Huo Jinqian looked at Gao Zhijun who was in deep thought, his brows furrowed and his face full of worry.

Who is she thinking about? The man she is engaged to?

Who is she worried about? The man she is engaged to?

Thinking of this, Huo Jinqian felt depressed and uncomfortable, and a little breathless.

The grandmother and her family, whom Gao Zhili missed, were also in Qinghe County at this moment. Gao Zhijun was in the mountains, while they were on the official road.

The original owner's grandmother was named Zhuang Die. Her husband died very early, and she raised her three children alone.

Zhuang Die is a smart and capable woman, otherwise she would not have been able to raise three children.

Her three children are the eldest, Sun Fusheng, the second, Sun Yunniang, and the third, Sun Fushou.

The eldest son, Sun Fusheng, is 43 years old this year. He married Zhou Yuyi, who is 41 years old this year. She gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Sun Tiechi, is 22 years old this year. He married Shui Linglong, who gave birth to two sons, Sun Dawen, 3 years old, and Sun Dawu, 1 year old. The second daughter, Sun Yuejiao, is 20 years old this year and has been married. The youngest son, Sun Tielong, is 18 years old this year. He is the cousin that the original owner wanted to marry.

The second child, Sun Yunniang, was the original owner's mother, but unfortunately she is dead.

The third son, Sun Fushou, is 40 years old this year. He married Qian Xiaocui, who is 39 years old this year. They have a son and a daughter. The son, Sun Tiehai, is 17 years old this year. He married Bai Ruojun, who is 16 years old this year. They have a daughter who just turned one year old. The daughter, Sun Yue'e, is 15 years old this year. She is engaged but not married yet.

"Boss, is there any news about your sister's family?"

Grandma Sun and Zhuang Die asked their eldest son Sun Fusheng anxiously.

Before fleeing the famine, she asked her eldest son to go to Gaoling Village, hoping that her daughter, son-in-law and grandson would flee with them so that they could take care of them.

However, when the eldest brother arrived there, he found out that the people in Gaoling Village had already fled the famine.

They had no choice but to pack up their things at night and try to catch up with them.

Fortunately, her second grandson Sun Tielong bought a cow and a lot of food for her family, so her family did not starve to death on the way to escape the famine.

While fleeing from famine, she kept asking around for her daughter's whereabouts, but unfortunately every time she found out she was disappointed.

They only arrived in Qinghe County yesterday and saw the people from Gaoling Village, but not their daughter's family.

She asked her eldest son to go to Gaoling Village to inquire early in the morning. When she saw her eldest son coming back, she hurriedly asked him.

Sun Fusheng made his expression more normal before saying, "Mom, the head of Gaoling Village said that my sister's mother-in-law is too much of a troublemaker. The villagers couldn't stand it anymore, so they drove her family out of Gaoling Village. Now he doesn't know anything about my sister's family."

What Sun Fusheng didn’t say was that Village Chief Gao said that his sister’s family had been following Gaoling Village.

When they were in Xiangyang County, they encountered bandits who killed and robbed anyone they saw. They heard screams from behind and fled desperately.

He saw the bandits killing his sister's mother-in-law, but he didn't see anything else. He was just trying to escape.

Gaoling Village originally had 70 households, but now only 32 are left. Those people must be in danger. My sister's family is probably in danger too.

In order not to make his mother sad, he decided to keep it a secret from her for as long as possible.

"My daughter! You have been driven out of Gaoling Village and are walking alone. I don't know what kind of dangers you will encounter."

"That damned old witch, couldn't she have been a little less violent under special circumstances? Now that they have been driven out of Gaoling Village, where will they go?

Even if we reach Jiangnan, how can we survive without fellow villagers to look after each other? "

"Big brother, third brother, you must find the second brother's family, do you hear me?"

When Zhuang heard that her daughter and her family were driven out of Gaoling Village and their whereabouts were unknown, she became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

She told her two sons to find her daughter and her family.

"Mom, don't worry. We will definitely find my sister's family."

"Mom, I will find my sister's family too."

Sun Fusheng and Sun Fushou comforted their mother and reassured her.

Only after hearing the assurances from her two sons did Mrs. Zhuang put her worries to rest.

Zhou Yuyi, who has lived with Sun Fusheng for more than 20 years, knows her husband's character very well.

My aunt's family must have encountered difficulties, or they have been killed, and my husband didn't want to make my mother-in-law sad, so he made up an excuse.

It’s no wonder that the person next to you knows the person next to you best. It is said that most two people who sleep in the same bed have a tacit understanding.

Zhou Yuyi's speculation was correct. Her aunt's family was indeed killed, leaving only her daughter and grandson.

"Qinghe County? We have already arrived in Qinghe County. Beyond Qinghe County is Liangzhou County, and beyond Liangzhou County is Liangzhou."

"After passing Liangzhou, you will enter Yongzhou, and after Yongzhou, you will reach Bingzhou. We are going to live in Bingzhou."

The village head and clan leaders were excited when they heard that they were already in Qinghe County.

Walking out of this deep mountain, you will reach Liangzhou. As long as you pass Liangzhou and enter Yongzhou, there will be water there.

In fact, many villagers wanted to go to Yongzhou, where there was government relief.

As long as it rains and there is water in the fields, they can return to their villages to live. This is how they always fled famine in the past.

Jin Qian told the villagers that in order for their descendants to live in peace, they should go to Bingzhou, where there was water all year round and they didn't have to worry about drought. Therefore, the villagers of Huojia Village sold their fields and houses before fleeing the famine. They wanted to settle in Bingzhou and live there for generations.

The laws of Daliang stipulated that in years of famine, refugees fleeing famine could ask for shelter, and the government had to arrange for them to stay and not drive them away.
