There were children in the crowd, clamoring for food. Not only the children, but also the adults were hungry.

Everyone was staring at the things in Li the Butcher and the others' arms, their eyes never leaving them.

"Yes, village chief, please distribute the food quickly. Everyone is waiting to have a bite, and the good children are hungry too. It's about time to eat now, right?"

A woman in the crowd urged Village Chief He Qiang to start distributing food. When they saw the food, they couldn't wait any longer.

Village Chief He Qiang glanced at them, then looked at Li the Butcher and the others. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said:

"Let me make this clear first. You guys who gave money just now said what you want to buy, so you can take what you said.

Don't take things that you shouldn't take, such as the food they bought.

Eat slowly, don't finish it all at once, there is still a long time to come.

Adults can eat tree roots, leaves, etc., and children can eat dry food. You can decide for yourself.

Don't eat all the food by yourself and then come to me to make trouble. It's no use if you come to me, everyone is on their own now.

There are refugees everywhere now. It is not easy to find something to eat. Our place is not secluded enough.

As for the stuff, let them take it first. We will find a secret place to divide it up.

The words here are easy to be targeted, as you just saw.

They've all been targeted when they come back, so if you don't want to lose anything, you'd better listen to me.

Let’s continue walking over there, and then find a secluded corner to eat.

If the child is hungry, you adults should comfort him first, do you hear me?"

Village chief He Qiang was not impulsive because of the urging of the villagers, and he really went to share the food.

He didn't have time to see what they bought. He only knew that the place was full of other refugees.

If you take things out casually, you will definitely be targeted by others.

He didn't want the same thing to happen again. Not only would his things be stolen, but people might also get hurt, which would be a loss.

When the crowd heard the village chief's voice, they suddenly fell silent.

They thought they were urging the village chief because they were too anxious. Now that they think about it, what the village chief said makes sense.

No matter how long I have endured hunger, it is impossible that I cannot bear it this time.

As for children, let them make a fuss. There is nothing we can do about it. It is so dangerous here.

If you take your stuff out, it's hard to guarantee that it won't be robbed.

So you should continue on your way to a safe place and then take your things out.

So Li the butcher also stepped forward and said to the others with a sad face:

"Village Chief, I'm sorry, I really didn't consider what you said just now.

It's really not suitable to divide things here. We should continue on our way and divide them when we get there.

This time, I bought steamed buns which were still hot, but as for steamed buns, each family might share a small portion.

We also know that, and we will definitely save this. You can rest assured, let's continue on our journey now, and we will share it when we get there."

Although Li the Butcher was speaking to other people, he was also saying this to the village chief.

Let the village chief know that they are not such ignorant people. They can't help themselves when they see food. They should look at the situation and find a safe place to make a decision.

After hearing what Li the Butcher and the village chief said, everyone didn't say anything else.

So everyone stood up, packed their other things, and told the people behind them to get up and get ready to continue on their journey.

There were also people in Shuihe Village, some were pushing carts, some had packages, some had pots and some had clay pots.

They took all kinds of things, even some old quilts. Everyone took their own things and continued on their way. No one mentioned the food.

Then he asked Li the Butcher and his men to carry the food and walk in the middle of the team.

There will still be some men outside the team to provide protection.

Some of them are injured and have not recovered yet, but their knives are not lost, and some of them can continue patrolling with knives.

They continued on their journey, and Village Chief He Qiang walked slowly in the middle of the team and continued to move forward.

At this time, the sun had slowly set behind the mountain, leaving only a little afterglow scattered among the clouds in the sky.

The clouds were illuminated by the afterglow of the sun, and they were all golden in color.

Not far from the horizon, occasionally there would be strange-looking geese flying by one after another.

The people from Shuihe Village were only concerned with getting on their way and had no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery on the horizon.

The sky was golden, a beautiful sight, while the ground was also withered and yellow, echoing each other.

Li the butcher and his group walked forward slowly. Like Yu Qingqing and her group, they took the path next to Hukou Town.

The small roads are relatively narrow and not as easy to walk on as the official roads.

Fortunately, they didn't have a carriage, so no matter what the road was like, it wouldn't have much impact on them.

It's just a little bit, and there are some steep slopes. Those who are older have to rest after every step.

The villagers were also kind and took care of them and let them rest. After all, they had been traveling for a whole day. At the end of the team was Aunt Mei's family.

The family was left with no dry food, as they had all been robbed before.

After walking for about an hour, the sky gradually darkened.

Li the Butcher and his companions came to a valley where there was a large open space with relatively few weeds.

It was bare and mostly covered with stones. The valley was just right to block the wind, so they decided to rest here tonight.

There are also a few trees blocking the view, so if you don't look carefully you won't be able to see that there are people here.

“Village chief, let’s rest here. I think the terrain here is pretty good and can block the wind.

Then I think we should distribute all the things and let them arrange it themselves.

If it's night time, we still have to have people patrolling, but we'll need to have more fires.

After all, the temperature will drop as the night progresses. Lighting a fire can also prevent animals from approaching.

Butcher Li handed the wrapped steamed buns in his arms directly to the village chief and asked him to distribute them.

He swallowed his saliva countless times while holding the steamed bun just now.

In the end, I managed to hold it back and didn't eat secretly.
