The Imperial Guards are the emperor's personal lackeys. In the Yan Dynasty, their status is comparable to that of the prime minister!

An official of this level must have a map!

But how can we get the map of Yan Dynasty from them?

She needs to think about this carefully!

With the Imperial Guards leading the way, shouting and killing, the victims of Muyang Village quickly walked out of the village.

In a short while, Muyang Village was left far behind!

The younger generation does not have much sense of belonging to their hometown. They feel that leaving Muyang Village and going to Chongzhou City is just changing the place to live, which is no big deal!

They quickly adjusted their mood and ran towards Chongzhou City with curiosity and yearning!

However, the older generation is not as free and easy as the young people.

They have lived in Muyang Village for most of their lives, and have the feeling that they are the roots of Muyang Village when they are alive and the soil of Muyang Village when they die!

It seemed that it was only a step away from sinking into the loess and completely merging with Muyang Village.

Unexpectedly, a once-in-a-century famine struck at this time, shattering all their expectations!

They couldn't bear it any longer and started to sob in pain!

Although it wasn't very loud, the sound of nearly a hundred elderly people sobbing in unison was still a sensation!

The Royal Guards were disturbed by their sobbing, so they waved their whips angrily and hit the sobbing old people.

The whip was raised high and fell on the flesh. The sound of flesh tearing was heard, and the whimpering sound suddenly turned into miserable wails.

Their families saw what was happening and were worried, but they did not dare to say anything, for fear of angering them and bringing even more crazy revenge.

These ten royal guards are beasts. They will not show mercy just because you are an old man.

On the contrary, they prefer to bully the elderly because they have no ability to resist and are easy to control. They will be obedient if they are beaten up.

The Royal Guards did not stop fighting until they were exhausted, but there were already more than a dozen elderly people over 60 years old lying on the ground, unable to get up, and it seemed that they were about to die.

Their families were afraid of delaying the journey and the Imperial Guards taking it out on them, so they had no choice but to quickly carry them on their backs!

As the team goes downhill, Muyang Village will be buried forever in the mountains.

Lu Qingqing quietly turned around to take a look at the poplar tree at the entrance of the village, which had lost its leaves long ago but was still standing tall!

Once I go to Chongzhou City, I may never have the chance to set foot in Muyang Village again in my life.

As the saying goes, I feel more timid when I am close to home and I dare not ask the people who come!

Maybe I will never have the chance to experience it again in this life!

I would be lying if I said I wasn't lonely or sad!

Muyang Village is also her root. In her memory, the scenes of her mother taking her into the mountains to pick herbs are engraved in Lu Qingqing's mind frame by frame!

If she could choose to stay, Lu Qingqing would rather stay in Muyang Village for the rest of her life!

Yang Liuqing saw Lu Qingqing looking back and said hurriedly, "Don't look back, look forward!"

There is no hope if you look back, there is hope only if you move forward. Lu Qingqing nodded quietly.

The team left the village, turned a hill, left the rural road and came to the official road.

There was no wind or sand on the official road, and one could clearly see a large group of disaster victims ahead, who had left their homes under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Guards.

These are the disaster victims from the neighboring Niujiao Village. Niujiao Village is larger than Muyang Village, with a population of more than 800 people. When the two villages are combined, there are more than 1,300 disaster victims on the road together.

As soon as the two sides of the Royal Guards met, they started arguing with each other.

They didn't talk about anything nice, and from time to time they glanced at the young female victims in the team.

Lu Qingqing narrowed her eyes coldly, and stretched out her left hand into the space to take out a handful of pot ash.

"Second Aunt, here you go." Lu Qingqing suddenly held Yang Liuqing's hand and gave her half of the ash from the pot.

Yang Liuqing looked down and immediately understood what was going on.

Do Land Rover and Land Expedition know what they are going to do?

He quickly stood beside them inconspicuously to provide them with protection!

The two men waited until the royal guards weren't paying attention, then smeared some on their faces to cover their fair cheeks.

I didn't dare to apply too much, just just enough. After I was done, I turned around quietly to let the other person see that it wasn't too abrupt, and then I felt relieved!

The two groups of imperial guards were talking so much that they seemed to have forgotten the time. They set out at noon and walked until 12 o'clock in the evening, but they had not been asked to stop and rest.

The victims did not dare to stop on their own and had to keep walking with difficulty, despite their tired bodies and hungry stomachs.

Finally, the group entered a dense jungle. When the moonlight slowly hung over the treetops and shone through, Shen Biao's loud voice finally came from the front!

"Stop, cook if you need to, rest if you need to, and set off again tomorrow morning!"

The sound seemed like the sound of nature. Without even having time to look where they were, everyone lay down where they were, closed their eyes, and rested, waiting until they had enough rest before getting up to cook!

Yang Liuqing quickly took out a piece of oilcloth from his backpack, and in the light of the moon, spread the oilcloth under a big tree, and let everyone sit down and rest!

So-called rest means discussing what to cook?

We walked for six hours straight and our bodies had already used up all their energy.

At this time, it would be best to have some hot soup to warm your stomach, and then a bowl of porridge with a fried egg with chopped green onions to fill your stomach!

But with the Imperial Guards in front and the disaster victims with no food left watching closely behind, even if they had more food left, they would not dare to eat so wantonly!

They looked at each other and immediately decided that each person should eat two rice balls!

Second Aunt prepared the vegetable rice balls overnight the day before so that she could eat them when it was inconvenient to be on the road.

Yang Liuqing took out the bag, opened it, and quickly gave each person two rice balls with vegetables!

Vegetable rice balls are made of cooked rice and some wild vegetables.

It was almost mid-September and autumn had arrived, but the weather did not get any cooler at all. The prepared vegetable rice balls could only be kept for a day before they went bad.

The vegetable rice balls were cold. Wild vegetables have a grassy smell to begin with, and the smell becomes even stronger when cold, making it very unpalatable!

But everyone was so tired and hungry that these hard-to-swallow rice balls tasted like meat!

Lu Qingqing felt sad when she saw everyone wolfing down their food. She quickly took out five hot meat buns from the space in the dark and stuffed them into her backpack.

When the buns were almost cold, he quietly stuffed one into everyone's hand.

When everyone saw clearly what Lu Qingqing had stuffed into her pocket, they all looked at her in shock.

Lu Qingqing quickly explained: "I bought it at the market yesterday. I kept it warm in the basket. Eat it while it's hot and don't let anyone see it."

Each person ate one steamed bun, and this was the food before the famine. After the famine, everyone developed the habit of living frugally.

My second uncle and second aunt refused to finish a bun and insisted on breaking it into two halves, eating half and leaving the other half.

Seeing that his parents didn't eat the whole bun, Lu Yuanzheng quickly followed their example and broke one into two to eat. Lu Yaoyao did the same.

Lu Qingqing sighed and quickly advised: "Uncle and Aunt, the buns won't last long. They should be wasted tomorrow."

Land Rover: "If you don't keep it for long, you can eat it tomorrow morning!"

Yang Liuqing also said: "It's still two hours before dawn, it won't get bad."

Lu Qingqing: ………

Seeing that she couldn't persuade them, Lu Qingqing had no choice but to let them go, but in her heart she was thinking about how to cook the chicken in her space and eat it secretly?

Looking into the depths of the dense forest, Lu Qingqing immediately had an idea.

"Second Aunt, I'll go inside to relieve myself later."

Yang Liuqing looked at her and was about to speak when she saw three imperial guards coming over to check the population.
