Li Lanzhen didn't need to look back to know that it was Han Yanyan who was causing trouble.

Han Yanyan's shout immediately attracted a large number of people fleeing from the surrounding area.

The starving child did not get to eat the bread in her hand. Instead, she was trampled under the people fleeing famine who swarmed in from behind. Han Yanyan was also trampled under the crowd who rushed in.

Xue Bao and his fellow order maintainers were more vigilant and gathered the people from Hanjia Village together, with the elderly, children and women in the middle. Xue Lao Hu also stopped moving forward, stopped the car and became alert.

The old village chief and Aunt Huaihua were also pushed to the ground in order to protect their daughters.

Li Lanzhen did not move. She just took care of her children at home. At this time, she carried her little daughter Han Yumei into the big blue mule cart, lowered the curtain, and told them not to make any noise and stay inside obediently.

The children were also frightened by the sudden noise outside and became silent. They huddled together, huddled together.

Han Shunde and his son Han Zhaoxiong rushed up waving machetes and wooden sticks and started beating these people one by one.

The refugees wanted to rush to other households in Hanjia Village, especially aiming at mule carts and donkey carts, but Xue Bao and a dozen young men pointed their swords at them and said, "Don't come closer! If you come closer, I'll smash your heads!"

The refugees were intimidated by their momentum and dared not rush forward.

By the time Han Shunde and Han Zhaoxiong fought off the refugees and pulled Han Yanyan out from under their feet, all her clothes had been stripped off and she was covered in wounds.

Aunt Huaihua quickly tore off a piece of cloth from the car and wrapped herself tightly.

Li Lanzhen glanced at him from a distance without any emotion in her heart.

Don't be sad or happy, everything is your own fault.

Before leaving, they were repeatedly told not to be kind to the refugees. Fortunately, Han Yanyan did not say anything else. If she told the refugees that there was food in Hanjia Village, or told someone else that there was food, it would cause even greater trouble.

Han Yanyan's face was swollen and one of her eyes was black.

At this time, Gu Yushi also rushed over, shaking her body and shouting, "My God, wake up!"

Han Shunde was extremely angry. Without even looking at them, he stood up and said loudly to the people of Hanjia Village, "You all saw it, right? We have told you again and again not to be so kind, but Han Yanyan just wouldn't listen. She not only hurt herself, but also hurt others. She wanted to help the child, but everyone, look at this child and his mother, who were trampled to death by this group of heartless people who fled.

Did you see what would happen if these people rushed towards us?

So take care of yourself on the way to escape the famine. We don’t have much to eat, just wild vegetables and tree bark. What can you use to pity others?"

Li Lanzhen looked at Han Yanyan and estimated that she would not live long, but whether she was alive or dead, it had nothing to do with her.

As long as he doesn't harm her and her family, just let him be. But now he is bringing trouble upon himself.

The people fleeing famine scattered and quickly moved away from the people of Hanjia Village.

The old village chief asked Han Shunde to put Han Yanyan on their ox cart.

Aunt Huaihua had already dressed Han Yanyan, and Han Shunde put her on the ox cart and left her alone.

When Han Zhaoxiong's wife saw Han Yanyan lying on the ox cart, she immediately carried her little daughter Ruyi off the cart. She would rather walk by herself than sit on the cart with this ungrateful man.

Aunt Huaihua even told her to put Ruyi on the ox cart, but she shook her head and said, "No, I'm afraid that ungrateful person will throw my daughter out."

Aunt Huaihua smiled awkwardly.

After reorganizing the team, everyone continued to move forward.

Han Shunde instructed everyone to follow one another and not to keep any distance. The distance between the Hanjia Village team was too far, and Xue Bao and his dozen men had no way to protect them.

This went on without incident until noon, when the sun was at its hottest, when the snow leopard finally found a dry grove.

There are already more than 30 people resting in the grove.

After they went in, they were more than 200 meters away from those people and left their car and luggage.

Han Shunde said, "Everyone, take a rest here, avoid the sun, and wait until it's a little cooler. Then we can go and rest later in the evening."

Perhaps it was because a dozen young men from Hanjia Village waving swords and sticks in their hands frightened the people fleeing famine, and no one dared to approach him anymore.

The weather was hot and Han Yanyan began to vomit blood on the ox cart.

Li Lanzhen could tell at a glance that the internal organs had been injured by the trampling.

She didn't pay too much attention to Han Yanyan. Her life and death had nothing to do with her, Li Lanzhen.

Perhaps it was the refugees' rushing forward that frightened Linglong and Su Chen.

From then on, the two children sat on the big blue mule cart and refused to get off.

They walked until the moon came out, but they still hadn't found a suitable place to stay.

Finally, they settled down by a dried-up river.

Han Shunde asked everyone to line up their cars on the periphery and people to live inside, with three bonfires built in the middle.

Han Mingjiang pulled the big blue mule and the small black donkey and fed them some hay and water used to wash pots and pans.

Li Lanzhen secretly fed the big blue mule and the black donkey a handful of soybeans.

By the way, I also fed a handful of soybeans to the donkeys of Xue Laohu and Zhang Deshui.

These animals pulling the carts should be treated better.

Li Erhan and his son Li Xishui checked the cars of several families. They were sturdy but very heavy and could not carry much stuff.

Li Lanzhen's family's big blue mule cart was pulling a few children. The mule was covered in sweat, and Li Lanzhen felt very distressed.

After giving some extra food to a few cart pullers, she walked slowly toward the campfire. From a distance, she saw three people talking to the old village chief.

As they talked, tears streamed down their cheeks. She wondered if she could meet any relatives on the road to escape the famine.

When he arrived at his home, he saw that the children had eaten their fill and were sleeping on the straw mats. He asked Han Mingjiang, "What's going on with the village chief?"

“Oh! Mom, you don’t even know that those 20 or 30 people over there are actually from the same town as us.

Dongjiazhuang, not far from our Hanjia Village, is bigger than our village, with nearly 200 people. They fled and encountered soldiers conscripting men. They took away more than a dozen people from the village. They fled all the way and encountered robbers. They took away several girls and killed many old people. Now there are only or of them left. When they saw the old village chief, they started crying. "

Li Lanzhen knew without a doubt that they had gone through everything they should have experienced during their escape from famine, but she had a golden finger that could protect Hanjia Village a little.

"So what do they mean? They want to follow us?"

Han Mingjiang shook his head. "I don't know yet. If they want to follow us, the old village chief should come and ask you."

As the mother and daughter were talking, the old village chief came over with a hunched man.

"Lan Zhen, this is Dong Dashan, the village chief of Dongjiazhuang in our town."

Dong Dashan looked about the same age as the old village chief, but he looked much more haggard and his back was hunched. He looked at Li Lanzhen with a flattering smile, "Niece, I just told your old village chief that I wanted to go with him, but he couldn't make the decision, so I came to ask you."

Li Lanzhen said, “We are going east to Youzhou Prefecture.

If you want to go there, just follow me, but you are responsible for your own food and drink safety along the way."

Dong Dashan did not expect Li Lanzhen to agree so readily. He nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "Hey, hey, we are responsible for it ourselves. We are responsible for it ourselves."

The old village chief also nodded gratefully at Li Lanzhen, smiled and took Dong Dashan away.

Li Lanzhen sat there and thought a lot. She only had a golden finger, and she just wanted to find a stable place to live with her family and a few in-laws. As for whether others would follow her or not, that was their business and had nothing to do with her.
