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

After dinner, Li Lanzhen and her friends had a careful discussion and decided to go and see how to build a bridge at Hukou, a mountain stream, the next day.

You shouldn't have to worry about wood, as there are plenty of trees in the mountains. You just need to use an axe to cut down the trees and transport them over. The key is that the ropes used to tie the trees must be strong.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, with voices shouting, "Li Lanzhen, get out here."

Li Lanzhen stood up and smiled, "What is coming will eventually come. Let's solve it all at once, shall we?"

She said to Han Mingjiang, Xuebao and several other young men, "Go out and make them line up. I will give them food. Those who don't line up can get out."

Li Lanzhen planned to give them some black wheat bran mixed with a small amount of black flour.

She was in a corner of the straw hut, where their family's belongings were piled up, including sacks, baskets, some farm tools, bedding and the like.

She went there and pretended to rummage around for a while, and finally pulled out a sack of wheat bran and half a sack of rye flour, then pretended to lift the cloth covering them.

Shouted, "Boss and your uncle, carry these out."

She placed the food at the door of the straw hut, then took out a large black clay bowl and prepared to give each family, no matter how many people there were, only one black clay bowl of food.

The villagers of Hanjia Village, who were standing outside cursing, happily lined up when they heard that Li Lanzhen was really going to distribute food to them.

When Han Yanyan saw that the food Li Lanzhen distributed to them was actually rye bran, she started to complain again in the crowd, "Sister-in-law Lanzhen is really something. I don't know why she hid the white rice and flour. Did she eat it secretly? She didn't even share some with us. We have elderly people and children in every household."

After hearing what she said, Li Sanya turned around, put her hands on her hips, pointed at her nose and cursed, "Shut up, you troublemaker, have you seen us eating white flour? We haven't seen a grain of white rice, nor a handful of white flour, we have always eaten rye and black flour paste. What are you talking about? You are stirring up shit everywhere."

Li Lanzhen glanced at Han Yanyan and called to Li Sanya to come back, "Sanyah, come back. There's no point in trying to reason with an unreasonable person. You're lowering your status. People like that are nothing."

When Han Yanyan heard Li Lanzhen scolding her, she gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and turned away.

At this time, some people were not happy about it and said that the distribution was unfair. If a family had only four people, they would only get one bowl, but if our family had more than ten people, we would also get one bowl.

Li Lanzhen said slowly, "If anyone feels it's unfair, just let it go. I'll give it to those in need. I didn't ask you to come. Besides, this is my food. I give it to you because I, Li Lanzhen, am kind and care about the whole village."

Those who were concerned lowered their heads and kept silent.

The villagers got the food and went back happily. Of course, there were a few people who cursed and went back home with the food in their eyes full of jealousy.

When Gu Yuli saw these people cursing and unhappy, she followed them and said, "I know where Li Lanzhen's family's food is stored?"

He looked at these people again and continued, "On this side near the flood, Li Lanzhen's family lives there. I saw a corner of the sack and some other things. They should be the good things given by Young Master Jin Fulai."

Those people looked at each other, shook their heads, and left without saying anything.

Gu Yuli looked at their departing backs and smiled. She was certain that they would go to Li Lanzhen's house to steal food tonight. She decided to go out at night as well and prepare a fire starter. When they stole the food, she would set fire to their shed. They didn't even let her family live in it. Humph, then no one should live there.

In the evening, the rain was a little lighter, but it was still drizzling.

The wild vegetables and leaves, and even the tender branches of the trees on the ridge where they lived, were picked by the people of Hanjia Village and taken home to eat.

Li Lanzhen felt sad watching the people of Hanjia Village living like this. She had to leave. Once people had no food, the evil side of human nature would show up. She didn't want to test human nature with the lives of her entire family.

Xue Nizi asked Li Lanzhen, "Mom, we don't have to do any heavy work, so we won't eat dinner. Every meal we save is a good one."

Li Lanzhen said, "No, we have to eat and eat enough, because we still have to do hard labor tomorrow."

Two big iron pots, each filled with porridge.

Of course, Zhang Deshui's family, Xue Laohu's family, and Han Shunde's family all added chopped dried vegetables into the pot.

Otherwise, they would feel embarrassed to continue eating Li Lanzhen's food. She is an orphan and a widow, and they are just begging for money.

In the middle of the night, the shed of Li Lan's family started to catch fire from where Li Lanzhen lived.

After Li Lanzhen discovered it, she turned over and sat up and shouted, "It's on fire!"

Her shout woke up everyone in the thatched huts. When they stood up, they found that half of the hut was on fire.

After Li Lanzhen got up, she quickly put everything that could be put into the space and shouted for everyone to get out quickly because thick smoke had begun to fill the straw hut.

