The ancestral jade pendant is actually a space, so you don't need to panic when fleeing from fa

Village chief He Qiang paused here, obviously not wanting to mention that matter again.

Yu Qinghai did not urge him, but instead pulled him to find a place to sit down.

Yu Qinghai and several others surrounded Village Chief He Qiang and continued to listen to him talk about what happened next.

Village chief He Qiang also endured the hunger and continued to tell Yu Qinghai what they had encountered.

It turned out that they met another group of people later. This group of people specialized in capturing women and children. Most people in the village were captured.

Only a few dozen families were left behind, barely escaping.

But at that time they had completely run out of food, and they had no choice but to eat tree bark and grass roots along the way.

They continued to move forward. Yu Ling'er in the team couldn't bear the hardship, so she found a master to be her concubine on the road, and her family left the team.

The rest of the people followed the village chief He Qiang and are now staying in the dilapidated temple.

The young men in the family would go to the docks to work during the day to earn some money to support themselves. The older men would go out to beg like him.

Village chief He Qiang is standing there with a broken porcelain bowl in his hand. He is also begging.

Yu Qinghai couldn't bear to see the former village chief like this, so he softened his heart and bought him a few steamed buns to fill his stomach.

When Village Chief He Qiang saw the food, he couldn't be polite and started to eat it voraciously.

He hadn't eaten a full meal for two days. If he continued like this, he would starve to death sooner or later. Fortunately, he met Yu Qinghai's family and they put aside their past grudges.

Village chief He Qiang filled his stomach until he was about 70% full and stopped eating.

His face flushed as he asked, "Can I take these buns back for them to eat?"

After all, the little grandson and granddaughter at home were still hungry. Village chief He Qiang's grandson and granddaughter were also the few children who survived the famine.

Yu Qingqing was also touched when she heard that there was a child. After all, the village chief had not done anything to harm their family, so there was no need for her to embarrass him.

Yu Qingqing: "Village Chief, please eat more. We will go with you guys later. After all, we are all from the same village."

Yu Qingqing moved the steamed bun towards Village Chief He Qiang, indicating that he could continue eating.

Village chief He Qiang felt both moved and ashamed.

In the end, he couldn't stand the hunger anymore, so he ate another steamed bun and refused to eat any more.

Village chief He Qiang was also very hungry, so it was no wonder that he wanted to take it back, because the people in the dilapidated temple had been hungry for a long time just like him.

Yu Qinghai then asked them how they got into the town. After all, he remembered that they paid money when they came in.

The village chief He Qiang became even more sad when he mentioned him. Although their food was stolen, at least everyone still had some money.

But when they were here, they were all cheated, and finally they paid all their money before they could enter.

After all, if you don't come in, you will only die faster outside.

After hearing this, Yu Qinghai did not ask any more questions. He packed another hundred steamed buns and spent another hundred coins.

Village chief He Qiang felt a little guilty, but he couldn't pretend to be generous and reject other people's kindness on their behalf.

It was already noon at this time, and Yu Qingqing and the others just ate some steamed buns to get by.

The tools they used to set up their stall were no longer usable and they had to buy new ones later, so they planned to go directly to the ruined temple and throw away the broken items.

Yu Qinghai was carrying a large bag of steamed buns on his back, and his shoulders were burned by the hot buns.

Realizing that this was very uncomfortable, he asked the boss for a few cloth bags and packed the steamed buns separately so that each person could carry one in his hand.

Yu Qinghai stared at Village Chief He Qiang and said seriously: "Village Chief, don't feel pressured. These things are nothing. Just lead the way and we will go to see the people in the village. If you have anything to say, you can tell us directly when you have thought it through. We all come from the same place, and no one is more noble than anyone else."

Yu Qinghai was quite considerate. He noticed the look in the eyes of Village Chief He Qiang and knew what he was thinking.

When Village Chief He Qiang heard this, he was also deeply moved. However, he had no time to sigh, so he decided to take the people back earlier so that they would not be hungry for a while longer.

Village chief He Qiang choked up and said, "Okay, okay! You are great, just like your father, a kind and honest man. Let's keep going."

Village chief He Qiang led them into a small alley, and soon they arrived at a busy street.

Yu Qingqing followed behind, observing the surroundings and memorizing the route.

We passed a tavern and a casino, then came to a river and crossed the bridge.

We came to another street, but there were very few people.

After walking for about half an hour, we finally arrived at a hillside, which was already in the wilderness.

The group marched forward with difficulty under the scorching sun. Fortunately, Qingqing brought a lot of water, otherwise they would have really died of thirst.

After going down the slope, Yu Qingqing saw a dilapidated temple from afar.

There are many trees growing nearby, and there are many cicadas on the trees singing hard.

The terrain here seems to be a little high, with a lot of gravel on the ground, but relatively few weeds.

A group of people were gathered in the dilapidated temple at this time. Everyone inside looked haggard and looked exhausted.

Everyone was lying or sitting. The older ones had gone out to look for wild vegetables, leaving behind only the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

There was no hope on anyone's face and it felt like they were waiting to die.

The people who were looking for wild vegetables outside just came back and saw a few people walking towards them from a distance.

Aunt Mei had good eyesight and immediately recognized Yu Qinghai and others who were following the village chief.

Seeing that no one had come over yet, she ran inside excitedly, shouting as she ran: "Come out quickly, all of you come out quickly. The Yu family kid is here with the village chief, you all come out quickly."

It's no wonder Aunt Mei was so excited. After all the escapes, everyone felt that following the Yu family wouldn't be bad. It was just their fault for being blind and driving others away.

Soon, after hearing Aunt Mei's words, the people in the dilapidated temple tried their best to support their broken bodies and moved out step by step.

"Village chief, you are finally back. This is the boy from the Yu family. I can't recognize him." Aunt Mei was the first to run to Yu Qinghai, and she was in a very happy mood.

Yu Qinghai greeted her warmly, and only then did he realize how hard their journey had been.
