The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

Several people found an inconspicuous place on the roadside and sat down. After sitting down, they did not communicate, but pricked up their ears to listen to others talking. They had already agreed before coming out that this time they came out to get information, and they would talk about it when they got back.

I saw a mother and daughter not far away. The mother was smearing dust on her daughter's face. As she was smearing dust, she said, "Didn't I tell you not to wipe your face? How come the dust on your face is gone again?"

The teenage girl retorted: "I didn't wipe it off. Maybe I was sweating and it just rubbed off."

A man who looked like the girl's father said, "Keep an eye on each other. If you find the ash is gone, apply it on your face quickly."

After wiping the dust, the woman took her daughter's hand and warned her, "If you find that something is wrong and there are more rioters coming, remember what I said, hide behind, don't stand up straight, and try to hunch your body. Remember this! If you are caught, you will die."

The girl knew the seriousness of the matter and said obediently, "Mom, I'll remember it."

The man said, "Fortunately, we don't have any animals at home, so it doesn't look like there's anything worth stealing, and it's not eye-catching." He then reminded his family, "If you really encounter something bad, remember, run to the woods. Remember, no matter what you see, don't rush forward."

The family all nodded. Their voices were not loud, but because Su An Dong and the others were close and listened carefully, they could hear the general idea.

Su Zhihao whispered in Su An Dong's ear: "Dad, I've observed that no one should be following us. I didn't see anyone paying special attention to us. Let's find a chance to retreat!"

Su An Dong nodded. After a while, while no one around them was paying attention, the few of them went into the bushes by the roadside and left.

After leaving the refugee group, they quickened their pace and headed back quickly.

When they returned to their resting place, a group of people were gathered waiting for them.

Su Anton and his companions told everyone in detail what they had seen and heard.

Everyone felt lucky to have listened to Su Anton and not taken the main road, otherwise they would have been robbed by the mob. They had a lot of stuff and livestock, so they looked like people who had something to rob.

Everyone began to discuss in low voices, some praised Su Anton for his cleverness, and some cursed the rioters.

Su An Dong looked at the noisy crowd and felt a little irritated. He said loudly: "Quiet."

As soon as everyone heard Su Anton's words, they quickly quieted down.

Su An Dong looked at the quiet crowd and said seriously, "We have to hurry up and discuss what to do next. After we decide, we have to leave as soon as possible."

After hearing what Su Anton said, the heads of each family expressed their opinions one after another: "Anton, just tell us what to do next! We will listen to you! We are not as smart as you, so we will do whatever you say."

Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, Su An Dong did not waste any more time and said directly: "Okay, since everyone said they would listen to me, then I will set a rule for everyone. The rule is that you must obey the arrangements. If I say what to do, you must obey. You are not allowed to do whatever you want! You are not allowed to change my decisions privately. If you agree, then I will take the lead."

Everyone began to express their opinions again: "Don't worry, we will be obedient and follow your instructions."

Zhou Lizheng said: "Don't worry, Anton, if anyone disobeys and refuses to follow the instructions, we will kick him out of the team."

Zhou Lizheng's words were also recognized by everyone, and they all said that anyone who disobeyed would be driven away.

Su An Dong looked at the attitude of the crowd and felt relieved. He raised his hand to suppress the crowd's words and expressed his own thoughts: "Although we took the small road to avoid the chaotic army, it also slowed down the progress of the journey. Now Yangqu County will not let us pass, so we can only take a detour. I guess someone has already taken a detour to Yangqu County before us. Now that the people at the county gate realize that the city gate will not be opened, they will also take a detour to Yangqu County. In this way, I guess we will meet more and more people on the road in the future."

"When there are too many people, trouble is more likely to happen. First, we have food, but many refugees have no food, so we are at risk of being robbed by the refugees. Second, although we have been on the road these days, we are not starving at all, and we don't look as miserable as them."

After listening to what Su Anton said, everyone felt that it made sense.

Su An Dong paused for two seconds and then began to talk about the countermeasures he had in mind, saying: "First, we must dirty the clothes we wear and dress ourselves like refugees; all the women have to dirty their faces, the more unkempt the better. Second, if someone robs us, no matter who it is, we can't just watch the fun, we must work together to beat the robber away. Our training these days cannot be in vain, we must beat them back, so that they know we are not easy to mess with, and they dare not rob us casually. Third, don't be soft-hearted. Don't be soft-hearted when you see someone pitiful, and give them food when they beg. This will bring trouble to our entire team! It may also lead to consequences that we cannot deal with. It's hard to say whether we can reach our destination safely! Don't pity others, pity yourself first!"

After saying that, he looked at everyone and said seriously: "Everyone remember what I said! You must remember these points. If anyone does not obey the arrangement, they can choose to leave the team."

Everyone expressed their opinions: Remember, we will absolutely obey the arrangements.

After saying this, Su An Dong left the strong laborers who participated in the training and asked the others to go back and prepare. He also asked the women to prepare more dry food now, because they would have to travel for the next two days and would not have much time to cook.

Su An Dong had a mission to keep the strong laborers. He divided them into teams, and asked the people in one team to take care of each other, walk on the periphery of the team, and put the elderly, women and children inside.

Let them hold sticks, sickles and other objects in their hands, which can have a deterrent effect.

Su An Dong now regretted not buying a knife, mainly because he had nowhere to buy one, and the control over knives here was quite strict. It was also because the incident happened suddenly. If he had been given two more days to prepare, he would have been able to get a knife. Although there was no large knife now, there was a kitchen knife, so he could use it instead!

Old Lady Su and Zhou Huilan took the women of the Zhou family to bake a lot of cakes, thinking that cakes are dry and not easy to spoil, and can be kept for two more days. At this time, don't worry about the food, just be full.

After everyone was ready, they set off again.
