Sui He watched Uncle Youwang, whom he had just met, muttering to a group of people. The group of people kept looking at them. Several women who heard the news nearby also pointed at Sui He and the other two curiously. It was unknown what they were talking about.

After a while, they probably came to a conclusion after discussing it. Lin Youwang and an older man came towards them.

He is Lin Youxiang's father, Old Man Lin.

Father Lin looked at the three of Sui He and his grandson and asked, "I am the village chief of Linjia Village. I heard from Wang that we also know what happened on your way. It was quite dangerous. If you don't mind, come with us."

The second grandfather nodded quickly, "Thank you very much, brother. I will rely on you a lot on this journey."

Father Lin smiled and said, "We are all fleeing, so it is only natural for us to help each other. But let me be frank, the journey will definitely not be smooth. If you encounter any danger, we cannot guarantee your safety."

Father Lin patted Lin Youxiang on the back and said, "But you don't have to worry. There are many people in our village, and ordinary bandits don't dare to mess with us. As for these boys in my family, they are strong and have no special skills, but they can still scare people."

The second grandfather expressed his understanding, "We know this well, don't worry, brother."

Father Lin nodded and called to the others: "That's good, it's still early, everyone should eat something, and we should set off early. We don't know when we can reach Yingcheng."

After saying that, Father Lin did not stay any longer and turned around to arrange other things.

"Hey, Aunt Chen, I heard you met bandits yesterday?" Just as Sui He and his friends were about to eat something, they were surrounded by a group of women.

"That's right! It was so scary!" said the second grandmother with lingering fear.

"Are you all right? I see you're all fine," another woman asked anxiously.

"Fortunately, we met a group of soldiers passing by, otherwise, we really wouldn't know what to do!" Second Grandma sighed.

"Fortunately, no one is hurt, but the food was stolen, alas."

"That's just good luck. It's okay if we run out of food, as long as people are safe," everyone echoed.

"But you have no food left, how are you going to survive in the future?"

"We still have some savings and have bought some food, but we didn't buy much and we don't know how long it will last." The second grandmother looked worried. It is the wisest choice not to show off your wealth.

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries and learning about the simple situation of Suihe's family, the women dispersed and went about their own business. They did not come close to Suihe and his family again, fearing that Suihe and his family would ask them for help after their food ran out. In this world, it was already difficult to feed oneself, so how could there be any surplus food to lend to others?

Of course, Second Grandma knew what they were thinking, but she ignored them and just smiled and walked towards Second Grandpa, who was counting his things.

The money given by Sui He was not used, and he bought another small clay pot. The one he brought before was broken. It was impossible to eat only dry food during the journey. With these utensils, the increase in price was not large, so he bought a new one.

At this time, the pottery pot was placed on the firewood to boil water. Seeing Sui He and the others coming, he took out two small cakes, broke them into pieces and threw them into the pot, making a pot of steamed bun porridge.

After a simple breakfast, the team began to pack up and prepare to set off.

"Second Grandpa, leave these things here with me, I can carry them." After saying that, Sui He began to put the heavy things in the two old men's backpacks into his own backpack. Second Grandpa and the others couldn't stop him. He used the cloth covering the backpacks to put them into the space in the blink of an eye.

After leaving some light things for the two old people, he put on his backpack, shrugged his shoulders, and followed the people from Linjia Village.

"Sui Sui, you can't carry such a heavy load by yourself!" Second Grandma rushed forward and tried to grab the things from Sui He's backpack.

"It's okay, Second Grandma, I can do it"

"The child is grown up, just let her do whatever she wants." The second grandfather stopped his wife. After spending the past few days together, he knew Sui He's temper. She would do things that you don't allow her to do, and she would do them secretly even if you don't agree with her. Instead of letting her do things secretly, it would be better to let her do what she likes.

"Sui Sui is a man of measure, so just relax."

There are 20 to 30 people in Linjia Village. They have two carts, which are usually pulled by the young and strong people in the village in turns. Most of the luggage in the village is placed on the carts, and each person carries a small amount of luggage.

Several children walked around the cart, several women pushed the cart, and the young men in the village were guarding the outside.

Sui He and his two companions followed behind. Because there were so many people and they had to travel during the day, they would rest in a ruined temple at night if there was one, or in the wild if there was none.

The journey was peaceful, but the closer we got to Yingcheng, the more refugees we met. They were thin, with chapped lips and numb eyes.

Their team had a lot of food, and every time they ate, they attracted a group of eager eyes, but because they were so many, no one dared to approach them.

At night, Sui He slept on Second Grandma's shoulder, observing the space with his consciousness. After these few days of labor, the space has changed a lot.

The tomatoes have begun to change color and turn red. They should be ready to eat in a while. She has also planted a large patch of sweet potato vines, which are now growing well with lush green leaves. The fruit trees next to them have grown taller than her and have blossomed with small flowers.

She built a vacant lot behind the house, where she raised chickens she bought in the county town. As soon as she got the money, she went to the market. When she first bought these chickens, they were so skinny that there was not even a pound of meat on them.

After a few days of feeding, it has grown a little bit and is in much better spirits. It is now clucking in the open space.

Sui He was thinking hard about how to get these items out of here safely when she suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from the camp. She immediately stopped what she was doing and held her breath.

Sui He was puzzled and thought that someone was in a hurry to pee in the middle of the night and wanted to go to the bathroom. When he regained consciousness, he squinted his eyes and looked in that direction. He saw a thin man walking towards the woods with something in his hand.

What is that? Sui He suddenly opened her eyes. She had never seen this person before. He was not from Linjia Village. So why was he here? What was in his arms?

Sui He thought for a moment, then stood up carefully and followed him quietly. The man seemed very flustered, and he only focused on rushing forward, without any intention of looking back. This made it very easy for Sui He to follow him.

The man turned left and right all the way, and soon he was getting farther and farther away from the camp. After Sui He noticed this, she originally did not intend to continue following him, after all, she did not know whether there was any potential danger ahead.

Just when she was about to give up, a feeling of panic suddenly arose in her heart, so she gritted her teeth, secretly told herself to stay alert, and continued to stare at the figure in front of her that was getting farther and farther away.
