Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

"Chen Chong! You're Chong, kid?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Chen Youjin quickly recognized the person.

That's Chen Chong, the youngest son of Chen Youqian.

"Why are you alone? Where are the other villagers from Chenjiagou? Weren't you with them?"

When he suggested that everyone leave together, the villagers made many sarcastic remarks about him, saying that he was afraid of death.

Although he was angry, he was still very happy to meet fellow villagers again after going through so many hardships and dangers.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is more heartwarming than anything else.

Chen Chong quietly rubbed his reddened eyes and said with a smile, "It's not just me, there are other villagers too, they're all behind us."

"I came to the city gate first to check out the situation, so I came ahead of time."

At this point, he suddenly lowered his eyes, and his voice became softer.

"However, we left too late and encountered several groups of bandits on the way, resulting in the deaths of many villagers."

Not only that, they also encountered an enormous brown bear on the mountain.

If the brown bear hadn't had cubs to care for, and if they hadn't run fast enough, they might not have been able to escape successfully.

It's all Wang Feng's fault, her own son, who insisted on wanting to eat meat.

That old hag Yang Zhangshi, poor Yang Erlang only left her this one grandson. Driven by greed, she instigated several greedy men in the village to steal the brown bear cub.

Enraged by the men, the brown bear slapped one of them to death before he could escape. The remaining men howled and ran back to their camp, attracting the bear's attention.

These people wanted to curse them to death, but they had no choice but to run desperately up the mountain.

Luckily they ran fast, otherwise they wouldn't be alive now, and they wouldn't have met Chen Youjin and the others.

Upon hearing his words, Chen Youjin suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

"How many people are left in the village?"

Even if he wasn't a competent village head, he didn't want all the villagers to die a violent death.

After all, they all came from the same ancestor.

Chen Chong dared not raise his head, his voice trembling as he said, "...there are still more than forty people."

Chen Youjin: ...

With over thirty households and more than two hundred people, a natural disaster and a man-made calamity wiped out the remaining sixty-odd families in Chenjiagou, including these three families.

Ordinary people's lives are so cheap.

Chen Youjin couldn't help but sigh, "Ah... it's all fate."

I cannot say another word.

Liu Guifang and others couldn't help but sigh: How pitiful, how truly pitiful.

Granny Mei curled her lips into a sneer, inwardly sneering: "If only she had listened to the village head and gone with them earlier! She had to insist on clinging to her little plot of land. Now look what's happened, she's lost both her money and her family. Heh heh."

Zhao Qiaolan was secretly delighted.

Did Zhao Yan and her mother also die?

It's good that they're dead. Now that they're dead, Yang Sanlang is completely hers.

"Chong'er? Chong'er?"

Just then, the anxious calls of Granny Niu came from afar.

Chen Chong suddenly raised his head, stood up, and ran back.

"Mother, I'm here."

Supported by Chen Tietou and Chen Tiedan, Granny Niu walked forward. Seeing that Chen Chong was not missing any limbs, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

After sighing, she pursed her lips and slapped her son on the shoulder.

"Are you trying to kill me?! Why are you running so fast? Couldn't you wait for everyone to set off together?"

There was no other way; the previous incident of bandits killing people had really terrified her. She only had one son left, Chong'er, and she absolutely couldn't let anything else happen to him.

"Mother, I'm fine."

Chen Chong grinned and gave his mother a fawning smile.

Behind them followed other villagers from Chenjiagou.

They were all exhausted, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

Wang Feng handed her son to Yang Zhangshi to look after, straightened her clothes and cuffs, walked gracefully to Chen Chong, and gave him a sweet smile.

"Brother Chen Chong, what's the situation at the city gate? Are they letting us in?"

She consciously showed Chen Chong her best side, but Chen Chong frowned in disgust and quickly took two steps back, instantly widening the distance between them.

The taste is really strong.

"Sister-in-law Yang, don't get too close to me, I haven't gotten married yet."

This is out of disdain for Wang Feng's shamelessness in flirting with men.

The old woman's eyes widened like a bull's, and she stepped forward and shoved the shameless Wang Feng away, almost sending her sprawling face-first into the mud.

"You, Wang Feng, you want to seduce my son? Let me tell you, you can forget about it!"

"Aunt Niu, don't talk nonsense. How could I have seduced your son?"

Being publicly humiliated by a man, Wang Feng was so ashamed that she wanted to slap him twice.

Made.

I'm doing you a favor by liking me, yet you dare to humiliate me?

You bastard! You son of a bitch!

Old woman Niu didn't waste her breath on her. Her cold gaze went straight to Yang Zhangshi behind her, and she said sarcastically, "Yang Zhangshi, your second son just died, and his wife is already trying to seduce other men. If your second son knew, wouldn't he be so angry that he'd be green with envy?"

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

Yang Zhangshi was exhausted and hungry and just wanted to find a place to sit down and rest, but some people just couldn't let her off the hook and kept making her unhappy.

Damn it, you just like to cause trouble, don't you?

She stepped forward, grabbed Wang Feng's hair, and slapped her face several times. As Wang Feng screamed in terror, she used both hands and with a brute force, tore a hole in Wang Feng's clothes.

"I'll teach you to be a slut! I'll teach you to find men! You like being a slut, huh? You like finding men? Then why are you even wearing clothes? Just take them off! Let everyone see what a slut you are!"

Both sides of the road were filled with other refugees stranded here. Hearing the commotion, some thugs actually looked over with longing eyes, occasionally letting out a loud whistle.

"Wow! This woman's front is so white!"

Wow, it's huge! That's so exciting!

"Damn! It's been so long since I've touched it, I've forgotten what it feels like."

Wang Feng, as if possessed, clung to Yang Zhangshi while shouting, "Ah! Don't look! Don't look!"

When Yang Zhangshi got tired of hitting her, she finally slapped Wang Feng, pushed her away, and coldly said to her, "Get out of here. My Erlang doesn't want a wife like you."

Anyway, her second son is already dead, so it doesn't matter whether she has a daughter-in-law or not, as long as her grandson stays.

Unexpectedly, Wang Feng suddenly grabbed her leg, lay on the ground, and pleaded desperately, "No, Mother, please don't leave me! I was wrong, I'll never do it again, sob sob sob—"

She couldn't survive alone in this world without the Yang family; she didn't want to leave.

"roll!"

With a ferocious expression, Yang Zhangshi kicked Wang Feng away, staggered back, and hugged the terrified Yang Tieniu in her arms.

"Don't be afraid, Tie Niu. Your mother doesn't want you anymore. From now on, you'll stay with your grandmother."

The other villagers had enjoyed a free laugh, and only then did they remember they had important questions to ask.

Just then, Chen Youjin and the other two families arrived. Seeing the scene before them, they asked in annoyance, "Erlang's wife, what are you all doing now?"
