After this experience, the villagers began to pay attention to their own hygiene.

If someone doesn't boil water before drinking, his wife and mother will chase him with a fire poker and beat him up.

I really took it to heart.

Of course, no villagers would commit crimes against the wind now.

We walked and stopped on this mountain and didn't encounter heavy rain again.

But the speed has dropped a lot.

Yu Yaozu was so anxious that he got irritated and his mouth was covered in blisters.

This side was moving slowly, but there was a noisy sound coming from the team behind.

Yu Yaozu in the front couldn't hear clearly why.

It happened to be the village head's turn to hold the fort in the back today, and he was now getting a headache from the noise.

Yu Yaozu called Qiao Mu out and asked her to hold the cart:

"Wife, please take care of this mule cart. I'll go to the back to see what's going on. I'm so tired I've become a fool, and I still have time to argue. There are so many trivial matters every day..."

Qiao Mu sat on the shaft of the carriage, watching Yu Yaozu walk away cursing, then turned to look at Yu Baibai who was sleeping soundly in the carriage.

How could she not know what kind of person her man is?

At this moment, he was thinking about breaking up...

Even if we don't break up, we have to go our separate ways.

After all, Qiao Mu didn't expect that the former playboy could endure for so long.

as predicted……

Less than half an hour later, Yu Yaozu came back.

Qiao Mu couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Breaking up?"

Yu Yaozu was surprised when he heard this and nodded:

"Well, those who don't have livestock back there... are all preparing to go back to the shed and stay..."

Ugh!

Is it good to live here?

This place is close to the mountains. If it weren't for the fact that there are so many of them, the wild beasts would not approach here, and there is also the insect repellent that Qiao Qingfeng sprinkled beside the shed.

How could these peasant men and women, who were so weak that they couldn't even tie a chicken, escape harm from the hands of wild beasts?

At the foot of the mountain in Yujia Village, you never know when a large beast will come down the mountain to harm people, not to mention this deep mountain.

This was followed by the sound of a gong, three regular beats, meaning to stop and rest.

Then the boy from the headman's house, Yu Fei, ran from house to house calling people.

Yu Yaozu gave some instructions to Qiao Mu and went to call his father-in-law to go to the meeting.

When Yu Yaozu arrived, there was no sound at all and no one dared to speak.

What ideas can we farmers have? The road is hopeless, too long, and we can't even see the end at a glance.

The journey is too hard. The men can still hold on, but the elderly and children can't.

Staying in this forest, at least there are leaves to eat and a stream to drink water.

After the trees are cut down and taken good care of, we can grow some food to make a living.

These things now can barely last until the food comes, or you can try your luck and get some bird eggs, which can be considered as food.

Everyone was there. The village head looked around and saw that they were either men he had grown up with or men he had watched grow up. They were all tanned.

Forget it, it’s all because of the world, let’s just break up.

"Alas, I'm the head of our village. I brought you all here. Now you want to stay in the mountains and settle down... But think carefully. Are you accepting your fate?"

"Uncle Village Head, you know my family's situation. My wife can't hold on any longer. We don't know when this will end. We only have food for the next two days..."

The man who was speaking had his back bent, bent by the weight of life.

How could he not know the consequences of staying behind? If he followed the village head, even if they had no food at home, they would not watch them starve to death.

But

He can't hold them back!

He has to have a conscience!

"Shitou is right, Uncle Village Chief. We can't keep up with everyone else even if we walk, and our food is almost gone... We... We can't walk anymore!"

"Village head, just think of us as having settled down here! When we settle down and our lives get better, our descendants will come looking for you!"

"Once we're settled and this disaster is over, we'll be back to Yujia Village to wait for everyone since we're close to home!"

"You..." The village head was shocked by these men. None of them were honest men, but no one had ever said such a thing before.

Yu Yaozu sighed: "Have you really thought it through?"

"Think about it."

"Village head, please stop trying to persuade us. We've already thought it through."

The village head, who was also the clan leader, took out a book wrapped in cloth from his arms and touched the book with his rough hands.

"Oh, forget it, set up the offering table and open the ancestral hall!"

Yu Yaozu and his men collected some things from each family and found a board to use as a table.

The head of the village asked his son to get the incense burner. When everything was ready and the incense was lit, the villagers of Yujia Village knelt down one after another.

Qiao Qingfeng and his two sons stood aside, keeping watch and not moving forward.

The women were further away, kneeling with their children.

The village head changed into his long gown and tidied up his messy hair:

"My dear ancestors, the 86th generation leader of the clan established the ancestral hall here. Now that we are in troubled times, we have no choice but to leave the clan land.

There are currently 32 branches left, and we hope our ancestors will bless us.

——Settlement: Nanwang Mountain.”

The village head sang out:

"kneel--!"

Everyone kowtowed, and some were sobbing softly.

"The Wangshan Peak clan steps forward to pay their respects!"

Then one family after another came forward, each with red eyes.

Next they are the branches, the people who have left the main lineage. They will have to walk their own path in the future without any help from the clan.

About an hour later, the village head put away the written genealogy:

"You guys better be careful in this deep mountain!"

"Yes!"

"The journey is long and arduous, everyone... take good care!"

The separation is so quick, and everyone goes their separate ways!

There are two groups of people on the left and the right. It will be extremely difficult to meet them again in the future.

This one share accounts for more than half, and there are only twelve households left.

Including both big and small people, there are only about a hundred people.

The people driving the livestock continued to move forward slowly. According to the news from the scout team, they would be able to leave the mountain in one day.

We didn't even stop at noon, and people from each family took turns eating dry food in the car.

As they walked, the sun disappeared, the sky gradually darkened, and the team stopped.

The aunts began to prepare their own meals and also prepare dry food for tomorrow.

Yu Yaozu had already informed everyone that from now on everyone should work non-stop during the day and each family should prepare their own dry food.

The remaining few families were relatively wealthy and had no shortage of food, so they could barely make ends meet.

Only Yu Goudan, Yu Huzi and Yu Piezi had no family background.

The three of them were hooligans in the village. No one cared about them when they were young, and no one at home cared about them when they grew up.

Now that they have fled the famine, none of their family members have left and have stayed in the village.

Not to mention they have food.

The reason they were able to follow the team alive was that the village headman made them scouts, and each family had to eat and drink, so they were able to survive.