She checked the straw hut where she used to store her grain and found a hole in it, with signs of something being dragged out.

Li Lanzhen didn't care. The food was not there anyway, and what was stolen were just some dried vegetables or farm tools.

However, we must find the person who set the fire and the person who took the things. Even if they are not valuable, they are mine and you have to steal them.

Although it was raining and the branches outside the hut were wet, the grass inside the hut was dry, so the fire started quickly.

After Li Lanzhen's straw hut caught fire, the straw huts of Goudan's family and the butcher Han Dazhong's family also caught fire. Later, more and more of the huts burned. Li Lanzhen saw that the fire was really burning the entire camp.

The families in the straw huts quickly packed up their things and came out. Han Mingjiang shouted to Xue Bao to quickly lead the mule and donkey out.

When they built the straw hut, they also built a simple shed for the animals to prevent them from getting wet and cold.

In less than half an hour, all the temporary sheds where the Hanjia Villagers lived were burned down.

People stood in the rain holding their belongings, and many women and children cried and shouted that the heavens were bullying the common people. There was nothing to eat or drink, and they had to suffer such things on the road to escape famine.

At this time, Han Yanyan jumped out again, "I think the fire started in Li Lanzhen's straw shed. They must have not put out the firewood when they were cooking yesterday, so the fire gradually started and burned down our straw shed. We should ask them to compensate us."

Those who didn't understand looked at Li Lanzhen.

Li Lanzhen laughed in her heart and said, "Your dog eyes saw that we set the fire ourselves. I thought it was you and your careless girl who set the fire."

She looked around and said, "Something is missing from our house. The thief and the arsonist must be the same person. Everything in my house is marked with colors. If you grab something from our house, your hands will turn purple. Stretch out your hands and let's see."

Li Lanzheng glanced at the crowd and found two men acting suspiciously with their hands clasped behind their backs and not moving forward. She had a rough idea in her mind. From the corner of her eye, she also saw Gu Yuli jumping up and down, jumping to this house, saying something, then jumping to that house. What was she saying?

Li Lanjuan shouted, "I'll say it again, tell me clearly now, why did you set fire to our house? Follow us on the road to escape the famine, otherwise I will never take you with me. You go your way, and I go mine.

Besides, when daybreak comes, we will build a bridge over the floodwaters, and then cross the floodwaters and head east. I absolutely cannot take you with me.”

After waiting for a while, the two men came out with something in their hands. They placed it in front of Lin Dan and said with their heads down, "We were bewitched and came to steal your food. It was Gu Yuli who told us that your food was stored there, including rice and flour. So, we thought about the old and young in your family and wanted to steal some to supplement their food."

The old men and women in the family were furious when they heard this. They grabbed them and beat them up. Then they turned around, lowered their heads, and said sorry to Li Lanzhen, asking her to forgive them.

Li Lanzhen ignored them, looked up at Gu Yuli, and shouted, "Gu Yuli, come here! Did you set the fire?"

Gu Yuli was caught off guard and was startled. She quickly shouted, "No, you are wrongly accusing someone, not me."

"Just stretch out your hand and let us take a look. If it's not purple, I'll let you go. If it is purple, I won't be polite."

When Gu Yuli heard this, she was so scared that she hid her hands behind her back and quickly went behind the village chief and his wife.

Everyone had guessed it because Gu Yuli's behavior was too obvious. At this time, the village chief blushed and stood up, "Yuli, how could you do this? We are all from the same village, why would you think of setting a fire? That would cost lives."

Gu Yuli was still making excuses, holding her head high and saying, "Who let them have white flour and white rice? They didn't share it with us, didn't let us eat it, and even hid it."

Little Han Yinan stood up and said angrily, "We have never eaten white flour, only black flour. Even black flour is not much now, and we mixed it with black bran yesterday and distributed it to all of you."

Li Lanzhen looked at Gu Yuli, "There are two options. First, slap yourself in the face and say you've made ten mistakes. The other option is to stop following me from now on."

Gu Yuli continued to stiffen his neck and said, "If I don't want to follow you, then I won't follow you. Do you think we won't flee from the famine? Who do you think you are? Right? Grandpa, my grandpa will take us away."

She turned to look at the village chief, but he lowered his head and said nothing.

Gu Yuli felt isolated and helpless at this time. She looked at everyone in confusion, but no one said a word and kept their heads down without looking at her.

Aunt Huaihua walked over and kicked her in the leg. With a thud, Gu Yuli fell to her knees in front of Li Lanzhen.

"Just say you're wrong."

Gu Yuli had no choice but to slap her mouth and say, "I was wrong."

She hit him ten times and scolded him ten times, and with every scolding, the hatred in her heart grew a little more.
