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

Everyone came here full of hope, but was dumbfounded when they saw what they saw.

Perhaps the wild mountains and the area at the foot of the mountain were filled with refugees like them, which dealt a heavy blow to the people of Lao Hanjia Village. They lost all hope and became discouraged. They sat down on the ground one by one, refusing to take another step forward.

When the old village chief saw this scene, he seemed to have aged ten years. He hunched over, coughing "cough cough cough" and sat on the ground, not wanting to move.

Li Lanzhen was also very disappointed. The mountain in front of her looked barren no matter how she looked at it. There were trees halfway up the mountain, but no green. Not to mention the foot of the mountain, there was not even a blade of green grass. The tree trunks were bare, because the hungry people had peeled off the bark and eaten it.

The refugees around them glanced at them and continued doing their own things with indifference.

Li Lanzhen saw that they were in good spirits and should have enough food to eat. However, there were also people staring at their car with ill intentions, and some were looking at them from the back of the building.

She noticed that there were three or five big men among them, looking at them from a distance with their arms folded across their chests.

Li Lanzhen keenly noticed that the eyes of these people were all red. Based on their experience of fleeing, she knew that they must have eaten human flesh.

So I immediately became alert.

Han Shunde and Xue Lao Hu also noticed something strange about this group of people.

The two looked at each other, and Han Shunde began to shout to everyone, "Get up, get up, let's move forward, there are too many people here, it's not easy to accommodate so many of us."

The people from Hanjia Village and Lujiazhuang dragged the old man. The child stood up and prepared to follow Han Shunde and the others to move forward.

The further we walked along the foot of the mountain, the more appalling the condition of the fleeing crowd became. Adults and children alike were all skinny, but they were in good spirits and did not look lifeless.

Li Lanzhen didn't know what was holding them up, and Han Shunde and the others didn't stop to ask. They walked until it was getting dark, and then they gradually left the large group of fleeing people.

Xue Bao and Han Mingjiang came back from exploring the way and told Han Shunde and the old village chief, "Village chief, there is a valley ahead. There are people in it, but not many. It looks like a village. We will go there tonight."

Han Shunde asked, "How far is it?"

Han Mingjiang said, "Village chief, it's about another mile away."

Han Shunde encouraged everyone to work harder and they could take a rest at the front.

At this time, everyone was numb and just kept following the people in front of them.

After arriving at the destination, Li Lanzhen saw that at the entrance of the valley, there were probably dozens of refugees, who had built huts with dead wood and thatch. It looked like they were from a village.

They continued to walk inside and stopped about two or three hundred meters away from these people. Han Shunde told everyone to rest here for a while.

After hearing this, each household found a place for themselves. Some people built simple sheds with straw mats, and more people just lay down on the straw mats.

Physical fatigue and a sense of mental loss made everyone discouraged and demotivated.

Li Lanzhen and her family found a concave place near the mountain. The men skillfully used shovels to continue to trim the mountain and built several straw huts. Goudan and his grandson also built a straw hut next to them.

Without even setting up a pot to cook, he took out some wild vegetable cakes and the little remaining water, ate half full, and then lay down to rest.

After lying down, Li Lanzhen recalled what she had just seen.

Why did so many refugees gather on this side of the mountain instead of crossing the mountain to enter Youzhou City?

Is there any change in Youzhou City? Is it that there are too many people fleeing and Youzhou City can no longer accommodate them, or is it that the King Rong of Youzhou City is also preparing to capture able-bodied men and proclaim himself emperor like the King Jin? With so many people gathered here, there will definitely be chaos and insecurity.

Especially those men, who looked at the women and children of Hanjia Village with red eyes and ill intentions. Li Lanzhen felt uneasy.

At this time, the old village chief called Han Shunde, Xue Lao Hu, Han Dazhong and others, and also talked about what they observed.

The old village chief sighed and said, "It seems that we can't enter Youzhou City. Otherwise, why are all these refugees gathered here? There are so many refugees on this side of the mountain. There should be even more on the other side of the mountain. Alas."

Han Dazhong slapped his knee and said, "Damn it, when I left Hanjia Village, I thought that when I came to Youzhou, I would be able to register with the government office, be assigned to a village, build a house and farm, and live a good life. I didn't expect it to be like this!"

Han Shunde also lowered his head. Who wouldn't think so? He left his hometown and fled all the way here, just wanting a stable place to live a good life, but even this idea could not be realized.

Xue Lao Hu said, "Tomorrow morning I will go over the mountain and enter Youzhou City to check the situation. Everyone should continue to stay here and do not cross the mountain rashly. We will see what happens after we understand the situation in Youzhou City."

Han Shunde said, "Hunter Xue, I will go with you tomorrow."

Xue Lao Hu shook his head. "Village chief, you should stay here. I see that everyone is in a bad mood. Don't get agitated and cause trouble. There are many people here, and they are a mixed crowd. I saw more than a dozen people who don't look like good people. Let's get the guards together tomorrow to protect our safety."

The old village chief nodded and said, "Yes, Hunter Xue is right, let's do it this way."

The old village chief turned to look at Xue Lao Hu and said, "Take Han Mingjiang and Han Zhaoxiong with you tomorrow."

Xue Lao Hu nodded and said yes. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Village chief, tell each household to take good care of their women and children. I see those people's eyes are on women and children. We left our homes and went through hardships to escape the famine and came here. We didn't lose any of our family members along the way. Don't lose them here."

Several people immediately became solemn. Yes, this journey was not easy. They did not leave behind a single elderly person and did not lose a single child. Now that they are here, the situation is complicated and they must be more vigilant.

Han Shunde nodded solemnly, "The guards will continue patrolling tomorrow. I am thinking of organizing the half-grown boys as well and letting them look after their homes."

What were they discussing? Li Lanzhen had no idea. She was so tired that she fell asleep.

But she found out the next day. Before dawn, Xue Nizi gave Han Mingjiang and Xue Lao Hu each three wild vegetable cakes and water from a water bag.

After seeing this, Li Lanzhen said, "My dear, are you going to go over the mountain to Youzhou City to get information?"

Xue Lao Hu looked at everyone and said, "Yes, it will probably take us two days to come back. Please keep an eye on the women and children at home."

Li Lanzhen took a look at the vegetable pancakes Xue Nizi gave them and said, "I understand. You have to be careful outside. Bring your knives and clubs."

Then he pulled over his backpack and rummaged through it. In fact, he took out three firecrackers, six wild vegetable cakes, and an ounce of silver from the space, put them in the bag and handed it to Han Mingjiang.

"Second brother, take this. It's dry food for you and your father-in-law to eat on the way. There are also some firecrackers. Be careful, follow your father-in-law closely, and don't run alone."

Han Mingjiang replied with a smile, "Mom, I will be careful. You should also be careful at home and don't leave the people of Hanjia Village too far."

Turning around, he saw Han Minghai and said, "Brother, I'll be out for two days. Please take care of the house."

After walking a few steps, he looked at Xue Nizi, waved and shouted, "Nizi, take good care of the child."

Xue Nizi also waved her hand and shouted back, "You keep nagging."

Han Mingjiang smiled and followed Xue Lao Hu and Han Zhaoxiong, and the three of them quickly went up the mountain.
