The boy obviously didn't want to answer this question. He lowered his head and said nothing.

Shen Jinyao pretended to be stern and said, "If you don't tell me, I won't let you follow us."

A young man at the back was getting anxious. He shouted, "This road is not yours. We can go however we want."

The young man in front called out, "Old Five."

The people behind him didn't say anything, but the young man's indignation could still be felt in the air.

Shen Jinyao crossed her arms and said coldly, "Although the road is not ours, we can choose who can follow us."

"If you tell me clearly what you are going to do in Quzhou, I will let you follow me."

After Shen Jinyao finished speaking, the five brothers looked at each other.

It seemed as if they were negotiating with their eyes.

Shen Jinyao discovered that the person who made the decision seemed to be the young man standing in the second position.

At first Shen Jinyao thought they were from the same family, but after looking carefully, she found that they were just somewhat similar.

The second boy looked at Shen Jinyao looking at him and raised his head high.

He said, "We are going to Quzhou to stay with our relatives."

When Shen Jinyao heard this, she realized that she knew someone in Quzhou.

She took out two pancakes and gestured for them to the five brothers.

At this time, Shen Jinyao was already sitting on the ground, looking like she was going to have a long chat with them.

Seeing this, the five brothers had no choice but to accept the pancakes and sit down.

Shen Jinyao asked, "Going to Quzhou? It's on the border, what good jobs are there?"

One of the boys said, "I can farm. The village chief asked me to farm for them."

Another boy said, "I'm very strong and can do anything."

The rest of the people nodded.

Shen Jinyao: "Do your parents agree too?"

When asked this question, the teenagers fell silent.

The boy said, "My name is Ma Liang, and I'm the second oldest. We are cousins. Our parents died young, and the village chief raised us."

Ma Liang: "Now the disaster continues. Some people have left the village and headed north, while others have headed south. The village chief asked us to go to Quzhou to find Uncle Zhou."

Shen Jinyao: "What does Uncle Zhou do?"

Another boy said, "I heard from the village chief that Uncle Zhou is a landlord. Oh, I'm the third child, and my name is Ma Gui."

"I heard from the village chief that he is rich."

"I heard he knows a lot of people in Quzhou, and he sends money back to the village every year."

Shen Jinyao nodded. After all, Uncle Zhou was a well-known figure in Quzhou.

Moreover, listening to their descriptions, they are people who know how to be grateful to their hometown.

After Shen Jinyao asked all the questions she needed to ask, she left.

Before leaving, she said, "Then let's go together. If you brothers need any help, come to me."

"After all, there is strength in numbers."

Ma Liang nodded, not expecting this matter to be so simple.

After they left Majia Village, they met many refugees on the road and heard others mention this group of people.

They said they were carrying flags, and looked like a security agency but not like security guards.

Each of them has some skills, but there are also many elderly people and women in the team.

I also heard that they killed many people.

But they were very polite to those who fled.

They followed all the way and found the legendary team.

The brothers didn't dare to step forward to say hello, they could only follow slowly from behind.

At first, they thought they would be driven away.

I didn't expect that ten days would pass peacefully.

Before they followed the team, there was always someone around them watching them, even if they had nothing left.

But there were few of them, they were very thin, and they had been robbed several times.

The five brothers didn't expect Shen Jinyao to agree so readily, and they couldn't figure out the reason.

Shen Jinyao had her own plans.

These people are going to Quzhou. If they can travel together, they will have one more connection when they arrive in Quzhou.

As for who the Uncle Zhou they were talking about was, she had never thought about it.

I just think that it’s good to get to know more people when it’s convenient for me.

Shen Jinyao greeted Zong Cheng and Meng Da. After Le Yao knew about it, she asked Ma Liang and the others to stay closer.

He also threatened to protect them.

Not only Shen Jinyao, but all the people who fled the famine could feel that the weather was getting better and better.

Even at night it was a little cool.

Everyone else was very happy, but Zhixue found Shen Jinyao with a sad face.

"Sister, the temperature is dropping so quickly, could it be related to the rain in Huzhou?"

Shen Jinyao glanced at Zhixue and found that he was indeed the second smartest person in the Shen family.

Maybe even smarter than his elder brother Shen Zhizheng.

Shen Jinyao also thought of this problem.

She always remembered the advice Xiang Hongxuan gave her that there was a lot of rain in Huzhou.

Shen Jinyao said, "I've been thinking about this too. We still have five days until we reach Huzhou. The temperature is getting lower and lower these days, so we have to make some plans."

Shen Zhi nodded, fortunately his sister thought of it.

But what should we do?

Shen Jinyao hadn't thought it through completely either.

As a result, when they were on their journey the next day, they actually felt a little cold.

We also encountered refugees on the way.

They were all wet, as if they had just swam out of the water.

Shen Jinyao walked up to them and asked them about the situation ahead.

"Are you still going to Huzhou?"

"Don't go there now, take a detour."

"It's been raining in Huzhou, and the rainwater hasn't been able to drain out in time. Many places are flooded."

"Yes, a lot of crops and people were drowned."

"What? You said there's a drought in Raozhou? That's better than people drowning."

“Few of you can come out alive if you come out with us.”

"Some people also fled to Quzhou, but I heard there was a war going on there."

"Alas, why is life so difficult for ordinary people like us?"

Accompanying Shen Jinyao were Meng Da and Zong Cheng.

After hearing this, both of them frowned.

Shen Jinyao asked, "Is it raining all over Huzhou?"

The man was a little confused. "We are in the north of Huzhou, relatively close to Longzhou. It has been raining there for three months."

"But we heard that flash floods occurred in some places in Huzhou. We don't know the specific situation."

"You should just turn back. Nothing is more important than life."

What is more important than life?

Of course there are.

That is the decree.

After Shen Jinyao and the other two had inquired, they all walked back to the carriage with serious faces.

The other members of the Shen family are resting now.

They all saw Shen Jinyao and others going to inquire about the news, and when they saw the expressions of the three of them, they knew that things should not be simple.

After Shen Jinyao returned, she first took the map to study.

Then he took a piece of firewood and wrote and drew on the ground.

She thought for a while and no one disturbed her.

There has indeed never been such a situation.

"Given the current situation, I have no choice but to explore the way first."
