So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day
Chapter 9 Food was stolen
"What on earth are you going to do?" The second grandfather glared at her and held the second grandmother tightly with his hands.
"Boss, this family has plenty of food." The subordinate came up to the leading man with two backpacks. The backpacks had been turned upside down, and pots and pans were thrown all over the floor.
The leader took the bag of grain, shook it with his hand, estimated its weight, and handed it to his subordinate.
The subordinate beside him happily took the grain bag. He didn't expect that the grandfather and grandson had so much food. The cake was so delicious.
"I can give you everything, please let us go." The second grandfather saw that they took the food and didn't want to get entangled with them. He just wanted to get away as soon as possible and take his family away.
When the second grandmother heard what the second grandfather said, she shook her body a few times. She looked at the second grandfather with reluctance in her eyes, looked at the food in the man's hand, and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.
"Second Grandma, the most urgent thing now is our safety. We can think of a way after the things are gone." Sui He whispered in her ear, in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
The second grandfather knew what his wife was worried about and patted her hand soothingly.
"My daughter's life can be bought with just this little thing? What valuables do you have on you? Hand them over, and our account will be written off."
"We are all farmers. The only valuable things we have are these grains. We don't have anything else."
"Tsk, if you don't want to hand it over, don't blame us for being rude."
The man sneered twice. The men who surrounded them slowly approached them, shaking the stick in his hand, looking threatening.
"We only have this little property, and you've already taken it all. What else do you want to do?" The second grandfather scolded anxiously, still standing in front of him, pacing anxiously on the spot
Sui He was also preparing on the side. If she encountered danger, she would not care so much. At most, she would expose the space, but she also had to ensure the safety of Second Grandpa and the others.
“Da…da…da…”
At this critical moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the road nearby.
When they heard the sound, they looked in the direction where they came from. They could vaguely see a dozen horses galloping towards them.
Sui He looked over and saw a man in silver armor riding a horse and galloping towards them against the light. He looked straight ahead with a cold gaze, as if he didn't care about anything around him.
Following closely behind him was a neatly lined team. The two people behind the man each held a flag with a big "Cui" character written on it.
"It's Cui's army, why are they here? Hurry, run!" Just as Sui He was wondering who the people were, he heard a cry of surprise from the few people who had just surrounded them. They were no longer as arrogant as before, but looked terrified. They didn't care about Sui He and the others, and ran into the woods.
It was so fast that it disappeared from Suihe and the others' sight in the blink of an eye.
"Cui's army?" Sui He underestimated. The sound of horse hooves was right in front of him. Sui He, who was firmly protected by the Second Mistress, looked up and saw the leader riding a horse past them. The silver armor was shining brightly in the sun.
Before she could take a closer look, the dust kicked up by the horse's hooves hit her face. Sui He subconsciously tilted her head and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, there were only three of them on the road.
"Hurry, pack up, let's leave quickly." Seeing that the danger was over, the second grandfather was afraid that the bandits would come back, so he quickly told Sui He and others to pack up.
"Don't take the broken ones, let's get out of here quickly"
Forgetting the scene in her mind, Sui He quickly packed up her small backpack. The food had been stolen by the bandits, and some bowls and chopsticks were scattered all over the place, and some were thrown on the ground and broken.
A few people picked up some useful things and ran forward quickly. They ran a long way in one breath until the gate of the county town appeared not far away. They stopped panting and gasped.
"Damn bandits, they took away all our food. How can we survive?" The second grandmother stopped and hurriedly counted her belongings. After looking around, she sat down on the ground and burst into tears. "It's all gone. What should I do next?"
"Second Grandma, don't cry, there will be a way." Sui He sat next to Second Grandma and wiped her tears gently with his sleeve. "I still have food in my backpack. I hid it well. They didn't take it away. We still have food."
Sui He stood up and took out a small cloth bag from his backpack. This was the bag that Second Grandma had put in her backpack when she set out. She had put it into her space when she set out.
Second grandmother took the bag, opened it, and found seven or eight small cakes inside. "This is not enough," she said, tears streaming down her face again.
"Okay, old lady, don't worry, we are in the county town, we will go into the city and think of a solution later." The second grandfather also sat next to the second grandmother and took a break. After all, he was old and had been running all the way, and his body could hardly hold on.
"Is there any way?"
"Yes, Second Madam, I still have some money, we will go to the city to buy food later." Sui He took out a few coins from his pocket and put them in Second Madam's hand.
"Sui Sui, where did you get the copper coins?"
The second grandmother looked at her husband who was concerned, then looked at the copper coins in her hand, and then she smiled.
"I hid it, they didn't find it, we can go into the city to buy food."
"Well, Sui Sui is really smart. He even knew to hide the copper coins." Second Grandma touched Sui He's head and said kindly.
"Let's go, let's go to the city and try our luck." After a short rest, the second grandfather stood up and nodded to them.
Hearing what Second Grandfather said, Sui He immediately stood up, put on his small backpack, and followed them towards the city gate.
The closer they got to the city gate, the more people there were on the road. When they got closer, they found that the city gate was closed and several soldiers were guarding the gate.
In the open space in front of the city gate, many people wearing patched clothes gathered and sat in groups. From their attire, it can be seen that these people have fled from other places.
Some people closed their eyes to rest, while others set up pots to cook something, with hot steam coming out of them. Food was hard to come by these days, and many people swallowed their saliva while watching the teams cooking.
Although they were greedy, no one dared to step forward, because these teams basically came from the same village, and there were many young and strong men guarding nearby, and they looked like they were not easy to mess with.
Sui He carefully avoided them and followed his second grandfather to the city gate.
"What are you doing?" Seeing my second grandfather approaching the city gate, an officer immediately shouted
"Sir, we want to go into the city and take a look." The second grandfather stepped forward and nodded to the soldier with a smile. The country folk were still a little afraid of the soldiers. Even if he was just a gatekeeper, it was very powerful to them.
"Go, go, don't stay here. The city gate is closed. If you want to go in, go early tomorrow." The official looked up and down at the old man in front of him. His clothes were messy, his face and hands were covered with dust from the journey, and he was dirty all over. He must be a refugee family. He said nothing more and waved his hand to drive them away.
