Dazhu was about to refute Wen Meijiu when he suddenly saw the crowd rushing towards him from behind. He was so scared that he was speechless. He stretched out one hand and pointed straight into the distance.

Old Li was in the front carriage, with Prince Wang lying on it, and Lanling and Jinxiang sitting on it.

Wen Meijiu and Dazhu took turns driving the cart, with mother sitting in the back and father lying down.

Because the horses had not fully recovered and their legs could not keep up, their family was at the end of the line and there was no one else behind them.

"what happened?"

At this time, Wen Meijiu and Dazhu were face to face, and she could not see anything that Dazhu could see.

Feeling that Dazhu's expression was not right, she quickly turned around to look behind her and immediately understood what was going on.

Jumping onto the shaft of the cart, Wen Meijiu shouted in the direction of Dazhu and Lao Li:

"Everyone grab your weapons. Someone is coming to steal our food and livestock."

These days, for the disaster victims who have nothing, they are walking fat meat. Who doesn’t want to move faster and have enough food and clothes?

I don't know how long they have been targeted, and now someone finally gives them the chance to strike, but they're still not fighting hard?

Those disaster victims were really like locusts, running faster than each other and getting closer soon. My mother was so scared that she stood up, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and stood side by side with Wen Meijiu at the rear of the car, where food was placed.

Old Li reacted quickly, as expected of a well-traveled man. Upon hearing Wen Meijiu's call, he immediately stood on the shaft of the cart and looked vigilantly at the person coming from behind.

Soon the group of disaster victims rushed over and reached out to the back of their car to grab food, but they were frightened by the dagger in Wen Meijiu's hand and the kitchen knife in his mother's hand, so they made a circle and went to the front.

Dazhu was extremely nervous, and the experience of guarding the village entrance in the past came to his mind again.

Out of instinct, he kept swinging the whip in his hand, swinging it hard in the air, making a "pa pa" sound, which drove away the victims who were eager to try.

Fortunately, apart from the people, there were only some luggage that could not be eaten or drunk in Lao Li's car. Those people took a look and heard the shouts of the people in front who had grabbed the food, and they swarmed forward.

The villagers were so busy watching the excitement and the fighting that they didn't notice at all that the victims were coming over to grab food. By the time they realized what was happening, they ran back crying and shouting to protect their own food, but it was too late.

The food of several families was stolen. Soon the victims who had stolen the food were fleeing in all directions. Even if one wanted to chase them, one didn’t know who to chase.

"Oh my god! She is dying. She can't afford to live anymore. She didn't even leave me a grain of food."

Liu Kerong, who had been fighting vigorously just now, was now sitting on the ground and crying loudly.

It was she who started the trouble, causing the whole family to go over to help. As a result, there was no one to guard the food at home, and it was snatched away by the victims one by one.

The most amazing thing is that Wang Baoquan's family was fine because the fight took place around his carriage. So many people surrounded his carriage that the victims had no place to fight and could only go around it.

"Hehe! God has eyes, my family's food is still there."

Hearing Liu Kerong's cries, Wang Baoquan hurried to the back of the car to check his own rations. Fortunately, there was nothing missing. He shouted from the bottom of his heart, his joy was self-evident.

The line in front and behind was not very long, and everyone heard his shout.

The families who lost their food were all dejected. When they heard Wang Baoquan shouting like that, they felt so sad. Liu Kerong's family was the saddest.

"Go ahead and do it, you bitch! See if I'll give you one."

Wen Deren has always been good-tempered and was afraid of his wife's reputation, but when the family ran out of food, he really couldn't stand it and cursed angrily.

After all, Wen Deren had studied the books of sages for two years. Even though he no longer had the aura of a scholar, he still maintained the demeanor of a scholar. Liu Kerong was sure of this and therefore dared to show off in front of Wen Deren.

Being suddenly scolded by Wenderen, she couldn't help but get scared. She sat on the ground and didn't dare to cry. She just stared at her man, as if she was looking at a monster she had never seen before.

"Why are you looking at me? Go and get the food back if you have the guts."

Wen Deren's loud shout scared Liu Kerong so much that she jumped up from the ground and ran in one direction to chase him. After running a few steps, she felt that it was useless to chase him, so she turned around and ran back in frustration.

He ran up to Wang Baoquan in one breath and reached out to grab the bag of food from Wang Baoquan's mouth.

There was no way Wang Baoquan would let her take it away as it was their family’s food supply.

The two men pulled each other, their faces turning red and white in panic.

"If it weren't for you, our family's food wouldn't have been taken away."

"None of my business, you wanted to come here on your own, I didn't drag you here."

"I don't care. You have to give me half of this food, otherwise you will have no chance of getting by."

"Go to hell, you think my family is easy to bully, right?"

Wang Baoquan was a man after all, and he often took care of livestock and planted crops. He was stronger than Liu Kerong and pushed her to the ground with his elbow.

"Oh my God, if you don't let me live, I won't live anymore!"

Liu Kerong, who didn't get any advantage, sat on the ground and started crying and rolling around, wondering how she would explain to her husband and children when she got home.

Several families who had lost food were distressed by Liu Kerong's crying and went to discuss the matter with the village chief.

The village chief was indignant. What did these people have to do with his daughter-in-law going to teach someone a lesson?

These people said they were there to break up the fight, but he knew better than anyone what they were thinking. If they hadn't come, Liu Kerong wouldn't have gotten any advantage.

He deserves to lose the food, and he still has the nerve to ask him why he thinks of him at this time. What were you doing before?

"Let's hurry on and talk about it when we have a rest."

The village chief also said that he was helpless, so he calmed everyone down, asked everyone to line up in the order just now, and continue on their way.

On the way, Wen Meijiu was worried, so she asked Dazhu and Lao Li to change carriages while she discussed something with Lao Li.

"Doctor Li, how is Prince Wang's illness?"

Wen Meijiu had previously given Prince Wang some antipyretic medicine. According to her expectations, Prince Wang's fever should have subsided by now.

Who knew that Lao Li shook his head slightly and said not very optimistically:

"The prince's wound is infected and his fever has not subsided."

Is the wound infected?

Wen Meijiu was very surprised by this. She didn't pay attention at the time and didn't know how Prince Wang got injured, so she asked:

"Where is the wound?"

Old Li pointed to his right arm, above his forearm.

“Is the infection serious?”

Wen Meijiu really didn't notice anything, so she quickly asked Lao Li about the specific situation to see if there was any way to cure it, as this was Zhi Zheng's trust to her.

Zhi Zheng hasn't come back yet. According to Zhi Zheng, she can only send Prince Wang to Donghai County. If he dies on the way, she will be guilty of a great sin.

"It's a bit serious. The key is that there is no village or store here. There is not even a place to get medicine."

Wen Meijiu was puzzled. Didn’t Lao Li bring back a lot of medicine for Dad last night?

There should be a pharmacy in the town we just left, otherwise where did he get the medicine?
