I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

Of course, this center was actually only a few steps away from Liu Yingcai and his friends' resting place, so he walked there quickly.

In order to make sure everyone could hear what he said, he asked Liu Yunpeng to bring a high stool so that he could stand on it and speak.

After seeing his series of actions, the villagers all knew that the village chief was going to give a speech and they had to go over to listen. Because when he used to hold meetings in the village, he liked to stand on high places, so now that no one had notified them, they all gathered around.

Seeing that most people had gathered, Liu Yingxiong cleared his throat twice to signal quiet, then he said, "Someone just rode Yingcai's horse out. I believe many people have seen this, and you may not be very clear about the reason why they went out. Now I will explain it to you all."

Hearing this, someone was confused and said, "Village Chief, I'm not curious about where they went. I just want to know when we can set off on our journey. We've already rested for an extra half hour waiting for them! I don't know if we can find a good place to stay tonight."

Someone echoed, "Yes! Village chief, let's get going quickly!"

Liu Yingxiong pressed his hand down and continued loudly, "Everyone, don't rush to leave. Listen to what I have to say first. No one will stop you if you leave later."

Some older, calmer people thought that since they had been waiting for so long, they were not afraid of a little while longer. So they said to Liu Yingxiong, "Okay, then tell me now! We have been waiting for so long anyway, there is no need to rush. If it really doesn't work, let's just walk a few steps faster!"

Seeing that everyone had finally stopped arguing, Liu Yingxiong stopped talking and quickly told Wang Feng and the others the information they had found out.

Then the whole audience was silent. Liu Yingxiong thought they didn't understand, so no one spoke. When he was about to repeat it again, someone spoke.

"Hero! Are you serious? If so, wouldn't it be like committing suicide if we continue walking?"

Liu Yingxiong looked at Liu Yingjie, who was one year older than him. Like everyone else, he was standing in the crowd with his son. After hearing what he had just said, he couldn't accept it for a moment and asked questions.

Liu Yingxiong knew that it was normal for him to have such doubts. After all, he didn't want to believe it at first, but this was the fact, which forced him to repeat this fact again in an affirmative tone and also mentioned the difficulties of moving forward and backward.

"How could this happen? Although the road to escape famine is never easy, what's the difference between what's happening now and sending us to our deaths?" Those who didn't bring many thick clothes and quilts were in despair at this time.

If they go forward, they will be waiting for bandits with knives. If they take a detour, it will prolong their escape time and they may encounter heavy snow. However, they do not have enough food and clothes to support them in taking a detour.

Some smart people thought that since the village chief could tell them so directly, he might have already made a plan, so he asked loudly: "Village chief, what do you think?"

Hearing someone ask this, the others stopped discussing the topic and looked up at Liu Yingxiong who was standing on the high ground.

He said calmly, "What can I do? Of course we should keep going! I think you all know the consequences of taking a detour, so why don't we unite and move forward?"

At this point, he bent down and said something to Liu Yunpeng, who was standing in front of him like a bodyguard. Then Liu Yunpeng took out the crossbow and handed it to him.

Then he pointed the crossbow at the crowd and raised it, continuing loudly, "We are armed. If we encounter those bandits, we may not be without the ability to fight. For the sake of our families, we should also move forward courageously."
