It seems that you are going to flee from famine, don't be anxious or panic

Ning Chengcai finally split up some of his baggage and gave some to Old Lady Ning and Old Man Ning. Only then was he willing to continue walking with the bag on his back.

After walking for a while, the packages carried by the old lady and old man of the Ning family were forcibly handed over to the third family of the Ning family, asking them to help carry them.

After walking for about half an hour, the group finally arrived at the town. Fortunately, it didn't rain during this period.

At this time, almost all the shops in the town were closed. There were a few villagers walking around the streets, but no one else was seen. The once bustling streets suddenly became deserted.

Ning Yan couldn't help but frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him. When they came to buy things two days ago, there were still several shops open, even the grain store was open. Now, in just a few days, how come they are all closed?

The others also looked incredulous when they saw this. It felt as if they were the only people from their village left in the town. This feeling should not be thought about too much, as it would be easy to be scared if one did.

"Why is there suddenly no one in this town?" someone asked curiously.

No one answered him because no one knew.

A man in his 20s among the group of people walking ahead kindly replied,

"Several counties in the south have already been flooded. Seeing that the heavy rain is not stopping, it may soon reach our area, so many people are fleeing before the flooding occurs."

There were dozens of people in the group ahead, all walking together, most likely from the same village.

"Brother, are you from the south?" Huo asked.

"Yes, it's just across the town from you." The man just now answered.

"Thank you." Huo said.

The man waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing to worry about, and then continued walking forward.

Then Huo Yu said to his family, "Dad, Mom, and wife, let's find a place to rest and eat something before continuing on our journey. We'll try to reach the county town before dark."

It gets dark early now, before the hour of You. It is not long after noon now. The distance from the town to the county seat is about seven or eight kilometers. If they set off after eating, they will definitely arrive before dark.

"Okay." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Ning Chengyong then said to the village chief, "Village chief, what do you think?"

Village chief Wang thought to himself: Your family has already discussed it, and only now you think of asking me.

Although he was complaining in his heart, he still said: "Then let's all stop and rest, eat something and then continue on our journey."

In this situation, it is better to go to the county town as soon as possible, so that you can better inquire about the situation there.

When the group arrived in front of a restaurant in the town, Huo Yu said to Village Chief Wang, "Village Chief, can you send a few people to help me open this door?"

"This, this is not good, right?" Village Chief Wang said hesitantly.

What if the person comes back later and is discovered? Wouldn't they have to pay compensation? Paying money is a small matter, but being caught as a thief and imprisoned is not worth it.

"It's okay. Who knows if they will come back in the future? We are not destroying their things. We are just borrowing it. We can just install the door panel for them before leaving. Or do you have a better idea?" Huo said.

Now is not the time to talk about rules, what really matters is to suffer less.

Village chief Wang was stunned by this question. As they walked along, they found that almost all the shops in the town were closed. There was no place to shelter from the rain. Even if there was, it would not be able to accommodate hundreds of people.
