The sky was dark and the night wind was blowing gently.

Tang Qiyue glanced at the hopeful and frightened faces and said in a deep voice, "Boss Hu's injuries make it difficult for him to travel at the moment, but we are fleeing from famine and must travel, so we need everyone to work together tonight to make a cart suitable for Boss Hu to lie on."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this, "Boss Hu died for us, so we have to make this cart."

They all knew that without Boss Hu they would not have been able to travel so far along the way, and if Boss Hu died, their journey would be very difficult.

At this time, two men who knew carpentry stepped forward and said, "Let us make the cart. We guarantee it will be sturdy."

There was not enough time for two people to do it, so other men, regardless of whether they knew how to do it or not, came to help, including Lin San, who still had red eyes. Some were chopping trees, while others were thinking about how to do it.

Tang Qiyue was very satisfied with the way everyone worked together. Her eyes fell on the women of the Lin family. "There is not much food left in Huaiyang Prefecture. This is all I can buy when I go to the city. Let's share it among you."

She was not stingy with the food she took out. After distributing it according to households, she asked Granny Mo and the others to collect firewood and make food. As for the pieces of coarse cloth, she kept one for Lin and gave the rest to a woman in the team who was good at needlework, so that she could make clothes for a few people who were wearing tattered clothes.

Tang Qiyue's series of actions made her gain a lot of trust in everyone. After Boss Hu fell, she became the backbone in everyone's eyes.

Everyone was busy in an orderly manner. In the middle of the night, Boss Hu woke up slowly once, but fell asleep again before he could say anything. Tang Qiyue was completely relieved when she saw this. Being able to wake up meant that his life was no longer in danger.

On the second day, the simple and sturdy cart was completed. After everyone worked together to move Boss Hu onto the cart, they continued on their way while eating bread. This time, the Tang family members were at the front of the team, and Boss Hu was placed in the middle of the team, protected by everyone.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's so stuffy that it's hard to breathe.

Tang Laosan, Lin San and other men in the team took turns pushing the cart, but the road was a bit bumpy and Boss Hu was inevitably bumped a little.

Seeing this, Tang Qiyue knew that she had to find a place to rest quickly. It would be best to rest for two more days so that Boss Hu could wake up as soon as possible.

So, she stopped and said, "You guys continue walking in the back, I'll go to the front and take a look first."

Without giving Lin and the others a chance to refuse, Tang Qiyue had already disappeared around the corner of the road. This time she did not bring Zhao Bao with her. Sometimes it was safer for a kid to stay with his grandmother.

Tang Qiyue ran forward as fast as she could until she saw a not-so-conspicuous dilapidated temple in the distance, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

The dilapidated temple was full of holes and there were dried-up rat carcasses on the ground. The stench was so bad that the young ones almost vomited.

After spending some time cleaning up the ruined temple, Tang Qiyue decided to rest here for the next few days. Tang Lao San and others carried Hu Lao Da to the weed pile, while the others cleaned up their own resting places. After everything was cleaned up, Tang Qiyue asked Granny Mo to bring people to cook food.

At present, everyone has enough water to make several meals of corn porridge. After eating dry biscuits all the way, it would be best to eat something soft now.

"There is a dilapidated temple ahead. Let's rest here tonight." Suddenly, a rough and joyful voice came into the dilapidated temple, along with the sound of rather messy footsteps.

Tang Qiyue was feeding Zhaobao milk powder in the corner, so she didn't notice it at first, until the entrance to the dilapidated temple was blocked by someone and the light became dim.

"Hey! There's someone in here." The burly man glanced at the people in the dilapidated temple, and finally his eyes fell on the unconscious Boss Hu. "Are you all together? Where's the leader? Come out! I want to talk to him."

This group of uninvited guests blocked the door tightly, and their fierce appearance frightened Tang Shuyao and the other children, and the adults were also very scared. Because there were almost fifty people on the other side, including the elderly and children, it was obvious that they were also a group of refugees.

After Tang Qiyue fed Zhaobao, she handed him over to Lin and stood up, "It's me. What do you want from me?"

Seeing that the leader was actually a woman, the man's face changed slightly, and then he burst into laughter, saying that women are good and it is easier to get things done with women.

The eyes of the other people blocking the entrance of the dilapidated temple were gleaming with greed, because when Tang Qiyue and the others were cooking corn porridge before, they did not clean up the leftover food in time, so it was now directly exposed to the eyes of strangers.

"They actually have so much food. Haha, we don't have to go hungry tonight."

"There seems to be some dried meat. My dear grandson is craving for meat. He will be able to eat it soon."

This group of people looked at and talked about Tang Qiyue and their food unscrupulously, as if they were treating other people's food as their own.

Tang Qiyue's face was gloomy and she spoke first, "We were the first to come here, you should leave quickly."

They are few in number, and now that Boss Hu is injured, it would be best if there is no conflict.

Unfortunately, the group of people who broke in didn't think so. The burly man touched his chin and said, "We finally found this dilapidated temple, and you said we can't go in, so why?"

"That's right, why should we leave? Let me tell you, anyone can rest here, and whoever is stronger gets it." The one who spoke was a mean-looking woman, and her triangular eyes revealed a fierce look that made her look like someone who was not to be messed with.

Tang Qiyue stared at her, then his eyes fell on the faces of the people behind her, and said with a half-smile, "So, you must enter this dilapidated temple now?"

"What's the matter! Why don't you let us in? Why don't you let us in? This broken temple is yours." The woman pinched her waist and glared at Tang Qiyue, cursing.

Lin, who couldn't bear to see her daughter being treated like this, rushed over and said, "What are you yelling about? Do you want to hit someone? Dare you touch my daughter?"

Lin had a loud voice, and the woman she was yelling at was stunned.

"I just want to beat someone up, so what? There are so many of us, why are you afraid of us? Anyway, I'm going to enter this broken temple today! No one can stop me!"

"Impossible!" Lin rolled up her sleeves, looking ready to fight at any time. Tang Lao San stood behind her with a serious face. As for Tang Qingshu, he was holding Zhao Bao and holding Tang Shuyao's hand, and he also didn't want to give in.

Tang Qiyue stepped forward helplessly and stood in front of the Lin family members. She ignored the woman's angry glare and looked at the burly man and said, "We are all refugees and have difficulties, but we occupied this dilapidated temple first. If you insist on taking it, we are not afraid."

I didn't expect Tang Qiyue to say that. The burly man sneered disdainfully, "Are you not afraid? There are only a few of you. Can you beat more than a dozen of us?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Just give up your space and we won't bother with you. Hurry up."
