Every time I wear it quickly, there are always big guys giving it away.

Chapter 333: The Ex-fiancée in the Break-off and Upgrade Flow 60

I was wandering aimlessly before, but now I have met a kind-hearted noble person. Is there any need for me to hesitate?

No need!

No matter where you go, we'll go together!

The old woman swore to brainwash the other villagers, "Instead of worrying about encountering bandits, it is better to follow the nobles. With so many guards to deter them, the bandits will have to think twice before coming up to die. Since we can't go back to our hometown anymore, does it matter where we settle down?"

This brainwashing tactic was only circulated among the villagers, and no one dared to let the nobles hear it.

Li Er, who was placed with high hopes, was trembling with fear and lowered his head, fearing that his thoughts would be seen through.

Xia Wei understood that Li Er's thoughts were too easy to guess, and it would be of no use even if he lowered his head very low.

Xia Wei learned the ability to see through people's hearts from her master, and she has never failed to do so.

Unless, this Li Er has a good ability to hide.

Xia Wei narrowed her eyes and scanned Li Er from head to toe. She didn't look away until his scalp was numb. She said in a normal tone, "Is it on the way to Longquan County?"

Now is a time of trouble. Although Longquan County is actually a city, it is still called by its original name to the outside world, so as not to be used as a target by the princes and be eliminated soon.

This is probably what Yang Mei calls "low-key development"?

Longquan County?

Oops, I seem to have heard of it, but I don’t have any specific impression.

Li Er shuddered, his smile became stiff, "On the way, we are going to Longquan County!" He also nodded heavily to show that he was not lying.

No matter where you heard it before, this is God’s will!

Xia Wei added: "You can follow us on our journey. If there are those who are restless, don't blame us for being ruthless."

The cold words implied murderous intent. He really would kill someone!

Li Er waved his hands hurriedly: "We are very honest, how dare we cause trouble for the officials!"

Xia Wei closed the scabbard and nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."

Li Er walked back to the crowd with his hands and feet together. The old woman looked at him with dismay, "Why did I give birth to such a cowardly thing——"

Li Er was originally a strong young man with a sturdy build and the strength of an ox. How long had he been hungry? Not only did he become thin, but he also lost his courage?

This is really unfair to Li Er. He has the strength of an ox, but he has never killed anyone or done anything evil. He is the most honest farmer!

Where have you ever seen a meat grinder on a battlefield?

It is normal to be shocked by the other party's murderous aura.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to come back.

"I asked, I found out." Li Er took a sip of warm water and quickly answered, "They are going to Longquan County..."

"Longquan County? I think I've heard of it."

"Longquan County seems to be in the northernmost part of Longbei?"

"Oh shit, isn't that desolate?"

……

"What are you yelling about? You've angered the noble. Are you going to leave?" At the critical moment, the old woman has to show up, especially the old woman who has eaten and drunk enough. Her fighting power should not be underestimated. "What are our identities now?"

She stared at everyone with her sharp eyes, causing them to lower their heads. One person hesitated, "Refugees?"

"Yes, refugees!" The old woman nodded affirmatively. "Now that others don't want us, we have no choice! I think the northernmost part is pretty good, maybe they are short of people!"

"Aunt is right. As long as we are willing to endure hardships, we are not afraid of any desolate place!"

"But if we don't have a place to stay, we might be kidnapped by bandits one day."

"That's exactly the point!"

"Although the north is desolate, it certainly doesn't have floods like ours..."

When the flood was mentioned, the people who had just been excited suddenly became depressed.

The place where they have lived for generations has abundant water resources and is a rare fertile land.

Logically speaking, as long as you are willing to work hard, the harvest will definitely be good!

But that is not the case. Whenever the rainy season comes, the river water will surge. In the past, the men, women and children in the village would carry stones and sandbags to block the river to prevent the situation from getting worse.

The flood season came exceptionally early this year, and all the able-bodied laborers in the village were called away to perform labor service. As a result, the village was short of manpower and was unable to stop the flood in time. This caused the flood to destroy the crops and damage the houses.

If the old woman had not decisively led people up the mountain to avoid the flood, they would probably not have waited for Li Er and others to come back to rescue them.

The villagers felt heartbroken when they thought of the horrific flood, the fields, livestock and houses that were still submerged in the flood, and the people who were washed away by the flood.

Oh my God, open your eyes and look, they have no way to survive!

"It seems they have decided to go to Longquan County? Then what about us..." The woman was a little anxious. She looked at Bai Li, waiting for him to make a decision.

Bai Li considered the current situation and decided that the further south they went, the closer they would be to developed areas, and the greater the possibility of being recognized; Longquan County was located in the northernmost part of Longbei, and its desolation was obvious, but the possibility of them encountering danger would also be minimized.

From this perspective, going to Longquan County is actually the most suitable choice.

The woman saw his intention and nodded.

"I'm sorry for wronging you!"

Bai Li felt that he had failed in his duty and had not protected his master and the young master.

The woman shook her head slightly and said seriously, "On the contrary, the reason why my child and I were able to escape was because of you—"

If Bai Li hadn't come to rescue them, I'm afraid that the mother and son would have lost their lives on the day the city was broken. Although life is difficult now, they feel a little more free.

She is no longer the noble lady who is detached from the world, and he is no longer the knight who has nothing.

they are the same.

The wheels turned slowly, and the carriage was moving at a moderate speed. Behind it were groups of people, helping each other and struggling to make their way.

Xia Wei frowned as he watched. These were truly the most miserable group of people he had ever seen: not only were they poorly clothed, but they also had to rely on their feet to travel day and night, and their feet were in a shabby state from excessive walking.

He felt sympathy, but was also very troubled.

If this goes on, when will we be able to return to Longquan County? Every second of delay will increase the danger to our masters.

This is what he doesn't want to see!

When he was extremely conflicted, there was a regular knocking sound in the carriage, and Xia Wei entered the carriage.

"I remember Yang Mei taught the villagers how to make a cart before. Do you remember how to do it?" Chen Jia said patiently, "It is impossible for them to catch up with the carriage with their feet. Why not teach them to make a convenient and labor-saving cart? Then they may be able to keep up with our speed."

When Yang Mei presented the cart drawings that day, Xia Wei had personally participated in the entire process of making the cart, so it should not be a problem for him to teach the villagers.

Xia Wei first thought of the wheelbarrow, which was the easiest to succeed. At the end of a day's journey, when everyone was resting in groups of three or four, he called Li Er, who seemed to be the strongest among the villagers, and whispered something to him.

Li Er's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately. He took the shiny axe handed to him as if it were a treasure and excitedly went into the woods.
