Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Except when they were sleeping, the two little ones were ordered to walk around. When they were really tired, they could go back up to rest.

Lin Xiaoyue has always paid attention to the physical training of the two little girls, which can not only improve their physical fitness and immunity, but also train their physical fitness. Not only can they block when encountering trouble, but at least when being targeted by bad guys, they will not be tied up, and it is good to run away for a while.

Although the two little guys were tired, they were still willing to listen to their third sister. They walked for an hour or two every day, and when they were tired, they climbed onto the shopping cart, rocking around, and soon fell asleep. The next day, they were fully revived and could play even harder.

……

That night, everyone was keen to try out the different feelings after having their legs tied, but how could they, on the road of escape, allow them to enjoy a relaxing time alone?

Just the scattered refugees they met from time to time on the road, with their three large carts, two small carts, cows and mules, were enough to make the refugees jealous and excited.

Look at this group of people, although they are wearing rough linen clothes and have unkempt hair and dirty faces, they are full of energy. They are nothing like the refugees we saw along the way, who are ragged, emaciated, dragging their feet when walking, and look listless and half-dead.

Some refugees bravely wanted to get closer, but when they saw that this group of people were all holding kitchen knives, bone-cleaving knives, hoes, and long sticks, with unfriendly faces and were wary of the refugees passing by. The fierceness in their eyes showed that this group of people were not to be trifled with.

In this case, I can't rob, but I still want to try to ask for food, or a drink will be fine.

As they passed through, the villages, counties, towns, and prefectures were in chaos. The refugees could not get any food, and there was no news that the government would open the warehouses to release food. In order to save their lives, the refugees, who were forced into a desperate situation, robbed and burned things at the instigation of those with ulterior motives, and some even killed officials.

The refugees clashed with the good people and fought against the government. Some of the good people had to flee in order to survive, while others fought desperately against the rioters. In short, the people in the north of the dynasty were in panic and in chaos.

Those who escaped did not want to associate with the mob, they just wanted to get away from the northern border, go to the state capital or other prosperous places, find a place to live and settle down, and they did not ask for anything else.

But God was blind and could not see these poor people. After the heavy rain, there was no more rain. Moreover, the weather was getting hotter day by day, as if it wanted to roast all the living things on the ground, making the refugees who were displaced and hungry live even more miserable.

Not to mention the adults who couldn't bear it, even the two vulnerable groups, the elderly and children, fell down in large numbers on the road to escape the famine.

People walked forward in a daze, their heads down. If they were asked to explain the situation clearly, I'm afraid few refugees would be able to do so. Most of them would say that they were all fleeing famine, and everyone was looking for a way to make a living, so they followed the crowd, which was definitely correct.

To be honest, it is not easy to survive all this journey until now.

Therefore, when the refugees saw the Lin family's team coming out of the small path, their eyes immediately lit up.

They, as adults, can bear it, and even if they can't bear it, they have to grit their teeth and bear it, but what can children and the elderly do? So, for the sake of children and the elderly, they also want to give it a try, just in case it works?

So, when the Lin family team clenched their weapons and were on high alert, suddenly, more than ten or twenty men and women, young and old, blocked their way without warning, knelt down, and begged, "Kind people, please, please give us something to eat. You have cows and mules, so you must have surplus food. Please be kind and give us something to eat."

An old woman in her sixties with all her teeth missing was shaking and begging with tears streaming down her face, "Young men, we are not trying to steal anything, but our children at home really haven't had a bite of food for several days. Please be kind and save our children. I don't ask for much, just a bite of food is enough, please."

On the other side, a little girl in her early teens, with a face so dirty that her features could not be seen, knelt down and cried, "Auntie, sister-in-law, please be kind, please give me a bite to eat, my mother can't hold on any longer, please, Niuniu kowtows to you."

"Brother, please be kind. My mother is old and hasn't eaten for three days. Please be kind and give her something to eat. I beg you."

"Please, give me something to eat."

"Please."

At one moment, more than a dozen skinny refugees knelt on the ground in unison, some crying, some kowtowing. Their cries and shouts were continuous and deafening, and it was so deafening that people could not help but feel compassion when they heard them.

Miao, Ergou's mother and others all had tears in their eyes, but they still gritted their teeth, turned their heads away and dared not to look anymore.

The people on the ground kept bumping their heads, and soon their skin was broken. The bright red blood flowed down their noses, dripping onto the ground, and bloomed into red blood flowers.

The people kneeling on the ground were still crying and begging, from crying for a bite to eat, to crying for the unfairness of fate, crying for the chaos in the world, crying for the blindness of heaven, crying for the fewer and fewer people around them, crying for not knowing where to go. They seemed to regard Lin Xiaoyue and her group as the last visible light in the world, the last ray of hope.

Unknowingly, more and more refugees joined in, surrounding the Lin family team in three layers, making it impossible to move forward or backward.

The sorrowful cries and pleas for mercy, the endless sorrow and grief were like an invisible shackle that bound every member of the Lin family team tightly, making them unable to move, unable to escape the heavy helplessness and sorrow.

But what can they do?

They have surplus food, but they dare not give it to others, nor can they afford it. With so many refugees, who can they give it to? How many people can they feed? What about themselves after they have given it?

Seeing that these people were just kneeling and begging, and had no intention of fighting them, Lin Xiaoyue lowered the tip of her knife and stopped pointing the sharp blade at these refugees. She bit her back teeth and shouted coldly, "Move aside, we're leaving, and anyone who blocks our way will die."

Although Xiaocao felt sad about the plight of these refugees, after hearing Lin Xiaoyue's words, he hardened his heart, threw off the reins of the mule cart, and shouted "Gee".

As the wooden wheels of the cart creaked as they pressed against the ground, the refugees felt as if they were falling into an abyss. Only one voice in their hearts reminded them that it was all over and there was no hope.

It’s not that they didn’t think about taking advantage of their numbers to surround the place and rob, no matter how much, and then run away.

But this group of people were obviously huddled together, each holding a sharp weapon pointing at them. Their full vigilance and extremely threatening weapons made the refugees feel intimidated.

The most important thing is that there is a little girl among them who looks only fourteen or fifteen years old. Her eyes are fierce and resolute, without a trace of mercy in them. Every flash is like an invisible sharp blade, ruthlessly cutting everything around her, which makes people shudder.
