Quick Wear: To get home quickly, do the task

Chapter 44 Is it so risky to live together?

There was no other way. Yuan Feng had only practiced the Vajra Kung Fu for a few days, and his strength was far different from that of a man. He could only put out the fire and bully the refugees, who were invisible and had to resort to dirty tricks!

Relying on his agility, Yuan Feng stopped after knocking each man unconscious with a stick.

As for the refugees who ran ahead, she had no way to control them.

Under the current circumstances, she couldn't stay too far away from the Lin family.

Amidst the chaos, there were cries of women and children! Fortunately, this wave of refugees had no intention of harming anyone; they just looted and left.

No one dared to sleep that night.

The next morning, the village chief checked every household for damage. Most of the villagers had suffered some damage, with only the village chief's family, the butcher Li's, and the hunter Zhang's families remaining intact.

Hey! There are also the Lin family and the Shen family?

The village chief's family has many strong laborers. Butcher Li and Hunter Zhang look strong, so ordinary refugees will not go after them.

What's more, if they rushed forward, those two families had seen blood and were armed, so they were not afraid at all of these refugees who pretended to be fearless but were actually weak inside!

Instead, it’s the Lin family and the Shen family!

Even though the Shen family had two strong laborers, the father and son rarely fought in the village, let alone facing those desperate refugees. It was considered brave of them if they were not scared silly.

Not to mention the Lin family. They have no strong labor force at all and are at the very end. It is strange that they are intact!

Not only the village chief was puzzled, but the Lin family and the Shen family were also puzzled!

After Yuan Feng extinguished the torch last night, they also couldn't see clearly, so they all gathered around the car and didn't dare to move. Then they seemed to see someone rushing over, and after a while there was no sound!

......

No matter whether the villagers were injured or had their belongings robbed, they could not stay where they were to rest, but had to keep moving.

However, the village chief added the Lin family to the list of people on guard every night.

Before, because the Lin family had only one male child who was only fifteen years old, and Zhang had lent the village a lot of food, the village chief still took some care of him.

But now, most people's families have suffered losses, but hers is fine, so the villagers have complaints!

It took another month and a half of walking before they got out of Pingzhou.

If you don’t have enough to eat every day, you will walk slowly, not to mention you have to find water along the way!

There is not much food left, and the villagers can only eat as little as possible, hoping to survive until they can reach a place where there is no disaster.

During this journey, over twenty people from the village had already died! Some were attacked by refugees, others died of disease, and some died of starvation because they wanted to leave food for their families.

In short, it is a human tragedy!

The Lin family no longer dares to eat carelessly. Under the watchful eyes of the villagers, they just have enough water for every meal.

And the Shen family is also going to run out of food...

This is very embarrassing!

Yuan Feng didn't know whether to help them.

The main reason is that in the original owner's memory, it seemed that the Shen family did not do anything to directly hurt her. Of course, some small things were a bit disgusting!

For example, after traveling together for such a long time, my mother's father and eldest brother knew that the Lin family did not have a single strong laborer, yet no one came to help pull the cart!

And none of the original owner's wishes were related to her family! Even in her previous life, after being separated, the original owner had never thought about finding her family!

So it’s not easy. What if it doesn’t suit the original owner’s wishes and he doesn’t give the merit?

[......] Do you like merit so much? It seems the system has found a way to control the host!

"Xiao Feng, the village chief just called me, Butcher Li, and Hunter Zhang over.

The village chief wants those of us who still have some surplus food to share some with those who are out of food.”

Unknowingly, Yuan Feng has become the backbone of the Lin family!

"Did mother agree?"

Yuan Feng bet that Zhang Shi didn't agree! Food is life now. How many people would rather starve to death than help others?

"Of course I can't agree, but I didn't refuse either! I just said if the Li and Zhang families agree, then I agree!"

"Mom is awesome! They definitely didn't agree, right?" Yuan Feng praised sincerely.

Zhang is indeed a clever woman! The fact that she didn't sell her grain last year is a strange sign! It's likely she heard some speculation, analyzed it, and decided there would be a disaster this year, so she prepared early!

If she hadn't died in her previous life, perhaps Shen Feng's ending wouldn't be so tragic!

"Well, naturally, the two families wouldn't agree, saying they didn't have enough food! Furthermore, they decided not to wait for the villagers tomorrow and were going to leave first! When I came back, the village chief was still trying to persuade them."

"Mom, we can't go with the villagers. With so many households out of food, the village will be in chaos sooner or later, and we won't be able to keep our food supply!"

Besides, drinking porridge with only a few grains of rice every day will easily wear down your body! If we go our separate ways, at least we can have a full meal!

"That's what I mean. Get up early tomorrow and leave quietly! Otherwise the villagers will talk about us and might even try to stop us from leaving! But..."

Zhang glanced in the direction of her daughter-in-law's family. "What about your family? Are they running out of food too?"

"should be!"

The two were talking in low voices when they heard footsteps.

"In-laws!" Just as she was talking about the Shen family, her father Shen Fu came over.

Shen Fu and Zhang exchanged a few pleasantries before stating their purpose, which turned out to be to borrow food!

"Mom, let me talk to my dad." After saying that, she pulled Shen Fu aside.

"Dad, my husband's family is running low on food. I don't know if they can make it to Hancheng."

"Dad knows everyone is short of food right now. But as long as we can hold on until we get to the next county town, we'll be fine. We still have some money at home. I'll go into town and buy some food and return it to your mother-in-law."

In the original owner's memory, the next county town was impossible to enter.

Because there were too many refugees, the government was afraid of causing trouble, so they simply did not let anyone into the city.

So even if my mother's father still has money, he can't buy food, so what can he use to pay back?

But it doesn't seem good to watch them starve to death.

Although this place is much better than Pingzhou.

There is no green to be seen in Pingzhou, whether in the fields or on the mountains.

At least there is vegetation on the mountain here, and there should be edible wild vegetables.

But there were too many refugees, and they had basically run out of food by the time they got here. Even if there were some wild vegetables, they would not be enough for these people to grab.

Some refugees even resorted to cannibalism! They had completely lost their humanity and specifically targeted children who were left alone!

"Well, Dad, don't bother asking me to lend you food. You might not be able to buy food in the next county.

We're planning to leave ahead tomorrow. Talk to my mom and the others. If you're willing to come with us, you can pull the cart for me, and I'll provide you with a pound of grain a day!

This way I can explain to my mother-in-law!"
