Chapter 53

Zheng Guizhen's eyes were flustered.He pointed to the back, where there were several fleeing people with scars.They gasped for breath, and their eyes showed the restlessness of the rest of their lives.

A checkpoint was set up at the ferry to collect sky-high boat fares.The rich pass.Many who could not escape settled nearby, waiting for the mercy of the government or soldiers to let them pass.

But at night, when the soldiers were resting, countless robbers and bandits came and robbed many fleeing people.If you don't keep up, just kill them.The men escaped, but fell and were injured along the way, nearly dying. "

Shen Yunxi was dumbfounded, she guessed it.The people in the government reached an agreement with the bandits to catch those who fled famine.

This is a world where people eat people, and the world will fall into chaos.

The situation was critical, Shen Yunxi looked at the people behind him, they were all nervous and scared.She pointed to a cave not far away, and said to them: "Go to the empty cave to rest, and I will deliver vegetable dumplings to you later."

One of them was very grateful.They lost all their belongings during their escape. "Thank you for taking us in."

"Daniu, go to the village chief again, say hello to the village chief, ask how the situation is, and then think about future plans." Shen Yunxi has no right to make decisions on such important matters.

Tian Daniu was also worried that the bandits would catch up, making it even more difficult to escape. "I'm going to tell the village chief now."

The men limped and helped each other into the hole.

Zheng Guizhen was also helped into the cave and washed her feet with warm water.Her icy body gradually calmed down.

Tian Qiaoling and Tian Junling brought boiled water and vegetable dumplings. "Mother, don't be afraid, we escaped luckily."

Zheng Guizhen drank the water and was very happy.Later, he was afraid again: "Fortunately, your fourth aunt and the village chief decided not to live near the ferry, otherwise we, women and children, would all be taken away. I heard that men would be sent to mines, and young women would be sold Dirty places where older women are sold as slaves to rich people. The end will be tragic and we cannot be caught."

Shen Yunxi looked out solemnly.It wasn't raining, but it wasn't sunny either, and the ground was muddy.The road is not good now.They want to escape, but how far can they escape?
"Fourth brother and sister, what should we do?" When Zheng Guizhen was full, she looked better and leaned against the fire.Her whole body became hot.

Shen Yunxi didn't know, everyone stared at her.She couldn't show her panic and fear.She smiled slightly. "Sister-in-law, let's wait for the village chief to discuss it. There will always be a way. We can escape one disaster, and we can escape countless times."

After hearing this, Tian Xiuli breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother, will the robbers catch up here? The road outside is very muddy. If it rains, we won't be able to go far. My sister is still sick. She is not in good health, and it will be easier to hurry on the road." serious."

Shen Yunxi thought for a while, and said slowly: "We can't walk fast, and those robbers also walk slowly. Obviously, they can guard near the ferry, so that they can catch a steady stream of victims. They shouldn't be in the mountains Hunt us down."

Zheng Guizhen looked at the few people in the tree hole not far away, and nodded: "Fourth brother and sister, you are right. If those robbers insist on arresting them, they will not be able to escape. We are safe here for the time being."

Although the person was not as scared as before, their eyes were still confused.
