I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.

Helplessly, Shen Ying shushed Qi Yanchuan who was nearby. "Come."

Qi Yanchuan looked at Shen Ying's expression, which showed that she was afraid of waking up the child, but also wanted someone to take the child away quickly, and smiled.

Are you making fun of me? Come here! Shen Ying's eyes were sharp.

Qi Yanchuan stopped smiling and came over to pick up his nephew.

Qi Wang opened his eyes hazily and subconsciously pushed Qi Yanchuan, wanting to continue leaning against Shen Ying.

Now it was Shen Ying's turn to cover her mouth, and her performance was particularly annoying.

Qi Yanchuan used a little force to pull his nephew up from the ground and took him away.

The next day we walked on a gentle slope. The road was very smooth and we didn't meet any strange people. But when we were going downhill, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

Because the view was clear and there was no one leading the way, everyone saw the scene clearly.

A river that was almost dry with dozens of corpses lying on it.

Fortunately, the children were held in their arms. The men in the car who saw this scene directly covered the eyes of the children and the woman.

Shen Ying was driving alone and retched twice out of nausea.

These corpses were not fresh, and the extremely hot weather also attracted mosquitoes. The stench had already clearly spread to the surroundings. It was because they had been dead for some time that no sounds of fighting were heard before.

Shen Ying put on a mask and covered her face with a piece of cloth, then jumped out of the car and walked towards that direction with a picked-up wooden stick in her hand.

Shen Youtian chased for two steps and was led by his daughter: "Maybe we will see this kind of thing again in the future, Dad, let's go and see." Qi Yanchuan also covered himself with cloth and walked forward. After the three of them, Shen Youdi and Shen Duocai fell, which meant that the family had one man.

The bodies were all dressed very simply. They had been killed by weapons such as knives and guns. What was strange was: "Why were they all stabbed in the back and sides? It was as if..."

Qi Yanchuan continued: "He was killed instantly without any warning."

Among the few bodies with more knife wounds, most of them were frontal wounds.

Several people who were not wearing masks vomited directly. The vomiting triggered negative effects, and there were also sounds of dry heaving in the team behind them.

"These people don't look like they belong to the government. They are not soldiers from the city, nor are they from the military camp. So they must be from a gang. There are no signs of wheels around them, and they don't look like a caravan."

Qi Yanchuan nodded, used a stick to pry open a person's hand, and found thick yellow calluses on it, and the exposed skin had some shallow wounds.

A guess came to mind: "Green forest bandits?"

"Forget it, let's not dwell on it. We just need to be more careful on the road ahead. We have already avoided crowded places here. The body has been there for several days, and the water source has been polluted but no one has dealt with it. That also proves that there is no one around. Let's leave this troubled place quickly."

I can't stand the smell.

The convoy was able to continue on its journey. After seeing so many corpses with her own eyes, all of whom were killed, Shen Ying felt a little heavy-hearted. On the way, she kept thinking about how to protect herself more comprehensively and improve everyone's protective capabilities.

Qi Yanchuan was thinking about the Gu family army.

He thought that it might be the Gu family army that came to kill the bandits, but if there were only a few of them, it would be more likely that they were out for reconnaissance.

Moreover, the body in the river had been missing for several days, but the time of injury of the man who fainted among Gu Shuangdao's group did not match.

That was a fresh wound.

The depressing atmosphere followed us all the way until we left the river and looked back to see the bend in the river. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"What a pity, we could still find some water in that shallow pit." It was then contaminated by the corpses.

Today, water consumption has once again become a recycling problem.

Not much anymore.

I don’t know how long the road ahead will take.

During the lunch break, Qi Yanchuan and Shen Ying gathered together to look at the map. In the distance, the Shen family and the Qi family were basically watching this scene with a smile on their faces.

I feel like with them around, the difficulties on the road will be a little less.

"If it really works, should she come over, or should we, Xiaochuan, go over?"

"Who knows? As long as they are happy."

The two people being discussed found a path with relatively flat terrain. "Let's take this one. I don't sense any water vapor, which means it's unlikely to be inhabited. This time, I'll depend on you for the water."

They have cars and supplies, but they still try to avoid the crowd in such a cowardly way. Really, they are not capable of fighting.

The number of people seems large, if we deduct the children, the women who can still throw tantrums at home, and the literary version of the best actor and actress whose fighting ability is not much stronger.

If you want to defeat the fierce refugees, forget it.

So they fled on the road as stealthily as thieves, but fortunately, they had been out for so long that no one was hurt.

No one was left behind.

Shen Ying remembered that when she first set out, she had really been thinking about the possibility of being a lone wolf. As the time spent together increased and she got to know everyone better, this idea gradually weakened.

“It would be great if we could all make it to the end.” Since there are strangers everywhere, it’s better to travel with people who understand each other.

"Yes, by the way, can you give me some masks, Ms. Shen?"

"Okay, I'll find a pack for you later." There are tens of thousands of masks in the mall's pharmacy.

With Qi Yanchuan as the weather forecaster, a geographical detector, and Shen Ying's occasional creation of "new water sources", seven days later, the group finally walked out of the mountains and forests and stepped onto flat ground.

The spacious official road was not empty, and people could be seen in front and behind.

It was much easier to walk on flat ground. We no longer had to worry about getting our ankles cut by weeds after taking a few steps. We loosened our leggings and started chatting leisurely.

Everyone's water bag was full, and the two water buckets at home were half full, enough for them to walk for three days.

Moreover, according to the map, after walking for another three days, we will reach an area called Wuyi, where there are beautiful mountains and clear water and abundant water resources. After replenishing water, we can reach the port in a few more days.

When the time comes, we will sail south with the ship, and our feet will no longer have to work so hard.

The official road leads directly to Jianzhou, but it passes through Wuyi, but it greatly facilitates the people traveling between the two places.

The team that came out of the forest also attracted the attention of the merchants on the road behind, but when they saw that they were dressed like ordinary people, their high vigilance dropped a little.

A man riding a donkey came over quickly to sell water bags. The bag with water was sold for three coins of silver, and the bag without water was sold for two coins of silver.

No one in the Shen family wanted it, but Shen Ying thought about it, waved her hand and asked loudly, "It costs one penny just to buy water. Isn't it too expensive? Can it be cheaper?"

"I'll go ask our boss." The little donkey went back and told the leader that they were just ordinary people and they were also short of water.

As for the topic of selling water, it was simply cut off, as they were not really trying to sell the product in the first place.

During the lunch break, the Shen family did not loosen the carriages on the animals. After all, they were on the road, and there were people everywhere, so they had to be prepared to leave at any time.

The teams in front and behind also kept a certain distance and looked for shaded places to rest.

Shen Ying had figured out a way to make a mixture of vinegar, pickled bamboo shoot juice, a little coriander and some water over the past few days. It was like a strong combination of sweat and body odor. If you spray it at arm's length, and then walk past, the clothes will be smelling strong for hours unless you wash them.

Later, she couldn't stand it anymore and decided to spray it on a certain position on the frame so that she wouldn't damage her clothes and herself. It would be fine if there was just a little stink around her.

So these two days, Qi Yanchuan wore a mask when communicating with her.

Shen Ying herself, too.
