At that time, she thought... her aunt was doing too much trouble. She had an inexhaustible water dispenser in her own space, so why bother spending money and effort?

But then I thought, I have unlimited water dispenser and my aunt doesn't know about it, so it's normal for her to feel insecure.

It's just buying some water bags. If this makes her feel at ease, then let her do it. Now, it is indeed not very convenient for her to take things out, after all, her younger sister doesn't know yet.

Decide to walk a distance along the way you came to search, but don't waste time, just set off immediately.

Outside Yuzhou City, heading towards Xiangling County, there are plains within ten miles. Although the grass is not very good, at least you can see a hint of green.

Ten miles away, there is an endless forest with lush trees on both sides of the road. It is a pleasant experience to walk on the tree-shaded path.

However, they didn't know how big the forest was, so they didn't dare to go in. It was not until they walked out of the forest that the road became difficult to walk on.

They kept on traveling until noon when they finally arrived at the forest where they had stayed the night.

Yuzhou City is famous for its lush trees, so there are many forests and mountains around it. Although they are not the kind of mountains that tower into the clouds, they are also continuous mountain ranges with lush trees.

If they go any further they will have to enter a mountainous forest area. If they continue to hurry, they will only be able to rest in the mountains at night, so they decide to stay here for one night.

Fortunately, they had been here before, so they felt relatively safe.

I found the same place where I had lived a few days ago, unloaded the carriage, and just as I took a breath, I heard screaming and crying.

"What's going on?" Su Laosan clenched the crutch in his hand, prepared for defense, and was about to jump up the next moment.

Although nothing serious happened along the way, we saw some refugees who were injured, some were lame, some were covered in blood, and some even had horrifying wounds on their faces and were disfigured.

When seeing their carriage, some people would be afraid and hide away, while others would come forward to beg them.

They would even kneel in front of the carriage just to beg for a bite of food or a sip of water.

Fortunately, their horses were steady, otherwise, they would have been frightened countless times along the way.

"Don't make a sound!" Su Qiuyi quickly held down her father's hand holding the cane. "We can't control what's going on. Just take care of yourself!"

She didn't have to worry too much along the way because her family was all nice and there wasn't anybody in the family who was too worried.

She told them to leave it alone, and they just pretended they didn't see anything and closed their eyes without interfering.

Su Qiuyi knew that it was easy to be soft-hearted for a moment, but difficult to be soft-hearted all the time. With so many refugees, once they opened the door, there would be no end to it.

Maybe a disaster will happen in the end.

So instead of making yourself suffer, it’s better to watch others suffer.

Although people should have a compassionate heart, they must also act within their means, otherwise they would be overestimating their own capabilities.

After hearing what his daughter said, Su Laosan put down his crutches and listened attentively to the movements on the official road not far away.

The others even held their breath, fearing that any heavy breathing would bring about fatal disaster. They were extremely frightened.

The family spread out their blankets and sat around the carriage. At this moment, Su Mingyue hugged her younger sister tightly, with one hand still holding her eldest sister's sleeve, her eyes filled with fear.

At this time, Su Wenxing seemed much calmer. She said softly, "It's okay. They should just be robbing some refugees of food. If it were bandits, there would be the sound of horse hooves! Bandits ride horses..."

The little girl followed the Li family along the way and encountered bandits twice. Each time, a group of bandits came on horseback to rob people, so she knew a lot.

Su Qiuyi walked over the second sister, gently touched the youngest sister's head, and then asked the second sister to help the youngest sister get on the carriage.

Just in case, if the group of refugees passing by really want to attack them, the younger sisters who are actually injured have to prepare in advance.

Seeing her like this, Su Xiaofang became even more worried, so she simply gathered up the quilts that were spread on the ground, and moved everyone's water bags to the car and hid them in the cabinet.

After letting the two sisters get in the car, Su Qiuyi and the other two watched vigilantly through the thick woods to see what was happening outside.

The screaming, fleeing and crying continued, but they were blurry and indistinct from the woods.

Su Xiaofang suddenly froze, pointed outside and stammered, "Old... Third brother, listen, is that Daliang's voice?"

Su Laosan was also cheered up and listened carefully. The voice that was shouting that he wanted to fight to the death did sound like that of his sister's second uncle Yang Daliang.

"It seems... it really is..."

As soon as Su Laosan finished speaking, Su Xiaofang rushed out, shouting, "I'll go check it out. The Yang family should be in front!"

Su Qiuyi didn't react. They just came out to look for someone, and they found him so easily? God looked up to them this time.

"Dad, get in the car, let's drive over there!" Su Qiuyi hurriedly asked her father to get in the car, and then she sat on the shaft of the car. She caught up with her aunt in just a few steps. The aunt and niece drove the car and rode towards the direction of the road.

They knew from the noise they heard just now that the situation would not get much better. Those who were stealing things might have reached the end of their rope, and the children would steal even if they had no food.

But when we got there, we found that there were only about ten people here. The ones who were robbing were three big men, and the ones who were robbed... were indeed members of the Yang family.

Each of them looked pale and thin, with scars all over their bodies. Su Xiaofang took a quick glance and saw that her man and child were not there at all.

The group of people stopped what they were doing when the carriage arrived, and the three big men did not forget to hold the two younger sisters of the Yang family and the wife of Yang Laoer tightly.

"Why don't you stop?" Su Xiaofang raised the horsewhip, and with a clang, she swung the whip over and hit the big man who was holding Yang Lijuan, the youngest daughter of the Yang family.

The big man let go in pain, cursing non-stop.

Su Qiuyi picked up his kitchen knife from the carriage and rushed over to join the battle.

How could my aunt possibly beat three big men all by herself? Even though these three were extremely skinny and looked like they hadn't eaten for several days, they were still men after all.

The momentum of the aunt and niece frightened the three big men so much that they let go of the women they had captured. They wanted to fight with them, but they were frightened by Su Qiuyi's chopping with a kitchen knife and fled away.

However, Yang Daliang, a middle-aged man, was so frightened that he just watched the women fighting and forgot to step forward to help.

It was not until Yang Lijuan came forward and hugged Su Xiaofang's trouser legs and cried that the whole family came to their senses.

The two elders of the Yang family helped each other to stand up, and Yang Daliang's wife, Yang Kang, crawled towards Su Xiaofang on her knees.

"Sister-in-law... wuwuwu, if you hadn't shown up, we would all be finished..."

Only then did the two elders of the Yang family truly recognize that the woman holding the horsewhip in front of them was indeed their eldest daughter-in-law.

The two looked a little flustered. Old Madam Yang stepped forward tremblingly, "Su, you vicious woman... You actually abandoned your husband and children for your brother from your mother's family. Do you still have a heart?"

After Su Xiaofang chased away the three big men, she was eager to ask about the situation of her child and her husband. She was anxious because she didn't see anyone here. But before she could cry hard, she was questioned by her mother-in-law first. She felt a little guilty and couldn't refute.
