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

Ye Qing returned to his residence and carefully nudged Zhou. He secretly put the beads into Zhou's hand. Zhou, who was half asleep, took it and looked at it closely, and suddenly became alert.

"Qingya, where did these come from? There are about a dozen small golden beans here, enough to buy several acres of good land." Zhou whispered in Ye Qing's ear.

"Mom picked them up over there. I saw these few. They might have been lost by the group of people who came at night."

Zhou looked around, quickly stuffed it into her arms, and carefully put it away. She then instructed Ye Qing, "This matter is difficult to explain, don't tell anyone else for now, I'll keep it for you as a dowry in the future."

Although the Ye family is harmonious, each branch still has its own little thoughts. It is common for them to save some pocket money to buy some candies for the children.

Every time Ye Lao Er made a cabinet, he would secretly leave a few copper coins for Shen.

Zhou kissed her daughter again and said with a smile, "Qingya is really a lucky little girl. Mother will go make you something to eat.

The sky began to turn pale. Zhou was a little excited and couldn't sleep, so she got up, made a fire and started to cook porridge.

The morning meal is better, the lunch is too hot, so just eat a pancake to fill your stomach. Take a longer rest at noon and walk a few more miles in the afternoon.

When Zhou finished cooking the wild vegetable porridge, the surroundings started to get lively. At this time, Li also got up, "Old man, why don't you get some more sleep? You must be very tired after walking all day."

"Mom, I haven't been up for long. I'll make some porridge first, so you can sleep a little longer."

After the whole family finished eating and cleaned up, Zhou took her eldest son to the place where Ye Qing found the golden beans under the pretext of looking for wild vegetables, but in the end they didn't find anything.

The people of Kaoshan Village once again set out on an unknown road. Although the carts pulled by livestock were few, each family pushed a few carts, so the journey was much faster.

They gradually caught up with the people who had left in front of them, and met more and more people. They all had their families with them, and their faces were covered in dirt, so it was impossible to see their faces clearly.

The road became more and more desolate, and occasionally we came across a few wells with water, where we could replenish some water.

Ye Qing was becoming more and more anxious, not knowing what was ahead.

I could only take my brothers and sisters to dig wild vegetables. Now I am not picky about the taste, I just dig whatever is edible and take it with me.

But there were too many people digging, and sometimes you couldn’t dig up a full basket in an hour.

Ye Qing was a little better, as he had a better understanding of the habits of plants and could always dig up some that others could not find. He did not dislike some of the plants that were too old, and took them home to cook and eat.

After walking for a few more days, we finally saw Yang'an City from afar. Yang'an City is the largest city nearby. Once we get to the city, we can drink as much water as we want.

The crowd quickened their pace in excitement. As they got closer, more and more people gathered at the city gate. A group of people from Kaoshan Village also stopped outside the city gate, and the village head was talking to an old man.

"Big Brother, what's going on? When can we go in?"

"Alas, Yang Ancheng won't let you in. You came late today. There will be a porridge meal at noon, so you can eat half full." The old man said with a bit of regret.

The head of the village hurriedly asked, "What should we do? One meal of porridge a day is not enough. If we are not allowed to go in, where can we go? How can we live like this?"

"These people have only arrived in the past two days. After resting here for two days, they will prepare to head south. There is almost no food left in Yang'an City." The old man became uncomfortable as he spoke.

When the village head came back and told the villagers about this situation, they found it hard to accept it for a while, and the sound of sobbing soon spread from the team. The villagers had only been to the county before, and had never walked such a long distance.

There was nothing we could do but find a place to stop and rest, and then see what the situation would be.

After walking for half a month, both adults and children became pale and thin, and they wished they could lie down and sleep for three days and three nights.

It is still daylight now, and the villagers dare not bring food to eat. They can only wait until dark and eat the cakes hidden in their sleeves.

The children and young people should sleep for a while. It will be safe when the sun comes out. Old Ye and his grandchildren are watching over the things at home.

It will be dangerous when it gets late at night. There are many hungry people here, and we have to carry so many things. After midnight, the young and strong people will have to get up and guard the place.

As the night deepened, only a faint light flickered on the distant city wall.

The three brothers of the Ye family sat beside the car and closed their eyes to rest. The other men in the village who were responsible for the safety of the night did not sleep either, but just sat together in groups of three or four to save energy.

It was extremely quiet, with only the summer breeze making one sleepy.

sand~ sand~ sand~

There were faint sounds of footsteps in the air, and if you didn't listen carefully you would think it was the sound of the wind.

Ye Lao Er seemed to have discovered something. He stood up and looked around, then pushed Ye Lao Da again: "Brother, did you hear any sound? I think I heard footsteps."

Boss Ye turned his head and listened carefully. "Nothing. It might be the sound of someone turning over in their sleep. Sit down and rest for a while."

Ye Laoer also thought that he might have heard it wrong, so he sat down again and listened for a while more worriedly. When he didn't find anything, he leaned back against the car and took a nap.

A group of people in the woods were lying on the ground, not daring to make any noise, for fear of being discovered in advance. "Li Zi, what time is it? Is the big brother here? There are so many women and children here. If you just rob a few, you can get a lot of money." A small minion asked in a low voice.

"Brother, it's still a quarter of an hour before midnight. Big brother agreed to meet at midnight, so let's wait a little longer." Li Zi also replied carefully.

A quarter of an hour passed in a flash, and the big brother that Li Zi mentioned also came over, "Everyone, keep quiet for a while. If anything happens, the master will not forgive you. If you succeed, you will be rewarded. Let's go."

"Who's over there?" Ye Laoshi, who was on night watch, shouted. The three brothers of the Ye family picked up their sticks and walked over there. The people living nearby were also awakened and stared at that place with a vigilant look on their faces.

I saw a scarred man with a few people walking towards this side, with a fierce look on his face, looking like he was looking for trouble. The moment the people here noticed them, they drew their machetes and rushed over.

The people of Kaoshan Village also rushed forward with sticks in their hands. Although the villagers were not well-armed, they had a large number of people.

Three people against one person, and with their family members behind them, it is even more impossible for them to give in.

The fight was going on very lively here, and Ye Qing also stretched his neck to watch from the other side.

"Ah, help..."

Zhou turned around to look for her daughter and saw Ye Qing being held under the armpit by a man and running away.

Zhou was so frightened that she fell to the ground, crying and shouting for help. Ye Chenchuan and several uncles chased after her.

Ye Qing was a little confused and hadn't figured out the situation yet.

The child thief was very familiar with the terrain and gradually left Ye Dalang and his group behind. Ye Qing knew that once he got too far away, it would be difficult to come back.
