Transformed into an extremely evil grandmother and fled to escape famine with her children and grand

Li Lanzhen looked at the fire and cursed in her heart.

This is like setting fire to the mountain, which will really kill the people fleeing famine.

Old Mrs. Wu, her son, and her brother, along with more than twenty yamen runners, hurried to the woods outside the city gate where they had long observed the place, and were dumbfounded. Not only were the people from Hanjia Village missing, but even all the refugees from the area had left.

Old Mrs. Wu was so angry that she jumped up and down. The man in black, the secret agent of King Jin who followed them here, was also very angry. It was all because of this damn old woman that she messed up their plans. This time, Li Lanzhen was not caught, and they would not get any benefits when they returned to report.

He ignored the group of idiots and quickly followed the trail up the mountain.

Old Lady Wu's brothers also took the yamen runners up the mountain. They were familiar with the terrain here and were not a burden, so they climbed the mountain quickly. When they chased all the way to the valley, they looked for people from Hanjia Village in the crowd, but they didn't see any. However, the people who fled from famine ran all over the mountain when they saw the yamen runners.

The yamen runners lit torches and started chasing, but they were outnumbered and didn't catch many people. Later, Old Lady Wu thought of a way.

"Set fire to the mountain and get these bastards out."

So what happened happened that Li Lanzhen and the others saw while standing on the mountainside.

Xue Lao Hu looked at it and said worriedly, "This won't work. The wildfire burns very fast and will soon burn over here. We'd better hurry up the mountain. Quickly."

So what follows is the forced march mode.

Fortunately, the forests in the mountains are dry, so donkey carts, ox carts, and carts are still easy to use. Otherwise, the wheels would be more difficult to move if they were caught by weeds and shrubs.

Li Lanzhen pulled Han Yuemei up the mountain while paying attention to the mall to see if there were any electric batons or other hot weapons.

But she got nothing. She saw a lot of clubs and two-pronged iron forks. She thought this would work, but the merchant required her to exchange them for antiques such as calligraphy and paintings, thread-bound books, and ancient porcelain.

I don’t have any antiques. I’m penniless and have nothing.

Suddenly, she thought of the silk that Mrs. Zhou had given her, so she put in a piece of silk to try to exchange it. Unexpectedly, the silk was gone as soon as she put it in, and what followed was a pile of clubs and a dozen two-pronged iron forks.

Li Lanzhen immediately straightened her back, found Han Mingjiang and said to him, "Son, go find Han Deshun and your father-in-law to come here."

When they came over, they saw a pile of things under Li Lanzhen's feet. "Look at how these weapons should be distributed. Women should also have some."

Han Deshun looked at the unfamiliar "weapon" in surprise, but he immediately let it go and guessed that it was a gift from Young Master Zhou for her self-defense.

Xue Lao Hu looked at the pair of things, then at Li Lanzhen, and said nothing. "Give these weapons with iron tips to men, as they are strong. Give these big-headed wooden sticks to men who don't have iron-tipped weapons. The rest will be given to the boys. Do you think this distribution is okay?"

Everyone agreed and started to stop and distribute weapons. Xue Lao Hu studied how to use them and told the people in Hanjia Village. Every child over the age of 9 in the village had a big wooden stick, which they waved in their hands.

Li Lanzhen was not surprised to see that the children were able to swing the whips easily without any effort. Children in ancient times started doing farm work at a very young age. As the saying goes, children from poor families have to grow up early.

Han Deshun warned everyone, “The weapons in our hands were given by Master Zhou to Sister Lan Zhen for self-defense. Now, Sister Lan Zhen has given them to everyone to protect their wives and children.

If you encounter soldiers, you should beat them hard. Remember, either you beat them to death, or they beat you to death and take away your wife and children. So, you decide what to do. "

His words inspired people's courage to fight. All they wanted was to kill these corrupt officials and protect their homes, wives and children.

Xue Lao Hu also said to everyone, "Wait a moment, the men and boys holding big wooden sticks will go in front to lead the way, followed closely by women with smaller children, and the men holding iron spikes will follow behind with me."

