After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

When Ye Qing opened his eyes again, the sun had already set and the weather was not so hot. The village head came to inform everyone to walk more while it was cool.

Ye Qing looked at his brother's face covered in sweat and said distressedly, "Brother, let me down quickly. It's too heavy for me up here. I'll come down and walk for a while."

"Qingya, I'm not tired, you can take a nap."

"Brother, I've rested. I'll come down and take a walk and exercise." Ye Qing still cares about his brother very much.

Zhou felt very happy watching her two children loving each other. She quickly carried Ye Qing down and said, "Qingya, let's go for a while. It's time for dinner."

Qingya was carrying a basket and walking while staring at the roadside. Occasionally, when she came across some wild vegetables, she would dig them up and put them in the basket.

Some of the withered and yellow ones were not spared. Although the roots were not tasty, they could be stewed into porridge with brown rice, which also saved some food.

It was not until it was completely dark that the village head began to let everyone rest.

The Ye brothers had been pushing the cart for a whole day and were exhausted. They took down the straw mat on the cart and spread it on the ground.

The men are at the outermost edge, surrounding the food, women and children in the middle. If someone comes at night, they can just get up and stop them.

Li took a few daughters-in-law to cook dinner. Now they were fleeing from famine, so it was not the time to be particular. They just cooked something simple, ate it, and went to bed early, as they had to travel early the next morning.

Just when he finished his meal and was about to rest, the youngest son of the village head came to call people to discuss something. Old man Ye did not push the cart. He rested for a while. He was in good spirits at this time, so he followed directly.

The village head saw Old Man Ye and hurriedly asked them to sit down. Seeing that most people had arrived, he got straight to the point and said, "Everyone has seen the situation on the road today. There are too many people fleeing famine. We can't follow the original route. The personnel are scattered and we are too passive when encountering any problems. So each family will select one person to join the patrol team to protect everyone's safety. The people in the patrol team will be divided into two teams, one for the first half of the night and the other for the second half of the night. Let's start tonight.

Everyone knew that they had to leave someone on the lookout at night. After walking all day, they would definitely sleep soundly at night. With someone patrolling, they could also get a good night's sleep.

Ye Qing saw Old Man Ye and came over to support him: "Grandpa, what did the village head say? Why did he come to you so late at night?"

"It's nothing. We're just discussing that one person from each family will go to keep watch at night. Our eldest son will go today, and we'll take turns later. The eldest son will sleep in the car tomorrow." Old Man Ye said after taking a puff of his pipe.

"Grandpa, let's find some cloth strips to tie up your legs so they won't be sore tomorrow." Old man Ye paused as he was pounding his legs.

"Qingya, how much cloth will be wasted? Why are you just tying your legs?"

"Master, you see the monks in the temple all tie their legs when they go up and down the mountain. It must be effective."

Old Man Ye thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. But if there were more than a dozen people, a lot of cloth would be needed.

Li took over and said, "Well, who of you is willing to try it? If it works, tear off two old clothes and tie them up."

Ye Qing had already explained the matter of leg bandages, so he followed Zhou to sleep.

At night, Ye Qing heard a rustling sound in a daze, and thought someone was hungry and wanted to eat.

Ye Qing sat up suddenly. In order to save food, everyone was reluctant to eat during the day, so who would secretly get up to eat at night?

The Ye family is almost at the end of the team. Next to the Ye family are the Sun family and the Zhou family, and the food is gathered in the middle.

Ye Qing rubbed his eyes and looked over. It was the sneaky people during the day. "Someone is stealing food, catch them quickly." Ye Qing shouted.

The eldest uncle was the most alert. When he heard the noise, he climbed up with a knife in his hand and shouted, "Which bastard dares to steal grandpa's food?" Then he chased after the dark shadows.

At this time, the people around were also awakened, and they picked up their axes and chased after them. The guard team was just changing hands, so they let these people sneak in.

When we chased over to the mountain village, there were still a dozen people waiting outside to receive food.

The people in Kaoshan Village were even angrier. Food was so important now, it was the life of the whole family. This was only the first day, and if they backed down, it would be even harder to travel on the road in the future.

Ye Qing watched from afar, with several children in the family all under his watch, fearing that the group of people would fight and hurt the children.

There are many people in Kaoshan Village, and it's their first day out, so their strength is not comparable to those people. It was about to be over, and a person who had been lying on the ground without moving suddenly picked up a stone and was about to hit Boss Ye on the head.

Ye Qing watched from afar, his heart tightening, he grabbed the slingshot and shot out.

Just when the stone was a finger's distance away from the head, Ye Qing's stone hit the man's wrist, and the stone in his hand fell to the ground.

Boss Ye also reacted and knocked the man who suddenly attacked and injured people to the ground.

Ye Qing's hands were shaking a little bit, and Ye Lao Da would have been injured. The family lost a strong laborer, and with so many children, it was not certain that they could escape.

This group of people had been following for a whole day. Seeing the car full of stuff, they thought of trying their luck when it was late at night. They didn't expect there was a patrol team and were discovered by Ye Qing as soon as they came in.

The village head was also helped over by his youngest son. He was very angry when he saw the people lying on the ground wailing with their heads in their hands.

If this group of people succeed tonight, other people on the road will dare to take advantage of the situation. This time, we must show them some power, so that they can be scared of the monkeys and see that we are not easy to mess with.

The village head ordered that all these people's legs be broken and thrown away. Now is not the time to be merciful. If they want to survive, they have to be ruthless.

Ye Qing couldn't bear to look away, she had never seen such a bloody scene before, she knew that if she didn't do this, there would be endless troubles, there were many children and elderly people here, there couldn't be any risk.

The people who stole the food were still being interrogated, while Li had already prepared to take a nap with the children. The third brother did not dare to chase after them, but stayed here to guard the family. At this moment, everyone else was asleep, but Ye Lao San was still waiting for them to come back.

Ye Qing woke up before dawn. He took a nap yesterday afternoon and went to bed early at night, so he couldn't fall asleep now.

She didn't wake up the others, and went to the woods to relieve herself. The woods were only about ten meters away, so anyone could hear her if she shouted.

After Ye Qing finished his work in the woods, he no longer felt sleepy, so he walked outside, thinking of going to see how the group of people from last night were doing.

Before he had taken two steps, he was tripped by a vine and fell to the ground with a thud. Ye Qing touched his knee, which was hurt from the fall, and angrily went to dig out the vine and cook it when he got home.

Just as Ye Qing was digging the vines vigorously, he suddenly touched a few small golden beads.

Ye Qing didn't bother to dig the vines anymore. He looked around again, put them in his pocket, stood up and walked towards the Ye family.
