Two days later.
The practice of exchanging labor for food spread from one person to another, and soon spread farther and farther, attracting more refugees.
Food is limited.
But human wisdom is infinite.
Liuzi and his friends used the wood collected by the refugees to quickly make a flatbed cart, while Grandma Jiang and Yu Fugui led people to weave straw ropes, straw sandals, and baskets.
Chen Gang also joined in. He organized new personnel with some guards and sharpened a lot of sharp wooden arrows.
Su Linhua, Nian Qiu and others, along with the maids and old women, secretly made a lot of steamed buns, steamed bread and cakes, and put salt in them. Not only were they durable and easy to preserve, they also didn't take up much space. Everyone in the team carried a few of them on their bodies, so that everyone felt safe.
Su Chengnan walked over and Nanny Han held her back.
"Miss, put two on you too."
"I don't need it." She refused. There were so many things in the space that she couldn't finish them all. There was no need for her to take up everyone's food.
"Take it, we agreed that everyone gets one."
"Take it!"
After spending some time with her, Nanny Han's attitude has changed a lot recently. She speaks more intimately and it's obvious that she is really good to her.
In fact, she also helped to enlighten the lady in private, but unfortunately the lady was confused these days, her personality was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and she gradually became less talkative.
"Okay, I'll take two too."
"Thank you, mama."
Su Chengnan was stubborn and had to accept it. She planned to secretly give it to Goudan, who was being watched by Mr. Sun to memorize his lessons, saying that he had to make up for the lessons he had missed in the past few days, which made the other children in the Su family complain bitterly.
"Boom-"
"咚咚-"
At this time, the sound of gongs came from afar.
Oh no, something happened!
Jia Yi came running over from nowhere, "Miss, please get in the carriage quickly. There are two long and one short sounds. Something is wrong."
"Hurry up and let everyone pack up and get on the road."
"Okay, get in the carriage first."
Qingshan and Ashun also ran out of the tent. The sound of the gong was the signal agreed upon early in the morning. Now all the guards started to move after hearing it.
The people were confused and frightened. They hadn't finished their work yet and didn't know what to do next.
Su Chengnan held up the hem of her skirt, jumped onto the wooden pier, and shouted, "Don't panic, everyone. If you want to follow us north, follow us. If you don't want to, leave quickly."
"what--"
"What should I do?"
"I'll go with you! You have more people, weapons, and food, so your chances of survival are definitely better."
"Yes! Me too!"
A few men stood up first to express their opinions, but the people around them tried to dissuade them.
"Are you crazy? This is heading north!"
"It's freezing cold in the north, and we have to go through Mincheng. What if a fight breaks out?"
The man pulled his arm free with all his strength and frowned, saying, "Let's fight. If Mincheng is really occupied by the White Bears, do you think Dayong will be fine? There will still be chaos."
"I'll follow them and use my strength to earn a meal. It's better than going hungry. Mincheng won't let us in, so do you think Luocheng will let us in? Refugees are refugees wherever they go!"
What he said made sense, and some people around him were moved. They walked silently into the team and expressed their attitude with their actions.
Su Chengnan had already arranged the action plan, and the guards were responsible for their own small parts of the work and the number of people. They threw the things onto the numbered flatbed trucks, tied them up with ropes, and ran back and forth two or three times to pack them up.
Yi Er ran back panting, sweat beading on his forehead. "Hurry up! There's a fight going on in Mincheng. There are White Bear Country cavalrymen setting the city on fire!"
"what?!"
"Go quickly!"
A Shun jumped on his horse and set off with the team first. Su Chengnan and others followed behind and got on the carriage.
When the wheels of the carriage began to turn, she was still worried about the people, so she leaned out half of her body and shouted, "There is a war in Mincheng, you guys should run away quickly."
"Escape? Where should I escape to?"
"This is a chaotic world!"
"The new emperor has only been on the throne for a short time, will he take care of it?"
Many people have been growing crops all their lives, but now faced with the chaos of war, they have lost their backbone and have no choice but to follow the caravan in a panic.
Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up. The Ningyuan Palace is the residence of both the royal family and the general. Besides, there are so many guards with knives and sticks in front of us. It is better than running around aimlessly.
"Come on, let's catch up."
"Are you really leaving?"
"If you don't leave, you're going to die!"
"Hey! Okay, then let's all go together! With more people, we might even have a better chance of winning."
The refugees had been hungry all the way, and the two of them relied on the porridge stalls for the fish and meat. After eating, they had enough energy and their stomachs were no longer empty. Now they walked faster than before.
"The people who followed us picked up some wood and stones on the road to use as weapons, did you hear me?"
"I heard!"
There was a loud rustling sound, and everyone ran to both sides, picking up whatever they saw, making sure their hands were not empty.
"Hurry, walk faster."
"Hey, eh, good."
A lot of wood was placed on the flat board that was hastily made in the past two days. Su Chengnan asked Gangzi to give instructions without hesitation, "Throw away those harmless things they picked up and take the wood."
“Does it need to be recycled?”
Su Chengnan was almost crying because of this guy's stupidity. "Life is more important! What do you want to do with the wood? To increase the transportation burden?"
Gangzi scratched his head and lowered it embarrassedly.
"Hurry up and spread the word. If we encounter an enemy army, the people shouldn't attack the people, just attack the horses. Hit the horses' legs and heads! Every time we kill one, we get an extra piece of horse meat to eat!"
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Gangzi spurred his horse back. When word spread, the people were horrified. "Will there really be a war?" The key question was, what would horse meat taste like? No one had ever tasted it.
Su Chengnan didn't care about anything else. Telling them about this kind of thing earlier would plant a seed in their hearts earlier. As long as it could reduce the possibility of them running around in the middle of a battle and the possibility of their guards getting injured, it would be enough.
Professional things should be left to professionals. To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. As long as A Shun, Qingshan Jia and a few others can kill the enemy's generals in the first place, then the rest of the things will no longer be a problem.
Gangzi went and never came back. He ran back and forth repeatedly, asking and answering himself loudly:
“What if someone from the White Bear Country rushes over?”
"Let's beat them hard!"
"Who made us lose our home?"
"It's these damn foreigners!"
"Do you guys want to do them?"
"want!"
"Okay! Let's beat them hard in a moment!
"Good! Good! Good!"
There were many old people and children among the people. How could they have the courage to fight against the cavalry of the White Bear Country? But the shouts of the young and energetic men around them were getting louder and louder, and courage slowly began to emerge in their hearts.
