The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

The sun sets in the west, and soft rays of light shine through the window lattices onto the ground.

Bai Jingzhi's face was filled with anxiety when he heard the news about Wei Hongmian. "Dad, where are mom and the others? How can we find them?"

"They are now traveling along the Taiming Mountain Range. The leader intends to return to the Ming King's territory from the Li King's border."

Bai Zhao took out the map, and the father and daughter whispered in the corner.

"This is the master's thing, and it's in your hands." Wei Liu appeared behind them silently and saw the map in Bai Zhao's hand at a glance.

This map is made of cowhide and shows the topography of the entire Dazhuang Dynasty.

Bai Zhao quickly hid the map behind him. There must be a reason why Wei Shou gave the map to his mother instead of Wei Liu. He didn't dare to gamble on human nature now.

“It’s good to be cautious, but you don’t have to doubt me.

I was originally the master's bodyguard. We grew up together and have a very close relationship. Otherwise, I would not have protected you."

Wei Liu explained in a low voice.

The conversation between the three of them did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Later, when it was time for dinner, everyone in the room went outside to work, and no one was curious about what the three were talking about.

Bai Zhao still had doubts about him and did not express his opinion.

"Sixth Grandfather, what exactly was my grandfather's plan? Did the tens of thousands of Wei family soldiers really get wiped out?"

Bai Jingzhi asked Wei Liu to sit aside and took the opportunity to inquire about the Wei family's affairs.

"Jingzhi, I once told you that this journey is a test for you. If you pass the test, when you arrive in Yuzhou, I will explain the situation to you."

Wei Liu still didn't give her a definite answer.

Bai Jingzhi immediately became angry, his eyes rolling around, and then he sat down next to Wei Liu and pulled his sleeve, "Sixth Grandpa, why do we have to go to Yuzhou? Look, I'm safe and sound now, which proves my ability!"

"Of course I have my concerns. I'll talk about it when we get there!" Wei Liu simply closed his eyes and leaned against the wall pretending to be sleepy.

Bai Jingzhi's persistent Kung Fu was completely unsealed here, and even Bai Zhao couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

Seeing that Wei Liu was not convinced, the father and daughter simply continued the discussion with the map in hand.

"Do you have any news about them?" Wei Liu opened his eyes suddenly when he heard the conversation between the father and daughter.

"Yes!"

Bai Jingzhi answered crisply, not afraid of Wei Liuyi's sudden and fierce aura at all.

Bai Zhao's body shuddered, and he kept comforting himself in his heart: This is the consciousness of the original body. Bai Zhao, you are a big shot in the business world, and you have seen all kinds of people. Don't be afraid of a warrior!

"Dad, Sixth Grandpa is very good, don't be afraid!"

Bai Jingzhi added another stab with his words, but Bai Zhao relaxed instead.

"No future! You're not even as good as a girl. No wonder Dayong doesn't like you."

Wei Liu leaned forward and scolded Bai Zhao. The terrifying aura on his body disappeared and he returned to his original honest appearance.

"Sixth Grandpa, my father is pretty good in other aspects, but he's just a coward!"

Bai Jingzhi said a good word for Bai Zhao and handed the map to Wei Liu.

"Sixth Grandfather, my mother and her friends are being held hostage. They want to return to the Ming King's territory from the Li King's territory."

Bai Zhao pointed at the map, which was exactly where Taiming Mountain connected Yan and Li. "They went directly from King Yan to Taiming Mountain, which is closer and takes less time. Why did they go through so much trouble to go around in such a long circle?"

"There must be something fishy going on here! But at this moment, we still have to rescue them first."

Wei Liu took the map and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Why don't we wait here for rescue?"

Bai Jingzhi pointed to a place on the map and Wei Liu readily agreed.

At night, Wei Dayong came back from the front with news, and the situation was not optimistic.

This is the most remote area in King Li's territory, and many refugees have gathered here.

Some of the refugees came from other areas.

Some people did not have passes, so King Li only took in some of them, and the rest wandered around the Taiming Mountain area.

In the past two days, refugees have been gathering at Taiming Mountain.

Taiming Mountain half surrounds Lingzhou, where there is abundant rainfall and few natural disasters.

These refugees, instigated by unknown individuals, prepared to go to Taiming Mountain in search of a chance of survival.

If there is a chance, I would like to settle down in Lingzhou.

Lingzhou is in chaos, which is a good time to fish in troubled waters.

"Sixth Grandpa, the five of you go and rescue them. We are still hiding in Taiming Mountain. By the way, find some food in the mountains and prepare it."

Wei Liu and his son, Zhou Yue'e and her siblings, and Zhou Wen, they all happen to be skilled in martial arts, and without them holding them back, these five people should be able to escape unscathed.

"What are you going to do? The refugees are coming in force. If there are people with bad intentions, how can you fight back?"

Wei Liu frowned, somewhat disapproving.

What he is afraid of now is that he has just rescued that group of people, but these people will be lost again.

This went on repeatedly, and by the end of the year they were unable to leave Taiming Mountain and reach Yuzhou.

"It will only take you one day to go back and forth. If my mother and the others are in bad condition, it will take at most two days.

We will go out to look for things in batches these two days, and those who stay behind...why don't we build a simple tree house?"

Bai Lingzhi's idea was recognized by everyone.

Zhou Wen was familiar with Taiming Mountain. He led people to cut some tree trunks as thick as arms from the mountain. Wei Dayong was responsible for building the tree house three meters above the ground.

A simple tree house was built, and a simple vine ladder was made to facilitate their entry and exit while preventing refugees from breaking in.

By late at night, they all moved to the tree house.

The tree house is built between two big trees and is very sturdy.

Everyone slept well, and the five of them set off the next day.

The Bai Lao Da couple was one team, and the Bai Jingzhi father and daughter were another team. One team went out to look for things, while the other team stayed behind and put the vine ladder into the tree house.

Half a day passed in a flash, and from afar, Mr. and Mrs. Bai came back excitedly.

Both of them had their backpacks filled with stuff.

"Dad, put away those dried fruits. They are almost dried. Let's make room for my aunt."

The fruits they had picked were cut into slices and dried.

The father and daughter tidied up the tree house and put down the vine ladder for Mr. Bai and his wife.

"We have a good harvest today. Let's put these fungus here to dry first, and then put them in soup in winter."

Xiao Wang carried back a basket of fungus, and the quality was really good, even better than the autumn fungus of later generations.

Boss Bai carried all kinds of wild fruits on his back, which he could only slice and dry, then soak in water to drink.

In the afternoon, Bai Jingzhi and his daughter went out, while Bai Laoda and his wife stayed behind.

"Dad, there's ginseng!"

Bai Jingzhi was originally planning to pick some herbs, and they, father and daughter, were already quite far away from the tree house.

I did collect a lot of herbs in the afternoon and was waiting for Wei Hongmian to come back and deal with them.

This ginseng was a pleasant surprise.

Bai Jingzhi was tripped by a tree root exposed on the ground and encountered wild ginseng.

"Be careful!" Bai Zhao warned loudly, but it was obviously too late.

Bai Jingzhi reacted quickly. He held the golden ring in his hand and pressed it lightly, and a needle flew out.
