"Those who want to take the official road should hurry up. We will set off in a cup of tea. Once we enter the mountain, there will be no turning back."

Shen Zhenyuan finally understood everything. People's minds have always been fickle, and now they are on the road to escape famine. It is obvious that his words as the village chief are no longer effective.

In this case, let's just go our separate ways. Otherwise, if a team with divided members is forced to stay together, it will not be good for anyone.

This is a special time. If some people do something small, the team will become even more divided, and it may cause even greater trouble.

Well, he asked himself that he had done well enough!

Even if he goes to the underworld to meet his ancestors in the future, he will not be ashamed.

For the rest of the journey, he could only try his best to take care of his family.

As soon as Shen Zhenyuan said this, several people in the team became restless.

"Our team is large and safe. Those who want to take the official road can come first."

As soon as Shen Liubai said this, seven or eight families sparsely walked towards their team, and there were less than 15 families left.

When the remaining people saw that there were so few people on their side, they instantly lost their sense of security, and half of them walked over.

Shen Zhenyuan sighed deeply in his heart. It seemed that the battle a few days ago had made them lose their composure and they could no longer recognize their own strength.

Shen Liubai looked at Shen Changshan, "Brother Changshan, do you want to come with us?"

After hearing what he said, the villagers with him looked at Shen Changshan with hope. It would be great if he could be with them!

Shen Changshan also sensed the hostility in his words, but he didn't care. "No need, I'll take the mountain road."

Shen Liubai nodded, "It's also because Brother Changshan's family are all capable people."

After he finished speaking, many villagers looked at him with meaningful eyes.

There were also some people who looked at him with hostility. Shen Changshan had helped them a lot along the way, but now it seemed that only a few of them remembered him, and he had actually brought out a group of ungrateful people.

Shen Li looked at Shen Liubai. This man was so confident. She hoped that his confidence could last forever.

I wanted to take a look at my side, but I didn't expect that the Shen family didn't go over there. This was unexpected.

Feeling Shen Li's gaze, Shen Changfeng, He Laidie and others avoided her and avoided confronting her.

It was Shen Jiaojiao and Shen Wensong, the former gave him a soft and pretty smile, and the latter showed a gentle expression.

Shen Li looked away. The heroine was there, and the hero was naturally there too. The plot had already come to this point, so was it necessary to develop further?

Or does the plot want to drag this family into taking the blame for the male and female protagonists?

Over there, Shen Erhe looked at his wife and daughter who were becoming increasingly thin. Ever since the water spilled last time, his mother had withheld their food rations and water, causing the already thin family of three to become even thinner.

Long-term dehydration can also cause your lips to become dry and cracked, your dry and yellow hair to become even drier, and your skin to become even more sallow.

No, this can't go on!

So, while Yang Chunyan was watching the fun, he ran directly to the water bucket. There was not much water left in the house, and there were only two large wooden barrels.

"Mom, our family also walks on mountain roads."

"Shut up, you say..." Yang Chunyan looked back, her soul almost flew away, "Second brother, what are you doing?"

"Second brother, what are you doing? Stop it!"

The whole family looked at Shen Erhe nervously, fearing that he might spill the bucket of water due to a trembling hand.

"Second brother, let's discuss something, don't touch the water."

Shen Erhe saw the expressions on their faces and repeated, "Dad, Mom, our family also takes the mountain road."

Yang Chunyan pointed at him and said, "Why take the mountain road? Isn't it better to take the official road? You..."

Shen Erhe's father looked at him with an old face, "Second brother, why do you have to walk on the mountain road?"

Brother Shen curled his lips and said, "Second brother, if you want to walk the mountain road, go by yourself, don't drag us along!"

When people around saw the farce in their family, they all stopped to watch. What was wrong with Shen Erhe?

After hearing this, Shen Erhe exerted a little force with his hands, and the bucket tilted. Seeing that the water was about to fall out, Yang Chunyan kept shouting that it was a sin.

"Second brother, just tell me what you want to do, and don't touch the water."

Shen Erhe said in a serious tone: "Take the mountain road!"

Just seeing his stubborn look made Yang Chunyan so angry that she anxiously looked for Yunniang and her daughter in the crowd.

He wanted to use the two of them to threaten Shen Erhe, but after looking around, he didn't see the mother and daughter.

"Second brother, the mountain road is narrow and steep, and it is not easy to walk. Our home is on the official road, which is quite suitable."

Shen Erhe shook his head, and his father narrowed his eyes, "Second brother, stop beating around the bush, just tell me what you want to do when you act like this!"

"Then I'll tell you, I'm leaving with Yunniang and Xiaoya."

Yang Chunyan nodded hurriedly, "Sure, you and your family can go wherever you like."

Without the second child, she still had the third and fourth children. Someone had to push the cart at home, and the second child's family still had to pay for food and water.

Shen Erhe nodded, "In that case, I will take a bag of food and half a bucket of water later."

"What did you say?"

Yang Chunyan thought she had heard wrongly, wondering who gave the second brother the courage to ask for such a huge price.

"no!"

"no!"

"In that case, let's pour out this bucket of water!" As he said that, a lot of water flowed out.

"Stop it, second brother. You poured out this bucket of water. Do you want to kill the whole family?"

Shen Erhe looked at his father with a bitter smile: "If we continue like this, Yunniang and Xiaoya will be gone. Since my whole family is about to die, everyone should stay with us!"

His words shocked his parents. They didn't expect that the second son's resentment towards them was so strong.

This won't work in the long run, so if that's the case, then let him do as he wishes.

"Okay, you can take a bag of food, and some of the water."

Shen Erhe looked bitter, "Then please ask Dad and Mom to find someone to write a document to divide the family."

Shen Erhe knew very well that if they separated here today, it would be extremely difficult to meet again in the future.

"Row."

Although they were on the road to escape famine, some people still brought pens, ink, paper and inkstone. They quickly asked someone to write a document of division of the family and handed it to Shen Erhe. He carefully put away the document of division of the family and the household registration documents before letting go.

At this time, Shen Xiaoya and Yun Niang came out of the crowd, packed up their things, and were worrying about how to get the water when Shen Yuanzhou came over carrying a clean wooden barrel.

"Uncle Erhe, I'll lend this bucket to your family first."

"Okay, thank you Yuanzhou."

After half a bucket of water was filled, Yang Chunyan refused to pour any more water no matter what. Shen Erhe did not argue anymore and left with his wife and daughter without looking back.

After settling his wife and daughter, Shen Erhe walked back alone when the team was about to set off and knelt in front of his parents.

"Dad and Mom, take care of yourselves in the future."

After bowing, he stood up and left, his tall figure revealing a sense of loneliness.
