It's too hard to flee famine, don't be afraid! Evil mother-in-law has a system

Chapter 44 The bandits are coming

As soon as Li Wei and others entered the shed, Gu Laoer came up to them.

"Mom, I don't think these people are good people."

Li Wei nodded: "Be careful, we will leave at dawn."

Gu Lao Er, Gu Lao San and Gu Lao Si nodded in succession.

"Third brother, you stay with your elder brother in the first half of the night. Second child, fourth brother, you two should be more alert in the second half of the night."

Normally, one person would keep watch, but tonight, Li Wei asked two people to take turns keeping watch.

Even so, Li Wei still didn't sleep a wink all night. The four people outside always made Li Wei feel like she was being watched. She just hoped that it would get dawn soon and she could pack her things and leave early.

However, at Yinshi, Lin Dahong got up early and cooked porridge. Each of them drank a bowl of hot porridge, packed up and prepared to leave.

Jin Dahu came up again.

"Madam, where are you going?"

But at this moment, on the opposite hillside, vultures were tearing apart the corpses, and I suddenly felt sick and wanted to vomit.

"It's just bad luck. It's been snowing for so long. I originally wanted to hunt something to increase the family's income."

Jin Dahu's expression changed and he hurriedly said: "How can we come at night? We came during the day. This is not without gain. We plan to stay on the mountain for a few days."

"My lady doesn't know something. There are bandits in this mountain. The people would rather take a long way around than take the risk."

Seeing Jin Dahu's sincere face, Li Wei not only felt a little ashamed, but she had been guarding against him, thinking that he was not a good person.

The other two who returned to the village quickly said goodbye and left in the opposite direction.

"Don't worry, madam. Bandits usually operate in the north and don't go in this direction. I often go into the mountains from here. I'm familiar with it."

"Madam, I think everyone is tired. Why don't we take a rest before continuing on our way. At this speed, we will definitely reach Tongchuan County before dark."

Not only are bullock carts unable to pass, but also people must be extremely careful.

"You don't know, many people froze to death along the way."

I don't know if Jin Dahu was inspired by this or what, but in short, it was natural for him to face vultures eating corpses, and his reaction to Lao Gu's family was a bit contemptuous.

Li Wei looked at Jin Dahu.

"Don't worry, you are kind to me. I know you won't encounter bandits on that road. I will bring you safely to Tongchuan County."

"Who knows if you go into the mountains and catch nothing, you will encounter a wolf first."

At that time, Li Wei wanted to take a closer look out of curiosity, but there was a wall blocking the way, so she could only take a rough look and felt very disappointed.

"Huaishu Lane, if you need anything from now on, my wife, you can come to me."

"People are the most useless in this mountain."

But these things are becoming increasingly powerless in an era where survival is no longer guaranteed.

"Tongchuan."

"What a coincidence, my family is from Tongchuan, so we happened to be traveling together."

"Mother, mother, the road ahead is too narrow and the ox cart cannot pass."

"I see, Tongchuan is a good place, but when Ji'an suffered this disaster, nothing happened to us in Tongchuan."

"Do you all go hunting in the mountains at night?" Gu Laoer suddenly asked.

"I heard that Shima Town was hit by a disaster. Seeing as your family is so leisurely, it should be fine."

"Coming from Shima Town to Tongchuan, this is the only road. How come there are so few people taking it?"

The further we walked up the mountain, the quieter it became, and Li Wei felt more and more uneasy. She always felt uneasy. Occasionally, there were a few crows calling, which was even more frightening.

"We are a family, young and old, old and weak. If we walk slowly, I'm afraid it will delay things. You'd better leave first."

Jin Dahu looked at the basket on the bullock cart.

"Madam, where are you coming from? Are you going to Tongchuan to join relatives or are you planning to settle down in Tongchuan?"

Boss Gu and Boss Gu also saw the corpse being pulled by the vulture. They squatted aside and vomited.

Ever since Gu Laoer learned that Jin Dahu was familiar with the road, he started chatting with people very familiarly.

If the system says there are thirty-two people coming towards them, then there must be thirty-two people. The system will not lie.

Li Wei's heart skipped a beat. The thirty or so people who came down from the mountain couldn't be bandits, right?

"Reporting to the master, your current route is not in the direction of Tongchuan. Do I need to readjust the route for you?"

Suddenly, a group of big birds swooped down to a hillside opposite, as if they were snatching some food.

Gu Laoer was really tired, and he was afraid that Li Wei would not agree to rest, so he immediately suggested it.

Li Wei finally confirmed that the two groups of them were heading towards each other.

"Don't worry, I know a path and you can go around it."

"Brother Jin, why did you encounter a pack of wolves last night?"

"These are vultures. There must be dead people on the slope."

