As they walked out of the door, Grandpa Lin just happened to come over carrying a big bag.

Mumu hurriedly went forward and hugged his legs.

"grandfather."

He touched his head and called out in a trembling voice, "Mumu."

After a while, the families of Shitou and Niu Niu also came.

They drove the ox cart and reluctantly threw away many things in the house, so the things they had were not very many, almost all of them were clothes and food.

The weather was very cold, and their oxcart was bare and could not be shielded from the wind, but the Chu family's carriage could not accommodate so many people.

Finally it was decided that the women and children would ride in horse-drawn carriages, and the men in ox-drawn carts.

Once everything is arranged, let's set off immediately.

The horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts moved forward slowly, and everyone couldn't help but look back at the small village.

The men's eyes were red and the women were crying quietly.

The little ones felt the adults' sadness and started crying too.

After they left Xiaolin Village, they did not dare to stop along the way.

Chu Changfeng would go ahead to explore the way from time to time. If he met officials on the road, he could just arrest them directly.

Fortunately, the journey was relatively smooth.

By evening, we finally left the county town.

It was difficult to travel at night, so Chu Changfeng found an abandoned house for everyone to rest.

Although no one lives in the house, it can shelter from wind and snow.

Everyone wrapped themselves in their thickest clothes, burned firewood, and sat around together to dispel some of the cold.

The men had been sitting on the ox cart, feeling the cold wind and feeling chilled all over. They only warmed up after sitting by the fire for a long time.

Besides being cold, I was hungry.

Everyone's stomach was rumbling. Shen Zhi placed the pot on the firewood, added water, bacon, dried vegetables and various seasonings, and then put the ramen in.

The noodles are simmering and the taste is very fragrant.

Everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Soon, everyone had a bowl of ramen in their hands and started eating.

Although the conditions are simple, eating a bowl of hot noodles in the snow and ice is already a heavenly enjoyment.

"You guys even made noodles and brought them with you. We...we only brought rice, noodles and preserved frozen fish, which were very little..."

After the meal, Aunt Zhang and her friends felt very embarrassed.

"You can't always eat your food. Eat our fish and rice tomorrow!"

Shen Zhi: "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, we have a long way to go, and there will definitely be times when you can help us!"

Aunt Zhang: "That's a deal. We can just leave the food at your place and use it however you want."

"No need." Shen Zhi laughed.

After eating, everyone was warm, but no one dared to go too far away from the fire.

Shen Zhi found a few large blankets, and Aunt Zhang and the others also had some.

The little ones hugged each other and wrapped the blanket tightly.

Shen Zhi and Chu Changfeng leaned against each other, and the large blanket wrapped them tightly.

His body was very warm, and I didn't feel cold when I nestled in his arms.

"Zhizhi...are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, don't worry about me."

He kissed her forehead, "Are your feet cold?"

"A little bit, but it's not too cold. It will warm up after a while."

He tapped her head, "How long have we been roasting? It's not like I don't know what your situation is."

Shen Zhi pursed her lips, "What else can I do, you..."

Before she could finish her words, he suddenly started taking off her shoes.

"What are you doing?"

Chu Changfeng whispered: "My hands are hot, let me warm your feet. Don't worry, we are wrapped in blankets and they can't see."

After saying that, he had already taken off all her shoes and held her feet in his warm, large hands.

Her white toes curled up, and she lowered her head uncomfortably against his chest, her ears red, "But... it's dirty..."

"What's so dirty about it? Just lean on me and go to sleep. We have to travel tomorrow."

Shen Zhi pursed her lips and quietly kissed his Adam's apple.

Chu Changfeng's eyes trembled, her hands suddenly tightened, her feet were suddenly held tightly, and her breathing trembled.

After a long while, he held her body and said, "Stop fooling around and go to sleep."

The next day, at dawn, everyone packed up and set off.

However, after walking for less than two hours, they encountered a group of soldiers who were arresting people.

There were cries all along the road.

Chu Changfeng returned quickly and wanted to take everyone to hide.

However, when he arrived, several soldiers appeared from nowhere and surrounded everyone.

"Except the children, take them all away!"

Everyone's face turned pale. Aunt Zhang and the others were so scared that they immediately knelt down and begged, but the officials would never let them go so easily.

Chu Changfeng looked at Chu Xiao.

The two of them exchanged glances and then took action together.

One of the father and son was a bodyguard who escorted goods all day long, and the other was a soldier who killed people on the battlefield. They knocked out several officers in just a few moves.

Chu Changfeng knew that there were still a lot of people behind them and they couldn't confront them head-on, so he quickly led everyone into the mountain through the small path nearby.

After entering the mountain, they asked everyone to hide. Chu Xiao stayed to protect everyone, while Chu Changfeng went to check the situation.

It turned out that there were several villages around the mountain they arrived at, and the soldiers were arresting people there.

Most of the men and women in the village were arrested.

Even children in their teens caught a lot.

Chu Changfeng clenched his fists and his eyes became red.

But he could do nothing. He was not alone now, there were so many people who needed protection.

Everyone stayed on the mountain, and soon their lips turned white from the cold.

But now every village is full of officials and it is impossible to leave at all.

Chu Changfeng was looking for a cave in the mountains again.

Finally, we found a dry and spacious cave.

After finally reaching the cave with great difficulty, everyone was frozen stiff and had no feeling in their hands and feet.

The little ones' faces were red from the cold and their feet were so stiff that it hurt to walk.

Xiaobao has been held in his grandfather's arms and is in good spirits.

Chu Changfeng set up some traps at the entrance of the cave, and together with Uncle Zhang and others, he built a simple shed for the cows and horses, and then hurried in to make a fire.

Seeing Shen Zhi holding Chu Jinnian with her lips trembling, he gritted his teeth and felt heartbroken.

Finally, after a long time, the fire started.

Everyone came over quickly.

After working for most of the day, it was getting late and everyone was hungry.

Chu Xiao, Uncle Zhang and others stayed behind to protect everyone, while Chu Changfeng took his tools and prepared to go out hunting.

You can't just eat the food you brought from home on the road, otherwise you will go hungry sooner or later.

Shen Zhi quickly pulled him out of the cave, "Don't go, we brought so much food, don't take risks!"

"Zhizhi, even if we bring more, it won't be enough for so many people every day. Besides, we don't know how many dangers there will be along the way. We should hunt if we can."

Shen Zhi frowned, "But..."

He held her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Just stay in the cave and don't come out."

She bit her lip and said nothing.

Chu Changfeng lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth, "I'll be back within an hour, okay?"

She hugged his waist tightly, "Then hurry up, come back if there's nothing, and run away if you encounter large prey. Nothing is more important than you."

"Okay." He agreed gently.
