Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

Wang Goudan pondered in silence.

"Speak up! You kicked that person, and not only did you get me beaten up, but I haven't even gotten a wife yet, and now my family is being divided."

Wang Shuanzi was anxious, with resentment lingering in his eyes.

He slapped his head and realized, "That's right, I didn't even tell Dad. I didn't kick him, so why did you hit me too? Even if the family is divided, I shouldn't be included!"

"Cough cough..." Wang Goudan suddenly covered his chest, as if he was in great pain. After a long time, he looked at Wang Shuanzi and explained the situation.

"Shuanzi, don't you understand? That old man only cares about his position as the village head. He has never cared about us brothers since we were young. He doesn't want us anymore."

Wang Goudan lengthened his voice and continued to analyze with Wang Shuanzi.

"If he wasn't afraid of the villagers stabbing him in the back, saying he was so cruel that he could even abandon his own flesh and blood, I'm afraid he would have thrown us two overboard while fleeing the famine!"

"Then...what should I do? Dad just said...I don't want to starve, and I don't want to split up the family. If we split up the family, I won't be able to get married." Wang Shuanzi wilted.

"Look at how cowardly you are. I'm here, how can I let you starve?" Wang Goudan sighed that his younger brother was as easy to fool as ever.

He stroked Wang Shuanzi's head and whispered, "I'll have a wife too."

Apart from this little episode, everyone was in harmony on the road, and any small anger was suppressed in time, and they were busy heading to Nanshan.

"Lu Yi, I see you keep looking forward. What are you looking at?" Sister Ying's eldest son came over and asked curiously.

"do not know."

"I wonder if you still watch it?"

"I just can't see clearly. The more I can't see clearly, the more I want to see." Lu Yi said perfunctorily, but his eyes suddenly focused and he said silently: "Here it comes."

Yingjie's eldest son scratched the back of his head and was about to ask more questions when the convoy suddenly became chaotic, with everyone talking and shouting. He pricked up his ears to listen.

"Go back, go back!"

"It's locusts, lots of locusts, run!"

There was a large patch of pitch black on the horizon. It was not until they flew closer that I could see that they were damn locusts!

Lu Yi pulled down the canopy on the cart and blocked it tightly. Every household reacted and some stuffed food into their mouths, while others threw their whole bodies over the sacks of food.

Mrs. Huang even knelt on the ground with several old sisters, muttering to herself in a mysterious way.

Lu Yi looked at the locusts that came and went quickly and sighed.

"Head of the village, please tell me, are we still going this way?"

Village Chief Wang glanced at his face and said, "Let's go, of course we have to go. Are the villagers of Shangshui Village going to back out before we even reach Nanshan?!"

The deliberately amplified sound rang in the villagers' ears, vaguely awakening some of their spirits.

Village Chief Wang inspected the team and shouted, "Everyone, don't forget, the reason we decided to leave the village and go to the South Mountain to find a way out was not because we were afraid of these locusts. What are we afraid of? Think about it carefully!"

"Those barbarians hold real swords in their hands, and their hearts are all hard and cold. You have a lucky mentality, but I dare not have one! Having said that, those of you who want to go back can go back on your own. Those who want to go to Nanshan with me, now! Set off immediately!"

His face was solemn. Many elderly people who were sitting on the ground crying for food were persuaded by him and helped to stand up by their children and grandchildren. There were wet traces of tears on the wrinkles of time.

"Come on, we'll follow you!"

The arrival of the locusts was enough to prove that what the village head said was true. When the old man with white hair thought of the legendary barbarians who killed people like crazy, he would subconsciously shudder.

The commotion caused by the locusts was suppressed. Lu Yi brushed his sleeves to his elbows and gave Liang Sulan a look that told her to sit down peacefully.

The sound of cart wheels could be heard, and the villagers of Shangshui Village gradually encountered some groups that were also fleeing famine.

There was no conversation. From a distance, one could see that both sides had already shown vigilance in their eyes, and they tactfully avoided each other.

However, some tactless people came to visit during meal time.

Lu Yi stirred the porridge in the pot, glanced at an acquaintance who was jumping towards him from a distance, and then lowered his eyelids.

"Mom, Xiaomei, you guys eat first. I'm going to take care of something and will be back soon."

Lu Yi stood up, walked to Wang Shuanzi and took him away.

"What are you doing? Walk slower, let me go, I can walk by myself!" Wang Shuanzi saw him coming towards him and shrank back slightly, but unfortunately he failed to dodge and was still dragged away by someone.

"What are you here for?" Lu Yi asked straight to the point, impatience in his eyes.

Wang Shuanzi wanted to play dirty, but seeing the look on the other person's face, he held back what he had prepared and dared not say it. After thinking for a moment, he politely apologized, "Lu Yi, I know it wasn't you who harmed us. My brother is recovering in the carriage and can't walk. I came here to apologize to you on his behalf."

He awkwardly straightened his messed up hair, and said inwardly, "I want to ask, did you promise before..."

Wang Shuanzi caught Lu Yi's suddenly cold eyes, swallowed his saliva, and silently grasped his crutch to draw courage.

Then he made a second request, "My brother asked if you could give us some food. I'm very hungry."

Lu Yi laughed speechlessly. She crossed her arms and gave Wang Shuanzi a disdainful look.

"Wang Shuanzi, I'll only say this once. If you come to me again, I'll kill you."

After saying that, Lu Yi turned around, went back to the cart, picked up the multi-grain porridge Liang Sulan had left for her, and blew on it to heat it up.

"What does Shuanzi want to talk to you about?" Liang Sulan couldn't find the answer from Lu Yi's face, so she just asked directly.

"Are you looking for food?! Mom is telling you, he's not a good person, don't get too close to him."

Lu Yi took a sip of porridge and said, "That's not true. He and I have no relationship at all. Why would I give him food? It has nothing to do with me if he starves to death. I just need to take care of my own family."

"Well, then I feel relieved." Liang Sulan was relieved. Seeing that Lu Yi listened to her so much, she felt a little sweet in her heart. She wondered if it was because of what Old Lu had told her in his dream that time.

Passing by a large group of houses, it looked like a village. Someone volunteered to go over and check it out. Soon, he ran over excitedly and shouted:

"Head, no one lives there! I've checked several rooms and called out, but no one's living there!"

He ran out of breath and described loudly what he saw.

"Village head, in this case, we don't really have to go to Nanshan." The oldest person spoke first, and soon others echoed him.

"Yes, headman, I think the environment here is not bad. We have walked so far, and we may not encounter barbarians. Why don't we stay here for a while."

"Yeah, we're not staying here long anyway. Once the imperial court sends troops to wipe out those barbarians, we'll move back to Shangshui Village and everything will be fine!"

Village Chief Wang frowned habitually, thinking about what everyone said, his eyes falling quietly on the village in front of him.

After a long time, he spoke.

"Let's stay here tonight."
