After the disaster victims collected the food, they kept their promise and did not invade again.

Set up a stove on the spot and start cooking.

Stayed there.

The county lieutenant heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, and agreed with them to send them back every three days.

This is already a very reasonable number, as the victims can only eat half full every day.

After the agreement was made, the county lieutenant instructed the soldiers who stayed behind to keep a close eye on it.

Then he took the others back to report.

Here, Xu Shuan and two other people were hiding in the bushes and witnessed the scene with their own eyes.

No one dared to breathe. After the county magistrate and his men left, they watched the disaster victims over there calm down and started cooking.

Xu Shuan was stunned and didn't know how to react.

Su Qiang carefully observed for a while and turned back to ask, "...Are they not going to move forward?"

Xu Shuan hesitated: "...Maybe!"

Su Qiang: "...Then do we still need to move to the mountains?"

Xu Shuan: ...

The two turned around and looked at the clan leader's grandson, "What should we do?"

Even the clan leader’s grandson doesn’t know!

But at this moment, both of them were staring at him intently, so he couldn't say that.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back first and ask Grandpa and the others."

Xu Shuan and Su Qiang looked at each other and finally nodded.

Several people bent over and retreated again. Xu Shuan walked to the end and looked back at the location of the victims.

"What's wrong?" Su Qiang in front turned around, "Why don't you leave?"

The clan leader's grandson followed Xu Shuan's gaze and looked in the direction of the disaster victims. He understood clearly, "Your family is in there, right?"

"How about you sneak over and take a look? We'll be waiting for you here."

Su Qiang also agreed, "Yes, it seems that the situation has stabilized. Nothing will happen for a while. You can go back and take a look."

Xu Shuan hesitated for a moment, and under the urging of Su Qiang and the clan leader's grandson, he said embarrassedly, "Then I'll go over and take a look. You wait for me."

He assured again: "I'll be quick!"

The clan leader's grandson smiled and said, "Go!"

Xu Shuan nodded, bent over and quietly walked around the victims.

Then, relying on his tattered clothes and dusty appearance, he easily blended in.

Then he looked at the dense crowd around him, not knowing where to start.

After thinking for a while, he slowly walked back.

Relying on his knowledge of the terrain, he walked to the path where he had escaped.

There are still disaster victims here, although not many.

But after thinking about it, I can understand it.

After all, there are tens of thousands of disaster victims, and although they are marching forward every day, the entire line is very long!

It would probably take quite a while for the last group of people to completely walk through a place.

What’s more, the victims have been eating while walking these days, and today they even rested for a whole day because of the negotiations?

Perhaps because of the news that there was food to eat, the victims' eyes lit up and they all stretched their necks to look towards the fireworks.

No one paid any attention to Xu Shuan who was moving around looking for someone.

Except for Old Man Xu's family.

When they saw Xu Shuan coming back, they looked around in shock, but found that no one was paying attention to this side.

Then he slowly moved to Xu Shuan's side.

When the two sides met, everyone expressed their excitement with their eyes, but no one dared to show it in action.

They deliberately formed a small circle, surrounded Xu Shuan inside, and then sat down on the spot like the other victims.

From time to time, he stretched his neck to look at the fireworks, but whispered behind his back, "What's going on? Did you find anyone?"

"Why are you back again? Where's Zhuzi?"

A series of questions come to mind.

Xu Shuan pretended to stare at the fireworks over there with longing, without turning his head, and whispered back, "I found the person, Zhuzi is over there."

"I have already told my uncle about the disaster victims. He took me to meet the Su clan leader and the elders, and told me that we would move to the mountains."

"But what's going on now?"

Old Man Xu sighed, his face strange and somewhat delighted, "The county magistrate sent people to persuade us to surrender, but the victims would not agree unless they saw the food."

Xu Shuan asked anxiously: "What about now?"

Old Man Xu: "The county magistrate sent food, and the victims agreed not to harass the villagers anymore."

Xu Shuan: "...That's good."

If the county magistrate had come a few days earlier, their house would not have been destroyed, and their family members would not have fallen into such a state.

Xu Shuan: "Now that the victims have been appeased, Grandpa, Dad, and Mom, can you come with me this time?"

Old Man Xu touched Xu Shuan's head and sighed, "Silly boy, where should our family go now?"

"Go to Uncle Grandpa's house!"

Father Xu glared at his naive son helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense! How much food does your uncle have at home? Is it enough for our whole family to eat?"

"We are doing well here, haven't you heard? From now on, the county magistrate will come to deliver a batch of food every three days."

"We can stay here and have a mouthful of porridge, which is enough."

Xu Shuan lowered his head and said unwillingly, "We still have money, we can give money to Uncle's family! It's too dangerous for you to stay here, I'm worried."

Old Man Xu patted his grandson's head gently and said unhappily, "You are a little brat. Haven't we eaten more salt than you have eaten rice? Just listen to us."

"Besides, the leader of the disaster victims is a good person. He still cares about the people and won't do anything to us!"

Xu Shuan: "...but"

Old Man Xu interrupted him: "Don't say but! Hurry back and spread the news. After what happened today, it's hard to say whether the people in Qianshan Village will go into the mountains or not!"

"You and Zhuzi are there, but be careful to follow your second cousin. He is a righteous and reliable person."

Xu Shuan nodded.

Old Man Xu gave a few more instructions, then stood up with his family and prepared to follow the same method to send Xu Shuan away.

Xu's father and mother stared blankly at Xu Shuan's figure running away, and couldn't help crying.

"After this separation, I don't know when we will meet again."

Xu Shuan ran towards where Su Qiang and the clan leader's grandson were without looking back, crying all the way.

When he was almost there, he stopped, carefully wiped his tears and nose with his sleeve, and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

Then he walked a short distance forward and came in front of Su Qiang and the clan leader's grandson.

Su Qiang is a hunter and has better hearing.

Even when Xu Shuan was still dozens of steps away, he tensed up and squatted down, on guard.

When the clan leader's grandson saw him like this, he immediately followed suit.

The two men buried their heads in the grass, looking in the direction of the sound without blinking.

Soon, Xu Shuan came into view.

The two of them relaxed instantly, and Su Qiang even more so, squatting directly over and asking, "Did you see anyone?"

Xu Shuan nodded.

The clan leader's grandson also tried to walk by squatting like Su Qiang, but he had never practiced it before and his lower body was unstable.

He staggered and fell backwards.

Fortunately, Su Qiang was quick enough to grab him, and then with more strength, he pulled him over.
