It's getting late.

Chen and Zhou Laoer, who went to the town, have not returned yet, and Zhou Lingling can't help but feel a little worried.

She and Zhou Yun sat side by side at the door of the house, both holding their chins and looking at the official road not far away.

Zhou Yun said, "It's so late, aren't parents coming back?"

Zhou Lingling shook her head.

"No, Mom said she would be back today."

What she is worried about now is whether her parents will encounter any trouble on their way back...

Just today, Uncle Tie and his friends discovered that more refugees had appeared on the official road outside.

There were also people who came and wandered around the village, but were scolded away by Uncle Tie and the others.

Zhou Yun thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go pick them up."

Zhou Lingling held him back and said, "Brother, call Uncle Tie and the others, let's go together."

Zhou Yun turned around and ran in.

Tie Yuan was resting in the front yard. When he heard Zhou Yun's words, he brought Lu Yuan and others out.

Although Tie Yuan and the others will live in the Zhou family in their old age in the future, they still have some inconveniences.

It would be fine if he was dealing with ordinary people and weak servants, but he was afraid of something going wrong when he encountered those fearless refugees.

So to be on the safe side, he called a few young guys so that if Zhou Erge and his wife were really stopped on the road, they would be able to deal with it.

It must be said that Zhou Lingling's worries are not unnecessary.

Before it got dark, Tie Yuan drove the carriage along the official road towards the town.

the other side,

Chen and his group were indeed stopped by someone.

Originally, in the afternoon, after Zhou Laoer and his wife had settled the people in the store, they went to Chen's house with Sang Lin and others to pick up people.

Not only did they pick up the Chen family, but they also brought Wu Xiucai along at Chen Jiaping's suggestion. The group headed to the farm outside the town, and everything went smoothly.

Until halfway through the journey, I met a group of people.

Unlike the refugees they had encountered before who only lived in one or two families, this group of people came from the same village and looked more organized.

Sang Lin noticed that the entire team was mostly composed of young and middle-aged people, with almost no elderly people, and few women and children, so he became a little cautious.

The refugees also noticed the two ox carts.

In one car sat two old men and a middle-aged scholar, and in the other sat a couple. The cars were filled with parcels, and there were three or four strong men and two half-grown children.

Both sides looked at each other secretly, but neither took any action.

Sang Lin was in front, driving the ox cart carrying Old Lady Chen and Chen the Butcher. Seeing that they were about to pass by this group of people, his heart was in his throat.

But the group did not move, and the first car passed smoothly.

Before Sang Lin could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a sudden commotion in the opposing team.

A woman holding a child suddenly rushed out from the opposite side and fell in front of the second ox cart driven by Zhou Laoer.

Sang Lin and others were forced to stop, and everyone else also stood by the ox cart, ready for battle.

"Please, save my child!"

"Please save my child!"

The woman held the child and kowtowed hard on the ground. Soon, bright red blood appeared on her forehead.

Chen was startled and finally reacted.

"You are such a... what are you doing blocking our car? Get out of the way!"

But no matter what Chen said, the woman just kept kowtowing and asked them to save her child.

At this moment, the person on the opposite side also reacted.

A middle-aged man turned his head to look at the crowd and shouted:

"Li Yong! Are you dead? You can't even look after a woman!"

Then a hunched man walked out of the crowd, with his head lowered, and walked tremblingly towards the woman kneeling on the ground.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the woman moved towards the ox cart with the child in her arms.

"No! Li Yong, you are not a man!"

"Those people are going to kill your own son!"

The woman cried and used her hands and feet to protect the child to prevent the man from getting close.

But the man seemed to be oblivious to the woman's punches and kicks. He simply grabbed her hair and tried to drag her back...

Chen Jiakang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but his mother held his hand and he could not move forward.

He looked at his mother with red eyes: "Mom!"

There were tears in Aunt Chen's eyes, but she shook her head firmly.

"Don't forget the lessons of the past few days."

Chen Jiakang and Chen Jiaping, who was also pulled by Uncle Chen, realized that the lesson their mother was talking about was exactly what happened to their grandfather a few days ago.

Thinking of what happened to their grandfather and the atmosphere in their family these days, the two brothers lowered their heads silently.

Old Mrs. Chen and Chen the Butcher had lived for most of their lives, and they had only seen such a scene thirty years ago. Wisely, they chose to remain silent.

Unlike the others who only thought about the woman getting beaten and scolded when she returned, the old couple were more worried about the child...

Seeing that the woman was about to be dragged back, her eyes were fixed on Chen, her eyes full of pleading.

She still asked Chen to save her child.

This scene made Chen, who was already feeling sorry for the situation, turn her head away.

"Ms. sir..."

She called Zhou Laoer softly, and the latter jumped off the ox cart directly.

"A grown man hitting his own wife, what a piece of shit!"

In front of so many people, Zhou Laoer went up and kicked the man who was holding the woman several feet away.

Tie Yuan kicked Zhou Lao San and Zhou Lao Da with the help of the skills he had acquired over the years on the battlefield, but Zhou Lao Er relied solely on strength.

The woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and she crawled towards the ox cart with the child in her arms.

The person opposite was stunned at first, then became agitated in an instant.

The leader also frowned. They had originally thought that this family was not easy to mess with, so they didn't want to take action. But then Li Yong's wife showed up and caused trouble...

Although we are close to Yunshui County, it is getting dark today. If we can get rid of these people...

After figuring it out, the leader raised his arm and shouted:

"Fellow villagers! We finally managed to get out of the pile of dead bodies, just to find a place to eat and survive, but we are not to be bullied by anyone!"

"Since someone has come to our door, we can't be cowardly! Go ahead!"

The refugees took out wooden sticks as thick as children's arms from somewhere and looked at them with wolves-like eyes.

There are so many bags on the ox cart... there should be a lot of food, right?

And these two cows, killing them would be enough for them to have two meals...

For a moment, this thought flashed through the minds of all the refugees.

Sang Lin knew that there was no way to resolve the matter today, so he winked at his brothers.

A few people understood and took a step back. In the astonished eyes of the Chen family, they actually took out several long knives from under the ox cart.

The leader on the opposite side was shocked when he saw it.

This tough guy is even harder to deal with than I imagined!

The refugees holding sticks also began to look at each other...