Li Wei was shocked that there were actually bandits in the mountains.

"It is better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Since we are all going to the same place, it is better to go together."

However, Li Wei was always wary of Jin Dahu, because she had an intuition that this person was dishonest.

"If I say keep walking, just keep walking. If you need to rest, I'll let you rest enough when you get to Tongchuan."

She hates facing the laws of nature, as if she is mocking the so-called human emotions, so-called compassion, and even so-called civilization. They are a joke, an excuse for self-evasion, and a lie created by a group of people for a certain purpose. Believe it.

They are all fools, because the rules of survival in nature have never changed.

"Are you familiar with this mountain?"

"Hey, Brother Jin, you don't know that Shima Town is in serious trouble this time. Fortunately, our family escaped. Otherwise, we don't know what would happen now."

If it collapses again, no bones will be left if it falls.

Li Wei looked at the map of Tongchuan County through the system and found that there was indeed a Sophora Alley.

"Mom, Brother Jin said that there is a pass ahead that is very smooth, and I suggest you take a rest there at noon."

Suddenly, Boss Gu's voice came.

Gu Lao Er babbled and told all his experiences along the way, including the theft of his own food. He only concealed the fact that the thief was his brother-in-law and completely forgot that Li Wei said that they were from Tongchuan.

"Where are we headed now?"

"No, maybe God opened his eyes."

To be honest, if Jin Dahu wanted the four of them to go to Tongchuan City, Li Wei would just go back.

"If you die here, do you still want dignity? If you die, you will be someone else's prey."

"My brothers and I often hunt in this mountain, so we are quite familiar with it."

Li Wei said nothing, kept walking forward with a sullen face.

Li Wei glanced at Gu Laoer and secretly cursed his teammates as pigs.

"All four of you are from Tongchuan County?"

Li Wei also came back from her thoughts and stepped forward to see that the originally wide road had collapsed, with cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other.

Li Wei knew about vultures, a kind of bird that specializes in eating human corpses. In modern times, Li Wei once went to Seda to see a sky burial, and after a series of rituals, he fed the corpse to the vultures.

The group continued to move forward, and the system reported in real time that the distance between the thirty-two people was getting closer and closer.

Li Wei glanced at Jin Dahu and then at the three men behind him.

Look at the bare surroundings, with nothing but rocks and white snow. If the bandits stopped their family here, they would definitely die.

Gu Laoer also found it incredible, but Jin Dahu's eyes flashed and he glanced at Li Wei and everyone else. Why did he feel that this family was not like an ordinary farmer.

Everyone began to take a detour. The road led by Jin Dahu was indeed much easier to walk. With manual navigation, Li Wei no longer followed the system prompts.

Jin Dahu said very firmly, but Li Wei was even more unconvinced.

After all the talk, the road was not his own, so Li Wei had no choice but to go together.

But I didn't expect that people had good intentions.

Seeing Li Wei getting angry, Gu Lao Er dared not say anything more, so he could only continue walking angrily.

"You are so lucky to be able to recover the stolen food."

"There are bandits in the mountains. Let's not rest any longer. We'll continue on our way and rest again in Tongchuan."

"Well, I wonder where Mr. Jin lives in the county?"

"No rush, we have nothing urgent to do anyway."

Gu Laoer nodded and thought to himself, this Orion's life is not easy either.

"It's so miserable to think about it."

Looking at Jin Dahu and his brother, Li Wei frowned, feeling bad again.

Speaking of this, Jin Dahu sighed.

"The name of this mountain is Yandang Mountain. Although the mountain is not high, it is very steep. Except for hunters like us, few people come here on weekdays."

"No, Heizi and I live in Tongchuan County. My other two brothers are back in the village, just over the mountain." Jin Dahu pointed in the opposite direction.

At this moment, the system suddenly reported that thirty-two people were walking toward Li Wei on the mountain ten miles away.

"Is there any other way to Tongchuan?"

Li Wei: "We are also from Tongchuan. We are going back to our hometown to move things."

Li Wei was frowning when Gu Laoer ran over and said.

"Yes, Mom, you can rest assured that Brother Jin is there. Tiedan Niang is already tired, and there is Daya. Everyone needs to rest."

But even so, Li Wei is still willing to believe in the value of civilization and emotion.

But Li Wei was more cautious. Since there were bandits in Yandang Mountain, he turned on the system and sensed crowds within a ten-mile radius. If a large group of people suddenly appeared, he should be vigilant.

"Thank you very much."

But now I can't get rid of him.

"The master's current route is towards the top of the mountain."

"Tongchuan should turn eastward from halfway up the mountain."

Too careless.

Li Wei was almost moved to tears by her own stupidity and gullibility.

The road led by Jin Dahu is probably a bandit's den.
