Chapter 5

The rabbit meat we eat tonight has not been eaten for several days. The refugees are following too closely. They are also afraid of being robbed and causing trouble. They are all old and weak. If there is a conflict, you can't handle the crowd.

After finally avoiding the crowd, I cooked two rabbits and a piece of bacon to satisfy everyone's cravings.

There is a bowl of meat left for tomorrow morning to have a meal of meat porridge and some pancakes. Third aunt made some yeast noodles and steamed some steamed buns before leaving tomorrow morning. It is better to eat the yeast noodles as much as possible so as not to accumulate food.

It was late at night, Li Yu stood up and said: "I will keep vigil tonight."

"Then I'll keep watch for the rest of the night."

"Well... how about I come to watch the night? We can take a nap during the day while riding in the carriage."

Lin Yue hesitated before speaking, her expression a little awkward.

"Next time, there are wild beasts in the woods. If you don't practice martial arts, you won't hear the slightest movement."

Boss Li shook his head, not hating her for what happened at noon. He spoke in a gentle tone and explained the reason.

"You can't hear anything in the woods. If there is a bear, it will be troublesome. You can contribute a little on the plains. From now on, everyone will take turns to watch the night. You can't just point at a few of them. It will tire people out. Everyone in this team will

There is still a long way to go if we have to work hard, and we must unite as one to overcome the difficulties together."

Mr. Li put down his bowl and spoke.

"Yes, we will listen to you from now on."

Gu Lin took the initiative to speak up, which was both a sign of submission and an apology.

"You have seen what happened today. Remember the lesson. There are more terrifying things that I haven't let you see."

"I don't let you be kind because you are afraid of what will happen. You will be robbed by us. It is a trivial matter to lose things. It is not uncommon for women and children to be kidnapped. For those who sell children, you can guarantee that the children you are selling are your own children and not someone else's."

child?"

Old man Li hit the nail on the head and planned to take advantage of this moment to speak carefully and let everyone feel alert.

"ah?"

Lin Yue raised her head suddenly, her face turned pale, and the word "human trafficker" came to her mind.

"There were kidnappers in the Taiping years, let alone now. It's not surprising."

Aunt Gu nodded in approval.

"This is why you are not allowed to show kindness randomly. Two fists are no match for four feet. Today, your Grandpa Gu was pushed to the ground and beaten by several men. Look at your face, which is still swollen. This

Is this the result you want?"

Old Man Li kept beating and beating, which made Gu Lin and Lin Yue blush.

The old man's tone was calm and his attitude was objective and pertinent. He did not favor anyone. He first told the consequences of the disaster and the visible experiences and losses, so that everyone was convinced.

"I said everyone should do their best, not just washing clothes and cooking. No one can deny your hard work, but just doing this is not enough. You know very well that the only ones who can fight and run are my eldest son and three children. I'm really down.

There is no substitute."

After taking a breath, Gu Lei quickly poured a bowl of hot water. If there was no tea, it would just be plain water.

Mr. Li continued, "You see, our arrival here has been blessed by our ancestors. We are going to Yu'er's maternal grandfather's house in the south. The road is still far. If we don't get there, the whole army will be annihilated."

"When in danger, it's the boss and these children who have to rely on us. Brother Rui and Lei'er's combined martial arts skills are not as strong as Yu'er's. We all have to rely on Yu'er and the three children to protect us. Should we rely on us two old guys? I

Now it's hard to hold a knife, and you can't run. You women can't run more than two miles. If you don't unite, you're waiting for death."

"Yes, what my brother said is so right. Think about what happened at noon. As soon as they left our sight, the refugees immediately came to rob them. What does it mean? People are not stupid, and they know that persimmons need to be picked softly.

From now on, listen to the command. Yu'er did a very good job today, with the general's decisive killing. From now on, the boss will listen to Brother Rui and Yu'er when he is not around. If you don't understand, if you ask back, there must be her reasons for not telling you.

Let’s trust and understand each other more and be united.”

Mr. Gu also tried to persuade him sincerely. A team of five or sixty-seven people were thinking that this was not seeking death, but it was his daughter-in-law who was going to suffer along with him.

"Grandpa, it's my fault. I will always obey your orders from now on. I'm sorry to everyone. I didn't think clearly and pretended to be smart."

Lin Yue stood up and apologized to everyone.

Mrs. Gu Lin twisted her body, her face flushed, "It's my fault that I'm biased and selfish, Yu'er, my aunt is here to keep you company."

"Auntie, you've made me angry. I couldn't control my temper. My second uncle died to protect me. I can't let my brother... don't care about me. I've always had an angry temper.

Just don’t care.”

"Good boy, I will take good care of the child. I really didn't mean to do anything bad today. So many people came to grab it, and I panicked. It's my fault. I shouldn't have listened to your advice. I kept things simple.

"

This will calm down the emotions and return to rationality. In fact, I regretted it after the quarrel. I just couldn't bear to apologize, but if I think about it carefully, the most tiring people along the way were their three and a half-year-old children.

This group of people are old, young, sick, and dying. She is not the only one who lost her husband. Everyone here has lost their loved ones, and everyone feels the same heart-piercing pain.

"Now that we've said it, this matter is over. I'll say it again. In the future, you should be smarter when you encounter a lot of people, and don't act alone. When you are in danger, don't wait for us. You and your children will go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Run, you run slowly, if you delay for a while, the day lilies will be cold."

Boss Li also added a few words.

"Okay, we remember it."

Things need to be taught little by little. They won't know the pain until the stick falls on them. They won't be able to remember it if they talk too much. They will naturally wake up when they encounter more troubles in the future.

Li Yu found a branch of a tree and lay on it, and she stayed there for half the night.

"Would you like to build something?"

Gu Lei took the cloak and handed it to her.

"I'm not cold, you go to sleep quickly."

"Okay, I'll replace you in the middle of the night."

Gu Lei fell asleep without any force.

Everyone was tired, and their bones were about to fall apart after wandering around in the carriage for a day. The female family members quickly lay down after finishing their work. Mrs. Wang took Brother Xu to sleep next to her.

After everyone fell asleep, Lin Yue tiptoed over and approached Li Yu.

"What are you doing if you don't sleep? You have to get up early tomorrow."

Li Yu's martial arts are both internal and external. Her father invited famous teachers to teach her and practiced hard with all her strength. She is a rare good talent, and with the help of spatial weapons, she is very powerful.

No movement could escape her ears.

Lin Yue coughed lightly, "I'm here to apologize to you. I'm sorry, and thank you for coming back in time. I... I'm sorry, I was scared. I didn't mean to cause trouble and lose Brother Xu."

She felt very guilty about this. Brother Xu was so stimulated that he was different from normal children. He didn't like to talk. It would be useless if he lost it.

"I know, it's all over. If you still feel sorry for me, just help me memorize the book for them. The book still needs to be read."

"Okay, just leave it to me."

Lin Yue heard this and felt relieved to be forgiven. I really had no bad intentions.

"Go to sleep. Get up early tomorrow and steam the steamed buns. Let that brat finish eating before leaving. He won't be able to keep his things. He's too small and there will be many people snatching his things."

"I remember, actually... you have a cold face and a warm heart. If you had just told me, this would have been fine. Your dry words make people misunderstand you. It's really..."

Lin Yue complained and went back to sleep.
