Chapter 52 Partner?

The group supported each other and walked out of the ruined temple for a few dozen meters. They were relieved to see that there were no yamen chasing after them to try to embarrass them.

The surrounding victims were swearing: "A group of bastards know how to bully us. They kicked us out this afternoon, where do they want us to settle down?"

After finally settling down for a few days, they were driven away again, and their hearts were very uncomfortable.

After the scolding, the victims became confused again, looking at the outskirts of Yimapingchuan, wondering where they could go in this big day?

After everyone came to the ruined temple a few days ago, Mr. Qin took Qin Erlang and Qin Sanlang to walk around the neighborhood. He was already familiar with the surrounding terrain. He stood there for a while, pointed to a small road on the right, and said, "Go this way. Walk, follow this path through four villages, and then climb a mountain, you can reach the official road, and after a few hours on the official road, you can reach the border of Yuchang Mansion."

Several families had no objection to Qin Lao's words, and nodded one after another: "We will listen to you."

The surrounding victims also heard Mr. Qin's words. Seeing that he was so familiar with the route, there were victims surrounded by victims. Qin Erlang took out his machete and looked at them coldly, saying, "Don't come here if you don't want to die!"

These victims have seen the ruthlessness of their group, and when they heard Qin Erlang's words, they looked at his cold face again, and hurriedly stood still, not daring to go forward.

Among the victims, there were two gray-haired old men in old coats who boldly stepped forward and said to Qin Lao: "This old brother, we have no ill intentions, we just want to ask, where are you going next? Let's go? If it's convenient, can you take a partner?"

Pointing to a group of victims behind him, he said, "We have about fifty people, surnamed Lin and Zhou, both of whom are well-off families and will not harm you or cause you trouble."

They have been watching what Gu Jinli and his group have done, and they feel that although this group of people is old and young, they are very fierce. While they have the ability to protect themselves, they will not bully others, which is very rare.If they can escort them to escape the famine, their Lin Zhou family will have a much better life.

Qin Lao glanced at them, shook his head and refused: "There's no need to be a partner. As for where we're going? Naturally, it's going south. There's only one way to go south. If you follow, we can't stop it."

After he finished speaking, he ignored them, left with a few families, and walked to the path on the right.

The two elderly Lin Zhou were very happy, and hurriedly greeted the family behind them: "Follow up."

Although Mr. Qin refused to join them, he did not forbid them to follow, which is a good thing.

The victims of the Lin and Zhou families hurried to keep up with their families, but Mr. Zhou and Mr. Lin were very measured and did not follow too closely, but kept a distance of more than ten meters from Mr. Qin and the others, so as not to annoy Mr. Qin and the others.

The rest of the victims who came out of the ruined temple saw this and followed suit.

Seeing the disaster victims following behind them, Mrs. Chen complained dissatisfiedly, "Old Qin, why do you let them follow? What if they come to snatch our belongings?"

She tightly guarded the money and water on her body, for fear of being robbed by the victims.

Qin Laodao said: "With Wu Da's affairs ahead, they dare not rob us, they will only respect us."

This is how people are. If you are weak, they will bully you; if you are cruel, they will fear you and even respect you.

"Respect us?" Mrs. Chen didn't believe it: "You are always talking nonsense, so they can respect us?"

Qin Laodao: "You will know later."

Mrs. Chen, it is useless for you to tell her more, unless she suffers a disaster or gets a benefit, she will believe you.

Half an hour later, they walked to the end of the path and saw a village, but the villagers were afraid of the victims, so they asked the strong men in the village to stop them at the entrance of the village, preventing the victims from entering the village.

However, there are several water tanks at the entrance of the village, which can be sold to the victims.

Water is very expensive. Two taels of silver per jar is almost like stealing silver. Gu Jinli and his family hesitated for a while, but they still bought three jars of water.

Although the rest of the victims were in pain, they knew the preciousness of water, and they pooled money to buy water.

After buying water, they circled the village and continued on their way, and finally came to the foot of the mountain as evening approached.

Seeing that it was getting late, the third grandfather and Qin Lao said, "Stop, let's spend the night here tonight, continue on our way in the morning, cross this mountain, and say Shangguan."

Afraid of death, Mrs. Chen thought of what the head of the yamen had said, and hurriedly shouted: "The officers and soldiers are coming tomorrow morning. If we go on our way tomorrow, won't we be beaten to death by the officers and soldiers?!"

Qin Laodao said: "Even if the officers and soldiers come, they will search around the suburbs, and they won't catch up with us all at once. If we get up early tomorrow, we will travel early in the morning, and we won't be overtaken by the officers and soldiers."

Those officers and soldiers are not so busy, as long as the victims don't stay outside Yuchang Mansion, they don't really care.

"Really? Don't lie to us, Mr. Qin." As soon as Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Gu Dagui roared, "What's the matter? Hurry up and help San Auniang cook."

Every day she doesn't do business, she just asks questions, do you know that everyone is annoying her talking?His face was almost lost by her.

Several families pooled together to buy food, and paid according to the head, and when they ate, they also ate according to the head.These grains are managed by the third grandfather. When it comes to cooking, the third grandfather will take out the grain to the third grandma, and let the third grandma bring a few women to cook together.

Chen was afraid that others would steal it, so he was very active in cooking every time. Hearing Gu Dagui's words, he found the third grandmother with a gust of wind under his feet and asked her for food to cook.

In addition to pooling money to buy food with everyone, Gu Jinli's family, Luo's family, and Qin's family also bought some food for themselves and saved them for emergency.

The other victims also stopped and saw their families cooking.These families are so fierce that even a ten-year-old girl dares to use a dagger to rip through an adult's tendons and tendons, but they can't provoke them.

After watching for a while, the victims scattered around to look for food.

Gu Jinli was not idle, and took Luo Huiniang and Tian Xiaohua into the mountains to find all kinds of edible things and medicinal herbs.

"Little fish, wait, I'll go with you." Gu Jinan tied a small sack around his waist, grabbed a hatchet, and caught up with them.

Gu Jinli knew that Gu Jinan was frightened by her actions in the ruined temple, so she wanted to follow her and protect her at critical moments, so that she would not be stained with blood again.

She wanted to say that it was unnecessary, but knowing that Gu Jinan's temper was a little stubborn, she nodded and smiled: "Okay." The group of four entered the mountain.

Gu Jinxiu really wanted to go with them, but she wanted to take care of Brother Cheng, and she was afraid that she would be too weak and would hold back Gu Jinli, so she stayed with Cui and the others honestly.

Gu Damu and Gu Dalin's two girls are too young, and Gu Jinli didn't take them, for fear that if something happened, he wouldn't be able to protect too many people.

As for Gu Yumei, the girl from the village chief's family didn't like her very much, so she didn't call her if she didn't play with them, so as not to make fun of herself.

The Yuchang Mansion was not as badly affected as the Seven Mansions in the Northwest, and they could find a lot of food. The four of them walked around the mountain and found a bundle of green and yellow wild vegetables.