After much deliberation, Li Lanzhen finally gave half a box of fireworks and five firecrackers to Xue Lao Hu.

"Dear relative Xue, look, these are the fireworks we set off when we encountered Ye Dayandia's soldiers trying to catch us in the mountains. You can decide how to use them." As he said that, he handed the half wooden box of fireworks to Xue Lao Hu.

Although no one else knew the power of fireworks, Xue Lao Hu knew it. He was happy and felt a little confident in defeating the officers and soldiers who were chasing him.

Since almost all the men went to fight with weapons, the carts in the house were pulled by women.

Han Mingjiang handed his family's cart to his wife Xue Nizi, and Han Yuemei helped push it.

Han Minghai's cart was given to Li Guangyang, and Tonghua pulled her own cart. Li Lanzhen wanted to persuade them to leave the carts here, but she knew that the villagers valued their carts very much. It can be said that a cart is a relatively valuable property of a family in the countryside.

So she didn't say anything and just helped Li Guangyang push the cart.

Goudan's cart was easier to move in the mountains because of its light weight, and it was easy for the two of them to carry it. Han Yinan helped his cousin Li Guangyang push his father's cart.

After arranging everything, the team began to climb up the mountain rapidly again.

About half an hour later, Xue Bao shouted from the front, "Dad, there are only bushes here, and the trees and grass are alive. It's hard to drive in the car."

In fact, the woman had already discovered it, and she would start plucking the green grass as she walked, regardless of whether it was wild grass or not, she would first plucking it and putting it in her own basket.

I haven't seen green trees and green grass for more than a year. Even the sleepy child wanted to jump down, walk on the green grass, grab a piece of grass and put it in his mouth to chew. If it was edible, he would swallow it into his stomach. If it was not delicious, he would spit it out.

The team couldn't light torches and had to rely on moonlight to move forward. Fortunately, the moon was high in the sky, as if it was specially created to provide them with light.

How nice it would be if there were no pursuers behind me. I could lie here and eat wild vegetables and then leave when I’ve had enough.

Perhaps it was the sight of the green trees and the green wild vegetables and weeds, and the smell of the fragrance of the weeds, that made both adults and children feel more energized and walk faster.

Li Lanzhen thought, since the trees here are all green and alive, your forest fire should not burn here.

This is indeed the case, but the wildfire did indeed reach the villagers of Hanjia Village faster than the soldiers.

"Fire! The fire is coming! Run!!"

I don't know who shouted, but the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

The shouting became louder and louder, with people calling out for their children, mothers, husbands and wives. Li Lanzhen immediately frowned when she saw this scene.

Officers and soldiers, if you look for the sound, they should catch up soon.

Suddenly, the village chief shouted, "Leave the car and heavy things behind, and escape for your life. Go up the mountain quickly, and don't be afraid if you get separated, wait for each other after you cross the mountain."

This loud shout stopped the chaotic crowd, and those who were quick immediately started running desperately up the mountain with their families.

Li Lanzhen also called on her family members to abandon the car and pull the big blue mule and black donkey up the mountain.

"Han Mingxiang, you lead the big blue mule and carry your uncle on it, and go first. Second brother, you lead the black donkey and carry your grandfather on it. First brother, you hold your wife, because she is pregnant and cannot ride a donkey."

Others carried their belongings in backpacks.

Li Lanzhen came to the carriage containing water tanks and buckets, and directly put them into the space. She also put the food and pots, pans, and utensils into the space.

No one noticed these things in the panic. She dawdled and, in the shadows, put her family's mule cart, donkey cart and two carts into the space.

She was a little surprised to see the village chief and Han Dazhong's family dismantling the cart and the man carrying the cart up the mountain.

In this way, the wildfire was chasing them from behind, and the officers and soldiers watched with glee from behind the wildfire. They carried their belongings and held the children who could not run away in their hands, and ran to the top of the mountain desperately.
