Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

Outside the carriage, the villagers of Darong Village had never expected Kou Zhong to explode like this. Seeing that the situation was critical, everyone could no longer sit still.

Half of the people were left to guard the food and the elderly and the weak, while the others gritted their teeth and joined the battle with swords in hand.

With the support of the people in Darong Village and the fact that the refugees had been hungry for many days and were exhausted, the situation was quickly brought under control.

Most of the refugees dispersed far away, and the few who resisted stubbornly and even intended to commit violence and robbery were all killed by the angry crowd.

After an incense stick of time, the carriage was covered with broken limbs, debris and bloodstains.

Brother Ma Da and Brother Ma Er, who were initially dragged out of the carriage, were also found.

However, both of them were unconscious, and one of Brother Ma's ears was bitten off.

There were also several pieces of flesh missing from Ma Erge's arms.

This horrifying scene not only frightened Ma San Ge and Xu Xiangxiang, but also sent a chill down the spine of everyone in Darong Village.

It's so scary, these people are crazy!

The carriage was badly damaged and the three horses pulling it were covered in blood.

This group of beasts even ate humans, and the flesh on the horse was torn into pieces. It was now dying and it was obvious that it would not live long.

The scene was like hell on earth.

Everyone was silent for a moment, only Xu Xiangxiang's terrified crying could be heard.

Kou Zhong glanced at Xu Xiangxiang, turned around and jumped off the carriage. He walked to the crowd in Darong Village and said with his head down, "Village Chief, I was too reckless."

"It almost caused trouble for everyone."

The village chief sighed and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Good boy, you did the right thing."

"It would be wrong to stand idly by."

Kou Zhong pursed his lips, and a rare smile appeared on his cold face.

Under the vigilant gaze of the people in Darong Village, the group of refugees no longer dared to act rashly.

More importantly, they found that there was no more extra food in the carriage.

Even the remaining donkey meat was gone!

Many people had vague suspicions in their hearts.

They looked at the Ma family's carriage more eagerly.

Seeing these eyes, everyone's heart felt heavy.

It took a full quarter of an hour before Brother Ma San finally managed to cheer up. After settling Xu Xiangxiang, he woke up Brother Ma Da and Brother Ma Er.

The two were seriously injured. They barely opened their eyes to confirm that their younger sister was safe and sound, and then fell into a coma again.

Ma San Ge's eyes were red as he looked at Xu Xiangxiang helplessly, then turned to the people in Darong Village.

The village chief sighed, called Su Rongze over, and whispered a few words to him.

Su Rongze nodded, walked to the cart, found the remaining medicinal herbs in Jizhou City, and carefully prepared a prescription.

He presented the medicine to the village chief, who examined it for a moment and nodded with satisfaction: "There has been some progress."

"Add some more Panax notoginseng and Atractylodes macrocephala, but use less."

Upon hearing this, Su Rongze quickly adjusted the prescription. He did not move towards Ma San Ge until the village chief agreed.

"Please boil this medicine into soup and help them take it."

"But we only have so many medicinal herbs on hand. Whether they can survive depends on their luck."

Ma Sange immediately burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

He wiped his tears and quickly handed the medicine bag to Xu Xiangxiang.

Xu Xiangxiang's clothes were torn, but she still managed to take the medicine and busied herself with decocting it in her own small space.

After a while, she carefully handed the bowl of medicine to Ma San Ge.

Everyone saw this scene and they all secretly confirmed that this little girl must be quite capable.

No wonder her three brothers dote on her.

Sun Wan secretly shook her head, fearing that the little girl would have to face more storms in the future.

Xu Xiangxiang herself was still unaware. Even in modern times, she was just a junior high school student of thirteen or fourteen years old. She had never experienced such a thrilling thing in this life or her previous life.

Those people were like crazy, she almost lost her life!

When Xu Xiangxiang thought about the dangerous situation just now, her legs began to tremble involuntarily.

But then she thought about the scene where Kou Zhong came down like a god to save her from danger, and her cheeks couldn't help but blush.

He is indeed the character she has always admired the most. He is full of righteousness and looks so handsome when he swings his sword!

Xu Xiangxiang covered her burning face with her hands, her heart pounding like a deer.

Brother Ma San helped his eldest and second brothers feed some medicine, and he felt a little relieved when he saw their breathing gradually stabilize.

Looking at the broken carriage and the fallen horse, he turned to the villagers of Darong Village.

Ma San Ge then walked to the front of the crowd and bowed deeply: "Thanks to everyone for their help, I am very grateful!"

"You have saved my family's lives. I have no way to repay this great kindness, but I will always remember it in my heart and will do my best to repay you in the future!"

"No, I can repay you all right now. From now on, whenever you need water, just come to us brothers and sisters. It's free and unlimited!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed: "It's just a small favor, Brother Ma San, don't mind it."

Ma Sange was filled with gratitude, but his expression became somewhat embarrassed, with a hint of pleading: "It's just that two of our three brothers have already fallen, and my younger sister is weak."

“I wonder if I can go on the journey with you guys?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other.

This "going on the road together" is obviously not that simple.

Brother Ma San wanted to join their team and support each other.

If it was before the attack just now, these people in Darong Village would certainly be more than happy to cooperate, but now the abilities of the youngest sister of the Ma family are well known to everyone, and the risks of cooperating at this time would be too great.

Everyone hesitated, and finally their eyes turned to the village chief and Sun Wan.

The village chief pondered for a moment, and Sun Wan directly refused: "I'm so sorry."

"As you can see, there are so many of us here, including the elderly, children, women and young women. We simply cannot afford this risk."

Sun Wan didn't say anything absolute: "But since we are all going to Huizhou, if we encounter difficulties on the road again, we will naturally not sit idly by."

Brother Ma San pursed his lips.

There's a fine line between looking out for each other and not sitting idly by.

But he could understand the choice of Darong Village. They had acted too ostentatiously before, which was indeed unwise.

In the carriage, Xu Xiangxiang heard Sun Wan's words and couldn't help but pout, looking unhappy.

Just now her mind was full of Kou Zhong's figure, and only now did she quietly lift the corner of the curtain and steal a few glances at Sun Wan.

She was about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, just passable, but her skin was rough and yellow, and it was obvious at first glance that she was a country woman who had never seen the world.

Xu Xiangxiang sneered in her heart, who cares about your little favor, Auntie.

Then, her gaze turned gently to Kou Zhong.

Looking at Kou Zhong's slightly immature but handsome face, she asked softly with hope: "Brother Kou Zhong, can you help Xiangxiang?"

The voice was soft and a little coquettish, like a little hand tickling someone's heart, and many people around got goose bumps after hearing it.

Kou Zhong seemed much calmer. He first glanced at Xu Xiangxiang, then looked at the villagers of Darong Village and shook his head firmly.
