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

Finally, everyone agreed to kill the animals.

After Su Anton discussed with everyone, he decided to keep his two mules to pull the cart, because the more seriously injured people needed to be taken care of and they needed to ride in the cart. The two mules were kept for a few more days before being killed.

That afternoon, a group of people went up the mountain, found a deserted place and started killing animals.

The livestock in the team are mostly cattle, after all, cattle are more suitable for farming for farmers. Besides the Su family, most of the other families only have one, and some of the livestock were robbed last night.

Except for those who were seriously injured and were arranged to rest, the others with minor injuries were forced to work despite their injuries.

Some were busy killing animals, and some were busy converting the carriages into carts. From tomorrow on, they would have to push their own luggage.

The older people were furious when they saw the slaughter of animals, but they were helpless in the current situation.

With so many animals killed, the meat will definitely not be eaten up in a short time.

If you want to preserve it for a few more days, you need salt.

Some families didn't have that much salt, so the Su family took out their own salt and sold some to them. After receiving the money, Su An Dong gave each family more salt.

Su Anton did not suggest giving them the salt for free. He felt that things that could be distinguished should be divided as clearly as possible.

Zhou Huilan made as much beef jerky as possible from her own cow. She estimated that meat would be everyone's food for the next few days. She wanted to make the food as delicious as possible while there were no outsiders around.

Although the families whose livestock were stolen had no livestock to kill, they still kept busy and in the end, a lot of meat was shared among the families.

At the dinner in the evening, everyone had a good meal.

Su Yuanyuan quietly took out a lot of seasonings. These things had always been managed by Zhou Huilan, and no one else suspected anything. The Su family had the best meal since they fled from famine.

On the second day, everyone set out on the journey to escape the famine again.

After walking for a few days, they killed the remaining two mules.

Without animals to help people get around, everyone had to rely on their own legs.

The journey of fleeing from famine some time ago was hard enough for Su Yuanyuan. She never expected that the days of having a car to ride in would become a luxury now. It seems that there is no worst, only worse.

Every night, looking at the bright stars in the sky, she was no longer in the mood to appreciate them. But she gritted her teeth and persisted, because she didn't want to cause trouble for her family.

As the youngest child in the family, she would occasionally be sent to sit in a stroller for a while, but her other brothers and sisters did not receive such treatment!

Su Yuanyuan was really envious of her brother as she watched him push the cart effortlessly.

Su Anton decided to lead the team back to the main road. The situation was already so dire now. They had already taken detours and the less they had to walk, the better.

After Su An Dong discussed this with everyone, they found a deserted place and started to make a fire and cook. They had to prepare enough dry food. Once they were on the road, they could no longer cook in a big way. Even if they were eating, they had to eat secretly.

Many families made dry biscuits so that the dry food with less water could be stored for a few more days. Everyone carried dry food with them and set off on the road back to the main road.

The day after they returned to the road, they encountered the army.

First, a small group of people cleared the road in front, allowing the refugees to make way for the soldiers behind.

Su An Dong and his group naturally moved to the side of the road. They saw a group of people passing by in front of them, and there seemed to be several thousand people.

This group of soldiers are obviously regular troops, and their weapons and horses are very dazzling.

There were a few soldiers at the end, who said to everyone while riding their horses: "The Anbei Prefecture ahead will accept refugees, everyone hurry there."

When the refugees heard this, they cheered and shouted thank you to the military commander. With these words, hope was rekindled in the hearts of the refugees.

Once people have hope in their hearts, they will have some concerns.

Su An Dong felt more at ease watching the army passing by. He thought these people were going to the south to tame the rebels.

With these soldiers suppressing them, I think the road ahead will be much safer. I believe the refugees will follow some rules in the future and will not dare to act so recklessly anymore, after all, there will be someone to supervise them now.

When we set out again, we could clearly feel that the eyes of the people around us were no longer as dull as before, and there was gradually some spirit in their eyes.

When the group arrived at Anbei Prefecture, many refugees gathered at the gate of the city. The gate of the city was still closed, but there was already a porridge stall at the gate serving porridge.

After asking around, I found out that there was a notice posted at the city gate and that there were conditions for entering the city.

The group found a place to stop and rest. Su Anton asked everyone to take turns queuing up to get porridge, while he and Su Zhihao went to the city gate to read the notice.

Few refugees could read, so four soldiers stood under the notice and read the contents every half an hour.

Su Andong interpreted the content of the notice, and there are the following points:

First, you must have proof of identity to enter the city, that is, your household registration certificate.

Second, each person needs to pay one or two taels of silver to enter the city, and the fee is the same for both adults and children.

Third, ordinary people who entered the city had to obey the distribution and go wherever they were assigned. After entering the city, they might not stay in Anbei Prefecture, but might be assigned to Zhenjiang Prefecture further north.

Fourth, there will be some preferential treatment for scholars above the level of scholar, and scholars above the level of scholar can choose where to go by themselves.

After figuring out the situation, Su Anton went back and explained it in detail to others.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. This silence reflected worries about the future and fear of being separated from the Su family.

Su Andong had led the way all along the way, and they were used to listening to Su Andong in everything. If they left the Su family, left Su Andong, and went to a completely unfamiliar place, they would feel uneasy.

Su An Dong is a scholar, so he can choose where to go. But they can't choose! It seems that separation is inevitable.

Su An Dong looked at the listless crowd, feeling somewhat helpless. In fact, from his point of view, he also didn't want to be separated from them. After all, they had gone through life and death together, and they still had feelings for each other.

Moreover, these people believed in him and were very obedient, and no one caused trouble along the way. In his heart, he didn't want to be separated from them.

Some families don't have enough money to go to the city, and have already asked their good friends to borrow money. Let's not talk about whether we can go with the Su family, let's raise enough money to go to the city first!

Because all the families had made a lot of money following the Su family last year, most families had enough money to go to the city. There were three families that didn't have enough money, but fortunately, they didn't need much. These three families also needed more money because they had too many children and a large population.
