Chapter 69 Zhang Fuhu leads a team out of the city to pursue Su Yunhai

“My daughter came back from Qingzhou, and she knows that area very well. I think this road will work. Uncle Li, what do you think?”

Village Chief Li's original name was Li Youren. He has already stepped down from his post and is no longer serving as village chief. It would be inappropriate for Su Yunhai to continue calling him village chief.

Li Youren had only ever been to Qingyun City and knew nothing about other places.

Now we can only follow Su Yunhai's arrangements.

He nodded directly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Many people in our Li family are indeed running low on food. We need to find a chance to go to the city to buy some more."

After agreeing on the route, Su Yunhai led the team ahead.

However, the Su family had four mule carts and one horse-drawn carriage, but the number of male members in the Su family was insufficient.

Seeing that his daughter's family was short-handed, the grandfather sent several of his sons and grandsons to help drive the carriage.

Su Yunhai decided not to drive anymore and asked two more people to help drive, so that Shen Yuehua and Su Pingan could sit and rest in the carriage.

He led the way on the horse his daughter had prepared for him.

Most of the Li family members own cars, and although they seem to be carrying a lot of supplies, most of them are actually household belongings, with very little food and water left.

Shen Shuli rode her horse at the very back of the procession.

She didn't want to stay in the stuffy train car; she preferred to be outside.

along the way.

Shen Shuli's gaze swept across the road, where there were several hundred refugees on both sides.

But these people were clearly not one group; they were divided into several smaller groups.

These people looked at the convoy from Peach Blossom Village with eager eyes, but no one dared to come forward and test the waters.

Because almost all the men in the Peach Blossom Village team were carrying broadswords.

These people dared not act blindly, either because they were not yet out of ammunition and supplies, and therefore were unwilling to gamble with their lives.

Shen Shuli's group had only been gone for an hour.

Zhang Shiwen and his family, along with the other villagers from Peach Blossom Village, also arrived at the tea stall.

I searched around but couldn't find a single person I knew.

He didn't know whether Su Dahai's family hadn't come down the mountain or had already left.

They specifically sought out information from nearby refugees.

"Gentlemen, have any of you seen a 200-pound fat man leading hundreds of villagers who have fled famine passing by?" Zhang Shiwen asked anxiously.

Things have been really unsettled in the city lately.

It's all thanks to God that we were able to leave the city today.

He overheard the discussions among the people of Qingyun City, saying that hundreds of people had been chopped into mincemeat by a mysterious force in front of the city gate.

The mysterious person also left a message instructing the people to flee immediately.

Zhang Shiwen also saw the blood-red characters on the city wall, and was terrified.

He didn't dare go to the county government office to check the situation, fearing that the soldiers would arrest them.

Seeing that the city gate was unguarded, they immediately led the villagers out and hurried on their way.

They agreed to meet at this tea stall.

He dared not make a hasty decision about whether to leave or wait, fearing that both sides might miss out.

The refugees on the roadside saw that Zhang Shiwen's clothes were made of soft, fine cotton cloth and that he was carrying several cartloads of supplies, so it was clear that he was not short of food.

Most importantly, few of these people were carrying knives.

Their hearts began to stir.

Zhang Shiwen is a very shrewd businessman who frequently deals with all sorts of businessmen.

Basically, you can glean some of the other person's thoughts from their eyes.

He noticed the glint in the man's eyes, which suggested he had seen Su Dahai before. However, the man's gaze kept scanning his clothes and the supplies behind him, so he knew the man was trying to make an exorbitant demand.

If he were to actually grant this person's request for a piece of information, then the hundreds of people along the way would probably not let them off the hook.

Once Zhang Shiwen understood the key point, he immediately turned around and left, not giving the other party a chance to speak at all.

The refugee was puzzled as to why this person was leaving without waiting for him to speak, and he immediately became anxious.

"Hey, why are you leaving? I haven't answered your question yet! Don't go!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shiwen walked even faster.

"Hurry up, Scholar Su is already ahead. If we hurry, we might be able to catch up."

"As you can see, there are already so many refugees by the roadside. There might be a large wave of refugees coming later. We have to leave quickly to prevent them from stealing our food."

Zhang Shiwen lowered his voice and reminded the people in the group to hurry up and continue their journey.

Everyone immediately became anxious upon hearing this.

Having been trapped in the city for the past two days, they had been keeping a close eye on the situation outside and knew that they could no longer buy food inside the city.

They consume a lot of food every day, and their food supplies are running low.

They couldn't let the last bit of food be stolen.

Seeing the wolf-like eyes of the homeless people on the roadside, Zhang Shiwen didn't need to urge them much; everyone was hurrying along at full speed.

The homeless people on the roadside were getting restless.

They could all hear these people carrying water, and the water was splashing and making a gurgling sound.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiwen immediately roared, "Brothers, show us your weapons! Anyone who dares to come near us, chop off their hands!"

After saying that, he took the lead in pulling out a large knife from the car and holding it in front of him, putting on a fierce expression.

But he was afraid, and his legs were trembling.

He was just a frail, wealthy businessman who had never drawn a knife before; this was the first time he had ever done so.

Among the villagers of Peach Blossom Village behind him, several families had participated in killing the mountain bandits.

They weren't afraid at all; they immediately drew their knives and stared fiercely at the people on both sides of the road.

They successfully dissuaded these people from their intentions.

Perhaps seeing that both this group and the previous group were carrying a lot of food, these refugees silently followed behind.

I hope to find an opportunity to beg for some food from these wealthy households.

Su Yunhai had no idea that his unusually large weight of 200 pounds had become a marker for others to identify him.

The official road was wide and the ground was flat.

The refugee group from Peach Blossom Village moved very quickly.

They couldn't help but be unhappy.

The further they went, the more other groups of refugees they encountered along the way.

Fortunately, these teams won't monopolize the entire road; they'll make way for faster teams that follow.

Otherwise, they would definitely be stuck at the back, and the progress would be slow.

Su Yunhai waved to Shen Shuli at the end of the line.

Shen Shuli spurred her horse forward a few steps to ride alongside Su Yunhai.

"What's wrong, Dad?"

"There are more and more refugees on the road, including some border residents. It is clear that a large wave of refugees is already on the road and may soon flood into Qingzhou."

Su Yunhai spoke to his daughter in a low voice, his voice filled with worry.

"Yes, I saw it too."

Although Shen Shuli was slowly swaying on her horse, she remained vigilant about her surroundings, fearing that these refugees would rush towards their group without regard for anything else.

“Our team is too small, and we’re carrying too much supplies, so we’re easy targets for refugees,” Su Yunhai continued. “When we find an opportunity, you can hide two cartloads of supplies in your spatial storage, and we’ll only need one cartload.”

“No problem, this is easy.” Shen Shuli nodded in agreement.

"As for the problem of the small size of the team, it is not easy to solve."

The villagers were not united, and when danger came, they each sought refuge elsewhere.

If they are incorporated into other villages as refugees, they might stab them in the back when they encounter danger.

It's not worth the risk at all.

The two were whispering to each other.

Suddenly, I heard someone familiar shouting from the group of refugees next to me.

"Hey, hey, look! Isn't that big fat guy Su Dahai, the scholar Su?"
