? You..."

Seeing that her thoughts were exposed, Mrs. Ji immediately showed her true face and looked at Liu Yao and Liu Shuangshuang who were holding their children with disgust, "Look at your family, how can we get so much money to go to the city? I

...I will go to the city with your elder brother to have a look first, and then...I will definitely find a way to get you into the city!"

Liu Dashan never expected that his foolish and filial mother would abandon him, and his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Just when he was about to speak, Liu Dahu on the side pulled Mrs. Ji to leave, "Let's go quickly, mother, we are all in danger now. It will be too late later, and it will be bad if we can't get in."

Liu Dashan stood there in a daze, watching the two figures walking further and further away, feeling a chill in his heart.

Mrs. Liu Yao also felt a little uncomfortable and stood there with her child in her arms, her tears falling unconsciously.

"Mom, please stop crying. It's okay. We are a family together and things will get better in the future."

Liu Shuangshuang held back the discomfort in her heart, took Liu Yao's hand, and comforted her in a tender voice.

Listening to his daughter's sensible words, Liu Dashan finally came back to his senses. Looking at the dense crowd, he could no longer see the two familiar figures. The hands at his sides clenched into fists unconsciously. Without his mother, he

He still has a wife and children, he can't just collapse, he has to cheer up.

"Okay, stop looking and pack your things quickly!"

Many people couldn't help but feel sad when they saw this scene, but such things have been common on the road to escape, and no one had any sympathy for others.

Seeing that he could not enter the city and strong winds were blowing, the village chief had no choice but to make a quick decision and gather all those who wanted to follow the team together to go into a mountain forest.

Most of the people gathered outside the city gate had no money to enter the city, knowing that they could only wait to die if they stayed there. Those who had no money to enter the city and tried to force their way in were beaten to death by the officers and soldiers. Now that they were about to leave, they also

They all followed.

Entering the dense forest, there are also abundant supplies. You can also find some wild vegetables or wild animals to satisfy your hunger along the way.

Since Xiang Jiuling's last warning, the Xiangyue family has become much quieter. The three of them couldn't afford to go to the city. They wanted to find Xiang Jiuling but didn't dare, so they could only follow the team silently.

We walked in silence for most of the day and didn't reach the place Xiang Jiuling mentioned. After all, there were many people and the process of the team was slow. We could only find a place to rest for the time being. Fortunately, there were several mountain walls that were spacious enough for everyone to rest.

Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi also took their children to rest at the foot of a mountain wall. She picked a lot of wild vegetables along the way. Plus, she could exchange supplies in the space, so the family could eat and drink naturally.

Seeing that they were about to enter the city, they were only one step away from stability, and it was helpless to follow the team. Xiang Yue and Xiang Lizhang were not willing to give in, so they spread rumors everywhere about how unfilial they were by raising a white-eyed wolf.

How cold-blooded.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Xiang Yue was still cursing Xiang Jiuling for being cold-blooded and ruthless. Whenever he thought of those cold words, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, his face became extremely ugly, and his chest was filled with unburnable anger.

Once upon a time, Xiang Jiuling, who was only obedient in the past, turned out to be like this? Both of them were wondering if this was their daughter.
